A HAVANA, March 21.—President’ Palma at 9 o'clock to-night issued a call for an extra session of the Senate on March 24 for the purpose of ratifying the Cuban reciprocity treaty as amended by the United States Senate. The reply of Min- ister Quesada to President Palma's cable- gram last night inquiring " if President Roosevelt was authorized to join with President Palma in decreeing an extension of time for the ratification of the treaty was that President Roosevelt was not authorized to extend the time and that the only way to save the treaty was to secure its ratification by the Cuban Senate before March 3l The call made by President Palma to-night was accord- President Palma, the Vice President and the Secretary of State. It is believed that lack of time will pre- vent the document being returned to Washington for final signaturc and that President Roosevelt can delegate United States Minister Squires to attend the final exchange of signatures. It is held here that it is unnecessary that the United States House of Representatives | shail pass upon the treaty prior to its ratification by the Cuban Senal OCEAN GREYHOUNDS NOT SO NUMEROUS Of 1238 Registered Steamers Only Twenty Come in Speedy Class.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfec- tant and purifier in nature, but few real- ize its value when taken into the human system for the same clenmlni purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.

The most interesting place of pilgrim~ age in Dublin is 8t. Michan's Church, where the organ is still to be seen upon which Handel is said to have composed his “‘Messiah.” In the graveyard is the last resting place of Robert Emmet and the vault at St. Michan's provides a more grewsome thrill than the morgue. The sexton lifts an fron door and descends a few rude steps. carrying a. light, without which the place would be pitch dark. You follow and find yourself in a narrow passage, from which cell-like recesses be- longing to different families branch off. Whether it is owing to the extreme dry ness of the surroundings or to some m: terious property of the place, the procs of decay has been arrested tures of persons dead for two centuries may be recognized from authentic por- traits. Here lie the United Irish consipracy, side by side al- most with the Earl of Leitrim, who was murdered about thirty years ago. The Earl’s ancestors for hundreds of years back rest in the same vault. Perhaps the strangest thing about the vault is the fact, apart from the weird sensation, there is nothing offensive in the surround- ings.—London Chronicle. —_—————————— Aids to Imagination. The human mind is so constructed— speaking with all respect to senior wrang- Jers and men of like ability—that it is un- able to realize bare figures when they ex- ceed a certain very moderate sum.
