NO COMPLAINT AGAINST LEE.
Peaceful semi-0mciaI Note Issued at
Madrid.

Madrid, March s.-A semi-oficiai note.
just issued, declares that the Spanish gov
ernment has not received any complaint
regarding the attitude Of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, the United States consul general at
Havana, adding: "On the contrary, Cap
tain General Blanco af1irms that Gen. Lees
behavior has always been correct Never
theless, the incident serves to explain the
origin of the i'll will between the two coun-
tries. This is proved by statements attrip-
uted TO Secretary Sherman, by which the
jingees have created the belief in the
United States that Spain is trying to pro-
woke war, while at the same time engen-
dering the feeling in Spain that II is the
United States which demands the opening
Of hostiltles. 1t Is essential that this
double game should be ended In order to
prevent the two countries from going to
war without motives. and without either
of them desiring it,"

London Papers ReaIiye That Uncle
sam Means business.

London, March .. 5 a. m.-The Morning
Post editorially commends the adoption of
the Cannon resolution by the House Of
Representatives and says: "1t is an en-
phatic way of saying that American
statesmen intend to stand by their decaara-
tlons. People who talk about national
honor and responsibility ought to be pre-
pared to put their money down.
The Daily News says: Speaking gem
orally, the United States never is prepar-
ed for war. Yet it cannot be said that
their diplomacy has suffered from this pal
pable and notorious truth. Therefore, the
assertions OF any statesmen that they are
voting 100000 as a peace measure are
hardly convincing explanation OF this
sudden change from tranquil inactivity to
acute vigilance"

WHAT BARBARlANS EAT.

Old Women on Cape Horn-Dogs In
China-Dogs Always Thought Edible.
Darwin relates somewhere that
when the inhabitants of TERRA del
Fuego are pressed by famine they kill
and eat their old women rather than
their dogs. The Chinese, however,
tend and fatten their dogs carefully
to eat. They also consider the cat a
choice dich. At Picking and through
out China there is no dainty repast
without its fillet or leg of dog; the
cat is rather O dish of the poorer
classes.
History tells us that in early times
dog was always regarded as on edible
animal. The inhabitants of certain
homes of Egypt piously embalmed
their dead dogs, but others considered
that it was more in conformity to the
doctrines of o wise economyto kill and
eat them. Plutarch tells us that the
dwellers in Cynopolis, where dogs
were honored as divine, made war on
the Oxyrinchis, who had committed
the sacrilege of eating dogs.
The savages of North America, for
lack Of provisions, often sacrifice their
companions of the chase. We are
told that before the introduction of
cattle the .Spaniards in Mexico used
the native dogs so freely as food that
the species has now completely dis
appeared.
The Greenlanders and the Kam-
chatkans also sometimes eat their
dogs, but only when reduced to this
cruel extremity by famine. In Africa
dogs form the food of certain tribes
in the Ashantee county the flesh is
eaten both fresh and dried. And it
appears that in the lower Congo
region, among the Batekes, there is q
custom that must make every friend of
dumb beasts rage with Indignation
before killing dog for food it is NAL
treated and tortured, to make the
flesh more tender. New York Jour.

you to fiji the children's stockings this
Christmas eve"
This speech confirmed the favorable
Impression which the visitor had made
from the first upon the children. The
mother felt herself visibly weakening.
Yet all her wrongs rushed over her
mind and how could she forgive him!
At this point Trotty's recent Sun
day school lessons came to her mothers
assistance.
Mamma" she said, timidly, pull
ing at her mothers gown, "you know
what it says in the Bible, mamma its
Christmas, mamma-and it's peace
and goodwill at Christmas, you know,

The woman's strong, handsome face
softened -then hardened. She shook
her head and drew away.
otis Christmas, reiterated Trotty,
tremblingly.
Eyes. mamma it's Christmas"
chimed in the eldest boy, who was his
mothers especial pet He came close
beside her and looked up into her
eyes.
"It's Christmas-and it's just as
Trotty says" he repeated.

THE WIND AND THE LEAVES.

The wind Is fate,
The leaves are men ~
They are blown along for little space,
And then
A few emerge and tumble ahead,
Over and over and over again,
In q maddening race,
And here and there
One lodges and cings In lonesome place.
Until, at last, but a single leaf
Whirls onward into the far Somewhere.
And the many leaf-men that are left behind
Gather in clusters here and there.
And are whirled about by the wiful wind,
And, at last when the great white Quilt Is
spread.
And all Is over and done
Then silently lie and slowly rot,
Each on the barren little spot
Where its troubles were begun.
