Kinley has assumed an entirely dit
ferent attitude on the question. In
the view of recent events he is re-
ported to have said that the actions
of the Spaniards must not be toler'
ated much longer by this country
and if remedial action is not taken
most haste, we must demonstrate our
dspleasure to Spain, which is tanta'
mount TO declaring war.
1t is said also that Senator Sher-
man has changed front. One thing
is sure, if this country does take
action it will be very emphatic in its
nature, and no halfway measures
will be INDUCED in.
The feeling in congress is at the
boiling point, and it will be hard
work to constraiu it, even if McKln-
lev and Sherman should finally decide
to proceed slowly, which evidently is
not their intention at this time.
Everybody is anxious to know just
what Mr.. Mckinley will say in his
inaugural message on this subject.
In fact, the topic of how he will treat
the tariff and finances is not referred
to in Washington with that eager
ness that would naturally be ex-
pected, while everybody is anxious
to know his standing on the Cuban
question.

Some OF Missouri's legislators are
evidently DESTROYS of attending the
Corbett Fitzsimmon' fight at the
expense of the state. A member
lately introduced a resolution provid.
ing that a committee OF five be
appointed to attend the prize fight
to report on the ACCESSIBILITY of
legaizing prize fighting in Missouri.
The resolution was properly referred
to the committee on militia. 1t is
hardly probable that Missouri has
much desire to follow the example
OF Nevada.

cut played in the Revolutionary war,
claiming that she had never received the
recognition OF her services that she de-
served. 1t is a good thing to wake up
the patriotism OF people all over the
country and realize that the United
States has some reason to feel proud OF
her history. Much sympathy was ex'
pressed with and for the regent OF Yer

M5TAMoRPHosls OF A PLANT.

n curious incident of the power of
plants to adapt themselves to circum-
stances came under my notice recently
in the shape of a Pontedria crassipes,
Last fall, says a writer in Mechan's
Monthly, 1 obtained n slip of poptedria,
which l placed in bowl in my sitting
room window. BY spring it was Il

and this time / found n crock, quite
deep, but not very wide. divided my
plant, putting half in the crock and the
other half in the boiler. This latter l
kept thinned out by giving slips to
friends; the other plant was left to
grow ut it's own sweet will, and, being
thrifty plant, very much bent on
growing, and finding it could not spread
according to its natural mode, it
changed its tactics and took to grow
ing upward. The air bulbs developed
into long stems, and at the end of each
grew very large leaf twice the size
Of an ordinary leaf. And here I would
like to say that, ais a house plant, there
is nothing more attractive than n
healthy pontedria, with its CLASSY, wax
en- leaves, and, moreover, it requires SO
little attention, merely keeping it re-
plenished with water.

B1under OF n PhyHician That Caused
Much Concern.
Several victims of an accident were
taken to the hospital one day lately,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Two of
them were thought to be seriously hurt.
A man, who may be called Smith, was
badly cut and bruised, and internal in
juries were feared. He had bad heart,
and had not regained consciousness
when the ambulance reached the hos
pital. An inferno felt his pulse, and,
carefully pushing back the lid of one
of the eyes, gazed earnestly at it.
Poor fellow, there's no hope for
him." he announced. 1.-THE pupil Of his
eye is greatly dilated, and that's sure
sign where there is heart trouble"
A little later one of Smiths friends
called at the hospital and inquired about
him. The young physician repeated
what he had said before, explaining
the method by which he arrived ut his
conclusion. ...'-.
(Which eye was it you looked atp''
queried the friend.
1.-The right eye." ''

That SO? What is it?' inquired the
young doctor, with scientific interest.

and the next day Smith was discharged
from the hospital. ..... a..

small boy found sport in banging

came in he yanked on the BELL pull and

presses the button; but the sport of
calling people to the door for nothing
is not what it was; and it seems prob
able that with the general introduction
of the push button, it will finally fall
into decadence.
There was some fun in pounding
with the door knocker, whose thunder
reverberated through the hall and filed
the house, all of which you could hear
yourself. And you could yank the hell
pull out to the limit, causing the bell to
fly almost off the spring; there was fun

Very lhtely you don't hear the bell ring
at all; it may be that it is up three or
four flights of stairs; you hear no sound.
Nobody comes to the door; you don't
have to run. Possibly the people whose
bell you have rung may press button
up there in the air somewhere and you
may hear the click of the door-opener
at your side, or they may not do eve
that.
