testify the Eastern, question that has so
long disturbed the peace and quiet of
Europe is about to undergo a new solu-
ton. 1t may be final; it may be found
easier and simpler than the most optimis-
tic statesman ever dreamed. 1t may be
the experience of the long suffering pa
tent in the dentists chair who marvels
at the comparative painessness of the
cure that he has undergone untold torture
to avoid. 1t may, ON the other hand,
prove but one of the immemorial series,
with more TO follow.
That the European powers have at last
reached an agreement is now we'll under
stood The news to-day is that the Sui
tan has been notified through the Russian
ambassador, the representatives of the
other powers asserting, that his time is
up, and that failure to obey implicitly
the orders of Europe may mean the loss
OF his throne--whch means in Turkey,
his imminent assassination. To this he
REFUSAL saying that he might be the last
OF the Caliphs, but would not be a Khe-
dive. Perhaps he, who never was q
Caliph, said this; he is given to oriental
extravaganza. Perhaps it was invented
for him but it makes no difference. The
fiat has been read to him. The next step
will he the application of force.
The fact that his obedience or surren-
der will be determined by his Selling or
abstaining from touching the revenues
levied for the payment OF the Turkish
debt, now in sight indicates that the
crisis is at hand.
If 1t comes at once, there may be hard

drop in he was sizing them up. Finally
a gentleman walked in wearing a fine
sealskin coat, which he hung on the
rack, and sat down in one OF the games
with $500 worth OF checks in front of
him. He soon lost his first stake, and
then he pulled out big roll and bought
more checks as il he was ia for long
sitting.
Then the baron didn't do thing but
just walk up and take down that sealskin
coat and hold it out for the porter to help
him on with it. The porter never thought
of such swell taking anybody else's
coat, and 80 he helped him put it on.
Then he walked out as slowly as il he
owned the place, but as soon as he struck
the sidewalk he lit out for pawnshop,
where he borrowed $50 on the coat, and
IN five minutes he was sitting down right
beside the owner OF the coat with two
stacks of reds in front OF him.
"Well, it came his way and ne won
fast, playing the limit all the time, until
he had between $500 and $4,000 in front
of him. Then he cashed his checks, put
the money in his pocket and walked out.
In about five minutes more he strolled in
again wearing the coat, which he took
off with the utmost deliberation and
handed it to the porter to hang up on the
very peg from which he had taken il less
than an hour before"

Annexation OF Cuba imperative.

Mr.. Fernando A. Yznaga, in the Janu.
airy Forum: II is apparent that return
of order and prosperity to Cuba can be
secured only by annexation to the United
States. But, with the present temper of
the Spanish people, such result would
he most difficult il not i'm possible.
While the Off ,ial class in Spain recog-
nizes the fact that Cuba is only source
Of weakness to the mother country, the
patriotic pride of the people would wreak
its vengeance on any party that might
sanction the session of the island. But
could Cuba be purchased, the advantages
to this country would be enormous. A
vast field for American enterprise and
capital would be opened up. The island
would easily produce not only all the
sugar we consume but, in few years, all
the coffee. The cession OF Cuba would
also remove the large balance of trade
against us, incurred by the purchase OF
these articles; for it would open market
for at least hundred millions Of our
products.

FACTS FOR FISHERMEN
While Sensitive In Other Respects Fish
Do Not Suffer Pain From the Hook.
RAILROAD EFFECTS ON The CLIMATE
The s.Gaii', OF a smooth Gambler
wins Him Quits Europe on the
Verge OF War-An Asiatic Divis-
Ion OF Property.

New York Sun: All fishes have nerves,
and in some respects fishes are extremely
sensitive. A fish that has buried itself
in sand or mud 80 completely that only
the tip OF its tail fin is above the bottom
will feel upon the slightest touch. and
instantly dart out Of its sandy bed A
fish is very sensitive to movements in the
water surrounding it. A shadow falling
upon the water will startle fish into
flight. But sensitive as fishes are in
some respects, it is probable that they do
not suffer pain from injuries received.
Fishes are extremely sensitive at the
nose. A fish that had in pursuit Of prey
run its nose against rock might shake
its head violently, perhaps in pain, but
fishes sustain serious injuries from actual
wounds without showing any indication
OF pain. In fact, the indications tend to
show that they do not suffer.
A fish that has been hooked by an an.
gler, but has escaped, perhaps carrying
off a hook in its mouth, may a few min
utes afterward bite again at another
hook. Such instances are not infrequent.
In such cases the hook would probably
be concealed by the bait, and the fish
would not be likely to see it, but the fact
that it is ready to take the bait shows
that 1t is continuing to feed. which it
would scarcely be likely to do if it were
suffering great pain. A shark, from
whose body all the viscera had been re-
moved, has continued to feed
Sensitive as fishes are about the nose,
many OF them use the nose in pushing
stones and gravel about in building
nest for the female to spawn in. The
salmon VIGOROUSLY often wears its snout
down to the bone in excavating cavity
tor a nest, and of ten it wears off its tail to
mere stub in brushing ont stones and
gravel. Yet such fishes frequently re-
cover from their injuries and return to
the ocean.
Timid and sensitive as fishes are in
some respects, they fight one another
vigorously. In such fights they may re-
ceive injuries that might be described as
terrible. To such injuries they may pay
80 little attention that after the fight is
over they go on with their feeding or
with whatever occupation they had been
engaged in.
Injuries which would throw human
being into state OF helplessness do not
interrupt the current OF fish life. The
fish may aiterward die from its injuries,
but apparently it does not suffer pain
from them.
Fishes sometimes survive injuries Of a
remarkable character. The stomach of
captured Goldfish was foun to be
pierced by spine OF founder which it
had swallowed. The sharp, thorn-like
spine projected about half an inch be-
yond the outer wall Of the stomach into
the fsh's body. Apparently the Goldfish
had suffered no inconvenience from this.
The wound caused by the spine had heal
ed around it, and the Goldfish was fat and
in good condition generally.

How He Divided Up the Elephants.

Hsrpof's Round Table: A Chinaman
died, leaving his property by will to his
three sons as follows: "To Fuen huen,
the eldest, one-halt thereof; to Nu.pin,
his second son, one-third thereof; and to
Ding bat, his youngest, one ninth there
Of"
When the property was inyentoried, it
was found to consist OF nothing more nor
puzzled these three heirs how 10 divide
the property according to the terms of
the will without chopping ~ seventeen
elephants, and thereby seriously impair
ing their value. Finally they applied to
wise neIghbor, Suen'punk, for advice.
Suen-punk had an elephant OF bis own.
He drove it into the yard with the seven
teen, and said.
Now we will suppose that your father
left these eighteen elephants. Fuen-huen
take your halt and depart" So Fuen-
huen took the nine elephants and went
his way.
Now, Nu-pin," said the wise man,
take yolr third and go" So Nu-pin
took nine elephants and travelled.
Now. Ding. bat said the wise man.
take your ninth and BECOME" So
Ding-ba took two elephants and va
messed. Then Suen.punk took his own
elephant and drove him home again.
Query: Was the property divided ac-
eording TO the terms OF the will?

A railroad official offers scientific ex.
PLANTATION for the climatic changes this
country seems to have experienced the
past few years. Ii is common remark
in the north that the winters are shorter
and less severe than formerly, and in the
south that they are longer and more Sc
we're. Intense cold and heat have been
equslized apparently to a considerable
degree. The official mentioned disbe.
lieves that these changes are meterologi-
cal ones and explains them by the con-
struction OF railroad and telegraph lines
which, he says, conduct an immense
amount OF electricity in all directions,
thus distributing heat and cold in more
impartial quantities. The weather bu-
reau is an institution that has not taken
the railroad into it's calculations, but
perhaps it will be different hereafter.
