The Cuban Gold Myth.

If we listen to the voice of the charm CT or go to the books on Cuba for our information, we shall find that the mineral resources of this island include gold, silver, mercury, lead. antimony, copper, chrome, iron, manganese, pitch, bitumen and even coal. but when we come to look for practical metallic re- suits commensurate with these varied mineral resources we shall be disap- pointed. s
 The gold fiction is the most time hon ored for the original Spanish settlers expected to find rich gold mines in Cuba. According to their historians, much gold was taken from this island at the beginning of the conquest, but 1t seems probable that most of this was taken from the chiefs or caciques of the Indians and very little from the ground. "El Viagero Universal (Madrid, 1797, ) says: ''Some of this metal (gold) is still found at Holguin. Whenever the ex- istence of gold in Cuba is discussed this mine" at Holguin isinyariably brought forward. It is true that some work has been done at this point and little gold has been extracted, but there has never been any systematic exploration, and there is nothing there which may be dignifed with the name of a mine. - Jennings s. Cox, Jr.. in Engineering Magazine

Three Doctors in Consultation.
 From Benjamln Franklin.

"When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for medicine in the first p ace what experience tells you is best, to be chosen in the second place what reason q 8. Theory says Is best to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get D- Inclination, Dr Expert ence and Dr Reason to hold consultation to- gether, they will give you the best advice that can be taken"
 When you have bad cold Dr Iucli- nation would recommend Chamber lain's Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and safe to take. Dr E1peri- ence would recommend it because it nev sr fails to effect speedy and perma- nent cure. Dr Reason would recon mend it because it is prepared on scien tific principles, and acts on Nature's plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy condition.

YOUTH AND LOVE.

Youth and Love fell out one day. 6aid Youth to Love: 'T'll go my way
 And leave you broken hearted. I'll go through life without your aid I'll gaze on neither man nor maid"
 And foolishly they parted. Of went naughty Youth alone. He hummed tune in merry tone
 And never looked behind him, While Love at home was sad and sore And longed for merry Youth once more
 Alas, she could not find himl But Youth had not been walking long Before he hushed his merry song
 His heart was full of sorrow. He found 1t hard to stay away From Love, if only for day.
 He came back on the morrow. For Love and Youth apart would die Like flowers without dew or sky.
 They d fade if they would severi As long as there are tide and time In every land, in every cline,
 Youth and Love will be together. Joseph P. Galton in Philadelphia Times-
