Cuba and Automobiles.

The Belgian commission in Cuba
saws that cuba is an excellent mar
ket for automobiles, owing to their
constantly increasing use. The most
popular type is the Voiturette, light
strong and moderate in price. If en-
terprise can do anything, the Ameri-
can automobile will certainly be
pushed in this field. and if energy
means anything, it should mean the
health which comes from the regular
use of golden grain belt beer. This
beer is brewed from the choicest bar
ley malt and hops and makes an ex-
cellent tonic for home use. Its deli
cate taste will also commend it tic
those who love good things.

YALUARLI, THOUGH cOSTLr.


 Great Britain finally licked the stub born Boers. and it was a costly and dis couraging performance. but she hasn't laid it up against them. When the war ended the British government en- gagged in grant of s15.0OO.OOO to aid the Boers in restocking their farms. This sum was thus spent and $1O,0OO,0OO more was given to aid the Boers who had fought on the British side in the last years of the war. Besides these sums, some s172,OOO,OoO has been spent from loans guaranteed by the British for the return of the Boers to their farms and the settlement of the country. Alto gether s6O,OOO.ooO has been given and $1S7, 100000 loaned for Boer purposes, this being in addition to the cost of the war. @
 Probably the war and the peace are worth to Great Britain all they have cost. She has way of getting good returns from such investments. She also has a way of making those who give the returns fairly well satisfied with their side of the transaction. Our cousins know a thing or two.

HE. LEwIs, PLAN.

Last evening MT. George W. Lewis presented before the Chamber of Com merce his plan for improving New Ha- ven's fnanciering. This plan provides for the payment of taxes on January \; the gradual payment of the floating in- debtedness by appropriation; making an annual adjustment of discrepancies between actual expenditures and the es- timated income. MT. Lewis points out that this plan will place the city's fi- nances on a, more business-like basis, and will result in a substantial reduc- ton in the interest account. The city borrows money under the present sys- tenn for interest on the bonded indebt- edness, for interest on money borrowed in anticipation of taxes, and for inter- est on account of the floating indebted ness. The interest payments of the city amount to about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year about a million and half in ten years, Under MT. Lewis plan no money would have to be paid for interest on money bor- rowed in anticipation. of taxes, or for money borrowed on account of the floating indebtedness. This would be q large saving, and We should like to have anybody show any reason why it should not be made? MT. Lewis cor. rectly points out that our present sys- tenn of borrowing is a kind of endless chain affair We begin to borrow in January in anticipation of taxes, and continue to borrow until July, when we begin to gradually pay off the notes. This is continued until about October, when the final note is usually paid. Then We soon begin to borrow again.
 MT. Lewis carefully shows how his plan can be carried out. As we have said before, we believe it should be car- ried out. Its advantages are so great and obvious that it is a wonder that they have not been seen and adopted before this time

Russia is busy with Japan, but she is not too busy to notice what England is doing. The Russ of St. Petersburg raises cry of alarm over "the, success sive eneroachments of Great Britain in southeast Persia It argues that if once that region falls definitely into British hands Russia can have no di- rect access to the Indian Ocean, while the Persian Gulf will be British pos session and of no use to Russia in any way. Our whole movement to the south in the Middle East" it continues, will have come to naught, We shsA have

to content ourselves with the sands of Turkestan and give up our most ardent aspirations and tendencies. We may be told that this is an inopportune mo- ment for mentioning the matter, inas- much as before the war with Japan is over We cannot even think of an active policy in the nearer East. Such view. however, may result in our finding our selves. after being victorious in the Far East, beaten in the political field ir the near and middle East. As our interests in these two regions are far more important than any we have on the coasts of the Pacific we shall thus lose more than we shall have gained by bringing the war to victorious conclu- sion.' It then goes on to argue that Russia must defend her interests in the near and middle East with greater wig or than ever, inasmuch as they are now more menaeed. The British expedition to southeast Persia is a danger which must be enumerated. The Russ knows too well, it says, what is apt to come of British commercial expeditions.
 There is perhaps more truth than po- etry in this complaint. just as there was more truth than poetry in the com plaint about Russia's performance in Manchuria.

A MODERN W0ND ER.

You can read almost anything nowa- days. For instance, the London Mail tells story of five boys, all of whom were sound sleepers and inclined to be lazy They arose at morn when they were forced to get up, and sometimes it was necessary to apply cold water to drive them from their comfortable |couches. And vet, says the Mail, lat thirty one was manager of a great shop; at twenty-seven another was a physician with a large practice; at twenty three another was at the head of his class in college; at twenty the fourth had passed every examination in a medical school with honors, and the fifth lad. at fifteen, was head boy in his school
 This shows what can be done, but it doesn't show what usuclly is done. Lazy boys as rule are lazy men, and they don't often attain success. Per- haps some lazy boys will take pleasure in showing this statement from the London Mall to their worried fathers and mothers. If they do their fathers and mothers should show them the family stick, ruler, strap, slipper, or whatever the instrument of justice is. Laziness is not the road to power and glory, It is the road to failure and perdition. The London lazy boys stop ped being lazy in time to save them selves. Lazy boys who read about them should make. the turning from laziness, net the laziness, the prominent feature of the case. >

The Florentine painter V. Corcas was immensely pleased with the treatment accorded him during his sojourn in Der lin, whither the Kaiser had summoned him to paint his portrait. A house, with servants and carriage, was placed at his disposal; the Emperor conversed with him in the most familiar manner, and joked about his hair, which is pre- matureIy gray, though he is ten months younger than the Emperor. The Italian painter was. of course, surprised at the comprehensive knowledge betrayed by the Kaiser and the Kaiserin, too, of art matters.
