Is Not Likely That Spanish Government Would
Be Listened To.


Washington, May 4-Gen. Otis has
not yet brought to the attention of the
authorities here any claim on behalf of
the Spanish government or its officials
for the restitution of public monies and
properties seized by the American
army of occupation upon the fall of
Manila. 1t is surmised that the Span

have been encouraged to attempt to
secure the restoration of the funds
seized by the American army by the
generous treatment accorded to Fill
Pine claimants. But while our

literally any bona fide cIIim of an in

Polish Jehus.

To drive slowly over cobblestones is
not a joy, but to drive four Russian
horses at a gallop over cobblestones was
something to make you bite your tongue
and to break your teeth and to shake
your very soul from its socket. l most
solemnly assure you it was anything
but a simple drive to one fresh from the
asphalt Of Paris, for. like Jehu. they
drove %furiously. Their horses are all
wild, runaway beasts, and they drive
them at an uneven gallop resembling
the gait of our fire engine horses at
home, except that ours go more slowly.
Sometimes the horses fall down as
they drive across country, or stop only
for stone walls or moats. The carriages
must be built of iron. for the front
wheels drop a few feet into a burrow
every now and then, and at such times
an unwary American is liable to be
pitched over the coachman's head.
Hold on with both hands. shut your
eyes, and keep your tongue from be-
tween your teeth" would be my instruc-
tions to one about to take a drive" in

chronicled. and the London press asso-

Times received but a short note, which
was this:
IA. Savage Lander arrived in St.
Petersburg today from Tibet after
suffering greatly at the hands of the
natives"
This was meager enough. but the
news editor was equal to the occasion.
The following morning, among the
other matters Of news. the readers of
The Times found this startling iutorma-
ton:
"a savage landor got into St. Peters.
burg yesterday, and the people of the
city were terrified. After considerable
difficulty the beast, which came from
Tibet, was captured, taken to a re-
mote place and there dispatched. 1t is
said that this is the first animal Of the

Petrfhed Water.

That beautiful transparent stone call
ed Tabriz marble, much used in the
burial places Of Persia and in their
grandest edifices, consists of the petri-
fed water of ponds in certain parts Of
the country. This pet%ritication may be
traced from it's commencement to its
termination. In M part the water is
clear, in a second it appears thicker and
stagnant, in a third quite black, and in
its last stage it is white like frost.
When the operation is complete, a
stone thrown on it's surface makes no
impression, and one may walk yer it
without wetting ones shoes. The sub
stance thus produced is brittle and
transparent, and sometimes richly
striped with red, green and copper color.
So much is this marble. which may be
cut into large slabs, looked upon as a
luxury that none but the king, his sons
and persons especially privileged are
permitted to take it.

THE average laboring man
who believes that he is liv-

must be stupid indeed. He
certainly must be reduced to
that state of being where ig.
norance is bliss and, to him,
wisdom seems folly. He can
not see ahead and has no
thought for the welfare of
posterity. To him prospect.
ty means the privilege of
working continuously for a
pittance while his employer
appropriates the earnings,
and as long as he does not
experience an unsatiated
munger and a Seml-nakedneSs
he seems to have an idea that
he is prosperous. But there

they can to enlighten those
who give no thought to pres.
ent social problems. When
