Gladstone Fooled Them.

On one occasion two gentlemen, in
vited as guests ct Il table where Mr..
Gladstone was expected, madc 4 wager
that they would start conversation On
a subject about which even Mr. Glad
stone would know nothing. To accom-
plish this end they read up an ancient
magazine article en- some unfamiliar
subject connected with Chinese manu-
features. When the favorable opportu-
nifty came, the topic was started, and
the two Conspirators watched with
amusement the growing interest in the
subject which Mr.. Gladstone's face be-
trayed. Finally he joined in the con
versation, and their amusement was
turned into gnasbinG of teeth-to speak
figuratively-when Mr.. Gladstone said,
"Ah, gentlemen, perceive you have

Cuba During the Rainy Season.

Gen. Geo. w. Wingate, an officer OF
the army, who has large interests in
Cuba and has spent many years OF his
lie there, has this to say VI the cli-
mate Of Cuba at this time OF the year:
During the. rainy season it rains
at least once, and very often three or
four times a day. The rain comes
without any warning-in bucketfuls.
Between rains the sun shines out
about 100 degrees Fair. in the sun
and 9S to 100 degrees 10 the shade
The effects Of the heavy rains, alter
mated with great heat, is to give the
unacclimatcd man y chill. In the
cane fields shelters are erected to
which the negroes run when the sud
den rain comes down.
yellow fever would not do US so
much harm. 1t belongs in the cities,
and we could probably beat it by
cleaning up, same as Ben Butler did
at New Orleans. But yellow jack is
only one VI the Cuban fcvers. Rain
and heat create decomposition and
Wiasma. The soil OF Cuba is rich
black loan, produced by the decay OF
vegetable matter, No M can sleep
on it in safety. Spaniards and Cubahs
intheir campaigning carry hammocks.
No unacclimated troop could possibly
campaign in Cuba during the rainy
season without suffering enormous
losses through d~yseptery, cauntry
fever, broken bone fever, and the
other forms Of malaria. They have
had some cases Of beri.beri Qike elc-
pl~antiasis) in Cuban cities lately, but
l don't know that they would cut apy
figure" y

For the Democrat-star
Character Building.

1t is the character that marks ones
identity. Let us SEE to 1t that we
build well day by day. ln this lie
character is being formed for eternity,
shall 1t be for endless happiness or
endless woe? Character is that force
within us, that ON the one hand exalts
and builds up all the virtues, or %
the contrary, dcbases human nature
to the level Of the brute, yea let me
say, to the level Of demon nature. VIC
will ouly speak II character IN It's
MODEST aspect, and beg our young
people to build for eternity. Let each
ono realize that his soul bears the
divine impress, and must live on after

nobility and stability, firmly compact
cd, must form the cornerstone Of true

The idea that the war with Spain
would be fought to a finish In two or
three months has been dissipated
within the past ten days. Naval and
military experts differ as TO the
length Of the war, but the majority
af them Ngree that 1t is not gong to
be a small affair Of five or six weeks
duration. Commenting on the fact,
the Chicago News says: admiral
Ghcrardi thinks the war will last 3
years. Gen. Sickles thinks that one
year will end II. Whether 1t Is to be
one year. or three, there should be no
relaxation in the effort to increase
and strengthen our navy. The more
formidable 1t can be made the shorter
the conflict will be and the easier the
Cuban and Philippine problems may
be settled"
