A Good Time to Keep Cool. The time When it is most important Eur sensible 4' people to keep cool, is when the other kind of people aI-e'ex- cited, says then-Hartford Post. Just now there is an attempt to work up ' public sentiment on the Cuban ques- tion, or at least to create a widespread impresSiOn .that the relations between Spain and the United States are at a critical pass. As if merely in response to this popular agitation, which they have industriously helped to start, the .iingoes‘in congress and elsewhere will make a sharp mqv‘e upon the executive. It \\' ill probably take-the form of a reso- l’iz‘ ion calling for information as to where our ships are placed, how 'many of each class are in particular waters, what laud force we could mobilize at quick notice-anything, in short, which willvlend a glow of red fire to the thea- trical spectacle in the foreground. Let the people rest satisfied that all thislneans nothing more than appears on its face. The ships of the American navy are already disposed so as to do the most elfective’ service if necessary. They are ready for anything that may ,happen, whether it comes after a fort- night-’s warning or with the suddenness of a clap of thunder in the night. The American fleet in southern waters is larger to-day than it has been at any time for years; but it is merely a wise precaution against all possible contin-~ gencies, and it does not mean that the ., President or the secretary; of the navy‘ is at all. “rattled” by the clamor going onabout his ears. I . If the level~headcd citizen, wherever he may be, will keep his eyes fixed on General Lee and the President, and not get excited till they do, all will be well. Han nis Taylor can then go about the country breathing fire and smoke, and repeating the conversations of Madrid dinner tables; the Cuban J unta can earn its living by the isSue of a fresh manifesto once a week; and the drunken enemies of autonomy can cre- ' ate a disturbance daily, without bring- ing us a wit nearer actual warfare. The executive branch of the govern- mentis in safe hands. If war comes, We are ready for it; but its horrors will not be invited as long as every Ameri- can citizen’s rights can be maintained and the nation’s honor and dignity held at their highest mark without it. I‘here has been a little riot at Havana, but it has blown lover. Consul-General Lee is athorough soldier, and knOws just how much meaning to attach to every occurrence of this ‘kind. He is in constant touch with his superior of- } .ficers in Washington, and wOuld warn them in an instant. if there were a call for action on their part. But he has no fear of trouble; and his despatches, during the very period when the war' seeking element here was making the meet commotion, were so pacific in tone that fOr 24 heurs the word Cuba was .prob'ablynot mentioned inside the ad- - ministration circle. > —————<o.o>'—-— , FEMININE CHAT. HOW; many women read newspaper editorials? The flufliest sort of chiffons will be employed in the spring wraps. ' Fathers who get daughters off their .hands' often have to keep the young husbands on their feet. When a woman begins to tire of a man’s devotiOn, she may as well confess she has ceased to care for him. The Sunday afternoon nap appears to be quite as much'a part of' the day as church or a specially good dinner. . Some women appear to think that the legality, of their marriage is empha- sized by the width of the wedding ring they wear. .. . Progressive cuchre “has achieved such prominence in the social world that now it is saidthat in many houses there are prize roams .fitted up merely for the accommodation of trophies won at; this popular game. _ . ' Though. it may be trying to have a man go'shopping with you, it must be admitted that if he is the one who pays the bills, he is almost certain to buy‘ more expensive things than you would purchase by yourself. . , ‘ To'understa‘qd the meaning of the . . her—that is, of- course, if there is any sporting blond in her at all. ' ' Why is it assoon as a woman loses the girlishioutlines of her figure, she seems possessed to wear baby waists - and light cloth. jackets? Many an'individual‘weeps over the woes of a stage heroine who can pass 'without a qualm-the maimed and desti- tute beggar at the street crossing. The absolute and perfect friendship between two women in the same social set or the same line of work is rare enough to deserve comment when it is seen. ' _ Hotel proprietors declare that they would rather cater to a dozen men than to one woman. This is a very natural speech, and we of the feminine gender need not get offended over it when we consider'that twelve persons are much better ableto line the landlord’s pock- ets than one. ‘ Some Conductors ought to receive lessons in politeness concerning their mannner towards visiting strangers who ask them questions, which many times are answered in such a fashionthat the unhappy investigator feels that he or she would rather be lost than sub— jected to further ilnpertinence. ' VA '7‘ DEATH ON THE BAIL. Peter Peterson, :1 Swedish Sailor, Struck ' by a Train. ‘ A man whose name is thought to have been Peter Peterson was struck about 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon at New Haven by a passenger train on the Con- sOlidated road. ’ He was fatally injured and was taken to the New Haven hos- pital, where he died at 7 o’clock. At the hospital it was found that the man had received a severe fracture of the skull, that his nose had been brok- en, and that his upper lip had been- badly cut. On the person of the de- 'ceased was found.a paper which stated that Peter Peterson, a sailor, twenty- eight years of age, had been discharged from the British steamer Artadia on May 23d last. About $7 in money was also found in a pocket. ‘ r V PRAISE FOR THE ASS. ‘\Tirtues.uf the Humble Moke Hhve Been ' Sadly Overlooked. To be called an ass :is a great com- pliment. Humility, patience, charity and industry have. been recognized as great pvirtues ,ever since mankind has been introspective; but the world has failed to notice that theyass, which is the brunt of the jests of all nations, possesses these qualities more fully than any'other animal or any human -mi11i0n. of the world, always melancholy'and slow, nobly doing his work, whether in the Andes, the Himalayas, the Rock- Orient. Wherever he is, his dominant characteristics are the same. Wherev- er he is, he is generally abused; per- haps because he puts up with‘a‘buse so meekly. " ‘ Always be isixthe friend of the poor. . In countries wherehorscs' Cannot be afforded he is the sole means or trans- port. All day long he will go over" a hot plain or up a rocky mountainside, loaded down with more than any horse could bear, though ,his' weight is only half that of the average horse, while if a horse were limited to the food he subsists On the horse’would fall down in its tracks and die, th‘ough‘it had no load. With the'load it‘would fall down anyway. That the ass can be cured of his only two vices of braying and kicking is proved by the superior conduct of the London make, who is about a third cousin'of the" Oriental ass of myth, of fable and Biblical story. The moke, who is about the size of a big New- foundland dog, draws the barrels of the costermongers who vend fruits and vegetables from' door to door in all parts of the city. ' - There is no finer playfellow for chil- dren‘ than a make. When his fuzzy fur is washed it is soft, fluffy and pretty. A‘youngsterlmay crawl all over him and under him, and pound and pull him in every part of his anatomy, and he will only Smileothemontented smile of the moke who is living in the moke heaven of currycombs and good ra— tions. That the ass is not stupid is proved by his equal cleverness with the horse in learning tricks, by his picking his. way .where a horse cannot go, by his calmness under conditions that make a horse puncontrollably fretful. *‘But he I seems homely.“ and out of proportion, unless you look at. him closely; and the world too’ ofteh goes by appearances. Scrutinize sharply the patient face of the ass, and you will find those quali- ties which make a. face educational and perhaps even beautiful.—New Orleans Picayune.

Booksellers Are Still Overstocked’wltlr Copies of the Newest. Bible. ’ Thosepwho remember. the enormous sales which» attended the introduction or the revised version of the. holy scriptures will be not a little surprised at the general c’ollapse which has grad- ually made this‘publication'a drug in the market. Over sixteen years ago the first edition of the revised New Testament was published at the 0x- ford Press; and at that time so stren- uous were the efforts made to obtain advance sheets of it,‘that one, house alone’offered £5,000 for a single copy without success. When the revised version of the entire Bible was pub- lished, four years later, the run on the Oxford University Press warehouse was unprecedented, upward of 1,000,- 000 copies being issued between one midnight and the next midday. At the New York branch of the Gifford Press, in Bleecher street, the ofiice was be-‘ sieged the night before publication, and special detectives were placed around the building to prevent over- ea'ger purchasers from obtaining cop- ies, even by depositing their money. It is estimated that 1,000,000 copies » were sold in this country during the HOW. TO FIND. OUT. Fill' a bottle or common glass .with urine and let it . stand _ twenty—four hours; a. sediment or. settling indicates an "unhealthy condition of the kidneys When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. ' p WHAT To To. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, "liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects‘following use of liquor, wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin- ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon (realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.

Such a sale has never before been known, and several American firms, including Harper Bros, D. Apleton & 00., Dodd, Mead & 00., and Porter & Coates of Philadelphia, issued Ameri- can editions in large quantities to meet the demand. “ The collapse was experienced less than two months after the first ap- pearance of the new version. The to- tal loss to the American firms interest- ed has been variously estimated to be between $500,000 [and $600,000. From that date until now the sales have been extremely small, less than eight copies being sold to 100 of the King James version. As a text book it is considered al- most invaluable, and is used extensive- ly by clergymen of all denominations and in many Sunday schools.
