feast Moreover. the lands OF the re-
ligious orders steadily increase. The
priests and monks posssss enormous
plantations from which they derive
immense revenues. The people are
made to pay dearly for sacraments. and
the fees exacted are much greater than
in any parish Of Europe. The clergy
live in luxury. giving themselves up In
their isolation not only to every man

pay a fixed tar. An Indian woman
without employment and not owning
any furniture must pay 10 pesetas. A
man must pay 45 pesetas. Defaulting
in this payment, he is forced to work
for fifteen days on the roads. Every
individual whose trade does not exceed

in every village there were several
weavers whose cotton cloths. much
priced by the natives. had q ready and
remunerative sale. This local indus
try has disappeared owing TO a royal
decree favorable to the manufacturers
OF Catalonia, which permitted their
goods to enter without duty. These
manufacturers sent goods Of an In

Mans part is to find it. In Kansas

May governor play cricket? The
governor OF Jamaica has been taken
to task for recreating himself by the
same. A newspaper of his jurisdhc-
tion said the governor should always
be Caesar" and even declared that "a
blow in the face from a ball, or a
stumble and fall, would spoil the dig
nifty OF any governor" 1t is not usual
to think Of Caesar at the bat, but who
can doubt that he would have made a
home run had he tried his hand at
base ball? And would he have been
any less Caesar? Dignity is very
well in its place; but wise men some
times unbend.

for secret meeting has been given by
the introduction of Masonic lodges,
which have increased rapidly In num-

Truth and Fiction.

'Struwwelpeter," one of the pic
lures, represents little maiden, supine
in bed, very ill-and no wonder-with
an immense cherry tree growing out Of
her mouth This was the sad results Of
swallowing the stones along with the
fruit in spite of all warnings. But we
all know that truth Is stranger than
fiction, and the Petersburgskaya Gazeta
of June 80 and July 8. 1897, quotes the
following exemplification Of this saying
from the foreign papers:
IA little girl years of age, Amelia
L., whose father worked at the sawmills
in Belgard (Ain), was at play the other
day, when she managed to push the
seed of plane tree deep into her ear.
Shortly after she began to experience
acute pains. and it was found that the
seed had taken root in the waxy secre-
tions of the ear and was growing apace.
The father proceeded to cautiously up
root the intrusive plant, and the girl
has now recovered. +"
If this story is true. it is to be hoped
that Miss Amelia L., now that her ear
is once more free and in working order.
will inclineit to hearken to the exhorta.
tions Of her elders and will not go on
planting plane trees in such obviously
uncongenial soil. Notes and Queries.

BeautIfying AIabama Towns.

The village improvement associations
are increasing in number in north Ala
bama. Florence and Huntsville have
them in full and successful operation,
and the Guntersville Democrat brings
news of the formation of such an asso-
citation in its town. In each town the
good women are foremost in organizing
and conducting the associations, a man
or two coming in as helper. The plans
are all made by the women, and so are
the steps taken to carry them out. But in
every case the men stand ready to second
the efforts of the women. The beautify-
ing and cleansing of the towns in the
state is neither a small nor an unimpor-
tant task. It is not only benefit to
every resident, but it will prove an at
traction that will secure more residents.
A town in which the paint brush and
whitewash brush are freely welded, In
which fences are kept in repair and
yards, both front and rear, are neatly
kept, will be preferred, other things be-
ing equal, to one-well, the other kind
can be seen almost any day. The less
said about the latter the better. They
are not pleasant to look at or to talk
about. Age-Herald.

These civil war figures relate to the fed
eral army alone. 1t appears that the
Santiago losses were relatively about as
large as the Union losses In the first great
battle of the civil war, and almost as
large as the bloody assault on Fredericks-
burg heights, where the troops, as at
Santiago, were led against fortified po-
sition of the enemy. But at Santiago the
attacking army carried the enemy's posi-
ton, which was not the case at Freder-
icksburg. The losses were heavy, but
they yielded victory. Gen. Skaters ''re-
verse" consisted in not having been able
to do all he said he would do in the 49
hours-capture the city itself. The les
son to him is the same as that of Chan
oellorsville was to Hooker don't brag

AEOtOrman Hard to KIN.

According to a daily newspaper,
George W. Arberry, a motorman of
Montgomery, Ala, fell i'll of the yellow
fever and, 1t was thought, died. The
body was put into a box which two
negroes undertook to cart away and
bury on hill. The mule team ran
away, and the box was overturned and
broken. When the negroes tried to fix
things up, Arberry came back to con-
seriousness and yelled to know what was
being done to him, which caused thu
negroes to fee as fast as their legs would
carry them. Arberry managed to crawl
to the nearest house, and, although
nearly dead from exposure, he recovered
eventually. Electrical Review.

sharp Reproof.

The private records of the great Eng
lish families show how often vast polit-
ical events have grown out of individu-
al quarrels or friendships
One of the oldest examples of these
huge oak growths from little acorns is
found in the life of Lord Brougham.
With all of his knowledge and talent
Brougham was eccentric and slovenly
in his personal habits.
While he was q young and compare
TIN ely unknown barrister he was asked
to dinner at which the prince regent
presided. Mr.. Brougham's hands needed
washing. The regents keen eyes rested
ON them. He beckoned to waiter and
gave an order which the man heard
with scared face, and then going out
he speedily returned with ever full OF
water, soap and towel.
He carried them to BroughaIn, pre-
Benting them with the prince regent 8
compliments The barrister instantly
withdrew and never afterward referred
to the insult.
Years later, when the prince, now
king, tried to divorce his wife, Broug-
ham, as her defender, SO vehemently
sustained her cause that she triumphed.
The kings name was not mentioned
during the trial. though the nation knew
that he was secretly the prosecutor.
Brougham in his speech declared that
he saw in the distance the nameless per-
secutor of his innocent client, quoting
with terrific effect Millions words:
Tho o4hor ShaTo
e shape 1t might be called, black IL
stood as night,
Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell,
And shook dreadful dart; what seem'd his
head
The likeness of kingly crown had on.
George ~ felt seriously this savage
attack. The nation sided with the queen.
and her defender had paid his debt with
interest. Youth Companion.
