Cable Cuttinu Tn War.

Although not cable laying nation and with strangely apathetic policy toward projecting new lines of sub marine telegraph in the past, our war with Spain has demonstrated that the Washington authorities were keenly alive to the importance of cutting or controlling the cables connecting Cuba with Spain. Of the many naval prob- lems which this modern war is expect ed to solve, that of testing the relative value of cables in deciding the fate of combatants is not the least. The isola- tion of Cuba from Spain was one of the first steps undertaken by our naval authorities, and the success of the work has demonstrated its feasibility.
 From strategic point of view the cables are therefore of inestimable value, and if earlier in the conflict the United States had severed all communication between the blookaded island and the mother country the war would have in all probability been shortened. A ma tion shut off from communication with the rest of the world is effectively block aded; but, so long as cable messages can be transmitted back and forth, the most rigid blockade of ships is some what doubtful in obtaining the desired results.-G. E. Walsh ill North Ameri- can Review.

He was singing in Dublin the part of Fiorello in "The Barber of Seville. !" When he had sung Piano, pianissimo, |" a voice cried from the gallery, "Mis- ther Ruby" The singer stopped mo- ment, and then again sang his ''Piano, pianissimo. Again the cry, "Misther Rubyp' The singer, at loss, looked at the gallery and at the leader. He was about to sing the third time when the voice cried, "Bedad, Misther Ruby, the full of your nose of snuff would be worth sixpence. "-Boston Journal

On the other hand. the husband ought to be sympathetic with the wife's occu- patton. It is no easy thing to keep house. Many a woman who could have endured martyrdom as we'll as Marga- ret, the Scotch girl, has actually been worn out by house management.
 There are thousand martyrs of the kitchen. It is very annoying, after the vexations of the day around the stove or the register or the table, or in the nursery or parlor, to have the husband say: "You know nothing about trou- ble. You ought to be in the store half an hour" Sympathy of occupation If the husbands work cover him with the soot of the furnace, or the odors oi leather or soap factories, let not the wife be easily disgusted at the begrimed hands or unsavory aroma.
