The Presidents message was the mildest
thing that lie could have signed his name
To in connection with Cuba. The worst
Wall street man dominated by Wall street
entirely, with no sympathies for anybody,
could find nothing to object TO in this
message. Spain can find nothing to ob-
Ject TO. There can be no possibility Of
any hard feeling as a result OF it. A good
many people have supposed that the Pres-
dent would do more than this, that there
would be some suggestion OF the feeling
OF the United States with regard to the
Spanish treatment of the island. This did
not come, and, as d result, the expected
drop in the market did not show itself
either Wall street is relieved again, and
prices shot up yesterday. The vi hole board
scoreda rise, almost nothing being excepted,
and the generalness OF the tendency shows
that it was the result OF the message.
There will be no movement of perna-
nent nature and probably NO one expects
it, There is reason To believe today mat
the market will lose the advance I.ade
yesterday. The Cuban business is not
over yet, and the people at the other end
of the Avenue are not likely To look at the
situation with such soft eyes. Just the
nature Cf what the Senate and the House
will do with Mr.. Morgans resolution must
he the cue for the market There seems
to be Il large idea about that the PTesi
dent VIII not sign any resolution acknowi-
edging the belligerency of Cuba. / T he
does not sign such a resolution, and the
Senate and the House pass it again without
his signature the effect will be even worse
on the stock market than the mere passage
of the resolution.
In such a case the market mi ght go oft IN
q very bad way 1t would soon recover,
however, and probably healthily. There
is still the tariff uncertainty, as grave and
AS important an uncertainty as it has
been at any time, and there is still the
prospect that good shipments will continue.
With the other bear arguments, SO many
of them visible, there seems no reason to
believe that there win be any permanent
upward movement in the market for some
time to come.
Mr.. Sage, the gentleman who not very
long ago was preaching the reduction Of
dividends on Western Union SO persistently
because the company was not earning divi-
dends, is said by good authority to have
somewhat changed his way OF looking at
this question OF late. He is reported to
have said in conversation yesterday:
western Union earnings have shown some
increase during the quarter, and our peo-
pie think that the regular dividend will
be earned. If 1t is earned, have no
doubt that it will be paid?'' On the face
of 1t this reputed remark of Mr.. Sage iooNs
fishy, and has the strong suggestion of
having been gotten up as bait / do not
believe, myself, in any permanent rise in
Western Union.

Brave Boys.

Once at school two boys were called
ub after recess to give an account OF
themselves for fighting on the play
ground. One of them said the other
got mad at him for accidentally hit
ting him with the bat, and that he
called him coward. and for that rea-
son he was obliged to fight him. The
teacher punished both Of the boys.
The little talk he gave at that time
made such an impression on the minds
of some that they have never forgotten
it. The remembrance of what he said
has enabled them, in many instances,
to control their temper.
The teacher said: "Boys, the man
or boy who can hear another call him
coward without getting mad or fight
ing is much braver than the one who
resents it: It requires more. courage
to- control oneself than to strike an
other. Suppose when you start home
this afternoon you were to meet mad
dog in the road. Would it be Drawer
or wiser to stand in the road and snap
at the dog, or to get out of his way -?
If mad boy strikes you, you get mad
and strike him, unless you get out OF
his way, which is by far the better
plan. OF course the laws of God and
of man allow people to protect their
own lives, but there is no more foolish
sight in the world than two boys with
their. sleeves rolled up, each daring the
other to hit the first lick, unless it be
the boy who is always looking for
some one to call him coward, so be
can have fight. How would a boy
look with card pinned to his coat,
and on the card this writing: I am
brave boy if you call me coward,
I will fight you. Boys, if you would
be men, genuine, brave and ooura-
geous, learn to control yourselves. =

Wonderful Touch.

This about blind man who works
for man who is also blind and does
work for which men who can see are
we'll paid. The blind man who does
the work does it as we'll as man with
eyes, and he never makes mistake.
He depends entirely on his sense of
touch, which is extraordinarily well
developed.
Away back in war times t. Lock
wood went to the front. He was a
good soldier until he lost his sight.
A mfe ball put out one eye and the
shock and concussion so affected the
other that it was destroyed. Totally
blind, Mr.. Lockwood came back to his
old home, and for time was discour-
aged. Then he decided that there
were things that he could do to earn
a livelihood. He. set up,a store and
dealt in mems merchandise at Buda,
III. Fate was kind to him at last and
he prospered. Time went on, and his
employees were faithful to the man
who had lost his most precious sense
while fighting for most righteous
cause.
The man who was the buyer for Mr.:
Lockwood was and is j. Oechsley.
He worked for Mr.. Lockwood for many
years and was one of the most impor-
tant of his employees. But one day
misfortune came to him. Oddly
enough, it struck at his eyes. He was
laid low with nervous af1iction, and
when he was able to be told Of it the
doctors announced to- him that he was
to go through life in the same condi-
ton as his employer. His sight was
gone and never. would be restored.
Finally Mr.. Oechsley was able to
leave his room. he was notrich, and
the illness had made deep hole in
his store Of savings. The old prob
lem of keeping the wolf from the, door
was to be met once more, but this time
under terrible handicap. In the
hour of his most trying experience,
his old employer came to him and the
men went to the old store. Mr.
Oechsley knew the place by heart.
He was at home there, even he could
not see, and as the days went on he
realized that all was not gone, even il
his sight was lost. BE found that he
could tell as of cid the difference that
lie in the materials.
His hands seem to have been given
an extra share of cunning, and in a
measure became his sight. He prac-
ticed and grew more expert. His
whole energy was thrown, into the
work he had put himself to do, and in
short time it was found that as a
buyer Of goods he was almost as good
as before the calamity overlook him.
Mr.. Oechsley was in the city yes
terday. The merchants and iobbers
with whom he deals know him. They
| would not take advantage Of him even
if they could. And they all admit
that they could not if they would.
The hands of this man are as good
and even better in their way than the
eyes of most men. He. tells all about
a piece of goods, no matter what, it is,
by feeling the texture and finish. lie
is considered to be frst-class buyer,
and when merchants say this of him
they add that they do not take into
consideration the fact that he is blind
in passing their judgment of his abili-
ty.
The other blind mantle employee
lis thoroughly satisfied with the
work done by the one who sees with
his hands. The store is prospering,
and the men who play the biggest
part in it are Chicago Times.

Duration Of Human Life.

In the average statistics Of human
life it has been found that women live
longer than men; the reason for that
appears to be simple.
Up to the age of twenty to twenty
FIVE the man is undoubtedly younger
and less developed than the woman;
but iii the next twenty or thirty
years of his life the man ages much
more rapidly, because, apart from the
strain and hardship Of profession,
the exposure to unhealthy climates,
disappointments of fortune, he
he otter leads life OF dissipation and
excess, which early puts its stamp on
his forehead and turns his hair gray
before its time. The woman, on the
other hand, who has often. more than
her share Of anxieties, has. apart from
the many accidents Of life, but one
serious and inevitable danger, that Of
the perpetuation of her, race, which,
safely passed.. renovates rather than
ages, and increases womans chances
Of longevity.
From the few facts which I have
yentured to put together we may de-
duce, 1 think, the following conclus-
ions, which, / trust, may be found Of
some interest by those who desire to
have general view of the expecta-
tion Of life, its real duration, and the
possible causes Of its length and brevi:
ty.
First That, according to the best
authorities Of the last century, the ex-
treme limit Of life might be l25 years
under extraordinary and almost abb
normal circumstances.
Second-That the, anticipation of
life is roughly five times the time that
the organs Of the body-not counting
the brain, which developes 'later-re-
quire to attain their full and absolute
maturity. This, of course, varies not
only in races, but in individuals, sor
developing early and some much later,
even in the same climate and in the
same faraily:S
Third--That rarely, if ever, is that
full amount Of duration achieved, ow-
ing to disease, food, heredity, bad
habits, weartand tear, and many other
causes which shorten life.
Fourth-The slower the develop
ment the longer may be the duration
of life.
Fifth-That all human beings are
| not born with the capacity for long
life even under the most favorable
| circumstances. AS the organism OF
the human being is more complex
than that Of the lower animals, so his
| anticipation of life is far more varia-
BILE.
Sixth-That those circumstances
which conduce to longevity are un-
doubtedly late development, frugal
habits, moderation, exemption from
vicissitudes of climate, and extreme
heat or cold, from mental worry and
agitation, temperance in eating and
| drinking, with fair amount of brain
work when the brain is ready to un-
dertake it,.
We have all heard the well-worn
axiom attributed to the, Psalmist that
the "days of man are threescore and
ten;" but in Genesis vi, 3, will be
found the passage: "Yet his days
shall be an hundred and twenty
years" +" This passage seems to have
been overlooked, as I have rarely seen
it quoted, although, curiously enough,
it exactly corresponds to the theory
that man should attain five times the
period of reaching his maturity

CHANGES AT THE EMERGENCY.
DIR. Turner Succeeds DR.. Lawrence.
Also Two New Assistants,

There is to be considerable change in
the staff Of the Emergency Hospital on the
1st day OF May. DR. Lawrence, the resi-
dent physician in charge, together with
DIR. Hooc, the assistant in charge, will re-
tire, in order to take up private practice
The medical board in charge of the hos
pital has appointed Dr. Turner, Of The
regular starr, to be resident physician in
charge, TO succeed Dr. Lawrence, and the
two vacancies caused by Dr. Turner's
promotion and DR.. Hooe's withdra wal will
be filled by Drs Baher and Jueneman, two
members OF the subordinate staff
The retirement Of DrS. Lawrence and
HoOe viii be cause OF regret TO all who
are in any way yinterestedin the Emergency
Hospital. They have proved themselves
most efficient in their positions. and the
work Of the institution under them has
been conducted with excellent results
Some most difficult and scientific op
eratiOns have been conducted with re-
markable success during their term, and
there has been a noticeable decrease OF
the friction which did so much to impair
the usefulness OF the Institution in former
years.
DR.. Turner, the new physician in charge,
has an excellent record as a surgeon in
the hospital, and it is believed that his
appointment gives general satisfaction.
