THE SPANISH SITUATION.

The latest dispatches say that the
Spanish naval Authorities are about
to appointR commission to investi-
gate the blowing up OF the Maine
The Spanish press has made a great
many complaints about the investiga-
ton now in progress and claim it is
one-sided. They think third party

cation.

Maine, but are meeting with poor
success as the sbi is 80 badly shat

tell what destroyed her.

authoritative these vessels will soon

law would prevent it.

She Was No Longer Sentative About
o. Her Lnrirc Feet.
They were in a st. Louis shoe store
the other day, says the Sunday Re-
public, and this is what was overheard.
The speaker was an elegantly dressed
woman with n smiling face. She was
large woman and the shoe clerk was
looking for comfortable shoe for her
You know I have such long feet"
She said to her friend. "The size of
my feet was great trial to me. The
children at home always leased me,
and 1 often cried because they were so
ugly. At II my feet were as large as
they are now. ....
IAN old neighbor of ours, who lived
on an adjoining farm, was something of
a wag. He was more of hunter than
n farmer, and he often leased us chill
dren. He would rather talk to us than
to our elders. ... ..,
"One day he said to me: The cows
are glad when they see you walking
round, Molly
"'Why" said I. -.- a-s
Because when they look at your
feet tEey know their, hide will never
have to be cut. 1t will take whole hide
to make a shoe for you.'"

He Hears 1t All.

We clip the following from an ex-
change: Editors are the first to hear
Of gossip, indiscretion of men and
women, things unfit for publication,
intrigues, clandestine meetings, night
buggy rides, young girls gone astray,
flirtations with married women,
amours of married men-and in fact
all neighborhooI scandals. Editors
generally know all the naughty do
ings in community, no matter how
secret. If one half they hear was
published, divorce suits would fol-
low in some cases, social ostracisn in
others, shotguns and gore, desolate
homes, imprisonment, lynchinG,
shame and hypocracy OF life and it is
wonder that he believes in any,
thing on earth or in the hereafter.
People who abuse the editor the loud
est sometimes owe their standing in
society to his forbearance.

A Wonderful Instruments.

The invention Is announced of the
phonendoscope, an instrument of
wonderful value in studying the con-
dition and internal organs of the
body.
1t is declared by physicians to be a
tremendous advance on the other
stothoscope. The phoneudoscope
conveys to the physician the sounds
made by the internal organs, thus
telling him whether they are healthy
or not.
BY its aid he can not only ascertain
the condition of an orhan, but trace
its shape. 1t has been discovered
that with this ininrument the stonI-
ach assumes different form when
full of the different kinds of foou and
drink. The rapidity with which var
lous kinds Of food and drink are di-
gested can also be studied accurately
with the phonendoscope. The in
strument is the invention of Drs.
Blauchi and Badezi of France.

An exchange says: A good town
is one in which the miners spend
money with the home merchants, the
)aboror spends the money earned
with the local tradesmen and the
feeling and good will of every citi-
zen is i'll sympathy with their in.
dustries, where every article that
can he bought of the local dealer
and manufacturer. This is the spirit
of reciprocity between business men,
merchants, tradesmen, printers, la
borers, and it makes things lively,
too. The town prospers and grows,
and above all things it is pleasant
place to live in.
