s THE PACE OF CUBA. A Cuba cannot live within her means and has weakened her credit with un- due despatch. The rule of President Gomez has shown how quickly a young republic can be impoverished. The revenues ought to meet the expenses. The port of Havana produces daily something like sixty-five thousand dollars in customs revenue; the na- tional lottery produces a quarter of a| million dollars or more a month;\the s tonnage of the port amounts to a mil- lion dollars a year, and these are but a few of the sources of income in Havana alone with other smaller ports where many millions of dollars Borwich Bulletin and Goudier.

And yet last month the government made a deficit of $8,457.31. When President Gomez came . to power there was a surplus of $30,000,% 000 in the treasury and now Cuba has a debt of $30,000,000 and no credit to speak of. v It is not strange that a revolution is expected since corruption is ram- pant and graft of every kind uncon- demned, and the better classes bur- dened and restless are likely to re- pudiate the present government and establish a regime governed by wise policies with a view of making the country solvent and financially strong with the nations of the earth. A UNIFORM DANGER SIGNAL. In time the warning of the motor carriages in the streets will be uni- form and much of the confusion which exists today because of all kinds of warning sounds will be overcome. The leading automobilists are work- ing to bring about the recognition and legalizing of one signal for all. David would accuse the other him fall when, in truth, own awkwardnéss. 'One day Ben was playl ball. He tried his best to hit the other boys, and it was a fair game: but when a snowball struck him in the face he cried so loud that a girl who was g thought he had been al- most killed. Her attempt to soolhe him only made him cry the louder; but the boys said to her: ¥ “You need not mind him; ’tis only Cry-Baby Ben.” Some day, perhaps, Ben will really need help: then nobody will g0 near him.—Ethel Burton Whitney, age 13, Putnam. Life on the River Beaupre. The River Beaupre is beautiful for its scenery as well as its usefulness. It has several waterfalls which flow through beautiful ~ wooded country down until within a mile of the St. Lawrence river. Here it runs through a valley with grand hotels, to which come Americans and other tourists to pass the summer months. The River Beaupre is controlled by the St. Anne Waterpower company, 5.

The pasture thistle is purple, and those were the first specimens I have ever found. I have read en the Danes invad- ed Scotland they stole a silent night march . upon the Scottish camp by marching barefoot; but a Dane step- ped on a thistle, and his sudden, sharp cry, arousing the sleeping Scots, sav- ed them and their country; hence the|. thistle became the Scotch emblem.

[] THE COUNTY FAIR. ‘While the county fair in its pristine plainness is a thing of the past in ny sections of the country, it still has a hold upon the agricultural sec- tions which make it next tothe circus in popularity. The county fair has never been without its competitions, ts buffoonery and its music, and s question, that the electric horn is to- day the only horn that really amounts to anything as a warning signal. “What has militated against it thus far is its misuse by joy riders and by chauffeurs who ought to be subjected to some kind of regulation. It has occurred to me that if some plan for a high and low control could be de- vised it might serve better than any- thing else to check this misuse evil, which is the real cause of the legisla- tion now becoming so frequent. “The truth is, the automobilists themselves are often obliged to take legislative steps to protect themselves as a body from being classed as of- fenders against the public peace. But what is desired is regulation, not pro- hibition. A warning signal is for use branch railroad of the Quebec Light & Power Co. They have a mill there where they saw wood in different lengths for the pulp mills of the state. They have a dam where they store their wood in the springtime. They go fifty miles into the forests in the winter to cut the lumber; they throw it on the ice and float it down in the river in the spring. The lumber is cut in the mill, then loaded_on the freight cars for the states, You can see from 75 to 100 cars coming down every night with the wood. The men who work in these mills live five and ten miles away. They go and come from work fn strong carts drawn by Caradian dogs harnessed like a horse.

See the Lion bold, and the dwarf, Miss Gentian, I'm sure she must be old.” That toad is truly spinning flax; that rattlesnake is plantain. Hark! hear Misw Bellwort ring her chimes. This surely is enchanting.”—Student. A LITTLE WOMAN’S PLANS. Dear Uncle Jed: I am just six years old@ and would like very much to get one of the splendid prize books you are giving. I am helping my mother this sum- mer. I have earned some money pick- ing berries. I save my money for a piano. I hope to have one some day. I went to school last year.
