upon the method 1t will employ to in

of the new Cuban republic on the Goth.
Instead of issuing II proclamation, the
department will send identical notes
10 all United States ambassadors and
ministers abroad that the military oc-

island has ceased, as Of that date, and
that Tomas Estrada Palma has been
duly installed as the head of II new
government of the island of Cuba
There will he no invitation on our part
to the nations to recognize the new
republic, but 1t is expected that they
will take notice themselves of the fact
that the United states has SO rccog-
nized the Cuban republic by sending
TO the island II minister resident and
staff OF legation and consuls, and It
Is not doubted that the example will

A Singular Marriage Custom.

The Kurds have very curious and somewhat dangerous marriage custom, which one would think would be more honored in the breach than in the ob- servance. The husband. surrounded by bodyguard of twenty or thirty young men, carries his wife home on his back in scarlet cloth and is desperately as- saulted the whole way by number of girls.
 Sticks and stones are hurled at the bridegroom. who. irl the coming home with his bride, can hardly be consider ed very happy man. for the irate amazons often infct on him marks which he carries to the grave. It may be that among the lady pursuers ult some of the bridegrooms former flames" who turn the mock a:.irk into downright earnest to uy'n@c sighted love.

At one little schoohouse among the moun- tains an old fashioned irish schoOlmas- ter was once employed who kept his boys grinding steadily at their tasks, but gave them permission to nibble from their lunch baskets sometimes as they worked.
 One day. while the master was in- structing class in the rule of three, he noticed that one of the pupils was paying more attention to piece of ap- pie pie than to the lesson.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Game chickens have more meat in proportion to their height than any other breed of fowls.
 When the chickens are growing fast, 1t is q good plan to mix little bone meal in their soft feed.
 Smearing whole wheat with kerosene or turpentine and feeding 1t to the chickens is good remedy for gapes.
 Adding some carbolic acid and put ting on hot will secure much better re- suits from the whitewashing of the poultry house.
 While 1t is at no time advisable to keep food of any kind before the fowls all the time, 1t will be an advantage to keep milk where they can drink all they want.
 Fowls do not run together in large numbers. They will always divide into flocks of small size and will select diff ferent feeding grounds, always pro- vided they have the opportunity.
 A growing chicken, like q growing animal, requires plenty of good. whole some food supplied literally and often in order to enable them to grow and mature rapidly and to develop proper ly.

Regain is for a 25-round bout at lis

referee: Charlie White, Seller, Johnny
Eckhardt or Jack Sheehan, of Boston.
Regain may have his pick of these men
but if he accepts the proposition for
the match it must be for the winner to

That Tommy and his friends still
have confidence in his ability to put

is shown by the offer of T. o. Nc

side bet against $3.50 on Regan's side,
that Tommy will win. Three other fol-
