Cuba Ripe Fur Annexation.
It is less than live months since
the provisional government in Cu
ba was ended, the Uniled States
troops withdrawn and the island
handed over to an administration
chosen by her people. Already
there is muttering of renewed
trouble and tears that our Gov
ernment may agaiu have to inter
vene to prevent financial folly,
revolt and disorder. The present
effort on the part of Cuba at self
government will probably be the
last if it be a failure, as it will
convince the people of the United
States and many of those of Cuba
herself that a stronger hand than
any she possesses is needed to
maintain her peace and welfare.
Already a large elemeut there be
lieves that closer relations should
be permanently established with
the United States and this ele
inent will increaso with each
demonstration of Cuban incapaci
ty. Annexation to this Republic
seems to bo the inevitable destiny
of the island.
Trick With i String.
Tie together the ends of a piece
of string about two feet long.
Pass it thus tied through a but
tonhole of the performer's coat.
Hitch each end on to one or other
of the thumbs, catch iip with the
little fingers tho upper strings on
the thumbs of the -other hand;
then stretching out the hands
will have the effect of giving the
string a very complicated appear
ance. If tho hold of the right
thumb and left little tiuger.or vice
versa, be then loosed, and the
hands smartly separated, the
string will come away from and
seem as though it had passed
through the substance of the
coit.
Governor Walter 1!. Stuhhrt, of
Kansis has been in otlice only a
few months but he is credited
with having wrought a greater
social reform t han any others gov
ernor of the forty six states of
tho Union. He has persuaded
more than half the women of
Kansas to discard yeast and make
salt rising bread to the great
physical advantage, it is claimed,
of themselves, their husbuuds
and children.
Mr. Stubbs begau his propa
ganda for salt rising bread dur
ing his campaign for electiou,
when he was accused of making
a grand stand play to gain the
support of the women but he lias
kept it up since his inaugurati'n
aud is wiuning couverts by the
thousand.
A feature of his c usade tor
better bread is tfrnvite to dinner
at the executive mansion promi
nent men and give them salt ris
ing bread baked by his daughter,
Such great interest has been
aroused that the University of
Kansas has undertaken a sc.ien
tilic investigation of thj virtues
ol salt rising bread, which is the
kind of bread thatevery farmer's
wife in America made in the old
days before yeast cxkes were in
vented and when breweries aud
bakeries were not or were far
out of reach.
We oelieve it is a fact that the
uow frequent charge that nread
is not a good thing to eat, was
unheard of when salt rising bread
such as Governor Stubbs says
his good oldQuaker mother made,
ws the only bread eaten in
Ameiica outside of cities and
towns. '
A wise woman once said that
the surest way to judge a person
is bv tho mouth what goes in
and how and what comes out and
how. If thii is so the improve
ment of the bread a nation eats is
surely a subject not beneath the
attention of a governor. Llarris

Economy In Drcm.
There ara three dangerous
rocks in the beginning of a sei
son on which a woman who must
p:actice economy is likely to foun
dor; the tirst, cheap covtltijs; the
second, advertised bargains
which are sold cheap because dm
criminating buyers will not pay
for weanug apparel a season old;
and, third, hasty buying oTthe
very new in fabrics, color or
shape. New shades of standard
colors are especially dangerous
unless the person selecting them
is a prophet. Not very many are
and even astute tailors go slowly
in purchasing until this or that
dress or color has "made good."
Never buv a tailor suit of last
year's cut, because it is cheap,
aud because you think it can be
recut at home and brought up-to-dato.
In 19 cases out of "0 this
cannot bo done. If it were pos
sible tailors with their wurk rooms
full of people at their disposal
would tberasowes make changes
and roap the benefit. When such
garments are worked over at
home, they usually end in a home
made appearance, and, all count
ed, will cost more than a new
aeason'n gown.
