Eleuterio Betances. the great faris
oculist, bachelor of science and OF
arts and doctor of medicine. whose
name has been mentioned recently rs
possibly the first President of Cuba
Libre, is as distinguished in letters as
he is in science. but is distinguished
more than all for his long and pers.s-
tent personal warfare against Spanish
dominion in the West Indies. Though
he is a native of Porto Rico, he is rev.
erenced for his devotion throughout
Cuba as sinceely as in his native isle.
He never would have received this
reverence, however. nor achieved such
distinction, probably. had he not in
his younger days been in the habit of
buying a negro baby every month.

drove some nails in a sheltered cor

there. The old birds often come into
my Office and sing. One of them has
repeatedly alighted on my desk as I
have been writing, saying plainly by
his actions, You won't hurt me- We
are friends" A few years since, in q
knot-hole in a dead tree. near a path
from my Office to my house, lived
family of wrens, with whom l had
formed a very intimate acquaintance
One day, while was passing in a hur-

cries of fear and anger, and as got
past the tree one of them followed me,
and by it's peculiar motions and cries
induced me to turn back examined
the nest and found the young birds all
right, looked into the trees branches,
but saw no enemies there, and started
away. Both birds then followed me
with renewed cries. and when l was a
few yards away they flew in front of
me, fiuttered moment, and then dart

of fourteen he was sent abroad to
complete his education. He studied
in TolOuse until he was graduated with
the degrees Of B. A. and B. S. Then
he went to Paris where he was grad

he was abroad he had time for con-

"Sinking-rOOmS" of Persia commend
themselves most to ones conception of
the luxurious and delightful. When
not required, these gilded, glass-walled
palaces float gracefully on the blue
waters of Lake Niris, the most lovely
of Persian lakes. When the heat ceases
to be comfortable their happy owners
enter the floating palaces, which are
drawn by heavy weights down into the
transparent depths of the lake, and
with an ample supply Of air from
above, luxurious surroundings. iced
drinks, and fan-waving hours, the
Persian millionaire who cannot enjoy
100 degrees in the shade must be diff
cult to please.
The Prince of Agra has a similar
palace mcored in one of the reaches OF
the Jumna. Its furniture and appoint
ments are superb: the very chairs are
made of gold and incrrsted with Jewels
and the curtains are of the most ex-
quisite silks. On sultry days the
Prince and his suite enter their river
palace. which is at once unmoored and
floats gently on the bosom of the
Jumna at the will Of the tide, catching
every breeze that blows, and gliding to
the soothing music OF harps played by
fair hands. Who would not be the
Prince of Agra?
The cooling galleries" of China are
little less delightful as refugees from a
too torrid sun. They hang suspended
over rivers or private lakes, and are
sumptuously furnished with rare rugs
and tapestry, settees, and lounging-
chairs; whilst every cooling beverage
that man can devise is there in profu-
sion.

BETANCES'S WRITINGS.
He wrote many pamphlets on scien-

years has been one Of the chief con-

interest in French politics and has
had for his warm personal friends

DAWN OF A CENTURY.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
When will the Goth century begin?

From numerous letters of inquiry re-

that the public is interested in the puz-

concerned with the point of departure
from which time is computed and more
concerned with time as a measure of
business transactions-99 year leases
and days of grace. To present in a
brief article a fair statement of the
chronological controversies of the past
would be impossible. The photography
of chronology is extremely yolumnous

tail of chronological history is justly

st. Jatnes 0asette Says Spain Owes
RepaPatfon.


LONDON. March 2S.-The st. James Ga
zette. commenting. this afternoon. on the
report Of the United States naval court Of
inquiry into the less of the battle ship
Maine, says: There can be no doubt Spain
owes reparation to the American govern
ment, to say nothing of the most humble
apologies and the most extreme considera-
tions for the feelings of the nation which
has lost fine cruiser lying in peace in a
presumably friendly harbor. The outlook is
as threatening 1t could be. Spain is in
the wrong, and it is for Spain to, walk
warily."
The Westminster Gazette says: 1.-THE re-
sources of diplomacy ought not yet be
exhausted. We trust President Mckinley
Will maintain his unexceptionable attitude,
and net allow himself to be jingoed into
war;
The Globe thinks the report gives Spain
ground for maintaining that it shows bias"
adding The evidence that a mine caused
the explosion is NEE ger, unconvincing and
not borne out by previous experiences of
the effects caused by mines exploding
In conclusion. the Globe says: which
ever way we look at the matter, it is hard
to agree with the verdict of the court of
inquiry"
