The island of Cuba has about the same area as the State of Pennsylvania From east to west it is probably twice the length of Pennsylvania, but its average width is much less, not more than 80 miles. It is a common saying there is no space on earth the equal in size to Cuba that can begin to compare with her in the production of those things that are useful to man. Antonio Morales, a noted authority, has prepared a table showing the variety and quantities of the staples that can be raised on a tract of thirty-three acres in Cuba. A farm of that size in one year produces thousands of pounds of sugar, coffee, tobacco, cocoa, (chocolate), cotton, indigo, corn, rice, sage, bananas and yucca. The choicest lands in California—noted for the variety and quan- tity of their products—cannot approach the soil of Cuba in this respect. Pennsylvania supports a population of between five and six millions and is in- creasing rapidly. Cuba with good gov- ernment, it is believed, could support in plenty a population of 10,000,000. Her natural resources are infinite in variety. Of her area only 10 per cent is under culti- vation. The land not reclaimed from a state of nature is 7 per cent of the whole. The commerce of Cuba before the war indicates the possibilities of the island un- der free and orderly government. In 1893 Cuba exported 718,204 tons of sugar and produced 815,894 tons. Its exports of molasses to the United States alone in that year were 7,654 hogsheads. Of rum the exports were 9,308 pipes. In 1893 the Cuban exports of leaf tobacco were 227,865 bales. Of manufactured cigars 147,365,000 were exported and of cigarets 39,581,493 packages. These are only the main ex- ports. They show what may be done with and when its people were in a eondition of virtual slavery under Spanish rule. The mineral resources of Cuba are of great variety. American capital and en- terprise was being attracted to their devel- opment before the present revolt broke out. It is singular that Cuba has great «claims as a pastoral country. Her pastures are broad and rich, and a century ago raised more cattle and horses. The island, with these natural pastures, was just beginning to raise fine Durham and Devonshire stock when the ten year war desolated the coun- try and put a stop to the industry. The millions of acres of free land in Cuba are ready for the agriculturist, the cattle, sheep and hog raiser, the cotton and fruit grower, the miner and the redmeing plant, and even for the silk grower and manufacturer. Once independent, immigrants will be attracted to Cuba in great, numbers. Amer- ican capital, labor and enterprise will go there, and in time beeeme an influential factor in progress and orderly government. Havana will become the second port on the Atlantic side of the Western hemisphere. — Pittsburg Post. Gary’s Resigmation. Change in the President's Gebinet.—Poor Health is the Reason—But Washington Believes It to Have Been An Open Split. One of the sensational events in Wash- ington last Thursday was the announce- ment that Postmaster General James A. Gary had tendered his wesignation and Charles Emary Smith had heen appointed to succeed him. The conclusion was at emee jumped at that the postmaster general quitted the «cabinet because of his known disapproval «of the course this government was taking with Spain. But Mr. Gary himself, in ©onversation and in the letter to the President in which lhe tendered his resignation, declared em- phatically that the sole reasom for his act was the poor state of hishealth. This dec- laration of Mr. Gary does not, however, carry conviction in Washington. The be- lief is strong and general that he.quit the cabinet partly as a result of his disapproval of the course of the administration and of Congress in dealing with the Cuban ques- tion, and partly for business reasons. Mz. Gary is said to be the largest manu- facturer in the United States @f the white ducking from which tents are made, and it is altogether likely this faet had more or less to do with his re- tirement from the cabinet. His mills will uo doubt, receive heavy contracts from the government for ducking for army tents, and he could not remain in the cabinet while the firm with which he is eonneeted was taking these contracts. It is said to be a fact that the government in the emer- obliged to get supplies of tent ducking from his mills in Baltimore. So that it may he true that Mr. Gary would have felt compelled to retire from the cabinet, even if he did not oppose the government’s course in dealing with Spain. The selection of Charles Emory Smith as Gary’s successor brought up the question of the probable attitude of Senators Quay and Penrose to the nomination. Mr. Smith’s paper The Philadelphia Press has been vigorously opposed to the Quay ma- chine for years, but evidently Quay decid- ed he could not afford to fight it out just at this time for when the President sent for him, explained his purpose and asked him if he wished to say anything on the matter. The senator’s only reply is said to have been ‘‘No.”” This settled the matter and Smith’s name was sent to Senate where it was promptly confirmed. The new Postmaster General was born in Mansfield, Conn. in 1842. Was educated in the public schools in Albany and began his journalistic work on the Albany FEurpress. In 1880 he he- came editor in chief of the Philadelphia Press and in 1890 was appointed minister te Russia by President Harrison. Both Legs Cut Off. John H. Sones, a veteran of the war of the rebellion, met with a fatal accident a few days ago while working in a saw mill. The unfortunate man was a filer and work- ed in the Stackhouse saw mill on Rock Run, near Eaglesmere. He was filing one of the big saws, when the machinery start- ed, and he was thrown into the saw and one of his legs sawed off close to the body. His cries brought help, and he was carried away from the file. He died before a doe. tor arrived. The Tobacco Market. It is estimated that about 600 cases of last year’s crop of tobacco in Clinton coun- ty, have been sold, leaving in the hands of the growers about 3,400 cases. The to- bacco that has heen sold brought good prices. A few lots are reported to have 8. H.

An Allegheny Physician Sums Uy the Results of War.—A Prctical View of the Outcome of the Struggle. Dr. T. L. Hazzard, of Allegheny, is pa- triotic, but not warlike. He is not a peace- at-any-price man, by any means, but thinks that if by any possible means the war can be averted with credit to both countries, such an end should be reached. Aside from the loss of life and other miser- ies attendant upon a great international struggle he goes farther into the future and talks of the millions of dollars which the war is going to cost the country in the way of pensions. “I wonder,” said he, ‘‘if the average citizen stops to think of how many wound- ed soldiers are going to come back from the war to say nothing of thousands of boys who will find graves in far away lands. The civil war debt has never been paid, and never will be while a soldier of that conquest or any other of his family remain living. But while that war sent home thousands of maimed, for whom the country is justly furnishing aid, it will be simply nothing in comparison to the one now pending if the struggle is prolonged. “When a man was wounded in the war of the 60s the corps of physicians did all in their power to save him, but the primitive condition of surgery of that time in com- parison with the present resulted in the loss of many a brave life. But take the present. Since the civil war no profession has advanced to a greater degree than that of surgery. Operations are now performed and lives saved which, had they been ef- fected years ago, would have been consid- ered little less than marvelous. ‘And so I do not hesitate to say that out of every 100 soldiers wounded in bhattle and turned over to a competent staff of surgeons, the lives of 75 will-be saved. This, of course, is right, and the Nation will rejoice that such is the case, but what will be the result? At the elose of the war the country will he filled with cripples who in time will have to be provided for by the Government. The natural conse- quences follow. The hateful revenue stamp will bob up at every point, for these necessary expenses of the Government will have to be met. I don’t believe in war. I think it should be avoided if possible. I don’t believe in backing down with dis- credit, but if the battle &s prolonged—and I would not be at all surprised if they were beyond the expectations of many—there will bethousands of brave American boys lose their lives and limbs, and that is go- ing to make many sad homes in America. ‘Wie are not fighting with a primitive nation. The Spaniards have been fighting sinee America was discovered and before. We are fighting men whose fathers were responsible for the discovery of our country and who will not stop fighting until their flag and honor have been trailed in the dust, a-sequel which, of course, I believe will ultimately come.” A Close Relatdionship. The relationship whieh the baking pow- ders bear towards our health is coming to be appreciated. There is no doubt that the indigestion and dyspepsia of which many Americans complain are caused by the indiscriminate use ¢f alum baking powders. These bak- ing powders, from their lower price, from the persistency with which they are adver- tised as pure cream of tartar powders, or from tempting schemes with which they are offered, are being purchased by many housekeepers. That alum baking powders are unwholesome is a fact .as well establish- ed as that arsenic is a poison. There must accordingly be the greatest care exercised by the house wife to keep them from her food. A chemical analysis only will ex- pose their true character. Even the price at which they are sold is wot always a mark te identify them. There ie certain safety im the use of the well-known brand, Royal Baking Powder. The Royal is not only certitiod by the Gov- ernment Chemists free from alum and from all adulteration, hut every housewife feels a confidence when using it which she cannot have with any other powder. It is made from chemically pure eream of tar- tar, and is actually an anti-dyspetie, pro- moting digestion and adding te the shole- someness of the food. Baptists to Gather. Harrisburg has been selected as the place to hold a big State gathering and next Oe- tober the representatives of 103,000 Baptists meet in that city to celebrate their seventy- first anniversary of the State organization. The session will begin on October 17th, and every county in the Commonwealth will be represented by delegates chosen from the Ministerial Union, Baptist Edu- cational Society, Baptist Young People’s Union of Pennsylvania and Woman’s Mis- sion Workers. There will be three sessions a day during the week and addresses will be made by ministers and men prominent in the educational work conducted through- ous the State hy Baptists. 7 Where Uncertainty Were Better. ‘Your husband is certain to die before morning.”’ ‘‘Oh, doctor!

The Great Singer's Vocal Tribute Over the Coffin of a Poor Child. ““Myra, this is perfect rest !’”’ exclaimed Parepa. ‘““We shall be quite alone for four hours.” “Yes, four long hours. There will be no rehearsals ; nobody else knows where you are.”’ 3 Parepa laughed merrily at the idea, and well she might, says Success. At 11 that day she had sung at one of our New York: churches, and I had insisted upon her go- ing home with me. We were friends in Italy, and so she readily consented. But by noon the sky was overcast with gray. Down came the snow, whitening streets and roofs. The wind swept icy breaths from the water as it came up from the bay and rushed past the city spires and over tall buildings, whirling around us the snow in wild gusts. We hurried home, and sat close to the fire for an afternoon’s enjoyment. There was a sherp rap at the door, and a note was thrust in. It read :— My Dear Friend—Can you come? Annie has gone. She said you would be sure to come to her funeral. She spoke of you to the last. She will be buried at 4. ‘Oh, dear ! I must go,” said I, “but You sit by the fire and rest. I’ll be home in two hours. And so poor Annie has gone !’ ‘‘Tell me about it, Myra,’’ said Parepa, ‘‘for I am going with you ;’ and, after I had told the story, she threw on her heavy cloak, wound her long white woolen scarf about her throat, drew on her gloves, and we set out together in the wild Easter storm. The driving wind made us late, and we found the hard-working friends sitting stiffly against the walls. A minister came, brought as a mere mat- ter of formality by the undertaker. Icier than the pitiless storm without, colder than the grave, were his words. He read a few verses from the Bible, warned the bereaved mother ‘‘against rebellion at the divine decrees,” made a brief prayer and was gone. The undertaker leoked at the great singer and me as if to say, ‘‘It’s time to go.” Without a word Parepa rose and walked to the head of the coffin. She laid her white scarf on an empty chair, threw her cloak back from her shoulders, where it fell in long, soft black lines from her no- ble figure, like the drapery of mourning. She laid her soft, fair hand on the cold forehead, passing it tenderly over the wasted, delicate face, looked down at the dead girl a moment, removed some Easter lilies T had bought from the stained box to the thin fingers, and with illumined eyes sang the glorious melody : “Angels, ever bright and fair, Take, oh, take her to thy care.” Her voice rose and fell in its richness and power and beauty and pity. She looked above the dingy room and the tired faces of men and women, the hard hands and the struggling hearts. She threw back her head and sang till the choirs of | Paradise must have paused to listen to the | Easter music of that day. She passed her hands caressingly over the girl’s soft, dark hair, and sang on—and on :— “Take, oh, take her tothy care.” The mother’s face grew rapt and white. Suddenly she threw my hand off and knelt at Pawepa’s feet close to the wooden trestles. She locked her fingers together, tears and sobs breaking forth. She prayed aloud that God would bless the angel singing for Annie. Iled her back to her seat as the last grand notes of Parepa’s voice rose tri- umphant over an earthly pain and sorrow. I thought that no queen ever went to her grave with greater ceremony than this young daughter of poverty aud toil, com- mitted to thie care of the angels. That night thousands listened to Parepa’s matchless voice. Applause rose to the skies, and her own face was gloriously swept with emotion. TI joined in the en- thusiasin ; but above the glitter and shim- mering of jewels and dress, and the heavy odors of Easter flowers, the sea of smiling faces, and the murmur of voices ahove the sleet on the roof and the roar of the storm outside, I could hear Parepa’s voice sing- ing up to heaven : ‘‘Take, oh, take her to thy care!” Reduced Rates te Washington and Bal- timore.

For five months of the year the Siberian man of fashion lives in the open air, either at the mining camp or in the hunting field. He is an early bird under all circumstances, and invariably rises between 7 and 8 o'clock, although he may have had but a couple of hours’ rest. Nearly every meal is succeeded by a nap. ' However, dressing operations do not take very long, for when he retires the Siberian only divests himself of his coat and boots. Shirts are unknown in Si- beria, and in many houses beds, also. The samovar is set on the dining-room table at 8 a. m., together with eggs, black and white bread, sardines, jam and cakes, ete. Breakfast is eaten, and washed down by five or six glasses of tea stirred up with sugar, cream and sometimes jam. At 1 o’clock dinner is served, and at 5in the afternoon another small meal, much like that of the morning, is taken. A meat supper follows at 9 o’clock. FREE PILLS.—Send your address to H. E.
