CLEVER SHORT STORIES.

BOBBO, AND OTHER FANCIES-By Thomas
Wharton New York: Harper IL Brothers.
For sale IN this City by a. NJ Robertson, Post
street. Price 81 so
These snort sketches have seen the light in
leading periodicals, but they thoroughly de-
serve reprinting in book form and 10 hold
favored place on the shelves OF Libraries OF
choice collections of fiction. The story OF
'Bobbo," which is the best Wharton wrote,
was published shortly before his death, and
that occurred just as his talents became rec
ognized By the publishers. "Bobbo" is a
dream of the clerk OF magistrates court in
Paris and describes how troupe OF actors and
actresses are up before the court to explain
their quarrel of the night efore. The at
tempt TO make matters plain leads to some
superb acting before the judge. "Bobbo" is
an exqusitely beautiful fancy, and every one
who reads il will wish the author had lived
to give us more creations of the same sparkle
and originality.

ladies' Home Journal.

In spirit and sentiment the July Ladies'
Home Journal is in accord with that OF our
National blrth-montb. An article on "The
Greatest Nation on Earth" By William George
Jordan, pictures the yastness OF the United
States, and by simple comparisons and
telling illustrations contrasts every phase
of our greatness with that OF other
nations. Allied in patriotic sentiment
is Clifford Howards article, ''When Dolly
Madison Saved the Declaration of Inde-
pendence." This tells the story OF the hero
ism of President Madison's wife, who saved
the most precious document in America from
falling into the hands of the British when
Washington was in flames. 1.-THE Women's s

and sold its first amps for letter postage.

AN APPEAL.

THE REAL CONDITION OF CUBA TODAY
BY stephen / onsal. New York: Harper Il
Bros. For sale in this City by A. NJ Robertson,
Post street. Price 90 cents.
The author of this book was the special cor
respondent of the New York Herald in Cuba.
and writes from the standpoint OF an eye
witness. He publishes this book in response
to the appeal of the suffering people of the
island to make their wretched condition
known TO the people OF the United States.
The writer believes firmly that the policy of
Spain is one of deliberate exterminatioE.
Perhaps the condition of the paeiicos who
are by wholesale becoming victims of disease
and starvation, pleads the most strongly ior
our sympathy.

SNAKE POISON IN THE AIR.
Is the OdOr of the Rather Accom-
panied by a Dangerous Dustf


Louis b. Bailey, of San Mateo, Fla,
shot a rattlesnake a short time ago
and cut its ratties off. Soon after
ward his face and hands became in
famed, aud he showed some of the
symptoms of ivy poisoning. Later the
swelling went down and was forgotten.
Bailey shot another rattlesnake dead
and, as before, cut the tail off. His
left eye swelled until it closed, and
his hands and wrists itched and
swelled.
Forest and Stream says that some
persons believe that, in addition to
ejecting venom through its fangs, rat
tlesnakes have the power to throw off
poisonous dust. Some persons are
able even to smell snake some dis
lance away.
Rattlesnakes sometimes enter the
tents of western hunters and campers,
crawl upon the sleeping men under the
aroused by the scent, when they COM
monty run. Men have become par
alyzed under such circumstances.
Their comrades have discovered what
was wrong by the smell, and the BLUSH
white of their comrades faces. There
has been many a case in which, divin-
ing the situation, mans friends have
gently lifted the blanket and shot the
snake across the mans breast. After
that there is always one man who is
sure to see that the horsehair rope,
over which snakes cannot crawl, be-
cause of the little points of hair, is
properly laid to keep snakes-particu'
larly rattlesnakes-out of the tent.

diers to Young Wives.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-The pension
roll is now larger than ever before.
Commissioners of Pensions Evans said
yesterday:
think there will now be gradual railing
of in the number of pensioners Last year
81 $50 pensioners died, in addition to which
.O74 widows lost their pensions by remarriage;
1915 minors receiving pensions lost them by
arriving at the age OF limitation; 2 6S3 by fall
ure to claim them and 3, SO from other causes,
making q grand total in the reduction OF PEN
sions Of A. 49, think congress should take
prompt action in preventing multiplication OF
pensions through the marriage OF old soldiers
We have on the rolls the widows OF seven
revolutionary soldiers. A case was discovered
in which an aged soldier was propped up in
bed to be married to young girl After the
ceremony had been performed he dropped back
and died. In that case the pension was not
paid But good many people think that the
prospective pension as n widow Of a soldier Is
enough to cause many young girls to marry
aged men for whom they care nothing except
to have a pension for the balance Of their lives.
1t seems to me that the practice Is q bad one,
and hope congress will take this matter in
hand and pass legislation to prevent pension
from being given TO widows OF soldiers OF the
last war who marry the soldiers in the future

Exports to That Progressive Country Show
n Remarkable Increase.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2L-A statement
prepared by the treasury department
shows that for the first time in the
history of trade relations with Japan
the United States is entitled to be con-
sdered as n serious competitor with
Europe. A recent British report from
the legation at Toxic reviews the for
eign trade of Japan during the
past year. In the supply of ma
chinery, rails, nails and pig iron, the
United States assumed leading place.
Our own officials statistics sustain the
report of the British representative,
the treasury department statistics
showing there has been great in
crease in our exports to Japan, which
have risen from S3,2ss, 2S2 in 1892, a
year of large general exports, to $751;
2S3,970 for the fiscal year just closed.
The increase over the fiscal year 1896
is about SIS, 800, 900.
