presidents message was then read.
Message Of Palma.
It began by declaring:
"For the first time in it's history
the Cuban congress is called upon to
meet in AN extraordinary session and
one that no loyal Cuban would have
believed to ever become necessary
IL seems hard to realize that prosper
ity and peace should be changed to
attempted violence and anarchy and
that after having paid vast sums to
the soldiers to settle their claims,
congress should have to preserve the
integrity of the nation. 1t is a sad
commentary on the loyalty of the Lib
erals that they have been endeavor-
ina to poison the minds of our cit-
zens against the government, since
the last election and that they were
not content with false statements but
have resorted to arms to discredit the
Cubans in the eyes of the world"
The president then referred to the
attack at the barracks at Guiana Ba-
Goa. five months ago by Liberals on
the rural guard, declaring that it had
been followed by others which We're
despicable in the extreme. Continu
ing he declared:
ave have not wished to resort to
arms Why should we? This is a re-
public and we could not believe that
our own citizens would try to over
throw it. But now the time has come
for the government to act and it will
in a manner that will surprise those
who have characterized our unwilling
ness to resort to extreme measures
as unpreparedness. Our rural guard,
our artillery and police force have
done good work and if the ruraIs are
increased to 10000 men and the ar
tilierymen TO 1000 the rebellion will
at once be crushed out. With laws al
adequate punishment of traitors, it
will be a comparatively easy task to
restore order"
independents Do Not Vote
So soon as the reading of the mes
sage was completed bills carrying out
the recommendation of President
Palma and also endorsing his acts up
to the present time were passed, the
Independents refraining from voting
although they were recorded by the
clerk in the affirmative.
There were Is members of the SEN
ate present when Senator Dolz rap
ped for order and the report of no
quorum was raised by Senator Recio,
Liberal who attended. His argu-
ment in the House which had previ
ously disposed of the matter, the rul
ing being the same. The same
measures passed by the house were
passed by the senate with but slight
opposition, the only speech made be-
ing one by General Sanguilly, the
leader of the Independents, who
characterized the proposition to in
crease the army as unnecessary and
simply adding extraordinary expense
on the government. He suggested
that concessions made to the insur-
gents declaring that if soft measures
were used it would show that the gov
eminent was actuated by noble inn
pulses and was willing to lay aside
political craftsmanship.

Metals.

Mercury, Of course, is fluid at all or
binary temperatures. OF the metals
which we commonly regard as solid
lead can be made to flow with great
ease. II by hydraulic pressure it is
forced into cylinder with a hole in
the side of it it WILL when the cylinder
is full, flow out Of the hole in solid
barlike stream. The harder metals
as gold and silver, obviously undergo
slight f1uxion movements in the process
of coming, as iron is not perfectly
rigid. In drawing out a bar of it into
wire the change of form compels the
particles of the metal to slide or shear
over each other, just as in the flow OF
liquid. So great are the pressure'
that can be applied by modern me
chanical science that even steel can be
compelled to change its shape without
fracture, and all such changes imply
fuxion ia the metal

REMEDY FOR THE PLEURlSY.
Region Where Old Wives Pin Their
Faith to "BojIed Hammers"

That well-known New England au.
thor and preacher, the late Elijah Kel.
losr, once told the following story,
anent the origin of certain "old
wives" notions:
A country doctor, in the early days
of the last century, was called to at.
tend a man who was suffering from a
severe attack of pleurisy. Wishing to
blister the patient, he seized the only
available thing, the far,ily hammer,
plunged it into kettle OF boiling wa.
ter, and, after getting it hot, raised
several blisters by touching the pa
tient over the seat of the pain.
Ever afterward all the old women
in that section knew that there was
nothing equal to ''boiled hammers"
for pleurisy. and there was hot dis.
pute as to the best kind of hammer to
use, but the old-fashioned claw ham,
mer finally won the day.

The Northern Lights.

All scentless lie the fields of snow,
The valley ,nists hang deep below,
No earthly lamps attaint the air.
And all is lure and white and fair
No stir hn:"ays the wandering breeze,
No whisper from the frozen trees.
They muster still and stark and pale,
A phantom most in silver mail.
And silver studded over all
Is drawn nights velvet purple pail.
And all is raace; the fitf,ll breath
Seems sacl: age in this land Of DEATH
When far athwart the northern pole
The rainbow tinted strea,c ers roll.
The leaguernd wizard Of the north
Has flung his fiery challenge forth.
And. where across the frozen plain
Lies the grin harvest Of the slain.
His icy searchli hts coldly sweep
The approaches to his virgin keep.
So are the 10 titudes too high
In realms ri cold philosophy,
And barren wastes, that cannot give
The bread whereby a man may live.
