Cigars From Manila.

(F'rom the st. Louis Republic.)
Cigar dealers who have large surplus
stocks of Cuban and other tobaccOs on
hand are keeping eye Manila as
source of Americas tobacco supply in the
near future.
Manila cigars are cheap. The best of
them can be bought at the native stands
for 5 cents each, and very good smoke
can be had at the price of the despised
two-for. The old cone-shaped Manila ci-
gar, or cheroot, which was supposed to
give the best smoking when lit at the thin
end. is rapidly going out of fashion and
modern shapes are taking its. place. The
Americans in Manila are taking kindly to
the tobacco in the form of both cigars and
cigarettes, and it is predicted that as soon
the Manila cigars are introduced in the
states they will become the rage. 1t is
quite likely that steps may, be taken to
prevent the expectation of the bad quail
ties of tobacco which in times past have
given bad reputation in this country to
the Manila product. There are eight large
cigar and cigarette factories in Manila,
which employ from 400 to 1000 operatives
each. Beyond these houses, which con-
fine themselves mainly to the higher
grades of the market, there are nearly 100
smaller factories.

To Quiet Babies.

That humanity can bear anything to
which it is accustomed in early life is
proved by the selection of sleeping
places for their children by the native
women living in the slopes of the Him
alaya mountains. They are obliged to
work in the fields for the greater part
of the day, and have lighted upon this
extraordinary expedient for keeping
their children quiet while they are away
from home. Before going to work in the
morning they swaddle their infants
completely in bandages, leaving only
the face exposed. Then they place them
under a ledge of rock from which water
is dripping. By means of a bamboo rod,
a tiny stream of water is made to fall
on the baby's forehead. The dripping
of the water seems to have a lulling
effect upon the children, for they drop
asleep almost Immediately and remain
motionless until the mothers return.
Then they are unwrapped, dried and fed.
The natives declare this system to be
most beneficial to the child'S health,
and oddly enough, very few of them
succumb to the treatment, growing up,
for the most part, into strong, healthy
men and women.-From Pearson's
Weekly

The Proper Dress for Dogs.

In spite of the ridicule that has been
cast upon it, the absurd practice of pro-
viding costumes for canine pets still
prevails in Paris. In the windows of
the dog tailors may be seen little astra-
kan oVercoats with Innings of pink or
blue sheepskin. For travelling there are
lighter wrappers fastend round the
waist, by belts Of tanned leather. Cam
brio shirts with lace frillings are quot
ed at 16 francs, and patent leather shoes

complete the costume. Every we'll
dressed dog has a collar appropriate to
his breed. A Great Dane should wear
Mexican iguana skin lined with white
morocco. For smaller animals fashion
dictates a white calfskin necklet set
with turquoiSes, while four-footed tops
appear in orange velvet studded with
precious stones and hung round with
lockets.-From the London Chronicle.

Lodge. Senator Lodge IS eminently
fitted to write the best contemporary
history of the war, not alone because of
his ability as writer of American his
tory, but because of the position he has
held as a member of the committee on
foreign relations during the time which
led up to the immediate causes of the
war, and during the progress Of the
war itself.
Senator Lodge discusses in g. concise
and comprehensive manner the original
causes of the war and the relations of
Spain to the AnglO-Saxon race in the
new world from the earliest colonial
days. The conflict is not a new one.
1t began in Europe when England and
Holland were allied against Spain, and
after the latter had been crippled in
Europe, was transferred to the western
hemisphere.
In the first fnstallment of this notable
history Senator Lodge discusses 1.-The
Unsettled Question: which is the ques-
ton of Cuba and her influence in United
States politics and diplomacy during the
that is truly historical he presents the
history of Cuba from the first insur-
rectiOn of the natives to the time the
Maine steamed into Havana harbor, to
meet her fate a few days later at the
hands of the treacherous Spaniards.
Senator Lodge states concisely the long
account we have had to settle with
Spain, and shows remarka BILE power as
an historian. 1t is a relief after all
the hasty newspaper accounts to read a
calm and unprecedented history of the
exciting events of the summer of 1898
While the memory of them is yet strong.

THE "MA1NE" ENTERING HAvANA HARBoR

The last vestige of Spain's western
empire has disappeared. The final ex-
pulsion of Spain from America and from
the Philippines is the fit conclusion of
the long strife between the people who
stood for civil and religious freedom
and those who stood for bigotry and
tyranny as hideous in their action as
any which have ever cursed humanity
The work has been long one, but
Spain is at last confined practically to
her peninsula, where her people can do
as they please with one another, but
whence they can trouble the world no
more Spain has ceased to rule. Her
once vast empire is gone, because she
has proved herself unfit to govern, and
for the unfit among nations there is no
pity in the relentless world-forces which
shape the destinies of mankind.
We are prone to assign as the chief
reasons for the war with Spain the
cruel treatment of the Cubans and the
destruction of our battIeship in Havana
magazine and newspaper articles called
forth by the war have discussed these
causes as if they alone were responsible.
1t is natural that they should be most
prominent, because they were the i'm
mediate causes and affected the United
States directly. But the underlying
causes of the war are as old as the
United States itself, and have been
steadily working toward the results
achieved in the battles of Manila and
Santiago for several centuries. In the
February issue of Harper's Magazine
appears the first installment of calm
and unprejudiced history of the late
war, written by Senator Henry Cabot

The Castellane,s Home.

The new home in Paris into which the
Count and Countess de CastelIane (nee
Gould) have now moved has been in
course of construction for several years.
1t is not yet entirely completed. 1t is
in part a reproduction of the Trianon.
1t is situated at an angle of the Avenue
du Bots de Boulogne, the Rue Duret and
the Avenue de Malakoff. The best archi-
tects were engaged, and for many
months past the $50 workmen have
found employment there. The ground,
covering an area of zoos square meters,
was purchased for a comparative trif1e

as that of which the, Arc de Triomphe

pies a third of the palace Is to be mag
nificent with marble and gold. No
money is to be spared in it's decoration

tors, the count and countess have occu-
pied an apartment in the Avenue Bos-

The Paris Exhibition Telescope.

When the idea was first mooted more
than a year ago of constructing a tele-
scope powerful enough to allow the
moon to be viewed from what would
seem to be close at hand no little amuse-
ment was caused in Paris. Innumer-
able pleasantries were made at the ex-
pense of 1.-The moon a yard off, and in
the end the project was thought to have
been dropped, or rather it was never
supposed that it had been seriously en-
tertained. However, it is now an
nounced that the scheme is to be re-
allied up to a certain point. The image
of the moon on which visitors to the ex-
hibition will be able to gaze will appear
to be distant only about one hundred
kilometres, or sixty miles. The tele-
scope that is to attain this result, which
will far outstrip all that has been prev
iously achieved, is in course of construc-
ton. It's tubes, which are to be made
of steel, will have a diameter of over
yard and a half, and will weigh some
twenty tons. The instrument will be
what is known to astronomers as a
Foucault's siderostat. By it's aid it will
be possible TO take photographs of the
surface of the moon on scale ten thou
sand times larger than any obtained up
to noW.-From the London Standard.

BEAR CAUSED A PANIC
BE Tore Things to Pieces When They
Tried to Pull His Tooth.

Omaha, Neb., JAM 31.-An enormous
silver-tip bear, frenzied with an ulcer
ated tooth which its master was trying
to extract escaped from it's cage in the
Creighton theater today and created
a panic before being captured. In addi-
ton to frightening a number of persons,
the big bear seriously hurt it's master,
Paul Batty, badly lacerated Stage Hand
Mcdonald and tore the clothes off Jack
Rosenthal, manager of the theater.
Mcdonald was assisting Batty to ex-
and boys surrounded the cage of the
enormous animal, witnessing the opera
ton. The brute was fastened down with
chains and leather bands, but when
the trainer touched the liberated tooth
the bear gave roar and burst its bonds
like paper. With sweep of his mighty
paw he threw Batty and Mcdonald to
the floor and turned upon the crowd
around. They fed in every direction,
and the cage was demolished in a mo-
ment. Manage Rosenthal was climbing
into the flies. AS the enlarged beast
passed his hiding place he made one
pass at the manager, and, catching his
frock coat, carried it completely away
with him. He also tore the shoe from
one of RosenthaPs feet, and then passed
maze of scenery back of the stage the
bear vented his fury by demolishing
everything in sight. By this time the
trainer recovered sufficiently to direct
the heating of irons to subdue the ami
NAL. His roars could be heard for sew
eral blocks. He was finally driven into
the cellar of the theater, where,P sur
rounded by row of red-hot irons, he
submitted to being bound.

A MENACE TO OUR MENUS.
The Succulent Schweineknochela and
Leberwurst to Be Barred.

Congress is considering retaliation bill
to exclude German and French food pro-
ducts on grounds of suspected unwhole-
someneSS.
If it becomes a law the satisfying sau-
sage of Germany will be in danger of
sanitary exclusion. The enticing leber-
wurst will be barred out under suspicion
of evil designs upon the health Of a pie
eating people. The sueculent schweine-
knochel will no longer be permitted to
decorate our dishes of sauer kraut, and
sauer kraut itself may become anathema
maranatha. Even the dainty pigs head
sulze will be placed under surveillance
while the frankfurter bra twurst is certain
to fall under condemnation by reason OF
it's uncertainty of origin and pedigree.
AS for the Westphalia ham, accustomed
to be eaten raw, what possible chance can
it have to pass a customs inspector alert
to discover microbes?

der. resources of Washington market imi-

LOTS OF WRECKAGE.
Many Vessels Go Ashore on Van
couver Island

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 31.-The steamer
Queen City reached here today from the
west coast of Vancouver island bringing
the news that the Siwashes claim to
have seen a large vessel which had
f1oated on the rocks. There were no
means of Identifying the vessel, the
name board being quite obliterated.
Some cases of fish, life buoys, planking,
bulwarks and portions of the ships
deck horse were also found by the In
dams, but furnished no clew as to the
identity of the vessel. The captain of
the Queen City says the coast from
Quabine to Cape Scott is Uttered with
wreckage but the weather was too thick
and stormy to allow investigation. The
theories are that the wreck may be the
Conradoe, 116 days out from Kobe for
Tacoma, or the Celtic, 120 days from
Hong Kong to Victoria 1t is possible
that the wreckage may have drifted
from the wrecked steamer Protection,
or the long overdue sealing schooner
Pioneer.

AFRAID OF HER HUSBAND.
"And the Villain Sill Pursued
Her"

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 31.-Thomas J.
Wells of Chicago, who recently left San
Francisco very suddenly, and his young
wife, Bertha NJ Wells, met at the
union depot in this city and after a. brief
interview proceeded to Chicago, though
not in company with each other. The
young wife started east from San Fran
cisco some days after her aged hus-
band, who had stopped in this city. In
some way Mr.. Wells aScertained that
his IRife was coming through here and
telegraphed that he would meet her.
The woman became alarmed and tele-
graphed the police to be on hand as she
feared violence at his hands.
When the Union Pacific train arrived
Mr.. Wells was on hand, and so was a
police officer, but the aged banker was
not in a homicidal mood. On the con-
trary, he was inclined to make up his
differences with his young wife, but she
would have none of it. With a toss Of
her head she babe him go away and
leave her alone. Mr.. Wells complied
for the time being, but purchased
ticket to Chicago and followed his wife
to that city

Frohman's New Theater.

Another theater has been acquired by
Charles Frohman. Negotiations were
finished today by which Frohman, with
Rich and Harris, secures a fve-year
lease from the Sire brothers of the Lyric
theater, part of the Olympia block, on
Longacre square. The theater is to be
cut off entirely from the music hall by a
ffre-proof wall, and the interior will be
entirely remodeled and redecorated. The
tier of boxes will be removed and a
dress circle will take it's place. A new
entrance will be constructed in Forty
fourth street, and the theater will be
practically a separate structure. The
work on the house will begin at once,
and it is thought all the necessary
changes will be completed by the end Of
May. 1t is scarcely likely, however, that
it will be reopened until next autumn
