Unless the Cuban Insurrection comes to a speedy end we will bo obliged to keep on Importing Havana cigars from Wisconsin.

In the Hoston library there are al coves tilled with wooden blocks, shaped like books, with a strip of Imitation Russia leather labeled, "Nothing with in." As new works are purchased the tbants are displaced, and the genuine ones fill the space. Are there not many mich members of our churches, mas querading piety, "having the form ot C.odlltiess without the power?" The Kcbolar turns away from the, block books, while "living i-pUttus" are "known and read of all men."

J!y so do ing bis voice would bo tempered, his presumption reduced, his swagger mod ified, and ills rhetoric improved. Hvery kaiser ought to keep a Fqusd of crit ics in his pay. While we accord to the adventurous Arctic explorer our meed of admiration for his Indomitable courage and pcrxlst ii.cy, the question will obtrude, itself whether the game Is worth the candle. The curiot.lt)' of the general public as to the Arctic regions 4ias been to a certain extent gratified: the children ot the land have had large additions to their teck of Elories of adventure; the niu Vums have been enriched, and the Dryasdusts have been furnished with tubjeets for contemplation and study Hut that there has been through all the years of Arctic exploration, from Franklin to I'cary, any results achieved which ere at all commensurate with the expenditure of energy, of money, and above u!l, ot purious lives, remains to be proven. The one really v...iablc fact that does heeru to have been es tablished is that Arctic exploration if net worth while. There Is a strong reason to believe that tlm Chinese government regrets Its concessions to France and the ob ligations it has incurred with tttissla, nd there i3 no telling what may turn ip.

RASPBERRY'S RUSE. 0 see my friends mourn for me after 1 am dead would be the most charm ing emotion I could experience," Mr. Haspb e r r y used often to say this to his valet.and ni v v the valet always J answered: ' ' 1 "La, sir, yon couldn't do It, sir, you know; because after folks is expired why, they air removed from this here wale of tears, sir, I think begging pardon, sirthat it would bo an uu happiness." "No. no, Perkins," said Mr. Raspber ry; "no, no, you don't understand these finer feelings." To which the valet always replied: "No, sir probably not, sir." This was before Mr. Raspberry's wed ding, and for n year after thia cere mony Perkins had heard nothing of the formerly often exprofued wish.. .Hut one winter morning, as Mr. Rasp berry read the account of a dreadful railroad accident, he said again, as though ho had never left off; "How dtllghtfui It would be to see one's friends mourn for one!" This time Perkins answered: "Hut missus would take on. so." "The very thing," said Mr. It. "Per kins, can you keep a secret?" , "Jnwaluate," oaid Perkins, who was prone to the uae ot words but vaguely understood'inwaluate." "Then, Perkins," said Mr. Raspberry, "I am going to meet with n railway ac cident." "Gracious!" said Perkins. "It's all arranged," said Mr. Rasp berry. "Dear me. sir, I hope not, sir," said Perkins. "I'm to be put at the head of the list of killed," silil Raspberry. "A reporter 1 know has promised to do it. On an average there's an accident once weekthe next one I'm to be in." "Peg pardon, air, won't it be susla clde?" asked Perkins. "I don't mean to be killed," paid Raspberry: "only reported i-o." "La!" said Perkins, "but poor young missus?" "The very thing," said Raspberry; "I n in much older than she is -twenty years." lie was forty-five. "And I should like to see bow she would mourn for me after 1 am gone, if it should be my fite lo go first. I shall bid her adieu as though going upon a journey, and then hide myself In these rooms of mine. When the accident occurs and she seen the paper, I'll take cae to be nt band. My nephew, Julius, will i $ fyfei BKHOLD MK AND DRKAl) MY VEN GEANCE, grieve, too. I've been Indulgent to nlm, and she will break her little heart." "Yes, sir; but. sir, won't she be an gry when she finds out it's a hoax?" as-ked Perkins. 'he sdiall nevr find it out," said Raspberry, "irver. I'M tell her it was a fah-N? report. That 1 w a.s on tfie I rain, but e-iiapei!." "Yes sir." s.iid Perkins, doubtfully, and brushed bis master's, hair in a thought ful manner.

"Perkins," cried Mr. Raspberry's nephew, J11II113, "if you have anything to tell, out with it; don't stand there alarming us. My dear uncle is not ill?" "He will be if he eats much more shad," said Perkins. "But he's well at present, but he's too mot-antic. He's at temptin' to barter up your feelings. In pint of fact. In order to see you mourn for him, he's hiding upstairs, while he's reported squashed hi this ere railroad accident. It's a dreadful one. He paid a reporter to put him in, mum, the first that happened." "Don't show me (be dreadful thing," said Mrs. Raspberry. "Oh, how could Royal be so very heartless how could he? No matter, I'll punish him, and I'll not betray you either. Tell Mr. Raspberry I have the news, and let him spy upon me when he pleases." 0 "Yes, ma'am," said Perkins. "She's got it., sir," said Perkins, ten minutes after. "It was carried in." "Ah, ha!" said Raspberry. "Now I shall see what grief my demise will cause. Julius Is there?" "Yes, sir," said Perkins. And Raspberry, in slippered feet, re paired to a peep-hole prepared before hand In a doorpanel. All was silence. "She is lying in a swoon upon the floor," thought Raspberry, with; a qualm of conscience. Hut in a moment he saw the lady smiling end beating time to an air she hummed with the folded newspaper. "She has not read 'it yet." thought Raspberry. "How delightful! I shall see the whole." He applied his eye more closely to the aperture; Just then the lady spoke. "If all wo read is truer we arc rid of him." "Yes, the old stupid!" said Mr. Julius. "I suppose he's left you everything?" "I hope so," said the lady. "I shall go Into deep mourning and a cap- the style becornos me and I shall be a dashing young widow as soon as I dare. 1 bate being mewed up here. I shall travel to the watering places and enjoy myself." "Good heaven!" moaned Mr. Rasp berry. "What do I hear?" "A'ld I will accompany you," said Julius. "Certainly," said the lady. "And you need not call me aunt any more." "Never again," said Julius; "but by a dearer nt.rne soon." "Oh, go away! Don't. It's improper so soon," said the lady. "I shall die," said Mr. Raspberry. "Oh, I shall die in earnest." Hut rage and curiosity rooted him to the spot. Julius hsd sunk on his knees befor9 Mrs. Raspberry, and taken her hand. "You will be mine?" he said. "Oh, yes, Julius," said Mrs. R.; "but for form's sake wo ought to attend to Mr. R.'s remains." "Pother!" said Julius. "Since they've smashed the old fellow let them sweep him away and finish It. What do we want of him?" Then horrible words broke the spell cast upon Mr. Raspberry; he dashed the door open, and darted forward. "You'll find me more difficult to sween away than you imagine," he cried. "Perjured woman, false and wicked Julius, behold me and dread my vengeance!" Then Mr. Raspberry shook both his fists and lifted them heavenward, at tvhlch Mrs. Raspberry liuighed more heartily. "You can laugh you." he cried. "Yes I," said Mrs. Raspberry; "and when next you get up a little farce, re member that other people may be able to do likewise. For one rehearsal Julius and I have done very well. Now, sir, beg my pardon for trying to alarm me. You ought to be ashamed of yourself." "Then yon -you knew!" gasped Mr. Raspberry. "Oh, Adelaide, tell me you knew!" "I certainly knew." said Mrs, R., "and prepared a little .-'lo-priso for you. If Instead you had Keen uie drop dead upon the floor you would have been happy, cruel man!" "l'hanl. he.iveii!" said Mr. Raspber ry, sinking into a chair. "You almost killed me, Adela'de how could you? And Julius ah. I suffered too much. Sweep me away!

Confetti (Silver, Gold and Colftrrii Onevl Substituted. Most of us who have had anything to do with weddings have had experiences of the direful effects of the showers of rice which mark the departure of the brido and groom, says the London Queen. There are few young couples who have not entered upon their hon eymoon with actual physical pain, thanks to the stone grains which have stung their eyes and ears aud have found their way into their clothes and down, their necks. Worse disasters even than this have followed the use ot rice as a sign of the good-will of their friends, and serious accidents have not infrequently occurred in consequencs of the reckless showering of these grf Ins. The horses have been scared, and this, in some cases, has led to the overthrow ing of the carriage and the severe in jury ot its occupants. Attempts have occasionally been made to mend this state of affairs, but until lately noth ing has taken tho place of rice. Rose petals and small flowers have been tried, but they have many disadvant ages, notably that of becoming crushed to pulp and leaving unsightly stains on the carpets of the house. Shreds of col ored paper have occasionally been used, but in these there is something too sug gestive of the schoolboy's "hare naO hounds" to excite much interest. At a recent fashionable double wedding a the west end considerable admlratior was caused among the guests by the dis tribution of confetti as a substitute fo the offending rice. They were such at are used at Eastbourne and the Riviera for the battle of flowers and on similar occasions. For the benefit ot such read ers as are unacquainted with coufeisj I may describe them as tiny paer wa, fers, principally gold and silver, wi'h ft few colored ones Intermixed by way of adding to the effect. The progress ot each bride down the staircase to the carriage on this particular occasion was made In a shower of gold and sil versurely' n3 good an omen for her future prosperity as cou!d possibly be afforded by the prosaic grains of rice. The effect of the myriads of sparkling confetti was absolutely charming and fairylike as they fluttered to the ground the sun catching them as they fell. Cer tainly ihey clung about the dresses cf the newly married couples, but , they did no harm, and were soon shaken off. In the house, as they fell on the floral decorations and sparkled among the roses and ferns, they produced a result that is well worthy of note by those whose business it is to provide novel ties for functions of this sort. As for the horses, they were sublimely uncon scious ot the tiny gold and silver pieces with which their backs had been sprinkled by the time they started. Mollior'n Let I or. Here is a bundle of mail from town A dozen miles away, And that is a distance dear, you know, We cannot go each day. There are letters from many friends That somehow don't forget, For all that we're away "out West," That we are living yet Ah, here is one from brother John And one from sister May; I scarce can wait to read them all- I wonder what they say. But as I look the missives o'er, There's one I do not find; It always used to come so proript- Can it be left behind? The writing on the envelope ' Old-fashioned and so small Was always first to catch our eye. And dearest of them all. 'Twas filled with tender, loving thoughts. That only mothfrs know, For children who have left the nest, Wherever they may go. But ah, the hand that used to write So faithfully to me, Is folded now on loving breast. In silent mystery. And through the years that come an po, My heart may long In vain; For letters from that mother loved, Will never come again. And yet, I know, in that fair land, Where partings are no more, Sheil wait and watch to welcome me, I'pon tho heavenly shore. Mrs. P. K. Wmid Lake, Neb. CURIOUS FACTS.

The worfebasket of the up-to-date woman of leisure is provided with aiauy costly trifles, the use of which is aot directly obvious to tho uninitiated, says the New York Tribune. This fact was recently impressed upon pie writer at the counter of a jewelry establish ment. A group of women, whose man ner and appointments indicated that they were stangers in the city, were looking at gold thimbles, and, inci dentally, at various other articles dis played by the clerk. "Look here, Mary Ellen," said the; oldest of the threo, holding up to view ft flat little square of gold with richly chased edges. "What do you reckon this is?" "It don't look like anything In par ticular to me," answered Mary Kllc-n after close scrutiny. "Well! It's a thread-winder, and it's worth $9." "Nine dollars for a thread-winder!" exclaimed Mary Kllen, aghast at the idea. "Well! I never!- I always wrap my old scrape, of thread or silk round an empty spool or a piece, of cardboard, like the scooped-out piece of wood the boys at home wind their fishing lines on. That's right convenient, though," she added, examining the pretty bauble interestedly. "Here's something else," said the third woman, balancing between her lingers a pencil-like arrangement ex (luibitely chased and having a rmooth, oval bulb at either end. "I wonder what this is for?" Aud she glanced appeallngly at the clerk. "That's a glove-darner." he ex plained, much amused at her perplex ity. "And how much does it cost?" "Eleven dollars." The trio exclaimed in horror at this revelation of extravagance and Mrs. Mary Kllen remarked sterniy that $11 would supply her with gloves for two years. All three examined the glove-darner critically, and then, pursuing their in vestigation, speculated in turn as to tho merits of the solid-gold thimble-holders, emery-holders, needle-cases and other articles that seemed curious to them. Finally, when a finger protector was1 shown. Mrs. Mary Ellen's patience became exhausted. "These Idle women ought to be proud to show a few needle pricks 011 their forefinger," she exclaimed. "I'd like to know how a little needle prick cati hurt." She did not conceal her amazement that so insignificant, everyday affair an a little round tape-meaKtiro could bo contrived to cost $7. and a small ivory rata?, equipped wtih tiny gold-handled scissors, needle-case, thimble and bod kin, the value of which was $100, nearly took away her breath. "It t-eenis outrageous to squander' so many dollars on nonsense," hc de clared, energetically, as the party left the shop. Ii Ofpwfd lo I '.I Dinner. A sermon on the new woman, deliv ered las Sunday by the Rev. Father Wilson of St. Joseph's Roman Cath olic .church, Tcrro Haute, Ind., has cre ated, no end of discussion among the members of his congregation. Father Wilson does not approve of the bicyt lo bloomer. He said it was not becoming to a young woman, according to his ideas of a woman, and in the course of his remarks further said that the wom en members of his congregation who preferred to wear the bicycle costume f.poken of would not be recognized by him on the street, and further, thoso who knew him and spoke to him would be ignored. It is understood that sav es! young women who had decided to come out in the new woniat) dress h.iv changed their minds on the ctresssth of the sermon. Exchange, Her Hefli leiiejr.
