D v.J Nail Luk hum mm 'TrWl 7 Va IT. aii Kodol Dyspepsia Cure t, n)falflCU What rt tat? THI TIIIZUIll unrAtioi, 8ayi a WnblDgton telegram to tbe Baltimore Ban: , The State Department has been ad vised by Minister Bowen that President Castro, of Vennaela, has in general teimi accepted tbe conditions (or arbi tration submitted to bim as representing tbe attitude of tbe powers now in eon fliot with Venfiaela. Tb'.s does not neoessarily mean an agreement for arbitration, tbongb tbe agreement is expeo'ed to result. Tbe aoeeptauoe on tbe part of. President Castro was essential to the assembling of a commission to draw np a protocol embodying the questions to be sob mitted to arbitration, together with tbe conditions attending and tbe oondi tions precedent to it. Until it is known what tbe powers will ioeist npon in the protocol as eooditions precedent i here will remain a possibility of fail nre. It is expected that tbe commission to draw np tbe protocol will meet in Washington and that it will be com posed of the British, the German and the Italian Ambassadors'' and Minister B iweo, who is c xpeoted to represent Vm cnela, President Castro, in his prompt ao ofptanoe of the preliminary conditions, baa diplayed tbe adroitness wbiob has been noticeable in bis ooorge. If tbe commission assembles in Washington, and' Minister Bowen comes here to represent Venezuela, this Government indirectly, tbrongb Mr Bowen, will be made tbe onstodian of Castro's honor. Mr. Bowen will have to exert himself to tbe utmost to avoid the motion of any humiliating conditions upon tbe Vent ranlan Government precedent to ibe arbitration. 1 be Vent zaelao answer is beiog pre paced at the State Department for transmission to Europe.. As it is long and undoubtedly will require careful consideration by the Foreign Offices st London, Berlin and Home, it Is not ex peoted that any further steps toward a final settlement can be taken for a day or two. A press diepaleh from Berlin gives this account of tbe status as viewed in that capital: Tbe German Government's reserva tions in agreeing to submit tbe Vene zuelan claims to arbitration continue to be undisclosed in their entirety. From statements appealing today it seems to be confitmed that Germany rxolndee from the claims which are subject to arbitration demands amount ing to $300,000 for seizure of property and outraged on tbe pereons of German eolj'Cts under eirenmstanoes whioh are bere deemed so clear that it is useless to call in arbitrators. Tbe pay meot of this sum will not be demanded in oasb at present, but a sufficient guar antee of the payment will be insisted npon. Great Britain's preferred claims are t quiialent in amount to $300 000. benoe the statements made abroad that Germany is asking more than Great Britain are deolared incorrect. Germany waves an apology for what are bere called ''diplomatic intuits," asking only material reparation. It is now settled that tbe German cruiser Sperber will sail for Veotzi els January 6. Tbe L kalatzjtger, the ooly Berlin newspaper having a special correspond ent at Caracas, prints a dispatch from the Vent znelan capital, dated Decern ber 29, relating tbe correspondent's ex peiience in interviewing President Cas tro. He fonnd Castro at General Al cantara's estate, at L Victoria, dano ing at noonday. General Alcantara, woo was waitiog witb a bundle of die patches, remarked to the correspondent that it "wouldn't do to interrnpt Ibe President's pleasure even witb State basinets." But tbe correspondent says be spike to the President between danoes aud "after a conversational te oonnoipsance" it quired if be intended to give tbe powers satisfaction. " "Why, no," replied tbe President; 'I am the one demanding satisfaction for insults.' " 'At Ibis remark" tbe correrpondent continues, "a lady clapped the Preei deuton tbe back and said: " 'That's the way to talk, old boy.'" Bays a Paris telegranc: A dispatch to the Matin from Caracas cot firms the statement that Vemzaela has promised Franae to treat ber claims like those of Great Britain, Germany and Italy, but a ds tbat a similar pro mise was refused to Belgium, opsin and Holland. THE BLOCKADE. A special to the New York Herald from Willemstad, Caracas, says: Tbe Dateh steamer Prinx Willem IV. wbicb arrived bere this morning, was the last steamer from Europe to pass the blockade The last American freight to pass tbe blockade left nn tbe Red D Line steamer Merida for Poerto Cabell" No more foreign goods ean enter Ventznela until tbe blockade is lifted. Port Comanco is again in tbe hands of the rebels. President Castro is seriously crippled in bis military opera tione became he has no warships to transport troops aud aid his land forces.

Atlanta Journal. We have all been talking abont and watching Ventznela of latej bot bow many can tell anything right off hand about tbe history of that country Here are some facts that may enable yon to "brush up" bit in your knowledge of Venezuela i Io the year 1408 Columbus discovered tbe eastern ooast of Ventznela, and in 1409 Amerigo Veipnocl explored tbe whole coast. They found an Indian village bnilt on piles over tbe water as a precaution - against inundations. They named tbe country Venezuela, or "Little Venioe," which was the name finally fastened to it, The Spaniards afterwards cor, quoted tbe country and Venezuela remained under Spanish role until the early part of the nineteenth oentury. It was violently opposed to Joseph Bonaparte as Spanish king, and in 1811 threw off tbe allegianoe to Spain and declared itself independent. Io 1812 the treaty of Victoria restored it to 8paio. Ia 1813 General Simon Bolivar led a revolt against Spain and secured tbe independence of the ooontry and tbe republic of Columbia was organized, consisting of New Granada, Vent zuela and Eeoidnr. In 1829 Ventznela withdrew from tbe Columbian republic and became an independent State. In 1830 Esuador did tbe same thing, in a peaoeful and amicable way. After various disturbances in Vene zuela, G. neral Blanoo, set op a provis ional government in the year 1809, and tbe oonntry ecjiyed many years of genuine prosperity. He was a dicta tor, bnt be rnled well. It is remarkable and astonishing bow many countries Spain once owned, bnt wbiob are now lost to tbe 8pauisn throne. Tbe decadenoe of Spain as a world power has been rapid and dis appointing to everyone. Venezuela lies in the tropios and contains nearly 400,000 cqaare miles. Collecting Debts by Fores. Ibid. The attempt coerce Ventznela by England and Germany into the pay ment of debts, has a prroedent in the tffort of Franoe to collect certain debts from Mexico, and wbiob led ultimately into tbe further attempt to put Maxi milian and the Archduchess Carlotta on the Mexican throne. The amount owed to oitizans of Fraice, Eogland and Spain amounted to seventy fire millions of dollars a quarter of a million beiog due to France ooly from Mexi jane. Finding it impossible to collect tour clsims by negotiations, the three gov ernments, in 1861, arranged a joint expedition into Mexi3o, to compel ber to make provision for pajmeot. Franoe determined, also, to establish a Latin empire in America -tbe expedi tion consisting of eigbty-ine vessels, carrying 1 611 gone and 27.911 sailors aod troops, reached Vera Cruz in December. 1801 Spanish troops oooo pied ibe city when tbe Mex.otns evac nated and retired from Vera Croz. Gnglaod aod Spain became suspi ciouB of Franoe, and both governments arranged their difficulties with Mexioo by tbe convention of Sjlidad on tbe 15;b of February and withdrew forces on tbe following April, 1861 When left alone Frsnnn reinforced her army, and, doring 1862, toe French bad great difficulty to bold their own agaiust the Mexicans. Tbe siege of Paeblo was defended witb gallantly, but tbe French cap lured it oo May 18.1863. The oivil war iu tbe United states beiog in aotive progress, the southern people were not posted oo the French attack on Mexico, and it aBiooiebed everybody to bear that the city of Mexico was taken aod entered by tbe French aimy in June, 1863. This seemed to be Ljuis Napoleou'j opportunity. His council deolared against tbe continuance of a republic deciding tbat a hereditary empire would be tbe best for tbe country. Arcbdnke Maximilian, tbe brother of the emperor cf Austria, was selected as the proper person to be made emperor of Mt-xioo. Under the intimidation of the French, tbe choice was apparently ratified by the Mexican people. A year later, in June, loul, Maxi milian and Carlotta entered tbe city of Mexioo, after accepting the Mexioan crown. It is believed that Maximilian hon estly endeavored to establish a good government in Mexico, but be was thwarted by the large majority ot tbe Mexican people, who refused tosaoo tion tbe destruction of the republic, which bad been done by tbe French aod not by their own nation. President Juartz established a seat of government at Monterey, and tbe war went oo with varyiog success, until 1866 Tbe oivil war in the United States being then ended, tbe American gov ernment gave Luis Napoleon to un derstand that the Frei oh occupation ot Mexico was not pleasing, and Louis Napoleon then intimated to Maximilian tbat he should abdicate tbe crown. Tbe Austrian flatly told him be eould not, in honor, forsake tbe Mexican leaders, who had risked tbeir lives fjr bis cause. The French troops were withdrawn and Maximilian was left to b'.s fate was shot, by tbe order of President Juarez on tbe 18 b of June, 1867. Thos ended tbe collection ut foreign debts by warlike measures, and bere began tbe downfall of boms Napoleon His varioos and devious designs led bim into war witb Prussia, and he, himself, was soon forced to flie from France, as an exile or fugitive and forever lost bis empire.

QTThis Is an hon est offer medioine sent at oooe, prepaid. collection ot foreign debts by military agenoies will not be very suooessf ul on tbo western oootinent of North or South America. The attempt to eoeroe Mexico langbt France a good lesson. It ia understood that France will settle witb Vent zielan debtors in a q iieter way. It was well that Louis Napoleon was warned ft from Mexioo, bat it will becqaslly well to keep EogUod and Germany at arm, length frnmSaat.b American republics If an English or German oiliz'o is maltreated by Venizuelan authorities, or tbeir vessels fired upon or destroyed, then tbo proper redress should be given, bnt when a parcel of men go to Vene zaela and borrow money in Franoe, Eoglvnd or Germany to earry on iodi vidoal businese operations it is some what farfetched to send war vessels to destroy the ships and ports ot the adopted ooontry. If collecting laws are faulty or inoperative, then mak them more reliable, but it is prepos teroos to deolare war on snch meagre pretenses. Arbitration of these d ffer ences is, therefore, the natural and proper thing. Mrs. Clark Dead. Bj telegraph to the Observer. Boile, Moot, January 1 Mrs. W. A.

ODD NOTIONS ABOUT ANIMALS THAT ARE BORN OF IGNORANCE. Some Huperstltlona About Toad and . Snnbea Explained Ann Nocturnal Anlmnla and Their Eyea Lambs and Sheep and Their Tails. It Is commonly believed that toads causo wurts. This In buHud upon tbe following combination of facts: Toads arc tho only common animals that are naturally covered with wartlike lumps. They eject a clear liquid. TIiIh Is bui poscd to do something. Warts uppeiir mysteriously, and no one Ih aide to ex plain the causes ot their coming and going. It Is erroneously inferred that they nre produced by this wart bear ing, nocturnal creature with peculiar habits, upon the basis of the doctrine that "like produces like." The com mon belief that tadpoles shed their talis lias for its origin the facts that while living In water each possesses a swimming tail, but when it metamor phoses Into 11 frog or a toad it becomes tailless. In fact, the tail does nut drop off, but it is uliw.rl.nl and disap pears In the body, just iih a swelling from a bump on the head disappears. How often do we hear that frogs and toads have fallen with rain, and almost every July we may read accounts of such phenomena. These may have for their basis the fact that during the month of July toads, change from the tadpole stage and aquatic habitat to the adult form and terrestrial habitat and thou migrate landward In gnat numbers. They are active only at night or during hot weather, effectual ly concealing themselves In the -most common places during the daytime. Ilowever, when a rain falls at such a time they appear by thousands, as If by magic, and give the impression of having fallen with rain. There are doubtless more supersti tions concerning snakes than any other creatures. This arises In part from the traditions of the form of the original tempter and in part from the fact that but very few persons are willing to calmly observe serpents for themselves and learn the truth directly. We have met persons who believe that all snakes ure venomous. This doubtless comes from the old Itotnan rule. "All unodisee onirics." How prevalent is the belief that horse hairs turn to snakes! There Is no other foundation for this error than the resemblance of the so called hairsnake (gordiusi to a common horse hair. Snakes are often supposed to charm birds, but the fact is that the feathered songsters are paralyzed by fright when they suddenly see the rep tiles at close proximity. The common erroneous belief that snakes sting or bite by means of their tongues may come from the Scriptural quotation. "It stingeth like an adder." The supposition that snakes bile them selves and die is doubtless based upon the actions of certain species, like the hog nosed adder, which when (cased will act as though dead and thus some times lind protection. It is ery com monly thought that snakes' tails "live" or are uetive until sundown. This arises from the prolonged activity of the tail, due to the reflex action of the caudal nerve centers, which may continue for a longer or shorter period owing to tem perature and othtr conditions. Many persons believe that there is a glass snake or joint snake, which may be broken to fragments when struck, but cau rejoint itself and live. This may come from the fact that u certain liz ard (Ophiosaurus ventralisi readily loses Its tail, and while the body escapes the caudal member wiggles and attracts the attention of the pursuer. The erroneous hU a that turtles breathe under water, as do fishes, is de rived from Hie observations of their having remained submerged for some hours. Itut this is made possible by their lung capacity, their limited need of oxygen compared with that i f warm blooded animals and their ability to store oxygen In their tissues and use it as needed. Both specie of American cuckoos (genus coocvziisi mind nests, eonirai to the popular belief. The error comes from the fact that the Kuropeaii cuckoo (cticulus) builds no nests, but is parasitic, laying Its eggs in the nests of other birds, as docs our cowliird (inolothrusl. The old idea that "a sight of the oriole cures jaundice" doubtless Is connected with the yellow color of the bird and the homeopathic doctrine "Similla simllilius eurantur" tlike cures llket Most persons believe that owls, cats aud other nocturnal animals can see In absolute darkness. This error arises from the fact that in these animals 'the pupil of the eye is very large or dilata ble, and In subdued or very feeble light they ean see much better than cau man. One can readily demonstrate the fallacy of the supposition by tak ing an owl or other nocturnal animal luto a perfectly dark room, as we have done, und touching it with the hand. It does not move, even though it be au untamed animal. Tats ami ulher noc turnal animals are erroneously thought to emit light from their eyes because when looking toward the light the crystalline leus of the eye produces a glaring reflection. The ideas that swans sing when dying and moles open their eyes at the time of death are handed down from the writings of l'liny and represent Ignorance of tho facts of oology. Wo were onee seriously asked by n teacher, "At what age do the little lambs' tails drop off?" He had accu rately observed that the talis of the lambs are long, while those of the old sheep nre short, and he had obtained a false Idea, which is, however, preva lent. Of course he was shocked to learn thnt sheep raisers amputate the tails to pro ent tbe soiling of tho wool.
