Pug Envious of the Swimming Cat.
There is a certain cat of clerical associations and impeccable social standing who swims Like a fish, and, what Is more, appears to enjoy it like any duckling. A pug dog in the family seems to think the performance unnatural, and whenever the cat goes down to take his bath the pug follows, showing every sign of Jealousy when visitors applaud and express surprise. The other day Master Pug could stand It no longer; he, too, took a plunge, and in a few moments, having reached puss, seized the creature by the throat and held her head under water until life was nearly extinct. Fortunately, some one saw the deed and rushed to the rescue, but even thfs*painful experience has failed to deter the cat from taking her favorite amusement.— Boston Herald.

Victoria and Jenny Lind.
That Queen Victoria is not blind to the hold that other celebrities may have upon the feelings of her people was prominently illustrated In 1848, when Jenny Lind was to sing at her majesty’s theater. The Queen made her first public appearance after tbe memorable Christmas Day. For the great artiste, too, this was a first appearance, for it was the beginning of a season at a place where the year before she had won unparalleled fame. It happened that the Queen entered th royal box at the same moment that the prima donna stepped upon the stage. Instantly a tumult of acclamation burst from every corner of the theater. Jenny Lind modestly retired to the back of the stage, waiting till the demonstration of loyalty to the sovereign should subside. The Queen, refusing to appropriate to herself that which she imagined to be intended for the artiste, made no acknowledgment. The cheering continued, increased, grew overwhelming, and still there was no acknowledgment from either the stage or the royal box. At length, when the situation became embarrassing, Jenny Lind, with ready tact, ran forward to the footlightfe and sang “God Save the Queen,” which was caught up at the end of the soiofbv.tiie ffflsjajejitra, > ence. The Queen then came to the front of her box and bowed, and the opera began.

PERISH IN THE FLOOD-
Bursting Levee Causes Awful Sacrifice of Life. KINDREDS SWEPT TO DEATB. Shawneetown, 111., the Scene of an Appalling Catastrophe. INNOVATION IS COMPLETE. Extends Over a Region Embracing Many Square Miles. Waters of the Hiver When Released Bashed Down with the Force and Swiftness of a. Tidal Wave-Houses Are Torn from Their Foundations and Tossed About in the TorrentHundreds of Survivors Seek Safety Upon the Hoofs or in Trees.
Shawneetown, 111., was inundated by a raging flood at 4:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon, and over 250 persons are reported drowned. Flood waters from the swollen torrents of the Wabash and Ohio rivers rushed down upon the city through a broken levee and swept away everything in their path. The waters swept through the place with the speed of a race horse, giving the people but little chance to reach places of safety. Many hastily mounted to the upper stories of their houses, while others endeavored to reach high ground out of reach of the swirling flood, buit the swift waters speedily engulfed them and they were swept away. Numerous small buildings were carried from their foundations, with their inmates clinging to the roofs. Houses were overturned and tossed about like boxes. The people had no warning of the break and for that reason so many were caught. Those at home sought refuge in second stories and on housetops. Those in the streets were earned before the avalanche of water and probably a majority were drowned. Telegraph and telephone wires were swept down and communication with the outside world was almost immediately cut off. ; Reports of the enormous loss of life, however, amounting to 10 per cent of Shawneetown’s population, came from survivors who reached points of safety down the river. ■ The number swept away is estir mated all the way from 200 to 1,000. City on Low Ground.^ Shawneetown is in Gallatin County, and is a city of 1,800 inhabitants. Its houses are reared on a river bottom ten feet below the normal level of the great stream. A huge levee has been built from near the mouth of the Wabash, ten miles from Shawneetown, to a point below the city to protect it front inundation. It was this levee that gave way a mile and a half above the little city. The Wabash and Ohio have been full to the top of theiir banks for several weeks, and great vigilance has been observed by the people living in the riveT cities to protect themselves from an insweep of the raging waters. Watches have been ob"ocTfPl 1 Jjnd day, and wherever a break hlULbeen tnfea'tefled moai-ures have been adopted mak . The break came at an unexpected point. Earlier in the day the gossip over the telephone wires with neighboring cities had brought the inforuyition that the water in the Ohio, was rushing pell mell toward the Mississippi and was full to the brim, but that the levee at the doomed village appeared to be all right. Cypress Junction was the first place to hear the news. The bulletin came by long-distance telephone. It was of dramatic and horrible brevity. “The levee has broken! The water is rushing in from the bend a mile and a half up the river. Already 250 people are drowned in the lower part of town and ” At this point the operator sending the message ceased speaking. 3’he flood rushed in upon the doomed dwellers of Shawneetown without more warning than a terrible roar. The sweep of the mile and a half from the break to the town was made in a few minutes. The town was inundated to a depth of fifteen feet. Houses were swept from their foundations. The flood came down so suddenly that escape was made well nigh impossible, and people were drowned by scores.

REPLY IS AN INSULT.

Efforts of the United States for Hon* orable Peace Are Answered Only with Insolent Defiance and Evasion of the Heal Issues-f pain Seeks to Justify Her Course, and Declares the American Demands Are Intolerable —No Hope that War Will Be Longer Averted.
Washington correspondence: It seems apparent that the administration has been lenient in its dealings with Spain. President McKinley sought to bring Spain and Cuba to some amicable ar-rangement which would satisfy both, and not be too humiliating to the Spanish government, but Sagasta temporized and deceived until at last tj?e President had to lay down the definite proposition that the independence of Cuba was the only satisfactory solution to the American jeo. pie and the United States Congress. Sagasta sought for further delay, but, when he could not secure that, his ministry sent a reply which is an insult to the President. The reply of Sagasta, when stripped of its diplomatic verbiage, informs the United States that it should to its

own business and not meddle with the affairs of Spain. Spain Will not submit to dictation from this government in the affairs of Cuba. She will leave Cuban affairs to the Cuban Parliament and she will consider the question of amnesty when the insurgents ask for it. The Spanish note answering the demands was telegraphed from Madrid to the powers, together with a copy of the American demands. In this note Sagasta sweeps away all his diplomatic pretensions of desiring the the United States in settling the Cuban questioll~*rLdinsolently tells the President to keep his, Silt_ of other people’s business. Tins reply from Thfl“ Sagasta ministry was rather stunning, but it was no surprise to the members of the cabinet who have for some time urged determined action and expressed distrust of Spain’s pretensious of a desire to end the war and settle the Cuban question in a way to satisfy the American people. Sagasta also added insult to presumption and offered to arbitrate the question of the Maine. This was more than the President could endure with patience. He had made no demand upon Spain, but had sent to Sagasta the findings of our court of inquiry, and left to his own sense of honor the offer of a way for treatment of this question without that of war. But Sagastals only reply is'that he will submit this question to arbitration. It.seems apparent at this writing that Sagasta is ready to end all the differences between this government and Spain with war, and hopes to provoke war by insult. The President is done with diplomatic consideration of these questions. Congress, the war-making power, will deal with it. President McKinley will not unite with Spain in an effort to relieve distress in Cuba. Spain’s appropriation of $600,000 to feed the starving Cubans at this late day is regarded here as only a bluff, with no intention of spending a dollar for that purpose. Sagasta realizes that this government will intervene in Cuban affairs, drive Spain from the island, and then relieve the starving people. The only question to embarrass the administration in its program of intervention is a request that is said to have come from the insurgents, that this government simply recognize Cuban independence and leave to the insurgents the business of driving Spain out of the island. The Cuban situation has now become such that this government cannot stop at simply a recognition of independence without making that independence secure. It cannot recognize the Cubans as independent and then leave them to starve as they have been starving for the last year. And, since Sagasta has failed to realize the President’s hope that Spain would offer some honorable way of taking the Maine question out of the situation, there was no way of meeting it except by allowing Congress to take it up with the Cuban question. All the evidence points directly to Spanish treachery in that disaster. Congress so views it.
ZOLA ESCAPES PRISON.
Court of Appeals Holds He Shall Not Be Punished. The French Court of Appeals, in the case of the appeal of M. Emile Zola against the judgment of the Paris assizes court, condemning him to twelve months’ imprisonment and to pay a fine of 3,000 francs, decided to sustain the finding of the lower court, but also 'decided that M. Zola shall not undergo any punishment. In other words, the verdict and sentence are affirmed, but they are not to be put into effect. . . It was at first reported that the Court of Appeals had quashed the verdict and remitted the case for retrial to the Versailles assizes, but this proved to be untrue. The general interpretation of the action of the Court of Appeals is taken to mean an application of the Berenger law remitting sentences imposed upon first offenders in certain circumstances.

IIL A resident of this town who has lost two children during the past six years by violent deaths has been utterly prostrated by the shock, and seriously sick as a result of it. One child (aged 9) was killed by a cyclone in *9O while at school; another, three years later, was run over by a Burlington R. R. train. That griefs and misfortnnes moy so prey on the mind as to lead to serious physical disorders has been well demonstrated in this case. As a result of them, her health was shattered and she has been a constant sufferer since 1890. Her principal trouble has

been neuralgia of the stomach, which was very painful, and exhibited all the symptoms of ordinary neuralgia, nervousness and indigestion. Physicians did her no good whatever. She was discouraged and abandoned all hope of getting well. Finally, however, a certain well-known pHI was recommended (Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pal# People). She supplied herself with a quantity of them, and had not taken them two weeks when she noticed a marked improvement in her condition. She continued taking the pills until seven or eight boxes had been consumed and she considered herself entirely cured. She can now eat all kinds of food, which is something she has not been able to do for years, and is not troubled in the least with nervousness. If any one would like to hear more of the details of her suffering and relief gained by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People they may be obtained probably, by writing the lady direct. She is one of our well-known residents, Mrs. Ellen A. Oderkirk. Paw Paw, 111.
Something About Sleep.
It has been said that when we feel a constant need of sleep, the decay of the mental faculties has set in, and that when we are growing old we may know we are ail right and our powers unimpaired as long as we have the ability to stay awake. It is also declared from the same source that the higher the Intellectual rank, the less sleep a man re-* quires, giving as example Goethe and Humboldt, who got along with only two or three hours of sleep a day. Gases where the health continues with so little sleep are very rare, for it Is a w T ell-known fact that every healthy jdult requires an average of eight hours of sleep out of twenty-four. Of all natural things, sleep is considered the best contributor to a refreshing of the body, to cheerfulness of ltiffed, to nobleness of character and kindliness of spirit, bleep Is so needful, that if any deny themselves of it for any reason, it will finally overtake them In spite of themselves. All nature needs rest, and the human family is no exception, but their rest must be an unconscious state, which we call sleep, no other will suffice. —Weekly Bouquet.

report on Western Canada to their friends in Michigan, and as a result of which hundreds of people expect to leave this spring for the Free Grant Lands of Western Canada. Ludington, Mich., Nov. 1, 1897. M. V. Mclnnes, Esq., Colonization ’Agent, Detroit, Mich.: Dear Sir—We have just returned from the West, and were exceedingly well pleased with the country. We are going back to take up our homesteads In early spring. We received $35 per month and board, working for farmers, and the board was the best we ever had —the beef and mutton especially were excellent. The fine flavor Is owing to the fine grasses which the cattle and sheep feed upon. The people are very hospitable, and treat their hired help with much kindness. The grain Is much heavier than here, wheat being 62 lbs to the bushel, oats 48 lbs, and barley often 55 lbs. Any man with a good team and money enough to buy provisions and seed for six months can become rich there in five years. Many people who arrived there five years ago with little or nothing are well off now. One man I met held his wheat from last year and was offered $16,000 for this year's crop and what he had held over from last year, and fs holding It at SI.OO per bushel. We are going back in the spring to work for this same farmer until seeding, after which we will homestead between seeding and harvest. We think we will settle on the Manitoba and. Northwestern Railroad. You can refer any one to us for this part of the country, while we are here, and we will cheerfully answer any questions which anyone may wish to ask. Yours truly, (Signed) CHAS. HAWLEY, JOSEPH DOLA.
Alameda, N. W. T„ Aug. 31, 1897. Dear Friends of Saginaw: Those tie■fcifing to secure a good and sure home will oiTiyeh to take our advice aud examine‘lhffvland In the neighborhood of Alameda, 96 we know that everyone who sees will be agreeably surprised. this land we were partly in to moving here, but after looking it ovetsjweat once decided to make our home and w e beg those of our friends who a?i*s^ eßir ' ous of securing farms not to let''^ 8 chance slip by, as the soil is of the betTfand the water cannot be excelled. The finest wheat we ever saw is also raised here. We shall return home In haste, straighten out our affairs and move here at once. Yours truly, (Signed) WILLIAM GOTTOWSKI. ALBERT MAI. WILLIAM RIEDEL. Of Saginaw. Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 10, 1897. Mr. M. V. Mclnnes, Chief Colonization Agent, Detroit, Mich.: Dear Sir—We are pleased to state to you that we have found the country in the vicinity of Alameda fully up to what you and Mr. Keller had represented it to be. It IsUn fact, an ideal location for mixed farming. The soil is the best we ever saw, and as the farmers were all busy at threshing, we had an excellent chance to see its productive quality, which cannot be surpassed anywhere. . The cattle could not be in better condition. We saw- two-year-old steers equal to three-year-old raised in most places, and these, as all others are about Alameda, were fed on native hay in winter and herded in summer. As we had previous to this visited the Northwestern States in behalf of a large number of farmers, to locate suitable land for mixed farming, we are now in a position to say that the Alameda district of Western Canada surpasses them all. The country is equal to that about Thuringen In Germany. We were rather sceptic before starting, and our intentions to settle In spring, if we were suited, but we have now decided to move at once; that early this fall as we possibly can. We left Mr. Riedel at Alameda, and take back his report, and we will take his family and effects with us when we go. Yours Bincerely, (Signed) ALBERT MAI. FRED GOTTOWSKI.
A Boy Choir.
There is not one female voice in the choir at St. Peter’s, in Rome, and yet the most difficult oratories and sacred music written are rendered in such a manner as to make one think that Adelina Patti’s high soprano is leading. The choir is composed of sixty boys. The Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pa., have recently delivered to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company the last of the large order of locomotives placed last fall. This delivery included twenty heavy engines which are now being broken in for service between Cumberland and Baltimore. These locomotives are of the same style that the motive power department adopted as the standard for the first and second divisions. They are of the consolidated type with 21x26 inch cylinders, and the average load that they pull approximates 1,800 tons.
