A Spaniard was born in Spain.
His son, who was born in Cuba. is
not q Spaniard, but Cuban. If a
Cuban should so to Madrid when he
is two weeks old, and spend all his
life in the palace, he would still be a
Cuban, and not quite as good as a
Spaniard. Ii a Spaniard should go
to Havana when he is two weeks old,
and spend all his life in that city or
upon u plantation, he would still be a
Spaniard, and enjoy a distinction and
social position which Cuban can
never attain. The sons and daugh-
ters of a Spaniard are Cubans If they
are born in Cuba; but the sons and
grandsons and great -grandsons of a
Cuban must always be Cubans, no
matter if they were born in Madrid
and spend their whole lives in that
city. No Cuban can ever become a
Spaniard, no matter what happens to
him, and from the Spanish point OF
view he is a degenerate. THE Chau-

Strange Tales From the Antiyodes.

Two strange tales como from the
antipodes. On November 10, the
Catholic Church at NTinyip, Victoria,
was partly blown over by storm,
and, propped up by heavy timhers,
spiked to the ground. A few days
later another storm arose and blew
the church plumb on its foundation
again. The ship Nelson arrived a,
Wellington, having struck rocky
point, and had several holes in hei
bottom. Divers found one hole
stopped up by large piece OF rocli
and another hole calSed by fish. that
had been squeezed in tail first. The
stories are interesting, though we
cannot vouch for their authenticity

One of the most fruitful sources oil
the illness of children is the habit
which some parents have of allowing
them to stay up unduly late at night.
1t is one of the greatest mistakes ol
those who have charge of them to lei
them have too little sleep. 1t is con
fessedly a difficult matter always to
get little ones to bed at the time they
ought to go; they, of course, plead
for only little longer to stay up; but
if parents would only realize the i'm
extreme importance of plenty of rest
they would remain obdurate to all such
entreaties. 1t should not be forgotten
that children are naturally wakeful in
the morning, and in consequence OF
having to be off to school betimes are
frequently called before they have
finished their morning nap. Children,
as a rule, ought to sleep ten or eleven
hours, and to do this they ought to be
put to bed early enough at night so
that they may have this amount of un
interrupted sleep. II children do not
get the necessary amount of rest it is
no wonder that they become nervous,
fretful and difficult to manage. Their
nerves, inherited in many cases from
dyspeptic parents, are keenly alive to
every sound, and their tempers are
irritated by being called out of bed
when they are so much inclined to
sleep. During the earlier years of
childhood, whatever else may be done,
there should be ample provision TO,
long and undisturbed sleep.-The
Ledger.
