CONCERT AT CARDIGAN
The people of Cardigan have Jong b@en noted for their liberality in promoting a good cause. Never was this beautiful trait of character more strikingly portray- ed than in the event of the concert held in Cardigan hall Monday evening. The objeci of the concert was to render assistance to the poor of the parish. The zealous pas- tor, Rev. Dr. McMillan, spared no pains to bring this entertainment to a_ suc-
cessful isue, and he had the extreme satisfaction of seeing his efforts crowned with success. In this
laudable undertaking he was ably sup- ported by his parishioners, together with members of other denominations. Some foreign talent was also present. Before the hour for opening arrived the hall was com- fortably filled, and the expectant audience eagerly awaited the rise of ibe curtain. Finally the “ sweet sounds of music” fell upon the ear, the curtain was raised, and thus was begun the rendition of the fol- lowing PROGRAMME : 1.

Accompanists — Misses Barbara Mc- Donald, Bessie Burke and Marie McDon- ald,
Each number was exquistely rendered and received its due shure of applause. The instrumental music was of a high order and was ekilfully executed. Mr. McDonald’s address on “Civilization” was short, pointed ard perspicuous, and “brought down the house.” The Misses Stewart, sang in their usual good style and were forced to respond to an encore. Mrs. Fraser sang excellently, and the audience insisted on her re-appearing. Miss Bessie Burke, whose reputation as an elocutionist has long been astablished in Cardigan, almost surpassed herself in rendering her very appropriate number. The audience was not satisfied until she bad recompensed them for their hearty ant leng-continued applause. The vocal solos by Misses O’Keefe, McDonald and R ady were rendered in a manner that retlected great credit on the performers, and each was forced to respond to repeated encores The manner iu which the choruses were rendered showed that great care had been taken in selecting them, and that much attention had been given to their prepara- tion. Decidedly the part that most tickled the risibilities of the very appreciative audience was the farce, * Tuat Rascal Pat.” Whilst each part was well taken, that of “Pat” was excep- exceptionally well played. Every time he said “‘Look there, Nancy,” he made a hit. Taken all in all the concert was a credit to Dr. McMillan and his co-workers, and the audience dispersed unanimou:ly pro- nouncing it the best ever given in Cardig- an. Toall those who assisted in making the entertainment a success ample thanks are returned, likewise to those who en- encouraged the performance by their pres- ence and appreciation. Moreover, Tue Examiner is tendered the sincere thanks of the good people of Cardigan for the valu- able assistance it afforded t'e entertain- ment. The sum realized was about $40.

Cleopatra had blue eyes. She was not an Egyptian, but a Greek, with yellow hair and fair complexion.
Reptiles and fishes are not generally pro- vided with eyelids, these protections being to them unnecessary.
Fishes are not provided with lachrymal skins, their watery habitation render these appendages unnecessary.
Eyes of which the whole of the iris is visible belong to erratic persons, often with a tendency toward insanity.

A HISTORY OF CUBA.
Spain colonized the island in 1511.
In 1534 and again in 1554 Havana was destroyed by the French.
Matanzas was the first city to fall into the hands of the insurgents.
Cruelty and injustice to the natives has always been the creed of the Spaniards.
The present revolution began February 24, 1895, when the republic was proclaim- ed by Marti.
In 1848 President Polk offered Spain $1,000,000 for the island, which offer was refused.
The constitution of Cuba, modeled on that of the United States, was adopted September 23, 1895.
The revolution of 1868 lasted ten years before Spain succeeded in compromising by promising reforms.
A triangular blue union, having a single star and five stripes, three of red and two of white, is the flag of the republic.
Very little reliable news of the present insurrection can be obtained, owing to the censorship of the press and the mendacity of the leaders of both sides.
The first serious revolution took place in 1848, under the leadership of Narciso Lopez, who in 1851 repeated his attempts to free the island from Spanish control.

When the body of the Emperor Napoleon was prepared for burial at St. Helena in May, 1821, the heart was removed by a medical officer, whe kept it all night in his own rocm and under his own eye ina wine glass. The noise of the crystal breaking aroused him, not from sleep, but rather from a waking doze, and he started forward to see the heart in the clutches of a huge brown rat, which was dragging it across the floor toa hole. One story runs that he rescued it, but there is a grewsome tradition that it had been so gnawed and bitten as to be unrecognizable, and that the doctor was fain to substitute the heart of a sheep, which he soldered up in a silver urn filled with spirits and placed in the coffin.
It is a strange thought that the heart of a sheep, proverbially one of the most timid of animals, could be handed down to posterity as that of one of the bravest, most ruth] ss and most in- domitable human leings who ever lived!
