Cuban Recinrncitv.

President Roosevelt has determined
to call congress in extraordinary ses-
sion, November 9th for the express
purpose of ratifying the Cuban reel
procity treaty. When the last con
gress adjourned without ratifying this
treaty, although the president had
used all the great power of his Office
to force it through, he. in one Of his
speeches, declared that the treaty
would be ratified, as sure as fac"
The fated day will soon be here and
the forces of the rival factions of
he Republican party are buckling on
their armor for the fight. The ground
work of the squabble is sugar and
the sugar trust. Whatever reduction
the treaty finally contains on the
tariff on raw sugar is an increased
profit 10 the sugar trust except any
slight advance the Cuban sugar grow
ar may obtain over the price now paid
by the trusts The trust wants to
have Cuban sugar on the free list,
but is willing TO take any discount
that it can get congress to allow.
The present duty on raw sugar
amounts to $50 per ton, and as the
Cuban crop is about 100000 tons,
which would give the trust the enOr-
nous bonus OF $50, 100000 annually.
If the Cuban treaty should only al
low discount Of % per cent. from
the present duty on raw sugar the
saving to the sugar trust would APP
proximate. or perhaps exceed, $1,000
900.
1t is rather startling to have Presi-
dent Roosevelt so ANXIOUS 10 see this
bonus given to the sugar trust, and
yet pose as the grat trust fighter
But it must be remembered that no
trust has been prevented from its ex-
tortion by the Republican plan Of
fighting them and that words are
good only when backed by deeds"
The faction of the Republicans that
IS fighting Cuban reciprocity IS the
ultra rOtectionisfs. who declare that
no letter or word Of the sacred tariff
must be changed and they are backed
by the money Of the trusts and the
protected monopolies. The Protective

manufacturers. who are benefited by
the tariff. is the center around which

portly Governor thought it would be
a good plan to feign that he was deaf

This proceeding naturally caused the

STRANGE DWARFS OF SPAIN
UncfviIized Nomads of the Mountains
Who Have Descended from
Phoenician Slaves.

One of the strapgest races of dwarfs
in the world dwells among the noun
tains of Asturias, inthe north of Spain.
They are a standing puzzle to scien-
lists, says a London paper.
A Spanish physician, DR.. Rubio,
claims to have discovered that they
are descended from slaves brought to
Spain by the Phoenicians 1000 years
before the birth of Christ, to work the
mines from which the vast wealth of
Tyre and Sidon was drawn.
The Phoenicians had to abandon the
mines, but they left their dwarf Stoves
behind. To this day they remain
there, still wandering about the noun
tains where they were planted by their
masters 1000 years ago.
They are called Vaqueros. The wom-
en- are rarely taller than four feet
and the men four feet six. They are
utterly unlike the tall, athletic race of
Spaniards among whom they dwell.
The Vaqueros are uncivilized no.
MAIDS who never settle down in any
permanent abode or till the soil. They
move about from mountain to noun
tain, pasturing their focks and herds
as their ancestors did thousands Of
years ago. The Spaniards despise
them as b~arbarians, and they hate the
Spaniards SO bitterly that they will
not even speak to them. They have
only recently been Christianized.
AS they have never mingled or inter
married with their neighbors, the
racial peculiarities of the Vaqueros are
as strongly marked as they were in
Phoenician days. The race is dying
out, owing to intermarriage between
a few families for many centuries.
Most of the Vaqueros left to-day are
idiots or degenerates.

WORLDS WAX SUPPLY.
1t Is Not Obtained from Bees Alone,
ms Most of Us Have Always
Been Taught.

Bees are by no means the only pro-
ducers of animal wax, although prob
ABLY 90 persons out of 10U would saw
so if asked.
The very biggest animal in the world
is one of the most important wax pro-
ducers. and a fine waxitis. 1t is sperm
acct, and it is obtained from the head
of the sperm whale.
When a sperm whale has been killed
and is brought alongside, the first
thing that the whalemen do after the
chains are passed around the fukes to
hold the big creature alongside of the
whaling ship, is to cut the head from
the body.
This head alone often weighs several
tons. and it is no light job to raise it
from the water. Immense tackles are
used, and as tie whalers, who stand
on the whale and on stagings rugged
over it, cut through the vertebrae with
their keen c~utting-out spades other
men on the deck of the ship heave and
haul on the tackle until the mighty
head is clear of the body.
Often a head like that will be so big
that while part of it is still in the
water the tip of the mouth will be
high in the air, as high as the spars of
the whaleship.
Then the whalers begin to cut into
the head until they open WHAT is known
by them as the Cease" This contains
the spermaceti. 1t is a beautiful, clear.
whitish fluid, and it is dipped out with
buckets and put into special casks. 1t
is stored away in the hold in a separate
place from the whale oil, and it brings
a good price at all times, for the/de
mand for spermaceti is ~unceasing.
The Chinese obtain a great deal of
extremely fine wax from a small in
sect called pela. 1t lives on trees, and
the Chinese cultivate. the pela just as
other races breed the honey bee. The
pela, however, produces nothing ex-
cept wax.
This insect produces small masses
of pure white a and it is used by
the Chinese and japanese for making
candles to be burned in Buddhist tenn
piles. The wax is used also for me-
dicinal purposes.
Another wax insect lives in certain
districts of India. 1t is not propagated
as the Chinese~pela is, but it produces
a very valuable wax, which will be
made an article of considerable COM
mercial Importance some day.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

will say when you offer to do it, but
let Us show you how easy it is and then
you can show them.
Having laid down the first match,
place the IA astride of it, with the
PHOSPHORUS ends in the air and the
other end resting on the table. These
ends should point alternately right
and left and the matches must be
close to each other, side by side.
Now if you lift the first match the
others will fall off, of course, and
scatter on the table; therefore you
will not try it. But lay an extra match
along the top of the IA, where they
cross the first one, and you can pro-
coed confidently with your experiment.
For when you lift the first match the
IA will be held in place by the one you
have placed on top of them, and thus
the system will be made frm.-Brook-

A Good story.

Frederika, Ia, July l3th.-Mr. A. S.
Grover, of this place. tells an interesting
story showing how sick people may regain
their health if they will only be guided by
the experience of others. He says:
Il had a very bad case of Kidney Trouble,
which affected my urinary organs so that /
had to get up every hour of the night.
could not retain my urine and my feet and
limbs begin to bloat up. My weight was
quickly running down.
After | had tried many things in vain,
| began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, 4 med
icine which had cured some other very bad
cases.
This remedy has done wonders for me.
| have gained eight pounds in two months.
The bloat has all gone from my feet and
legs, and L don't have to get up at night.
l took in all about ten boxes before l was
all sound"
Those who suffer as did Mr.. Grover can
make no mistake in taking Dodd's Kidney
Pills, for they are a sure, safe and perma-
nent cure for all Kidney and urinary dis

so prevalent, at.they accept it as al
most inevitable. The greatest obstacle
in the way of recovery is that they do
not understand that it is catarrh which
is the source of their illness. In female
complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one
hundred are nothing but catarrh. Pc

for years on sick beds with some form

This is a Texas story. There was gath.

crowd for the county court, which included

clerk, a number of lawyers, and, on this
particular occasion, a young army officer.
Well, they celebrated to rather a late hour
on the first night, and when bedtime came
it was found that most of them had to
sleep in the one large room called in the
west the "school section" because every
thing in the school section lands in the
early days belonged to everybody. About
daylight the next morning the district at
