Prison Life In Maine.

A wel1-known waterfront character
In Bath, Me-. recently spent month
in Jail at Wiscasset and rather en-
joyed 1t. The warden treated the man
leniently, allowed him to go fishing
and enjoy other reliefs to the monotony
of prison life and used him as mail
messenger and errand boy. One night
the prisoner was delayed on mission
to the post Office and did not arrive at
the Jail until after six, when the insti-
tuition is closed for the night. The war;
den was waiting for the delinquent
and gave him small lecture, ending
by saying: IF you are as late as this
again I shall lock you out!" The pris-
oner was careful to be on time after

warned by a Mockfng Bird.

A mocling-bird with military tastes
Is described by a correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle, London, writing from
Ladysmith during the siege. He says:
while Putting Billy was firing tried
to get sight of a small mocking-bird,
which has learned to initiate the warm
ing whistle of the sentries. In the Cor
dons the Hindu Purriboo-S Singh, from
Renares, stands on a huge heap of
sacks under an umbrella all day and
screams when he sees the big gun flash.
But in the other camps, as / have men
toned, q sentry gives warning by blow
ing whistle. The mocking-bird now
sounds that whistle at all times of the
day, and, what is even more perplexing,
he is learning to initiate the scream
and buzzing of the shell through the
air."

Henderson's Suspicious Act.

Despite the scandalous developments
that have been unearthed in the whole
sale thievery carried on by the carpet
bag clique that has been systematically
robbing the Cuban postal funds for
months past out of vast sums of moneys
despite the fact that their rascalities
have been so rank and notorious that
Major Rathbone. director Of posts. has
been suspended from the management
of the Cubap postofice service and As
sistant Postmaster General Bristow-
who has been sent to Havana TO take
charge of Rathbone's Office and look
into the accounts, has notified his de-
partment chief that the postoffice rec
ords are in state OF chaos, and that
there are worse irregularities than
those that have heretofore been dis
closed by the special inspectors; despite
the confessions OF Neely's accompllces
and the turning over by one Of them OF
part of the booty placed in his Gus
tcdy by the head thief. Mr.. Heath's
particular friend; despite the presi-
dents swift and widely published dec
laration that no guilty man should be
allowed to escape, suspicious signs are
cropping out in Washington that a
congressional investigation into the
wholesale thievery committed by these
Republican insular officials will be
throttled just as the Gage and other
scandals were denied investigation.
A significant straw pointing to this
conclusion is shown by the action OF
Speaker Henderson in referring the res
olutlon to investigate Cuban matters
to the committee on rules of which the
speaker is chairman, instead OF to the
committee on insular affairs. which is
the proper body to consider it.
Speaker Henderson's sinstrumentality
in suppressing investigation into Re-
publican wrong-doing in the past is
open aud notorious. Mark Hanna and
Perry Heath are intimately connected
with the men who are implicated in
these Cuban embezzlements aud it is
doubtless the certainty of their expos
ure that is causing the administration
and its friends in the two branches OF
Congress to smother all Official inquiry
But the murder is already out. The
thieves are known, and the politicians
and officials responsible for their be-
ing supplied with such abundant oppor-
tunities and temptations to steal are
likewise known.
One of these thieves friends is the
boss of the Republican party and an
other is member of the administra-
tion. Speaker Henderson and his crowd
will only make matters worse by try
ing to head off the ugly truths about
Hanna, Heath and the dishonest carpet
bag appointees OF the Republican spoils
bureau who have been trying to steal
almost everything of value in Cuba
that was not nailed down.-Kdnsas

TOBACCO AND TIE HEART.

From The United States Tobacco Journal.
Tobacco has long been known to cause palpi-
tation of the heart in those especially suscepti-
BILE its influence. This always has been
Sidered. nevertheless. to be nothing than a
passing incident The palpitation usually dis
appears when the use Of tobacco is discontinued
limited. A physician from COnstantinople
reported at of the sessions Of the interna-
tional medical congress [ Paris n series OF
cases of organic LESSONS of the heart for which,
in his opinion. the excessive use of tobacco was
primarily responsible. In all these cases to-
bacco had been used to great excess, and the
smoke inhaled and drawn into the lungs.
French and German physicians. in discussing
disease for which there seemed to be other
reason than the abuse of tobacco Many OF
them occurred in cigarette smokers, but the
general opinion Of the medical men seemed to
be that cigarettes not particularly harmful
in themselves. but that this form of tobacco
tempts to more frequent smoking, and also en-
courages the inhalation of the smoke.
There seems be a distinctly growing inn
preston among medical men that, for persons
Rho are susceptible to it's influence, the use or
tobacco even in moderate quantities does harm,
8 temporarily permanently. The symptoms
of this evil effect are to be found mainly in the
heart and vascular system. 1t is noteworthy
that lately French medical men have to con-
siderable extent abandoned the use of tobacco.
American physicians attending the Paris conc
gress are apt to add here that the Government
monopoly in tobacco has done much to bring
this about The cigars of the reggie that is.
those made at the Government mandatory,
are bad. and the tax on all other brands so
prohibitive. that the only sensible thing to do
in France is not to smoke at all.

vance of that figure. The hunter
would hardly be satisfied with one
which had not won a value of $3.50.
There are millions of dollars invested
in this kind of property throughout
the United States now, all as a result
of that single dog kennel of 1874.
''The dog is capable of a training 81
most equal to his master. In fact, the
dog well trained has the capacity to
follow his masters mind SO as to al
most anticipate his desire. 1t follows,
therefore, that hunter must love his
dog and establish mutual confidence
which will enable them to work as one.
A man who would kick a dog has no
right to own one. If dog belongs to
dull man, he will be dull likewise;
if to an alert master he will come UP
to his measure. Therejis no limit to
the training of which a dog is capable
save that of his masters mind"

Where Men Fail as Lovers.

There are few girls who do not
cherish the idea that they could
manage the minor points of counting
far better than the majority of men, .
writes Christine Terhune Herrick in
Woman's Home Companion, discussing
the mans and woman's side of a
romance. In an engagement the
femme genius for detail comes out ct
it's strongest. Perhaps the girl does
not appreciate the mans lack in this
regard during the weeks and days pre-
ceding the momentous hour when the
great question is asked and answered.
Possibly the futter of uncertainty,
the glamour of expectancy, render her
oblivious to minor matters. But when
the affair is settled, when the agree
able amble of engagement that pre-
figures the jog-trot of matrimony is
fairly under way, she has time to OBJ
serve trif1es. 1t is at this point of the
proceedings that only one man in one
thousand scores the success of his life.
The other nine hundred and ninety
nine put in their time, ell unconscious
ly, in teaching their fiancees to get the
better of their ideals; for an ideal of
this period of life is an essential part
OF very young woman's equipment"

That jersey Coat.

There is an old story to the effect
that once when saloon caught fire
and the volunteer firemen were turn
ing a stream in the direction of the
bar, somebody chrieked "Play on che
slate! play on the slate!"
Of course all but the uninitiated will
understand that by playing on the
slate the accounts that had been
chalked up against the debtors of the
concern would be eternally washed
out Naturally it was believed by the
indigant proprietor that some debtor
had called upon the man at the nozzle
to soak out his personal Indebtedness.
The same sort of thing has just
happened in Jersey City. A goat
walked up a fight of stairs, entered
the clubroom Of young mems demo
cratic organization and lunched on al
the literature and stationery that he
could worry into his munching appara-
tus.
He ate the records, he ate the
minutes, he ate the files, he ate the
constitution and bylaws, and then he
ate the treasurer's book and with it all
record of the individual Indebtedness
of the members of the club!
And now the members who had paid
their dues are reporting around that
the fellows who were behind in their
payments trained the goat to climb the
stairs and eat the evidence.
AS for the Jersey goat, he wisely
wags his beard and says nothing
