There is no column in u newspaper
that is so attractive and ins tructivc us
that de. Oted to questions and answers.
Indeed, If any whole page were set
apart to this mode Of diiluSinr knOwl
edge, it would all be read.
There arc books enough, OF course,
but the masses OF the people have not
got them and can not buy them. Cy-
clOpedias are expensive, but almost
every successful newspaper is well
equipped with such works and can
readily refer to them and answer the
questions correctly.

What shall we do:' responded.
DO anything that will put stop to
the outrages; do anything that we ought

THAT it would see the flag of free Cuba
