WAR AND BUSINESS.
An esteemed contemporary in speak
luting of tile effect of th?. war on til*
business Interests of the ..an,try says:
"When it is borne in mind thai all
the men likely to be engaged in the
'%<.,Avar with Spain will not amount to i
per cent, of the active w-?thing mate
population of the country and that ol:
the money that will be .-spend, d is
less than Uhe capitalization of each of
, several railroad companies in ib.- I'ni
ted States, the Importance of the v.nr.
considered with r.-spect to this effect
';. ' on trade and industry, is insignificant.
There is no good reason why business
should not go on with..in sere.us in
terruption, and the reports of the trade
v ; reviews show that this Is the view ta?
ken generally by merchants." Vt
Undoubtedly this is a correct view
of the matter. The Americans have
Si*, clearly shown themselves musters oi
the situation even when the superioi
forces of the enemy should have turn
:";._". ed the tide against them. The weak
neaa and lack of preparation display,
by the Spaniards is abundant evidence
, . of the fact that the war will be of
?- comparatively short duration. The
?''v;;i:rade of the United States with Spain
and Cuba is of such Insignificant pro
... "portions that there should be a very
small failing off in the business of th'
' country ona ccount of the war. As a
matter of fact, the increased activity
in the industrial world should malt.

for the next few months than it has
been for years.

I Associated Press dispatches say thai
?-the captured Spanish sailors at Key
.West are living well and enjoying
-themselves much better than tin y evi?
dently hoped to under the cireum
stances. When first captured many
of them fell upon their knees befon
';tbelr captors and and begged th:.'

tit appears that the Spanish .fficers
have been treating their men to some
voholce fairy stories in which the
...American "bogey man" has probahls
splayed an important part. It may be
: hard for the Spaniards to realize thai
Civilization and not barbarism rules in

upon the Sunday first after thu fourteenth

tells "Tho .Story of thu Wheel." After de
[ scribing the draisino, which came into

Further changus made, by Louis Goinportz,'
in 1821, enabled tho ridur to propel this

keep himself upright by tho uso of his feet

sidu of tho front hub and u gearing moved
by a luvcr woro the moans of driving the
wheel, und the lever also did sorvlce as a
steering bar.
So popular did tho dniisine booonie that
forms of it continued in use until 1855,
but the lutor form was built of iron In?
stead of wood. This obango was brought
about by an English contractor named
Knight, who was so pleased by tho now

A YOUNG WOMAN'S RUSE.
Led to an Innocent Display of Her Fa?
ther's Artillery.
Colonel I. N. Walker is the authority for
a story which, as he says, is a very proper
one for the parlor and one which contains
several suggestions of value to young la?
dies who may occasionally find themselves
In a position requiring the use of diplo?
macy and tact. This story avers that in
a curtain place not very far away and at a
time not very long ago there was a young
man who oamo from a distant city on n
visit to one of his friends, another young
man who stood high in the osteem of tho
community. The visiting youth was seri?
ously afflicted with the ambition of meet?
ing some nloo young lady of culture and
refinement who might be matrimonially
inclined, and when his accommodating
friend told him of a very handsome maid
on of his acquaintance his soul fired with
ardor and he resolved to pursue his suit,
with energy. This laudable purpose was
strengthened perceptibly by an Incidental
recital on tho part of his friend of tho old
gentleman's worldly possessions, and tho
young man was on tenter hooks until ho
obtained an introduction. Tho introduc?
tion obtained, ho lust no time, but called
tho nuxt evening. Tho events of that
memorable evening abide with him to thu
present day.
It seems tho pair were alono In tho par?
lor for something liko half an hour whon
the ardent youth throw discretion to tho
wind and essayed a feat of osculation that
was indignantly resented. Whether ho
received a blow of the band upon his fea?
tures is a mere matter of speculation, but
It was quite evident that there was soino
stamping of a dainty foot and a darting of
Are from Indignant oyes, for the young
man was given thoroughly to understand
that If ho did It again the paternal parent
would be informed. But the thrust fell on
heedless ears, for no sooner wua it made
than the bold suitor once more attempted
fci3 trick. Then war ensued Instanter,

tft? yo^ng .trail was "J?Vjo Cogitate., but
only for a hrief spnco.
In tho noxt room was tho paternal par?
ent, a man who loved sporting above al?
most everything else, and when hisdnugh
ter entered ho was examining a double
barreled shotgun in a fond and doting
manner. Said his daughter to him: "Pa,
tboro is a young man in the parlor who,
like yourself, is much interested in hunt?
ing. I wish you would meet him. You
might tuko your now gun in with you, for
I know ho would greutly admiro tho pat?
tern."
Nothing could suit tho old gentleman
bettor thnn this; so ho marched into the
parlor, expecting to recolvo the enthusias?
tic praises of n truo sport. But in this ex?
pectation ho was doomed to sad disappoint?
ment, Tho young man saw him coining
and saw tho gun also. Exit by tho door
was impossible, and tho window offered
tho only hope for escape; so out he jumped
with all his might and down the sir. i I,
wont flying as fast as his aroused fears for
lifo could make him. Tho old gentleman
gazed on this strange scene with bewilder?
ment, but his daughter had obtained a
point of vantage where sho gloried reck?
