A small, oblong cap- sule is filled with a chemical compound, allowed to become dry, then a match is applied to one end, when a quantity of gray, ashy looking material creeps slowly out from the capsule, twisting and turn • ling in a way to suggest the writhing of n serpent. These capsules are made by dis- solving in hot water a small ' quantity 91 gum tragacanth. When this is completely softened, put it into a mortar and add one grain of dry mercury snlphocyanide. Work 1t in the mortar with the gum, using only so much as is necessary to make it into a manageable pellet. This is then shaped into whatever size may be required. The pieces are dried upon glass. The most desirable shape to wake them is quite long and slender. When perfectly dry, if the flame is applied to one end of the capsule, the gray, ashy looking substance at once begins to oreep out, much to the surprise and amusement of the company. --New York Ledger.

Bare Floors. It Is a comfort occasionally to hear some one lecture upon houses and house furnish- ing who does not insist upon bare floors. Mrs. Henry Whitman, the artist, talking on the subject in Boston recently, said that a bare floor did not carry out entirely the idea of comfort, and that carpets which are simple and in good taste are to be pre- ferred. "We are getting too horribly pic- turesque," she said, "arid the result is a sort of chaos. Art," she wont on, "Is a most inclusiso thing. It never leaves out anything essr•,tial to life. We should not try to be picturesque. The living in a room makes it that. If law and order are recognized, things will gravitate to their proper places and the balance be pre- served." A Womanly Woman. The highest ambition of a thoroughly womanly woman when she becomes a wife will be to make her home so homelike and attractive to her husband that be will fond his greatest happiness there. You will never hear her complain of this as being a narrow sphere for a woman's life and en- ergies, for she is wise' enough to know it is anything but an easy task she has un- dertaken, and also that the influences for good .of such a home are not confined within the four walls that form its visible limits, but affect in some degree all whc' enterit, and that they will extendonward forerations.- has e. gen ]fVttc g EXPECT WAR WITHIN A WEEN United States Officials at Key West Feel That Way. one of the 5Xost Formidable Fleets Ever Got Together Now Lying at That Point Beady. to Strike -Cuban -Insurgents Understand the Game and Will Be Ready to Co -operate -A.

Tberois not a smart here but who expects to see active service, and that right speedily. There is not a man here but who openly so expresses himself. This belief is strongly borne out by', orders front Washington. As a result of these orders the is now lying here one of the most formidable fleets of warships ever got together in the world. It is the most formidable ever got together in fighting condition in American waters. More than this, it is ready for service at a moment's notice. All has been done, practically. When the Marblehead gets back from Tampa with ber cargo of amrrunition, and the nest steamers arrive .rota the north, tbe fleet will not only be supplied with toll emergency allotment of fighting materials, but the magazines for reserveat the Tortugas and at Ivey West will also be practically fully supplied.. There is a persistent report here, which cannot be set clown as Mrere. rumor alone. The report says that there is an understanding between the Insurg- ent Administration and the Administra- tion at Washington, The etatei:uent is afdoiaily unade by the Cuban agent here that President lfacea of the Cuban Gov ernnment has been notified of the possible outcome of the present crisis and thus plaoed in a position to act in conjunction with the United States forces in case of war with Spain. The same allioial states that President Macon has been assured that it is the intention of the Fresidetit of the United States to bring the matter to a head within a week through the reooguition of Cuban independence. FREEDOM FOR CUBA. That Xs the Watchword whish Now Ap- pears to Donminete MS. S. Govern.muent and People. Wa hington, Merril 14. --Senator Proo- tor is berrying back to Washington con- vinced that nothing lint the independence of Culla will satisfy the world.

Ho has investigated the strength of the insurgents and the eveakness of the Spanish authorities, two qucstious upon which the Administration and tett Con- gress desire to ho accurately informed at this immediate time. Freedom for Cuba. Tho Senator is keeping his counsel. But from. the source of his message quoted it is accepted hero that his judg- ment is for tho`freedom of Cuba by the most effective meanstltnt can be adopted. Substantially the whole regular army of the United States will be brought to the Eastern seaboard with all possible spend. Cavalry, artillery and infantry will bo moved to the posts in the Atlantio and Gulf Status. Only sufficient troops will be left in the West to prevent any possible Indian uprising. Orders to thus mobilize 24,000 trained soldiers are in preparation and will be Issued by the War Department as soon ss plans for transportation can be made. Anticipates and Expects Trouble. This action of the authorities furnishes conclusive evidence that the Government has advanced beyond the stage of prepar- ing for trouble as a precautionary measure. It now anticipates trouble and expects it. Preparations have advanced beyond that point even. It has been decided sub- stantially that upon the breaking out of war Major-General Merritt shall assume command of any military force sent to Cuba. It; that event Gen. Miles, in addition to his duties as Commander -General of the army, will assume also Gen, Mer- ritt's duties in the department of the east. For the first tiine since the war talk the War Department has resorted to the use of cipher in sending dispatches to the army posts regarding the contemplated movements of troops. Court Did Little Work. Havana, March 14. -The court of enquiry did little work Saturday. The members examined two divers, went over drawings, pans and photographs in the cabin of the Mangrove, and read over the stenographers' copy of some past testimony. The water was very rough, making the work of the divers difficult. It is hard to see any marked advance in the work of the wreckers. On the Hunt for Ships. London, March 14.-A special despatch from Rome says agents of the 'United States Navy Department have been visiting the shipyards at Genoa and Leghorn, to buy warships, but have found none available. An Appeal to Europe. Paris, March 14. -The Paris Saturday says: "The European concert which prevented the partition of Turkey owes it to Spain , not to allow her to become the first victim of pan-Amerioanism." Calculating the Possibilities. Madrid, March 14. -The Impartial says: There is still time to prepare a few nien-of-war, and it is perhaps pos- sible to buy a few vessels abroad, but in any ease we have some merchant ships which could do a lot of harm to Amer). - can commerce, and we have still time to arrange to carry on a privateering war, from which as much renown may accrue as from the guerilla warfare which van- quished Napoleon." Continuing, the Imparoial exhorts the Government to allow the present crisis to pass over, and to turn, the time gaine4. to. good use, concluding: "If our IIag goes into mourning, let ns at least be able to put some pieces of crape on the American's obnoxious flag." The Liberal gives the following as the present strength of the Spanish, navy; Protested warships 17, unprotected 20, gunboats 80, torpedo destroyers 14, torpedo boats 14, transports 25.

She disappeared beneath the water and retrained down at a depth of about 14 feet for noarly hint an hour, and then reappeared at the surface. It has been decided to exhibit her in the lower bay this week. RHODES AND KRUGER. Nast *Thursday's Elections is Cape Colony Will Telt Who Xs on Top-Ootn Paul's Blunder.

THE CAMPAIGN iN RUSSELL Both Parties Working Like Beavers to Win the Contest. Ottawa, March 14. --Tho campaign in Russell is being carried on with groat vim on both sides. Hon. G. W. Ross has come down to Ottawa to look after Mr. Hardy's interests, and is being supported by Organizers Smith and Dawson, with the assistance of a number of Liberal members of Parliament, who are stump- ing the county for Mr. Guibord. The Hardy Government realizes that it is fighting for its existence, as the loss of Russell would be almost certain death to it at the present .moment. The Liberals profess to be :onfident and the chances are certainly in their favor, but they aro by no means as cocky as they were before nomination day. Mr. Guibord has not proved as strong a candidate as was expected, and his offer to retire in favor of Mr. Gibson, without consulting the leaders of his party and the county, has weakened him a great deal, Mr. Guibord was not the choice of the con- vention, which selected Mr. Rocque, and wbon that gentleman retired Mr. Guibord, who was only two votes behind Mr. Rocque inthe convention. was selected by the Executive Committee, which now feels somewhat huffed that Mr, Guibord should have been willing to retire without contulting the com- mittee in favor of an outsider. On the other hand, the Conservative candidate, Mr. Marier, is gaining ground every day, and his chances of success are good, although the odds against him are very heavy, as both the Dominion and Provincial Govermnents are combined to defeat him. A number of Conservative meetings will be held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and a very strong effort made to redeem the constituency. No Result in South Perth. Stratford, Maroh 14. -The South Pertb election recount is still unfinished. An adjournment has been made until Mon- day. Owing to the secrecy of the proceed- ings it is impossible to give any idea of the result so far. O'Keefe Five Almond. Ottawa, March 14. -The recount was carried on until near midnight Saturday evening. O'Keefe has gained 18 votes on Powell, which not only wipes out , the majority of 'two which Powell had, but also the 11 votes which Powell would have had had not seven polling sub- divisions, been thrown out. In other words O'Keefe is tat present five votes ahead. Physician and Poet Dead.

In Mark vi, 14, it Is written that His name was spread abroad, and in 141ke ix, 7, It is mid that Herod was perplexed because that It was said of some that.Tobn was risontrom the dead. The context in Mark and Luke would indicate that it was about the time o1 the sending forth of the twelve. It seems GO me that the heart thought for us is that something of the words and works of Jesus by some means reached. Herod. If we are redeemed by His blood, it is that through, us the fame of Pfette may be far and wide made known. Heron ht Israel out of Egypt, dividing the waters of the Iled sea, leading them through the desert and dry- ing up Jordan before them. to make His glorious name known, that the many might be blessed in Hire (Iso. ixili,12, 14; Joshua iv, 24). 2. "And said unto His servants, This is John the Baptist; he ie risen from the dead. and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in bine," It Is wad in Mark, vi. 20, that Herod heard John glad- ly and did many things, knowing that he wa,s a just and holy mean, but as neither hearing nor dots will avail unless Christ is actually received luta the heart (I John v, 12; John i, 12) lIerod's knowledge did, not profit him. Ills evil doings would not suffer him to turn unto God (ROL v, 4). 3. "Per Herod had laid bold en joint and bound hint and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, fila brother Phlllp's wife,' These are among the seemingly strange things. That God who controls all things, even the devil, for there can be nothing beyond Hie control, should permit Joseph to be stolen, sold into slavery, falsely ao- oused and imprisoned; David to be hunted as a partridge 'upon the mnountatns; Jere - to know the horror" of the dungeon mire, and John tibia Baptist, 81s own her - led, none greater born of woman (Math. xi, 11), to suffer imprisonment and death. 4. "For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her." Therefore. for his faithfulness, lee is put in prison. Would It have been better for him to hays sale nothing about this sin? Might he have said, It le noaffair of miner They are the children of the devil anyway, and to him they are going whether Herodias uvea with Herod or with Philip?' Some would say so, and there are no doubt many things in which we are eo take no part, as they are not given to us to meddle with, but in this case John was brought face to taco with the sin, and either had to be blind, to it for peaoe's sake or speak faithfully for Christ's sake, 5. "And when be would have put bim to death ho feared tho multitude, because they countedhim as it prophet." Ilow full of fears this wretched specimen of self in- dulgent: humanity was. He feared the woman under whose control lathed plated himself for lust's sake, Ile feared tho peo- ple over whom he was placed, and he evi- dently feared the hereafter, for he did many things, and would doubtless have done more if such doing would have made hila sure of heavon without requiring ham to give up his darling sin. 0, 7, "But when Iierod's birthday was kept the daughter of Herodias danced be- fore them and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask." Feast days and birthdays must be kept, the entertain- ment business must go on, no matter what becomes of Christ or His heralds. We aro sura that He was not invited to this feast, and neither was His faithful John. This was like Belshazzar's feast, the devil's own, and he know what ho was up to. He was running this thing to accomplish his purpose. How well he enabled that poor, godless girl to dance that dayl How he enabled her to captivate the sinful heart of Herod and to lead him in his excitement to make her this great promise, and all to secure the death of John 1 8. "And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Bap- tist's head in a charger." We read in II Chron. sxii, 8, concerning a certain king that "his mother was his counselor to do wickedly." We know also that Rebekah was neither her own friend nor her son's when she counseled him to 110 to his fa- ther. Lying and deceit have the same au- thor as lust, and envy, and hatred, and murder. Let us resist the devil lest he use even us as be did Simon Peter, when he said, "Pity Thyself, Lord" (Math. xvi, 22, margin). 9. "And the king was sorry; neverthe- less for the oath's sake and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her." His honor before his guests was at stake and he dared not show him- self a man. Perhaps there was no man in him. It may have been all beast, alloarnal of the lowest kind. He could truthfully have said, I cannot give what is not mine, and human life is not in my power to give or take. That, however, was too noble for such a oreature, and he dared not go against Herodias. We have ell had other masters; can we now truly say, "One is my Master, even Christ, whose I amand whom I serve?" 10. "And he sent and beheaded John is the prison." Not long before John had sent messengers to Jesus inquiring if. Ho was the Christ, or if there was yet another to be looked for. Jesus wrougbt miracles and sent the messengers to tell John what they had seen and heard and added, "Blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in Me" (chapter xi, 6). We have no record that Jesus ever went to see him. Now is heard the tramp of feet. Some one is coming to see him. Is it the Lord and Master? His cell door swings open. He is wanted, not for earth, but for heaven. In a moment it is over, for the damsel awaits her gift and angels and redeemed spirits wait to welcome the faithful messenger to bliss eternal and indescribable. 11. "And his head was brought in a charger (or on a dish) and given to the damsel, and she brought ittoiler mother.'' Did ever mother ask or a daughter carry such a growsome dish? What did they do with it? How did they treat it? Well, the devil accomplished his purpose and John's sojourn in a mortal body was end- ed. But "can it be that the devil has the least idea of the bliss of the redeemed when he is allowed to kill their bodies? If so, would he be so desirous to usher them into. such glory? 12. "And his disciples came sand took up the body and buried it and went and told Jesus." In Mark vi, 29, it is written that they laid it in a tomb. They did not bury • ohn, or lay him in a tomb, and they will not bury us if the time should coins for ne bo pass out of the mortal body.' A SATURDAY SHOOTING.
