in the manner OF acting on the Gu
ban resolutions, and suggested de-
lay, but so far it has not influenced
any OF the members OF the commit
tee. The reply has been that the
best way is to have the crisis, If it is
to come, over with as quicaly as
possible.
Members of the committee are
reticent as to what Secretary Olney
said, but it is certain he advised
against any action like that con-
templated, as it would involve war
with Spain. :
One member of the committee
said "Of course Spain will fight.
But there is no danger OF other
countries getting in our way. No
other European nation wants to
fight us, and we would wind up a
war with Spain in short order"
The opinion was expressed that
Cleveland would veto joint resolu-
ton.
1t is understood the main point
raised by the Secretary was that
covered in the Presidents message,
viz: There is no actual government
in Cuba TO recognize.
Another member OF the commit
tee said he believed in case the
President should veto the resolution
it would pass over his veto, as more
than two, thirds of both the Senate
and House favored it.
Senator Cameron's report to &C.
company the resolution deals at
length with presidents in the mat
ter of recognition OF independence
and intervention beginning with the
Greek revolution and coming down
to the present time. The Senstors
who heard the report cay it goes
over the entire ground.

News from Cook Inlet.

A letter just received from Cook
Inlet states that the season has not
yet opened. The miners who win
tered on the inlet came through in
good shape, but suffered consider
able privation on account OF not
having any Rainier Beer on hand,
consequently they could not enjoy
this sparkling and invigorating
beverage. That is one of the draw

A nervous young minister was filling
the pulpit for country charge that was
without regular pastor. A part of his
experience is touchingly related by the
local paper. The very pious old lady at
whose house he staid, in showing him
his room, said.
1t amt everybody I'd put in this
room. This here room is full Of sacred
associations to me, she went on. "My
first husband died in that bed, with his
head on three pillows, and poor Mr..
jerks died sittin in that corner. Some
times when come into the room in the
dark think l see him sittin there
still. My own father died lyin right on
that lounge right under the window
there. Poor pa, he was spiritualist,
and he allus said he'd appear in this
room after he died, and sometimes am
foolish enough to look for him If you
should see anything of him tonight,
you'd better not tell ne. It'd be sign
to NE that there WAS somethin in spir-
itualism, and I'd hate to think that. Ny
son by my first man fell dead of heart
disease right where you stand. He was
a doctor, and there's two whole skele-
tons in that closet there belongin to
him, and half a dozen skulls in that
lower drawer. If you are up early and
want somethin to amuse yourself before
breakfast, just open that cupboard there,
and you will find lot of dead mems
bones. My poor boy thought lot of
them. Well, good night, and pleasant
dreamsl" - Pittsburg Chronicle Tele.

Wanted a Clock and a rimepiece

l want something handsome i'll the
way of clock, he said to the jeweler.
1--WE have a very fine line Of goods, y
was the response, ''and the prices are
very moderate. .
II don't care anything about the
price. want something that will show
at glance that it cost a whole lot OF
money.
Certainly. We have some beautiful
imported goods. .
That's the idea-something that
came from abroad. Iwant an onyx ped
estal and ormolu trimmings and O
statue on the top of it.
"Here's veritable work of art. -
"That's pretty well, but I'd like
something more attractive than that.
It's to be birthday present to my wife.
We haven't been keeping house very
long, and she's been worried for fear
people would think we were going with
out a clock because we couldn't afford
one. I'm going to see that she has
something so handsome that it'll dazzle
everybody who comes into the parlor
and so precious that 1t has to be kept
under glass like specimen in the mu
scum. ~
How is this one?" the jeweler in
quired as he lifted massively ornate
article from shelf.
"That's the very thing. That'll please
her almost to death. Pack it up and ship
it out to my house and send the bill to
my Office. I"
''It'll cost s1s5, +" the jeweler mildly
suggested.
That's all right 1t looks as if it
were worth it. -
He started for the door, but came
back and said, "By the way, you'd bet
ter give me another clock-one of those
small nickel plated affairs that cost
about 81 so, SO that we can stick it off
in an obscure corner to look at when
we want to know what time it is. -

Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, during
the Winter season, so many varied attrac'.
ions as the State of Florida. Besides its
delightful climate, which to one escaping
from the cold and unhealthful changes oil
the North seems almost ethereal it is pre-
eminently land of sports and pleasure.
Along its eleven hundred miles of salt.
water coast and in its twelve hundred
fresh-water lakes are fish of almost every
conceivable variety, from the migratory
tribes common to Nothern waters to the
tarpon, pompano, and others of a more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our
broad land can the angler find a greater
variety of game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
fines safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, pan
theirs, and wild aats roam at large through
the more spaIsely settled regions, while
birds of all kinds may be found in abund-
ance throughout the State. The more
novel sport of alligator and manatee hunt
ing may also be INDUCED in by the more
adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, it's rivers and lakes, its boating
and bathing, its fishing and hunting, and
its extensive forest, Florida presents I'M
rivaled attractions for the yaletudinarian,
sno ioNer Vi nature, the sportsman, anu
the explorer.
To this attractive State the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad Company has arranged
four personally conducted tours during the
season of 1897, leaving by special train
January 26, February 8 and %, and March
9. The first three tours Will admit of a
sojourn of two weeks in this delightful
land tickets for the fourth tour will be
valid to return until May 81 by regular
trains.
Rates for the round trip, $50 90 from
New York, $48 90 from Philadelphia, and
proportionate rates from other points.

The Man and the Snake.

The reputed fascination of the SER
pent's eye is the motive of a story in
Mr.. Ambrose Bierce's volume of tales
entitled In the Midst of Life" Mr..
Brayton was the guest of friend, an
eminent zoologist, whose specially, of
which he had a fine collection, was
snakes. Stretched upon a sofa in his
own room, Mr.. Brayton glanced from
the book he was carelessly scanning
while awaiting the summons to dinner
and saw in the shadow under his bed
two small points of light about an inch
apart He gave them no special thought
and resumed his reading
In few minutes he gave an involun-
tary start and stared into the obscurity
under the bed. His gaze disclosed the
coils of large serpent The points of
light were its eyes, but they were no
longer merely luminous points; they
looked into his own with malign sig
nifcance. Brayton was brave man,
but this seemed an occasion when dis
erection was the better part of valor He
would beat retreat, and backward, so
as not to disturb the reptile, but instead
of the movement his will had shaped
his right foot was placed in advance of
his left
The snake did not move, but its eyes
seemed TO become larger and more lumi-
nous. There were strange noises in
Brayton's ears as, with reluctant steps,
he could not refrain from drawing near
er the bed. Suddenly something struck
him hard blow upon the face. He had
fallen to the floor.
The zoologist, startled by terrific
scream from above, rushed to his
friend'sroom. There lay Brayton, sense
less As he bent over him he glanced
under the bed.
''How did this thing get here?" he
exclaimed, and pulling out the snake he
flung it to the center of the room, where
it lay without motion.
1t was stuffed snake. Its eyes were
two shoe buttons

The MOOD.

Witch hazel, dogwood and the maple here,
And there the oak and hickory,
Linn, poplar and the beech tree far and near
As the eased eye can see.
Wild ginger, wahoo, with its roam balloon,
And brakes of briers Of twilight green,
And fox grapes plumed with summer, and
strung moons
OF mandrake flower between.
Deep gold green ferns and MOSES red and
gray
Mats for what naked myths white feet
And cool and calm a cascade far away,
With ever falling beat
Old logs made sweet with death, rough bits Of
bark,
And tangled twig and knotted root,
And sunshine splashes, and great pools Of dark,
And many wild birds flute.
Here let me sit until the Indian dusk
With copper colored feet comes down,
Sowing the wildwood with star fire and musk
And shadows blue and brown.
Then side by side with some magician dream
To take the owlet haunted lane,
Half rooted with vines, led by FREELY CLEAN
That brings me home again.

An Irrigatinr Experiment..

Country Gentleman calls attention to
the test of Connecticut farmer of the
value of irrigation on sandy soil. By
the aid of rams water is elevated from
a valley brook to reservoir at the top of
the hill From here it is distributed to
leading points on the farm in az inch
pipes, and from these old discarded fire
hose is used to distribute the water over
the fields. Wooden troughs in 10 foot
sections feed into each other and are
easily moved about the fields. These are
set at proper grades wherever wanted
and the water turned into them through
the hose. By a series Of little gates
along the troughs water is allowed to
run down to rows of melons, strawber-
ries or asparagus, the flow being regu-
lated SO as to run freely. but without
washing. This year, wishing to carry
over some old strawberry beds for fruit
ing another season, Mr.. Eddy cleared
the rows, narrowed them to s or 10
inches and turned on the water. The
beds took on new, strong growth and
are as nearly perfect as can be. Then, to
extend the plantations, runners from
new beds, as new plants developed. were
taken up with little or no root and
thickly lined out in rows foot apart,
the water put trickling down the rows
SO as to keep them moist all the time,
and the little runners went at once to
work making strong, new plants with
abundance of fibrous roots. Celery, cab
bage and other crops are treated in like
manner.

EVEN WITH THE DUN"
A Spectator Squares Himself With Hi
Lawyer Creditor.

A Spectator Squares Himself With His
Lawyer Creditor.
The lawyer had won an important
case for the man. He had dabbled in
stocks of one kind and another, and,
hard luck having overtaken him, he had
bolstered up his vanishing fortunes with
$50, 900 Of other peoples money.
But the other people had troubles OF
their own. They had wants that needed
catering to, and when they found that
the dealer in stocks had invested their
means of subsistence in an enterprise
that would benefit no one but himself
they arose with howl of righteous in
dignation and brought suit for dam
ages
That was where the lawyer had his
chance. He knew the man was guilty,
and he told him SO. But for all that he
cleared him. He charged pretty big
fee, So, 900 being conservative estimate
of the value of his services. The man
paid him 50, 500 in cash and promised
to give him the other $500 month OF
two later That was more than three
years ago. The lawyer patiently waited
on his client for year, and then he put
the matter in the hands of a collector.
In the course of two years the collector
gathered in $500, and then, as his salary
was more than eating up the amount
collected, the lawyer took the case from
his hands and gave it to the Office boy.
As an incentive to energetic work, he
said:
Jimmie, there is 500 coming to me
from Mr.. -. If you can get anything
out of him, I'll give you half of it.
Jimmie's eyes snapped, and he went
to work He labored diligently for three
months. Monday morning at II O'Clock
he would go into the Office and present
his employers claim, and so run the
gamut of the other five working days,
and then repeat the procedure the sue
ceeding week. The man got mad about
it at first and threatened to throw the
boy out of the Office, but he finally
thought better of it and contented him
self with turning Jimmie away with
some singing rebuke.
Jimmie kept up the daily siege till
last Thursday. Then he was sick and
could not come down town. About 2
O'Clock the lawyer was in his private
office holding consultation with two
clients, when there came an imperative
rata ta-tat on his door. He babe the
visitor enter, and head, half concealed
by shock Of bushy red hair, was thrust
nto the room.
"Please, sir, said high keyed voice,
''I'm from Mr.. -, an he wants to
know why your boy amt been over to-
day to dun i'm for that 500 ne owes
you. Chicago Tribune

A CHEAP GREENHOUSE.

How to Build Small One to Be Heated
by Flue.
A contributor to American Gardening
was asked how to build small hothouse
for raising tomato plants, a house to be
heated by fiue Here is his reply:
In order to grow from 10, 900 to 10,
600 tomato plants for spring planting
it will require, where they are inches
apart, house 10 by 100 feet. If grown
in inch pots, allowing room for the
plants to spread, the house will have to
be 10 by 800 feet, or two houses 10 by
100 feet. The former house would have
two beds feet 6 inches wide running
the entire length, allowing 2 feet for
the walk. The 10 foot houses can be di-
vided as follows: The two outside beds,
each feet inches wide and the center
beds each 4 feet wide. This leaves
feet for the three walks, which can be
divided to suit the grower Herewith
Is shown a section of a greenhouse 10
feet wide, feet high on the sides, 2
feet inches of which is of wood, and
the balance is glass up to the plate,
which is of wood. It is better to have
the upper part Of the sides Of glass, be-
cause the plants will do better than
where they are Of wood. The height to
the ridge is feet.
There is no need for heavy rafters,
but the roof can be made of strong sash
bars and joined together at the ridge
