Others thaw out frozen dynamite and get there Just the same. Some of the people In those other southern republics are probably sur prised at the lengtii of time Cuba has . run along without a revolution. Many a man has made the discovery too late that he misjudged his enemy especially after attempting to lick him and getting beautifully licked himself. If the recording angel takes uote of the doings of nations, the United States must have had a large sum put on the credit side of the ledger on May 20. A man has been sentenced to six months iu 'Jail for stealing a bicycle. A man who would sloop so low as to steal a bicycle ought to get at least six years.

The Erie Railroad Issued an order a few weeks ago that henceforth bridal parties must refrain from throwing rice. As a result the bridal parties Lave been throwing pecks instead of quarts and the road is sorry it spoke. Some things do not need to be said. A famous pianist who played in this country last winter and cleared a hun dred and twenty-five thousand dollars remarked as he sailed for home. "It is with great sorrow that I leave this country, and 1 wish to come back as soon as possible." "Do you play football?" asked Presi dent Uooseveit in a recent letter to a boy who had written to him for some advice. "If so, here Is a motto for you: 'Don't foul, don't flinch. Hit the line hard.'

RECENT the congregation is inclined to suggest that preachers and delegates should go to hotels or If entertained privately pay for their board and lodging. He notes that fraternal organizations pay their delegates per diem and mileage, thus , providing ror (he expenses Incident o such representation. Why should the i church ask Its delegates to represent 1 it fur nothing and in addition rail 1 upon other members of the church to i entertain these delegates without pay? I Some questions naturally arise. Is the church getting uion a commercial ba sis In order to conform to a comuier I cial age? Is the good old custom of hospitality declining? Has the church meni'.ership drawn the line at a money equivalent and dlscarde . self sacrifice and the law of servi.e? Is Christianity resolving Itself Into a matter of dollars and cents? The Prussians are finding that the work of making good Germans of the Poles involves many difficulties. A numoer of children going home from school were singing Polish songB. They were arrested and tried in a police court. The prosecuting officer demand ed that the children be imprisoned rather than fined. The Judge had the good sense to discharge them. The ex tirpation of patriotism, especially as It expresses Itself In music, is an un promising undertaking. Churches are commonly regarded as the mothers of Sunday schools, but the latest annual report of the Congrega tional Sunday School and Publishing Society shows that the reverse Is often the case. During the last year there lias been a greater movement of emi grants to the Northwest than at any time since In the new settlements thus formed the first permanent relig ious Institution is usuallv n Xmii.Iiv school, which, being supplied with Bibles, Bible lessons and other reading matter, grows in time into u church. Of one hundred and fourteen new churches reported last year, forty-five -originated in this way. In a recent article Prof. John Trow bridge declared that forty years ago the physical scientists were trying to solve thp secrets of great things ami were thinking of the large relations In tlie universe, but now they are general ly takiug "the path of human Inquiry which leads Into the world of the In finitely small." Instead of weighing the earth and seeking to fix the limits of the universe they are now concern ed with atoms, electrons, cells and bac illi. Whatever degree of success the scientists may reach In their Investiga tions of the lufiui'ely small, the eeent convulsions lu the Caribbean Sea iiave demonstrated that they have made a sad mess of It with regard to the In finitely large. When Mount Pelee ut tered Its first unmistakable warnings of trouble of some kind, some scient ists went through their calculations and hypotheses and demonstrated that there could be no trouble of any kind. The announcement was hardly made? before the volcano was dealing out death and destruction on every baud. Meanwhile none of these scientists has taken the pains to explain why Mount Pelee acted iu the way It did when they had given bonds for Its good be havior. Some scientists are now busy explaining the reasons for Its convul sions. One charges the disaster to the unusual stress upon the earth, because upon the 8th of May the moon and sun were at right angles to the earth with reference to the sun and earth. A gov ernmeut geologist has long known that the slit of the Mississippi and the Ori noco would cause this trouble by press ing down too hard on the thin crust of earth under the gulf. Then came the plausible theory that there Is a vast mass of fire under that section Into which the waters of the gulf percolat ed and generated steam which caused the explosion. Another geologist says that volcanoes do not throw out Ham lug gases. Either the reports that Mount Pelee did throw out such gases are untrue, or that. If true, It is un wise to speculate on the capabilities of a volcano. Other scientists who made no predictions and -who are not specially Interested in Its causes are laying out more or less startling pro grams for the future, some Involving the disappearance of all the West In dia Islands. In view of the results It would bo wiser for the scientists to realize their limitations and be less dogmatic in their assertions. Mount Pelee and Mount Souffrlere have dem onstrated that the wisest of them know little or nothing of what Is going on down In the bowels of the earth, cer tainly not enough for them to declare what a volcano, active or extinct, can do on a given day. It will be much wiser for them to let the great things alone. JUDICIAL DECISIONS. THOUSANDS DIE EACH YiAR IN AGONY. Irrigation will seemingly be a good thing for the rivers as well as for the arid country which Is primarily in view. Flood waters are always a serl ous menace to the lands along the lower stretches of a great stream, anil any di version of them Into storage buslns, no matter how slight, is to be welcomed. The levees now built for the protection of low country are not an unalloyed blessing. They tend, It is believed, to raise the level of the river-bed, so that In course of time both river and levee rise above the surrounding country. The river of the future must be put un der a harness so that It may be held back at some seasons and hurried on at others. It 1 currently stated that a commit tee representing a church body has ex perienced difficulty In securing a place to hold the sessions of the association under a pledge that the delegates will be entertained by the citizens. It seems the average church member has a disinclination to act as hostess to the visiting ministry and delegates. In these days of better salaries for minis ters the church member who coutrlb- Embarrassing Accuracy. A certain Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, who had a grown-up daughter, went to live in California, where they rented a small furnished bouse and engaged a Chinese mau-of-all-work. The house was well situated and tastefully fur nished, and Wing Lee proved to be a good cook, clean and respectful. As soon as the Andersons were settled the neighbors began to call, and it was then that the fact was discovered that Wing was absolutely tievoid of any Ideas as to the ushering in or out of guests. So one morning Mrs. Anderson and her daughter determined to instruct him. Providing him with a tray, Miss Ander son went out, rang the bell, was shown Into the sitting-room, and waited while the Chinaman carried her card to Mrs. Anderson. This was repeated several times until they were quite satisfied that Wing was perfect in his role. That evening at half past 8 the bell rang. Wing stalked majestically to the door, while mother and daughter leaned over the banisters to watch the result of their teaching. They heard a gentle man's voice ask if the indies were at home. They saw Wing present his tray and receive n card with an air which made them mentally pat each other on the back, aud then they saw him draw a card from his- sleeve. "Mine!" gasped the daughted. "The one we used for the lesson!" Wing compared the two carefully, aud, re turning the one. which the caller had Just handed him. he remarked bladly, "Tlckee no good. No can come," and calmly shut the door In the face of the astonished guest! A recovery of commissions by a real estate agent from both parties is held by the Supreme Court of North Caro lina lu the case of Lamb vs. Bavter H" S. E. ltep..

In Rustad vs Bishop (Minn.), r0 L. It. A. ICS, to constitute a perversion 1 of civil process which the courts cau not sanction. A testator may select his executor. and unless the selection Is made from a class of persons which bv commou law or statute is excluded from ap pointment, the Supreme Court of Er rors or Connecticut, In the case of Farmers' Loan and Trust Company vs. hmlth (ol Atl. Uep.. OO'.t). holds that the Probate Court canuot reject the person selected. Where an employer undertakes to convey an Injured employe to his home and In so doing neglects to tak the proper precaution to cover aud protect mm. in consequence of which expos ure complications ensue, causing his death, the Supreme Court of Uhode Island, in the case of llresnnhan vs. Sousdale (Co. 51 Atl. Hep.. U1U), holds that the employer is liable. It is not usurious to enter Into an agreement for the payment of usury after the loan has beeu made or the original debt, contracted. It is absolute ly necessary that the payment of usury must be a part of the agreement of the loan Itself. There are a variety of ways by which professional money lenders are enabled to avoid the stat utes of a State against usurious prac tices of unscrupulous men (who, how ever, are called "smart, shrewd busi ness men,") by entering into a contract with the borrower by which the lender Indorses the negotiable Instrument. In such case he becomes security on his own note, although at . the time the money Is supposed to be merely Qau died by the lender. In other words, when you apply to the lender for a loap, be very politely tells you that he hasn't any of bis own money to lend, but that he has a client who Is anxious to loan a certain amount, and that he is willing to Indorse the note provided you will pay him, suy fifty dollars, for his Indorsement, and at the same time assures you that he knows where the note can be cashed. If this is the real consideration then the bonus can never be construed as a usurious transaction. although you may have your own Idea of the matter. In such case the lender loans his name and credit for your con sideration, and the Interest on the taco of the note will never exceed the legal rate. In other words, he guarantees your paper, aud the law says that 'ie may receive any cousideratiou what ever for his Indorsement. If, however, you cau show that It was his own' money that actually discounted the pa per, then the contract would be usuri ous. Hut the matter is so managed that It would be a most difficult thing to prove the subterfuge. i I Mtk. 7 r- rAitrno rLJH5 TEACHEto Bow the Schoolrooms A . by the pu, . anm The .Janitor of a public school Ing stood pointing t . . 1 JUSt OUlttlUC tha l.nll.1.

Wolves have a far wider range than leopards. Lions account for some COO lives yearly in Africa, other animals for S00, while the toll to Jaguars In South America, panthers In North, wolves and other dangerous beasts all over the world may be calculated on a popu lation basis at a further 1,800.
