The Nicaraguan newspapers have

force which might any day have been

praise from these Sir Huberts is
praise indeed. With three parties
struggling for supremacy. with the
one in power being distinctly hostile
to everything American. the situation
from any point of view was an ex-
tremely delicate one and required in
finite tact to handle. The admiral is
possessed OF that tact in a high de-
gree and brought It into play. Not
only did he prevent any conflict be-

and those OF the contending parties,
but in so doing fully maintained the
dignity of the flag and met every sit

requirements of international law and

NEIGHBORS.

Neighbors are a nuisance, and
neighbors are a blessing. Neighbors
are at the same time an annoyance
and a comfort. And neighbors
come in varieties as infinite as hui
man nature itself, which makes back

various rules Of conduct in order to
cover the subject, and then confess
itself inadequate to deal with special
cases.
Neighbors in general are to be
considered as desirable If any wom-
an doubts it, let her live for a time
where there are no neighbors at all,
and she will be convinced that even
if she does not know her neighbors
and does not care to know them,
even if they are rather undesirable
personally, there is something in
having human beings within reach
ing distance. Therefore be thank
full for neighbors-that is a good
sentiment to begin with.-Sunday

PASSING INTO TIE SHADOW
Fear Of the Inevitable End Little
Noticeable, According to Close
Observer.

Curiously enough, too, as age
comes apace and the inevitable
draws nearer, fear is not discernible
in the conduct or attitude of the
average man, if one may judge of
his interest in what goes on about
him, his cheerfulness and his serene
outlook on the world-a cheerful
ness and serenity that are not all Of
religious origin. II is wise Provi-
dence that hides the hour Of the
coming of the dark angel from the
knowledge of human creatures, thus
leaving always the thought that it
is not today, but at some uncertain
and therefore not to be dreaded time
in the future. Even with invalids
who know their days are numbered a
kindly power mercifully softens
their natural dread and enables
them to go down in seemly dignity
and self-control into the valley of
the shadow. 1t is the belief, too, of
physicians and others who have wit
messed many deaths that in a vast
majority of cases the passing mortal
meets this natural process as he
meets sleep, with his mental fac
ulties so dulled-or are they cleared ?
that all fear of dread is lost and
the end of life is like the end of
peaceful day.

EARLY HISTORY OF RUBBER.

Rubber is first known to history
as a plaything. 1t was during Co
lumbus' second voyage that Herrera
observed that the inhabitants of
Haiti played a game with balls
"made of the gum of a tree" Even
as early as the beginning of the
seventeenth century, however, the
Spaniards used rubber to waterproof
their cloaks, but the fact attracted
no attention in the old world, and it
was not until the eighteenth century
that the rubber industry began.
Early writers mention an oil extract
ed from rubber which was taken
incidentally with cocoa.

LAST OF THE VEsPUccIs.

There has just died at Florence
the Countess Tahon. She was the
last of the Vespucci family. Amerigo
Vespucci, it is well known, gave his
Christian name to the continent of
America, and she traced her descent
from the celebrated navigator. Half
a century ago the countess was a
parsonage of note. She played her
part in the Garibaldian movement,
and she was an intimate friend of
Mazzini. She was an object of sus-
picion to the Grand Duke Ferdinand
when she took up her residence in
Tuscany, and was under police sur
Vigilance. Her husband was a col
onel in the French army, and saw
service in the Crimea, where he was
severely wounded. He died some
years after the Lombardy campaign.
For many years she had lived in
modest retirement.

MEMORY AND INTELLECT.

The possession of great memory
does not necessarily mean a strong
intellect. Mozart, when only thir-
teen years old, played new opera
from one hearing, which had been
composed especially to test his skill.
But in addition to reproducing the
opera from memory, without miss
ing a note, he introduced in the Sec
ond playing the variations, which
struck his cultured hearers dumb
with amazement. Blind Tom could
probably have reproduced the same
opera. He did play LISTS celebrated
Hungarian opera after hearing it
once without missing a note, but he
could not have created what Mozart
did. He had Mozart's memory, but
not his intellect.
