CUBA AND THE PRESIDENT.

san Jose Herald: The Inaugural IS re-
markable for what it does not say about
the Cuban question. That is considered
to be a somewhat important matter
but the President lodges it entirely. The
only reference that can be tortured into
connection with the subject is that in
which ne announces that he will insist
upon guarding the rights of American
citizens everywhere, but that we want
no war of conquest. no territorial ag-
gression. If the Cubans can find any
consolation in that they must draw
largely on their hopes and imaginations

Use and Abuse of Money.

Thern are many fellows at college who have money and use 1t well, but the mere fact that a man has cash in his pocket does not get him on to ath- letic teams, or into college clubs or so- cieties, or at the head of his class. It helps him on if he's good chap. It holds him back if he isn't. Then by and by, when you get through college, you will find it just the same in businesses of all kinds. Money seems to help a good man along and seems to be the worst enemy of bad man. So that to think only of money first, and then of doing fine things with it after it is gained, is putting the cart before the horse. And, if you want to be in the senate, it's the wrong way to go at 1t to go down to South America and work in a gold mine for 20 years simply and solely to ''raise the cash' for the pur- pose of buying the votes of a state, even if such a procedure were moral and right, which is unquestionably not the case. l.~
 Rather make up your mind what you want to do and then try to make a financial success of it as well as all oth- CT kinds of successes. If it is the hide and leather business, try to make money each year, but try also to make money fairly, to learn the trade thoroughly and to keep pace with the literature, the politics, the life of your own day. If it is the ministry or law or itera- ture, try to make both ends meet each year, and to make money just the same, but don't forget that all these branches of work require something besides cash to make them successes. In certain way it is just as wrong to try to believe that money is an evil as it is to let your self believe that money is the only thing worth having. It is a great and good thing when you have learned how to use it and mighty poor thing when it is abused. Decide, therefore, on what work you will set out, without regard to money, and then try to make f1nan' | cial as we'll as an intellectual success o1 it.-Harper's Round Table.

e Eirefiy Lantern Clubs.

Genius has given fashionable folks new plaything with which to amuse themselves. It is in literal obedience to the Biblical injunction regarding lamp unto the feet, for that is exactly where the new light is to be worn. It consists of tiny lantern with sides of very stout glass, mounted upon a stirrup which straddles the foot of the user, a tongue resting on the toe of the foot and acting as part of the support.
 This queer idea has taken strong hold upon the minds of the smart set, and as a result has sprung into instant favor. It is particularly valuable to persons who are given to walking about in places where roads and sidewalks are not well kept, for in such cases there are always holes of various dimensions and in unexpected places, in which the pedestrian is sure to trip up if he Is not exceedingly careful.
 There are several means of furnishing light for this curious lamp. Electricity and oil are the most common. The former is likely to be the most popular method from the fact that there is no danger of grease leaking out upon the shoe A tiny storage battery has been constructed to be used ill furnishing the light It is ordinarily carried in the pocket, and flexible wire, insulated and covered with chamois skin, passes from the battery and through the pocket down to the lamp upon the foot. In this way bright light is secured, the little battery furnishing sufficient electricity for a walk of half dozen hours.
 It is also 8 great convenience in horse back riding by night, for the jolting will not affect the lamp of the battery An equestrian parade has been planned, to be given before long at one of the winter resorts near New York, in which every participant will have a lamp att tached to each foot. The projectors of this parade believe that an effect will be produced such as has never been wit messed before.
 It is very odd sight to see lantern club tramping about the country roads on dark evening with a lamp on t..:o foot of each member. They look like a company of giant firefies, and the effect on the eye is weird in the extreme. All sorts of curious combinations of color can be made by varying the color of the glass. Exchange.

Dnpin and the Epigram.

Dupin's belief in the omnipotence of epigram as a moral veneer for political as well as other immortality was to a great extent justified by his thorough knowledge of and his supreme contempt for the majority of his countrymen, and especially for those actively engaged in politics He knew that in France one we'll delivered epigram is sufficient to start a man on prosperous career, suf- ficient to hurl the man at whom it is leveled from the pedestal he has climbed with infinite trouble and perseverance,
 And, seeing that he had not his equal ill the facility for coining them, not even ill Talleyrand, that his peer in that respect, Rivarol, had been in his grave since the beginning of the century, Du- pin had never been very sparing of them. From that moment, however, he began to SOW them broadcast, taking care not to hide his light under a bushel,
 for modesty was not Dupin's besetting sin. Rather than plead and not be re- ported he refused to plead at all, which, in fact, he did when asked to defend Beranger third time. Of course he did not say so in as many words, but no one was his dupe, because every one was aware that, as an exceptional measure, the government intended to exclude re- porters from the trial.

Much Ado About-Nothin

A certain prince of Orange was gen. eralissimo of the Austrians at the end of the last century. He fought against the French in Italy, died, and was buried at Padua (1799). For four years the Dutch government has been in treaty for the prinoe's remains, and after an endless amount of diplomatic negotia- tions and correspondence matters were arranged, Dutch man-ofwar arrived in Venice, and, after another three weeks delay, surmounting the last diff faculties raised by the church and red tape of the Italian government last Thursday was the day fixed for opening the tomb and conveying the remains to Venice, to be transported by the man-of war, and ultimately deposited in the family vault at Delft.
 It was most impressive ceremony. A representative of the queen of Hol- land came expressly. Admirals, gener- als. officials galore, special trains, fu- neral car, troops lining the way, minute guns and flags half mast high, and then the tomb was opened and contained anthing London Truth.

GrindstOne Isursts.

Thomas Benham, aged 34, was almost instantly killed Saturday morning at the Winsted Manufacturing Co.'S works by the bursting of a grindstone, on which he was grinding scythes. Ben- ham, not being able to get rule to measure the stone, had substituted an eight-inch pulley for 12-ineh, thus greatly increasing the speed of the stone. After grinding several scytheF, the stone burst with loud report ar d one of the pieces struck Benham in the head, knocking out both his eyes and mangling his face beyond recognition
 The foreman had warned Benham of the danger of increasing the speed of the stone. The deceased was unmarried.

Hotels.

American hotels are so taken up with the desire to dazzle us that they some times make us uncomfortable. It is very fine and impressive to have one's card handled by two men and big boy and then little boy when calling upon friends at a great hotel, but it is fla tiguing nevertheless to wait 80 minutes and then have the little boy come down and tell you they are not at home. Though most of us cannot abide some of the nuisances of the foreign system, such as being charged extra for soap and service, yet many travelling Americans. who are sufficiently unpatriotic, say that our big, glittering. hotels are not quite up to the standafd of the best ones on the other side in the small de- tails of making one peacefully and rest fully happy. The innkeeper's instinct for knowing exactly what is wanted without being told is more highly de- veloped over there. They have been at it for so many more generations.

Bridgeport, Ct which during the past few months has experienced some f. nsncial difficulties, will soon be releas- ed from it's pre- sent obligations and re- sume business under the old manage ment.

SPIRITUAL LIFE.

Work touches the keys of endless
activities, opens the infinite and
stands awestruck before the immensi-
ty of what there is to do.
The true strength of every human
soul is to be dependent on as many
nobler as it can discern, and to be de-
pended upon by as many inferior as
it can reach.
If ever feel like envying any one
it is not the world famous author, but
some serene, devout soul WHO has
made the life of Christ his own and
whose will is the divine will.
Nothing is SO narrowing, contract
ing, hardening, as always to be NOV
ing in the same groove, with no
thought beyond what we immediate
ly see and hear close around.
The best men in all churches are
owning the sacredness of trying to
make the present world better; and
they are coming to see that it is not
by their creeds that this is going to
be done, but by their deeds.
In proportion as man gets back the
spirit of manliness, which is self
sacrifice, affection, loyalty to an idea
beyond himself, God above himself,
so far will he rise above circumstance
es, and WELD them at his will.
A song in the heart is better than a
grand piano in the gilded parlor Real
riches cannot be counted out in coin.
We are rich in what we are. People
are troubled because they live in back
streets, but the alley is as near
heaven as the avenue.
