CUBA's CHILDREN.
The Eirse Reader Used In the Republis'
Schools.

The Ysrss Reader Used In the Republis'a
Schools.
There has just come TO hand the first
Cuban national schoolbook, q little
"1irst reader" in pamphlet form, COW
cred with yellow paper and turned and
doubled by the tiny scholar, who stuck
1t in his pocket during recess while he
played at being Maceo and brandisbed

The title page of the primer would
be a red rag to General lieyler could
he lay eyes on it. Here it is, literally
translated:

LIBERTY.
A translation of a sample page makes
it apparent that the children are swal-
lowing patriotism in large doses:
Come to the en-camp-ment and see
the soldiers. There is the advance
guard. Look at the sergeant There is
the sentinel. He will fire the first shot
upon the enemy. Peter is mounting
guard.
Look at the cavalry. 1t is Gu
ban regiment. There goes the gen-er-
ais body guard. The supplies and the
-ped-i-men-ta march in the center.
The rear guard follows. The flag of
Cuba is blue, white and red.
"The people are going toward the
coast. An expedition has arrived, and
they all go to help unload the vessel.
The Cubans send many arms from
abroad. From Key West they sent big
cannon. Hurrah for free Cuba!'
This is one way u nation can prove it
is respectable: Cuba may throw bricks
at her landlord, but she is taking very
good care of her children. n.-Philadel

ere now good friends. Until few
months ago they we've at swords points.
They used to hate each other with o
cordial hatred. President Cleveland
cursed Speaker Reed for his course with
reference to the bond bill in the last
congress, and a year ago, when the pres
ident, by special message, asked con-
gress to sit through the holidays to con-
slider financial legislation, Speaker Reed
cursed him as an old trickster. But last
spring the two big men were brought
together. They had a joke or two and
then tacitly dropped their old animosity
