AVER, LoTrail, Van. Spain and the Spaniards. It is not true that the Spaniard is nat urally cruel. The ferocities of which he has unquestionably been guilty have come from his unbusinesslike indolence. He lets trouble come from want of pre caution in time, and it finds him unpre pared. Then he falls into the rage of the indolent man who is aroused out of his indolence, and strikes savagely. Con duct of that kind proves his incapacity for government, and is seen at its worst where he has to deal with Creoles, who repeat his own faults in an exaggerated form, and with half-breeds. For that reason, among others, he has lost his colonial empire. It would be a mistake, however, to suppose that Spain is de caying. The population has nearly, if rot quite, doubled in the present century, nnd the country in itself is infinitely bet ter off than it was 100 years ago. The loss of Cuba will be no evil for Spain, but a gain, for it will stop a dreadful drain of life and treasure. When there is no colonial market to think of, the immense resources of the country itself will probably be better worked. The mere mineral wealth of Spain ought to be enough to make it rich. If it has begun to understand the consequences of bad administration, it may well be one of the most prosperous parts of Europe in another generation.—David Hannay in the Pall Mall Magazine. TKc ITain Xratb. The public is getting very sick of Hob son, and the sooner he sails out of sight and returns to duty the better it will be for all concerned. His public kissing ex hibitions on the stage, after his lectures in varions Western states, have disgusted decent men and women, and they have not hesitated to say so. It is not sur prising to hear that naval circles at Washington were annoyed by Hobson's peculiar conduct, nor. in the light of the latest exhibition of his vanity, is it any wonder that the wreckers who were en gaged with him to raise the Maria Teresa place the responsibility for the failure of the enterprise on Hobson, who, they say, insisted on- rushing the Teresa into Amer ican waters before she was seaworthy and against their protests, based upon long experience in wrecking operations. Hobson's bravery on the Merrimac put him on the pinnacle of fame, and it i3 to be regretted that he was unable to keep a level head on his shoulders and wear the honors of a hero with becoming mod-" esty.—Leslie's Weekly.

At a country house, where fruit of all kinds is on the table at every meal, I lately observed that a small ornamental silver box was always included among the table equipage, and yet I never saw it used. Curiosity got the better of man ners eventually, and I asked my hostess, a notable housewife, to what service the little box was devoted. "Oh, that con tains powdered starch!" she laughingly exclaimed. "We don't happen to have had accidents with the fruit since you have been, here but my careless boys and girls generally manage to stain the linen with fruit juice, and then the starch is useful." I then learned that pow dered starch, applied instantly, will take out the stain of almost any frSit juiSe th?Xa£ he^ from linen it must be allowed to remain on for a few hours until the discolora tion passes into tho starch.

Agri cultural colleges are increasing rapidly in the\\ est and South. Girls are HOW ail* nutted in some of them on the same ditions as boys. They hav£ a di'bfaiitory of their own, and study three years, apart of the tiUie being spent in actual farm work on the field. When graduated they are found skilled in every department of housework and needlework, and in every line of dairy work, stock-raising and agri culture. It is not surprising that some wealthy families send their daughters to these colleges. Where coulcfr parents Rive their daughters a better "physical basis" than in such an institution? It may seem to some like robust treatment, but it is safe to say that money spent for physical culture of this order will yield better re turns in the end than expensive athletic training belonging to the category of sports.

Interest in Gunner The splendid practice of the American gunners has galvanized the British into a critical interest in the gunnery of their own navy and the results of the inquiries made are not very reassuring. The per formances of the Mediterranean fleet, suti- crack are far from satisfactory. The results of the heavy and light gun prize firing of 1898, PwWwhTO, shows that with heavy 259 rounds were fired at eight knots that the percentage of hits was 30.

Ruin in Interior Cuba, On by train into interior Cuba—a re gion of abandoned farms, ruined planta tions, and deserted villages. Matanzas province is a desert of ashes Santa Cla ra, a wilderness of weeds the province of Santiago, a jungle. The ruin and the desolation are the terrible autographs of rifle and torch. Royal palms guard the plantation region, useless sentinels ever since the day in which $60,000,000 of sugar-cane became drifting ashes. Nine miles from Guanabana the train came to a washout, stopped, giving us time to wander about the country. Not an in habitant was visible—yes, in one of the ruined haciendas I did find one family. Father, mother and daughter had been living on potatoes and fruit for more than a year. Meat and money they had not seen since the beginning of the insur rection. The lonely ones living there were worse off than Arabs in the desert, for they had neither horses nor salt. Learning that they actually beheld an American, they fell to the ground and kissed my boots. Then they wanted to know if what they had heard was really true—that President McKinley was com ing to live in "Cooba" and was to fur nish all "Cooba ns" with codfish and corn meal and coin forever. After that, at every plantation I visited, I found pacifi cos living in the same tomb-like seclu sion, the ghostly apparitions of a para dise in ruins.-—Havana Letter in Leslie's Weekly.

In other words, shorts or middlings, if of good quality, are to corn as 108 is to 100, but the two together are worth more than either ope Some shorts, however, are not liiUcn better tHatt brttii, CleanliiieSs in Milkiiigi Tbis is the. iimH. pf when ba odors are most likely to get inta flcnU^at this is one reason why so many niia difficult to make good butter in winter. Ou no account should the cow be milked in the stable where she has laid through the night. When cows are awakened for feeding in the morning most of them will void both their solid and liquid excre ment which had accumulated from last night's food. After this is done lead or drive the cow into a well-ventilated room used for milking, and the cow should be fjireti the most appetizing part of its ra tions, here. Sometimes the cow will fail to urliiate before leaving the stable, and the sohhd tif inilk streaming into the Pail rnfly cftiteiB nfer td attempt..to. urinate tts soon as milking begins. This is a veB' annoying habit, and we used partially to cure it when we milked half a dozen c?ws every morning. So soon as they were aroused we poured water slowly into an old tin pail kept for that use. This excites the cows' imagination, each thinking that urine was flowing into the pail. We often had each of these cows urinate' witJlin Ave minutes after this was dobe. If the cow begins to Urliiate ln the milking rotitii, stop the milking until the Urihatioii is completed, and then cover tqe place $fht»rfe the utius fell with some thing that will absorb the odors, tier man potash salts are the best for this use that wre know of. This makes some trou ble, but it is well repaid in the better quality of winter-made milk, and in the ability to keep winter butter a longer time without spoiling.—American Culti vator.

But a late, rfcmiiider is better than iioiie. Aii icehouse iieed not be an. expensive construction. Jh, filet, any. rude building made of rdugh boHrdg will fiiis^er llic purpose. GOod drainage must be pro vided for, also good ventilation. The drain must not admit a current of air to the ice. There must be a good founda tion, or bed on which the lower layer of ice is to rest, and it should be covered with nonconducting material. It is better to build early, before cold weather sets in, yet it can be built at any time. The ice can even be put in a pile, on a proper foundation or bed, and a house put over it at convenience. An old hay bay or shed can be Utilised for ice storage, In an emergency ice can be kept witlioilt ali J' iiilid of building over it. In sections of the country where lum ber is scarce and high in price and hay is plenty and worth but little, the Avails of icehouses have been made of pressed hay. Do not fail to secure ice for family and dairy use.—F. W. Moseley of Clinton, la., in Farm, Field and Fireside. The Shepherds' Contest at Omaha.

This will make the cost more than the change is wortlf Unless the sand and clay are much closer together than is usual. We have known it t# be dobe in gardens for the culture of melons and cucumbers, both of which succeed better where sand constitutes a part of the soil.

THS CAPRICE OF FASHION. Tunics Have Taken the Place of frills and Flounces. Fashion has been an unusually capri cious jade this season. It was only a day or two a$o. or so it seems to me. that ev ery fashion writer in this country was telling us that all the skirts of distinction were loaded with ruffleB and ruchings, fOWS of passementerie and entredeux of lace and chenille. Without pausing to consider the effect of so many furbelows upon obr particular styles of loveliness or iigllneSS We ftiShed headlong in the wake of the fashion leaueffl, tall and short, stout and thin, all robing ourseit'es as nearly alike as possible. It was astonish ing how quickly we became accustomed to .the new fashions. No one could lay claim tti diStiHctleii Unless she wore a skirt of several stories. Btit this mode was hardly established when there was ft demand for novelty. Those wbmen With reputations for being in tnfe Vaiigilafd Of frtsfiion demanded ex clusive styles from the colitlifiefs, for fur belows and flounces had become popular. Therefore we are forewarned that the latest and most fashionable skirts are quite plain, fastening invisibly in front or at the sides or buttoning down the back. These skirts are anatomical in cut and fit from the waist to the knees, where they still flare prettily, running out in a round pointed tail at the back. The only modification of this style of skirt that is now allowed by Dame Fashion is the tunic, polonaise or redingote. For tall Women, these fashions are charming, as the skirt aud overdress are- generally of different colors. Short women will find that they detract from the height and should avoid them. Many of the tunic and polonaise gowns are made with belts. This simplifies the work of the dress maker, she can cut waist and skirt sepa rately, joining them at the waist, be neath the belt. "Women in Politics. To the English woman politics is a pro fession, to the French woman, an in trigue but to the American woman it is rarely more than an episode—something that crosses her path incidentally and is presently disposed of. This is the natural outcome of the transformations that are constantly taking place in our national and municipal affairs, and is perhaps more in accordance with the American feminine temperament than the pro nounced conservative policies of some other nations could possibly be. I am here referring to politics in ite most com prehensive sense, and not to the fanatical petticoated orator and frequenter of the polls who, of late years, has sought to claim the attention of a long-suffering public. Some irreverent person has ven tured to assert that no woman could le gitimately hope to be successful in poli tics for the simple reason that she does not know how to shout. Be this as it may, women who a quarter of a century ago were satisfied to be steeped in domes ticity, whose horizon was bounded on one side by the nursery and on the other by the literature of the cook-book, now indulge in campaigning and stump-speak ing, expressing their views and "boom ing" their man in very creditable rhetoric. There is hardly a city of any importance in the Union that does not boast of its woman's political club. The members make it their business to win votes in the poor districts, and it must be confessed that in this respect the results have been very gratifying. The ladies are not only sincere in their efforts but are fully alive to a consciousness of their own impor tance in the community. No desire for personal preference or gain mars in their convictions. They labor for a principle— a cause—aud are consequently entitled to the high degree of respect that we accord a strictly honest motive. They appear also to succeed in harmonizing their lives with their political aspira tions. Still, the most generous-minded cannot help feeling that their enthusi asms are largely a matter of sentiment of the kind that women of every class are prone to mix with the serious things of life, while secure iu the belief that they are eimply accomplishing a rigid duty and in nowise do they represent an actual force, inasmuch as while there is undoubted power to be derived from their co-operation, the moving strength that springs from a seductive personality is in most cases woefully lacking. Nev ertheless the woman who is a factor in our politics exists, and we have ouiy to go to the national capital to see her in all lier glory .—The Marquise Lanza in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. —Prof. Max Muller bas completed Us «ar. and alao toe jjubilM of bit c»re*r at Oxford BETTER HALVES IN REALTY.
