The Preposed Annexation of Cuba.

Ever since the purchase of Florida from Spain in 18*21 the United States Government has taken much interest in the island of Cuba. Its contiguity to our coasts, and its position at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, give it an importance that has not been overlooked. In 1825, uqder President John Quincy Adams’ administration,’ some diplomatic correspondence was carried on between the Spanish authorities and Mr. Clay, our Secretary of State. Spain proposed that in return for certain commercial concessions the United States should guarantee to-her the perpetual possession of Cuba. This proposition was declined, however, as contrary to the general policy of the United States; though it was averred that shoulq the island ever be'in danger of passing into the bands of a strong maritime power, as the British or French, our Government would promptly step in to protect it. President Adams and Mr. Clay cherished the plan of buying Cuba, believing that this measure would greatly strengthen their administration at the South. But on making overtures to this effect to Spain they were totally refused. In 1848, the continued tyrannies of Spain having aroused ranch discontent on the island, the subject of purchase was again agitated. President Polk authorized the American Minister at Madrid to offer-SIOO,-000,000 for Cuba, but the proposition was rejected in the most peremptory manner. In 1849-51 several expeditions were fitted out on American soil against the Spanish Government in Cuba by General Lopez, but in the interest of neutrality the United States Government checked their operations as far as it was able to do so. In 1854 Messrs. Buchanan, Mason, and Soule, United States Ministers at London, Paris, and Madrid, respectively, held a conference at Ostend and drew up a statement which is popularly known as the Ostend manifesto. In this it is argued that Cuba ought to belong to the United States, and that Spain would <IO Wei! to sell it. ~A proposition was also urged in the United States Senate in 1858-9 to place $30,000,000 in the hands of the President with a view to the purchase of the island, but after debate this was withdrawn by its author, Mr. Slidell. The question has not s nee that time found its way into American politics, though the United States has more than once offered to meditate between the Cubans and the Spanish authorities during the frequent revolutionary outbreaks on the islands. —lnter Ocean.

The Temper of Tolerance.

Whatever else may or may not be said concerning this age of agnosticism, it seems difficult to deny that its temper in regard to the inquiry after the truth is in many respects more hopeful than was that of the good old days of our fathers. The highest view which used to be taken of the attitude of a truthseeker was that he should refrain from declaring anything to be true until it was proved. It is only in modern days that we have learned to appreciate the fact that equally the searcher after

verity has no right to declare a thing false or impossible until it is proved to be so. ’ Tn hither ease a man may sincerely believe a thing or conscientious ly disbelieve it, but without absolute proof he has not the right to declare that it is as he believes. The genuine truth-seeker holds his convictions subject to revision upon all subjects concerning which he has not found complete proof; and this has come to be so generally recognized that even in the most bitter debates it is customary to preserve at least some semblance of being open to correction and conviction. “I have lived too long and learned too much,” said one of the leading scientists of New England recently, “to assumeanything to be false because it seems to me improbable. The commonest truths of science were all utterly incredible not very long ago.” It is the shallow minds which are over-confident of the infallibility of their beliefs. Amid the ruins of creeds and the general overturn of dogmas of the present day, it is especially needful that intelligent men and women keep their minds in an attitude r espectful and responsive to-

ward whatever claims to be new truth or a new phrasing of truth old as the universe. Science and ethics, however it be with art and literature, are constantly advancing; and it is surely onp of the most hopeful signs of the times that the minds of thinking men are today so thoroughly imbued with the temper of tolerence. — Boston Courier.

Fascination of the Peanut.

“Didn’t you sell any peanuts ?” inquired th'e experienced train boy of the new recruit. “No,” was the reply. “Go through the car an’ give each passenger a peanut ” The new recruitdid so. “Now try ’em again,” said the train boy of experience. Presently the new recruit came for more peanuts. “You want to keep your eyes open in this business, young feller,” admonished the expert, refilling the basket “Anybody’ll eat a peanut what don’t cost him nothin’, an’ when he once gits the flavor he’s gone. You’ve got to study human nature. — New York Sun.

Didn’t Have So Much Unincumbered Property.

A young member of the Chicago Produce Exchange, who was courting the daughter of a citizen of Indianapolis, didn’t waste over a month’s time before asking for an interview with the father, and saying: EL, “I understand that Kate’s dowry will be $25,000.” “Yes.” “I’ll take her, but as times are preearious l should feel safer if I had a first mortgage on $50,000 worth of unincumbered real estate. Give you two days to think of it Send-the abstract of title over to me as soon as possible.” He hasn’t married Kate yet.— Wall Street News.

Sized Up.

Woman says a great deal that she ought not to say and a man leaves unsaid a great deal that ought to be said, and there is not too much truth in either of them.— Puck. - : > <-

AN OLD PREJUDICE DISAPPEARING

Women doctors are so numerous now that the prejudice against them has long since died out. There are several in the United States, it is said, who enjoy an annual income of $20,000 and over, and a practice worth $5,000 a year is common. They have reached their present honorable position by hard and conscientious work, and all they receive is well earned. Medical colleges for women are now established in all the large cities, and the graduates from them number several hundred every year. Among! the women doctors of Illinois is Miss Addie M. Barnes, of Danville, who recently moved to that city from Lafayette, Ind. She has recently had herself as a patient, and how she was successful in working a cure she tells as follows: “I had a very stubborn case of sciatica and had been confined to my bed for three weeks. I had blistered the limb and used nil kinds of liniments to no purpose. Rev. Dr. Buchtel told me of the wonderful remedy, Athlophoros. Our druggist sent for it and I bought two bottles of it. Before I had taken three doses I was able to get out of bed and sit tip for two hours. In three days I went down the street. I believe that had I persevered with the remedy the cure would have been permanent. However, I have never been such a sufferer since. I keep Athlophoros in my office and often tell patients of the great relief it gave me, and recommend it.” E. K. Mercer, proprietor of the Princeton (Ill.) Tribune, says of Athlophoros:

“It is a good medicine and did me more good than aid half a dozen doctors.” Mr. John H. Hutsel, proprietor of the West Side Pavilion, No. 678 West Indiana street, Chicago, who had been a victim of rheumatism, says: “I never had a severe case of sickness beforti this rheumatism came on me, and I would just remark right here that I never want another such. When it first made its appearance I consulted a physician, but his medicine made me ■worse. I then went to St. Joseph’s Hospital. After being there some time and getting no relief, I went back home. After being at home a few beard abou£Athlophoros_ and. decided to try it myself. I came from the hospital on the 3d of July. Two days after that I was unable to walk or sleep at night. I was .in this condition when I commenced with the Athlophoros on the 7th inst., and by the 15th or the month I was well. You can see by my book, I have an exact record of the dates of the time I commenced using and when I was well.” “How long were you sick, Mr. Hutsel?” “For five weeks I was confined to my bed, during which time T lost twenty-three pounds of flesh.” “How much did you use to effect this cure?” 3

“Two bottles did the work, and I have not felt any paiu or return of. the disease since.’ 1 “Have you known of any others that have used Athlophoros?” “Yes; the lady that recommended it to me said she knew of an old chronic case of twenty years’ standing that had been cured by the use of Athlophoros. I have had many persons that, knew how I had been afflicted and suffered inquire what cured me. lam always glad to be able to say that Athlophoros is the sovereign remedy for rheumatism.” gist, we will send it express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it of your druggist, but if he hasn’t it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us as directed. Athlophokos Co., 112.Wa11-street, New York.

Honesty.

Honesty is a rare herb. Even as a matter of policy it works well.

Simple honesty is virtue enough for any man. I consider honesty a half-brother of Christianity. Many are down on honesty and pumpkin pie, but I’m not. It will win oftener than three trays or two pair of sixes. Its tendency is more demoralizing to mep than fleas to a dog. Whether honesty wins or {not, I believe safe risk to chance it. Honesty and virtue are bom of the angels, and are as often twins as otherwise. An honest man is a king among men, either on a throne or in a political convention. I don’t believe in dishonesty, unless a man has got a pretty good thing with no risks.

In cultivating honesty an occasional hoeing won’t- in jur e its tendency toward maturity. .. i. If dishonesty isn’t a sin, then it is because it hasn’t the digpity to rise to the level of sin.

No doubt honesty was once “the best policy, ” but that theory seems to have had its day. There isn’t such a thing as being too honest, but there is such a thing as bragging about it too much. Dishonesty would seem to me to be as far as a man would go to satisfy a moderate ambition. Jud Lafagan, in Chicago Ledger

Hints About Shoes.

The first gum shoe was made in 1830. When buttoning, insert the hook upon the upper side of the button. Laced shoes should be laced tightly at the bottom to prevent wrinkling. To remove mildew from mat kid,-rub the spots with a cloth saturated with hartshorn. Don’t twist the hook in the buttonhole. Nothing wears that part of the shoe out quicker. Do not allow fine shoes to become saturated with snow-water,' as the acid in this water will eat the leather out directly, particularly if placed where it is warm to dry. White spots on rubbers can be easily remedied by them in soapsuds and giving them a thorough rubbing with a soft cloth, and then rinsing them in clean water. Don’t wear shoes too large or too wide. They won’t hold their shape. If too . short, they will break down the toes of the wearer, qj the foot will crowd back and destroy the shape and stiffening of the heel.

He Could Not Think of It.

“Oh, George, * please weigh me!” murmured a Wylie avenue girl, as she tripped into a grocery store where her steady company was employed. “Couldn’t think of it, Sue,” replied George. “Why pot?” asked Sue, in surprise. “Because I like you too well to give you a weigh.” —Pitts burg h Chronicle.

Some Truths Contrary to the Belief of Our Ancestors.

Cold air is less dangerous than foul Fresh air and exercise are the only necessary stimulants. Stimulants leave the”system Tyefalet than they find it. Time spent in out-door exercise is not wasted. Ripe fruit is a better blood purifier than sulphur and molasses. Draughts are not as fatal as unventilated rooms. Catarrh is not caused by low temperature, but by bad air and unwholesome diet. Depriving children of healthful recreat on drives them to deceit and wrong doing. Time spent in an after-dinner nap is soon made up. Sleeping rooms need not be heated in cold weather. The sick-room that is kept hermetically sealed will not soon send out a convalescent. Night air is not noxious. A cold should be starved and sent out doors, instead of stuffed and steamed and put to bed. Sunshine may fade the carpet, but the absence of it fades the people. Good digestion is better than cosmetics for a poor complexion. —School Journal. —.

To Spur a Jaded Appetite

Is one thing, to invigorate and regulate the digestive organs is another. And yet mere appetizers are constantly mistaken for and are even termed tonics. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is on-a far higher plane in the-eategory of medical preparations than the so-called tonics which impart a relish for the food. These have their use, and are estimable, provided they be pure. But the scope of the remedial operation of the Bitters is far wider. It reforms enfeebled condition of the stomach, and purifies ite juices, if Vitiated, as well as promotes their secretion in healthful abundance. The stomach having, in conjunction with the liver and the bowels, been regulated, and their natural tone restored through its agency, appetite returns, as a matter of course. Fever and ague, poverty of the blocd, and consequent debility, rheumatic ailments, and a tendency to kidney and bladder troubles, are also remedied by it.

Negro Superstitions.

If the sun shines while it is raining, it is a sign that Satan is whipping his wife.

It is a bad sign for a cat to get in a cradle. It is bad luck for a deformed cat to be born on the place, unless it is drowned at once. When a dog dreams before the fire, it is a sign that a witch is trying ti get in the house. The way to keep the witch out is ta4hrow salt in the fire. A horse-shoe nail stuck in a crack will keep witches out. If sparks fly out from the fireplace, it fa a sign that your enemies are conspiring against you. - »’ If a chunk of fire rolls out on the hearth, strangers are coming. If a twig or bush gets caught in a woman’s dress, and is dragged after her, it is a sign that she has a sweetheart. —Joel Chandler Harris, in Youth’s Companion.
