Now York Times: The situation
of Spain at this moment must be
very discouraging to patriotic
Spaniards. The country has been
maintaining far larger army than
it could afford for the purpose of
putting down the insurrection in
Cuba. 1t has not put down the in
surrection, but it has effectually
destroyed for some years to come
the power of the island to raise
revenue OF even to support in any
thing like their former luxury the
Spanish officials quartered upon
Cuba. If tho insurrection were
put down tomorrow Cuba w"uld
be what General Butler is said to
have described New Orleans as be-
ing at the close of his administro-
ton, Squeezed lemon"
But the chance of putting down
the insurrection is diminishing,
instead of increasing. Meanwhile,
the burden of the enormous appa-
ratus collected to crush Cuba is
crushing Spain, and at the samo
time another insurrection against
the Spanish yoke has broken out
at the other end of the world, in
the Philippine Islands, and is
ovidentlv sDrendincr and becoming
more formidable. Spain, with the
two rebellions on her hands, is at
the end of the resources which
have not sufficed to suppress one.
A now loan which has been hawked
about Europe has failed to find
takers. The Ministry now as good
as announces that its only hope
for further funds is to appeal to
the already overburdened people
of Spain.

The Wrists.

In spite of the fact that doctors
always take the pulse of a patient
from the wrist, few persons know
what important parts of the body
the wriste are and how much may
be accomplished by treatment of
them. When one has tainted,
water should be applied to the
wrists as freely as to the face and
temples. In cases of severe ill
ness doctors frequently order the
wrists to be bathed with milk and
beef tea. Athletes learn that the
wrists must be kept cool in the
summer and warm in winter. You
oil know the relief experienced
from removing a tight glove, es-
pecially when you are overheated.
The relief comes not from the
hands being uncovered, but from
the wrists bong unconfned and
kept cool. Brooklyn Eagle.

DON'T Patronize Peddlers.

lVOIl u "A SNANASACS
1t is a we'll known fact that ped
dlers do nothing to help town.
He comes and goes and gives
nothing to charity or to our
churches or other organizations.
You are swindled by them and
you have no other recourse but to
grin and bear it. They have no
place of business whore you can
90 and demand full value for your
money. Having no reputation to
sustain they can do about as they
please and it is time for the public
to give them the cold shoulder. In
stead of patronizing. these itiner-
ant merchants you should make
your purchases of home merchants,
mon who help build up the town,
mon who help support our
churches, schools and other enter
prises. They are the people
worthy of your patronage, and as
they have regulations to sustain
you are sure to receive proper
treatment. If unable to secure
your wants at home then the NOR
chants in other towns may be able
to supply you. In this day and
age when merchandise stores are
so numerous, the peddler should
be relegoted to the rear.

Worcester county, OH February %
of that year, by King Philip.
The famous Indian chieftan,
with 1,5OO braves, had carried tor
ror into the towns of that region
by his massacres and depredations.
AT the destruction of Lancaster a
few women were spared by the In
dians, among them being Mrs.
Rowlandson, the wife of tho parish
minister. The record of her wan
derings and her subsequent release
we're duly written out by her in n
book published in 1852 by Samuel
Green, in Cambridge. The volume
had unusual popularity, going
through twenty editions. Ties
carly issues are now exceedingly
rare.
Mrs. Rowlandson was captured
by Narragansett Indian and solay

married King Phillips wife's sister.
Much of the narrative is given to
the description of the wonderings I

her captor, Quinnopin, was pur-

Cuban Situation.

The actual situation in Cuba
does not seem much changed. 1t
becomes more and moro apparant
that Spain has task on hand
which she is unable to perform :
The recent engagements reported
with Maceo took place, it is said,
becarse of his attempt to cover the
land of fillibustering expedi-
ton, and to conduct tho convoy of
arms and ammunition to his
mountain fastnoss. This he is
said to have done without the loss
of mulo or gun, though tho loss
in men, both for himself and the
Spaniards, was heavy. Tho con
viction is growing that the i'm
mensity of the task before it is
beginning to make itself apparent
to the Spanish authorities.
They are beginning TO feel that
they must crush the insurrection
by one supreme effort or not at all.
But Gomez seems to be beyond
their reach, and Maceo laughs at
them in his impregnable strong
hold among the mountains of
Pinar del Rio. Meanwhile the
difficulties of Spain thicken.
What with this Cuban rebellion,
the uprising in the Philippine
Isles, tho Carlist plots, the rail
road scandals duplicating high
officials of the government and
the deep unrest and discomfort of
the nation at large, the outlook for
the proud Castilian people is dark
indeed. 1t has come in large part
because of inability to discern the
signs of the time and to adjust
measures to changed conditions.

Why Horses Are cheap.

The great amount of harm that
the bicycle, electric trolly, etc,
have done the horse and his
breeder exist chiefly in the brain
of the penny-a-liner; the actual
fact of the matter is that the
horse, being an article of com
merce cannot rise very greatly in
value until the general situation is
ameliorated. In fine, the hard
times are solely responsible for
the state of the market, and will
hold it down as long as they con
tinue; but when the turn is made
in earnest, prices will advance in
proportion 10 the improvement
made in other lines of business. =
