from Weyler to Blanco-the attitude of
Spain subsequent to the Woodford letter
and the violent boasting of the Spanish
press-all these have added immensely to
the popular clamor for our recognition of
the Cuban republic.
Second the Hawaiian question. The
proposition of annexation seemed simple
enough at the close of the special session.
Since then a great deal of opposition has
been developed, so much that President
Mckinley and the party leaders have gone
into several weghty councils over the
matter.
The sugar trust programme of opposl-
ton has not been yet definitely outlined,
and until it has, the friends of annexation
are in the dark as to what form of legisla-
tive opposition they will have to meet 1t
as probable that the first few days of con-
gress will line uD the friends and oppo-
nents in definite array.
Annexation seems to be certain enough
but 1t is likely that lobbying in the corri-
doris and hlibustering on the floor of the
House and Senate will put the settlement
of the proposition far along toward the end
of the season.
Third, the currency. The same question
that was fought in the last Presidential
campaign is likely to be re-opened-like an
old wound torn afresh-by the report of
the Wolcott commission. This is likely
the President, as to him a direct report
will be made.
The House and Senate are full of budding
talent anxious to make itself heard on the
money problem.
Fourth, immigration When Mr.. Cleve-
land vetoed the Lodge bill which was
passed by the Fifty-fourth congress, the
friends of the measure girded up their
loins and prepared for another fight.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the
congressional expert on all matters per-
tanning to immigration, is a warm friend
of the President and was "one of the
first Mckinley men," It is expected that
he will summon the executive whip to his
aid.
Fifth, government by injunction. The
tragedy of Hazleton, Pa, where many
miners were Killed by the guns of sner-
iffs deputies, has brought this problem
into great prominence. Labor organiza-
lions ell over the country have demanded
of their congressman that it be pressed to
the fore. Congress will be asked to con-
slider it.
Ancient and honorable members who sat
silent during the discussion of such COM
paratvely light questions as the tariff,
Cuba. etc, will rise up and deliver ponder
ous opinions on this grave constitutional
nroposition and will refer copiously to
dinev books dragged out of the archives
of the congressional library
n seems. then, that Mr. Mckinley did
wise thing in getting the Dngley tariff bill
o,it of the way. The man under the big
dome will have enough to do to settle the
foregoing. When the special session dis
nosed of the tariff question 1t was thought
,hst the regular session, beginning this
nnontb would be brief. 1t was thought
mat the appropriation bills would take up
the greater part of the time, and that ad-
iolirnment would soon hustle the law-mak-
ers out of the capital like a bunch of
somebody's on a holiday but it Is not thus
to be. In the interval the country mas been

and drink his own weight every fifteen
days, or twenty-four times over in twelve
months This Is supposing the man in
question to be healthy and fairly well to
do in the world.
There are some people of such small
appetites that they eat much less. For
instance, lunatics, who consume their
weight only sixteen times a year; and
paupers, who accomplish the feat nineteen
times per annum. And, on the other
hand, there are people of an aldermanic
turn who manage to find room inside for
incredible quantities. But, taking into
calculation small and large eaters, young
and old, rich and poor, the amount of
food and drink they each succeed in dis
posing of in twelve months weighs from
$500 to $500 pounds.
The Englishman's annual allowance Of
meat is one sheep, half a pig. one-ffth
OF COW, and five tins of foreign beef or
mutton. In addition to this he eats
twelve fowls, seven rabbits five ducks.
five turkeys, three geese, three pheasants.
partridges, quail, hares or other members
of the game family. This gives him n
total quantity of meat amounting to 40
pounds, or about one pound a day.
The Briton doesn't do badly in the mat
ter of fish also. His annual consumption
of fish. including foreign imports as well
as that caught at home, Is just seventy
five pounds. So that his total consu,nntion
of fish amounts to so or 80 per cent. of tbe
meat, and he thus eats nearly three times
MS weight of other animals every twelve
months
But this is nothing to the way the
Briton devours the vegetable world. OF
potatoes alone, his annual share Is 260
pounds; and he eats 10 pounds of onions
and 800 pounds of turnps, cauliaowers
beans, peas, vegetable marrows, beetroot.
parsnips, carrots and the like OF bread
he eats 500 pounds, or $50 two-pound
loaves; of biscuits. he munches eight
pounds; and OF rice he eats twelve pounds
Beer is considered a necessary in the
diet of the average Briton. Necessary or
luxury, anyhow he drinks the pretty good
quantity of 80 gallons of beer. This he
warns up with 1870 glasses of spirits and
varies his potations with five bottles OF
wine and 30 bottles of lemonade. ginger
beer and soda water. Adding cider, perry
and ell the new-fangled teetotal bever-
ages. his drink bill, as regards quantity
amounts to 100 gallons, of seven times
your own weight
Then, although Britons can't hold a
candle to Dutchmen or Americans in the
matter of smoking, the average English
man manages to make 10 pounds of to-
bacco. 25 cigars and 800 cigarettes disap-
pear In the twelve months.
In addition to this each of the queens
subjects probably swallows from 20 to 80
pills; and drinks one or two bottles of cod
liver oil, and six bottles of medicine

problems.
There is no limit to the number of mess
ages a President can send to congress.
Grant addressed congress only eight
times, but Thomas Jefferson sent twenty
three messages during his term. James
Monroe communicated with the House
thirteen times. Madison twenty-five times

Gen. Grant had a way of asking each
cabinet officer to write a part of the mes

valuable mosaic of opinion.
Harrison finished up his message long
enough ahead to put a polish upon it, so
that it read like literary production.
Hayes condensed his thoughts until the

three times before the whole meaning was
understood.
President Arthur asked assistance. de-

THE VISITING CARD.
It Has Not Changed in Size, Yet There Is a
 Distinct Newness About It.

The latest visiting card has not chang ed in size, but it is neither the vsgy chick board of long ago nor the recent very thin material. It is of moderate thickness and pure white. In calling attention to new styles in cards th+ black type is growing in popularity ev- cry day and promises to oust the script, which has held it's own so long. Script of a rather larger and heavier style is still good form. Addresses are put efth- 1T in the lower Jeff or the lower right hand corner and bolder and larger leit- fering is also used for this purpose.
 When the fasilionnble woman goes abroad, it is necessary, as well as con- venient, that she should carry a travel ing card. l. is of ample size and quite thin. Across the top of the card is giv- en in black type her full name. Just beneath this her city address in Ameri- ca is given, while in the right hand corner is the name of her hanksr in London or Paris, and in the left hand corner her cable address. This is lot of information to put on a visising card but those who have already travelled in foreign countries readily sse the ad- vantage of the plan. Cards designed for country use have the rame and ad- dress of ones country place in the left hand corner, otherwise they are exactly like those for city use.

 The explosion occurred at Grantwell,
 located at the head of the National

 Samuel Barber, the shooter of the Ohio
 and Indiana Torpedo company. The well was a Gaser, and when the 120 quarts Of glycerine came down into it 1t exploded and caught fire, the flames burning up the derrick. As soon sis the drillers saw the flames several crawled up the derrick to shut off the gas, but they had hardly gotten there before
 there Was a terrific explosion The burning gas had started the re- maining glycerne in the empty cans standing in a wagon near the derrick. In another wagon nearby was cans con- | taining 120 quarts of the stuff, and this | was started by the force of the first | explosion.
 The second was blended with the first | explosion in a mighty roar and the road and town and surrounding country for miles trembled from the shock. The National Supply company's building
 was completely demolished, and nothing remained but deep hole where the wagons stood. There is not whole pane of glass in any window in the town, and every house and store was shaken The damage to the Ohio Oil company will amount to $3.000.

Good Advice For the Maids and Matrons Who
 Take Century Runs.

The amount of luggage to be carried on a tour is an imponart question with the lady cyclist who does mot witeh to drag too much about with her. In a hflly district especially, while the rna- chine may run easily on the level and be all the faster down hill, i. will make the work heavier when the collar work begins, if the machine is loaded with impedimenta, while pushing it up steep hills will be fourd most tiring. Wher- ever parcel post or train are available 1t is by far .he best plan to send the bulk of ones things from place to place, and only carry small bag on the cycle. All experienced tourists adopt this plan, which enables one to have thorough change at the end of days ride, so thas the riding kit can be thoroughly dried, brushed ard washed if necessary.
 Natural wool can hardly be beaten for the tourists underclothing, although some prefer the cellular material in cot ton, wool or silk. The cellular shrinks less tn washing, but we have found 1t apt eo chill the body when wet with precipitation, and cotton retains the odor thereof to an unpleasant degree. Still, to thoge who do not persp.se very free- ly it is very pleasaris wear in hot weather. Where there $ mot time to get ops's things properly washed very good plan is to get them rinsed in warm water with t:easpoonful of liquid ann monia in it. Tfis also makes refresh ing sponge down for the body after a hot ride, but it should rot be overdone, as it dissolves the atural oil out of the skin and .ends to make it too dry.
 A light basket with paddock or water proof tweed bag, not too big to be car ried on the machine when required, will do for sending ahead. The riding CO.'S tune should, of course, be of plain serge or tweed, and destitute of Innings, which are insufferebly hoi. for summer riding. A light cardigan or Shetland supplies their place when required, and takes up but little room. Wet weather Is always possible contingency when on tour, and it will be found advisable not to ride Too much in the rain if there ds any pros- pect of its stopFing within reason able time. If there is ITO alternative some attention must be paid to the cleaning of the machine at the end of the ride, as the rain gets into hooks and corners and causes rust at vital points. Every care must be taken wi h the cycle in places where there is ittle chance of getting any repairing done.
