SIMPSONS ) Plans.

Key West, May 21.-Et is known
here that SIMPSONS plans for the
capture and destruction OF the
Spanish vessels is complete and
no doubt is felt of the result. 1t
is not generally believed that
Cervera is sotf to south coast of
Cuba. The exact position of
Sampson cannot be made public
now, but there is no occasion for
anxiety about any American
ships. There is much excite ment
here and feeling that the ex-
pected battle will be the bagin-
ming of the end OF the war. Naval
officers say Sampson's plf.n can
not fail. The Spaniards can.
not escape. In official circles il
is believed Spain will begin me-
gotiations for peace in thirty days.

Reading.

Reading is a most excellent
habit if conducted for the cult
walton of our minds. but many
people have a wrong impression
regarding this subject. They
grow to feel that if they read
they are doing something that
merits praise. In reality, indis-
criminate reading is one of the
most demoralizlng forms of men
tai dissipation. The public Ii
brary records show what many
young people read upon an aver
age from two to four books per
week. These books are usually
fiction. It true that the fiction
of the libraries is not the most
harmful variety, but an excess
of it produces the same results
as penny dreadful. . The mind
is a sieve through which passes
the wash of fiction. Nothing is
retained and the process in the
end weakens the sieve. This
reading habit, like any form of
mental dissipation, destroys the
taste for more helpful literature.
Culture results not by reading
but from good reading.
The constant reader Of fiNtion
is never a good reasoner, rarely
a quick observer. His mind is
receptive, not retentive. The
most pitiful thing about the habit
is the fact thatits victims really
feel that they are doing some
thing meritorious. They say, II
have read two books this week"
and say it with gleeful self-satis-
faction. There is nothing to
which the quality rather than
quantity" test can be better ap-
piled than to reading. Read, but
read for a purpose.
Amusement is a part of read
ing. but it should be only part,
not the entire scheme. Pleasure
we should always derive from
reading but pleasure comes from
the exercise of all the mental
powers. Fiction alone cannot
give this result.

II looks now as il the war was

pers a necessity. though there
we're Sunday papers before the
war. In addition. it made the
use of the Telegraph absolutely
indispensable, though in 81 the
average of telegraphic matter
did not exceed a column a day.
However, when the news came
from Ft. Sumter and the Presi-
dents message was issued calling
for $4,000 volunteers the wires
were used in most liberal way.
There were messages from all
over the country telling about
the organization of companies.
OF these things there may be
a repetition in the not distant
future.
Still there will be no picnic.
War is made up of discomforts
even if the soldiers are only at
the seaboard and on the defen.
sive. Those who go to the isle
of Cuba will find even more than
discomforts. There will be suf-
ferings even unto death. Fight
ing in the tropics is worse than in
frozen North. Those who enlist
must go under the full knowledge
that there is no fun in war, for
it is serious circumstance with
out a tinge of rose or a scent of
violets.

There was no hating then be-

then, that the 5000 men were

ESCAPING WZCAYA
 TO BE PURSUED BY
 TWO FLEET CRUISERS.

NEW YORK, July 3.-A Washington special to the Journal says: The Viz caya, supposed to be the ship which escaped from the harbor, is one of the fastest war vessels afloat. She is an armored cruiser, really a second class battle ship, and can do better than 21 knots an hour. She made the speed mentioned in her trip from New York to Havana last March.
 No ship of the regular American navy can make the speed of the Viz caya. It was reported tonight at the Bureau of Navigation that the Vizcaya will be pursued for a fight or surrender by the Brooklyn and New York. It is not expected the escapine vessel will try to make Porto Rico, but will take long run to the south, and then make straight away for the Spanish coast. The Spanish vessel is swifter than either of her pursuers, but the American vessels will take the chances of overhauling and sinking ort cap- turing her.
