The body of a dead woman was found
In thewoods at Manchester last Saturday
When first found it was believed to be the
body of Bertha Lane Mellish, the student
who disappeared so mysterously from Mt
Holyoke college last fall, but since it has
been determined that it IS not her body.
The body has since been identified as that
of Sarah B. Costello of East Hartford.

President Mckinley regards war as al
most inevitable, and is awaiting the reply
of Spain to the proposition of this coun-
try that the war in Cuba be ended and
that Cuba be granted independence. 1t
is expected that Spain will reply by to-
morrow, and on her answer will depend
war or peace. The president will turn the
whole situation over to congress within
sixty hours at the latest, to be disposed
of as the national legislature sees fit.

The battleship Oregon is on a long
voyage from San Francisco to Key West.
The result of the trip will be awaited
with much interest, as this is believed to
be the first battleship that has under
taken such remarkable voyage. She is
now on the long course of 4,012 miles be-
tween San francisco and Callao, where
she will first take on coal. Then come
the following runs and stops for coal:
2 O66 miles to Putas Arenas in the straits
of Magellan, 1912 miles to Montivideo,
4, 227 miles to the Barbados and 1850
miles to Key West, which makes grand
total of 10, SIT miles, half of the distance
round the globe. 1t is expected that she
will reach Key West about June 1. This
voyage shows in a forcible manner the
advantages which would result from the
building of the Nicaragua canal.

The Coming literary GENUS.

Tho question is whether the coming gen
ius will DO native to tho cast or to the
west, says j. :. Tunison in The Atlantic.
Tho case of Japan makes tho student of
literature and litcSary possibilities pufisc.
Compare the situation of this empire with
that of England in tho time of the Tudor
sovcreigns. The likeness is noteworthy.
All the influences of civilization from west
ana cast arc focused, so to speak, upon n
poiltlcal ana social organism which is not
only wonderfully receptive, but which also
displays the capacity Of reaction in its own
original elements. Looking back at tho
history of genius and seeing how largely it
belongs to the people rs distinguished
from what may somewhat irrcvercntly bc
called the blooded stock of Il nation, one
icels like inquiring how deeply into tho
substratc of human life i'll Japan the alien
influences have penetrated. When these
reach the depths where folk tradition turks
and the popular imagination slumbcrs
then the world may well look for Il reac-
ton III which the nation will show all that
1T is capable of in literature
Meanwhile observe, by way of prcsagc,
that two of the most striking literary phc-
nomena OF the present day arc Rudyard
kipling, with his ovcrlay of Hindooism OH
English human nature, and Lafcadio
LEARN, with his varied experience, patient
~ inquisitire about everything Japanese.
Finally, whether Tic successor of Dante
and Goethe rises from Asia or from tho
west, all the light of the past shows that
hcwill speak not the thoughts of n nation,
but of worldwide culture; that he will nj
last unite the divided thought of human
lty ana combine in one view two civiliZa-
tons that have been in antayonism cor
thousands of years.

I.nsced OH From I,Iaxsced.

FlaXsced oil, or iinsccd oil, is obtained
by pressure from the seed of flax. Tho
seeds are usually stripped from the dry
flax stalks, II handful mt time, through n
set of iron teeth. standing in row, half
an inch ut the top and quarter of an inch
at the bottom. The seed bols arc then
well dried and thrushcd and winnowcd, to
remove the outside hull, OF capsule, from
the seed. The latter are then ground i'm
mills and the powder is subjected to power
iul hydraulic pressure, which extracts tho
oil. sometimes the seed is roasted before
grinding because the heat destroys tho
glinmy matter in the interior coating of
the seeds. The oil is therefore secured
more free from mucilagc, but it is of a
higher color and of more acrid taste than
that expressed from the raw seed. ST.

LOVE AND FAME.

Two maids wooed upon a day,
Both rich in favors MI would sbaro.-
Ono, love, laughing, winsome fayt -
Tho other, fame, surprising fair. :s.
With fervor both far pursued,
Nor ever thought wooed amiss,
But, 10, they parted by feud.
That way went fame, while love took thisl
Alasl could not cling to both.
But now was como tho hour to choose.
10 part from either was loath,
With this to gain and that to lose.
"Come, mortal, como with me-" said fame,
With flattering voice that charmed my
car.
"Tho nations tongue shall speak thy name,
And thou tho victor's crown shalt wear. "
Love, like an angel, lingering, smiled.
AYE, WOO her If thou wouldst," she
cried.
But love had conquered; like child
followed and was satisfied.
