Cuba isn't going to be quite as free as she wants to be. but she will soon be a great deal freer than she once seemed likely to be- The order to Gen. eral Wood directing him to turn over the control and government of Cuba to it's people on the 20th of next May IS made public, and it is an interesting document. It reads well in this coun- try and it will read well in other coun- tries.
 May 20 will be a momentous day TOT Cuba, and she will have some momen- tous days after that. She has felt able to govern herself for long time. She is now going to have a try at it. It is to be hoped that she will be successful. If she shouldn't happen to be perhaps she can by and by have the great good fortune to be annexed to the great, glorious and comparatively free coun- try that gave her her freedom.

ARCHAEOLOGY IN LONDON.

Archaeology, according to Dr. Fresh field, who lectured yesterday at the London Institution, becomes an ab- sorbing passion when once the initial stage is passed, and the victim is too engrossed to find time for any other oc- cupation He can find no better field for exploration than London-eVen without the aid of the street eXeaYator. He can see excellent Roman remains while doing business at the money or- der department of the postofiice. With little more trouble he can study Saxon remains in Edward the Confessor's Chapel or the Chapel of the Pyx, at the Abbey. The Tower and Bow Church woo him with allurements of the Nor man style. Then the parochial records of the city and of the city companies call for the explorer who has caught the fever He will have the joy of learning that the plague of London was preceded by three other worse plaques in the same century. and that the dog-not the rat--was officially regarded as the dis seminator After this we may expect to sna the stockholders forsaking golf and gold and rubbing brasses in Vest minster Abbey.-From the London Chronicle

THE MOVEMENT OF FISHES.

"The flight of birds has been studied
 time out of mind without yielding the first syllable to it's secret" said an en- thusastic amateur naturalist of this city, but it is not a whit more mys- terious than the movement of fish in water. Their speed, their sudden leaps from fixed positions, their abrupt turns
 in less than their own length, the ex-
 traordinary inertia that enables them
 to swim against tremendous currents
 these and a. hundred and one other
 things have been the despair of every
 investga tor. We know that such mira
 cles are performed in some manner by
 movements of the fins and tail. but in
 ninety-nine cases out of hundred
 those organs are altogether too small to account for the apparent power they de-
 velop.. In less time than it takes me to
 tell it, a three-inch goldfish in 6 glass globe will upset every law of dynamics

The Ballad of Jenny Jones

One robin doth not make a spring,
 Nor doth one Easter hat Come! hear the fate of Jenny Jones,
 Who never thought of that The March winds Whistled raw and keen Yet. on the Easter Day, This blooming damsei walked to church In all her spring array. A Bird of Paradise she seemed.
 Much glorious to behold; She came home looking rather blue And shivering with the cold. She thought of nothing but her hat, She knew not March from May; And for the sad mistake she made, She did forfeit pay, On Sunday she sailed dowu the street, Decked out in brave attire: On Monday wrapped in several shawls, Sat crouching o'er the fire. On Tuesday morning she was worse. Was coughing, sneeZlng, wheezing; On Wednesday, sick in bed with grip Half roasting and half freezing. 0. Jenny Jones' be wise. be wise! Put this and that together; The milliners may make fine hats, They cannot make fine weather. Oh. Jenny Jones! you'll come to grief, As sure as any gun. Unless you heed the warning voice of Mir Cuthbertson.

That freedom which is so dear to the
 American girl and which we are sol emnly assured is never abused by her
 is grandly upheld by Chicago judge.
 The question was as to the age at which a young woman should be per mitted to indulge in the luxury of beau. In the case before the court 1t was shown that a hard hearted father had denied his seventeen-yea old daughter the privilege of going to par ties with young men for escorts. The father apparently did not object to the parties but insisted upon performing the duties of an escort himself. The daughter pleaded that as a woman of seventeen it was plainly her right to have the services of a special escort from outside the family. Young women similarly situated will rejoice to read that the just judge decided in favor of the daughter And parents who do not realize their daughters absolute fitness to take care of themselves and do as they please can perhaps learn some thing from this Chicago judge. Girls who are seventeen years old often, not to say usually, know better what is good for them than their parents do, especially in the matter of beaus and any attempt to interfere with their we'll matured plans should be rebuked, just as it has been by this Chicago Solomon. A girl should have a beau when she wants one, and she should have the one she wants. Only in that way can her happiness and usefulness be secured Any girl knows that
