CABINET DISCUSSES MATTER

Observation-Disclosures Hopeful of an
Early Victory.
Washington, June 1S.-The cabinet
meeting discussed the situation in
Venezuela, so far as it is revealed in
the press dispatches and in some cable
grams received by commercial compa-
MES operating in that country. 1t was
decided that one or two warships shall
be sent at once to La Guayra. This
action was taken not upon definite ad~
vices but in pursuance of the general
policy of looking after American citi-
zens in case of disturbances. While
the orders have not yet been given it is
expected that the Cincinnati and the
Topeka, now at San Juan, Porto Rico,
which have been held in readiness for
this service, will be dispatched at
once to La Guayra, where they should
arrive before the end of the week.
Later in the afternoon orders were
sent to the Cincinnati and Topeka to
proceed at once to La Guayra.

House Committee Desires Information
on the Subject.

Washington, June 1S.-The house
committee on military affairs has or
dered favorable report on the resolu-
ton of Representative Bartlett of Geor,
gias directing the secretary of war to
furnish the house information as to
what amounts were paid by United
States officers in Cuba to F. B. Thur
Der or other persons for advocating
Cuban reciprocity. The action of the
committee caused some surprise as a
somewhat similar resolution was voted
down about a week ago. The-change
is said to have been influenced to some
extent by the pending controversy Oh
the Cuban reciprocity bill.
Representative Hay of Virginia
called up the resolution and his mo.
ton for consideration prevailed. Al,
the Democrats and three Republicans
voted for the adoption of the resolu-
ton, the others not voting. The &C
ton was in executive session and the

DIED OF STRANGE DISEASE.
Woman's Heart Beats Eight Hours
After She Is Declared Dead.

Chicago, June 1S.-Practically dead
for eight and one-half hours, the heart
of Bridget Dempsey, a patient in the
county hospital, has finally ceased
beating. All action of the respiratory
organs of the woman had ceased and
the physicians in attendance pro-
nounced her dead.
The heart action, which apparently
had died away, grew stronger few
moments afterward and injections of
nitroglycerin and other stimulants
and artificial respiration were used,
but Intellectually. Still the pulsations
of the heart continued with regularity
while the woman remained, to all other
indications, lifeless.
DR.. j. H. Mustard of the hospital
staff pronounced the case one of Lam
dry's paralysis, one of the rarest dis
eases known to medical science. The
disease is primarily paralysis of the
respiratory organs, which does not act
Immediately on the heart.

1t is related of n minister of the
north that he agreed to accommodate

the parents house and the manse and
there baptizing the child at the rum

1t so happened that by the time the
parties came to opposite sides of the
bourn heavy rains had swollen it into
rapid torrent, so that neither party
could approach the other.
Unwilling to turn back with the
'bairn' unbaptized, the farmer pro-
posed that the minister should splash
water across. Accordingly the minister
stepped down to the stream and en-
deavored to throw handfuls of water
on the farmers baby.
Haze We got ony o. that?'' he cried
at each successive splash.

At last a few of the splashes were
communicated to the infants face,

in the usual form.

homes the farmer produced q bottle OF

TAME FISH IN A RIVER.
A Travellers Story of What He Saw
In Upper Burma.

When in camp the other day, I was
riding through n village when the viii
lage headman asked me if 1 would like
to see ''the fish, 1, not knowing what
the headman meant, at once went with
him down to the banks of the stream,
followed by several villagers with
baskets of sessanum and paddy mixed
together. Then the thuggi called Lay,
lay, lay, lay" for a few moments,
when, 10 and behold, a large herd of
ngatwe, or big, short, flattish fish,
came up just under our feet and We're
promptly fed by the Burmans.
The fish were amazingly tame and
tolerated being stroked and petted
even by me. There were in all about
thirty-three of them, varying in size
from eighteen inches to three and a
half feet long. the larger ones having
a girth at the gills of about thirty inch
es. They would go away and come
back whenever they We're called.
The villagers told me-and L see no
reason TO doubt what they say-that
these same fish come up against the
monsoon flood at the end of June and
go away about October every year.
They can recognize individual fish by
marks, scars, ETC., which they pointed
out to me.
The Mon is nearly dry in the cold
and end of the hot weather, and the
fact that these fish return to this one
village landing stage every year reg
ularly and never go to any other is
quite worthy of remark. \ villager
who kills any of them has to undergo
n penalty of 10 shillings by common
consent, and great care is in conse-
Quence taken of them.
The ngatwe of upper Burma Is n
very short, thick fish, tapering rapidly
from behind the gills to the tail, has
long feelers on both upper and lower
lip and has no noticeable teeth. He
makes very good eating and has but
few bones. L have often heard of tame
fish in tanks, but herd of tame fish
in monsoon river connected with the
great Irawadi is n very bizarre phe-
nomenon.-Burma Cor. London Field.

THE TURQUOISE.

The turquoise, the birthstone for De
cember. signifies prosperity.
The turquoise was familiar and IA
vorite gem among the ancient Next
cans and Indians of the west.
The turquoise fades when its owner
is i'll, and dies when the wearer is at
tackled by an incurable malady-so they
say.
The Germans claim that by its vary
ing shades the turquoise turns telltale
on the caprices and moods of its
wearer.
Shakespeare gives these words to
Shylock: HE would not have lost his
turquoise ring for a whole wilderness
of monkeys"
The turquoise derives its name from
a word meaning Turkish and is so
called because the first turquoises were
found in Turkey.
If your birthday comes in December
and you wear a turquoise, you need
never be afraid of falling off a high
place. One of the powers of the azure
hued gem is to preserve its wearer
from this catastrophe.
1t is also said that it has the power
of protecting its wearer against con-
tagion. a turquoise would certainly
be an ornamental substitute for vacci-
nation. Its efficiency would probably
depend upon the faith of the wearer.

who recently returned from visit to
Mexico. 1.-The international boundary
line is formed by Il street that divides
the two towns, and the boundary
stakes are set out with a very nice
regard for technicalitieS. There is a
saloon there which has more than a
local reputation, and the proprietor is
certainly an enterprising individual.
His saloon is located on the street di-
viding the two counties and at a point
where the dividing line is not clearly
defined. The patron of this saloon
buys his drink in America, and, step
ping across the hall, he buys his cigar
in Mexico. In this way the proprietor
avoids the duty on imported cigars
and can provide his customers with
the best make at lower prices than
most of his competitors.
''They tell an amusing story about an
American who imbibed too much fight
ing whisky at this saloon. When he
arrived at a certain stage, he allowed
his prejudices to get the better of him,
of his own country, he heaped anathe-
mas and hurled defiances at the people

can officers stood across the street al
most within reach of the pugnacious
American, hoping that he would stroll
across into Mexico. He did get over
there after awhile, although the trip
was wholly unprecedented. During
a harangue against Mexican institu-
tons in general and the police in par
ticular he happened to lurch too far
over to starboard and fell into Mexico.
The alert cops promptly grabbed him,
and, though he didn't get chance to
take in the sights, he paid quite an ex-
tended visit to the country he had so
eloquently maligned." Free

ORIGIN of Our secret service.

The United States secret service had
its origin in the early, sixties under the
auspices of the war department. 1t ac-
tually grew out of the fact of Captain
Lafayette &. Baker of the Union army
offering his services to Secretary Sew
ard as a police scout to gather informa-
ton concerning the Confederate army.
During the war the United States be-
gan the issuance of greenbacks. Then
came tie first appearance Of green

1861 or 1862 $4,000 was appropriated
for the maintenance of Bakers service
to suppress counterfeiting. The super
vision of the service was then under
