Wealthy Mono,naniacs.

It Is well known that many rich men
ire haunted by the fear that they will
become poor. the dread being SO strong
III some cases that it amounts to q
mania. An Englishman whose income
g twenty thousand pounds a year is
aow Impressed with the belief that he
has not enough to live upon. but is
comforted by finding on his plate at
the breakfast table each weekday
morning a sovereign. OF which. most
likely. he Is careful not to spend more
than a half, or perhaps one-fourth.
Some few years ago q rich man. who
had devoted all his life to making a
fortune-which he fancied that he had
lost-was employed in his own garden
at one pound q week, and attained a
great age. with perhaps rs much hap
plness as he had ever enjoyed. After
all there Is not much need to pity such
men, and no especial reason to blame
them. They had no opportunity in
their young days Of learning how to
enjoy recreation, and they never knew
the duty of having q hobby.

The, Knew Ma.

The train had stopped for a few min
utes at a station out on the plains, and
two or three barefooted little boys and
girls had their backs against the depot
and their fingers in their mouths, while
they stared at the passengers.
Suddenly q boy Of about 10 years
dashed round q orner Of the station
and called to his brother and sister:
"You, Joey! Ma says IL you an Mag
gle don't come right straight home
she'll-shell-well, 1 forgit what, but
she'll do 1t, sure. for you know what
ma is when she gifts started; so you'd
better git home straight offw
Joey and Maggie evidently knew
what ma was when she got started"
for they started homeward as fast as
their bare little feet would carry them.

The Time OF Births ana Deaths.

The Time OF Births and Deaths.
According to the British Medical
Journal, Raseri, who has analysed 25.-
474 cases Of death and 88,515 Of birth,
where the exact time Of day was noted,
finds that the maximum number Of
deaths occur in the early afternoon e
to 2 p. MI, and the minimum in the
last hours before midnight, while the
maximum number Of births occur in the
early hours Of morning, and the mini
mum in the early hours OF the after
noon. AS regards the cause Of this, he
points out that the hours of the maxi
mum number Of deaths are precisely
those when the pulse rate and tempera-
ture are at their highest in health, and
when there is q febrile excerbation in
illness.

A True story.

Some years ago, in a certain town in
the North, says Spare Moments, a gentle
man possessed of more money than edu-
cation was asked to address the scholars
attending one of the local schools some
Sunday afternoon. The day arrived and
our friend was called upon.
We'll, children" said he. us not used
to public speyking, but I remember when
L was lad | was very fond of hearing a
story. Shall 1 tell a story?"
The children asserting he proceeded:
once upon time, many years ago,
there was lad, very good lad, who went
regularly to Sunday school, and nivver
missed. But one Sunday afternoon. as he
was gavin TO school, two bad boys met
him and persuaded him to gan birdnest-
ing wiz 'em. So they went lang by the
river side, and by-and-by they came tiv a
tree, and in the tree, on a branch which
over-hung the wetter, was a nest. The
two bad lads sent the good lad to climb
the tree and fetch the eggs. Up he went
and got out on the branch, farther and
farther. and just as he was reaching out
his hand to tax the nest the branch brok'
and he fell into the river and was
drooned."
After waiting a few moments to allow
his hearers to thoroughly grasp the full
extent of the catastrophe, he resumed

HEAVY IMMIGRATION.

The outlook is that the current year will
witness an exceptionally heavy immigra-
ton movement The Spring movement"
has just fairly set in, and it is very
strong. Last year, just before and during
the war with Spain, the number of i'm
migrants to arrive dropped off greatly
Now, il seems, those who would have
come last year but for the war have de-
termined to come during the current
twelve months, together with the present
years normal supply, and a considerable
number of others who have been attracted
to the United States as a result of the
advertising which the country has had
because of the war.
The large majority OF. the immigrants
now arriving, according to the officials of
the immigration office, are of desirable
classes, many of them being bona fide
homeseekers who will make good citizens.
The larger proportion of the present move
ment is made up of Swedes, Firms, Rus
sian Mennonites, Irish, and some Italian
farmers who are far above the average
of their countrymen who come to this
country. These latter have, as a usual
thing, made some arrangements for the
taking up of abandoned farms in New
England or securing farms in the Middle
West. The lower grades of Italians. and
the Turks and Syrians and other Eastern
peoples, who are not regarded with favor
at the immigration office, are not repre-
scented largely among the newcomers The
immigrants from Scandinavia, Russia and
the British Isles will quickly be absorbed
in the general population, and it is to be
expected, in a dozen years will be as good
Americans as if they had lived in this
country all of their lives.
striking feature of recent steamship
arrivals has been the number of young
Irish girls brought over. These girls, it
is understood. nearly all have cousins
in this country, and they come here with
view to going into domestic service until
such time as they can better their fortunes
by marriage. Four hundred Of them. with
few If any over II years of age, arrived
in New York the other day. The arrival
should have proved boon to housewives
troubled by the domestic servant prob
lem.
In former years many immigrants reach
ed these shores without dollar in their
pockets, and without a friend TO take
charge of them. Now, it is stated. that
sort of thing is rarely seen. Every new
conner has from IS to 500. and hence is
not likely 10 become public charge upon

GouEz.s Recommendations.

What is to be thought of the recommen>
dalton which Gen. Gomez has made 20
Gen. Brooke--the recommendation. that
there shall be a standing army in Cuba
composed of 1900 natives? Doesn't that
iook as II Gen. Gomez desires to have
the command of such an army, and doesn't
it excite suspicion that he is looking for
ward to a time when our government will
be invited TO Withdraw its troops from the
island whether it thinks it wise to do so
or not?
Why should the Cuban people be bur
dened with a standing army of 1900 men,
or, in fact. any standing army at all?
They are in no danger Of being attacked
by foreign power as long as the govern
ment Of the United States looks after their
welfare, and it has spent enough to free
them from the yoke of Spain to justify
the conclusion that it will look after il
for a long time.
Before the beginning of the war with
Spain we had an army of only about 81,
900 men, and we are a nation of 100000
people. while Gomez wants an army of To-
900 men for Cuba, which has a popula-
ton of less than 100000.
Cuba doesn't need an army. She needs
a few hundred mounted police in those
provinces which are in danger of being
overrun by bandits, and a force of that
kind will, in all probability, be provided.
1t will be good while. however, before
Cuba will have a standing army of 1900
men or even 1000.
There seems to be ground for thinking
that Gen. Gomez is not quite as frank as
he appears TO be-that he has a plan Of
putting himself at the head of affairs in
Cuba 1t is doubtful if the President and
his advisers have the most implicit contl-
dence in him. He may intend to do what
he thinks is for the best interest of the
Cuban people, and it is to be hoped that
such is his intention. but it would not
be at all surprising if il should turn out
that he is ambitious to be at the head of
affairs, and that he intends to occupy that
position if 1t be possible 10 reach it.
The tone of the articles which are ap-
pearing in some of the newspapers in Ha-
vana indicate that there are some des-
perate Adventures in the Cuban capital
and that they don't care so much about
Cuba as they do about getting for them
selves high offices to which are attached
fat salaries. These men will stir up strife
if they are given half chance. 1t is
going to give our government more real
trouble to get an intelligent and stable
government established in Cuba than it
did to drive the Spaniards out of the ISL
and.

THE PURE FOOD INVESTIGATION.

The people are profoundly interested in
the investigation which is being made by
the Senate pure food committee, and are
startled and even alarmed blythe discover
les which it is making, but what they want
to know is, what is the use of the inves-
tigatlon? If the manufacturers and deal
ers in food products are to be permitted
to continue to adulterate these products
with poisonous ingredients, what is the
use of the investigation? Why tell the
public about the poisons which are being
consumed in articles of food if such adul-
terated articles are not to be kept out of
the market?
1t may be said that Congress will use
the report as the basis for legislation
prohibiting articles of food which are
adulterated with substances which are
harmful to the human system. But sup
pose laws of that kind are passed. of
what benefit are they unless enforced?
There are laws on the statute books
against selling oleomargarine for pure but
ter. The law requires it to be sold for
exactly what it is. but who pays any at
tention to the law? The laws respecting
oleomargarine and other articles of food
for the protection of the public have
been dead letters for long time.
It is useless TO spend the public money
in Investigations unless the laws based
on such investigations are enforced. No
doubt the Senate meant well In ordering
an investigation of the different articles
of food which are offered FOR sale in the
markets of the country. but the people
win not be benefited unless inspectors
are appointed to see whether or not the
laws are violated, and to prosecute those
who violate them.
There is no doubt that the health of
very large percentage of the people of
the entire country is injured by the poi
soppus substances with which some of the
articles of food are adulterated. The only
way to put stop to the adulteration Of
foods is 20 vigorously prosecute those who
are guilty of defraudlng and injuring the
people in this manner

Concerning the Shape of an Annes-
thetic.

1t Is Bath physician who, according to
the Lewiston Journal, tells the following:
Some time ago I happened to spend
the night in a country town not far from
Bath, ard it happened that there was
stopping al the same hotel an itinerant
eye specialist.
I'VE drifted into conversation, and
during the course of the evening he told
me of some of the marvellous operations
he had performed on the eye. One case
in particular he spoke of that caused me
considerable establishment for I didn't
know, l confess, that the operation had
been successfully performed. He said he
had recently taken out a patients eye,
scraped the back of IL and returned it to
it's proper place. The patient, he said,
was never troubled by bad eyesight after
ward.
That was difficult operation doctor, -
said I.
YES" said he. 'it was"
81 suppose you found it necessary to
employ an anaesthetic?"
yes, did, he admitted
What anaestehtic did you use, doctor?'
I persisted.
"Oh, well, unless you are familiar with
such operations you probably wouldn't
understand if I were to tell you. But
well, it was shaped something like a
spoon" explained the eminent specialist
