LOAN MAY BE MADE IN ENGLAND.
Several British Financiers Reported Ready
to Subscribe.

London. July 29-If Cuba fails to float her
loan OF $35.O00,000 in the United States, she
will have no difficulty in doing so here. Several
British financiers who have been approached on
the subject by the Marquis de Montoro Cuban
Minister to Great Britain. have indicated their
willingness to subscribe. The minister is unable
TO commit the Cuban Government, because of
lack OF instructions from President Palma. Min
lister Montoro understands that Senior Palma
will soon decide where and how the loan will be
f1oated, and the minister has promised to COM
municate the information when authorized to
do so, to the interested parties.
The Marquis de Montoro is establishing
legation for Cuba in Victoria-st.. near the
United States Embassy.

THE USE OF TOBACCO.
Ifs Praise and Ma1edfctioAs
ON the Weed.

One Of the most difficult things in the
world is to get any authoritative conclu-
sions about the effects of using tobacco.
Literature is filled with paeans in its
praise and maledictions in equal meas
ure. says the Philadelphia Ledger. There
is abundant medical opinion on its evil
effects on the heart, on the throat and
lungs, on the nerves, and everybody
knows the chronic smoker whose appe-
tite is ruined. digestion impaired, whose
nerves are torn to shreds, who is a hypO-
chrondriac, a lamentable object and q
cross to his friends. On the other hand,
nearly everybody smokes, and there is
no easier way OF starting mutiny on
land or sea than to cut OF the tobacco
supply Of soldier or sailor. Persons who
are engaged in hard labor, or in ex-
hausting pursuits OF any kind, know
that smoke at. the end OF the day
soothes the nerves, banishes fatigue,
knits up the raveled sleeve of care. II
your dentist be complaisant he will tell
you that smoking preserves the teeth
and kills the germs; your doctor, if he
knows nothing about the subject and
wants to stand high in your estimation,
will tell you to use tobacco, but use IL
in moderation" the doctor who has
studied the subject is sure that the
abuse of tobacco" is a very bad thing.
The London Lancet, a conservative au-
thority, is not sure that the moderate use
of tobacco by persons Of a certain con-
stitution and temperament Is injurious;
and then we have the sage advice that
you are to give up the use of tobacco IL
you can do so with less wear and tear
on your happiness and welfare than the
continuance of the habit would cost you
And so we come right back to fundamen-
tails: Do not smoke if the results are
harmful.
But some things we do know about
tobacco: 1t costs prodigious deal OF
money, is one of the most important in
1ustries In the world and an important
source of revenue to all nations. Amer
leans consume 1000 600 900 cigars annu-
ally, and the yearly increase in the con
sumption is nearly 600, 600, 900. Smokers
use 5000, 100000 cigarettes annually
and consume in other forms, as in snuff
plug and smoking tobacco, BE, 000, 00f
pounds, exclusive OF the tobacco export
ed and that used in the manufacture OF
cigars and cigarettes. The federal treas
ury receives S65 900 900 annual revenue
from the tobacco tax; the manufacture
ers alone pay in salaries 0,000, 900 ane
in wages $50 900 600 a year, and the an
nual value of the manufactured produci
in this country is upward of 1926, 900 900

TRAVELLER AND INNKEEPER.
Tale with a Moral Which Is Conf m
atory of a Certain HUI
man Failing.

One day as a traveller was journeyins
along a certain highway, relates the De
troit Free Press, he came upon an I'M
+ on which was conspicuously displayed
the sign:
''Only One Mile to the Next Inn"
"'Tis passing strange, my friend" be
said to the inn keeper after studying tbs
sign for a time. art thou also thu
owner of the next inn?"
Indeed, no. was the reply.
Us the host thy brother, them"
He is not"
Not even a great friend for whom
thou wouldst sacrifice custom?"
mot even that"
'1 will cen take dinner under thy roo
and think it over" unused the travele'
as he dismounted from his beast and en-
tered the place.
An hour later, when his dinner hal
his journey. he said:
'I think 1 have solved the mystery
Your dinner was contemplate and youj
charges extortionate. but it may be ever
worse at the inn mile further on"
You've hit it, old man, and hence my
sign" replied the landlord as he waved
him adieu.
The traveller rode away, but great was
his surprise on reaching the other inr
to find a sign of the same sort hangineSat
the door.
by my troth, but this is curious
thing" he said to the landlord who well
coined him. rs it that the other inn
keeper lied to me?"
"Oh, not at ALL" was the ready reply
Had you come from the other direction
and reached my inn first 1 should have
told you about him just what he has had
to say about me. The fact is that both
our inns are so bad that he who halts at
one wishes that he had passed On to the
other
Moral: When there is nothing to gain
we are cheerfully willing to divide with
the other fellow.

For space little was said, the two

Yes, but''-with a swift shift OF

out onto the bank scarf stiff, and be-

At this the younger brother
laughed foolishly.

interrupting him.

the young man. what do you take

sea-. Battom Ealing.

Scientists tell us that, counting from
the sea level, the lowest body Of water
on the globe is the Caspian sea For
centuries it's surface has been gradually
settling down until now it is So feet
lower than that of its near neighbor. the
Black sea- which also lies far below the
level of the oceans. The common con-
clusion all along has been that the Cas-
pian was simply losing its waters by
evaporation, but recent investigation
shows that this is not the case Sound
ings made and compared with records
of soundings made over 100 years age
reveal the astounding fact that there is
even a greater depth of water now than
then. This leaves but one hypothesis
that would seem at all tenable-that the
bottom of the sea is actually sinking.

Co mpIsted His Testimony.

Too tenacious memory sometimes
leads TO embarrassing situations. In
the London Tit Bits is related the
story of a right-of-way case which
concerned an ancient foot-path over
an English estate. The place had
passed from an old and respectable
family into the hands of a rich no
body.
The lawyer who appeared on behalf
of the landowner cross-eXamined a
venerable countryman, who had tes-
titled to his own personal knowledge
that there had been right-of-way
over the land ever since he was boy
of five.
Sand how old are you now" asked
the lawyer.
"Eighty-five, sir"
''But surely you can't remember
things which occurred when you were
a boy Of five, eighty years ago?"
"'Deed an can, sir" asserted the
octogenarian witness. 81 can mind a
year afore that, when your feyther,
sir, 'owd Skinfint Cargo US called

An Original Defense.

Two aborigines of Formosa, who
were arrested in the Hosan province,
were recently sentenced to death for
having murdered policeman. Their
defense was original. They said they
meant no harm; they killed the po'
liceman merely for joke.
Under cross-eXamination, they said
it was only after the japanese had
come to the island that they had
heard that the murder of a man was
considered a bad deed.
In reply to a question as to whether
they felt happy in killing the police
man, the prisoners replied yes, they
felt very happy.
This is the first occasion on which
one of the aborigines has been SEN
fenced to capital punishment since
the japanese took over Formosa-
A remarkable feature of this case
that will occur to everyone, is how
closely the Holligan of London ap-
proaches in his sense of humor the
aborigines of FormOsa.

up. A naked form was leaping Wild
~ about upon the river bank, with
one terrified shrek after another. To
Rossiter's ears the shouts now re-
solved themselves into
Help! belp!"
The awakened man was on his feet
in an instant. In such an emergency
as lis his habitual indecision did
not show itself. Off went his cap,
coat and shoes, and away he sprang
over the sward towards the dis
traught figure. He was naturally
fleet of foot and his muscles were
hard from hundreds of leagues of
tramping.
The youth, for such Rossiter saw
the shouter to be, grew more frantic
as he realized that aid was approach

and then in the direction from which
assistance was coming.

NIGHT AND MORNING.

You turned the glory of your eyes
And woke a world of light!
I saw the regal morn arise
On dim, far heights of Paradise,
And take from flaming seas and skies
Their sacramento rite.
You turned the glory of your eyes
And left-a world of night;
For now, though other mornings rise,
Dusk-haunted are my daily skies,
And lonely is the path that lies
Before my lonely sight.
But when nights legions hold the skies
In rapt, attentive light,
Then, in the land of dreams grown wise,
see through your remembered eyes
Gods morning sweet and stainless rise
On life's forgotten night.
