If we were reaching alter territory to in-rrea-ic our wealth and strength, he thought Cuha should In; the place for us to secure, iir-t. "In its relation to health" sa'nl Mr. Iilainc, "Cuoa i.s the natural home of pestilential diseases, ut-pcciully fever. Under tin? direction of our emi nent sanitarians I have not the slightest doiiht that the exi.-lin cause of this dreaded disease could he exterminated from every part of the territory of Culm. In point of economy it would he cheaper for the United States to luy the islaud from Spain at almost any cost rather than it should he a constant menace to the health and prosperity of the southern states. The cost, directly and indirectly, to the hus'u ess of the country during the la-t yellow fever was greater than tii j yalue of Cuha, even if you put it on a nu ie money hasis. Hut when you consider the peril to life which the fever constantly brings, its purchase would not he dear at any prh c. The next ohjtct which makes it valuable is its relation to the United States as a strategic point. It practically controls the Gulf of Mexico. It actually commands positions which we oUi;ht, in the natural order of things, to posess and control. In regard to its contributing to our wealth, Cuba in the Irmda of Yankee people and by that I mean the thrifty, energetic, inventive American race would add immensely to our prosperity. Under the control of skilled labor its productive resources wolfl be increased a hundred fold." Tho Mormons Knocked Out. Oodkx, Utah, Feb. 1:5.

They Jostroy the grass and literally starve the slu-ep oil the plains. This forces the fanners to devise ineans for killing them off. and a "drive" is the one generally employed. A yard with a high fence is built on the plain, and two fences run from it for a long distance, coming to gether like the letter V, ami all the nien,, boys and blacks in the neighborhood ai p mounted on horseback and scour tho country for miles around. They drive the kangaroos into the jaws of tho V, and thence into the yard, where the blacks enter with clubs and begin the work of slaughter. Mr. Knox descri'oea a little "drive" his party had on their own account: There were ten or twelve kangaroos feeding quietly, and we were within a few hun dred yards of the;i( bfofti they were, aware of it. At the first alarm they rose on their hind legs and took a look all around, and a second later they were away. How the' did jump! They seemed to go thirty or forty feet at a time, but our host said it was little more than fifteen feet We let Ioti.se the dogs, w hich up to this time had been kpt yy hind us. and thoy wen aay" without any urging Tiie dogs are kept for ihis purpose, jiist as fox hounds are kept in, LInglaud and France, or deer '.iicoija tn Scotland..

We fpiiowed. the togs as closely as we could, but did not come up to thein until the kangaroo was at bay in a xkj1 where the water just left his fore legs clear as he stood upright. The dogs swam around him or stood on the shore of the pool when we came up.

The Sun is asked "whether it Is con sidered good form to take a young lady 'o supper after a performance at tho theatre." Authorities differ. If you think the young lady is hungry, however, you might bo justified in doing so, even though you should limit your own lunch eons for a week afterward to make good the expense incurred. Secondarily, it depends upon the girl. Plump girls are not apt to order and cat as vorac iously as thin girls. This is no cording to Max Muller and Professor Huxley. A judicious outlay for bon bons early, in the evening, however, will often check the feminine tendency to ward terrapin after the play. Moreover, you should bo guided in somo degree by details of time and place. If you havo ljeen at the German ojn-ra, the difference of an hour or two in getting homo will not weigh with tho home authorities. But, seriously, if yon have oon at the theatre until say 11 p. ui. , it there is a married lady in the party, it is well enough to ask tho crowd to eat, as they say in Ix-adviilo. But if you are escorting a young lady without a chaperon it Is in better taste to say nothing about supper, since there is a distinct prejudice ngainst young ladies going into restaurants at that hour except in a party whereat least ono married lady is apt to bo found. This idea is sensible and good and most peoplo 6eo its fitness. Whcjo young people are very old friends they may feel like taking a little latitude in such matters. There can be no possible harm in the act, but as it is liable to provoke unkindly comment, tho young gentleman should consider that any special comment by strangers upon a lady is in itself most undesirable in every way, and he should reflect that other people have no means of knowing that he and his companion are more to each other than mere acquaintances in society New York Sun. The Gimlet Man. "I should like to sell you a gimlet,' said a careworn looking man, as ho walked into the office tho other day. "We havo no use for one," replied the cashier. 'But you cliouid always look into the misty future," went on the fiend, de murely. "Next winter you will want to make holes in your boot heels so you can get your 6kates on." "I use club skates no straps re quired." " You may want to screw some loards together some time. Tho old fashioned method of driving screws in with a ham mer ts pernicious, as it deteriorates the tenacity of tho fangs of the screws, as it were." "Nothing today, sir." "The gimlet also acts as a cork screw" "I don't want it." "It has an eraser, a pen, an inksiand, a table for computing compound interest and a lunch box attachment." "1 can't help it; I aon't want it.' "I know 3"ou don't.
