be. His French, which. as rule, is
only used playfully and in inverted
commas, as 1t We're. has the genuine
Partisan ''racle." The Empress also
talks English well. but with a strong
accent and with an occasional quaint
turn of phrase. The boys vastly
prefer their mother tongue. and are
apt to "shy" little If an unexpected
speech is addressed to them in Eng.
fish. But they understand the Ian.
guage all the same. To hear the Prince
OF Wales speak German is like hearing
a German born and bred.

The Beers would neither have lost nor

THE CUBAN PROBLEM.
VIII BE Taken Up when Puerto Rico Il
Out Of the Way.

New York, March ia special to
the Times from Washington says
-Four weeks hence, the year allowed 10y
the treaty of peace with Spain for the
Spanish inhabitants OF Cuba to decide
whether they will be Cuban or Spanish
citizens will expire. Immediately
after that date. April l l, according to
the plan laid down by the administra-
ton ut the opening of the present SEES
sion of congress, preparations are to be
made for the holding of municipal cleo
lions and ultimately for the election OF
a convention which will decide upon
the Cuban form of government. To
that government, according to the
original programme, the United States
is to surrender the control OF the island.
Whether that programme will be car
ried out i'll its entirety cannot certainly
he said The senate committee ON
Cuban affairs has the matter before it.
The plan was Senator Foraker's, and
he secured the consent OF the admins
tration to it at a time when powerful
interests were contending for differ.
ent policy, and when they had pro.
g,essed SO far that the plan had been
announced to the public as the presi-
dents plan. Senator Foraker is conf
dent that it will be adopted, and it il
understood that this is the reason why
he is SO anxious for the immediate
adoption OF civil government for
Puerto Rico, with or without a tariff
annex. lie wants Puerto Rico out OF
the way, it is said, in time for the big
ger Cuban problem to have free field
Senator Platt, OF Connecticut, has
started for Cuba with Senators Aldrich
and Teller. Senator Plat is chairman
OF committee ON relations with Cuba,
and he, with Senators Aldrich and
Teller, form subcommittee which
has been delegated to 90 to Cuba and
study the situation. Nothing has been
said about the duration of the stay the
three senators will make. 1t is under

The new woman has revenged anOth'
or of the ancient wrongs of her long
suffering sex. In one striking Instance
she has turned a worn out joke on the
wife into an exceedingly serious PROB
lem for the husband. Ever since Joe
Miller wrote his joke book the man
who belonged to so many secret So
cieties that he could never stay at
home In the evening has beer. a M
figure OF the woman sitting at the top
of the stairs In the gray Of the early
morning. waiting for the husband. who
had dropped in at the lodge" has
had place in their pages. Sometimes
she has been armed with poker and
a ferocious frown; sometimes she has
been painted in tears and curl papers:
but. In whatever guise, men have al
ways seen the rich humor Of the situa-
ton and have chuckled with keen
sense Of masculine depravity and fem
mine trust and gullibility. Now comes
a woman to completely turn the tables,
and to illustrate for the benefit Of all
men what poor Joke the staying
Out-at-the-lOdge" habit really Is when
II Is carried to extremes. 1t appears
that the woman In question was al
ready member Of the d. of r.. the
Il. Of a., the c. of L.. the !. d. s.. and
the l.. of NJ. But one evening of each
week was yet vacant. so she announc-
ed to her husband that she intended
joining the u. of $. He, still clinging
to his ancient prerogatiye as a man,
objected on the weak ground that he
could not afford 1t. This was. of course,
treated as mere evasion Of the ques.
ton at issue, and in due time there
were six societies on her list-one for
each week day evening. Later she ex-
pressed wish to attend meeting of
the |. ID. S. at Detroit. Again the man
put up the plea of poverty. Straight
way the woman packed up her house
hold goods. sent her child to her par
ents in New York. and departed. This
was the climax. In all the history OF
staying out late to the lodge" as
joke nothing more complete
and final has been recorded. The sex
has Its revenge.

Writing in Education. Prof. james >.
Snoddy urges that more attention be
paid TO English composition IN ele'
mentary schools. 1t is true. as he says
that as a boy learns to pillow ny plow'
ing, SO he learns to write by writing
Instead of compelling him to memorize
rules and definitions with regard to
writing he should be allowed to learn
by practice. Not every boy is able to
direct himself in the right way. as did
Franklin and Lincoln. 1t Is the duty
Of the teacher to do for the young stu
dent what Franklin and Lincoln did
for themselves. Prog. Snoddy's sug-
gestion Is that the teacher should be-
gin by teaching the pupil to express
himself orally. and he should he urged
to talk freely of what he has seen ana
tell his experiences. This. however,
Is work that should he done largely IN
the homes; the parents should encour-
age such conversations. although most
parents suppress them almost as aD'
ruptly MS the dormOuse was suppressed

child has been made to talk. Prof
Snoddy says. he should be given an op'
portunity to write Of what he has seen
Meanwhile, he declares that the best
aid to correct expression is a knowl
edge of the best literature, and teach
ers will do we'll to follow his advice
which is to begin early and give then
as much as possible. The teaching OF
correct expression orally and in writing
should not be neglected in any element
