ficials that the Venezuelan authorities
have a good caee, otherwise they would
be disposed to allow the matter to drop.
An otlicial admitted that the Venezuelan
authorities would have a perfect right to
arrest and punish the consignees of the
rnundelphia U it should transpire that
M jares was a criminal under the com
mon lew. The department heretofore
has figured from the assumption that
Minister Scruggs had prima-facie evi
dence that he was a political refugee,
and that the charge of cattle-stealing
was simply trumped up to get him off
the steamer. In this light he would un
doubtedly be upheld by this government,
and the arrest of the consignees would
probably result in a protest.

One haunting fear pervades the inner
councils of the managers of the World's
Fair in Chicago. It relates to the possi
bilities of the return of cholera with the
opening of spring. In that event it is
acknowledged tnat the fair would re
ceive a blow from which it could scarcely
recover.
Auditor W. K. Ackerman, of the
World's Fair Commission, has tendered
his resignation and has informed the
local Executive Committee that a leak
exists between the treasurer's offiae and
the gates. Ackerman does not charge
that the shortage is due to dishonesty,
but claims that thousands of tickets of
admission to the Fair have disappeared,
and as he has no control over the men
at the gat' s he declines to jeopardize his
reputation by remaining in his office.
The jelly palace to be erected by the
women of California for the World's

marble steps. The framework of the
building will be of wire, and on this will
be firmly placed several thousand jelly
glasses cuts, globes, prisms, etc. con
taining jellies of many colors and shades
of color arranged with artistic effect and
in beauti'ul designs. The cost of the
frame work and glasses alone is estimated
at $2,700, and the brilliant effect will be
heightened by many electric lights.

The Tobacco Heart.
The Influence of tobacco upon the heart
Is frequently more strongly marked than
in any other direction. There are few per
sons who use this substance to excess who
do not suffer from the disordered action of
the organ in question. The impulse is
rendered weaker an ! more irregular, so
that faintness, intermittent pulse and pal
pitation are induced.
The tobacco heart is so well known arid
recognized by physicians that when the
organ is found to be in an abnormal con
dition questions to the pnt in regard to
toe use or tonacco are t sver omittea, ana
prohibition is insisted upon in every case
without exception. I am very sure, from
my own experience, that many young per
sons lay the seeds of organic disease of the
heart from the excessive use of tobacco or
from beginning it too early in life.
It not only lessens the nervous influence
by which the heart is kept in action, but it
causes a deterioration of the organic mus
cular fibres of which the organ is com
posed. "Weak heart" and "heart failure,"
so commonly met with in our day, are, I
have no doubt, very often the direct con
sequence of the abuse of tobacco.
The use of tobacco by minors should be
absolutely prohibited, not by laws which
are impossible of enforcement and which
encumber the statute books, but by home
influence and command. If this were
done we should have much lessof the dele
terious effects nf tobacco, for it is very cer
tain that no young person can use this
substance, even in moderation, without
suffering more or less severely at the time
and laying up for himself future troubles
of even mora serious import. Dr. William
A. Hamniutid in New York Herald.
Show Window Two Storlei High.
"It stems strange to me," said a man
who had recently returned from Europe,
"that some of the Ne-v York merchants
who sell dry goods, carpets, furniture, etc.,
do not have show windows such as are
seen on the continent, which extend from
the Lasemeut to the ceiling of the ground
floor. If one such were arranged it would
not only attract great attention on account
of its novelty, but also because it would
afford such an excellent opportunity for
the display of goods. The longest portieres
could be hung up in it, and be seen to much
better advantage than is possible in mast
of the present windows.
"An idea of some of the merchants in
Germany is to have their show windows
of this kind divided into two floors. The
top one is fitted up as a library or reception
room and the bottom as a kitchen or din
ing room. The effect is very realistic, as
the window looks like the section of a
house." New York Tribune.
Nutritive Properties of Cream.
The fact is not so well known as it de
serves to be that cream constitutes an ad
mirable nutriment for invalids. It is su
perior to butter, containing more volatile
oils. Persons predisposed to consumption,
aged persons, or those inclined to cold ex
tremities and feeble digestion are especial
ly benefited by a liberal use of sweet cream.
It is far better than cod liver oil, and be
sides being excellent for medicinal proper
ties it is a highly nutritious food. New
York Commercial Advertiser.

"I call that rug Satsuma," said a head
of a house, who refuses either to know or
to pretend to know anything about pot
tery, although his house is well filled with
specimens collected by members of his
family. Satsuma has come to be his ex
pression for everything that his youngest
boy calls "daisy," and his daughter's new
toque and his wife's latest purchased
painting are classified alike by him, "Very
pretty, quite Satsuma." Boston Tran

The Monkey Wrench,
The monkey wrench is not called so on
account of its fancied or actual resemblance
to a monkey, or because it is a hand; tool
to "monkey" with, but simply because it
is the invention of Mr. Charles Moncky,
of Kings county, X. Y. Although the
world has pretty nearly lost track of Mr.
Moncky, it seems to be a settled fact that '
he sold his patent for $2,000 and invested;
the proceeds in a homestead in the a bo re
ttmed county. St. Louis Republic
