We don't hear as much about the
ravages of progressive euchre in New
Haven as we did last winter, but we
presume it has not yet ceased it's fell
work here. 1t is doing terrible things
in some places. II have called at
houses in the morning where. the wo-
men had an awfully stale look on their
faces says Preacher Neal Of New
Brunswick, New Jersey. When I in
that they had only been playing cards
until a.. m. My experience in four
churches has taught me that progress
sive euchre is a dissipation Mr.. Neal
thinks that Christian people ought to
wash their hands of things to be found
in the low gambling dens, brothels,
gilded saloons and other places Of vice.
Preacher Neal is more than half
right. Christians ought not to play
cards with the gambling spirit, and
they ought not to play cards so much
as to unfit themselves for their Chris
tian duties. we suppose it is true that
progressive euchre has lowered the
tone Of Christianity in New Haven,
and 1t has seriously disturbed some
shepherds who have been unable to get
members of their 1ocks to desert the
euchre parties for the prayer meeting.

price. But the high price OF wheat has
melted the farmers to sell every bushel
of wheat they had and there is said to
be a scarcity, especially in Minnesota
and North Dakota, of wheat for seed
ing purposes. Those two States re-
qire about 1S,000,0 900 bushels for seeding
and it does not appear to be in the
hands of the farmers. The quality of
the wheat in both those States has
been deteriorating for several years
and If the farmers are this year obliged
to import their seed from Manitoba
there is prospect that it will result
in better grain than they have re-
Gently produced. 1t may be, there
fore, that the avidity of the farmers
to get the highest price for their wheat
may result to their advantage in the

THAT ULTIMATUM.

One of the war stories most stoutly
stuck to is that this government gave
an ultimatum to Spain declaring that
Spain must put down the insurrection
in Cuba by March /, under pain of in
reference by the United States 1t is
just as stoutly asserted that this story
is not true. Those who say it is UNI
true say that President Mckinley never
fixed any time within which such and
such things must be done to escape the
penalty Of interference or any other al
tentative. What he did do, very early
in his administration, was to ascertain
through confidential channels how long
the Spanish government expected to
take in suppressing the rebellion, and,
when assured that the whole thing
would be pushed to completion by the
opening Of the present spring, he de-
cided to POSTPONE any action on the
part of the United States until the
Spanish government had had a. chance
to fulfil it's promise.
According to this the President is not
bound to take action now, but can give
the Spaniards as much more time as
they want or as he wants to give them.
The whole matter Is still open. Per-
haps there will be no ultimatum, ex-
cept in the war newspapers,

A Modern eve Are seven"


/ met little girl one day,
She was s years old, she said;
A hat that was made In a wonderful way
Rose high above her head.
She had fin de steele air,
And she was richly clad;
Her eyes were black, her face was fair,
Her beauty made me glad.
Sisters and brothers, little maid,
How many may you be?''
"How many? Seven In all, she said,
And, wondering, looked at me.
"And where are they? / pray you tell"
She answered: Seven are we,
And two of us with mother dwell,
And two with pa and me.
"And two came into the family
Along with my second mother;
A boy and girl, so they, you see,
Are my sister and my brother"
"You say that you with your mother dwell
And two with your pa and you;
So far It's all as clear as bell,
But what Of the other two?''
Then did the little maid reply;
"Seven boys and girls are we;
Four and two are six, and I
Make the seventh, don't you see?'
''You've got 1t wrong, my little maid,
As sure as you're alive,
Subtract your new step mothers two,
And We have only FIVE"
"My ma and pa live far apart,
Each married to another;
My ma has two to cheer her heart,
My sister and my brother.
"My father took my sister Jane,
My brother John and me;
If you can count, 1t must be plain
Enough that he has three.
"Three and two are five, you know,
And then those other two
Make seven in all; now l must go,
Since I've made it plain to you"
"Those two your step-ma brought viii not

HE INVITED His FATE.

An incident that pointed strong
moral took place on Chestnut street on
Saturday afternoon. The street was
thronged with promenaders, and the
magnificent st. Bernard dog which a
young woman was leading attracted
much attention. Near Thirteenth
street the woman entered store, leav-
Ing the dog outside. The dog was such
magnificent beast that several people
stopped in admiration, and the dog act
ually seemed to smile at the attention
he was receiving. About this time two
glddy youths, who We're followed by a
mischievous fox terrier came along
and paused to see what was attracting
the throng. The terrier, which was but
mite beside the st. Bernard, rushed
in and began snarling at the big dog.
The noble looking beast paid not the
slightest attention, and the youths au-
dibly commented on the big ones cow
ardice. When the terrier began snap
ping at his feet, however, the big one
gravely raised one paw and pushed his
tormenter away. This angered the ter
rier, and it's anger was fed by the
youths, who told Jip, as they called
him, to 60 in and shake the big cow
ard" lip went in and set his teeth in
the st. Bernard's leg. Suddenly the bic
dog lost his forbearance, and in q
thrice lip was in its massive jaws
There was a crunching sound, a couple
of shakes and Jip was cast aside dead
The st. Bernard then resumed his
place unconcernedly, and the young
men gathered UP their dead terrier and
went off to make complaint at the City
Hall.-From the Philadelphia Record.

THE "MILK-sICK" IN GEORGIA.
A Malady Peculiar to the State That
Has Raff1ed investigations


1.-THE milk sick up in North Georgia
is terrible thing" said Turnkey Terry
at the police barracks yesterday even
ing.
THE what?" asked the new super
numerary, who used to sell patent
hairoil.
1.-THE milk-sick," replied the turnkey,
"the sickness caused by the milk from
cows becoming impure. And it is not
only bad disease, but I havae never
heard of man being able to tell what
made the milk impure
You amt talking about a. weed
which the cows eat, anad which some
times gets mixed with the clover?''
asked a call officer. who used to run a
farm.
ooh, no. the turnkey replied, with q
notion of Impotence, don't you think
know the weed you are talking
about? The milk-sick have refer
ence to is only known in three or four
counties in Georgia and on only a few
spots in those counties. ! have heard
of it in Union, FAnnin, Towns and
Rabun counties. III the milk is made
impure by any sortsof a weed or vege-
| table the people have never been able
to find it out. All Of a sudden every
| person who drinks the milk is made VI
olently ill, and have heard of few
| deaths from 1t. Strange to say, the
| cows are not sick at all. Farmers have
| tried to ascertain what it was the cows
| eat that hurt the milk, and now a
great many OF them believe that 1t is a
| gas which rises from the ground, which
the cows inhale. Whenever a place Is
located which Injuries the milk, the
| spot is fenced off, and it stays off all
| the while. The fences are strong and
high, and it is worth mans life to
| touch the rails"
| Can you see anything wrong about
| the MILK" asked the supernumerary.
| mo; and what's more. you can't
taste anything wrong with the milk.
1t looks all right, sandsit tastes all
| right, but just as soon as you swallow
it you become awfully nauseated and
you will stay i'll for days at a time. I
| have seen whole families keel over at
| the same time just as IL somebody had
| shot them. The reason people think 1T
| is gas that the cows breathe Is be-
| cause on number Of occasions the
/ milk has been contaminated with the
i poison when the cows We're kept all
day where there wasn't a speck Of any
| thing green or growing for the cows to
eat. Milk-sick is looked upon In the
counties / have mentioned as yellow
fever is in New Orleans and other sea-
| port towns Just let it get out that a
place has been discovered where the
cows get their milk poisoned and you
| win see the whole settlement rush out
and go to building a afence araound

Ever had the milk-sick yourself?"
asked the station sergeant.
"Only once. I went to visit neigh
Dor and I drank two cups Of fresh
milk, and five minutes afterward
thought my time had come to bid the
world good-by. You may talk about
seasickness, but I would rather roll in
ship in q storm for year than &c

BUSINESS.

Business Is business, and it Is going
actively and cheeringly on in spite Of
the yellow extras. The iron trade is
lively, and one of the items is five thou
sand tons Of steel rails for a railroad
in Alaska. The Pacific coast is hum
ming with the Quitting trade with the
Klondike. Business at the Northwest
Is notably brisk. The spring trade has
begun earlier than usual in the central
western States, where the transactions
in dry goods, shoes, groceries and agri-
cultural implements are on large
scale. Farmers. 1t is observed, are not
only paying off mortgages more rapid
ly than for years past, but they are
ly than usual throughout the West.
The silk industry is more prosperous
than for years past, and the imports
of raw material are at the rate of 100
per cent. increase over those of $780,
corn anu CUtlOu dfS DcluS TAKEN III
enormous quantities for export Stocks
of cotton goods have been reduced by
the strike, the demand for these goods
has increased, and, taken altogether,
the cotton trade is in a much better
situation than q few months ago, or
even at the beginning of the present
year.
Clearing houses last week made pay
ments no less than fifty-seven per
cent. larger than in the same week last
year, and undoubtedly the largest ever
known. They exceed even those of 1892
by 1919 per cent. Railroad earnings
are twelve per cent. larger than last
year, and S1a per cent. larger than in
1892 The railroads are moving more
tonnage than ever before.
So the business prospect pleases and
there are only the Cuban complication
and the silver question to disturb us.
But there is always a fly in the ONT
ment, and sometimes two, so let us feel
good until the days come when we can
feel no pleasure in the condition and
prospect of business.

new cuts are being offered, and will be

Braid in FriIIs and CurIlcues.

Soutache braid finished at the edge
with cord that can be pulled and so
frill the braid as If it were on a draw
ing string, is one of the novelties most
in demand especially in narrow widths
and bright plaid coloring. This braid
is drawn into a full little frill, and
row on row of them are set on for
finish of cloth gowns. In many cases
little frill as described follows all the
intricate windings Of the fiat braid on
the gown in some fancy design. This
idea of finish is good one, and will
freshen up an old skirt wonderfully,

IBSEN'S QUIET REBUKE.

No man ever was so loath as Ibsen to say anything regarding what he had himself written, William H. Scho- field tells us in the Atlantic. It is thus he shields himself from the importuni- ties of curious travellers and interview CTS who plague him beyond endurance. Even at court balls, which he some times attends, however, he is not rid of the impOrtunate; and on one oc- casion German lady received one of those quiet rebukes to impertinence which have given him we'll merited reputation for reticent reserve Hardly had she been presented to him before she broke out into expressions of en- thusiastic admiration, and finally wound up with the question which Ibsen has heard so often that he is now tired of it, Do you mind telling me, Dr. Ibsen, what you meant by Peer Gynt?"
 A dead silence reigned for mo- ment in the little group surrounding the old man, and I expected him to change the subject without answering the query. But no; he finally raised his head, threw back his shock of white hair, adjusted his glasses, looked quizzically into the woman's eyes, and then slowly drawled out:
 "Oh. my dear madam, when I wrote Peer Gynt only our Lord and I knew what I meant; and as for me, I have entirely forgotten"

QUEER STAGE BUSINESS.

So far as we know, nobody ever commented on the practice of the el- der Booth in Richard Ill.," who when the time came for him to fight Rich mond, walked to a side scene and re- ceived a sword from an invisible at tendant. This frank conventionality is not unpleasing; Richard was there to fight, and how he got his sword was an inconsiderable trifle no man need note in that moment of supreme ef- fort.
 Junius Brutus Booths simplicity here is far preferable to Charles Kean's conduct in calling to the actor who played the porter, and who was crossing the stage at a rehearsal of Macbeth, to answer the dread knock ing at the gate. Don't hide that key in your hand" cried Kean; "as if it were an ordinary key! Let everybody see it; it's a key of the period!"- From "The Conventions of the Drama by Brander Matthews in the April Scribner's.
