FRANCIS NEWLANDS.

Ambrose Bierce, in the Examiner, flies
at Hon. Francis g. Newlands after This
fashion. Mr.. Bieree is quite sarcastic
and evidently does not approve of Mr..
Newlands' talk in Reno. But here is
what he says:
Mr.. Francis Newlands, joint Repre-
sentative in Congress of Dead Cow
Springs and the State OF Nevada, has
taken the field against Great Britain.
The torehanded patiot declares that he
has enlisted himself for the war, and
sooner than yield to the foeman he will
run away if he falls dead in shoes for it
He has flung his banner to the breeze,
inscribed in the blood of a dove, "War,
with Reason or without Reasoni" And
back ovor his shoulder he shouts from
the battles van the ringing sentiment
that war is a public blessing, for it
means free coinage of silver Let us
draw our serried ranks across his line of
retreat and keep him up to the work.
And when he shall fall dead in his shoes
rather than stop talking, let us give him
a nero'sburial in congenial alkali, where
he can sleep well with these lines in
screaming brass above him:
Dead for his country. On the field OF fame
Great Bitain shook at his self-shouted name
His warfare DER, his daath-song done
God rest in Heaven his immortal tongue.

MUCH IN LITTLE.

The following won the prize recently
offered by certain publication for the
best history of the United States in one
hundred words. 1t illustrates how
greatly the history of whole country
can be condensed:
"The revival of learning, commercial
rivalry, and religious zeal in Europe lei
to Columbus discovery of America in
1902. Conflicting territorial claims. and
parental animosity involved English,
French and Spanish colonists in wars,
eliminating in English supremacy in
1883. England's oppression alienated
colonial affection, induced revolution,
hastened independence. Common cause
and danger begat colonial union; the
weakness of the confederation denlan J.
ed federal republic. Party iiffsren ,es
tempted legislation. Negro slavery pre-
cipitated civil strife, secession, einanci-
patton. Federal authority supreme, rec-
ognizgtion succeeded. Religions free
dom, an unmuzzeled press, invention
internal improvement and univers, |
education have conspired Il prosperity
at home and honor abroad"

why We Need Change Of ,ir.

Often the mere removal from
one part of a town to another will
result in an immediate and mani
fest improvement. L know of an
instance in which gentleman, a
sufferer from asthma and bron-
chitis, whose home was in a heal
thy part of Surrey, obtained very
great relief by a short residence
among the slums of Seven Dials.
Children seem especially benefited
by a change of air; so much so
that it is often advisable to remove
them even during severe illness.
1t is well known that wild beasts
in travelling menageries, in spite
of the rough and limited accom-
modation which they have to put
up with, are more healthy and live
longer than those which have all
the care which science and money
can provide in the Geological
Garden. If, therefore, a race of
nomads, to whom vagrant habits
had become a second nature, were
compelled to live permanently in
one spot, one would expect that
some evil consequences would en-
sue, and that these would be es-
pecially liable to show themselves
when the general vitality had been
lowered by disease. And, con-
versely, it seems reasonable to
conclude that a renewal OF the
conditions to which the constitu-
ton of man was originally adapt
ed would contribute to the recoy.

story oftho Reel Of TuIIoch

AS we enter Strathspey by the
Abernethy forest we pass through
the district of Tulloch, the scene
and birthplace Of the famous
Reel of Tulloch. Here some 2C0
years ago lived the Laird of
Tulloch, with his lovely daughter
Isabel. To her came many suitors
from many lands, for. she had
beauty and her father had wealth.
Among them was Macgregor,
whom the maiden secretly loved
and favored; and a Robertson,
whom her friends favored, but
whom she disliked. AS time went
on the rivalry between these two
suitors became fierce, until the
Robertson resolved on the des-
truction of the Macgregor.
Getting together small party of
his clan, he surprised the Macgre-
gor as he wandered down Spey-
side with the lovely Isabel. But
the Macgregor was more than a
match for the Robertsons, whom
he kept at bay until he reached
the friendly shelter of a barn.
Dashing in there, he kept them
all at a distance until Isabel had
barricaded the door, and then he
picked them off with his musket,
which Isabel loaded for him as
fast as he discharged it. And so
he destroyed the whole band,
which included the treacherous
brother of the prosecuted damsel.
Thereupon the Macgregor issued
from his shelter, and, seizing the
pipes, celebrated his victory by
playing a new dance, which he
composed as he played in q
moment of fierce inspiration.
And this was the famous Reel of
Tulloch, and the date of the story
was in or about the year l640.-

WHY M.NNlX LEFT CUBA.
Sent False News and Spanish Government
Expelled Him from Island.

Washington, Feb e. Minister Dupuy
de LONE, wien asked, this morning, about
the expulsion OF Correspondent William
+. Mannix from Cuba, said:
Mannix came TO Consul General Bald
asane very well introduced as a newspaper
man, las: fall, ana asked assistance TO 60
to Cuba to send reliable news to syndi-
cate of newspapers which had agreed t.
take his letter, but would rot advance him
money. Under guarantee that he won d
send unbiased reports, | authorized tn,
consul general TO pay his fare to Cuba.
After Mannix got there in November
and December, he wrote back announcing
that he was trusted bs the rebels AND
offered his services as a spy to furnish the
consul general with confidential reports
Of the insurgents plans. instructed the
consul general to decline the offer most
emphaticaliy, which he did. ms we had No
need for American spies in Cuba.
Mannix Immediately began TO send
lies TO the papers here and rs they are pub
lished, the authorities in Havana expclled
him, as they had a perfect right to do. II
paying Mannix's fare to Cuba it was not
contemplated to influence his reports, a.
can be shown by his subsequent letters
offering rebel information.

MARVELLOUS AseESTus.
Known For Ages, but of Little Practical
Use Until About Twenty Years Ago.

Asbestus is n wonderful substance. The
lamc comes from Greek word meaning
nconsumable. Fire will not burn it. acids
will not gnaw it, weather will not corrode
It. 1t is the paradox of minerals. for it is
luarriod just like marble The fibers of
which it is composed are soft as silk and
inc and feathery enough to float on water,
yet in the mines they are so compressed
hat they are hard and crystalline like
tone.
Although the substance has been known
or ages in the form of mountain cork or
mountain leather. comparatively little has
been learned as to its geological history
and formation. A legend tells how the
Emperor Charlemagne being possessed of
} tablecloth woven of asbestus, was &C
customed to astonish his guests by gather
ing 1t up after the meal, casting it into
the fire and withdrawing il later cloansed
but unconsumed
Yet, although the marvellous attributes
of asbestus have been known for so long,
they were turned to little practical use I'M
til about 90 years ago. Since that time,
says the New York World, the manufac-
cure of the material has grown until it
can take its place with any of the indus
tries OF the country. Indeed so rapid has
been its progress and developments that
there Is almost no literature of any kind
on the subject. and to the popular mind
1t Is still one of those inexplicable things.

A NOVEL WILL CASE
In Which Five Somerset Persons Receive
Unexpected lesacies.

A novel will ease came up in Massa'
chusetts, recently, in which certain Somer-
set people were interested. Susan Latham
Of Bridgewater Mass, died, two years
ago, the possessor Of property valued at
$40, 200. Forty years ago in a moment of
anger against her family, she made u will
devis'ng all her property to the heirs of a
great aunt and great uncle who had then
been dead 30 years
She had never seen these heirs at the
time of making the will and knew moth
ing of them. She subsequently became
reconciled to her family but forgot about
the will In the hands of a lawyer. At her
death the will was brought into probate
court, proved and allowed
One branch of the family numbers six,
and five of them reside in Somerset
county: Warren Blanchard OF Madison,
Hiram, Jesse and Josiah of Skowhegan,
Mrs. Mary Ann Russell of Madison, and
Jane Mason Of Massachusetts, are the per-
sons who received 1926 each after the pay
ment OF all legal expenses
The other branch of the family was very
much more prolific and numbers SO per
sons, residing in Maine, Massachusetts
and other states.
Forrest Goodwin, Esq looked after the
case for the Somerset heirs, and secured a
reversal Of decision in probate court
which decreased the cash received by the
Somerset heirs $1,000. The amount they
received was entirely unexpected until
they heard of Mrs Latham and her will,
and then they had not sufficient faith in
the case to advance any money to employ
a lawyer to look after it. 1t was neverthe-
less very acceptable windfall to all of
them. Somerset Reporter.

Germany Is Perfectly Satisfied With Mr.. Uhl

Washington. Feb. 6.-The state depart

been really no doubt on that score, as as
surance to that effect was given unot1

foreign office few days after Ambassador
Runyon's death, when Mr.. Uhl's name
was first mentioned for the position
But since the experience Of the United
States with Mr.. Kelley of Virginia, who
was rejected by China, the custom has
been established CT making inquiry in ad

of diplomatic officer, whether he would
