Petitions May BE withdrawn.

| PetitlOnS May lie Withdrawn.
| When the time comes for withdrawing
| those annexation petitions from the flies
| the Spanish property owners who have
| signed them will be entitled to respectful
| consideration. 1t will also be proper to con-
| slider the causes which influence them and
judge whether the supposed benefits which
| would result to them sufficient to offset
| the burden which the United States would
| take upon itself. Parenthetically it nigh
| be said that while the Spanish commercial
classes want annexation, not ali the foreign
| capital in Havana wants it. and some of
| the American capital which is seeking in
vestment does not want it. This is also
| subject for the future. The reasons are
not of present concern.
While the marked SubsidenCe of the an
neXation movement among the Spanish ele-
ments has been noted, this does not mean
| that all agitation has ceased. The intran-
| sigenteS, irreconciableS, are active in
| trying to foment trouble. They have sew
| eral newspapers whose efforts are winked
| at by the press censorship, though occa-
| sionally one is suppressed and reappears
| under another name. These irreconcilableS
| cali themselves the Spanish colony in Cuba
| They are nothing of the kind, for the Span
| ish colony could not exist without the
| merchants, and few of these are in Sympa-
! thy with the policy of the disturbers. They
| are largely the dregs of the bureaucratic
system which is soon to disappear, though
among their ranks are some men OF stand
| ing. In the Casino Espanol or Spanish
| Club is yet to be found the sentiment that
when Spain leaves Cuba it should leave
| only ruins.
At first this radical Spanish colony was
interested chiefly in taunting the Cubans
with having caused a revolution which
brought for them only change in masters.
| They were told that the purpose of the
United States was to seize the island and
! administer it a conquered province.
| While the Cubans in some things have not
shown an excess of good judgment, or of
| gratitude to the United States they knew
better than to take the words of their tne-
| mics, they were not goaded into doing the
| these tactics failed the effort has been to
prejudice both Spanards and Cubans
against American control. The alleged bad
behavior of the soldiers in Porto Rico and
Santiago has been used as test to alarm
the people and frighten them into expect
ing something dreadful when the troops
take possession in this part of Cuba i do
not think it has had much effect. If this
irreconcilGble element had to chose today
between annexation and independence its
choice would be difficult. Hatred of the
pendence, and hatred of the Cubans might
drive it to the support of annexation. Hap

SECRET LANGUAGE,
rhe Jargon That Children Make Up TO
Convey Their Momentous Secrets.


Oscar Chrisman has novel article
In the Century on 1.-THE Secret Lam
guage of Childhood" in the course of
which he gives many whimsical ex-
amples. Mr.. Chrisman says:
The secret-language period is thing
of child nature. There are three dis
tinct periods in language-learning by
the child. The first is the acquiring
of the mother-tongue. The second
period comes shortly after the time of
beginning to learn the mother tongue,
and is a language made up by the
children who, perhaps, find them
selves unable to master the mother
tongue. Very few children have a
complete language of this kind, but
all children have few words of such.
Then comes the secret-language Pc
Rod. Although in q very few cases
the learning of secret languages began
about the sixth year, and in some in.
stances the period ran till after the
eighteenth year, yet the vast majority
of cases are covered by the period be-
tween the eighth and the fifteenth
year, while the greatest use is between
the tenth and the thirteenth year.
There are many reasons why chill
dren learn and use these languages.
One lady confesses that she originated
language, and introduced it into a
mysterious set of ten, in order to
write notes in school; and she truly
adds that had their teachers discovered
the key. they would have learned many
truths.
1t can never be known whether
these languages originated in the very
first cases with children. The names
would in many instances imply that
children had to do with them, as they
show things familiar to the child and
loved by him. So in the secret Ian.
guages, we find animals playing an i'm.
portant part in the naming. The hog,
dog, goose, pigeon, pig, fly, cat and
other animals, are attached to thes .
languages. The child in the old-fash-
ioned school, where all sat together,
hearing the Ito him) senseless and un-
known Latin, would naturally attach
the name to his language, and thus
give birth to Hog Latin, Goose Latin,
etc. Seeing or hearing language, one
letter may strike the child's fancy, as
as in one or the letter h is "hash, "
and so Hash language is the result.
In another ''bub" (b) finds the funny
spot in child nature, and so Bub talk
comes forth. The child in former DAYS,
so frequently hearing of the a-b-c's,
would, upon the construction of an al
phabet language,at oncerecur to such,
and so name this the A-Bub- Gin -Dud
language.

Clergyman's Experiment.

A laudable attempt on the part Of a
Noting Hill clergyman to practically
lllustrateA to the working class portion
Of his flock the combined benefits of
religion and a tankard Of beer has, we
regret to hear, proved unsuccessful.
The Rev. Prebendary Denison started
for the social pleasure of his congrega.
tion, a club, where the reverend gen
Geman or his curate went, after dis
pensing theological pabulum in the
church, and served the members with
beer and other corporeal refreshments.
The idea was to keep them away from
public houses and to afford them hon.
Est recreation with a reasonable amount
of tpple. By the rules no man could
be served with liquor more than three
times in the course Of a night. But the
Clergyman was unaware of the degree
lf not Of original sin at least of bibulous
ingenuity among the rougher classes OF
Noting Hill. They evaded the rule
by clubbing together their twopences
and treating each other, so that in the
course Of the evening a member was
able to obtain half q dozen, or even
more, drinks, instead of three. The re-
suit was sometimes unpleasant, and
the Prebendary has therefore reluct.
antly determined to give up the expert
nnent.-London Telegraph.

To prepare gravy stir into the
grease left after frying half dozen
chops an even tablespoonful of -four.
If no extra grease has been used to
cook the chops, that which has been
tried out of them will absorb this
amount of flour. Add about cup of
boiling water and stir until all the
brown bits in the pan are taken up.
Season the gravy with half teaspoon
full of salt and little pepper; add
half cup more of water, and let the
gravy simmer for five minutes. When
it is poured out the pan can be easily
washed with hot soapsuds.
The materials which made it hard
to wash before are used in the gravy.
When the gravy is cold any grease
that may not have been absorbed will
rise to the top and can be removed.
If the gravy is needed at once the fat
can be SKINNED off, though this is not
SO easy to do. Not only is it difficult
to take off enough of the fat, but in
the process utensil is unnecessarily
soiled, and time must be used in wash.

An excellent way to serve eggs is
hard boiled, with mayonnaise or cream
sauce.
For removing from tine hands stains
made by paEing fruits and vegetables
use oxalic acid.
1t is alleged that ink stains on white
goods may be effectually removed by
washing first in strong brine and then
wetting the spot in lemon juice.
Black silk may be freshened, it is
said, by washing it in salted water.
The salt is alleged to keep the silk
from stiffening when it is ironed.
For hard pudding Sauce rub together
two ounces Of butter, four of -four and
the juice of half lemon until thor
oughly mixed, whereupon keep cold
till wanted for use
Boiling water ought never to be
poured over tea-trays, japanned goods
and the like, in that it cracks the var
nish. Wash, rather, with warm water,
soft sponge and very little soap.
Sweet oil is good for taking out marks
made by hot things.
To clarity vinegar, pour into bot
tie of it half teacupful of fresh, sweet
milk and let the whole stand for twen-
ty-four hours. AS the sediment will
settle to the bottom with the curdled
milk, the clear liquor may then be
poured off into another bottle.
Something that makes an appetizing
dish ''on the side" for breakfast is
made from two eggs beaten with two
tablespoonfuls of milk. Fry like q
pancake lit will make four); spread
with butter and dust with salt and
pepper and roll like an omelet.
When you propose to polish win.
dows, mirrows, etc., with whiting, the
best way to use it is to put it in mus.
lin bags. Dampen the glass, rub with
the bag of whiting and polish with
newspaper. This is the most economi-
cal as well as the most convenient
way.
When glass globes have become dull
and grimy soak them in hot water to
which you have added little sal soda.
Then take them into another dish OF
hot water in which you have put
tablespoonful of household ammonia
and scrub the inside with stiff brush.
Rinse and wipe.

The Young Prince Likes American Pies

Aho ioubs IrinCe AAiheS american I'1cS
AS there is certain contingent of
people always interested in tastes and
doings of royalty, it will be interest
ing to them to learn that the young
Prince of Belgium has done us the
honor to compliment our American
pies. This will, of course, put pre-
MUM on pies in the minds of many,
and it is probable pies hereafter will
figure i'll many stylish menus. This
evidence of good taste on the part OF
the Prince indicates that he is pos
sessed of good, wholesome ideas as to
what he eats, but good as our pies are,
he ought to be warned against eating
too much of them, for he might be-
come aware before leaving the coun-
try that indigestion is one of the prev
alent ailments of Americans.
There are some lovers ofpies in New
England who go so far as TO eat them
at breakfast, but of course the gentle
men escorting the young Prince will
prohibit any indulgence of that kind,
and the Prince really should only in
dulge his preferred taste at his noon
meal. Trenton IN. j. American.

A Lemon Pie That Wins Approval.

fails of approval calls for one teacup
of sugar, one tablespoonful (scant) OF
butter, two eggs, juice and grated rind
of one lemon, one teacupful of boiling
water, one tablespoonful of cornstarch
dissolved in cold water. Stir the
cornstarch into the hot water, add the
butter and sugar, and cook until clear.
taking care that it does not scorch.
Remove to edge of the range, add the
well-beaten yolks of the ee gs and the
lemon, and put in shell of paste, al.
ready baked. Whip the whites stiff,
adding two tablespoonfuls Of sugar
and few drops of lemon juice, spread
over the pie and brown in a slow
oven.
