Spanish Pride,

A public man who formerly lived
much in Spain, who knows the lam
guage like a native, and who has q
large acquaintance among Spanish
politicians, has Just returned here
from a few weeks holiday, spent chief
ly in Madrid and Malaga. He says
that the condition Of that country Is
one of indescribable pathoS. The peo-
pie are broken-hearted over the TRACE
dy which they see in the shipping Of
their young SONS by ten of thousands
to death in Cuba; but with them 1t Is
all n matter Of savage and implacable
pride to go on and send still more.
Crowds assemble everywhere along
the routes to CadiZ, and as they wit
ness the departure of the troops they
weep and groan and pray; but the pat
riotic feeling il still! % bitter that any
one who raised a public objection to
the sacrifice would be in imminent dam
ger of lynching. The same spirit still
prevails in the cortes. Probably ma
jOrity of its me nbers are entirely con-
WINGED that Gen. Weyiers task In
Cuba is a hopeless one: but the poll
tician who would say so publicly
would be knitted before he could get
home. Knowledge of this IS what re-
strained Martinez Campos from telling
the truth to the cortes, as he had an
nounced he would do, and il is what
absolutely prohibits free speech on the
subject in Spain. 1t is admitted In
private talk, though. that the rich nnd
influential class Of Cubans have finally
turned solidly against Spain, and the
gloomy impression prevails that tho
insurgents will be in Havana by New
Years. What will be done then, no
one is willing to think. Meantime. fe-
rocious efforts will be made to stamp
out the revolt in the Philippines by
using superior force at the stnrr.
even If every man on the islands who
can read and write is exterminated.-

Finance in the Sunday School.

The Sunday school needed money.
and Mr.. Smart, the superintendent.
had a new way of getting it.
He proposed giving each boy half a
crown. At the end of the month the
principal, together with what Ii
earned, was to be returned to him.
The scheme was good, but it didn't
work quite as Mr.. Smart had antici-
pated.
The fourth Sunday found the super
intendent ready to audit the profit and
loss accounts and he commenced with
Johnnie's class.
How have you done, Johnnie?"
my half crown has earned another
one" said Johnnie, with an air of one
having an option on halo.
Good" said the superintendent.
Not only is Johnnie a good boy In
helping the school. but he shows bust
ness talent. Doubling ones money in
a single month requires no common
ability. Who can tell but what we
have another budding Croesus among
us? Johnnie, you have done well.
And now, Thomas. how much has your
half crown earned?"
Lost it," said Thomas.
What! Not only failed to earn any
thing, but actually lost" said Mr..
Smart, "How was that?"

4 Cable story.

which may or may not be reliable, has
been received from an officer on board
the cable ship John Pender, now on

that the yarn is perfectly true. The

break. and the man who tells the story
standing by, looking over the stern.
With his sounding apparatus 56-
pound shot is used; attached to 1t Is

hook the shot is detached on striking

slack. After heaving in about 100
fathoms the shot apparently was still
on. as the strain Increased rapidly.
After taking in 800 fathoms of wire
the wire was seen to shoot rapidly in
different directions, and then suddenly
snapped. 1t is assumed that sub
marine monster-for the depth of the
water was SO great that fish accus-
toned to surface waters could not
stand the pressure-had taken fancy
to the sounding apparatus and had
swallowed it entire. This idea Is quito
in consonance with what is known Of
the habits Of some species OF fish. For
instance, West Indian native fisher
men. who very often fish over mOdcr-
ately shallow coral reefs at some dis
lance from the shore, will carry in
their canoes gourds, pieces Of wood Or
cOcoanut husks. The negroes care lit

where's the Farmers Profit?

A farmer of North Dakota few days
ago drove across the boundary line
into Manitoba with a load Of oats,
which he sold to a dealer in Chrystal
City for nine cents per bushel. The
custom house officer learned of 1t and
arrested him for not paying any duty.
The farmer said that he thought since
Laurier's election there was free trade
between this country and Canada.
But he had to put up ten cents bushe,
for his oats all the same.

foliaged with opportunities; but Octo-
Der came. and their glory went. Frost
ed! In early autumn the fr1sts come,
but do not seem to damage vegetation.
They are light frosts. But some morn
ing you look out OF the window and
say. There was a black frost last
night, and you know that from that
day everything will wither. So men
seem to get along without religion,
amid the annoyances and vexations OF
life that nip them slightly here and
nip them there. But after awhile death
comes. 1t is black frost, and all is
ended.
Why go to the death-bed OF distin-
gulshed men, when there is hardly
house on this street but from it
Christian has departed? When your
Daby died there were enough angels in
the room to have chanted coronation.
When your father died you sat watch
ing. and after awhile felt of his wrist,
ana then put your hand under his arm

and placed the mirror to the mouth

lng and when all was over. you

resting after a battle. Oh! there are
many Christian death beds. The char.
lots of God, come to take his children
home, are speeding every whittier.
This one halts at the gate of the aims
house; that one at the gate of princes.
The shout OF captives breaking their
chains comes on the morning air. The
heavens ring again and again with the
coronation. The twelve gates of heaven
are crowded with the ascending right
eous. l see the accumulated glories
of thousand Christian death beds
an autumnal forest illumined by an
autumnai sunset! They died not in
shame, but in triumph! AS the leaf!
AS the leaf!
Lastly: AS the leaves fade and fall
only to rise, so do we. All this golden
shower of the wo6ds is making the
ground richer, and in the juice. and
sap, and life of the tree the leaves will
come up again. Next May the south
wind will blow the resurrection trum-
pet, and they will rise. So we fall in
the dust only to rise again. The hour
is coming when all who are in their
graves shall hear his voice and come
forth" II would be horrible con-
sideration to think that our bodies
were always to lie in the ground. How
ever beautiful the flowers you plant
there, we do not want to make our
everlasting residence in such a place.
Crossing the Atlantic the ship may
founder, and our bodies be eaten by the
sharks; but God tameth leviathan, and
we shall come again. In awful explo-
sion of factory boiler our bodies may be
shattered into hundred fragments in
the air; but God watches the disaster.
and we shall come again. He will drag
the deep, and ransack the tomb, and
upturn the wilderness, and torture the
mountain, but he will find us. and fetch
us out and up to Judgment and to vic
tory. We shall come UP with perfect
eye, with perfect hand. with perfect
foot, and with perfect body. All our
weaknesses left behind.
We fall but we rise; We die, but we
live againl We moulder away, but we
come to higher unfolding! AS the leaf!
