TWO AGAINST ONE.
Yet One Could Not Help Feeling
Sorry for the Wife-ShOwed
Her Mothers Nature.

a former well-known newspaper man
some years ago went to England and
brought back an English wife, who still
loves her mother country. The couple
have several children, among them a
bright seven-year-old boy, who is
thoroughly American. The other even
ing, while at dinner, says the Pitts
burgh Chronicle Telegraph. the hus-
band and wife were discussing the pros
poets of war with Spain, and during the
conversation the wife remarked:
"Do you really think the United
States could defeat Spain?"
Defeat Spain!" exclaimed the hus-
band. We'll, should say so. We can
lick any country in the world. and sev-
eral of them put together. Well,
should say!"
The English-born girl flushed slight
ly, her love for old England stirred her
heart. and she responded: 'Well,
guess the United States couldn't whip
England"
The seven-year-old boy had been
quiet up to that point, but he knew
some history. He looked at his mot hel
and said: Cant whip England! Why
we did it twice already and we can do il
again."
The mother gasped in surprise, the
father smiled broadly, and the boy tri'
umphed, for his mother had no more tc
say.

BLACKFISH ON ITS HEAD.
A Position That it Takes When I'm
the Act of Seeking Shelter I'm
Hole Through q Rock.

The blackfish likes to creep in under
overhanging rocks and into holes, and
in winter it is common for it to get into
such places and lie there for a long
time without eating, In waters that
it frequents it may be ssen at low tide
slowed away in such shelters. At the
Aquarium the blacl1fish in tanks in
which there are rocks like to loaf and
lurk about them. There is one tank
there containing small black6sh in
which there are fragments of rock per-
forated with holes made originally by
some boring mellusk, which have doubt
less been enlarged BY the action of sand
and water, says the New York Sun.
Into the largest OF these holes one of
the blackfsh creeps. As the rocl; lies
in. the tank the hole is downward, just
back of the front edge. and through the
rock. The little blaekfish goes into
this hole head downward and through
it until its nose rests on the bottom be-
low. It's position then is very nearly
vertical, and its head and part of the
forward part of its body may be seen
below the rock, while it's tail may be
seen projecting above. In this posi-
ton it sometimes remains for a day at
n time

MEN CHEAPER THAN HORSES.
Animal Hire In Some Parts of Russia
Exceeds That Paid for HUI
man Labor.

In Russia the wages of harse are
higher than those of man, and hence,
Of course, very much higher than the
wages of women. Thus, says Gunton's s
Magazine, in the Nishni-Volga section,
we tind the average pay of man and
horse to be about 72 cents per day; of
man alole, 81 cents; that is, 38 cents for
horse and "a cents for man. The wom-
Ell receive from 10 to 90 cents. In the
central agricultural region the average
is: Horse, % cents; man, 20 cents;
woman, 13 cents. In the southern
steppe: Horse, 36 cents; man, rs cents;
woman, 16 cents.
This is an interesting commentary on
the standard of living of Russian agri-
cultural laborers. It's meaning is, SIM
ply, that human beings are cheaper
there than draft animals. In other
words, It costs less TO keep them alive.
In the southern steppe five women can
be employed more cheaply than two
horses. Is it difficult to imagine the
condition Of ho1ae life. the dearth of re-
fining influences, the sodden, hopeless
stagnatiop that such q state OF affairs
reflects? Is it any wonder that the
products of such wage status as this
are individual degradation. social bar
renness, meager education. political
despotism, religious intolerance, and,
generally, type of civilization scarcely
above barbarism2

SUICIDE AMONG GERMANS.
Fhe stFonger the Fentonism the
Stronger the Propensity to
SeIf-Destruction.

Another social phenomenon has been
laid at the door of the Teutonic race of
northern Europe, one which even more
than divorce is directly the concom.
liant of modern intellectual and
economic progress. We refer 10 suicide.
says the Popular Science Mon tslly.
.Merselli devotes a chapter of his inter-
csting treatise upon this subject to
proving that "the purer the German
race-that is to say, the stronger the
Germenism te, 9. Teutonism). of a
country-the more it reveals in its ply
sical character an extraordinary pro-
pensity to self-destruction." On the
other hand, the Slavic peoples seem to
him to be relatively immune. These
conclusions he draws from detailed
comparison OF the distribution Of sui
eide in the various countries of western
Europe, and it must be confessed that
he has collected data for a very plaus-
ible case. There can be no doubt that in
Germany the phenomenon eliminates
in frequency for all Europe, and that
it tends to disappear in almost direct
proportion to the attenuation of the
Teutonic racial charact terlstics else

A CENTURY OLD.
Faithful Mother Bu7Jard Fes
Hafcheh Her Young In the Same
Tree fGr * Yrars,

The longevity of the buzzard was be-
ing discussed by party Of men at the
hotel here one day, says the Nashville
Banner, when Uncle" Charlie Smith,
tged "a years, declared that the average
ife of this fowl is 100 years. Four
miles north of Dickson, in lonely for
est, stands al old hollow oak N1th an
entrance at the root. In this Uncle"
Charlie declares that Is years ago, on
the 27th of this coming May, he found,
while hunting game, nest of young
buzzards, two in all. The mother bird,
which could be distinguished by a
white feather in her right wing. made a
great protest against "Upcle" Charles
intrusion, and he left the brood un-
molested. Ever since the same buzzard
has reared her brood OF two feecy gos-
lings in this secluded spot, and no one
knows how long she had occupied the
place before Uncle" Charlie found her.
The young birds, until they are six
weeks old, are white and bear strong
resemblance to gosling. They are
very timid and on the approach of an
enemy they always hide their heads
and leave their bodies exposed. Their
abode is very foul, and in these rs years
no animal has ever been known to dis
turb the nest, nor has a gosling ever
been known to die.

NEW ASPECT OF WAR.
Owellers at seaehcre Resorts Show
Reluctance to Rent the
Cottages.

4 great many people who have been
bIthely talking about rushing into a
war with Spain will, we believe, pause
and reflect and grow dubious when
they read the latest news from the sea-
shore-this news being noihi..e less
than that cottages and villages at the
most approved seaside resorts are not
in nearly as great demand as formerly,
and that if war really occurs there is
a question as TO whether Newport and
Elberon will not be practically desert
ed. says the Chicago Evening News.
This brings up the astonishing fact,
overlooked until this moment. that in
q war the enemy's ships might throw
shells and shot at the Marble house and
the Breakers and even at the Casino
itself.
Eminent historical authorities and
counsel learned in interna tional law
sdmit that this is so and that there is
nothing on the hooks TO prevent lowly
Spanish gunner from sending projec-
tile into Newport's best houses without
even an r, 8. V. Il. attached. Some au-
therities go so far as to say that d Span
ish captain might in a supposable case
land a boatlUad of marines of no social
ztandng at all and lead them right in to
the drawing-room.
Now that the fact has been brought
to general attention the mons;rous de-
Sect in the framework of things which
it serves to point out will be rectified.
Either there will be another interna-
tional congress, at which certain in
yiolable localities will be fixed and sol.
fmnly acknowledged, so that on naval
charts OF the future places will be
marked where not even cannon ball
can go without an introduction, or else
a nice, picturesque sea will be picked
out and set apart exclusively for the
summer uses of the elect.

A Lavish Reward.

There are instances seeming to prove
that parsimony is in exact proportion
to ones income; the larger the one, the
larger the other. A woman possessed
of several millions in her own right is
pleased to pose as patron Of young
woman in reduced circumstances"
This pose the woman chiefly maintains
