foreign newspapers in favor OF peace

declared that If such q suggestion were

CONTRADICTORY REPORT.
LONDON. June 12.-The Vienna cor
respondent OF the Observer says:
t1Private advices received here show
that the situation in Spain is such thai
peace is speedily and earnestly desired.
The finances of the country are threat
ened, and famine the intrigues of
the Carlists and Republicans render
peace imperative.
The Spanish government is now
drawing up a memorandum to the
powers requesting their friendly inter-
vention. I learn from diplomatic
sources that France and Austria are
prepared to accede to the request;
while Russia and Germany disapprove
of intervention. The enormous in
crease in the Russian grain trade since
the war began has probably influenced
Russia's attitude. On the whole. the
probability of European Intervention is
most remarkable" r4.
SPANS FRIENDS LOSING HOPE.
LONDON. June 1.-THE Paris cor
respondent Of the Spectator says:
"Spain's most steadfast friends here
are losing hope. Her candid friends OF
the press deplore the obstinacy with
which she accepted war when totally
unprepared. and declare that to con-
time fighting when the cause is hope

A TEST FOR HORsEFLESH.


Put Even Chemist Cannot Always Rec
ognize 1t.
"People are apt to jump at conclu-
sions, said a chemist in speaking of
the latest notable murder case. "Chem-
istry is a very nice science, but it is
possible to make some sad plumbers in
applying it to law and evidence. There
are certain things you can prove by it
if you are sure of your premises and
certain other things that you cannot.
This thing of trying to prove good
deal by chemistry calls to mind the beef
extract case that gave packer in this
city considerable uneasiness.
Somebody got hold of his beef ex-
tract and claimed that it was made from
horsefesh, and it was proved by analy-
sis-that is, to the satisfaction of the
man that analysed it. The ordinary test
for horsefesh, according to the authori-
ties, is glycogen. This is a substance
that, speaking in general way, is
found in horsefesh, but does not exist
in beef, and it was shown that this par
ticular extract contained glycogen.
1.-The packer came to US in some dis
tress of mind for way out of the diff
Guilty He said his extract was made Of
nothing but beef, and he wanted US to
help him prove it, and we did SO to his
relief and to the satisfaction Of the
health officers. We demonstrated that,
while all ordinary piece Of beef did not
contain glycogen, it existed in the
heart, liver and blood of cattle, and
some Of each of these might have en-
tered into the making Of the beef ex-
tract. The result was thaS the chemist
who haG arrived at such sweeping con-
illusions from the 6sst sest had to back

DIPLOMACY.

The Astute Mayor Knew How to Help
Along His Own Town.
A number Of indignant citizens had
filed into the Office of the mayor of
small but progressive town.
"We called" said the spokesman of
the party, ''to see about your announce
ment that you would fight to the bitter
end the proposal of those two railroad
companies to lay tracks so as to con-
meet. :"
"Well, was the reply, "what Of it?''
"You don't deny saying it. then?"
"Certainly not.
''And yet you call yourself wide
awake man, competent to look after the
interests of an ambitious community
like this?''

Don't you realize that the junction
Of those two roads is one Of the best
things that could happen to this city,"
Certainly.
"And yet you are doing your best to
stop it?''
The mayor reflected for few min
utes and then said:
Gentlemen, will you keepa secret?"
eff it's nothing detrimental to the
city's interests.

that work done as you are, but you

disapprove of it won t change them, but
it will have one efect-it'll put them

The new ribbons are very attractive
and are evidently going to be more than
ever feature of dress trimming. There
are gorgeous plaids and the most fasci-
mating array of stripes, up and down
and across in the Roman fashion. Three
or four shades of one color are striped
together, with possibly velvet stripe
on one edge, and then again there are
many stripes Of contrasting colors blend
ing together with bright, pretty effect
Oriental brocaded ribbons add to the
variety, and SO do glace ribbons with
fancy borders. There are uncut velvet
ribbons with the ribs running cross
wise, some in lovely colors, the newest
being clear shade of purple blue.

ldr. werkenday's Remarks ON New York
Apartment Bathrooms.

hr. werkenday's Remarks ON Now York
Apartment Bathrooms.
IA long and bitter experience in
apartments forces me to observe" said
Mr.. Werkenday, shivering as he hoped
on the oilcloth Of the bathroom with
his bare feet, that the architects who
plan the ordinary fiat Of commerce do
not battle. Idon't judge this from their
appearance, because they are particu-
larly clean and nice lot of men. But I
cannot believe that any one with the
least respect for the Importance Of the
bathroom could treat it with such ar
chiteotural stepfatherliness.
"It always is showed away In q dark
corner as far from the bedrooms and as
near the parlor or dining room as posi-
BILE. 1t always is dark and ventilated
by an airshaft up which there blows
perpetually dismal draft that has
something on it's mind and groans about
it all the time. It ought to have some
thing on it's mind, for it is sure kill
er. Then, Of course, the bathroom, be-
ing the only place in the house where
one takes off all his clothes and gets
wet all over, is the place which most
frequently has no heating appliances
"Again, why do SO many architects
build the washstand in the hallway in
stead of in the bathroom, where it be-
longs? don't know whether they think
that man enjoys taking his bath in
sections or whether they act on the
theory that he ought to take it gradual
~, preparing himself for Ito hathtab
by degrees.
II asked an architect once why he
did it. We'll, said he, we hardly ever
do differently except in private houses. >
elias only the privateer, then, as the
Europeans call him, the right to take a
complete bath in one room, or has evo-
luton produced species of fatters who
naturally are incapable of doing it?
81 suppose that the smallness of bath.
tubs is explained by the lack of room.
Of course every flathouse bathtub is too
small for any one except an infant, and
l have noticed, not without some awe,
that in each new fiat into which we
move the bathtub is smaller than it was
in the one preceding. AS am growing
stouter each year, a genuine misfortune
for one whose finances make a third or
fourth fiat necessary, am sure that if
we make two or three more moves we
will, Oh this scale of bathtub decrease,
find a bathtub into which I will not be
able to get at all. New York Press.
