Cain put up a great fight and, according to tho
judgment of many of the spectators, should
have received the decision. George Schweigler

Al Allen of New York and Joe Bateman of

bout Of ten rounds at catch weights. This pair
was substituted in the place OF Jimmy Deuer

One of our neighbors Uncle Nate, as we call him, was greatly bothered by a whipporwill that came nearly every night and sat on a rock in his back yard and sang his lovo song, or whatever it is, until Uncle Nate was nearly wild. One night he lay awake, and, as he said, stood it just as long as he could, when he got up, and, taking down the old gun that was loaded with 8 fox charge, he went to the back door, and, drawing a bead on the rock, which he could dimly see i'll the faint starlight, blazed away. Then, ill the pleasing consciousness of 8 good deed well done, he again sought his couch.
 In the morning his first care was to reload the old gun, as there was no tell ing when it would be needed. After this task was finished he started for the back yard to gloat over the mangled re- mains of his tormentOr, but what were bis horror and disgust to find that in- stead of holding on the rock he had completely riddled his wife's best wash tub, which was turned bottom up about four feet from the rock.
 The disappointment was bad enough. but when Aunt Hannah came out and saw the ruin, Uncle Nate afterward de- clared, it was worse than the whippoor- will, and he made break for the barn, his usual haven of refuge Ill such cases Forest and Stream.

THE CARIBBEAN.
Captain mahan on the Strategic Impse-
 tance of the Land Girt Sea.


 Causes superfeially very diverse, but essentially the same in that they arose from and still depend upon lack of To- cal political capacity, have brought tho Mediterranean and the Caribbean, in our own time, to similar conditions, re- garded as quantities of interest i'll the sphere of international relations. What ever the intrinsic value of the two bod ies of water, i'll themselves or in their surroundings whatever their present contributions to the prosperity or to the culture of mankind their conspicuous characteristics now are their political and military importance, ill the broad. est sense, as concerning not only the countries that border them, but tho world at large. Both are land girt seas: both are links in q chain of communiea- ton between an east and q west h both the chain is broken by an isthmus Both are of contracted extent whenl compared with great oceans, and in consequence of these common features both present i'll an intensified form the advantages and the limitations, politi. cal and military. which condition the' influence of sea power.
 This conclusion Is notably true of the Mediterranean, as Is shown by its his tory. It is even more forcibly true of the Caribbean, partly because the con- tour of its shores does not as i'll tho Mediterranean peninsulaS, thrust tho power of the land so far and so sustain edly into the sea; partly because, from historical antecedents already alluded to, in the character of the first colo nists and from the shortness of the time the ground has been ill civilized occupation, there does not exist in the Caribbean or i'll the gulf of Mexico apart from the United States-any land power at all comparable to those great continental states of Europe whose strength lies i'll their armies far more than in their nayies
 So far as national inclinations as dis tinet from the cautious actions of states man, can be discerned in the Mediter- ranean at present the sea powers. Great Britain, France and Italy, arc opposed to the land powers, Germany, Austria and Russia, and the latter dominate ac- ton. It cannot be so ill any near future ill the Caribbean. The Caribbean is pre- eminently the domain of sea power.- Captain A. T. Mahan, U. $. N., in Harper's Magazine.

The Decline of Man.

There seems to be some uncertainty as to the size of our great mother. The French orientalist, Henrion, member of the academy, however, fixed it with a precision satisfactory at least to him. self. He gives the following table of the relative heights of several eminent historical personages;
 Adam was precisely 123 feet inches high.
 Eve was precisely 118 feet g. inches high.
 Noah was precisely 103 feet high
 Abraham was precisely 27 feet high.
 Moses was precisely 5 feet high.
 Hercules was precisely feet high.
 Alexander was precisely feet high.
 Julius Caesar was precisely 5 feet high.

The temperature of the atmosphere cools, on all average, about one degree for every 300 feet that we ascend or warns at the same rate as we descend.
 The mean temperature at the north pole is and at the equator between SC and 90 degrees. We can, therefore, get into temperature one degree colder for every 70 or 80 miles that we trayel north. and in a temperature one degree warmer for every TO or 80 miles that we travel south. Philadelphia Times.

The Chicagoan was in the midst of his reading, bristling with wrath, when the husband of q we'll known actress entered the room. A framed portrait of the actress taken several years ago, stood on an easel in a corner. The husband walked up to the picture, and after contemplating it for a few minutes said:

Nothing but all apology would satisfy him, and he made a dramatic exit from the gallery, saying that the westerner would hear from him again.
