KING OSCAR OF SWEDEN.

administer the government of two ma
tions which had been artificially put
together in harness, and whose aims
and temper are as far apart as the poles.
he had to contend against such political
foes as Ibsen and Biornsen. The latter
| once actually challenged the king to
mortal combat. He had to handle three
houses of parliament-two in Sweden,
one in Norway. There has hardly been
day in his reign when he did not need
to remind himself of his own apothegm
"A king must ever know how to sub
ordinate all the inclinations of his char
arter, however legitimate, to the cX-
igencies of political policy"
Whenever he could, Oscar has sought
relief from the cares of public business
in his country house, in the sound of
Helsingborg. There, with his wife, the
beautiful and gifted Sophia of Nassau,
and their four stalwart boys, he has led
the life of a studious country gentle
man, working out problems in arctic
navigation and writing verses on pas
toral themes. There they sit at an
open window, breathing the strong air
OF the north, inhaling the summer
breezes and letting the sea vapor fan
their brows. An awning covers YER
anda, bordered with flowers bathed in
sunshine, from which a long stretch
of sea rolls under their eyes. Here the
king tells his family the old, strange
sagas of Sweden's past, and carries
them back to the days of Wodin and the
Mortimer. He has well-chosen Ii
brary, full of his favorite authors. Here
he loves to talk poetry and science and
legend with guest.
A brother of Oscar, Eugene, is study
ing to be painter, and proposes to es-
tablish a studio in Paris. His aunt, the |
kings sister, Eugenie, is the Lady
Bountiful of Sweden; when she failed |
in obtaining from the rigstad an APP
for a workhouse which was |
badly needed, she sold her diamonds |
and put up the building. When the
king saw it, he cried: But, Eugene, |
where on earth did you get the money
TO crafty your whim?"
When it was agreed to submit the
Alabama controversy to arbitration, it
was suggested by Great Britain that it
should be left to European sovereign,
n to the pope, or to the emperor of
Brazil. The United States offered to
cave it to the president of Mexico or
switzerland. An agreement was final
y reached that several powers should
choose each an arbitrator learned in the
aw, and that their joint verdict should
re conclusive. The arbitrators were
i've in number and were chosen by the
United States, Great Britain, Italy,
switzerland and Brazil. 1t is this prece-
lent which has been followed in the
venezuelan case.

Astronomy Among the Ancients.

The beginnings Of astronomy were
on the tops of towers of Babylon
and the pyramids of Egypt. 1t is
believed by many writer's that both
classes of structures were erected
for astronomical purposes. AS
early as the time of job, nearly 1000
years before Christ, most of the
stars had been divided into constel-
lations. The writer of Job men,
tions Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades
as being familiar. The modern
science dates from the labors of
Copernicus, Tycho, Brahe and New
ton.

The United States gold dollar con-
tains 1858 troy grains. The ordinary
pound, avoirdupois, contains 1000
grains, therefore 81 100000 in gold coin
weighs 3,6s6,4 pounds avoirdupois, or
over ton and half. The standard
silver dollar weighs 412.5 grains, and
100000 in the United States silver

RIGHT TO INTERFERE.
Its Assumption by Mckinley Dis
pleasing to Spaniards.

HAVANA, Dec. 6.-La Lucha in it's
leading editorial today says 'The
Madrid government awaits the con-
tents of President McKinley's message
to congress. 1t is believed that it's tone
will be satisfactory, although the
cabled summary published here should
not satisfy Spanish patriotism, as Mr..
Mckinley only admits that Spain gives
autonomy to Cuba as step to pacify
the island and says that in view of
this Spain must be allowed sufficient
time to obtain the results of her con-
cessions. This, Mr.. Mckinley points
out, was said by Mr.. Cleveland and
Secretary Olney also, but these words
do not lay the president under any
obligation; while they are unsatisfac-
tory to Spain, as they only indicate
period of time more or less for Spain
to end the revolt.
''It seems that the president recog-
niZes the right of the United States to
interfere with affairs exclusively with
in the authority of Spain. In view of
this, it is to be expected that if the
revolt does not end in a period of time
acceptable to the Americans, they will
Interfere in more decisive and effec-
tive manner than heretofore. Thus far
the Washington government has met
with no obstacle in doing or undoing
as it pleases. It remains to be seen
whether the Madrid government will
tolerate the White house in going be-
yound the limits Of prudence and rea-
son, or whether, in response to this
new and wary demand, Spain will re-
ply with such dignity and energy as
her indisputable rights, her history,
character and feelings demand"

WHAT IS LIFE2
WASHINGTON, WHICH ANSWERS
THE QUESTION.
AN INTERESTING SUBJECT.

What is life?" This question has
been asked during all ages, but it has
never until now been successfully an
swered Professor Elmer Gates, Of
Washington, who has been making
great experiments with the microscope,
has made virtually, a double micro
scope; In other words, he brings the
image OF the first microscope on the
lens, which picture on the lens is en-
larged by the second microscope SO
that many things which it is impossible
to see with an ordinary microscope are
revealed. In this way he is able to
see the smallest cells Of the body in. an
exceedingly large form. He says: Cut
a piece Of protoplasm into a number
of pieces and each piece will still be
alive" thus proving that the germs
Of life exist in even the minutest par
ticle Of the body.
But he goes farther and says that he
believes mind is life, and that mind Is
present in every particle of the body.
This Is new, a startling, q wonderful
theory and 1t may lead to a revolution
on the subjects of disease, health and
of happiness. 1t explains clearly one
thing and that is, why the mind is fire.
quently affected when the body is dis
ordered, and it brings home the ques-
ton Of health or disease very forcibly.
1t becomes plain that in order to have
q clear head and strong mind, one
must have body that is in perfect
condition. When the body is deranged
the mind cannot work rightly. With
pains in the back, nausea WEAKNESS,
bearing down sensations and all the
symptoms indicating a weakened con-
dition Of the kidneys and urinary or
gans, there is certain to be q clouding
of the intellect which calls for imme-
date action. This action can only be
successfully taken by using some great,
modern discovery that is certain to put
the cell tissues in perfect shape. There
is such discovery and 1t is doing more
to counterfeit pain and establish health
than anything known to modern times.
In speaking Of it DR.. William Edward
Robson, Of London, says: II emphat-
ically state that I have been able to
give more relief and effect more cures
by the use of Warmers Safe Cure than
by all the medicines in the British
pharmacopoeia." Doctor r. A Gum,
dean Of the United States Medical coll
lege. says: 81 prescribe and use War
ner's Safe Cure in both acute and
chronic Bright's disease and commend
1t most frankly"
Such statements should convince any
man or woman that there is no need
Of farther suffering. if a prompt use is
made of the remedy that is commend
ed so highly.

CUBANs DISAPPOINTED.
Me KinIey's Message Not Just What
They Expected.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 6.-Herbert
w. Wolcott, president of the Cuban
American league, gave out a statement
for publication today regarding the
Cuban clause in the presidents mes
sage. Mr.. Wo1cott said: II see by a
morning paper that the attitude of Nc
klnley on the Cuban question is graft
flying to Spain according to Senior Du-
ruy de LONE, the Spanish minister.
Since reading the presidents message
this afternoon I can readily believe this
and l think his position is much more
gratifying to the Spanish than it is to
the friends Of Cuba in this country To
tell the truth, l am really disappointed.
[ had not expected very much on ac-
count of the late news from Washing
ton. but President Mckinley shows by
his MESA ge that he will not do any
thing now and probably never. And
this cannot, of course, but disappoint
friends of Cuba and those who believed
that the president would stand more
nearly on the platform of his party
which declared that this government
about the peace and independence of
the island of Cuba
According to President Mckinley the
granting of belligerency rights would
be good thing for Spain and a bad
thing for Cuba, but very singulariy the
prominent Cubans in this country de-
sire it and the Spanish minister and
those like Senator Hale, who approve
of SPANS cause III the island. are op-
posed. l hope that congress will be
more friendly to us Cubans than the
president and that something may yet
be done for them within a short time"

HUGH HANNA'S VIEWS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 6.-Hugh
Hanna, chairman of the executive
committee of the monetary conference
committee, tonight expressed gratiflca-
ton at the stand taken by the presi-
dent. Concerning the message he said:
1.-The president certainly made plain,
urgent appeal for currency legislation
and there is no uncertain sound in his
expression Of views as to the vital i'm
portance of action by the present ses-
sion Of congress. He wisely passes
over the detail of method. He insists
upon the retirement Of the United
States notes and approves Mr.. Cages
plan of dealing with banking currency.
The important feature of the message
is that he realizes that the subject
must be met and the record made by
bravely dealing with the question 1t
was to be expected that he should
enter into discussion Of any plan of his
own. He has said courageously all

MEXICAN OPINION.
1t Is That Mckinley, Has Given
Strength to Sagmsta.


CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 6.-Mexican
public opinion regarding McKinley's
utterances on the Cuban question is
that they will greatly strengthen the
Sagasta government and enable it to
win friends IL Spain for it's reform
policy in the island. The Clerical party
naturally regards the attitude of the
president as wise and prudent, but the
masses who favor Cuba would have
liked to see belligerency accorded the
insurgents. as such course would have
led eventually to similar action in
Latin-America. Resident Cubans are
opposed to autonomy in Cuba, and as
esrt that the fight will go on and that
the Autonomists in the island are
fee bic minority. They utterly distrust
the promises of Spain.
The Mexican Herald says it was for
tunate for the American colonies in
the revolt against Great Britain that
the French king did not take the same
view of their belligerency as does the
president of the United States of the
Cuban patriots cause.
