WISE"
Mr.. Morgan presented q joint resolution rec
ognizing the existence of state of war in
Cuba. The resolution was not urged for i'm
mediate adoption.
Mr.. TERRY HxPLAINs.
In the House, on Saturday, Mr. Terry ARK. J
said certain proceedings in the course of the
iarln debate last Tuesday had been the occas-
ION OF certain charges and insinuations against
him, to the effect that through jealousy and be-
cause OF soreness over the defeat of Mr. Nc
Miliin in the contest for the complimentary
vote for Speaker by Democratic members, he
had prevented the gentleman from Texas (Mr.
Bailey from making the closing speech on the
bill for the minority. He explained that he
was not supporter of Mr. McMiilin in that
contest; felt no soreness over the result, and
denounced the charges as utterly and entirely
false.
In the Senate, on April 5, the Cuban ques-
ton came up on the resolution of Mr.. Allen
This protests against the trial of Gen. Rui7
Rivera, the Cuban commander, by drumhead
court-martial.
FOR INQUIRY AND PROTEST.
Mr.. Allen urged the immediate adoption oil
the resolution. He emphatically dissentsd
from the proposition that the American Con-
gress must sit idly by while this ssvagery and
barbarous contest proceeds at our very thres-
hold. Within 100 miles of our shore women
aud children were being butcbered and the
methods of civilized warfare set at defiance.
Mr.. Hoar Mass, r. responded in a calm
and impressive manner. He spoke of the
aspirations of the founders of the Government
in establishing the Senate as the stay and re-
sisting power against those passionate and ft-
ful gusts of sentiment that had cked every
other Republic on earth.
In this pending resolution the Senate was
asked to give an affront to q powerful and
friendly Nation. When the time came for any
we'll. considered movement in behalf of human
warfare In Cuba or elsewhere, Mr.. Hoar said,
it would have his support.
Tie danger to Gen. Rivera was not rumor,
and in 80 characterizing it the Massachusetts,
Senator showed his weakness and puerility,n
declared Mr.. Allen. The American people
knew the facts-and the Massachusetts SEN
ator knew them-that this meant Rivera was
about to be tried and shot.
II wish l had the power to land United
States soldiers on the land of Cuba, and to send
our fleets there" said Mr.. Allen, "and the
Spanish forces would be ground to infinite
small pieces or this barbarity would end"
Mr.. Hale (Me.) said that he would be will
ing to pass resolution inquiring of the State
Department what information it had on the
matter. The Department was in daily COM
munication with Cuba through its agents The
Senate had had experience taking steps based
on newspaper rumors, which it afterward re-
GREETED. Therefore, he moved the reference of

Antiquity Of Gold Mining.

Gold was probably the first metal OBJ
served and collected, because of the in
stinctiVe understanding of its intrinsic
value. About it superstitiOns grew, re-
ligiOus and ceremoniOus rites, and
strange crimes were committed for its
possession in the days when it was be-
lieved that it was of such stuff that the
sun itself was made and the halls Of Val
halla paved. Rock paintings and carv-
ings in Egyptian tombs earlier than
the days of Joseph indicate the opera
ton of washing auriferous sand and a
subsequent melting in furnaces by the
aid of blow pipes.
Less than twenty years ago the old
mines of Nubia, so graphically described
by Diodorus, were rediscovered on the
shores of the Red sea, together with a
line of ancient wells across the desert;
the underground workings where ore
veins had been followed with the pick,
the rude cupelling furnaces for assaying,
picks, oil lamps, stone mills, mOrtars
and pestles, inclined washing tables Of
stone, crucibles, and retorting furnaces
of burned tile, by which the entire pro-
cess could be traced Here slaves and
hapless prisoners Of war exchanged their
life blood for glittering dust to fill the
treasures Of their captorS. In India and
Asia Minor the powdered ore was washed
down over smooth, sloping rocks, and
the gold caught in the heeces of sheep
skins sunk In the Gtream. 1t was liter

less surely, destroy the brain cells that
lead all the rest-that are, so to speak,
the commanding officers OF mental
power, health and motion.
Worry, to make the theory still
stronger, is an irritant at certain points,
which produces little harm If it comes
at intervals or irregularly. Occasional
worrying Of the system the brain can
cope with, but the iteration and reltera-
tion OF one idea of disquieting sort
the cells OF the brain are not proof
against. 1t is as If the skull were laid
bare and the surface OF the brain struck
lightly with hammer every few sec
onds, with mechanical precision, with
never the sign Of a let-up or the failure
of stroke
Just in this way does the annoying
idea, che maddening thought that will
not be done away with, strike or fall
upon certain nerve cells, never ceasing,
and week by week diminishing the vi
tality OF these delicate organisms that
are so minute that they can only be
seen under the microscope. .-Pharmaceu-

How Worry Affects the Brain,

Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiously interesting than
the fact that worry will kill. More re-
Inarkable still, 1t has been able to de-
termine, from recent discoveries, just
how worry does kill.
1t Is believed by many scientists who
have followed most carefully the growth
of the science Of brain diseases, that
scores Of the deaths set down to other
causes are due to worry, and that alone.
The theory Is simple one-so simple
that any one can readily understand it.
Briefly put. 1t amounts to this: Worry
Injuries beyond repair certain cells of the
brain; and the brain being the nutri-
tive center of the body, other organs be-
come gradually injured, and when some
disease of these organs, or combination
Of them, arises, death finally ensues.
Thus does worry kill. InsidiOusly,
like many another disease. it creeps
upon the brain in the form of a single,
constant, never-lost idea; and as the
dropping Of water over period OF years
will wear q groove In stone, 80 does
worry gradually, Lmperceptibly, but no

that. Don't take your scene from France
or Italy, where you have never been
home is nearer and just as good. If
you can light upon an idea that has not
been done to death, or situation un-
hackneyed or unfamiliar, make the most
of it. New England has been so run
upon that it affords material only to
a few experts. The Middle States and
those between the Ohio and the Rockies
locally speaking, are poor literary
field, but the South and the far West
are not worked out yet. Avoid dialect;
as a main reliance its day is done. Avoid
the "hifalutin," spread eagle and rip
roaring styles; they are of the remoter
past Don't write tales Of literary life
until you know it as thoroughly as Mr..
Howells does. Find out what your bent
u.s. if you have any and what you have
to say, if anything. If not, seek other
pursuits. Remember that a poor story
or essay is of less value than peck of
inferior apples, and that the author Of
a bad novel is entitled to no more re-
spect than shoemaker or farmer that
does not understand his business. The
pioneers Of our literature may have done
what now seems poor work. but we
knew no better then and had nothing
better They were pioneers, and as such
entitled to a place in history; but no
body Is going to write the history of the
multifariOus literary efforts Of our time
that come to nothing.
Whatever you do, take pains with it,
Try at least to write good English; learn
to crlticise and correct your work; put
your best into every sentence. If you are
too lazy and careless to do that, better
go into trade or politics. 1t is easier to
become a Congressman or millionaire
than real author, and we have too
many bad stOry-tellers as it is.-Lippin-

Life in Small Cities.

"The higher salaries Of the larger
cities, is, perhaps, what attracts young
men more pOtently than any other fac
tor" writes Edward X. Box in the Oc-
tober Ladies' Home Journal, pointing
out "Where Success Awaits Young Men"
in the smaller cities But, unfortu-
nately," he says, "as thousands of young
men have found for themselves, these
salaries are not so high as they were led
to believe, nor will the city income buy
as much in the metropolis as they bar
gained for A salary of $4,000 a year in
the big city will not bring young man
the comfortable living which $1,000 a
year means to him in the smaller COM
munity. With a far more moderate
salary the rising young clerk, manager
or business man in the small city lives
like a king in comparison to the man of
equal position in the large center. If
he earns thousand or two year he has
his own little home, by lease or pur-
chase. For $25 month he can have his
own pretty cottage, with Gods pure sun
shine on four sides of it. His children
have their own grass plot for their play

him. He knows the man who lives next
door. His neighbors children are his
childrens playmates. His social life
has meaning to it; it is a JOY and an
exhilaration to him. When he goes out
in the evening it is into home gather
ing where every face is familiar, and
where he is known and welcomed. He
has time to read, something which the
man in the larger city, whom he envies,
has not. His church Is to him like
family gathering every Sunday morning
The man in the pulpit is his pastor, who,
perhaps, has baptized him, married him,
and will baptize and marry his children.
Respected in his circle OF friends, every
step Of progress in his business is known
to them, and Is the cause for cOngratula-
ton. He is within easy walking dis
tance or trolley ride of his place Of busi-
ness. To his wife his home is her joy,
and not her care. She has time for her
children, her home, her social duties,
her reading and her church. The blood
of health rushes through the veins of his
children as they sleep and play in an un-
polluted atmosphere. Life means some
