Ruling Contrasts.

The ear and the kaiser have little in common. save they arc both rulers or millions of people. and in no way Is this oppositeness of taste and character shown more distinctly than by the effect of their caricatuIes upon them. The latter gentleman gets as mad as hat ter when be is made fun of. while the other enjoys the hit quite as much as If it was At somebody else. For the czar is a capital carieaturist himself. and his drawings afford infinite amusement among bis own family and with the ia yored courtiers be bas permitted to view them. It Is not singular, then. that the weakness of his imperial cousin of Germany makes him impatient and intolerant of Williams continual pose. for the mind that is receptive of jokes has no room for sympathy for the per son who cannot take one, or, in short "seo one. as the kaiser Is incapable of doing.

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

"Ths small banana planter of Hon- duras is the happiest creature on earth. uid a local shipper. "and nothing over removes him from his philosophio calm. The frightful hurricane which raged along the Hondurian coast absolutely destroyed scores of little plantations The trees were plueked out of the earth like blades of grass, the fragile build' iugs were blown into kindling wood. and nothing whatever was left to tell the tale. Happening anywhere else. such a disaster would have been a tragedy of the first order and meant incalculable suffering. but nature Is very kind Co her children on the banana coast All that is necessary Co rehabilitate the ravaged plantations Is Co stick few clippings in the ground and wait for them Co take root and bear.

This is done by ty- ing a native rope around four suitable trees and laying cane stalks erosswise over tho top.

Many Lives Thought to Have Becn
Destroyed In ManitOba.

Winnipeg, April o3-It is believed that
q or 30 lives have been lost in forest
fires that are burning for miles along the
Southeastern railway tracks. The delay
ed regular Southeastern mixed train
reached this city with about % passen-
gers. mostly lumbermen who have been
working in the different camps. They
fully confirmed all reports as to the seri-
GUS nature of the fire and expressed fears
as to the safety Of many of the men at
Keith's camp The fire started as early
as Tuesday last, but for several days it
burned slowly on account of the light
winds. Thursday evening the wind rose,
and the flames gained Roadway at an as
founding rate. Before navy hours it was
sweeping a strip three mhes wide and de-
stroying everything before it.
Some idea of the ferceness of the flames
may be gathered from the fact that the
water tank at Vassar Siding was de-
stroyed. though it is of metal and was
filed with water at the time. Those
coming in on the train state that not one
stick of either Keith's or Buchanan's out
fits was saved and that in all probability
! great many horses persisted. One man
even went so far as to say that the men
had no time to escape from their camps
owing to the rapidly with which the fire
| Travelled and that they were compelled to
fight back the flames from the open
space around their camping places. lie
thinks they are hemmed in and that their
chances of escaping are slim. This view,
however, was not shared by the others.
| In addition to the immense quantity of
standing timber destroyed it is said that
| 5000 cords of ties have gone up ir smoke.
| Doctors have gone to the scene on Il spe-
| cial train

1t is unfortunate that as good a
performance as "Old Lavender
should have such a small audience,
but it is a note worthy fact about
Barre that sometimes it is an impos-
sibility to get good attendance.
The opening was a farce "Nugent
the Rubber and was highly appre-
ciated, but when "Old Lavender
was placed on the boards the audience
were taken Immediately and remained
so until the final scene in the last
act.
Ed Harrigan cannot be too highly
spoken of as an actor and his singing
Is also of the highest class. His Co.
needs no praise as they were all ex-

~, chief signal officer Of the army has
positive information that the interruption
OF the cable between Iloilo and Manila

not by the insurgents, as has been report.
ca. General Greedy explains that the
break occurred in the deep sea, and moth.
ing short of seagoing Vessel fully equip
ped for the purpose, which the insur.
gents 40 not possess, could possibly Crap
pie and cut the cable. The break occur
req about week ago, and the signal
corps is now at work on the break. It is
expected that communication will be re-
stored by May 1. In view of the fact
mat breaks in the cable are likely to oc.
cur at any time from the earthquake
shocks an alternative line is now being
laid from Manila to Sebu along the north
coast of Luzon, which it is thought will
practically insure communication at all
times between these points.
