It begins to look as if Cuba would come to us as Christmas gift The Spanish soldiers are now being hurried away from the island. If the Cubans behave themselves and show some ca pacity for taking hold of 5heir property, for which Uncle Sam has become trus- zee, they may be able to get their island by the beginning of the century. It rests entirely with the Cubans them selves when they shall begin the exper- iment of self government.

MONROE DOCTRINE NOT REPUDI-
 ATED

The persistence with which the French press urges that our acquisi- tion of the Philippines means a repu- diation of the Monroe doctrine gives rise to the suspicion that a wish is faith CT to the thought. We think, however, that Europe will find that the Monroe doctrine is stlll in force We have in vaded no sphere over which Europe has any claim. When we enter the sphere of European sovereignty it may be time to talk about treating the Mon roe doctrine as obsolete That will depend, however, upon circumstances -Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

The Republican leads the Ari- zona newspaper procession. 1T you are a stranger you may as certain this by observation. If you are an advertiser you may have a practical illustration of the fact by advertising in the diff ferent papers and balancing the results. The Republican is read in every household in this town. It is read daily by hundreds Of people in Prescott, Jerome, Tue son, Mesa, Tempe and other inn portant towns in Arizona. Its circulation is increasing rapidly. It Is taxing the place o; the Cal ifornia papers with many people who appreciate the advantage of getting the news fresh. The Re publlean's advertising rates are higher than those of other Phoe- nix papers, but it's subscription price is low and it is the only newspaper in the territory that appears every day in the year. The business men of this town appreciate The Republican, as witness it's advertising columns. No newspaper in the southwest presents such an attractive list of business announcements.

MILK AS FOOD.

It is generally supposed that milk
pends on circumstances. Taken in
connection with full diet of solid food
it will, but if stout person should
confine himself to milk he would lose
in weight. 80.
: The amount of nutrition in one pint
, Of milk is equal to that in six ounces
of beef or mutton. In New York city
100000 quarts Of milk are consumed
daily. If it is desired to sterilize milk,
heat it to the boiling point and keep it
at that, degree from twenty minutes to
two hours: s
Drinking milk is bad for persons who
take plenty of exercise or work hard !,
therefore requiring a large amount OF
nutrition, for such quantity of milk
must be drunk to supply enough nutri-
ton that there will be an excess Of al
bumen, fat and water taken into the
system and billiousness will result.
There is no other article of food
which is so capable of sustaining life
for an indefinite period as milk. In
some illnesses, such as typhoid fever, it
forms almost the sole diet, but il the
diet is designed to increase bodily
strength milk is not to be counted on,
The excessive drinking OF milk by
adults is claimed by some physicians
to be- positively Injurious.

Miss Florence Higgins of Fran "is-
vile, Ind, is the first and only woman
in the world to occupy the chair OF
elocution and rhetoric in a law college.
The position Of instructing lawyers IN
elocution and rhetoric is one that
would hardly be associated with a very
attractive young woman, even in these
days when up-to-date women are max
ing their way in almost every known
occupation. Elocution and rhetoric
are to the student of law two import
ant branches of his education, and can
not be passed over with scant attention,
as they are usually by the average col
lege boy. The professor of these
branches in law school, consequently,
must have high standing and unus-
ual ability, before being able to secure
the appointment. Her success, how
ever, was not a surprise to her inti-
mates, for as child she was generally
regarded as a prodigy. She was born

at francisville, and at the tender age
of years she could read fuently. She
early showed decided talent for dra-
matte art, and at 10 years, as an imper-
senator, she was the wonder and ad-
m1ration of her friends. When only 13
she was graduate in elocution from
the Northern Indiana Normal School
at Valparaiso. At IA she completed
the scientific course of the same COL
lege' taking the degree of B. S. She
mas since studied oratory and dramatic
art. When only II she had completed
her studies and accepted the chair of
elocution and rhetoric at the normal
college, where her rare qualities and
exceptional ability attracted the atten-
ton of the management of the law
school, and secured her present unique
position. Apart from her ability IS

Spare His Life.
From the London News: We nub-
lished on Friday, Feb. II, a romantic
narrative of Lieut. Henderson's ad-
ventures in the Gold Coast hinterland.
Some OF his exploits were, it seems,
even more striking and daring than has
as yet appeared. When Lieut.. Hender-
son went alone into the Sofa camp at
Wa he was at first treated as a nris-
oner and his ,captors discussed before
and With him the manner in which he
was to be put to death. The victim
listened while till he was weary Of
it. "Oh, WELL" he said, Il can't be
bothered with your arguments. I'm
very sleepy; let me know when you
have made up your minds" and off to
sleep he went. The unexpected per-
formance saved his life. His calm in
difference persuaded Samory's men
that they had to do with some one Of
immense Importance Unwilling to
take on themselves the responsibility
for his death, they sent him unharmed
try. Once again Lieut.. Henderson
saved himself by like exhibition Of
courage. He found Samory on
throne surrounded by 1900 warriors,
yet when motioned to do homage on
his hands and knees he did nothing of
the sort. He simply sat on the throne
beside Samory, shaking that monarch
warmly by the hand. Thanks to this,
and to nothing else, he was accepted as
the representative of a great sovereign,
instead of captive doomed to death.
He talked to Samory of the queen and
Samory talked of himself. Thus mis-
sion which might have ended, as so
many African missions have ended, in
a terrible silence and suspicion of
unspeakable horrors, did in fact end
in a valuable basis for future relations
between Great Britain and a Moham-
medan power. III

Rhythmic Insect Sounds.

A most interesting field of investiga-

sect sounds. When a large number of
crickets are chirping at night in a field
they DO so spontaneously, keeping time
as II led by the baton of a conductor.
Professor A. E. Dolbear says that the
rate of chirp is apparently determined
by the temperature. So invariably is
this the case that when the number of
chlrps per minute is known the temper
ature with certainty can be estimated
At temperature of 60 degrees Fahren-
