Speaking of the I ailri I dispatch made public by Assistant Secretary Day. 6eitor Ctilloin said: "I regard the coins pursued by the pres ident In answer to the Spanish government s rigid, jiistifiel by all the conditions, and the American psopls will endorse him in the posliion he has Uken. 1 have believed for some days that we were rearing a crisis from day to day, and it has seemed to me that the Spanish government was endeav oring to bring on a ronfltct between that government and ours. Whether this gov ernment desires it or not, on this account it would be almost forced into war with Spain. I do not well understand. In view of the manifestation of interest this country has taken in the conttict which bas been going on between Spain and the Cubans, how a withdrawal of any kind could be thought ot, either troui the point of view of national interest or of common humanity. Our eo pie do not want war, neither dcs the pres ident; but neither the president nor the people will submit to any humiliation at the bands of the Spaniards. I think II is another step on their part Into forcing an issue between that government and our own." Senator Morgan sain: "I heartily applaud the presidents action in the dispatch brought to my attention. I do not think the Spanish government aid insist upon Lee's recall, nor do I think it will refu-e a bounty to those poor and sta'T ing creatures, the reconcentraios, even though it may he dished out to them with a mailed hand. We are proud of General Lee and his conduct in Cuba. The rtq iest fur the recall of General I-e, in my opinion ) was in ileterauce to the sentiment in Madrid. Alter all the forbearance we have shown Spain in making our country a base for her aupplies, she turns upon us and makes everything done by us an act ot enmity. After awhile we wiil I sniliciei tly informed as to the intentions of the Spanish govern ment toward us to meet them half way." Representative Grusvenor, of Ohio, said: "Siaiu hi the undoubted right to make a peremptory demand for the withdrawal of Genenl Lee. Under ordinary circumstan ces this government would be bound to grant this concession upon demand hut un der existing circiiU'tinces, where the with drawal of Lee would bean implied censure of his course, the president should refuse just as peremptory The withdrawal ol Lee would leave an Inference ol censure on the part of this government, and that the people could not atlnrd to do, inasmuch as General Lee, in all bis acts, has met the en tire approval ol the president. If Spain has requested the withdrawal and the president has refused, Spain will probably dismiss Lee immediately and send him home, II the president Teels offended in the spirit of 8paiu' action, I e need not send any one in Lee's place. This comes pretty near an open rupture between the two governments.

There- id every reason to believe, from recently disclosed information by .M. Alfred ft.iriuniu, that in -ortrav itif on linvas that inipressivo episode tlui rrti.st was not iiulueinvd by solely im Igiimtivo caprice, but that ho hustrpro iluced a scene- ill real life. Tho facts lire its follows: The duelists were M. Jules limine, a former minis tor of public instruction under tho see cud empire, and M. D. D., a well known Journalist on tho staff of ouo of tho most influential newspapers iu the uorth of Franco. When tho duel occur rod, both wero studying for tho bar. One Shrove Tuesday they, iu company with friends, had repaired to a restau rant on tho Boulevard with a view of enjoying a ftciOil dinner ami afterward of going to the lna.Sipaeraile bull nt tho Opera. They all agreed to go as Tier rots. As they all wore masks some oue suggested that they should adopt some distinctive sign by which they could recopui.e ono another iu the crowd. 1). t. suggested that they should phi a la bel bearing a number to their backs. Tho idea was uuauimously adopted, and D. D. prepared the labels accordingly. While so doing a diabolical idea came into his head. It was carnival time. Why should ho not have his little joke? Whou it was Jules Brume's turu to have a ticket piuued to his back, his friend D. D. had written iu large letters beneath tho number, "I am Jules Braiue." One can easily imagine what was the result. No sooner had Braiue sot foot in the main passage to the pre miere galerio than he was followed by a lady wearing a mask, who, ou his pro paring to enter a private box, cried out, "I wish you success, Jules Braiue. ' Later on, on re-entering tho passage, he was surrounded by a fcroup of masquer ndcrs, who with oue voice shouted out, "tiojd day, my dear Braaie." That proved to bim that he was known to every cue, although ho was pulled to understand how it could bo. Passing iu front of a bes opener, tho girl burst out laughing. Ho impaired angrily what she was laughing at. "Why," she replied, "I am laughing at tho funny idea which led you to piu a label ou your back with your name ou it." And, suiting tho aetiou to the word, sho tmpiuued the label uud baud ed it to him. Jules Craine considered tho joke net only iu bad tasto, but insulting, llo sought out his comrade, uud, finding him in the saloou, ho reproached him angrily iu tho hearing of the crowd, iu sistiug that he should npolugizo openly theu and there. D. D., resenting his friend's attitude toward him, declined to apologize. A drel therefore, iu ac cordance with French habits and cus toms, was inevitable. Seconds were at once clmscn. bhort swords were pro cured, ami in tbeir Pierrot costumes the antagonists started for the Bois do Boulogne. Fortunately the duel did not end fatally, ;.s sixius to bo tho case iu Geromu's piuture, 'or, although Uramo ran his sword right through D. D.'s body, no vital organ was touched. Ho recovered very quickly, and the two an tagonists becamo fast friends again. Westminster Gazette. NECESSITIES COSTLY. In Pari Water I the Mnt Trecious and Exclusive Drink. "Water is the most precious and ex clusive drink you cau order iu Paris," writes Lilian Bell in a letter from tho French capital to The Ladies' Home Journal "Imagine that, you who let the water ruu to cool it ! Iu Paris they actually pay for water in their houses by tho quart. Artichokes and truffles and mushrooms and silk stockings and kid gloves are so cheap here that it makes you blink your eyes, bat eggs and cream uud milk are luxuries. Silks and velvets are bewilderingly inexpen sive, but cotton stuffs are from America and are extravagances. They make them up into 'costumes' uud trim them with velvet ribbon. Never by any chance could you bo supposed to send cottou frocks to be washed every week. Tho luxury of frosh, starched musliu dresses and plenty of shirt waists is unknown. "I never shall overcome the ecstasies of laughter which assail me when I see varieties of coal exhibited iu tiny shop windows, set forth iu high glass dishes, as we exploit chocolates at home. But well they may respect it, for it is really very much cheaper to freeze to death than to buy coal in Paris. The reason of all this is the city tax on every chick en, every carrot, every egg brought into Paris. Every mouthful of food is taxed. This produoes an enormous revenue, and this is why the streets are so clean. It is why the asphalt is as smooth as a ballroom floor. It is why the whole of Paris id as beautiful as a dream." Too Much Like a Pan. "No, sir," iid the Kansas editor, "your services are no longer required." "May I venture to ask why I'm dis charged?" "You're too blamed funny. That style may do in the blase and heartless east, but when you refer to a death in a cyclone as 'a terrible blow' to the fam ily you overdo it out here."

The salts of this metal are insoluble iu water, aiirl consequently it is plain that when these salts are formed tho water can bo strained and the impurities removed therefrom. Per haps the most practicable method of puri fying water by this means is the trough method, as it is called, tho trough be ing competed of plates of aluminium and zinc or imu, six cr eight inches apart. One end of the tank affords an entrance for the volume of water which passes over tho top of ono plate and thence under the plate next to it, this being accomplished by tho fact that the elevation of tho several plutes is differ- ! cut. In connection with this tank or ' trough there is an electrical generator . of moderate size, and, though aluuiiui- . mn will uot form tho negative pole of a current, the other plates used wilL Now. as it is always the raso that when au electric current comes iu contact with water in this manner it decom poses a certain portion of the fluid, as it were, the roult of such decomposi tion is that ozone is formed and oxygen freed the meaning of this being the ab solute extinction of lifo iu any microbes or organic matter which tho water might contain, leaving it after meeting tho purification the silts of aluminium oc casion as char and healthful as the water which flows from the purest spring. -New York Sua Wolf Children. The adoption of human infants by wild and carnivorous quadrupeds has obtained more or less credence among tho vulgar from tho earliest ages, and while such today are for tho most part poohpoohed as idle tales tho skeptics have little idea of tho evidence that has been offered in substantiation thereof. Half a century ugo the iconoclast who would have dam! question that Romulus and Reninsowcd their nurtur ing to a the wolf would have been laughed to scoru Ly nioct lovers of tho classics. Twenty -five years later tho ani mal was substituted, on tho part of tu tors, by a woman mimed Lupa a most inglorious conclusion, derived solely from imagination. Today tho tendency to ignore all senti'incut causes such ideas to receive scant courtesy, und when son timeut is introduced as evidence is met by tho undeniable statement that the samo miracle is accredited with preserv ing the lives of many gods and heroes of antiquity. Consequently if a siugle case of a child being fostered and reared by animals can bo substantiated beyond questiou tho result will bo to rehabili tate as history much literature that sole ly on this account bus been relegated to the realm of fiction.

"Does not your father say grace?" "Oh, yes, " answered Willy prompt ly, "but it isn't so long as that." "And what docs he say?" pursued the clergyman, hoping to obtain a text for a little homily.
