featuring and feeding. and we will have
all the corn 10 s5Fl that anybody wants to

products. SO they can afford to hold their
corn up.
Meats are likely to be high, because in
the last few gears our population has
grown faster than the meat-producing ami
mails. Then, iniu1icious grazing of semi-arid
regions of the West has been destructive

and he has not since given any inkling rs

railroad station for several days. picking
up a meal whenever and wherever he

the ferry 10 West Point, but a police SER
geant captured him al the landing. and
like an undesirable emigrant the BOAT that

Not to be outdone by any rival in the
importance of its discoveries. the British
Medical Journal has been seeking to find
out why city men take TO alcohol early
in the day When they have made a bad
deal" do they take snerry and bitters 10
drown their sorrow. or when they have
succeeded IN pulling off, a good thing
do they take champagne merely to cele-
brate the event? Ordinary people may
think so, but the theory is a mistake The
real medical reason Is the unDunctuality
of trains. An unpunctual railway Says
this authority hits a business man in
his most vulnerable spot. "It is on the
crisp activity of his mental processes that
his livelihood depends, and the evil effect
Of the unpunctual morning train is not
merely that il makes him arrive late at
his office, but that II causes him to begin
his work weary ana annoyed. The Two
great causes of high arterial tension in
such people are worry and chill, and the
one great remedy-prscucally the only
remedy Which can be got away from home
is alcohol Thus ii happens that When
the city man arrives from MS suburban,
home, chilled, worried and late, with the
stop-cocks on all mis- blood vessels. so tha,
his brain is starved and he cannot thinx

directors had therefore better look to their
ways or Sir Wilfrid Lawson will be on

FEW FLAGS SEEN IN HAVANA.
La Coste's Order Brings Forth Con-
siderable Criticism.

siderable Criticism.
Havana, oct S.-Havana is generally gay
with flags, but to-day the city looked dun.
most of the flagstaffs In the city being
bare of bunting
The Stars and Stripes were flying over
the public buildings and a majority of the
consulates showed the flags of their re-
spective nationalities. bur private resi-
dences occupied by the consuis, with few
exceptions, showed no flags
Particularly noticeable was the absence
OF the British cOiors over the residence of
The British consul, which is ON the main
square. This is considered an unofficial
way OF showing the displeasure excited by
what is considered an arbitrary and IN
necessary order
No flags were hoisted over the Spanish
consulate and Senior Sa grario, the Spanish
consul general declares that he will not
raise nag until Mayor Lacoste consid-
ers the danger of disorder arising on ac-
count of displaying the Spanish flag is
over or until instructions on the subject
are received from the Spanish amba ssa-
dor 10 the United States.
Mayor LacOste says the flags were Do
hlblted as a police measure to preserve
order. He Ind certain knowledge tnar
some Spaniards intended 10 decorate club
houses all over the city with flags the Gal
lego Club alone having erected ten flag
stats. This policy of the Spaniards. the
Mayor says, is one Of the pin-pricks they
employ for stirring up the passions of The
Cubans, while they themselves do NOT
break the letter of the law. The order, the
Mayor declares was not intended to sup
press the flags of all nations, as none but
the Spanish flag had caused any disturb
ance. The flag over Che Spanish consulate
if hoisted he asserted, would be protected
even at the cost of the lives Of Hundreds of
CuDanS.
