W, Grainger, Chairman Committee. Cuba contains about, but very little more than, the same number .of square miles as North Carolina. Its population as to number of inhabitants is about the same. In Indus! r al development, out side of its sugar and tobacco and sugar plantations, by no means approach North Carolina. And yet it is estimated that 127,000,000 revenue win be required to "run the government" of the Inland the next fiscal year. North Carolina raises . . i ....... . ,. ... less man lour minions oi dollars a year for all state, school and county purposes, including state and county debts and pensions, and this even leaves an un pleasant taste to the month. What the Cubans can do, by way of government, to require twenty-seven millions, or seven times more than North Carolina, wa are at a Iocs to understand.

EVERY SINGLE GEOGRAPHICAL FACT AND EVERY SCIENTIFIC ONE LN EVERY BOOK THAT I HAVE EVER WRITTEN HAS BEEN LOOKED UP WITH CARE AND IS SCRUPULOUSLY CORRECT. If, for instance, I had not wished to point the fact that a journey round the world entailed the apparent loss of a whole day, my "Round the World In Eighty Days" would never have been written, and "The Mysterious Island" .owed its inception to my. wish to tell the world's boys something about , the wonders of the Pacific ' My eighty-fourth book, which has just been published, is a de scription of the home life of the missing link as I believe the life of that queer bond between the ape and the man will one day be found to be. .

LAUGHTER AND TEARS I ' - By Profeuor CAMILLC MEL1NAUD, French Physiologist ' O the superficial observer tears and laughter are ex actly opposite extremes, and. he makes in regard to them a very simple and uncompromising rule, . "Laughter expresses joy and tears express sorrow." To be exact and tnie the rule should be expressed mm thus that "TEARS ARE CONNECTED WITH SADNESS, 60METIMES CAUSED BY AN UNBEARABLE SORROW OR PAIN, SOMETIMES BY A RELAXATION AFTER THE PAIN AND SOMETIMES BY AN INTENTION TO SHdW THAT WE FEEL A PAIN THAT WE, IF WE WANTED TO, COULD VERY WELL BEAR WITHOUT SHOWING IT." , ' . . v -: . -:'c ' : . . . Laughter often means something else. It means that we have detected a weakness," a distraction, an infirmity, in some one else, end here is where another difference between laughter and tears u tliown. As Holbes so strikingly expresses it, laughter is always a "sudJ;a priJc," a fecllr.g of Eupcriority over our fellow ecu cf being fr:3 from cert 'a foiilcs tLat we see in others, vlile TEARS ARE A 4 :?rys'K ;L if J lilHllillllilalllllalanilllrtlBliiylillllUllKall'g JULES VERNE El Tha Lag' Rights at the Dog. , A Missouri court has passed upon question of some Importance- to the wncrs of dogs and tba parents of youths who lndalge in the practice of attaching tin cans to canine caudal ap- It appear that a man named Simon owned a dog named Jupiter, which; ac cording to the testimony of the neigh bors, was a good and peacefully In curred Cos. In tiio same neighborhood there lived a man named Qulnn, who was pofuiessed of a son, aged ten. named' William, populurly designated as Willie. On a certain day Jupiter basked In the sun in front of the prem ises of ibis master, seemingly at peace with all theworld. Willie, who ia ap parently art exponent of the strenuous life, did not consider the situation suf flclently exciting. He longed' to see things' move; to bear things clatter. He tied a tin can' tv Jupiter's tall. : Jupiter was annoyed thereat and bit a small piece out of Willie's anatomy, after which Willie abandoned the sport' and Informed bis father. Thereupon the father of Willie brought suit against Simon for dam ages. On tne bencn sat Judge SIdener, evidently a man of perspicacity ; and parts, who upon hearing and Judicious ly weighing the evidence decided that "any dog has a legal and undeniable right to bite any man, woman or child who purposely and with Intent to dis turb said dog's tranquillity and peace of mind does attach or cause to be at tached to said dog's tail a tin can or other weight which will Impede or tend to impede the progress of said animal. A. dog which' bites Its persecutor in each a cause is acting purely and hon estly in self defense and is as justly Immune from punishment as the man wbo strikes at a burglar In defense of bis own life and welfare." ; ; This would appear to be good law, but it is doubtful if it will to any great extent deter strenuously inclined youths from following the law of their na tures and accepting the perils which may follow attaching tin cans to dogs' tails. i A gratifying victory for arbitration is found In the speedy settlement of the strike of street car employees In Richmond and Manchester, Va, While the wage scale fixed by. the arbitrators was not satisfactory to the union, that body faithfully kept Its pledge to abide by the result of the conference. The attitude of the employing company In willingly submitting the ase toarbl-. tratioo and agreeing to stand by- the reenjt la also commendable. The incK dent ' furnishes an excellent example for employees who under. similar con" dltlons may be Inclined to break, their pledged faith and for employers who contemptuously announce that they have "nothing to arbitrate," If arbi tration of labor troubles -1 to .become' general, aa all good citizens hope, there must not only be an entire willingness on both aides to arbitrate and perfect frankness in furnishing facts nd data to the arbitrators, but. a. strict iadher. ence to the findintra,' t .

Mr. Hathaway is a higher tariff against the 'United States and preferential trade throughout the Brit ish empire, and he declares that "the present unsympathetic attitude of Brit ish statesmen -toward .Canada, shown more particularly In the- failure to re adjust their tariff and reciprocate our preferential rebate, is unworthy of their supposed sagacity and foresight" From late reports of the meeting of the conference- of 1 the colonial pre miers with the offlcialsoff the London colonial office -touching ai British com mercial onion there appear to be little prospect , of securing : the- relief which Mr.- Hathaway suggests.
