CONDITIONS IN CUBA.

The beginning of the sickly season
in Cuba-the season of rains and heat
and yellow fever--finds conditions
there materially changed from what
they were at the beginning of the last
sickly season. And the change is de-
eidedly to the disadvantage of the
Spanish cause. A year ago the insur-
gents held only small portion of the
cas- ern end of the island. Their bands
We're scattered and poorly armed.
Their leader, Marti, had just been kill
Ell, and the prospect for them seemed
blue. Since that time they have march
ed the whole length of the island, and
today, according to the most reliable
dispatches it is possible to get, they
are in virtual possession of the whole
island except Havana. And they
move about pretty much at will even
in Havana province. A year ago Span
ish power extended over all Cuba now
it is confined in the boundaries of the
capital city. Every province except
one is in successful revolt.

College Athletics.

ANY emphasis given to academic
gymnastics that goes beyond the point
Of developing a mans animalism for
any other purpose than to give the best
possible support to his enlargement as a
rational and moral possibility is a per-
version of the purpose Of human disci-
psine, and to that degree blocks the
wheels of ali proper college intention, "
writes DR.. Parkhurst in The Ladies'
Home Journal. Nevertheless the real
animus Of the athletic tendency is a
wholesome augury of better breed Of

AN incident that should prove ter
rible warning to wives is reported
from Fall River, Mass. The other
er morning woman went to take
some change out of her husbands
pocket. Just as she had inserted her
right hand into the pocket and was
about to grasp the coin she was strick-
en- with paralysis in that hand and
arm. She raised the other hand, to
take the first one out of the pocket,
and the left hand was also paralyzed
as it touched the pocket. The lesson
is plain; wives should never put their
hands into their husbands change
pockets.
