The Spaniard seems to be

If those sta .esmen who per
sistentiy look at the economical
side of the recognition of Cuba were
as true to our finances in other
ways, the people could consider
them more consistent.
If the senate agrees with the
house, pensioners viii no longer be
paid in person by pension agents,
but checks will be mailed to them,
the latter body having agreed to
the change without division.
-Spain's talk of war with the
United States while getting the
worse in Cuba, reminds one of the
boy who provoked quarrel with
a larger boy while a smaller one
was whipping him, that he might
touch up his defeat with the color
of superior numbers.
THAT dangerous comet which
few days ago was threatening
to butt the earth off the track, has
changed its course and there is no
further danger from that source.
However, we still nave the Demo
cratic party with us, but it is
hopelessly divided.
The people of the United
States should be able to sympa-
thize with Spain in one respect at
least. The Cuban unpleasantnes>

About the best way to est
mate the number of dollars the
country has lost through the pres
ent administration will be to count
the votes the Republicans will
gain next fall. Perhaps the ratio
of one vote to fifty dollars would
not he a bad basis for the calcula-
ton. Most men will condescend
to acknowledge mistake in con-
sideration of a loss that size.

enough the aversion that the majority.

In a case which excited considerable
comment in this city recently, says the
New York Tribune. 1t was Of young
woman who had always had most I'M
conquerable dread of the feline crea-
lures, and she actually could not en-
dure the presence Of one m the room
without losing control Of herself COM
pletely. She was so sensitive In this
particular that her family declares that
upon entering room, if there was q
cat concealed anywhere within 1t, she
would at once detect its presence, and
unless it were removed at once would
become hysterical. In fact, 1t was q
standing joke on her that on one occa-
sion like this she became absolutely
terrified, and rushing up to a young
man, who was total stranger to her,
seized him about the neck, sobbing des7
perately till the cat was taken away.
The girl was thoroughly ashamed OF
her weakness, as she called It, but de-
clared she was absolutely powerless In
the matter. Some instinct-it was no
subtle odor-told her II q cat were any
where near her, and the moment she
detected it she straightway lost oil her
self-possession.

Some Reasons Why the Hair Of the Sum-

Some Reasons Why the Hair Of the Sum-
mer Hotel Proprietor Turns Gray.
These are the days when the big sum-
mer hotels at sesshore and mountain
begin to cut down expenses IN view Of
the near close of the season. And there
BY hangs tale, for the cutting down
process is not unattended by trials and
worry, says the New York Herald.
OF course the most expensive thing Is
the help. Most great hotels require al
most as many servants rs they have
guests, and when the guests tegin to
20 home by scores the servants have 10
be discharged by scores or away 20 the
profits Of the season.
But servants are clannish, and there
comes in the difficulty. They are only
engaged for q season Of indefinite
length, and know that they must 20 at
its end. But many object TO going
while their friends remain, and 1t often
happens that the lucky ones who arc
retained refuse to stay out the remain
ing weeks or days II their friends are
discharged.
So no end Of trouble arises, and the
wretched proprietor acquires gray hairs
In Strengthening out the diflculties
Recently the proprietor Of one Of the
biggest Of our nearby seaside hotels,
having lost all but about forty guests,
undertook TO reduce the kitchen staff
proportionately.
There was immediate war, and even
the French chef got red In the face and
declared that II he couldn't have his
all-summer force he would pack up and
get out forthwith. The proprietor
couldn't yield and retain his profits, and
the chief and his assistants were OBJ
stinste.
So all that was left for the proprietor
was to throw out the entire force, bag
and baggage, and hustle up 10 the city
and engage an entirely new force for
the remaining two weeks Of his season

There is one curious fact respecting
the animal creation with which you
will never become acquainted if you de-
pend on your text books for informs-
ton. 1t is this; No living representa-
tive Of the animal kingdom has more
than five toes, digits or claws to each
foot, hand or limb. The horse is the
type of one-toed creation, the camel Of
the two-toed, the rhinoceros of the
three-toed and the hippopotamus Of

Long lake Is one Of the best feeding
grounds for deer In the Adirondack,
growing as It does kind Of spice weed
and cranberry, Of which the deer Is
very fond. The process involved In
hunting deer, says an eastern ex-
change, Is very curious and interesting;
in the guides own words, lone must
know the natur' Of the animal to sue
ceed." 1t Is the custom Of this animal
to browse on its way down to the water
at night for drink, and the slight crash
made IN coming through the brush be-
trays them TO the guide, who, with his
companion seated in boat, Is slowly
and noiselessly padding close to shore,
and nearer and nearer to the locality
from whence the sound comes. Al.
though there are many other noises
abroad on the night air none can mis-
take this particular one. The guide
holds his breath or emits 1t In quick
gasps. Absolute silence on the part OF
the inmates Of the boat prevails,
The night wind blows softly. Tho
stars are reflected in the still water.
The air is heavy with the fragrance
from woods, flowers and trees. The
boat drifts or Is propelled so gently
that It is calculated to deceive ones
own senses as to whether, after all, it
is not all a dream. The occasional
sound of the paddle sounds like the
ripple Of water or the tapping Of the
waves against the shore, when sudden.
" another and unmistakable crash Is
heard Closest hand. The cap is off the
jack lantern, instantly a search-light
is thrown over the lake and adjacent
wooded shore. Two bright eyes are
seen, terrified whistling is heard, and
the deer starts to run, but 1t is too latei
whiz and bang and a fine four-year'
old buck falls to the ground. The
tense straining Of every muscle and
nerve is relieved and followed by the
widest excitement and commotfon a.
