possibly prices of few native pro

United States, the difference come.
nowhere near equalling the wide dis.
parity of wages. Moreover, in com
parison of this sort the quality of tn.
living must be considered as well a.
the nominal cost. Thus lower rent.

We do not have to search long for
the explanation of the tremendous
spread of the English language dur
ing the last one hundred years, says
the Atlanta Constitution. There is
something in the temperament of both
Britons and Americans which makes
them superior to any other race of peo-
pie on the globe in wideawake progress
siveness. While Great Britain on the
one hand has been engaged in plant
ing colonies i'll all parts of the globe,
the United States on the other hand
has been engaged in subduing the vast
domain of the North American cont.
nent. While Great Britain has car.
risd the English language into foreign
quarters, placing it upon the lips of
millions, the United States with the
proffer of splendid opportunities held
out to the discontented spirits of the
old world has succeeded in attracting
millions into her ample borders, en-
dowing them with her language as
we'll as with the fruits of liberty. In
spite of the decline which other ma
tions have experienced, the two great
English-speaking nations have forged
their way to the front, causing every
obstacle to succumb to their invinci-
BILE progress. At the present time
they carry on the great bulk of the
worlds commerce, and represent the
major portion of its wealth and enter
prise. Such being true, there seems
to be abundant warrant for the state
ment that the worlds destiny, in a
large measure lies within the keeping
of the two great branches of the An
glo-Saxon race.

The population of Cuba increased

1t would appear from all accounts
that NJ. Chacot's enterprise of the
manufacture of spiders web silk is
to be pursued on large scale, a fac
tory in Paris having been taken for
the purpose. Here the spiders will
be kept and worked at regular hours,
and, when one OF them is used up, he
will be fed and helped back to condi-
tion again, while another will take his
place on the bobbin. An expert, fully
acquainted with the habits of the in
sect, will be in control OF the spider
department of the factory, the care of
them, feeding, housing, etc. In OBJ
tanning the requisite supply, if the
latter exceeds what is necessary for
the industry, experiments will be
made with view to ascertaining which
of the different varieties produces the
finest quality of silk, and in this way
those not favored with fine web will
be weeded ont. Trials will likewise
be made with different diets, in order
to determine whether or not it is pos
sible to train the spider to give forth
web that is an Improvement on the
ordinary product-the expectation be-
ing that perseverance in this respect
will result in securing quality of
silk hitherto unsurpassed.

One Reason why Cervera Lost.

From the news columns of the New York
World: With the command to advance
came the order, "Open the stores of wine
and brandy" Officers and men drank
freely therefrom. The Spanish officers
drew their pistols and threatened instant
death to the first man who flinched or hesi-
tated in his work. In the stokehole, 12O
degrees Of heat, half-drunken officers stood
near half-drunken stokers, and the first
man who gave way to fatiguea eand heat and
the effects OF the cognac was shot in his
tracks. On the gun-decks the sun beamed
down on men whose stomachs were filed
with the fiery liquid and made them half
mad. They tore their clothing from off
their backs, cursing and shrieking because
Of the strain and liquor. Thus nerved
with liquor, the Spaniards prepared for the
desperate struggle. The Americans went
from their prayers to battle.
From the news columns Of the New York
Journal: The Spanish gunners were drunk.
This is freely admitted by the prisoners.
Indeed, some of them still show the effects
of the debauch that gave them the des.

Inebriety OF Young Men.

DR.. George H. McMichael, OF Buffalo,
contributes suggestive paper to the
Quarterly Journal OF Inebriety, in which
he states that there is some evidence that
inebriety amongst American young men is
increasing, partly attributable. he thinks,
to the club life now fashionable among
the wealthy classes. He believes that the
desire for alcoholic drinks is much more
easily acquired between the ages of seven
teen and twenty-five than in later life, and
thinks that III inebriety has, up to now.
been comparatively uncommon in youths
it has been because the customs of society
have made indulgence comparatively
difficult;' but he adds that "'these are rap
idly disappearing, If they have not already
disappeared, and drunkenness among
young men seems to be increasing" Sure
ly there is an urgent call in this for re-
vival of the old-time method of pledge
signing and total abstinence crusade
among the young.
