It answers the tame purpose ae the oils in Mexico and the clay jugs of India. Tt i made of gray porous clay and ia manufactured in Malaga, "where the raisins come from. By absorption and evaporation blanket of cool air surrounds the jug continually and keepa the water almost aa root as if it Contained fee. In a country where ice is both scarce and expensive these jugs are indispensable. The water monkeys have two apertnrea.

one about the size of a dollar, through which water is poured into a glass. On the opposite aide is a proturberance with a email hols running through it. From this the experienced Cuban drinka without touching it to hia lips. When about to drink be holds it two or three inches from his mouth, into which the tiny stream of rater poors. Gradually and slowly he lifts the monkey away from him natil it is aling to flow from the monkey down hie throat.

Occasionally tbs drinker gulps, and when hia thirst has been satisfied be returns the monkey toward bis mouth, then suddenly tip it up, shutting off the stream. It take eonaideraM experinee to drink out of a water monkey gracefully. The beginner send a stream of water down his neck instead of his throat four times out of five until he has mastered the art.

D. May 11 -Every one waits at the Caplto! with a arcater in tensity of feeling thaa there hs liefore leva nhitdted, for some decisive newt from lit squadron unde Admiral Sampson ll Is racnguiaed fully that the decisive work of this war must be performed by the aavy lf Kpsnish fleet it not found off Porto Rico or Ijuig In the harbor of Ban Jupn. there will certainly be a great disappointment to all alio are looking for auother Dewey victory. Naral experts of experience however, speak Tery soberly of the eonllict that 1 anticipated. The Spanish fleet ulilch Rainpaoa expect, to meet baa uadobutediy the beat officers, sailor aad equipment that Spain can put upon the ocesn.

Thera still remalna some doubt a to whether or not the Cape Verde fleet i on this aide of the Atlantic. hen it left the rortugurs islands it was followed for twelve hours in a westward direction by a fast steamer our ron.ul had hired to watch the rout th fleet wa taking. As the flpaniah vetael moved at a speed not exceeding ten or twelT knots per hour, they did not raaka over 140 miles during the period they were watched by onr scout, and it would have been practicable for their Teasels to have awung northward and made their way to the Canarie. A few houra will, however, settle theee mooted question. The departments are not giving out much Information juat now, but all movements indicate the inauguration in deadly earnest of a vigorous campaign, both by aca and land.

Sampson will attack Fovto Rico or the fleet, or both, as soon as he retches the principal hsrbor thereof. The movement of troops and the increased vigilant of the Cuba blockading squadron under Watson are sufficient proof that the policy of immediate action rather than the reverse has been definitely decided upon. The regulars are en route from Chiekamauga. Twenty-five transports are nt Tampa and Key West ready to transship them to Cuba. Fifteen thousand stands of arms.

are now on their way for landing in eastern Pinar del Rio, suffi oient to equip all the Coban forces now available to the west and south of Havana Ac attack upon the harbor of Cardenas, one hundred miles to the east of Havana, will te next in order. When these things are all well under way, Gomez and Garcia will also be found in operating distance. The concentration of Spanish force on the sea coast amounts to a practical aban doument of the interior of the island. Just now it seems the general thing to decry the value of our Cuban allies, but when our own force are being landed, the Spanish commander will assuredly make the effort to destroy railroad communication end material, so as to hamper our progress as much a possible. The Cubans will then prove their utility by early seizure of the roads and vigilant guarding of the same.

In the hundred ways that strike any ob-eerving mind they will be able, as they are rerlainly willing, to facilitate our military movements in an effectual manner. The Senate Finance Committee has decided to place a license 'of $100 per year upon all banks. The brokers' tax will be $.80. The question of license has not been settled as yet. The tax on insurance companies has been increased from $2, under the House bill, to $10 per $100 of transactions.

An inheritance tax has also been agreed to. All stock operations and dealing in future will he subject to a stamp tax. a a memorandum will be required to be of every transaction, and upon the same a 2-eent stamp must be placed. The tonnage tax will probably be eliminated. No tax on tobacco in stock will be levied: this i settled.

The committee has decided to leave the beer acbedule as it passed the House, except that the re-bnte is to be increased from 5 to 7 per cent. There are also many other changes which have been settled, but the members of the committee refuse to make them public on the pica that they are generally of small importance, and that their publication would only serve to bring protests from those interested. The Democratic amendments were submitted to the committee yesterday. In addition to their provis.on for a corporation tax, they will offer an amendment authorizing the issuance of $190,000,000 in noninterest bearing Tresnury notes, and another authorizing the coinage of the silver seigniorage in the Treasury. The rate of taxation for corporations has been reduced in their programme to of I per and It is believed by them that this provision will produce at least $40,000,000 of revenue.

Explicit charges and specifications have been made -against Downing, the alleged Spanish spy, by authority of Judge Advocate General Leiber, and a copy has been placed in the hands of Colonel F. L. Guenther, at the barracks. There are two counts in the charges, the first being that Downing, in violation of the Revised Statutes of the United States, Section 1,343, acted as a spy. the United States being engaged in a war with Spain, and did obtain information regarding the military aad naral operations of this government and endeavor to communicate the same to the enemy through the medium of a certain person in Montreal, for the purpose of aiding the Spanish Government in its hostile operation! against the United States.

This section provides that all persons who in time or war or rebellion against the supreme authority of the United States shall be found lurking or acting aa spies ia or about any of the fortifications, posts, quarters, or encampments of any of tbo armies of the United States, or elsewhere, shall be tried by a general court-martial or by a military commission, and shall, opon conviction thereof, suffer death. The second oount in the specification is practically th same as the first, with tbo exception that It doe not state that Downing endeavored to Impart bis Information to tfae enemy, bnt state that he did roomonleete with a certain! person in.

The charge was burglary and grand larceny for breaking into th clothing atore of Samuel Greenstein, No. 141 Manhattan avenue, and preparing a bundle of clothing for removal. Judge Atpir.nl! Immediately discharged the jury- sol directed their names to be stricken from the panel for this week.

The Jurors are complaining. Jpdge Aspinnll said to-day that the defendant was clearly guilty of the offense. Greenstein opened the door aad eut into the store. The defendant was behind the counter, removing doming from the shelves, having already put up $100 worth of good. The defendant ran to the rear of the store md into the hallway, the door leading to it having been already smSrhed in with a jimmy.

Greenstein wus outside and called Stop thief!" One Nourlck ran over and in the hallway grappled with the defendant. The netv hat of the defendant nas found near the rear hall door. The defendant said he went into the hallway to get ont of the rain. He said he came to Brooklyn to see his cousin. Fanny, bnt couldnt tell her last name.

Hia Honor say that his right to discharge the jury and dispense with their services for the week, is undoubted. A Russian Admirer of Emerson. Ambassador Andrew D. White has aa article in the May Century" on "A Russian Statesman. This is a sketch of Constantine Fohedonnstzeff.

He is a wide reader, and in the whole breadth of his reading American authors were evidently among those he preferred. Of these.

Hawthorne, Lowell, and, above all, Emerson, were his favorites. Curious, indeed, was it to learn that this arch-persecutor, this "Torquetnada of the nineteenth century, this man whose hand is especially heavy upon Catholic end Protestants and dissenter throughout the empire, whose name is spoken with abhorrence by millions, within the empire and without it, still reads as his favorite author the philosopher of Concord! He told me that the first book which he ever translated into Russian was Thomas Kempis "Imitation of Christ, and of that he gave me the Latin original from which he had made bis translation, with a copy of the translation itself. He also told me ta tthe next book which he translated was a volume of Emerson's essays, and be added that for years there had always Iain open upon his study table a volume of Enter-! son's writings.

United State. Though the present building seemed lar-e at first, it was now- taxed to the utmost, and the Indications were that larger and better equipped quarters would be necessary within two year. A lAfga portion of the success of the college wij due, he said, to the hearty and harmonidna co-operation of the faculty, which he highly commended. Departments of toxicology and hygiene hare been added during the past year.

A course of elementary arithmetic, which was found to be tnnch needed, had been also instituted.

What Hypnotism Really Is. Whatever explanation of hypnotism we feel inclined to adopt, it is erident that, aa a matter of science, this condition cannot be separated from the analogous staffs to which I have referred.

Things cease to be wonderful when you can find parallels for them, and when we aee in hypnotism merely a further expression of the brain byway which has led us through sleep and dreams to sleep walking, we have allocated to It true position in the series of mental phenomena whereof it forms part. Hypnotism, indeed, has benn well styled "artificially induced somnambulism, for the phenomena of the one atate are analogous to those of the other, and the action performed by the sleep walker run parallel- to those we can induce at will in the mesmeric subject. That which we do effect in hypnotism ia essentially the inhibition of th upper brain. We switch off the cerebrum temporarily from its command of the body, and allow the central ganglia, under the influence of suggestion, to come to the front in the mental life of the individual. Any rational theory of mesmerism must take such facta into account.

On this basis alone ia hypnotism to be scientifically explained. Reject-ing some such views of its canaation, hypnotism cannot be explained at all, and in the latter case it will pass inevitably into the domain of the quack, who, with his high-sounding jargon, mystifies, the ignorant, and adds another aad very considerable portion to the already lofty edifice of human folly and credulity.
