THF HILL OF TARA.

England has a National Trust for
Places Of Historic Interest or National
Beauty. which reports saving some
spots of interest to Englishmen, and
one, at least, of more than insular inter-
est. Danger threatened the Hill of Tara,
the most interesting spot in Ireland
perhaps in the United Kingdom. The
associations Of the hill date at least
srom the third century of our era; it
was at once the palace and the tomb of
the Irish kings; there on the Kings
Rath they were crowned, on the Lai Fall
or Stone of Destiny. On Easter eve, 43S,
st. Patrick there effected the conversion
of the King OF Ireland to Christianity.
Unscientiac and rather foolish persons
have done much injury to the hill by
digging after the Ark of the Covenant
which they have failed to find. This
process at least has been arrested, and
the National Trust will have general
sympathy in its endeavor to make the
hill-at present under divided ownership
"a national possession

1t appears that there is considerable
room for growth in Cuba. While the
total area of the island is about 2S,0OO,-
900 acres, the acreage of the magnifi-
cent canefields is less than 100000 acres,
and the extensive crops of unrivaled to-
bacco are grown on the insignificant to-
tai of not more than 100000 acres.
Cuba's manufacturing and mineral pos
sibilities have also only just begun to be
developed. Her foreign commerce is in
creasing. Her most important export,
sugar, which amounted to over 1000
tons in 1894 and will amount to over
100000 tons in the present year, was
only about 100000 tons in 1898; and like
wise the Cuban export of tobacco to
the United States, which will equal $1S,-
100000 in value in 1903, amounted to only
about $4,00O000 in 1897 and 1898. So also
Cuban imports from the United States,
which have amounted to $2o,O0O,OO0 or
$G5,000,000 annually since the, war, were
only about s7OOO,0OO in 1896 and 1897.
Cuba will always be comparatively
little, but she can be and seems des-
tined to be much greater than she now
is in many respects.

a VIEW USE FOR THE A UTOMoBILE

The automobile was early and lively
in France, and it is rather appropriate
that a new use for it has just been
found there. A young man who was in
love met the stern opposition of the
young woman's parents. H. pretended
to give up hope and to be reconciled to
the idea of being merely friend of the
family, and he took out the girl and
her father for an automobile drive to
Havre. At a dangerous part of the
road he suddealy put on the fourth
speed, and the car sprang away at a
terrific rate. The girl sat still and
showed no fear, but her terrified father
shouted to the man who wanted to be
his son-in-law to stop Consent to my
marriage with your daughter" was all
the notorist replied. Still the car tore
along, and If any obstacle had appeared
in the road at least three fatalities
would have occurred. "Stop! We shall
all be killed." the girls father contin-
ued to cry. Most certainly we shall, "
said the determined young man, grim
| ly. IF. you don't consent at once I am
going to send the machine into the
ditch, and at this rate that means quick
death" AS he spoke he impaired vio-
Ilent lurches from side to side to the
car. IT consent, CONSENT" gasped the
now vanquished parent. Immediately
the car slowed down, and the rest of
the Journey was done at a steady tour
ling pace. But during the motors pre-
vious mad career a policeman had jot-
ted down it's number. When the girls
father, to whom the machine belongs,
appeared in court in answer to the
summons his future son-in-law accom-
panied him and looked exceedingly
pleased with himself When fine of
sixteen francs was imposed the young
er man said he would pay it himself
| with pleasure.

T. p. Morgan may possibly be as
great a man as he ever was, but just
NOW he isn't considered quite as great
as he at one time seemed to be. Not
long ago it looked as if he might own
the world. Now it looks as if he might
be lucky to be allowed to continue to
live in this part Of 1t. Three years ago
he was at the height of power and glory.
Hardly any limit could be given to the
confidence which the great capitalists
reposed in him. No undertaking, new
or old, with which he was known to be
identified was under the necessity of
going without needed capital. The great
and little financiers, the managers of
banks and trust institutions, were eager
to associate themselves with him in any
plan Of corporate promotion in which
he took part 1t was not then necessary
that the details of a projected scheme
should be explained: all that the great
Enancier had to do was to indicate to
this, that or the other person that they
should make themselves responsible as
subscribers or underwriters for half a
million or a million dollars in some en-
terprise which he was organizing.
Perhaps no man ever lived who was
| able to do what Mr.. Morgan did, but the
| Boston Herald finds resemblance be-
tween him and John Law, the originator
of the Mississippi scheme. Law had
during his year or two of success, more
than regal power. The proudest aris-
