Getting Out of a Tight Place.

Lt Is a serious offense for a German Boidder to appear m public except iu uniform, even when on furlough. A certain lieutenant, who was engaged in some adventure or other, dressed up as a civilian, was having a fine time of it when he unexpectedly met his colonel. He did not, however, lose his presence of mind. He walked right up to the colonel and in a changed voice asked: “Can you tell me, sir, where Lieut. Schmidt lives? lam his brother, and wish to pay him a little viw>.” The colonel gave the dQsLred information and the lieutenant hurried home and got into his uniform. He thought he had deceived his superior officer, but next day when he met his colonel the latter said: “Lieut. Schmidt, if your brotlier pays you another visit I shall have him placed in close confinement for thirty days.”—Weekly Telegraph. *

TURKEY-EATING HORSE.

Had Eaten Twenty-five Before He Was Discovered. ’Squire Letch Weathers, who lives near Clintonville, Ky., has a horse which knows a good thing when he sees it. Mrs. Weathers raises turkeys for market. She had thirty young turkeys, all doing well and fattening nicely. She turned them loose in the farmyard where the horse was accustomed to graze. From time to time the turkeys would show up short. The good lady thought a fox or some other “varmint”

was stealing them, but the strung* thing about it was that they disappeared by day always, while the wild animals which eat poultry generally da their work at night. The young turkeys kept on disappearing. Mrs. Weathers was heartbroken, but no amount of watching did any good. At last only six were left. On* morning Mrs. Weathers heard a commotion among the poultry, and, goinf to the door, she was just in time to se* the twenty-fifth turkey disappearing into the mouth of the family horse. Th* horse now grazes elsewhere. Th* ’Squire declares he cannot afford t* feed him on turkey any longer.

A famous pear tree, which had lived nearly six centuries, near Toulon, was destroyed recently by a violent windstorm. The trunk was nearly twelve feet in circumference. M.

M’KINLEY’S MESSAGE.

Communication Which Accompanied the Treaty to the Senate. The following is the text of the message Sint to the Senate by President McKinley to accompany the Hawaiian treaty: To the Senate of the United States: I transmit herewith to the Senate, In order that ufter due consideration the constitutional function of advice and consent may be exercised by that body, a treaty for the annexation of the Republic of Hawaii to the United States, signed in this capital by the plenipotentiaries of the parties on the 16th of June lustant. For the better understanding of the subject I transmit. In addition, a report of the Secretary of State briefly reviewing the negotiation which has led to this important result. The Incorporation of the Hawaiian Islands into the body politic of tlie United States is the necessary anil fitting sequel to the chain of events which, from a very early period of our history, has controlled the Intercourse and prescribed the association of the United States and the Hawaiian Islands. The predominance of American Interests In that neighboring territory was first asserted In 1820 by sending to the Islands a representative agent of the United States. It found further expression by the signature of a treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation with the King in 1820—the first international compact negotiated by Hawaii. It was signally announced In 1843, when the Intervention of the United States caused the British Government to disavow seizure of the Sandwich Islands by a British naval commander and to recognize them by treaty as an Independent stnte, renouncing forever anypurpose of annexing the Islands or exerting a protectorate over them. In 1851 the cession of the Hawaiian Kingdom to the United States was formally offered, and, although not then accepted, this Government proclaimed its duty to preserve alike the honor and dignity of the United States and the safety of the Government of the Hawaiian Islands. From this time until the outbreak of the war In 1861 the policy of the United States toward Hawaii aud of the Hawaiian sovereignty toward the United States was exemplified by continued negotiations for annexation or for a reserved commercial union. Tlie latter alternative was at length accomplished by the reciprocity treaty of 1875, the provisions of which were fenewed and expanded by the convention of 1884, embracing the perpetual cession to the United States of the harbor of Pearl River in the Island of Oahu. In 1888 a proposal for the Joint guaranty of the neutrality of the Hawaiian Islands by the United States, Germany and Great Britain was declined on the announced ground that the relation of the United States to the islands was sufficient for the end In view. In brief, from 1820 to 1893 the course of the United States toward the Hawaiian Islands has Consistently favored their autonomous welfare, with the exclusion of all foreign Influences save our own, to the extent of upholding eventual annexation as the necessary outcome of that policy. Not only Is the union of the Hawaiian territory to the United States no new scheme, but it Is the inevitable consequence of the relation steadfastly maintained with that mld-Paclfic domain for three-quarters of a century. Its accomplishment, despite successive denials and postponements, has been merely a question of time. While Its failure In 1893 may not be a cause of congratulation, it is certainly a proof of the disinterestedness of the United States, the delay of four years having abundantly sufficed to establish tlie right and the ability of tlie Republic of Hawaii to enter, as a sovereign contractant, upon a conventional union with the United States, thus realizing a purpose held by the Hawaiian people and proclaimed by successive Hawaiian governments through seventy years of their virtual independence upon the benevolent protection of the United States. Under such circumstances, annexation Is not a change; it is a consummation. The report of the Secretary of State exhibits the character and course of the recent negotiations and the features of the treaty Itself. The organic and administrative details of incorporation are necessarily left to the wisdom of the Congress, and I cannot doubt, when the function of the constitutional treaty-making power shall have been accomplished, the duty of the national legislature in the case will be performed with the largest regard for the interest of this rich lusulSr domain and for the welfare of the inhabitants thereof. WILLIAM M’KINLEY.

TRAIN IN THE RIVER.

Passenger Engine and Cars Plnnge Through an Open Draw in Chicago. A Chicago suburban train on the Evanston branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, consisting of engine, tender and two coaches, laden with' nearly fifty passengers, ran into the open draw of the bridge at Canal and Kinzie streets at 9:55 o’clock Thursday night. The engine and first car plunged into the river. Eighteen persons were injured and a panic prevailed. The accident happened at the time when traffic on that branch of the road is lightest of the day. Had it occurred two or three hours earlier the loss of life might have been great, as then the trains are made up of six to eight coaches, all heav ily loaded, and at the speed at which this train was moving the weight would have carried it into the river entirely. As it was otiy the engine and first car left the rails. The engine was buried under water - and the engineer and fireman were rescued from the submerged machine by tfh-i assistance of a tug that happened to be in the vicinity ait the time. The car was a combination passenger and baggage coach with the baggage end nearest the engine. The baggageman, a colored passenger and another employe of the road were in the compartment and received a thorough drenching, besides serious bruises from faKing pieces of baggage. The train was two minutes late leaving the Union depot and proceeded to the

crossing of the Northwestern road a few fec4 south of Kinzie street. There the rules compel aid trains to come to a half, but as the target was “right” for the Milwaukee road, Engineer Cleveland did not see the necessity of coming to a standstill, and, after slowing down speed, pulled out the lever and went ahead. Less than fifty feet north is the private bridge of the Milwaukee road across the Chicago river. Cleveland did not notice that the draw was open, and not until the pilot of bis engine was within a few feet of the chasm did he see the danger is front. Then, reversing tlhe lever, he gave a cry of warning to the fireman and prepared to jump. The engine was over ths brink, however, before either of the men could escape, and in an insitant sank under the surface of the river.

WEYLER IS A FAILURE.

Disastrou* Result* of Hi* Year's Commaud in Cnba, Under a recent date a Madrid new*, paper man, writing to a London paper, gives a graphic account of Gen. Weyler’* year of command in Cuba. It has from the beginning been marked with unexampled severity toward all classes of Cubans. One result of this has been the disappearance of the Moderates and Autonomists, some of whom have been driven into exile, others into the ranks of the Separatists. Another result has been to desolate a large part of the island.- Gen. Weyler has literally made a solitude and called it peace. But it is not peace. With au overwhelming army he has made “military promenades” through the four provinces of Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara, burning and ravaging everywhere. The insurgents have avoided coming to a pitched battle. So he has declared there are no rebels there and those provinces are pacified. But it is not so. No sooner has he turned back to Havana than the patriots are in the field again, masters of the whole country outside the few fortified towns, and often menacing the latter and inflicting severe losses upon the Spanish army itself. , The correspondent gives an impressive official summary of the losses sustained since the outbreak of the war. Down to December, 1890, Spain put into Cuba nearly 198,000 men, including 40 generals and 084 field officers. Of these

GENERAL WEYLER.

there have been killed in battle or have died from wounds 2 generals, 12 field officers, 107 subalterns and 1,707 men. Losses from yellow fever and other diseases leach the appalling aggregate of 1 general, 30 field officers, 287 subalterns and more than 20,000 men. Although the official statistics are silent on this point, it is known that fully 20,000 men have been sent back to Spain in an invalid condition, most of them with shattered constitutions, many of them to die. The total loss, then, to the Spanish army aggregates more than 44,000, or more than 22 per cent of the whole. Against this the Spanish claim to have killed in battle 212 rebel officers and 13,091 men, to have wounded 41 officers and 3,522 men, to have taken prisoners 34 officers and 941 men, and to have received 22 officers and 2,594 men who have voluntarily surrendered. These figures, especially those of the killed, must be taken with much allowance, remembering that in the Ten Years’ War the Spaniards claimed to have killed and captured more rebels than the whole population of the island. But even taking them at their face value, they show a total loss to the insurgents pf only 20,457, or considerably less than half the Spanish losses. No wonder that, in view of this showing, Gen. Weyler realizes that he has failed.

An avalanche in Kashmir, involving the loss of life of several English officers, which has been paining many people in England, turns out to be the invention of a native servant who had run away from one of the officers.

SAVED FROM INSANITY.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla Proved to Be the Right Kind of Medicine. The horrors which accompany a shattered nervous system are known only to those who suffer. No one else can comprehend them. Weak nerves, insufficiently nourished owing to impure Wood, lead to nervous prostration and insanity. Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies and enriches the blood, strengthens the nerves and restores physical, mental, nervous and digestive strength. Just read this letter: “Kalamazoo, Mich.. April 6, 1897. “0. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: “I was sick for six months and in a terrible condition. When 1 was not confined to my bed I was hardly able to get around. I was all run down .and lost flesh so that I weighed only 100 pounds. I could not bleep and I had very bad spelts with my (heart. My stomach was also in a bad condition, and my head fe-lt so that at 'times I could not see across the room. 1 was told that I had nervous prostration and that my blood was bad. 1 tried medicines with only temporary relief. One day I was told to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla and I got ®x bottles. I began taking it and soon commenced to improve. This encouraged me to continue. I had found the right kind of medicine. I nm now completely cured. I have gained in flesh and weigh 158 pounds. I can cat and sleep well. 1 recommend Hood’s Sarsaparilla to all sufferers and believe it saved me from the insane asylum.” Mrs. F. F. Firrar, 1023 North Burdick street

Civilization Does Not Stick.

Seymour Foose, an old Kansan, who now resides In Blaine Count}', Oklahoma, gives an Interesting account of how difficult it is to make civilization stick with the Indian. A number of Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians have been sent from Blaine County to be educated in the white man’s ways, most of them to the school at Carlisle. On their return they will carry all of the evidence's of civilization—dress in white man’s clothes and speak English well. A few weeks’ contact with the tribe works wonders. The first indication of their return to savagery is the manner in which they let their hair grow long. Next they become reticent, and a few moutlis puts them into the blankets and The fact is, the wild Indians laugh at the educated ones and shame them into returning to the savage state. Red Bird, a chief of the Cheyennes, is a graduate of Harvard, but he wears blankets and paints his face with vermilion.—Wichita (Kan.) Eagle.

Start of a Colorado Graveyard.

“The graveyard In Georgetown, Colo., was started,” explained a Colorado politician, “by burying a man who was lynched. He was a bad character and made himself very disagreeable In many ways. Finally he shot a saloonkeeper there, and the boys, supjKtslng thart. tine saloon-keeper was dead, organized a lynch court and executed iiUn in very Mhont order. After they returned from their lynching bee the saloonkeeper showed some algins of life. By Hie most careful kind of uwistlng he recovered from Ills .injury. The boys then saw that they had made a mistake; that a life aliould not have been taken except in return for a life, ami they raised quite a largo sum of monoy fund scant It to the fellow's irttroutis. Tliough the body was first planted in a gully, It was afterward taken up anil properly interred in what is now Georgotown’s leading cemetery. The saloon man always kept the grave green.”—Washington Stair.

Would Arm the World.

If all guns made by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, Ct., could be colleated, there would be mote than enough to equip the standing armies of the world. There are over 2,000,000 Winchester guns in use to-day and the number is rapidly increasing. The popularity of Winchester rifiea and repeating shot guns is deserved, for they always give entire satisfaction, and for strong and accurate shooting they are unsurpassed. These guns are made in all desirable calibers and styles. Every gun has to pass the most severe tests before it leaves the works, which insures its being perfect.

Showed It in His Face.

The Washington Poet, without mentioning names, reports a sharp thrust at one of the many private secretaries at the national capital. He is still new to his honors, the Post says, and with the rest of his airs possesses a drawl that makes him of-* fenslve. One day a newspaper woman, full of business, burst into the office of this secretary’s chief. The great man was out. “Can you tell me when he will be In?” she asked. “Really,” drawled the clerk, “I haven’t an Idea.” “Well,” said the newspaper woman, as she turned to go, “I must say you look it”

There Is a Class of People

Who are injured by the use of coffee. Recently there has been placed in all the grocery stores a new preparation called GRAIN-O, made of pure grains, that takes the place of coffee. The most delicate stomach receives It without distress, and but few can tell it from coffee. It does not cost over one-fourth as much. Children may drink It with great benefit. 15c. and 25c. per package. Try it. Ask for GRAIN-0.

A Long Journey.

Geese in migration often travel over 6,000 miles. Turpentine farmers in several of the Southern States protect their property against loss by fire during the summer by burning the grass and underbrush in midwinter. 1 Julian now has seven studies in Paris for women art students, of which the chief is still the one in the Passage des Panoramas, which Marie Bashkirtseff attended.

How Icebergs Are Formed.

The birth of a huge Iceberg, a phenomenon that has been seen only once or twice by a European, and, to a certain extent, has remained a matter of theory, was observed by the Danish explorers on the east coast of Green : land last summer. The bergs are formed by breaking off from the end of glaciers extending from the perpetual ice of the unexplored interior to the coast and into the sea- The water buoys up the sea end of the glacier until it breaks by its own weight, with a noise like loud thunder miles away. The commotion of the water, as the iceberg turns over and over in the effort to attain its balance, is felt to a great distance along the coast. The natives regard it as the work of evil spirits, and believe that to look upon the glacier In Its throes Is death. The Danish officers, when observing the breaking off of the great glacier, at Puissortok, through their telescope, were roughly ordered by their Esquimaux escort, usually submissive enough, to follow their example and turn their backs on the interesting scene. They had happily completed their observations, and avoided an embarrassing conflict with their crew by a seeming compliance with the order.

Two Bad Habits.

Taking strong coffee to cure a headache is like taking whisky to cure the shakiness which is one of the effects of whisky. It seems to do it, but the result is deceptive. The cure becomes a new cause and you are worse off than before. Better stop coffee altogether and use Graln-O, the new food-drink. Whereas coffee is not a food at all, but only a nerve-fooling toxic stimulant, Graln-0 Is a preparation of pure grains, palatable, nutritious and absolutely harmless. It is thoroughly satisfying, four times cheaper than coffee, acceptable to the most sensitive stomach and free from the constituents which make coffee a damaging beverage. Drinkers of Graln-0 are never kept awake of nights—not by that anyway. Ask your grocer for a 15c. or 25c. package.

The case of Mrs. Colony, whose letter to Mrs. Pinkham we publish, is an illustration of the good to be received from Mrs. Pinkham’s advice; here is a woman who was sick for years and could get no relief—at last in despair she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham—received In return a prompt, sympathetic and interested reply. Note the result and go and do likewise. “ I was troubled with such an aching in my backhand hips, and I felt so tired all the time, and had for four years. For the last year it was all I could do to drag around. I would have such a ringing in my head by spells that it seemed as though I would grow crazy. I ached from my shoulders to my feet and was very nervous. I was also troubled with a white discharge. I wfote to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., received a prompt reply and followed her advice, and now I have no backache and begin to feel as one ought; in fact, I never felt better in ten years than Ido now. I thank God that I went doctoring with Mrs. Pinkham when I did, for if I had not I know I would have been in my grave.” —Mm. Nellie E. Colony, Nahma, Mich.

Washing Blankets.

Blankets which have been used afi Wister, no matter how white they may look, are never clean, and should not be put away for the summer without being washed. Many housekeepers satisfy themselves by shaking and airing their blankets, rather than risk spoiling them in washing. But this is an error, for if the work is properly done no Shrinking will take place, and the softness and color may be retained for years. The most necessary thing in washing blankets is to have plenty of soft water and good soap. Inferior soap is the real cause of the damage done woolen goods in washing. When ready to begin the work shake the blankets free of dust, fill a tub nearly full of soft hot water. Dissolve a third of a cake of Ivory soap in it. Put in one blanket at a time. Dip up and down and wash gently, with the hands. Never rub soap on the blankets, or wash them on the washboard. After the. blankets ars clean rinse them in warm water until free of suds. Add a little bluing to the last water. Shake and sponge them, and hang on the line until dry; then take down, fold and pack in a box and set away in a coot room. Blankets thus washed will retain their original freshness, as well as wear three times as long us if put away soiled year after year.
