Life and the Liver.

Success in life depends upon the liver"
is the way Chas. Lamb. the poet and pun
ster, put it. Medical science has proven
that nine-tenths of the ailments of living
have their origin in the liver, and in con-
stipation caused by its arrangements.
Keep the liver lively and all will be well.
Modern science points out Cascarets as
the only perfect, gentle, positive liver reg
ulator fit to be used in the delicate human
organism. All druggists sell Cascarets

most heartily.

Uncle Sans Treasure Box.

Did you ever hear of the treasures OF
the United States? Stored away in one
of the vaults of the United States treas
ury are precious stones, rare perfumes,
ieweied swords and other articles OF
historic and intrinsic value that have
been collecting for years. Among the
most priced treasures of the collection
are bottle of gems and vial filled
with almost priceless altar of roses.
Tradition has it that the jewels are
also of very great value. They were
presented to President Martin Van
Buren by the imaum of Muscat in 1899.
Many of the swords have gold hits set
with gems, and commemorate great
military events.

with whom he has been negotiating
for long time. 1t will be a valuable
addition to his collection, which is con-
sidered one of the best in the United
States. The history which attaches to
the dollars coined in 1904 is peculiarly
interesting. Out of the 1000 which
came out of the United States mint all
but few disappeared in lump.
In the year 119S the United States
went TO war with Algiers. The differ
ences were finally settled by the Uni
ted States agreeing to pay $S00,000 for
the liberation of American seamen who
had been imprisoned, and $4,000 for
the promise of Algiers to leave Amcri-
can merchantmen alone. In 1901 war
broke out between Tripoli and the Uni
ted States. In 1904, this last war be-
ing then still! in progress, the United
States frigate Philadelphia was seized
off the coast of TripOli On board this
vessel was a sum of money aggregat-
ing. $4,000. destined for Algiers, in
payment of portion of the war indem-
nifty. The night after the Philadelphia
was seized Commodores Prebble and
Morris sailed into the harbor. with
sixty men on board their vessels, and
recapturcd the frigate. The $4,000,
which included nearly all of the 1000
1904 dollars, had, however, been taken
from the vessel. The sum was never
recovered and the silver is probably
still lying in some marbled Moorish
castle. carefully guarded among the
heirlooms of some semiciviliZed orient

SPANISH ANXIETY
Much Relieved by American Semi
Official Outgivings

NEW YORK, Feb. ia dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: Less anxiety is
felt here since the government Caused the
newspapers to publish the reassurng
semi official statement that the foreign
office and Premier Sagasta continue to re-
ceive from the Spanish legation in WASH
ington and from the authorities in Cuba
information showing that most of the
American official departments are becom-
ing more convinced that the catastrophe
to the Maine was accidental.
The exchange of courtesies between the
two governments is considered to point in
the same direction. The precautions
taken on the arrival of the Vizcaya at New
York give satisfaction.
The Vizcaya and her sister ship, the AL
mirante Oquendo, now on the way across
will stay only short time at New York.
Both have orders to go to Havana.
The American government, it is reported
does not intend to send any more vessels
to- Cuban waters.
Spains new minister to Washington,
Senor Bernabe, will start early next week
for America, going by way of England
with a view to meeting Senor de LONE. to
confer with him on questions pending be-
tween the United States and Spain. Senior
Bernabe daily discusses at length with
the ministers of foreign affairs and of the
colonies all the aspects of the Cuban ques-
ton, the relations with the United States
and the commercial treaty. .ass. -.. ~

Of the Awful Tragedy Enacted in the Quiet Waters Of the
Harbor at Havana

through their portfolios with the
grim effect of resistless power.
There was no doubt in the mind
of any one who knew her resources
and observed her practical efficiency
that Havana was at her mercy,
should cause arise for her to put
her strength to a test. And yet, at
that very time, known to but few.
but dimly suspected by many, there
lay under her hull, or was ready to
be launched upon her, q machine
which could in moment shatter
her into a mass of useless iron and
mangled bodies.
l say rumors to this effect were
current. There is in Havana an un-
dercurrentof intrigue in which both
Spaniards and Cubans are involved.
and from which there are constantly
coming to the surface hints and inu-
endoes, which are believed or discred-
tied, according to temperament of
the hearer. But the air vibrates with
them; and in the long run they af-
feet the feelings of the least sensi-
tive.
But though these rumors created
uneasiness, there was no possibility
of bringing their truth to test. 1t
was impossible to search the harbor
of friendly power for evidences of
diabolical treachery. And it was
really difficult to believe that, what
ever preparations the Spaniards
might have made, they would carry
them into execution, unless or until
war had been openly declared. When
that time came, if come it did, the
Maine must be trusted to take care
of herself.
So we referred to the matter only
in the way of surmise, and none
of us. 1 think. seriously believed
that the calamity hinted at in our
talk would actually come to pass.
The night of Tuesday came on as
calm and peaceful as the rest. I
do not know whether any premoni-
tions of their fate visited the minds
of the two, hundred and fifty men
who were to die before daylight;
all we can ever know now is that
most of them were asleep in their
hunks by $3.50. The dark water
Tapped softly along the sides of the
ship: the moon had not yet risen,
and it was difficult to distinguish
small objects at a distance. The air
was soft and there was no breeze.
AT $40 one of the port watch, look
ing down at the dark, cleaning sur
face below the side of the ship, fan
cied he saw black object approach
ing silently toward the ship. 1t
seemed to him that smoke issued
from one end of this object, and that
there was a glow of flame. 1t was
already so near that there was no
opportunity to examine it closely,
but the mans mind had probably
been set on edge by the gossip of his
mates, and he was quick to scent
danger. He Immediately turned to
give the warning to his officer. but
the time for warning had gone by.
Before he could voice his apprehen-
sion the calamity had taken place.
Whether this dimly seen black OBJ
ject was in truth the cause of what
