CUBAN TREATY E WHY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT OP. P08E8 PROPOSED OOMPACT WITH GREAT BRITAIN. "Treaty of Commerce and Navigation Between Cuba and Great Britain Pending In U. 8. Senate. Havana, Oct. 7. Owing to the de--relopment of strong opposition to the ten-year-treaty of commerce and navi gation between Ouba and Great Britain 'the ratification of which Is pending In the Senate, the Senate committee on rforeign relations yesterday authorized 'the publication In the government or- -gan of the text of the treaty In order -that Its provisions may be understood. , Since the outline of its main condi tions the treaty has been the subject of much orltlcism In leading news papers here, which agree with the -commercial bodies that Its ratification -would be Inimical to Cuban Interests ' and this criticism has resulted In the publication of a statement by Juan Francisco O'Faddfll, Secretary of 'State, defending the provisions of tie treaty in a general way. ' Article ni of the treaty prohibits ox- port duties from one country to the -other country other than those to any other country Article V prohibits greater duties on goods Imported in British vessels than -on those brought In Cuban ships. This latter article apparently checks any project for lowering the duties be. tween the United States and Cuba on goods carried In either Cuban or Am erlcan vessels. The treaty aocords favored nations treatment with re spect to all port tonnage charges. Article 'VIE provides that any priv ileges granted to veeaels of a third power In harbors or rivers be extended Immediately and unconditionally to either of the contracting powers. Article VIII covers the right of war ships and merchantmen to rent and re--supply in cases of accident or stress of weather. Article X says: ' "Except as regards the duties levi able on imports, the contracting par ties agree that In all matters relat ing to commerce, navigation and In dustry any privilege in favor of im munity of whatever kind, which either party has actually granted or (may grant to the citizens or subjects of any other State shall be extended im mediately and unconditionally to the citizens or subjects of the other con tracting party, it being the intention that the commerce, navigation and In dustry of each country shall be placed by the other on a perfect equality with the commerce, navigation and indus try of the most favored nation. It Is provided that controversies re specting the treaty shall be submitted to arbitrators and an umpire. The treaty is to become applicable to Great Britain's over-sea colonies If any of the latter give notice of Intention to adhere thereto within a year. The -treaty contains twenty-two articles. Some of the senators are strongly In favor of ratifying the treaty as a means of showing Cuban independence of the United States, but it is now be lieved tha the strong opposition of President Roosevelt, combined with -that of the Spanish oommerolal ele ment, will prevent ratification.

KIDNAPED LAD RETURNED. 80 Impressed With Fear That He Can not Give Description of Abductors. New York, Oct. 7. The abandon ment of Tony Marlendino by the per sons who had kidnaped and held him for ransom and the return of the little Italian hoy to his parents, has given the police no clew to the kid. napers. So impressed with fear of the persons who had stolen him was the little fellow that he either could or would give no description of his cap tivity than a masB of confusing contra dictions, out of which the police could extract nothing that would point to the identity of his captor. He has even been so schooled by them that he called them "papa and mama," but declared, upon closer questioning that they were not his real parents. The boy, who is 6 years old, was found on a Third avenue trolley car Thursday evening, where he had been abandoned by two men. He was turned over to the police, who recognized him as the son of an Italian contractor In Brooklyn. He had been missing twelve days.

Woods was placed in the condemned cell on Thursday and spent hiB last night In a way that gave hira the repu tation of being the most nervous of all the murdei'Qt-s who have occupied that room. He tossed and pitched all night and it was three o'clock in t'a morning before he slept at all, then he only dozed for about two hours. His courage, seemed to be going fast, fl'"'ough he tried hard to pull himself i " ther. He partook only lightly of the meals furnished him and his nerve seemed to have left htm entirely. He asked the Warden to issue invi tations for the execution to Chief of Police Jerry Dinan and other officials and seemed to have no hope up to the end. He was sentenced to be executed January 21, 1903, but an appeal for a new trial delayed matters.

HOW TO SUCCEED. When To Go to Work Take the Whole Han to the Taak. Only fresh, spontaneous work really counts. If you have to drfve yourself to your task. It you have to drag your self to your work every morning be cause of exhausted vitality, If you feel fagged or worn out. If thore Is no etas tlclty In your" step or movements, your work will partake of your weakness. Make It a rule to go to your work ev ery morning fresh and vigorous. lou cannot afford to take hold of the task upou which your life's success rests with the tips of your fingers. Yeu can not afford to' bring only a fraction of yourself to your work. Vou want to go to It a whole man, fresh, strong and vigorous, so that It will be spontane ous, not forced; buoyant, not heavy. You want to go to your work with cre ative energy and originality possessed of a strong, powerful Individuality. If you go to It with Jaded faculties and a sense of lassitude after a night's dissi pation or loss at Bleep, It will Inevita bly Buffer. Everything you do will bear the Impress of weakness, and there Is no success or satisfaction in weakneBS. Thta Is Just where a great many peo ple fall In not bringing all of them selves to their task. The man who goes to his tusk with debilitated energy and low vitality, with all of his stand ards down and his Ideals lagging, with a wavering mind and uncertain step, will uever produce anything worth while.

A traveler In the upper Taugtso prov inces of China found lu the towu of HIngaufu many Chinese Mohnmme daus who keep up communication wltlk their fellow religionists ot Arabia. A missionary who has lived among thcui ' for years declares that they are very quarrelsome, much given to boasting of their Turkestnn origin, and, in splto of tho prophet's Injunctions, drink a great deal of wine. TUU Is usually the case wtth Chinese Mohummedaus. In Hliignnfu, and more especially lu Kan buIi, a few, of their spiritual teachers, keep up their knowledge of Arabic and nro occasionally visited by .Arab or . central Asian molluhs, who follow the old Arab trade route by way of HainiT by which the Arabs originally traded and propagated their faith. These niol lahs visit every country In the east where the followers of the prophet are to be found and keep up lhe ties of tho faithful with Islam. As thoy often stir up dissatisfaction aud 'foment dis turbances against the Chluese authori ties, the latter regard them with hus plclou. I flow SirnlloHH Drink. ' Of course wo know that swallows drink as thoy skim ovor tho surface of water. We have seen how hero and there the water ripples on a pond when swallows nro gracefully skim ming to aud fro. One duy 1 sat down bcslUo n small pond where every even ing many barn swallows enmo to batho and drink on the surface of the glassy water. With sketch book and peucll ln, haud I closely watched the birds, nnd you may Imagine my delight to see just how thoy managed to touch and dip up tho wuter as they came within a few steps of me. You see, tho swullow takes up wuter In Its lower bill just as you would dip up a little water In a spoon or in tbo hollow of your hand whtlo you glided over the surface tn a boat. Only the under half of the open bill touches the water. If the upper half were also to touch, tho water would be forced out on either side In stead of being scooped up luto the bill. St. Nicholas. A Lake That Slorca neat. There Is a lake that stores tho sun's heat at Medeve, lu northeastern Transylvania. Thick beds of rock salt underllo the district, aud a slmllnr for mation appears upon tho surface In mounds, somo of them over 100 feet In height. Among these tho Inko rests nt fully 1.&00 feet above sea level. Upon the surfaco its water Is almost sweet, four Inches below ..there Is a twentieth of Bult, nt two feet there la onc-flfth, and at live feet tho water is practically saturated with salt. In September, after a summer's sunshine, the thermometer showed tho lake'Hj waters to ho 150 degrees four feet down. Kvon by April, after 11 wholo season of wintry weather. It had ouly been reduced to 80 degrees. Experi ments have proved that this Is duo to absorption and retention of the sun's heat by the salt saturated solution. Uruce Knlvca. Thero Is a curious class of knives ot tho sixteenth century the blades of which hnvo engraved on one sldo the musical notes to the benediction ot the table, or graco before meat, and on the other the grace after meat These knives usually went In sots of four, representing a four part harmony of bass, tenor, alto nnd treble.
