On Board u. S. S. Fern, Key West,
Fla, April 10.-When leaving Ha-
vana yesterday afternoon Consul Gen
eral Lee turned to veteran Consular
Clerk Dolz, who has been in the Ha-
yana consulate longer than any one
remembers, and said ''Dolz, look at
those flags He pointed to the
masses of yellow and red bunting all
jubilantly futtering in officially religi-
Gus honor Of Holy Saturday every
stick of Havana afoat or ashore had
its colors. 'sDolz,'' said Lee, ''look
at those flags; look close at them.
You'll never see them again in Cuba.
This saying is Gen. Lee real heart
felt view Of the present situation.
He awaited the compensating moment
for two years Of butchery and of star
vation.l z soldier, he saw, from the
first Havana day, the awful massacre
quick and slow, by sword or by hun
ger, Of non-combatant Cubans which
in Cuba has dishonored the name Of
war and Of civilization. He once said:
Yes, I have sometimes almost lost
heart. The struggle promised to be
so long drawn out as to only weary the
American people. I thought action
impossible at times.
When personally warm and officially
cool, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee saw MORO
astern. he felt like one freed from a
fetid cell.
When he left foul Havana harbor
and its bowling ruf6ans and its monu-
mental coffin of murdered Americans.
and when he first realized that neither
he nor any one was the official repre-
sentative of the United States to
Spanish Cuba, in short, when Fitz-
hugh Lee realized that finally the
plain people Of the United States had,
through the reluctant but still obedi-
ent government, refused to longer be
even officially the friends of the filth,
the ignorance and barbarity Of Span
ish rule in Cuba, then Fitzhugh Lee
of Virginia became the happiest man
on land or sea, and he said so.
Remember that this soldier and
gentleman has seen and has been fore
ed to officially countenance two years
Of miserable, sordid, bloody national
crime.
Remember that this proud man has
for "a months endured Spanish aggra-
yation and insults on one side and
American governmental apathy and
shameful pusillanimity on the other,
and you can appreciate what l heard
the same man whisper to himself when
Havana was thing passed, ''At last,
thank God. .
This was the yindication and reward
of official patience and personal mis-
cry, and it is here printed so that the
American people may know what their
representative has borne from condi-
tion Of affairs at their doors which has
required the martyrdom Of 266 sailors
TO make them understand itand to act.

L.rr.,. Canal In tho world. =

The Chenab irrigation canal, in the
northwest provinces, India, is 200 feet
broad. 1t is doubtless the largest
canal in the world. It's main channel
Is $50 miles long. while the principal
branches have an aggregate length OF
1000 miles, and the village branches
will extend, when completed, for an
additional 1000 miles. Apart from
irrigation, the longest canal in the
world is that which extends from tho
frontier of China to st. Petersburg,
and is A472 miles in length. Another
Russian canal, from Astrachaa to st.
Petersburg, is 1884 miles long; both
the last-named canals were begun by
Peter the Great. The Bengal Canal,
connecting with the River Ganges,
completed in 1854, is 900 miles in
length, and cost 1000, 900 sterling,
or f22OO per mile. The total length
of canals in India for irrigating S,000,-
600 acres is calculated at IA, 900 miles.
The Canal du Midi, connecting the
Atlantic with the Mediterranean, is
148 miles long. The Oaiedonian Carai
in Scotland has length of sixty miles.
The Suez Canal is eighty eight niles
long, and the Erie 800; the Ohio
Canal. 1872; the Miami and Erie, 37A;
the Manchester ship canal, 35A miles.

Plague bacilli, it appears from the
elaborate report of the German gov
ernment commission to Bombay, IN
most cases enter the system through
small wounds or scratches, and the
disease is mostly confined to dwellers
in poor and insanitary localities. The
bacilli are very quickly killed by ordi-
nary antiseptics, and heating serum
inoculations gave little protection in
the Bombay epidemic, but Haffkine's
method proved very successful. This
consists in incubation with the prod
ucts of bacilli culture. .Toa virulent
growth of plague bacilli was added
carbolic acid solution OF essence OF
mustard, destroying the microbes, but
leaving products having remarkable
protective power. An even better
vaccine resulted from heating the
plague cultures to $50 degrees Fahrn-
heit for an hour.

How to Tell a Good Banana.

When you are buying bananas never
purchase the long thin ones unless you
want fruit that will pucker your mouth.
No matter how we'll ripened these thin
bananas may appear to be, they will
always be found both sour and acrid.
This is because the bunch which con-
tanned them was picked too soon. The
banana grows faster at first in length.
When it has reached its full develop
ment in that direction, it suddenly be-
gins to swell, and in few DAYS will
double in girth. It is at the end Of
this time that it begins to ripen nat1r-
ally, and the effort of the banana i'm
porter is to have the fruit gathered ut
the last possible moment, and yet be-
fore the ripening has progressed even
enough to tinge the bright green of
the fruit with yellow. A difference
of twenty-four hours on the trees at
this time will make difference in the
weight of the fruit OF, perhaps, twenty
five per cent, and all the difference in
its final flavor, between apuckery sour
and the sweetness and smoothness
which are characteristic of the, ripe
fruit 70 get the bananas to our
market in good condition requires fast
steamers, which must be provided
with ventilation, and other means OF
keeping the fruit from ripening toe
fast in the hold. Much of the finest
fruit does ripen in few days of pas
sage, and this is sold to hucksters fol
street sale.

The MysterY of Sleep.

The sleep of human being, If We
are not too busy to attend to the mat
ter, always evokes certain feeling Of
awe. Go into a room where person
is sleeping, and it is difficult to resist
the sense that one is in the presence
of the central mystery of existence.
People who remember how constantly
they see old Jones asleep in the club
library will smile at this; but look
quietly and alone at even old Jones,
and the sense of mystery will soon de-
velop. 1t is no good to says that sleep
is only moving" because it looks like
death. The person who is breathing
so loudly as to take away all thought
of death causes the sense of awe quite
as easily as the silent sleeper who
hardly seems to breathe. We see
death seldom, but were it more famil-
lar we doubt if corpse would inspire
SO much awe as the unconscious and
sleeping fgure-a smiling, irrespon-
sible doll of flesh and blood, but q
doll Ito whom in second may be
recalleda a proud, active, controlling
consciousness which will ride his bod
ily and his mental horse with hand
of iron, which will force that body to
endure toll and misery, and will make
that mind, now wandering in paths Of
fantastic folly, grapple with some great
problem, or throw all its force into
the ruling, the saving, or the destruc-
tion of mankind. The corpse is only
so much bone, muscle and tissue.
The sleeping body is the house which
a quick and eager master has only left
for an hour or so. Let any one who
thinks sleep is no mystery, try to OBJ
serve in himself the process by which
sleep comes, and to notice how and
when and under what conditions he
loses consciousness. He will, OF
course, utterly fail to put his finger
on the moment of sleep coming, but
in striving to get as close as he can to
the phenomena of sleep, he will real
ize how great is the mystery which he
is trying to fathom.-London Specta-

How She Became Noted.

As every one knows, Lady AudleyS
Secret was the novel which lifted Miss
Braddon into fame. 1t may not be so
generally known that the author had
so little confidence In her work as to
bring it out In an obscure serial, Robin
Goodfellow.
The story Of the story Is romance
in itself. Mr.. Maxwell had started, in
more or less rivalry to Dickens first
periodical, the magazine called Robin
Goodfellow. DR.. Mackey was Its ed
itor and Lascelles Wraxall was his Sec
ond in command. There had been some
difficulty in regard to the opening nov
el, in consequence of which the new
periodical was on the eve Of postpone
ment, serious contretemps in the face
of its extensively advertised date Of
publication. The day before decision
was necessary Miss Braddon heard of
the difficulty and offered to write the
story.
But even IL you were strong enough
tc fill the position" was the publishers
reply, there is no time"
How long could you give me?' ask
ed the aspiring authoress.
Until tomorrow morning."
"At what time tomorrow morning."
"If the first installment were on my
breakfast table tomorrow morning."
he replied, indicating by his tone and
manner the utter impossibllity Of the
thing. ''it would be in time"
The next morning the publisher found
upon his breakfast table the opening
chapters Of LADY Audley's Secret"
Robin Goodfellow did not hit the pub
lie. 1t did not live to finish Lady
Audley," which, indeed, would have re-
manned forgotten, buried, dead" had
Miss Braddon not been able to prevail
upon publisher to bring 1t out in three
volume form. 1t then sprang into an
instantaneous popularity. The success
Of the novel was amazing, and proba-
bly, the critics did no harm to the sale
by describing the work as sensation
al" More than 100000 copies have
been sold.

Successful Grape Grating.

J. I. Porter, of Ohio, writes: An
old Clinton vine stood at the corner OF
the woodhouse which was so vigorous
tha. its branches spread over every
thing within re8ch, but bore no fruit.
In April, 1896, I cut both branches of
close to the ground and grated q
Delaware grape into one and an Iona
into the other. used no wax; simply
wrapped carefully with strings of
cloth, pasted q little mud over the
wound and covered all with earth ex-
cept the top buds of the gratis. Those
gratis made wonderful growth the
first season, owing to the far-reaching
roots OF the Clinton vine. At close of
the first season the Iona vine was
about 18 feet long and the Delaware
about -. This season, with the vines
one year DID, the Delaware branch
bore twenty-four as fine lunches OF
Delaware grapes as I ever saw The
punches and berries were slightly
larger than the Delaware generally
grows and so compact on the stems
that they could not be picked off easi.
ly without beginning at the end Of the
stem.
The Iona branch bore about forty
punches of Iona grapes Of the finest
quality. This is q quick way OF get
ting a grapevine into bearing. I tried
the same experiment on wild grape
vine down in the pasture. It grew
just as vigorously, but an inquisitive
Jersey COW spoiled the experiment.
