Ips and Down.

When all the chairs are ostriches
And all the tables trees,
And luggers sail TO hunt the whale
At any time you please:
And greenhouse palms I'm tropic calms
Are waving in the breeze:
When Fritz, the dog, and Fluff, the cat.
Are pumas, splitting fire
What car you have TO grumblc at?
What more could you desire?
But when the sofa springs n leak,
And sharks are I'm the bay:
When Indian spies with fiery eyes
And faces painted gay,
Go lurking round the corridors
To grab you on your way:
When grizzly bears infest the stairs
AS fierce as fierce can be
What shall we do for dinner then?
Where can we go for tea?

DRINKING AT PRINCETON.

Princeton, N. j., Jan. 3.-During the

ties are guessing

in the vacation period, and W no are total
ahstainers, are anything but pleased over

Costa Rican Consul Sentenced u
Five Years in Prison.

Panama, Colombia, Jan. 3.-The trouble
| between Costa RIGA and Nicaragua has
taken new phase, according to inforina-
| ton from Managua. The Costa Rican con-
sui 10 Managua has been sentenced to five
years' Imprisonment, and fled before the
sent ence could be carried out. This con-
sui, SENIOR Eduardo Busche, was ar
rest ed in Managua September II last
aud was imprisoned, The charge against
him was completely in a revolutionary
movement against President Zelaya, OF
Nicaragua. Senior Busche's exequatur was
cancelled at the time of his arrest.
Senior Busche was in prison several
weeks, despite representations mace by
the Costa Rican government to Nicaragua
| to- secure his release. Costa RIGA de-
manded that proofs against the consul be
produced, but the demand went UNDECIDED,
| though finally Senior Busche was released
on bail Considers bile friction betw cen the
two governments was caused, and this was
followed by an interchange of sharp notes.
There were reports that both Nicaragua
and Costa RIGA were quie:ly preparing for
war.
Finally, despite protests from Costa RIGA /.
the trial of Consul Busche by court-martial
began. President Zelaya swept aside Costa
Rica's demands, and a few days ago tire
court-martial sentenced the consul to five
| years imprisonment. This sentence was
| kept secret unit, yesterday.
Senior Busche learned OF the expected
| sentence about week ago, and left Mica
ragua, though there was. report that he
would be pardoned. Ii a. supposed that
he has gone To Costa RiCa, and will lay
the case before the President OF that
country. This has aroused new friction
between the governments, and the end
cannot be foretuld. War, il il believed in
many quarters, viii be the result.
In the meantime Ncara qua is threat
ened from another source. Believing that
war between that government and Costa
