Beet Sugar Output.

Few associations of producers are
so successful in their management and
give such general approval to the acts
of their officers as the Chino Beet
Growers Union, says the Chino Cham
pion. 1t was organized last winter for
the purpose of uniting the interests of
all the beet farmers ON the Chino ranch
and securing the best possible admin
istration of the farmres' mutual BUSH
ness interests. Very soon after its
organization, by good policy, it secured
from the Chino Valley Beet Sugar
Company more satisfactory contract
than that which had been offered to a
previous ill-advised committee.
The report of the secretary and
treasurer, is as follows:

CUBA'S WAR.

The insurrection in Cuba still con-
tinues with all its perplexities. 1t is
difficult to perceive that any progress
has thus far been made towards the
pacification of the island or that the
situation of affairs as depicted in my
last annual message has in the least
improved. If Spain still holds Havana
and the seaports and all the considera-
BILE towns, the insurgents still roam at
will over at least two-thirds of the
island country. If the determination of
Spain to put down the insurrection
seems but to strengthen with the lapse
OF time, and is evinced by her unhesi-
tating devotion of largely increased
military and naval forces to the task,
there is much reason to believe that
the insurgents have gained in point of
numbers and character and resources,
aud are none the less inflexible in their
resolve not to succumb without prao-
tically securing the great object for
which they took up arms. If Spain
has not yet re-established her author
ity. neither have the insurgents yet
made good their title to be regarded
as an independent sCate. Indeed, as
the contest has gone ON the pretense
that civil government exists ON the
island, except so far as Spain is able to
maintain it, has been practically ADAM
doned. Spain does keep ON foot such
government, more or less imperfectly,
in the large towns and their immediate
suburbs. But, that exception being
made, the entire country is either
given over to anarchy or is subject to
the military occupation of one or the
other party. 1t is reported, indeed. on
reliable authority, that at the demand
of the COMMUNICATIVE chief of the insur-
gent army the putative Cuban Govern.
ment has now given up all attempt to
exercise its functions, leaving that
Government confessedly (what there is
the best reason for supposing it always
to have been in fact) Government
merely ON paper. Were the Spanish
armies able to meet their antagonists
in the open or in pitched battle,
prompt and decisive result might be
looked for and the immense superior
ity of. the Spanish forces in numbers.
discipline and equipment could hardly
fail to tell greatly to their advantage.
But they are called upon to face a
foe that shuns general engagements,
that can and does choose its own
ground, that from the nature of the
country is visible or invisible az pleas
ure, and that fights only from ambus-
cade and when all the advantages of
position and numbers are on its side.
In country where all that is indispen-
sable to life in the way of food, cloth
ing and shelter is so easily obtainable,
by those born and bred on
the soil. 1T is obvious that there is
hardly limit to the time during which
hostilities of this sort may be pro-
longed. Meanwhile, in all cases of
protracted civil strife, the passions
Of the combatants grow more and more
infiamed and excuses ON both sides
become more frequent and more deplor-
able.
They are also participated in by
bands of marauders, who, now in the
iame of one party and now, in the
lame of the other, as may best suit

The day Of butfonholes is apparent

become one of the lost arts. Time

accomplishment in which every wo-
man should be proficient. Its gradual
extinction is. however. entirely natur-

the absence Of the buttonhole. Not

Woman is a creature OF fads.

fact remains that what is craze with

there Is always the possibility Of the

Fishes That Shoot Insects.

The jaculator fish, which is found in
the lakes of Java, uses its mouth as a
squirtgun and is good marksman. If
stake or pole is put III the water with
the end projecting three feet above the
surface and a beetle or fly is placed on
the top of the pole, the water will soon
be swarming with fnny gunners. Pres
emily one comes to the surface, observes
it's prey and measures it's distance Then
it screws its mouth into very funny
shape, discharges stream of fluid and
knocks the fly or beetle into the water,
where it is Instantly devoured by the
successful shooter or some of its hungry
companions. -Philadelphia Press.
