THE CRISIS.

The news from Washington is as con- ficting as ever, but there is general agreement that the President will send the report of the findings of the court of inquiry to congress to-day; that the report will be referred to a committee with little or no debate; and that on Tuesday or Wednesday the President will send a message to congress recom- mending an appropriation to relieve distress in Cuba.
 Whether there will be serious trouble immediately apparently depends on the attitude taken by Spain toward the re- lief measures planned by the Presi- dent. One story is that Spain has all ready refused to consent to his plan, and the other is that she has not re- fused and will not refuse, although it does not please her. The latter story seems to us the most plausible. Spain would put herself in very unjusti- liaDie position II Sne SnOulQ attempt to resist and nullify the penevolence of this country toward the starving Gu bans. She cannot afford to do that. If she should do it she would have no sympathy anywhere in the civilized world. A war begun by her on that basis would be such an unholy war on her part that she would be universally execrated.
 There is much popular excitement in both this country and Spain. But it is announced that the President has not yet given up the hope of peace with honor, and he has managed so well that the general disposition is to give him full opportunity to carry out his plans. He will have united country behind him if force is needed.

FIGHTING FOR LIFE IN THE SEA
 DEPTHS

Placid and reposeful, tempest-tossed or current -whirled, the unchangeable yet unresting surface of the ocean re- years to the voyager no inkling of what is going on below it's mobile mask, and even when furrowed deepest by the mighty but invisible ploughshare of the storm, how slight is the effect felt twenty feet deep. Yet in those sound less abysses of shade beneath the waves war is being necessarily waged which knows no truce, ruthless, intending, and universal.
 On earth the struggle for existence is terrible one. exciting all our sym- pahties when we witness its pitilessness being ourselves by some happy acci- dent outside the arena. Nature, fred in tooth and claw" wedding out the unfit by the operation of her inexorable laws, raises many doubting ques- ton in gentle souls as to why all this suffering should be necessary. They see but a portion of the reversed pat tern woven by the eternal looms. But the fanua of the land are by an enor- nous majority herbivorous, mild in their habits, and terrified at the sight

4 RID DEBT.

If Spain were not as proud as she is she could well afford to let Cuba go without making much fuss about it. She is now spending-or mourning obli- gations for-$S ,00O,0 900 a month in Cuba, is in arrears there more than $60,000,- GOO, and has been put to cost, to date, of sSO0,OOOOO0 on account of the war. The Spanish army has dwindled down to little more than half it's nom- inal strength, having lost by death 52,- 900, sent home invalided 47000, and having in hospital unfit for duty 42,oOO.
 If Spanish pride and Spanish national honor require Spain to keep up the war in Cuba, and in addition go to war with the United States if the United States tries to help the suffering Cubans, Spanish pride and Spanish national honor will cost great deal more than they have already cost.

foundation. Yet there are few ar bitrary rules concerning these matters. Here is a waist, sketched in pink and white madras, whose cuffs, but not it's collar, were one with it. Its sleeves were not what we have been accus- toned to in shirt waists, but the coat shape of sleeves is one of the springs marks of newness. Tucking is another new characteristic but it takes differ ent shapes in different waists. In this garment tucks finished the front as in- dicated, but it is common to see them take different direction in front from in back.
 Many of the handsomest of the new waists are in white materials, but the transparent material waist is acknowl- edged this season as hopeless. Some new garments that can hardly be call ed shirt waists are made on a tight lining that extends only to the bust line. Below this the waist is loose ex- cept for such drawing in as tape belt gives. When well cut this style of waist moulds itself to any figure, and, of course, is not affected by shrinkage. Waists of this cut are made of French flannel, of India and taffeta silks and of light cashmeres.
 It must be confessed that a lot of women regard the shirt waist or some variation of it as the only comfortable wear. They claim that the figure is as well and better set off by a well made shirt waist than by a stiff-boned and arbitrary bodice, while as to comfort well! after life In a shirt waist we might as well confess that we simply cannot draw our breath in a tight bod | ice As for summer, skirts, jackets and shirt waists are all that is needed except evening and dress gowns. That was definitely settled last season, and we stick to our decison this year. l FLORETTE.

THE TEACHERS' GUTED.

When one can be well entertained and at the same time help a good cause one feels that the time and money used are we'll spent. A good en- tertainment and a good cause will come together at the new Music Hall tonight and tomorrow night, when and where an effort will be made to add to the fund of the Connecticut Teachers Annuity Guild. The object of the Guild is to acquire fund, the interest on which will provide for the needs of broken-down teachers. En- couraging progress has already been made in this direction, and those working for the fund are more ambi- tious and hopeful than ever. This com- munity, or any other, can well afford to help workers in such a cause. Few teachers are overpaid, and still fewer ever get what belongs to them in the way of appreciation and gratitude. The Guild is trying to arrange matters so that the community will not be both- cred and burdened by it's members when they are no longer useful in help ing to build up the community. It certainly deserves encouragement and will doubtless receive it in New Haven. Professor Jepson promises a good pro- gramme, and he is in the habit of keep ing his promises.

of blood. Even the carniovora fierce and ravenous as are their instincts do not devour one another except in few in significant and abnormal cases, such as wolves driven mad by starvation. Much less do they eat their own off, spring, although there are many in- stances of this hideous appetite among the herbivores, which are familiar to most of us. In striking contrast to the conditions the tribes of ocean are all devourers of each other and, with the exception of the mammalia and the sharks, make no distinction in favor of their own fruit. One single instance among the inhabitants of the sea furnishes us with variation. The halicone, dugong, and manatee (Sirenia), now nearly extinct, are with- out doubt eaters of herbage only. This gather along the shores whose waters are their habitat, or cull from the shall low sea-bottoms.
 For all the rest, they are mutually dependent upon each others flesh for life, interruptions, unsatisfied, and vigorous beyond belief. Wac Victis' is their motto, and the absence of all other food their sole and sufficient excuse. Viewed dispassionately, this | law of interdependence direct is 8 beneficent one in spite of it's apparent cruelty. Vast as is the sea, the fecund- l ity of most of its denizens is well known to be so great that without | effective checks always in operation it must rapidly become putrid and pestilential from the immense accumu- lation of decayng animal matter. As things are, the life of a fish first to last is a series of miraculous escapes. As
 ova, their enemies are so numerous,
 even their own parents greedily de- l vouring the quickening spawn, that it
 is hard to understand how any are
 overlooked and allowed to become fish.
 Yet as fry, after providing food for
 countless hordes of hungry foes, they
 are still sufficiently numerous to im- l press the imagination as being in number like the sands of the sea. And
 so, always devoured by millions, they
 progress towards maturity, at which
 perhaps one-billionth of those deposit
 ed as ova arrive. This infinitesima1
 remnant is a mighty host requiring
 such supplies of living organisms for
 its daily food as would an astronomer
 dizzy to enumerate.-London Spectator.

SOUTH CARoLINA TEA.

They are talking now that tea-drink- ing is about as harmful as rum drink ing, but it will encourage some to know that pr. Charles U. Shepard is making a success of his tea plantation near Summerville, South Carolina. Dr.
 Shepard has succeeded in producing high-grade teas for the American mar ket in quantity sufficient to warrant extensive culture. This year a crop of two thousand pounds is expected. The crop of last year, amounting to eleven hundred pounds, was readily sold at high prices. Care has been taken to produce only the high grades of tea, as the cost of labor in this country is so great that cheap teas will not pay for time and labor. Dr. Shepard is of opin- ion that high-grade teas for consump- tion in the United States can be profit ably produced. The plants thrive, and nothing stands in the way but lack of skill and high-priced labor. With the help of machinery skilled labor can ac- complish so much that all obstacles are likely to be overcome. Black tea has received chief attention, although ex- periments have been made with green. Dr. Shepard says: Tt is hoped that ultimately the manufacture of those very highly esteemed and high-priced teas which are rarely seen outside the countries where they are grown can be attempted. In this field the American

Superintendent Siefert of the Mill waukee schools, in preparing an argu- ment for the abolition of corporal pun ishment in the schools of that city, found on inquiry that of the thirty-five thousand children in the schools, only about five hundred "get licking dur ing the year. Disregarding the proba- ble fact that the five hundred received what they deserved, MT. Siefert argues that if only five hundred out of thirty five thousand need the strap it would be better to abandon it, and to require the teachers to preserve discipline in some other way. The other way rec commended by him, when other means fail, is suspension. This, he thinks, would bring the matter sharply home to the parents, whose business it is to use the shingle or the slipper.
