A CURIOUS CANDuEsr1cK

Historical students, when called upon
to criticise relations OF events. espe-
cially those that seem in themselves
unlikely, that are recorded to have
happened in the lives Of persons whose
careers are separated by a long period
Of time, when the said events have
very striking similarity between them.
are wont to regard the first narrative
as the prototype, and the latter as a
case OF transference. Sometimes this
may be the correct view to take. but
it is commonly a dangerous proceed
ing to insist upon. An example has
occurred to me recently which illus
trates this.
At East Butterwick, a village on the
banks Of the Trent, some eight miles
northwest Of this place, there lived in
the middle Of the century a shop
keeper named Marshall. He was
general dealer, supplying nearly all
the wants OF his neighbors Above
this mans shop and adjoining out
houses was a long chamber, open 10
the roof, in which he kept such stores
as he had not room for in his some
what small shop. Among other things
this room contained mangle, which
was at the service Of such OF the wo-
men OF the town" as made him a
small payment. One Winter evening
several women were engaged in mang-
ling. when one OF them knocked down
their solitary candlestick, and, being
probably Of earthenware, It was
broken. Work for the night was near
ly over; it did not seem worth while to
fetch another, so one Of the women
took the still burning candle-happily
it was not a very short one-and stuck
it into some black, dusty looking stun,
which she had noticed in a barrel
standing near. Soon. however. one Of
these good danes had occasion TO de-
scend into the shop, and, encountering
Marshall there, naturally began to
apologize for the candlestick having
suffered. We may conceive what was
the shopkeeper's horror when he heard
what was the substitute that had been
found, for he knew at once that the
candle was standing in a cask OF gun
powder He rushed upstairs, and was
just IN time. He made a cup with his
TWO hands" as he said, so that no
sparks could get 10 the powder" and
drew the candle calmly out without
uttering a sound. His words after
ward, when al danger was over, were,
I have been told, Of kind not uncom-
monty heard on board OF keels and
coal barges on our rivers, but such are
discouraged elsowhere.-Notes and
Queries.

The United States Court OF the State

rendered a decision that is OF vital in
terest to life insurance policy holders.

company claimed the deceased had ali
lowed his insurance 20 lapse. Judge
Hanford in his decision, said am In

a forfeiture OF policy for the nom

A PROBLEM FOR SPAIN.


Since the war began Spain has lost
more than a score OF her war vessels,
more than a score Of her transports
and merchant ships have been captured
or sunk, and the few remaining vessels
Of her merchant marine are tied in
home or foreign ports, not daring TO
fly her flag on the high seas.
On the other hand, the American
navy has suffered no losses in battle
not a ship has been morS than tempo
rarily disabled, while our ocean trade
has sustained no noticeable check.
From a false pride Spain has foolish
ly sacrificed her place as a European
power, she has given up her navy and
sent her sailors to the bottom OF the
sea and lost her magnificent colonial
possessions on two continents. 1t is
conceded that her honor will be salts
fed" with the surrender OF the ancient
capital of Cuba and the army that has
defended it. II it is not, the fleet OF
Commodore Watson may add to the
measure Of her misery all that Is re-
ouired to make satisfaction complete.
To save the Balearic and Canary
Islands Spain must sue Gor peace and
admit the satisfaction of her honor
Whether she has not already delayed
too long to preserve the reigning dy-
nasty is a problem that Spanish states
men will have to solve.-Chicago

DELIVERY OF MAnIa.

Deiawareans are interested in the
rural free delivery OF malls for two
reasons. The first is that the rural

vice, as authorized by THE last Com
