The Cuban War.

War in Cuba means prosperity to the
Florida cattle trade, particularly since the
Spanish authorities have removed the duty
on live stock shipped to the island. Pre-
vious to that order the shipments were
about 500 week. Since then they have
doubled and are increasing and would soon
exhaust the Florida supply if it were not
REINFORCED by importations from Texas.
The cattle ar driven through the country
IN '"bunches of 200 or 800 to the shipping
points in the southern part of the state,
where they are loaded on barges, about 500
to barge, and towed over to Havana.
During the last Cuban instruction the
Florida ranger became prosperous in sup
plying the oombatants with beef, but in a
year or two after the conflict was over the
island was exporting cattle and will be
again when it's present troubles have passed
by, that promising always to be one of it's
most productive and profitable industries.

ST. LOUIS BOX PARTY.
Fed on Peanuts, Oranges and Water and
Then Called For Beer.

Then Called For Beer.
There was strange box party at the
Olympic theater in St. Louis the other
night. It was party such as the Olympic
seldom sees. The strangeness lay not in
the people who occupied 1.-two men and
three women-but in the refreshments
with which they regaled themselves dur
ing the performance. They began to feed
upon peanuts, which are conceded every
where to be gallery god feast. The peo-
pie in the parquet at the continuous arc
estopped from crunching peanuts between
their fingers should they so far forget
themselves as to bring in a bag ct this deli
cacy.
When the occupants of the first stage
box had devoured the nuts, they pulled
out oranges, with which they were plenti-
fully supplied, and began to suck the juice
from the luscious fruit before they deyour-
ed the meat. The combination of peanuts
and oranges had stirred up a thirst among
them and they kept the ushers running in
double file fetching trays full of crystal
water. Even that did not satisfy them,
and when their thirst got beyond the con
troll OF water they sent for the head usher
and ordered bottled beer.
The demand raised a storm in the
ushers breast, and he replied rather sar-
castically that the Olympic was not win
ter garden, where drinks were served
promis cuously. The box party was all
broken up over the arraignment of it's man
ners which the head ushers remark i'm
piled, and said that thoy would OF course
do without it if they must. They came
from the Klondike, they said, where every
thing was permitted to him who had mon
ey to pay for it. Then they went back to
munching peanuts and before the play was
out they had divided at least a gallon mora
of water between them. 1t was not known
at what hotel they stopped. st. Louis Re-

HE'S A LOBSTER.
Popular Expression That Originated In
Jerseys All Winter Race Tracks.

Jerseys All Winter Race Tracks.
The expression ''hes a lobster,' which
has now become so general in colloquial
use about town as to convey clear cut
message of contempt or derision, has a
somewhat peculiar origin. There is moth
ing about lobster-which the elder Du-
mas, it may be recalled described as the
cardinal of the sea'-to invite derision,
but few years ago when all winter rae
ing was customary thing in the vicinity
OF New York, especially in neighboring
New Jersey, a mud horse that failed to
realize the expectations of those who bet
money upon it was called "lobster," an
allusion to it's mode of progression. Horses
which had been generally defeated were
lobster horses, and as this colloquial ex-
preston got to b. more general in use on
the race tracks it began to be applied not
only to horses, but to men and things as
we'll. A lobster car was car that made
slow time, a lobster boat was boat in
which rapid time could not be expected
lobster calculator was a man who took
too long, in the Judgment of his critics, to
add up an account, and so gradually the
name lobster has come to be accepted as a
designation of sloth or inferiority and
'he's lobster" has come to be regarded
as phrase of disapproval- York

One Successful Exposition.

The final settling up of accounts for
the Tennessee Centennial exposition at
Nashville shows a gratifying result. The
enterprise paid for itself and consider
ably more.
It was the most Enthusiastically

Beautiful as the capital of Tennessee is,
it has no central public park. 1t has
long been the desire of the citizens to
secure such a park. Their civic pride
was appealed to when the city got the
fair. Each subscribed according to his

themselves $40 apiece for the fair. So

Captain Sigsbee's Dog Peggy.

When Captain Sigsbee left the deck of
the Maine on that terrible night in Ha-
vana harbor, he was followed over the side
of the vessel by four footed friend and
companion, Peggy, a Scotch terrier. No.
body paid any attention to Peggy under
the perilous circumstances, but when the
captain s gig pulled away from the side of
the dismembered battleship Peggy was
curled up comfortably in the stern on q
pile of cushions Subsequently the little
terrier made the journey to Key West on
the relief boat Olivette, and the officers
and men of the Maine who are at Key
West value their faithful little friend more
than ever. Peggy is in clover among the
guests of the leading hotel in Key West,
where the surviving officers of the Maine
are quartered, and on account of the ro-
nance connected with the little terrier she
is special pet among the ladies. Chicago

YALE's SPORTY BOYS.
The Annual Top Spinning and Hoop Roll
ing Season In Full Blast.

Every fine afternoon during the last few
days the upper classmen of Yale university
could be seen spinning tops on the college
campus or on the corner in front of Os-
born hall, the site of the old fence at Yale
This diversion of the Yale students is a
tradition that dates back many years, and
it is annually observed during the last
week in February and the first week or
two in March. The students do not appear
in public IS top spinners until they have
perfected the trick. They practice in the
dormitory Railways, in the campus, in
their own rooms and in other out of the
way places on the university grounds I'M
til they are able to mako the top spin every
time they throw it. 1t is no unusual sight
to see from 20 to 80 students, big strapping
fellows, many of them seniors, in front OF
Osborn hall with their tops and strings
for an hour or two at time. They draw
circle and in that circle place a top or
two that they peg away at with the great
est hilarity.
At this time of the year also another
craze among the students is rolling hoop.
The public see very little of this horse
play on the part of the Yale men, as it is
confined to the campus proper. TO find
one of the students rolling a hoop on the
streets adjacent to the A'llege ground is
regarded as undigni1ed. The fun Of hoop
rolling generally lasts only during the first
two weeks of March, and scores OF students
can be seen pleasant afternoons tearing
through the campus chasing their hoops
like street urchins.
Another diversion in which some of the
Yale students indulge is playing marbles,
and with that of rolling hoop and spinning
top there is much fun for the Yalensian
these days on the campus. The sedate old
professors who in their early days had as
much fun with their hoops and marbles
and tops as do the youthful generation
now under their guardianship watch the
boys during these afternoons and thor
oughly enjoy thu spectaclo.- York

Even some American newspapers have
been expressing sympathy for poor old
England, browbeaten, insulted and ig.
nored in European affairs, according to
their belief. Meantime Mr.. McLeavy
Brown, the Englishman who had been
dismissed as superintendent Of the Ko.
rean finances and a Russian agent, M.
Alexioff, appointed in his place, has
been reinstated. China is earnestly
seeking to enter into closer relations
with British capitalists in order to
get loan from them. Great Britain
is also prepared to enforce her right
to winter ships at Port Arthur if
Russia does. This does not look as
though 'poor old England" was quite a
back number. When the SCOTS of Ger
mans and French and Irish and also of
some American newspaper writer's rain
upon her back, she does not say much,

Great Britain refused to agree to our
proposed international treaty prohibit
ing either American or British subjects
from hunting seals in the open sea at
present. In return for this the sealing
bill passed by our congress, signed by
President Mckinley and now law will
exactly hit Great Britain for her churl-
ish refusal to help us protect the seals.
It prohibits the importation into this
country of Boring sea sealskins. The
greatest market for these skins is the
United States, where people have more
money than in most countries. Canadi-
ans were in the habit Of Strengthening
wholesale our seals, sending the skins
to London and having them dressed and
dyed and then selling them to US for the
cloahs Of American ladies. Now, no
matter how many seals they catch,
Canadians cannot sell the skins to u.s.
Their best market is cut off, and it
serves them right.
