THE FIRST SWEETHEART,
A Sweet Memory in the Golden Chair of
Recollection.
Does the image of your first sweet
heart peep through the haziness of by
gone years to remind you how quickly
and how easily forgotien were the
words of that first love? You
were nothing but a boy then,
thoughtless, sunburned and full of mis
chief, but whav a sweet experience did
the flatter of your youthful heart pro
duce when you first realized that you
were the ackuowiedged chevalier of a
little girlie who blusbed whenever you
looked ber in the face, and who seemed
to think there was no other bov in town
so brave and so manly as you. Love
ber! You’d bave tried to thrash a fel
low three times your size if be’d darved
to wound her or do ought to bring tears
to those bright eyes. The first time
you planted a trembling kiss on her soft,
rosy cheek! Was there ever snch ecstatic
bliss? How she struggled and foucht
you off; how seemingly genuine were her
efforts to hide the face you so longed to
feel pressed against your own, yet how
surprisingly easy was the conquest when
she really began to fear you'd grow dis
couraged and give up the struggle. Af
ter the first, how many more? What a
fweet memory, a golden link in the ever
lasting chain of recollection. 'Perhaps
she’s been dead these many years, ome
perhaps the wife of a good man who
loves her quite as well as you did in the
days when she was your first sweetheart,
Oftep, as you watclk her now, you won
ter if she ever remembers the time when
you struggled for the first kiss long ago
Will you ever forget it?

WHEN MARIAH JANE IS MAYOR.
When Maria Jane's elected to the may
oralty chair
There’ll be manv wrongs corrected that
are now apparent there;
The} sidewalks wiil be carpeted, the
streets swept twice a day,
The alleys be as fragrant as fields of new
n own hay,
What wifh parties and receptions and
occasionally a ball,
There will be a transformation arcund
the city ball,
And each ward in the city will be repre
sented then
By lovely alderwomen and not horrid al
dermen.
When Maria Jane is mayor none but la
dies will, of course,
Be appointed members of the city police
force;
And in their bloomer uniforms they’ll
look so very sweet
The gang to be arrested will consider it
a treat.
The stores will be compelled to have a
bargain sale each day,
Apnd for ‘chewing gum and soda you'll
not be asked to pay.
Gieat reforms will be projected, all the
wrongs will be corrected
When Maria Jane's elected to the may
oralty chair!

THE CLIMATE OF CUBA. -
A Few Facts That Are of Considerable In~
terest Just Now,
Here are a few facts from the Ency
clopedia Britannica that are of consid
erable interest and value just at this
time, in view of the discussion eon
cerning the climate of Cuba, and its
probable effect upon our troops in case
of an invasion:
Situated within and near the border
of the northern tropical zone, the cli
mate of the low coastlands of Cuba is
that of the torrid zone, but the inte
rior of the the island enjoys a more
temperate atmospheree. As in other
lands on the border of the tropics, the
year is divided betwean the hot
ter and wetter season, corresponding
to the northern declination of the sun,
and .a cooler and dryer period. The
months from the beginning of May to
October are called the wet season,
‘thotgh rain falls every month in the
year. With May spring begins in the
island, rain and thunder are of almost
daily occurrence, and the temperature
rises high with daily vamation. The
period from November to April is call
‘ed the dry season by contrast. On a
mean fof seven years the rainfall at
Havanna in the wet seasen has been
observed to be 27.8 inches, of the dry
imonths 12,7 or 40.5 for the year.
At Havava in the warmest months,
those of July and August, the average
temperature is 82 degrees Farenheit,
fluctuating between a maximum of 80
And a minimum of 76 degrees: in the
colder months of December and Jann
ary the thermometer averages 72 de
grees, the maximun being 79, the min
imum 58; the mean of seven years is 77
degrees. But the interior, at eleva
tions of over 300 feet above the sea, the
thermometer occasionally falls to the
freezing point in winter, heavy frost
is nmot uncommon, and during north
winds thin ice may form, though snow
is unknown in any part of the island.
The prevailing wind is the easterly
trade breeze, but from November to
February cool north winds (los nortes,
“‘northers”) rarely lasting more than
forty-eight hours, are experienced in
the western portion of the island. to
which they add a third seasonal
change. From 10 to 12 o’clock are the
hottest hours of the day. After noon
refreshing breeze (la virazon) sets in
from the sea. Hurricanes may occur
from Augustto October, but are less
frequent than in Jamaica or Hayti,
and sometimes five or six years may
pass without such a storm. Slight
shocks of earthquakes are occasionally
felt. There are no diseases specially
ingenous to the island; the yelliow fe
ver, which breaks out with renewed vi
ruiance regularly with the wet season
in the coastlands and seaports ot Cuba,
an~ually causing great loss of lite, is
quite unknown in the interior.

The Queen a Catholic?
The old rumor is again revived that
Queen Victoria has long been a Roman
Catholic. The people who tell us such
things say that as she approaches
death her devotion to her c¢church
grows stronger, She goes to the south
of France each year to spend Easter,
and it 1s argued that she goes there
for confession, which every Catholic
must make at least once a year. The
English laws do not permit a Catholic
to occupy the throne hence the secre
cy of her practice of the rite. She is
not the first of England who has been
a Catholic in secret. The whole story
may te an ordinary fake, but it is not
at all impossible. |

Dig down to the cause of your sick
ness if you want to get well and stay
well, Moss likely it’s indigestion. The
irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid
food, left in the stomach by indigestion,
cause headache, neuralgia, nervousness,
dizziness, stomachache, nausea, irritabil
ity and all the other well known symp
toms of indigestion. :
They also cause many pains and disor
ders which are often laid to other causes
and hence are not easily cured. But as
soon as the poisons are removed all these
symptoms and disorders disappear, be
cause thera is nothing left to cause them,
Nothing sucza2eds in this like Shaker Di
gestive Cordial, because it prevents the
undigested food from feroenting in the
stomach and helps the stomach to digest
its food. Gl T e

the whirring of the wind, anon roaring

modulating the sonata in turn to the

To Change the Climate of Canada.
A Boston inan sayvs he can change the
slimate of New England and the maritime
provinces of Canada by building a dam
across the strait of Belle Isle, blocking it
and diverting the northern currents. The
dam wozld have to be ten miles long and
about 200 feet high and strong enough te
resist the ocean. He thinks this could be
done for £9,000,000, and that it would
give the territory named a climate much
like that of southern New York and New
Jersey.
