Our Cuban budget was fuller than usual
today. 1t appears that the Spanish govern
ment, fearful OF what Gen. woodford may
have been Instructed to propose, cabled
weyler to try to reach some understanding
with Gen. Gomez In advance. As a cunse-
quence the former prepared terms of peace
which would leave Cuba saddled with a
debt OF $500 600 900, continue the Cap
tain General Of the island in autocrGtic
power, provide for an army OF occupation,
and give the Cubans nominal representative
municipal government. As might be eX-
pccted, Gen Gomez refused TO treat with
weyleT. and laughed at his proposals which,
however the Spanish authorities were crazy
enough To believe would be considered
seriously.

whether the coal miners succeed in their
strike movement or not, it seems destined to
pass into history as a thing unique in the
way Of a labor revolution Heretofore such
adventures have been marked with more or
less disorder and violence. Ia the present
instance all elements Of organized labor
seem determined that nothing of the kind
shah occur, and this is very wise. In the
past, an d especially in Penns nsylvania, stnk-
ers have served the cause OF their enc mics
by reSortingto force. The mine workers and
their allies recognize the futility and fool
ishness of such methods, and are trying the
better plan of peaceful and orderly protest
aud persuasion. They are much more likely
Go win on that than on any other basis.

NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
It Was Provided by ST. Louis Man For
His Wifc's Feminine Friends.

It Was Provided by a st. louis Man For
His wife's Fominine Friends.
A wealthy st. Louisan living IN tho
vicinity Of Lafayette park provided a
novel form of entertainment for his
wife's guests one evening, says the st.
Louis Republic.
The hostess was extremely anxious to
provide something original for the edi-
fication cf a score Of guests whom she
intended to call together for an informal
evening Her husband promised to pro-
vide such novelty and took boon COM
panion into his confidence 30 that end.
They had not exchanged ideas 80 CON-
secutive seconds before they hit upon
the device Of converting the elegant
parlors into a gambling house pro tenn.
A faro hank, roulette wheel and po-
ker and keno lay outs were easily pro.
curable, as the confercas we'll knew,
and that part Of the programme was
soon settled. The friend suggested as a
pretty epilogue the Introduction Of a
pair of bulldogs, guaranteed to reduce
each other to mince meat in three
rounds. This rather staggered the ambi-
tious host, but his friend is a ward poll
tician, and with the eloquenoe he always
keeps on draft soon convinced the other
that the evening would be a failure
without those bulldogs
The evening arrived, and with it came
the guests. The ladies were prettily
shocked at sight of the gambling para
phernalia, but became accustomed TO il
in an astonishingly short time and shar-
cd in the games with becoming vim. II
was when the yellow bulldogs made
their unexpected entrance that the hor-
ror Of the fair guests proved genuine.
The boasts yelped and growled and
showed other peculiarly canine symp
toms Of "spoiling for a fight" There
upon the ladies sought refuge on the pi
ano and card tables and chairs, con
Quoting their r%rcat as from mouse.
Notwithstanding excited feminine
protestations, the friend who had beer
consulted as to a novelty in entertain
ment unleashed the Gogs. 1t was an ex
citing climax to an original" evening
The dogs feastod for fvo minutes OF
choice bits of each others anatomy
The ladies screamed and tho friend VIII
was consulted exulted III tho success o
his novelty. When he was quite con
. vinced-and it took a considerable tim
to convince him-that the ladies' desir
for gore had been fully rratifed, h
doused tho dogs into convenient tu
of water and separated them.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in her book,
"Chapters From Life, >" pays the fol-
lowing tribute to James T. Fields:
"Mr Fields was a man of marked
chivalry of nature, aud, at a time when
il was not fashionable to help the move
ments for the elevation Of women, his
sympathy was distinct, fearless and
faithful In few instances, we knew,
and he knew, that this fact deprived
him Of the possession Of certain public
honors which would otherwise have
been offered to him.
"He advocated the political advance
ment Of our sex, coeducation and kin
dred movements without any Of that
apologetic murmur so common among
the half hearted or the timid. His fas-
tidious and cultivated literary taste was
sensitive to the position of women in
letters. He was incapable of that liter
ary snobbishness which undervalues a
woman's work because it is a woman s.

threatened to treat of eminent mer

A strange Nursery.

On the slopes Of the Himalayas the
natiyo women have a most curious plan
of disposing Of their babies and keeping
them quiet while they are engaged at
work in the fields during the greater
part of the day. Before the mothers set
out to work i'll the morning they wrap
their babies in swaddling bands, leav-
ing nothing but their little faces ex-
posed. Then the babies are taken and
laid under ledge Of rock from which
water is falling, and by means Of a
bamboo the water is made to drip gem
tly on each baby's forehead. The effect
OF the dripping water is most soothing,
and soon the little ones are all asleep
and remain motiorloss till taken up by
their mothers on their return from their
work, when they IRE carried off to be
unwrapped, dried a-1 fed.

Specialized education in animals be-
gins late. The beaver kittens training
does not begin until the autumn of the
year in which it was born. The old
beavers, which have moved up tributary
streams into the woods, or roamed to
the larger lakes during summer, then
return to inspect their dam and repair
it for the winter. They then cut down
few trees, and, dividing them into
logs, roll them or tow them to the dam.
The kittens meantime are put on to
what in a workshop would be called a
''soft Job" They cut all the small
branches and twigs into lengths and do
their share of light transport service.
In the mud patting and repairing of the
dam the beaver kittens take their share,
but there is little doubt that they do Sc

a great joy and solace to old beavers as
