GERMANY AND THE ALLIANCE.
1T In very interesting To observe the

comment upon the suggestion Of an al

SnaniEh Colonial Policy.

Prof. Moses Colt Tyler, who occupies
the chair of American History at Cornell,
at recent lecture on pre-Revolutionary
colonial systems, speaking of that of
Spain, said: CAS- student of American
history, I find that the Spanish colonial
system has been and is one of unmitigated
horrors; that in all the record of American
colonial history, although the policies of
England. France and Holland were cruel
and oppressive in many ways, yet in that
OF Spain not one instance Of a benefit or
kindness on the part of the mother coun-
try toward here colonies can be found. A
recital of the barbarities practiced by her
upon her colonies would drive you from
the room in horror. I do not intend to
make war speech. In fact I deprecate
the policy of those hot-headed, talking pa
triots who are always ready to plunge US
into war and to join the home guards.
Yet when the efforts Of our noble Presi-
dent and of our wise statesmen toward
an honorable peace and a just settlement
of the Cuban question are exhausted and
war canot be averted, | do not see why
a swift and awful blow of retribution
should not be dealt this harsh, this cruel
this unrelenting nation, and why the last
vestige of her foothold should not be
blotted out of this hemisphere"
The students in attendance applauded at
the reference to our noble President"
and at the concluding words

Some Curious Publications.

Here are few items about newspapers
and magazines which may prove interest
ing: There is a paper in Turin which is
printed in luminous ink The smallest
newspaper known is published in MeXi-
co. 1t is called Ell Telegrama, and is
only four inches square. The Japanese
newspaper Shi Clio Shue Dan Kwai
Zasshi is printed on sheets Of different
colors. The first number of the Illus
trated Quadruple Constellation was
printed in 1858. The second number is
not due until 1858, as the promoters in
tend to issue but once every century.
The first sheet measured by 6 feet.
The Austrian Fortnightly Review prints
every article published in the native
language of the author. The Hora Fo-
cunda is a monthly periodical published
at Edinburgh for the blind. All engaged
in it's production are blind. The Imperial
Gazette of Berlin has the smallest circu-
lation of any daily in the world. Only
exclusive use of the Emperor.

Modern Wars Are Short.

Modern wars are quick, sharp and de-
cisive. For proof, read the history of the
japanese and the Chinese war or the
Franco-Prussian war or the Prussian war
against Austria. The time of the Japan
csc war against China is reckoned by
weeks France declared war on Prussia
July 10, 1870. The end practically came
September l. June 10, 1866, Prussia
asked Hanover, SaXony and Hesse-C assel
to withdraw from their support of Aus
tria. They refused. The next day the
Prussian army occupied their territory.
Eleven days later the Saxon army was
whipped at Langensalza. July 3 the bat
tie of Sadowa was fought and the war
was over. Modern equipments make such
wars as Spain fought with the Neither
lands or such wars as Carthage carried
on with Rome impossible. The time Of
those wars was reckOned by generations.
The time of the war between the United
States and Spain, if war comes, will prob
ably be reckoned by days.

Fish Story Time Again.


David Kelly Of Surry has had a queer
experience, and in consequence believes
that smelt will never die so long as it
is kept frozen stiff. Two weeks ago he
was fishing on Morgan's bay, where he
captured a dozen or more smelts, which
he left in a pail in his little shanty, ex-
pecting to return soon and resume work.
Being called to Boston to attend the
funeral of a relative he did not return for
several days. Then he took the pail filed
with snow and ice, in which were the
smelts, and placed it in a tub, pouring
over it a few gallons of warm water in
order to get the fish out whole. He then
went to the village, where he staid three
hours. When he returned every smelt
was alive and swimming around in the
tub.-Lewiston (Me) Journal.

A certain Edinburgh DOCTOR who was
something of a ventriloquist, happened to
want a boy in the surgery. He received
several applications; and it being neces-
sary that the boy should have strong
nerves, the doctor, when telling each appli-
cant what his duties were, in order to test
his nerves, would say, while pointing to
a grinning skeleton standing upright in a
corner. Part of your work would be to
feed the skeleton there; and. while you
are here, you might as we'll have a try
at it, A few of the lads consented to a
trial. and received a basin of hot Cruel
and spoon. While they were pouring
the hot liquid into the skull, the doctor
voice would appear to proceed from the
jaws of the skeleton, and would gurgle
out "Br-r-r-g r-huh-that's hot" This
was too much. and without exception the
lads dropped the basin and bolted. The
