A Saving Quality.

Gilbert White. the naturalist, was once university proctor, and of his performance of the office this anecdote is told: "On his rounds one evening White discovered an undergraduate ly- ing on the ground. sleeping the sleep of intoxication, with his outer garments removed and neatly folded up at his side. The proctor awoke him and sent him to his college with an order to appear the next day for judgment The culprit turned up in a highly con- trite frame of mind. White said to him: You deserve an exemplary pun ishment, but I observed one circum- stance which shows you are not wholly degraded. Your clothes were folded up by your side, indicating habits of care and neatness which appear in- compatible with habitual degradation. l shall therefore say no more.'"

You sabbie GodY ""Mr. At. torney, if you mean Do I understand the entity of our CreatorT will sim- ply say that Thursday evening next shall address the State Ministerial as- sociation on the subject of the Divinity of Christ and shall be pleased to have you attend"
 Needless to say, general roar of laughter swept over the courtroom at this clever rally, and 1t was some min utes, much to the discontinue of the lawyer for the defense. before order was restored and the examination pro- ceeded uDon ordinary lines. .-Argonaut.

Why We wlnE

No satisfactory determination has been made of the reason we wink. Some suppose that the descent and re- turn of the lid over the eye serve to sweep or wash 1t off; others that cover ing of the eye gives 1t rest from the labor of vision. if only for an inap- preciable instant. This view borrows some force from the fact that the rec ord of winking is considerably used by experimental physiologists to help measure the fatigue which.th the eye suf- fers.-Popular Science.

Powdered Wigs Formed an Important Adjunct to a Gentleman's Apparel.

It is safe to say that the majority of bald men of today would gladly re- vive the old, dignifed custom if they could. But, they can do the next best thing to it; that is, to revive the growth of the hair nature gave them.
 In cases where the hair root or hair bulb has not been completely de- stroyed by parasites that infest it, Newbros Herpicide will do wonders in the way of stimulating the growth of lifeless and falling hair. Destroy the cause, you remove the effect. That is the successful mission of Herpicide.

pointment of foreigners to office. This means that they are opposed to the "old gray fox, us General Gomez IS fumilIarly called, and are organized to resist hls election to the presidency of the republic. They also proclaim their opposition to the military element among the revolutionists. It would be scarcely just to call them 'sore heads" because many of the members of the Nationalist party are honest, sincere and able men, inspired by patriotism rather than greed for office. The sym pathies of the better classes of people are with them in their efforts to pre- vent the government from falling into the hands of the 'cafe generals and "swashbucklers" who claim great cred 1t and honor for ficticious services per formed in the revolution. While the Union Democratic party represents the material interests, the industries and the commercial classes of the island, the Republican party includes q large proportion of the highly edu- cated, and respectable professional men, and the National party, the rab- ble.
 Cuba has population of about l ,500, 900, of whom about 9l0, ,000 are native whites, l42, 900 foreign whites, 234, ,000 pure blood negroes, 2S6, QUO muIattoes or half breeds and II, 900 Chinese. More than so per cent are unable to read or write, and having always been subject to tyranny, do not possess the slightest comprehension of the principle of self government. They are easily influenced and subject to great excitement. They have pas sion for military display and love of show. "Cuba LIbre" is meaningless term to them, but is nevertheless their shibboleth, and under the skillful man. ipulation of military demagogues the emotion, which is called patriotism, can be easily aroused, but they have no army, no navy, no money, no guns, no ammunition, and it would be diff cult to organize them.
 Education is the only cure for the conditions in Cuba, and those who are familiar with the history of Haiti, San Domingo, the two "black republics, '" and the other Spanish American coun- tries, foresee its repetition in Cuba, unless the United States retain control of affairs there.

Political Parties in Cuba.

Chicago Record Herald
 At present there are three political parties in Cuba, the largest and strong est being known AS the National party, which includes nearly all of the insur- gent army and the most impatient office seekers The platform of this party is "Cuba Libre," and It's mem bers demand immediate indepe ndence and control over their own affairs.
 The Union Democratic party is com posed of the educated and wealthy peo- pie, planters, merchants, nearly all of the foreign population, and few of the insurgent generals of conservative character Their platform is, close and friendly relations with the United States and conservative policy. At naart tke Union Democrats are annex ationists, but they have not thought it polite to proclaim that principle.
 The third party is called Republican Its principles are almost identical with those of the Cuban National party, and the only difference is in its leaders. The Republicans are in favor of home rule and against the election or ap-

Is This Civililation7

There is an apalling significance in the recent revelations of the wholesale suicide of Chinese women outraged by European soldiers, these dreadful stories coming not in the form of sen sational and irresponsible publications for catch-penny purposes. but in au- thoritative reports made to the state department at Washington.
 It must be remembered that the sol diers perpetrating these deeds, in shame for being the victims of which the women of China are killing them selves by the thousands, are soldiers of the civilized powers of earth. It must also be remembered that the deeds are done in the twent tieth cen tury, not in those early ages when rapine and the violation of the women of a conquered race were the usual ac- complishments of war.
 When these things are remembered it is difficult for us to believe that civ llization is anything but thin veneer ing of artificial polish over an un- changing subject of sayagery. We shudder to read of the bestiality of ancient times, but is there any story of the deeds of those times more filled with horror than the story of Europe's twentieth century sins in China?-St. Louis Republic.
