or whether he tunneled hlindly, with the hope of finding one occasionally.
 Further on I came to 8 stretch of half-open country, covered with bar- berry and other bushes. And here found the paths which the rabbits had made the night before, and all alcne these paths the twigs of the bushes under which they ran had been cut off clean, as though with a peuknife, by theNsharp front teeth of the rabbits. And thus the snow, which had dona the animals an injury in one way, by covering up their food upon the ground, served them well in another way, by lifting them to a height at which they could crop the tender twigs nearer the tops of the bushes.
 But the most delightful incident of e$ay walk occurred when was nearing home.

When the Flag Came Down.

We know of course, that where the flag goes up it never, never comes down, and it brings the E&rsh of shame to the cheek of every American to hear such thing even hinted at; but. all the same. the starry banner came down in Cuba yesterday as our last military detachment withdrew. It came down. too, while words of grateful appreciation were spoken by the president of the Cuban republic Hedtd not once reproach us for having lost splendid business chance. or for having been recreant in the great i'm. perialist duty of land-grabbing and pledge breaking. Indeed. even our own jingoes are swelling with conrplacency over the honorable and libertv-loving way in which we have conducted our selves fin Cuba. Hauling down the flag hath it's victories no less renowned than those of running it up. The ex- perience is valuable. We may be led to seek like glory elsewhere. The ac- clamations we ara receiving from the people of Cuba would bs redoubled from the Filipinos, if we were to leave them also to work out their own destinies as freemen--New York Evening Post.

OF TYPHOID.
Bssten Leash to Adopt the Hot Water Theory.

No Boston hospital has yet sufficient confidence in the hot water treatment for the cure Of typhoid fever to intro duce it here. The practice for years has been directly opposite, in the all most exclusive s!se of ice or cold wa ter. Medical men. like those in b11si- ness, are tenacious to old ways, and any new method must be thoroughly approved outside before it is accepted. It is not understood, here, just what the hot water treatment has to ret commend it to physicians and hospi- tals. In typhoid fever the te:tpcra- ture is very high. and the first idea is to reduce the esmperature. Cold water is administered to this end, and as this does decrease the heat of the body 1t is only natural to suppose that hot water would increase it. At the most critical stage of the disease, the change of a fraction of degree in temperature might often be fatal.
 The only place where the hot water treatment has been used with sue cessful results, so far as is known, IS in Baltimore. There one particular case is cited where child five years old was placed on water pillows and her body submerged in water which was kept at temperature of 1ol de- grees. Tn a five days treatment the child's temperature had fallen from 1O3 to 100 degrees. and in three weeks the patient was pronounced cured. Before the application of hot water. cold water had been tried without any perceptible improvement in the pa- tient's condition. Boston's physicians

We'll in the Tower of London.

For ages antiquary after antiquarS found himself baff1ed by simple prob lem at the tower. How, i'll the old days. did the garrison get a supply of drinking water? The antiquary could show you the original fireplace at which William the Conqueror warmed his hands, could point approximately to the spot on which the murdered princes fell: he could lead you to the places where Henry WITS queens were butchered. But how these un- fortunates and their Janitors drank, none could tell. Organized search was vain. then there came a thick headed. unimaginatiEe mason, to whom and his fellows the work of conY erttng certain Of the historic dunI geons into storehouses for war ma terial meant ninepence-half penny an hour and no more.
 His pick struck through the floor ing Of the corridor from which the prisoners used to enter their cells. Behind these latter and corresponding with the main one, ran, and still re- mains. the little secret. corridor, along which eavesdropping officers tiptoed to listen to the conversation between captives, for the purpose of evidence.
 A few blows from the pick brought to light the mouth Of q pit. Sixty feet down was water-thitty feet of it. The mason had happened upon the historic well for which search had been made for centuries. ..

The Top Price for a Cow.

General Russell X. Alger. former secretary of war and now. junior United StAtes senator from Michigan, is said to have paid the record price for a coyy--and that a dead one. Etftv-odd years ago he was an orpnan in R6chfeld. Ohio. without cent and with but one suit of clothes. He want ea to attend school and went to 8 doctor who lived in & neigbhortng y1l- lake to ask for a chance to work Tor his board. The doctor did not need the services of boy, but was so much impressed by young Aiser earnestness that he took him into HIS family and sent him to school. He did no work except to care for the doc tore horse and COW. The years sped on ma Russell A. A1gef became Illi- lionaire. while his banefactor was re- duced to straitened circumstances. One by one the doctors children oIea, and he and his aged w1fe were le.e alone. But the old man Kept his pride, ana when General Alger assasl- ed him he was forced to do so HI roundabout ways. A dozen years ago the general paid tiie uoctor Vhs- it, determining to aid hiu1.

 "Bosh! You owe that to yourself.
 But I caused you trouble and ex- pense. for which I want to repay you"
 .vrhe trouble need not trouble you, ana there wasn't any expense worth talking about In fact. the only eN- psnge that you caused me, so far as ] can remember, was the loss of q COW. Do you know, Alger. that when you came to live with me. had the best cow in these parts. and that your awkwardness completely spoiled her! Within three weeks you had made her uo skittish that no one could go near her, and had to sell her for beef
 .srhen owe you for that COW. 1 am going to pay you for her and to add a rittIe interest for the use of the money for about forty years.'
 After long argument the old man re- luctantly consented to receive pay for his COW, and the check that General Alrer drew to his order kept him in comfort for the remainder of his life.

 The railway employees Of the United States are . splsndidly efficient body of men, personally, writes Slason Thompson. Their intrepidity and re- sourcefuiness are proverbial. But their very self-reliance makes them reckless in taking risks against which regulations are provided. They share with the entire American people a restiveness under restraint which makes them impatient of rules made for their protection as well as that of the public. That they themselves pay the heaviest penalty for their own te- mex4ty in the matter of passing sig nals and disregarding regulations, is demonstrated by the fact that out of S95 employees killed aud GAO injured in train accidents last year, TAI were killed and o,437 injured were trainmen Or considerably over 50 per cent. In all kinds of railway accidents far more than 50 per cent of the casual ties. fall on trainmen

 The best physical means to prevent collisions is to increase the double track mileage. Next to this may come the block signal system, which would rename the space or section system.
 But no physical or mechanical con- trivance can protect such system of transportation as the American peo- pie demand. from the direful effects of human negligence and incompetence. Discipline carried to the point where obedience to signals is Involuntary must eventually become the reliance of the American railway system. This discipline can only be practically effective when the authorities respon- sible to the public are untrammeled Tn it's enforcement by any secondary responsibility.
 When it becomes as unheard of for an official to pass over a breach of discipline as for an engineer to pass 3 danger signal. the rational safety of American traffic will be assured.
