Nothing could be more charming
than the revival Of the crisp little

mode of neck dressing, and looks
particularly well with the spring

Cuban government and the insurg-

ment in the matter of securing peace
before the arrival in Havana of Sec
retaries Taft and Bacon.
TIE only results thus far Of Pres

sion of hostilities have been that lib
eral leaders, VINO hitherto have had
every reason to expect arrest, are clr-
culating openly in Havana again, and
even comforting with members OF the
government with regard to peace and
that such insurgents in the field as
have been consulted, while they ex-
press themselves as agreeable to set
Ting matters amicably, at the same
time assume an independent attitude,
which cannot be said to bode par
ticularly well for a prompt settlement
of existing difficulties.

the simplicity of the tops, and some
are elaborate and costly. Several

maple, with cut glass ends of various
shapes, some of which resemble de-
canter shoppers. The head OF a froS

Gre Attest Book Writers

Washington Correspondent Brooklyn Ea-
gle
According. to Ainsworth r. spofford. the
aged and scholarly assistant librarian of
Congress, the people of Germany are the
greatest writer's of books in the world.
He brought out this fact today in a little
discussion of books and authors in
which he said that the taste for history
at the present time amounts almost to a
passion.
Are history writer's improving in ac-
curacy?"
Accuracy" replied Mr. spofford laconi-
cally, "is still the rarest of human
virtues"
What is the tendency of writer's now
adays as to topics?"
at runs to fiction as the sparks fly
upward. In England alone last year 1000
books of fiction were brought out. AL
most as many were brought out in this
country. But many of them are books
on the Sciences call them the dismal
sciences. Authorship in Germany is much
more widely dffused than in any other
country, and printing costs less in Ger
many than elsewhere. France prints
about as many books every year as Eng
land-books on science, literature and po-
litical economy Italy, too, is a country
where many books are written and
printed.
1.-TWO hundred years ago. continued Mr..
Spofford, "nine-tenths of the books pub
lshed were on the subject of religion.
That was at the time of the Puritans.
Today less than one-tenth of the books
are on that subject That is the field that
is least progressive. In all others there
is less tendency to accept what has been
written or said, and there is a very
gratifying number of books produced
nowadays that are not merely copied from
other works and that seek well authent-
Gated facts as a basis. The books that
have not this quality are tolerated less
than they formerly were. Considerable
has been written for and against the
higher criticism and now and then an
iconoclast adds his contribution, but most
of them are expression of the orthodox
kind

cruelty man" please find a nice home
for her?
Inspector Deterle promised to look
around for a place, and then Betty,
from her perch on top of a big door
leading to the office began to chatter.
AS soon as the girl had departed she
swung herself down from her high seat
and walked toward the kitten, who sat
washing her face with her paws in
front of the desk.
The monkey circled around her sew
eraltimes. and the cat made playful
tap at Betty's stumpy tail Betty made
a few remarks which Deterle didn't at
tempt to interpret and then tenderly
took the kitten in her arms.
She climbed back to the top of the
ging the cat to her bosom with the
tenderness of a mother. When It came
bedtime several officers were obliged
to do circus stunts to get the adopted
baby away, and Betty didn't take kind
ly to the separation.
She was allowed to have the kitten
again in the morning. She promptly
carried the furry ball to a pan of milk
and held her head down while the cat
Tapped her fill. Then she cuddled the
kitten in her hairy arms and both went
to sleep.
Since the day Betty adopted her
baby she hasn't let the kitten get fur
ther than the length of her chain ex-
cept when the officers have foreibly re-
moved her. The kitten has apparently
taken a shine to her foster mother and
seems to be happiest when smuggling
in her embrace.
