Her Grace, the Duch ess Consuelo is the mother of another bouncing boy. All things considered, the store which wants our trade enough to invite you to give it to it, is the safest and best store to trade at, and this store ad vertises, says Mrs. MXrick. According to his own testi mony, Chaplain Mclntyre did not know what he said about the naval battle of Santiago till he read it in the newspapers. This emphasizes the necessity of reading the papers in order to keep posted. The New York court of Ap peals has decided that the sur plus of savings banks is not taxable. This is a very proper exemption. The weight of tax ation falls heavily upon the shoulders of the poor. They pay enough on all the necessaries of life, without giving up in addi tion any part of their accumu lated savings. “Advertisers know the paper that brings results,” says a New York journal ; and the saying can be accepted unreservedly.lt is true that when the full re sul'.s fail to come the cause may lie as much in the advertising matter as in the medium ; but as all papers are subject to the same conditions in that respect the general rule that a paper should be judged by the results is practically as fair a one as can be devised.

The true measure of kindness is the certainty of its centinu ance. It is often as well to know how to hold your pen as your tongue. The harder times are the more tramp jokes you see in the comic papers. It is sometimes easier to gain the daughter’s hand than the father’s ear. Usually the less intelligible a signature the more it is worth at the bank. The man who buys rum by the glass can’t see the folly of buying coal by the bushel. A great trouble with some people is they don’t know that they don’t know anything. A man can always tickle his wife with a feather—if it hap pens to be an ostrich feather. It is simply impossible for some writers to extract the truth that lies at the bottom of an ink well. CURSED BY AN OPAL. Opa's are coming into fashion again , but the old superstition as to the ill luck attending thsin is not dead in Spain. Spanish people believe that all tbs trials that have eome to the reigning bones are through the influence of a eur sed opal ring. The ring belonged to that famous beauty, ths Comtease de Castig lione. On& of the ad nairers of this beau ty was Alfonso Nil of Spain. Shs thought hs was going to marry hsr, but hedidjnot, and sbs resolv ed on revenge. She sent him this magnificent ring. The King showed it to his wife, Queen Mercedes, who was eharm ed with its beauty and begged to keep it, Alfonso gave it to her readily, and she s'ipptd it on her finger. From that moment she I ined away, and in a few months died. The ring fell from hsr dead hand, and the King gave it ts bis grandmother, Queen Christiana, who died a few months later, Next the ring was given to Alfonso’s sister, the Infaata Mari a del Pilar, who wore it but a few days before she died of a mysteri ous illness. After this series of fatalities the King determined to keep the ring himself, and hs slipped it on his finger. From that moment his health oommenaed to fail, and m twenty-four hours he was dead. Physicians could never quite ac count for it, and the matter was hushed up.

The fort had been deserted, the trench;» be fore it heaped with Spanish dead. The left of the Twelth, I noticed, clesing in, appparently for a charge, which in fact,went forward with a cheer at once. As I reached the charging party, after a race I fancy I ehall nev er forget, with the Mausers {top ping apparently directly back of of my ears all the way across the opening, the gallant little band wae just crossing the trenches. The fort had been carried (3 :30 o’clock), but the fighting wae not over. From the town and frum the block houses on both sides the Spaniards main tained a dogged fire. But the end was near. We simply riddled that town, and at half after 4 those Spaniards who were left retreating toward Santiago assembled on a small hill half a mile off and fired sev eral volleys at us, defiant to the last.—From “The Santiago Campaign.” by Caspar Whitney in Harper’s Magazine-. THE WIZARD’S DAUGHTER. In the realm of philanthropy the end-of-the-century woman is well in the race with all mascu line competitors Helen Gould, daughter of the late “Wizard of Wall street,” has just received a vote of thanks from New Yorkers for her many benefactions. This young woman is well deserving ol gratitude Her ed ucational, charitable and benev olent work has all bean unostentatiously. Working’ in different lines fiom Mrs. Hearst, Mr*. Stanford or Mias Garrett, yet she ia a wise and libera) giver. The world notes with gratifi cation the good being doae by woman in her ever-widening lelds of endeavor, but the spec tacle of the daughter of Jay Gould miniatering to sick and dying soldiers is one that “pleas ea by surprise and delights by' contrast.” The process of cutting down thu army has been leisurely enough thus far, and many offi sera and men are still retained in the Federal service subject to orders froty headqai tersj al though there is’no possibility of an occasion |oi* their s&rvices. Within the next thirty days, however, the volunteers, who are to be relsased from military duty will have been mustered out, and the remaining force of regulars and volunteers, about 120,000 strong, will be fully pre- 1 pared for service at home or abroad. There is an ample mar gin m this number to cover all contingencies—even the remote chance of another outbreak of hostilities with Spain. The Sparta Ishmaelite says : There ought to be a reform of the pension system in Georgia. No one not absolutely indigent should draw a pensian. The ten dency is to pension every man who was in the Confederate ser vice. The motive back of it may be all right, but the taxes are already far too high. The pen sion and shod funds should both be j educed. When the war came on,” said. Mr. McKinley at Bushnell, 111., “There were 200,000 volunteers within sixty days,” Very true. But Why? Would not 50,000 at the outside been enough? And did not Gen. Schofield warn you that 50,000 were as many as could be handled without need lessly imperilling lives and health?—New York World. Capt.
