- ONE men see the poetry Of nature,
others see the logic Of her intricate
compost on. One man WHO sees
with the eyes of the scientist, as
well as the sentirnentalist, is Sir John
Lubbock, whom we know and love for
many endearing books on life and what
i, contains. The latest book Of The long
list of this active and erudite scholar is
published by the Mcmillan Company, and
treats of THE Scenery of Switzerland
The writer does not merely scan the sur
face of the picturesque republic: he adj
justs the lenses OF the naturalist and
looks into the heart OF things, revealing
much that is technical and might he stupid,
but which i'll its attractive form is of con
suninE interest. Sir John says In his
prerace: MY attention was from the
!irst directed to tie interesting problems
presented by the physical geography OF the
country tSwitzerlandl. 1 longed to know
what forces bad raised the mountains,

feeling sure that it would be welcome

interest OF Swiss trips" 1t is not re-
gretable that Tyndall or the others did
not write this book which Sir John speaks
OF, for he has done the desirable work
himself in an Incompatible manner. Every
period, phase. and curiosity of the phe-
nomena Of Swiss scenery has come under
his scrutiny in the present work.
1t was a labor OF moments OF a life

ORDER IN OUR HOMES.

If woman is IL .'balm Of Distress
she should also be Il centre Of order.
1t is impossible to over estimate the
importance of orderly habits not mere
ly TO herself, but to her relations and
friends. When early acquired they
become a kind Of instinct. discomfort
and disorder disappearing before them
as If by magic. For til. orderly ar

depends upon the amount of money
that is spent in it, but rather on the
habits Of its mistress. O~fconrse. clever
servants eau do a great deal. but even
they become dem"ralized in time
when the mistress and the Young
ladies of the house are not orderly.
1t is the details of comfort supplied
by the women who take care of it that
make Il home. The family sense of
we'll being does not consist in the 70
mantle surroundings or architectural
beauty of artistic furnishing of a house
so much as in the cleanliness. the neat
ness, the ~punctnality lin il word. the
order Of its interior economy. These
are the outward and visible signs of
the character of a good housekeeper !:

And its general completeness.
Wherein in cleanliness and sweetness

Our Duty to Cuba.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22-Congressman Rob
ert R. Hit, chairman of the house
committee on foreign relations, and a
candidate for the United States SEN
ate to succeed Senator Palmer, is at
the Great Northern hotel. When
asked what action he believed the
United States government should take
in regard to the Cuban struggle for in
dependence, MIR. Hit said: "Our duty
to the Cuban people is practical and
pressing question. Our government
should act at once, recognizing the
belligerency of people carrying on so
extensive a war. They have fought
great armies for year and half and
with success. The Cubans are truly
belligerents. Such action on the part
of our country would be of great ad-
vantage to them. Recognition of bel
ligerent rights is due under the prin-
ciples and practices of general inter-
national law and practice of the
United States government. We refuse
to see that they are belligerent enough
to defy and defeat 15O Spanish
troops. This is not a question of SYM
pachy, but of plain, pressing duty,
that should be performed immedi-
ately."

Now these were Yankee boys, slow
but shrewd. and they knew every
feather of the wings, every fold of the
comb and wattles of theirpet; but each
paid his dime and entered the museum
to be sure. Past the voluble Snowman,
the wax figures. the stuffed animals,
they silently strolled to the window.
No one else stood near within doors.
"Dance. Gobho! dance for the ladies!"
cried Bill. excitedly, striking the floor
with his cane; and his heart beat high.
Oh. how the crowd outside on the
street laughed as Gobbo Spread his tail
and danced "most high and disposedly,"

Queen Elizabeth in the gavotte.

was filled with a noisy but not disorder

the week. Even on Sundays at the
incoming, Bill proudly but secretly led
the neighbors' boys home to the farm
and behind the barn; though the dea-
cons sternly frowned on Sunday dance
even by turkey who had no soul to be
saved.
1t was the first of November; Gobbo
was still growing and still dancing,
when one day gaily-painted vehicle
with a smart horse came dashing into
town. The wagon had an inclosed box
behind the chaise front. 1t might be
taken for a peddler's cart or patent
medicine coach, but it was neither; it
was the collecting van of Boston "an-
tique-man." Persuasive. smiling, fiat
tering, peering into every kitchen cup
board and dresser, in every parlor clos
ct, in every bedroom and gabled attic,
he gathered in his lucrative country
harvest of brass and irons and candle
sticks, of old blue dishes and copper
lustre pitchers, of harpback chairs and
spinning wheels. He debonarily pur-
chased two pewter porringers, q sam
pier and an old mirror of Mrs. Prime,
while he effusively praised the farm
and the cattle. And as he partook of
the apples and cider generously set be-
fore him, he shouted with laughter at
Gobbo, who proudly danced for him
again and again. AS the early twilight
began to lower, the "antique-man'
called out cheerful goodnight and
drove away. Gobbo also stalked OIL
and forever-from the Prime dooryard,
for in the morning he had vanished from
the farm as completely as if he had
evaporated.
How the boys stormed and mourned;
how fiercely they descended on the
'colored" Johnsons, more than suspect
ed in the past of chicken stealing; how
they hunted the woods and meadows;
how they fretted and fumed-but to nc
avail. To check their worry and anger
their mother sent them off to Boston to
spend Thanksgiving week with their
married sister.
With the sea-loving curiosity of those
of inland birth and breeding, the boy:
haunted the wharves and lower portions
of the city; and on the day before
Thanksgiving, as they wandered .uI
from the docks through a crowded anC
