The Financial Crash in Cuba.

1ofnui0dor0 jUhn D5anvn, oOrAnraad
inc steamerAIity of Puebla; ] was at
| Havana when the financial avalanche
began to fall last month, and house after
house has gone down, 1t will be q
memorable Black Friday for Cuba. The
failure of the Havana Savings Bank, or
Gaia de Ahorros, was a great blow to
everybody, and the suicide of its presi-
dent, Joaquin Limendoux, added to the
intense excitement. William Redding,
the great horse dealer, who is a friend
Of mine, went into the bank to draw
$51, 600, and Mr.. Limendoux asked him
to wait a moment. The next instant a
signal was made from the directors room
AID Mr.. Limendoux threw up his hands
and announced that the bank had sus-
pended. He raised a revolver and fired
the fatal shot through his brain. Mr..
Limendoux was little owe fifty years
of age and was held in high esteem by all
the Havanes. The bank was supposed
to be fortified with between $40, 000,-
600 and $50, 900, 600. 1t was a Cuban
institution, and some of the Spanish
houses bore such a strong enmity to it
that it is asserted that they tried TO
break it down. The closing of the large
house of Mcclellan, Luling & Co. was
another surprise. They were agents
for the Wards line Of steamers, and
when the announcement came that the
agency had been transferred to Todd,
Hidalgo & Co., Mr.. Luling's magnifi-
cent house in the Vedado was closed.
Mr.. Luling was very popular and gave
elegant entertainments which the
Havanese will miss. He was also
popular on the Havana turf, and was
frequently seen on the grand course at
Mananas, a summering place of Havana.

when There We're nc Matches.

Young and even m~iddle-aged people,
accustomed to the convenience OF the
modern lucifer match, can hardly inn
agine the time when the t~indeTSbox,
with its clumsy flint and steel and brsad
birthstone matches, was the only means
of procuring a light. Some people were
more skillful than others in striking Q
light and blowing the spark and match
to q flame but often on a wintry morn

was abeut fifteen inches long, and was
burnt in a huge perforated shade; il was
the 'farthing rush-light" which very

II 4 writer In the New Iork World re
Gently had a talk with an old ~graye-dig.
/ ger, and drew from MIN some interest
ing observations upon the question ~
to who manifest the most grief When
death enters the domestic circle and
carries off the loved nes of the house
hold. He remarked:
A mother who loses her first child is
about as sad a sight you would care ia
see at the grave, and l am positive there
is no grief equal to hers; next the
daughter over the loss of either OF hel
parents, or the parents Yer the loss OF
their daughter; then the husband over
tie loss of his wife, and lastly the wife
over the death of her husband. As fol
relatives any more distant than these,
the grief is of short duration. Ofcourse,
there are exceptions tc
this rule, but 1 am speak
ing generally. l have seen lovers stand
by the graves of their betrothed and
weep with more earnestness and show
the grief that filled their hearts to q
much greater extent than did any par
emit. 4 young lady pledged in marriage
to a gentleman will show the most un.
comfortable sorrow and will often swooD
at the grave, but after marriage she Is
the first to get over it. L think a mans
grief is more lasting. Let me show
you. Here is a little three-year-old
child's grave; see how neat it looks and
how fresh the flowers are. They were
placed there by a poor mother; now on
this side is a husbands grave, On the
slab it a V he was but 26 years old. /
dug that grave, and that cross of flowers
was placed there on the day of the fun
eral, and the wife has not been here since.
Now walk up this path a little way and
I'll show you q wife's grave. But wait,
see that young girl owe near the big
walk cleaning twigs off of thai grave
with the wooden cross? Her mother is
buried there and has been for five years
but every week, when the weather per-
mits, she comes here to attend to it.
Now, here's the wife's grave, and that
neat little headstone and flowers were
placed there by her husband. He's a
poor brakeman on the railroad, and she
has been dead for three years, but you
drop in here any Sunday when he's of
and you'll find him here, cutting the
grass around it or doing something to-
ward making it look neat, and paying
what little tribute he can to her who
must have been so dear to him.

The Birthday Of the Eternal City

Rome Letter in the Baltimore Sun.
In order to give increased eclat 70 the
opening Of the National Exhibition az
Turin, it is now proposed that Turn
shall send tribute to Rome on the conn
ing anniversary Of the eternal city, April
Il, when she will enter upon the 2607th
Year Of her age. Down through q vast
and varied avenue of centuries the great
anniversary has always been honorably
kept. Before Christianity the palallia
and floral games marked this day. In
the time OF the Popesi it has always been
a day Of civic feasts. The revival Cf
learning and art Is marked by q custo-
mary and distinct celebration, under the
auspices Of the ancient Roman Academy
Of Archaeology, the first Of its kind ~
Europe. One event that marks the an
niycrsary birthday Of Rome is the grand
banquet. On the evening Of this ban
quot April 2I) an essay is read, and
with it also a description Of Rome's
celebration IN past centuries. The city

now to Boil water

i. Fror1 the New York Tg'I5ss.- n,,,.ss
tell you the old story of how the
Charles Deimonico useG TO talk about
the new hot water cure. He said ii.
Delmonicos We're the first to recon.
mend it to guests who complained a
having no appetite. Take q cnYg q
hot water and lemon and you will saal
better" was the formula adopted. AMI.
the cup Of hot water and lemon iu;es
was simply a little hot water with :.
drop of lemon juice in it to take awaV
the insipidity. For this anti bilious rem.
edy the caterers charged the price of
their best iiquors-25 cents
or more-and it certainly was 4
wiser way to spend small
change han in alcohol. Sew peopIa
know how to cook water Charles used
to affirm. "The secret is in putting
good fresh water into O neat kettle al
ready quite warm, and setting the wa.
ter to boiling quickly, and then taking
it right off for use in tea, coffee, or 9th.
er drinks before it is spoiled. To let II
steam and simmer and evaporate until
the good water is in the atmosphere
and the lime and iron and dregs onlvo
left in the kettle-bah! that is what
makes a great many people sick, and is
worse than no water at ALL" Every Ia.
dy who reads this valuable receipt of a
great and careful cook should never
forget how to cook water.

Inc recent moods out west were very

the cost of repairing pianos was esti-
mated at so, 900. Pianos have not as

$3,747, $50 more than in the last half OF

latter amounting to $1,816,390, or "a

"Fain" signifies Joyful" or "glad."
Yet there are writer's who strangely mis-

something else instead, these writer's
