DISTR ESSFUL CUBA.

Our little friend Cuba isn't getting along very well since we gave her her Freedom" Charles M. Pepper who has been in Cuba most of the time during the last four years and knows the situa- ton there, says that the general condi- tions in Cuba to-day are about what they were in Michigan or Nebraska, or in West Virginia in the panic year of 1894, with the tendency to grow as bad as they became in the following year. On big estates near Havana that in good times employ one thousand men apiece, not more than three hundred are now regularly employed One-half or more of the plantation hands are out of work, or soon will be. The distress of the country districts is the city's dis tress also. Havana is in the clutch of commercial crisis. Many of the smaller firms are quietly going out of business. The pressure on the big houses and the banks is tremendous. They are helping one another; there will be no sensational failures as long as the wealth accumulated in better times holds out. They believe that Congress has dishonored and repudiated the countrys promises to Cuba in order to plunge the island into bankruptcy to coerce it into seeking annexation. Nor is this opinion confined to the Cubans. An American who owns much property in Havana was talking with Pepper on the subject the other day. Its a blank ed outrage" he said, but we've got Cuba into the corner where she'll have to ask for annexation. l wish it could have come in a decent way; but since it had to come maybe it is just as well to crowd them. Palma will have to throw up his hands and quit inside of four months"

ANOTHER.

Another squabble in the Senate. Yes terday Senator Bailey of Texas felt that his honor, or something else, de- manded that he should tackle Senator Beveridge of Indiana, and he did it. Senator Bailey apparently intended to choke Senator Beveridge until Senator Beveridge should ''give up," or give up the ghost, but he was fortunately pre- vented from shutting off Senator Bev- eridge's wind or his life. He only suc- ceeded in tearing away part of the Indiana senator's neckwear As Sena- tor Bailey is a more powerful man than Senator Beveridge it is lucky for the latter that he was not alone with the furious Texan.
 It is evident that if personal en- counters" are going to continue in con- gress they should be better regulated. Rough and tumble fighting is hardly the thing for congressional gentlemen to engage in. Why wouldn't it be a good plan for each house to have sets of fighting gloves on hand, and when two members get ready to. fight let them fight according to rule? The pro- cedings could and would be properly reported and "honor" would be well looked out for.

NOT PERFECT.

There's always a fly in the ointment. We have been told that the New Zeal- and Arbitration act was about the most perfect thing on the face of the globe, and that it was working perfectly. But at meeting of delegates of labor unions at Wellington the other day the Arbitration act and court were vehe- mently condemned. One delegate said that large percentage of unionists now cursed the act and urged that a protest should be made against the dirty methods in which the act was car ried out at the present day. Another delegate said that after recent experi- ences of compulsory arbitration British workmen were wise in refusing 10 &C., cept it. Others spoke in similar strain. It was resolved to hold conference of all the unions to consider the position.
 This act forces the employer to ar- bitrate whether he wishes to do so or not. It also forces the employe to ar bitrate, and provides penalties for him in case he does not abide by the decis- ion of the arbitrators. The way it is working indicates that human nature is still human nature in New Zealand.

PRAYER FOR THE KING.

The Rev. Edward Miles, preacher in New York, has felt obliged to say: T do not believe in praying dogmatically for the restoration of the health of the King of Great Britain, as it may be best for him not to recover. Only God knows whether he or his son is more needed as sovereign at this Juncture."
 It looks just now as if the Lord thinks it best for the King to recover, and there is much rejoicing because of the appearance. But perhaps Brother Miles is right in declaring against what he calls dogmatic praying. "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to per- form" and it is not sensible for naortals to tell Him what to do, or even to ask Him to do things without regard to what He may think best. On the other hand. we read that the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much, and we are also given to under stand that importunate prayer is allow able. As anybody who hears much praying knows, there is lot of curious praying, but in considering prayer the good Lord doubtless considers the source whence it comes, and remembers that His human beings are human.

St. Paul's to Charing Cross, there are still lonely parts Of the empire many months removed from civilization, so isolated that no whisper of great events reaches them until they have taken their places in history. and are all for gotten in the great world. More re- markable still is it that in these days of imperialism there should be, even in an empire which shelters one-fourth of the human race, a whole community quite forgotten.
 Yet forgotten empire is much more than mere phrase. There is pathos as | well as glory in empire. The entire population of lonely island in the Pa cific, over which the British flag flies, was found two or three years ago to be ''close to death" through starvation. For nine months not a ship had called at the Palmerton Islands, and, though the heat killed all the cOcoa-nut trees and dried up every plant and vegeta- ble which could be used as food, the people of the islands were cut off from the rest of the world, and from food supply of any kind. Somehow, in the shipping arrangements which embrace Palmerston Islands the place had been forgotten, and the situation of the peo- pie had become desperate when the re- lief arrived. The owner of the island had died the day before, and the whole population was starving when a calling vessel, happily named the Empire, brought them food.
 The Eddystone lighthouse men. though left for eleven days without an historic piece of news, have never en- dured the bitter experience of the light house men on Percy Island, one of the many small islands on the Queens land coast. For months they were flor gotten" and the supplies which should have reached them in August arrived at the end of October, with the result
 that the unhappy men, 20 in number, were found almost delirious from lack of food. The food supply of Percy Isl- srd is supposed to be delivered once a quarter, but no food arrived at the isl- and after the first week in June, 1900, until British sloop chanced to pass in October. The islanders managed to hail l the vessel, which left behind an ample supply of provisions, and reminded the | Qdeensland Government of the light house men whose existence it had for gotten.-St James Gazette.

The Dreamer in the City.

As down the busy street I pass,
 Avoiding trucks and drays, In fancy l can hear sweet songs
 l heard in other days: l smell the apple blossoms and
 l take a sudden jump As some one rings q fearful gong
 And yells: Look out, you chump! In tender fancy l once more
 Look in q maiden's eyes; l see the blusheS on her cheeks
 And hear her happy signs; I see the lane in which We stood,
 l breathe the fragrant air And leap a yard as some one baTls:
 You fool, step lively thcre." An, glad old days of long ago!
 Once more l seem to hear The school bell ring across the fields,
 In mellow tones and clear; l see the path that winds away
 Down to the swimming pool, And some one grabs me, yelling: cant You see the car, you fool! The creek is flowing on out there,
 And there the town boys still Go wading where the bend Is, at
 The bottom of the hill, And 1 in fancy hear them shout,
 As here l fare along, In luck to dream and not be killed
 By something with a gong.

A report from Consul Bergh, at Got tenberg, tells of a patent on milk pow der obtained by Swedish inventor. Skinned milk is used chiefly in making the preparation, as powder made from pure milk does not keep we'll. It is claimed that the nutritive value of milk powder is much more than that of meats and eggs, and that the large quantity of sugar that it contains makes 1t an important factor in the formation of blood. Among general uses for the milk powder have been mention ed, for breads, instead of using milk; for making buildings, sauces, for mixing in chocolate, preserves, cakes, biscuits confectionery, etc. It would also be in important articles of provision for the army and navy, for prisons, poor houses, hospitals and other public in- stitutions.

Few women have as queer a pet as the baby rhinoceros which amuses Mrs. Cook, wife of the governor of North Borneo, a British possession. The gov- ernor's house is near jungle, which is filled with wild animals. Out of this tangle of ,undergrowth a baby rhinoc- eros strayed one morning to frolic in a cumbersome fashion on the lawn which surrounds the house. Native servants captured him without much difficulty and when they had tanned him pre- scented him to Mrs. Cook. At arst it was problem on what and how to feed the youngster. Cows milk and an im- provised milking bottle were the solu- tion. Sixteen quarts of milk day was the amount the hungry baby usually demanded and on it he has thriven and grown fat. If it were not for his single horn one might take him for peculiar species of hog. He is about the same size and covered with a shaggy coat of black hair. Mrs. Cook completed the
