Once, twice she read the letter
through then, with white face and tear
less eyes, held It to the match with
steady hand. nor let it fall until the flame
crept so close that it blackened the ten
der flesh and the letter lay singed and
cliarred under her feet. That day she
went into her grandfather's room and
laid her head on his. "Don't talk to
me, grandpa" she said, "and don't ask
me any questions, but we will keep
house alone, you and /, and we'll forget
that we intended to let anybody else in"

Hotel Life in Cuba is by no means
what it should be. The hotels are de-
cidedly dirty. There is no clean hotel
in Havana, and those most frequented
by foreigners seem, if possible, to be
the dirtiest. 1t is said that in visiting
any place where Spanish is the language,
the safe way is to go to the newest hotel.
The day is begun with fruit and coffee
ataboutseven in themorning. Breakfast,
a very substantial meal, with wine and a
dessert of sweetmeats, follows at noon
about eleven, and dinner from six to
seven. The best cooks are Chinese.
There is q great deal Of dram drinking
among the people, Gin is the favorite
liquor, and large quantities of it are
sold, but 1 did not see anywhere man
drunk. Smoking is as universal and
constant as breathing, but l saw no
ladies smoking, though no one refrains
because they are present. Cigarettes
are more frequently used than cigars.
No apology is required for introducing
them, and no one asks his visitor or
companion to join him in smoking be-
cause he assumes that the visitor has his
own tobacco in his pocket and would
light his cigarette il he wished to do so.
The only places where one can't smoke
are the churches and the theaters. A
the opera saw man who had begun
to smoke in the parquet compelled to
quit the indulgence but at the same
time q cloud Of smoke blown from one
Of the private boxes back of the prosce-
mum excited no attention whatever. In
the railroad cars everybody smokes
without restraint, and special car for
the purpose would be ridiculous. Nico-
tine poisoning has no terror to the

"I'lI Take Care of C@Sar,"

Ex-Gov Thomas A. Hendricks, now
en- route for Mexico, told q Kansas City
reporter very good story about an old
friend in st. Louis. Said he +; "Late
one evening last year Col Don Morrison
and party of boon companions were
returning home from downtown, where
they had been enjoying whist and wine.
Pausing in front of his elegant residence
Col. Don insisted upon the party's com
ing in and taking aparting glass. "No,
no, Don we'll go home" "Its very
late, and we won't keep you up" These
and similar expostulations were made,
but Col. Don kept on insisting. At last
one of the gentlemen suggested that
maybe Mrs. Morrison might object.
The colonel seemed deeply offended by
this. He drew himself up proudly and
said scornfully, "Now youshall come in,
for / intend TO show you that L am
Caesar in this housep Scarcely had he
uttered this proud declaration than a
second-stoiy window raised and femi-
nine voice, cold and cutting, rang out
on the pale air; "You are right, gentle
men go home to your wives. I'll take
care OF Cesar OF course the party
went home, and Col. Don pensiyely
retired.

Rotten Row, the famous ride of HYDE
Park, and the delight of fashionable
Londoners, is about two hundred yards
short of mile in length, and triae
less than forty yards in breadth. 1t oc-
cupies district apart from the main
park it is entered only at its two ends
it is crossed by no road, and during
promenade hours no one is allowed to
cross it on foot The carriage entrances
to Hyde Park are here abreast of the
fashionable quarter of London, and are
twice as far apart as those provided for
Central Park. There is no carriage
road adjoining the Row it is separated
in most of its length by the Serpentine
water from the fashionable drive and
from the more attractive rural parts of
the park. No one goes near it except
at the ends, unless it is TO ride or see
the nding. Owing to these circum-
stances great freedom can be allowed in
its use. 1t is common to gallop from
end to end of it; there is no fixed limit
of speed, and the police are instructed
only to check at discretion dangerous

Avoid Slnnder.

None of us are perfect, and we have
no right therefore to expect perfection
in others. So if you cannot speak well
of your neighbors, do not speak Of them
at all. A cross neighbor may be made
q kind one by kind treatment. The
way to be happy is to make others hap
py. To do good is a luxury, If you
are not wiser and better at the end Of
the day, that day is lost. Practice kind
ness, even if It be but to speak. one
word. Do not seem to be what you are
not. Learn to control your temper and
your words. Say nothing behind ones
back that you would not say to his
face. This habit of retieence, beside
being kindly one, is safe. AIuny a
bitter harvest has been T'eap6d from
thoughtless words Of censure,

The Man who Went West.


1t is stated that the center of popula-
tion moves westward at the rate of
ninety feet day, and is slowly passing
across the southern portion of Ohio. 1t
is evident, therefore, that the gorgeous
East" to which the West has hitherto
looked for its literature and lucre, its
manufactures and arts, its pedagogues
and pills, its capital and culture, is fast
losing its grip, and if it were to be sunk
out of existence tomorrow, or raised
out of sight in its own estimation, the
West would merely pause to say tra-la-
lu, and keep right on with its work
The loss of thirteen Congressman to
the East, and a gain of nineteen to the
West by the recent census, shows where
the crowd is rushing, and in ten years
more the East will be taken under the
wing of the West, and the West will see
that no harm comes to it. We feel sorry
for the East 1t has always done as well
as it knew how, and there has never
been time when it would not sell us
dry goods and Yankee notions and take
it out in wheat, or loan money on farm
at ten per cent. If its people generally
cannot yet regard the West as anything
but howling wilderness, where the In
dian and the wild bison roam at will,
instead of land possessing the refine
ments of enlightened civilization, why
then it is their misfortune and not their
fault.
No enmity can ever come between the
two sections, for very many of the
wealthy farmers of the West, who own
broad and fertile acres, will never for
get that their early manhood was passed
amid the steep and rocky hillsides of
the East, where corn was planted with
mallet and cold chisel, and, after be-
ing washed out by rains a couple OF
times, grew and fourished to the height
of two and even three feet, with an ear
on almost every stalk. No one who is
worthy the name of man ever forgets
the scenes of his boyhood. But the cot
ton factories of the East are passing to
the South and Southwest, where they
will be nearer the source of the raw
material; the publication of books, which
nobody ever supposed could be done
anywhere except in the East, has sud
denly been begun in the West, and two
million dollars worth were executed
with neatness and dispatch in one West
em city alone in 1880; Eastern illus
trated papers, rejecting the culture,
humor and police doings of the country,
still hold their own, but their time will
come; Eastern pills, which have drained
so much money from the West and
built so many palaces in the East, yet
have grip upon the affections of our
people; but their influence is weaken
ing, and pad factories are springing up
and manhood is being restored right
here in the West by Western firms; car
factories are coming nearer to Western
iron and wood every day; our Touring
mills, which already make flour enough
for paste, are increasing in number and
capacity, and the woods are full of saw
mills; we shall need Eastern oil and
coal little longer, until way is found
to decompose water, and then we shall
have no favors to ask, and the East must
not recognize us when we meet on the
street,

How TO lIAin Health.

What is more charming in all Natures
dominion than thoroughly healthy
woman-a bright-eyed, rosy, happy girl
who finds keen pleasure in merely liv-
ing There is nothing charming in i'll
ness, An invalid wife and mother fur
nishes constant spectacle of sadness
and misery to her family and friends,
and subject of unlimited expense to
her husband. In such home the great
est Of all blessings that could be hoped
for would be the health of the mistress
restored; but too often it is the one
blessing that never comes. American
homes, more than any other, perhaps, in
the world, have been saddened by sickly
women. If this shall be so no longer,
it will be n great blessing to the nation.
And the remedy is simple, American
men are as strong and healthy as those
of other nations there is no good reason
why American women should not be.
All that is needed is proper attention to
dress and exercise. Let women dress,
as men do, so that their bodies shall not
be squeezed and pressed together, but
have free room for motion, and let them
60 out into the air and sunshine, as men
do, and exercise their bodies, and the
race of American women will not be-
come extinct, but be improved, built up
