Both of the Spanish torpedo-boat de-

There is an absolute lack of drugs in

There is cat story connected with the

traveller was writing his Through the

used often, from want of "A fiat surface.

floor. and one day the cat of the house,
which had conceived an extraordinary
liking for the great explorer and passed
most of her time in his rooms, went to
sleep on chart that was spread out on
the hearth rug. By and by the chart was
wanted and one of Stanley's assistants
was going to turn puss off it, when ''the
man who found Livingstone stopped
him.

A Missouri editor breaches an idea
which is worthy of consideration. He
advocates instruction in the public
schools on the subject of the use Of fire
and the care Of combustibles and exp1o-
sivcs, such as matches, kerosene, gaso-
lene, gunpowder, dynamite, various oils,
steam, ETC., and how to light lamps and
fires and take care of them. A country
in which the fre-loss ranges from $780,
100000 to $15O,OOO,OGO a year is GER
tainly in need of something of this sort.
A very large percentage Of the fire loss
is due to !, carelessness, and may be
avoided. Careful habits inculcated in
childhood will last through life 81

sador to This Country

Washington, D. c., June 23.-Russia' s
first ambassador to the United States,
Count de Cassfhi, was formally presented
to the President at IL o'clock today by
the secretary of state. The ambassador.
who was accompanied by his secretaries
and ,other attaches, was received in the
blue parlor of the executive mansion,
where he delivered to the President his
letter accrediting him to this government.
All were in complete court costume.
In the course of a brief address, the
ambassador spoke of the friendly rela-
tions that had always existed between the
Russian empire and the United States
and expressed the hope that these cordial
relations would continue for many years
to come. The ambassador laid special
stress and emphasis upon this part IF his
address. Altogether the speech was ex-
ceedingly friendly and cordial in tone and
did not contain sentence not in cn'ire
accord with a feeling, of perfect good will
and friendship. The Presidents reply
was in the same amicable vein. =
