No Need for n Duel.

Duels are getting to be more and more
out of fashion in Havana, even among Gu
bans, but there is still an occasional ma
tive who attempts to redress his griev-
ances against Americans by an appeal to
the code, says a Havana dispatch in the
New York Sun. As a consequence the
rash man generally gets sat upon heavily
On Tuesday nighA lhst a 220-pound Amer
lean, more than six feet in hight, went
into an American saloon. There was a
crowd at the bar, and the Yankee, with
out intending insult, pushed his weight
in between two men so that he might get
his drink. One of the chaps wedged out
happened to be a little Cuban. Immedi-
ately he became extremely incensed al this
high-handed outrage. Diving into mis-
pocket with trembling hands he pulled
forth his card case and extracted card.
Then, with exaggerated courtesy he tap
ped the big Yankee on the arm and pre-
sented him with the card. The Ameri-
can did not nnderstand the Spanish ac-
companying the presentation, but he real
lied that he had been invited to meet the
Cuban on the field.
This having dawned upon him, he de-
liberately tore the card into four pieces,
buttoned his coat and reached for the
challenger Selling his squarely padded
shoulders, he lifted his 120-odd pounds
right off the floor, shook him until his hat
flew off and his necktie decorated his ears,
and then pumped him into a cone-bot-
toned chair with such kerchunk that
the breath fled from the little fellow 3
body.
Tut, tut?' said the big man. Don't
bother me again or I'll spank you!"
ThereuponA the American turned to the
bar again, swallowed his drink, and strobe
out, while the Cuban meekly rearranged
his toilet without another word. Having
done this he left the saloon, going in the
opposite direction from that taken by the
American.

Mr. Pyle, the soapmaker, who died in
New York the other day, was another
printers ink millionaire. Except for his
liberal use of advertising space, the prob
abilities are that he would have lived and
died a comparatively poor man. Horace
Greeley it is said. first induced him TO
advertise. MIR. Pyle had old-fashioned no
tions about trade and did not believe adj
vertsing would do his business any good.
Finally Mr. Greeley said to him: Here
is The Tribuue's rate card. Use whatever
space you please for one year. If at the
end Of that time you find advertising pays
you, then pay for the space you have used
II you find it does not pay, then pay moth
ing" Mr.. Pyle agreed. and at the end of
the year he not only paid for the space
he had consumed. but made a large con-
tract for the next year. And from that
time he was a consistent and persistent
advertiser, and paid out hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars per year to give his wares
publicity

Gators?

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says: "Ex-Gov MacCorkle of West Vir-
ginia, at the Newark Board of Trade din
ner last week, told these significant truths
:" In a night the South has grown into
a great manufacturing region.
South Carolina is second to Massa-
cf1usetts in the manufacture of cotton.
=" From the boundless wealth of our
Southern land we can give you in rich
profusion all the elements needed by you
in your foreign trade.
" AS 90 the position of the South on the
question of expansion, the acquisition of
our additional domain, excepting Alaska
was all by the practically solid vote of
the South. Sucn was the settled and per-
sistent policy of the South so long as
she had influence in public affairs
Politicians who are counting on the
South's blind support of the policy OF
anti-expanson should study the signifi-
canoe of the fact that three out of four
of the Souths prominent citizens who
have spoken on This question during the
last six months have spoken in favor of
expansion"
The New York Commercial Qnd) says:
Young Mr.. Adelbert Hay will probably
not be received with open arms by Dom
Peurs people He is the son of our Sec
rotary of state, and cOntemplates So
iourn OF some months in Pretoria as
United States consul. The office at the
present time is diplomatic rather than a
commercial one. Young Mr.. Hay is not
a diplomat. His father may think he u.s.
but then mis- father once thought that
Little Brooches" was poetry The first
essential of a diplomat is tact, and the
young gentleman has shown himself to
be completely lacking in that respect. On
his way 10 South Africa he took in Lon
don and hobnobbed for ten days with those
who are fighting the people from whom he
expects to get his exequator. If he re-
ceives the cold shoulder when he arrives
in the city where so many Englishmen
are taking up their quarters invountarily
he will have only himself to blame"
Discussing the Hanna-Payne Snip sub
sdy bill, the New York Times Dem)
says: 1.-THE bounty is paid mainly on ton
mage and speed. Ii Is intended to en-
courage the building of large and swift
ships. But the great volume of all grain
freights, the cheapness of which adds TO
the returns of the farmers, is carried in
relatively slow and small tramp steamers
and the competition Of these is the chief
cause of low freights. The bounties will
tend to discourage this competition and
viii come out of the pockets of the farm
ers ana the worhngmen. Surely we have
had enough OF the legislation that taxes
and does not benefit these classes who are
the great majority of the people. Is It
worth while TO extend the humbug?'

The Populists of North Carolina have
rugged up a new buga5oo which they are
inoustriousiy working in the hopes of
frightening the farmers into voting the
Republican, ticket at the next
election. They are saying that if the
Democrats win and the proposed amend
ment TO the consutuJ ion DISTINGUISHING the
negro is adopted, the black laborers will
leave the state for sections where there
are not SO many restrictions put upon
the franchise. and the farmers will be
left without labor for their fields. The
argument, however. is rather far-fetched.
There has been no general movement of
negroes from Louisiana on account of the
adoption of similar constitutional pro-
vision in that state.

 This is a very small subject. Man Is not his king nor woman his queen. The wood is full of him and he is no resPeeter of person. He Is auclose friend to all with whom he becomes acquainted.

 Since the first of June a party of ten sn frdm the Division of For. estrY, United States Department of Agriculture, has been at work on the lands of the Sawyer & Austin Lumbe Company h the vicinity of Pine Bluff. They will remain for the most of the summer. The work is carried on in accordance with arrangements made by the Division of Forestry with owners of timber lands throughout the country. The object is to secure an economical and conservative, but at the same time, thoroughly practical and business-like plan Of management for the owners of such timber lapds. A brief outline of the work may be stated as follows: The tree under consideration here is the short leaf pine (Pinus Eohinata), and in the first place it's "rate of growth is worked out. This is done by what is called "stem analysis, , which is simply a careful measurement ol trees which have been cut down aud sawn into logs, diameter and weight meas sarements are taken and the age of the tree is determined by count ing the rlngs. In this way can be ascertained just how much wood a tree adds to itself in any given number of years, so that one can tell, for nstance, how long it will be before young pine, say 10 inch es in diameter, will reach a mer- chantable s'ze. Having found out the rate of growth of the pine, the next thing is to make an exact esti- mate of the amount of tim Der actu-
