Revival ot the InauIsItion.

$ writer touching on Spain in re- cent number of Golfers Weekly made the following pointed observations
 Senator Thurston, in his recent speech on Cuba, expressed with con siderable vehemence his horror of Spain. In the address of Senator Gallinger, which preceded it, as we'll as in the address of Senator Proctor, there was less vehemence perhaps, but the horror was as marked. To these gentlemen it seemed abominable that Spain should be allowed to act as she has. But when was she notl The butchery which has been going on in Cuba is but a continuation of a prac- tice, not immemorial perhaps, but sufficiently historic. It lacks the pomp of the auto-da-fe; it lacks, too, the smoke of the fagot. Otherwise it is the same thing-the extermination of those whose views differ from her own, the policy of the Inquisition. The birth of that institution occurred in Provence. It originated in the heresy known as that of the Albi- genses. The Duke of Burgundy set out to destroy it. The problem arose how the heretices were to be distin- guished from the orthodox. The Duke solved it in minute. Deciding that God would know His own, he killed everybody. The simplicity of the proceeding appealed to Spain. There were a number of Jews there. There were also number of Moors. Of both perhaps million. They were not wanted. Torquemada, Ferdinand V. aiding, saw to it that they went. Under penalty of accommodation, it was forbidden to supply them with any thing-to give them even bread. Al first they were permitted to leave the country, provided they left their pos sessions behind. The majority of thost who starved to death were, Llorentt says, garrotadosy y quemados-stranglet l and burned. The oven at Cordova il legendary. The condemned marched up in files.

A gentleman writing for the Scien- tifc American of the death of civil engineer in Florida from the bite of rattlesnake, remarks:
 Had the deceased been in the habit of carrying small vial of permangan- ate of potash about his person when on trips in the woods, and had he retained the presence of mind to use it immedi- ately after receiving the bite, no seri- ous results would have followed. Per sons who live in sections where veno- nous serpents are liable to be eneoun- tered should always carry this anti dote.

Federal Storage Reservoirs.
National Advocate.l

Those who look to the construction
 of federal irrigation works as the solu- tion of so many social and political
 problems find great encouragement anu
 hope for the final full adoption of the
 policy by the government in the recent
 report of Secretary of War Alger, recommending the construction of storage reservoirs in the west. Those who desire the water to make fertile the deserts and enable industrious la Dor to build homes upon them are not
 going to split hairs upon the ostensible or immediate purpose of their con struction. That they will aid naviga- tiou by regulating tlie Gow of the iiecrs is Q lesser, bot sufficient reason for 6 construction. Let them be con snueted to subsarve the lesser, and at the same time utilized to accomplish the greater purpose, and double tri- umph will have been achieved The construction of storage reservoirs, irri- gation works and flood protection works in the whole Mississippi valley is all really one great national problem which the government should seize hold upon as an entirety and devote its whole power to it's solution, having al ways in mind the great ultimate end f creating rural homes and bringing gradual emancipation to the wage earners of the country.
 Secretary Alger in his report says that:
 Reservoir construction in the arid region would reduce flood height of the Missouri river during the June rise, which is indispensable to the highest development of that section, falling more properly under the domain of the nation than of the state, and need not invoke government control of iYriga- tion works. The government should acquire full title and jurisdiction to any site it improves and full rights to the water. The total extent of a reser- voir system in the arid regicus which shall render available the entire fow- ing streams will not exceed l,161 ,000,- GOO cubic feet. If it's construction was to consume century in time it would represent an annual storage of about ll6, ,000, ,000,000 cubic feet or PIC, 800 ecre feet. At $5.37 per foot this would cost s1 ,432, ,7l6 perannuln. This amount, distributed among the seventeen arid States and Territories, gives an annual average expenditure in each of Ss4 277.

The editor of an exchange has dis covered that there is wide difference between the school books of the pres ent and those of the long ago. He says that when he first went to school he read his lessons in the first reader something like this: ''See the COW. Is not the COW nice? Can the COW run ? Can the COW run as fast as the horse?' But the latest up-to-date style of read ing it by the average kid is as follows: "Git onto the COW. Hain't She beaut? Sure, she's corker. Can the COW git move on herself? You bet she kin git move on herself. Can she hump it like de hoss? Nit, she ain't in it wid de hoss."

From the Nogales Oasis.l
 The American consul at Nogales, Sonora, was notified Thursday by Gov. Corral that forty Papagos from the United States had crossed the line and made an attack on the village of Fl Plomo, one hundred miles west of No gales on Wednesday. The attack lasted fifteen minutes. Up to the time the Oasis goes to press the full particulars of the attack could not be learned, but the supposed object of the Indians was to frighten the settlers and rob them of their cattle for the purpose of snug gling the cattle across the line into the United States.

spaIn's Naval Strength.
[From Harper's Weekly.l


 In order that timid souls may not be unduly perturbed by the stories that are printed in the daily papers con- corning the very powerful ships of the Spanish navy, it is well perhaps to say that the Spanish navy is not more than one-third as powerful as our own, and is probably not more than one-tenth as effective. The power of.navies can not be judged accurately by comparing lists of ships and armaments. The condition of the ships and guns must be reckoned with; and while the American ships are always in frst-class order, Spanish ships rarely are. There is the Alfonso XII, for instance, counted among the Spanish fleet as ef- fective vessels. As matter of fact, her boilers are in such a condition that she cannot move. The relative effec- tiveness of navies depends upon officers and crews-upon the human equation and in that respect the American navy is as good as any in the world, and the Spanish navy is one of the weakest.
