1HE next legislature of Alabama kCR will be more solidly democratic
 than, perhaps, any session that has assembled in the state.
 The senate will be solidly democratic. There was but a single close contest in the senatorial race, in the district com posed of Etowah and St. Clair. In this district Smith, democrat, appears to have defeated Hurst, republican, by small majority.
 The house in the next session will have a membership of 105, the recent consttu- tional convention having increased the membership by five, giving one each to Jefferson, Walker, Etowah, Butler and Fillmore. From returns received by The Age-Herald 1t appears that the democrats have elected 102 members, the republi- cans four and the populists one.

duced him to one of his tutors as an 'in- corrigible dunce."
 General Ulysses Grant was called 'Useless Grant by his mother because of his dullness as boy.
 Stonewall Jackson was noted for his slowness, but at the same time was re- markable for his indefatigable applica- ton and perseverance.
 MT. Smiles, the author of Self Help" tells a story of a boy in his class at school who was one of the greatest Of dunces.
 One teacher after another had tried his skill upon him and failed. Mir. Smiles says: Corporal punishment, the fools cap, coaxing and earnest entreaty proved alike fruitless.
 Sometimes the experiment was tried of putting him at the top of the class, and 1t was curious to note the rapidity with which he gravitated to the inevitable bottom.
 The youth was given up by his teach CTS as an incorrigible dunce,. one of them pronouncing him to be a 'stupendous booby.' Yet slow though he was, this dunce had sort of dull energy of pur- pose in him that grew with his muscles and his manhood. and, strange to say when he at length came to take part in the practical business of life he was found heading most of his school com panions, and eventually left the greater number of them far behind.
 ''The last time the author heard of him he was chief magistrate of his native town"
 Dr. Arnold said of boys that the difrer- ence between one boy and another con- sists not so much in talent as in energy.
 If your slow, backward child has per sistency and application, he will surely head the clever fellow who is without those qualities.
 Watch and wait patiently and do not be in too great hurry to see your childs mind develop, but carefully train his habits of energy and endeavor.

Live Burial Experiments.

Many persons have morrow of being buried alive. which is why experiments in testing whether one is really dead or not when he appears so are attracting atten- tion in Europe. The experiments of pr. Icard have been so successful that they have been approved by the French Acad- emy of Sciences. The doctor uses the well-xnown coloring matter fiuorescin. which he injects into the body. If per- son is really dead. the fiuorescin has no effect whatever. but if there is any life yet remaining the body quickly becomes

BLISS WILL PAY
CUBA A VISIT
Special Envoy to be Sent From
the United States to In
vestisato Trade
Conditions.

Washington Nov. 13. - An import.
ant conference bearing OH the subject
of the Cuban reciprocity treaty was
held at the war department Wednes-
day. the participants being Secretary
Hay, Secretary Root. and General
Tasker Bliss. The latter was called
into the conference at Secretary Hays
suggestion because of his expert
knowledge of the existing Cuban tar
iff.
Officially the United States govern
ment continues in ignorance of the
extent and character of the changes.
IL eay, which President Palma may
desire to make in the treaty. From
other than official sources, however,
has developed pretty clearly the dis
position oi the Cuban President in
this matter The cardinal objection
of President Palma to the treaty as
II stands is the insufficient rebate of
20 per cent. proposed to be allowed
on Cuban imports into the United
States, and Secretary Hays purpose
Is TO ascertain, ii possible, how far
he can yield in that matter and still
be able to rely on the support OF con-
gress next session when the treaty ia
submitted So far. his advices do not
favor any increase of the rebates and
indeed, he has been assured by some
persons with whom he has talked that
under no conditions would congress
to any substantial increase
IF this rebate.
Secretary Hay has determined to
clear up that point. and to that end,
after talking with Secretary Root it
was decided that General Bliss should
ne sent at once to Cuba to make a
personal investigation of the indus
rial situation and the fiscal possibil-
ties of the island. So IL is improb-
.ble that pending his return from his
3nban visit. the state department can
'dvance the treaty negotiations in
my way.
