In Havana little or no greenery is visi-
BILE except as one gets glimpse into the
interior of the dwellings, for they are all
built alike, usually one story, with an in
ner court filed with banana plants,
palmettos, and the various broad-leaved
fora of the topics. These houses present
a striking appearance TO the stranger, the
windows being barred, while the front
door is made bullet-proof and consists of a
door large enough to drive through, and a
small door cut into it for the foot passen-
ger. This broad doorway is used as the
grand passageway, and the family
carriages and horses are kept in this great
hall Of entrance. The houses are Of stone
or brick, covered with a sort Of mortar,
and the whole calcimined in pink, white,
or blue, giving an exceptional and beautiful
appearance in the distance and under a
strong sunlight.
But what can be said of the streets, the
busiest of which range from ten to fifteen
feet in width, and sidewalks from eight
inches personal measurement) to three
feetl The filthy habits Of the people rem
der these streets as noisome as our worst
alleys, an eXecrable mixture of stenches
prevailing the larger part of the city. Be
yond the old wall where the newer por-
tion of the city is built, an Improvement is
noticeable. There we can stroll in the
Prado, magnificent promenade lined
with laurels, and in the evening most
brilliantly ablaze with gas.-Cor. Chicago

The Gaming Tables at Monaco.

The prospectus of the Societe Anonyms
les Baius ct du Cercle DIES Etrangers a
Monaco, tells us that the capital is $4,000
francs, in shares of 800 francs each, and
hat 10000 OF these shares ar now TO be
offered in England at the price Of EGO per
share, or three times their par value The
company was Incorporated in 1853, and
bought the gaming and other privileges
granted to Mr.. Francis Blanc by His
Serene Highness the Prince Of Monaco" F"
These privileges were TO endure for fifty
years, SO that they have twenty-seven still
to run. Between 1877 and 1855 the total
profits distributed as dividend by the COM
pany have aggregated f2,9i4OOJ, which is
more than the entire capital by nearly a
million. In 1884 the dividend was % per
cent; whoever loses at the gaming tables
in Monaco the company which keeps the
bank does not. Before buying the shares,
however-apart from all questions OF NOR
ality-it would be prudent TO consider
whether Italy or France, or both countries
together, will long tolerate these gaming
tables at their doors.-Chicago lSibune.

Mexico and Its Population.

The people Of Mexico by some are said 10
number l0,0OO,0O by Others S,00J,0OO. OF
these probably seven-eights are Of Aztec
and the Others of Spanish and other foreign
origin. The Spanish are still the controll-
ing race. They are mainly intelligent and
wealth, and manage TO hold the reigns Of
government. The franchise is restricted
toa comparatively small number of the
ruling classes, and hence the emeutes and
revolutions which have been a frequent oc-
currence in Mexican history. The de-
scendants Of the Indians are quiet,
peace-loving people, and do nearly all the
manual labor Of the country. The climate
is SO genial that they do not need many
dry goods and apparently their mode of
life has not changed much since the days
OF the Montezumas. Sandals, with single
blouse and trousers, satisfy the men; and
q calico slip and perhaps a blanket about
the loins, with bare feet, constitute the
dress Of the women. They are all fond of
gay colors, and, when at a distance and
not too closely scanned, look picturesque
perhaps some would say beautiful
They have adobe huts for their homes, but
these are mainly valuable in storms, for
they live mostly out If doors. A visit to

Tn. Many Troubles ofa President.

There is "A Congressional bill proposing an
addition 70 the White House by putting
on wing at the back, There is no doubt
that the White House is too small, but IL
Is question as to whether this is the best
way to remedy the evil. II would be far
better TO make new presidential resi-
dence somewhere else in the suburbs in
Washington and to use the present White
House solely as the business offices of the
president. AS 1T is now, the cabinet Off
GERS can fix their hours Of work. and so
can any other man In Washington, except
the president. The cabinet officer works
from o'clock until 4, and after he has left
his department no one thinks Of going to
his house to bother him. The president
cannot get away from his business. The
people feel that they have the right to call
upon him at all hours Of the day and far
into the night, and the result is that he
has no rest whatsoever. The White
House is too small for the social entertain
ments which are held in il. There are
scores of places about Washington where
q residence for the president could bo
built.-"Carp," in Cleveland Leader

Of cultivation is not difficult. IL should
be planted in hills four feet apart, so AS TO

tiyation will not answer, as IL interferes

more in length. 1t should he planted in
February or March, having been first cut

Extraordinary Memory of Pianist.

Won Bulow, the pianist, has an extraor-
ilinary memory. No man living can ap-
proach him, probably, in the power of car
rying an orchestral or piano score in his
head. AT a recent series of piano recitals
in London he played the whole of Beetho-
yen's thrty-three sonatas, five or six each
night; and he played them all from men,
ory. And when he conducted, as maestro,
the four-night performance of Wagner's
famous "Niebelungen Lied" standing be-
fore the orchestra and directing the entire
delivery of that most voluminous and in
tricate composition, he did it without a
scrap Of print before him. = Chicago

Market Day In Costa Rica.

Saturday is market day in San Jose, and
people come In from the country some
times thirty or more miles. In my ride
out TO the small village OF Alajulta this
morning l met crowds Of women with
straw or felt hats, which they held in their
hands, while on the head were the custom
ary burdens of some sort of produce for
the markets, bright shawls and rebosas
over their shoulders, fiaring and balloon
shaped calico dresses and bare feet, plod-
ding their way into the city. Some of the
women are young and handsome, with
black eyes, long black hair braided in
tresses; others were wrinkled, careworn
and ugly. Inever, not even in Switzer-
land, saw so many women with necks de-
formed by the goitre. suppose it must be
the tremendous loads on their head and
the fixed position that produces the de-
formity. Besides the women were also
men and boys, all eagerly pushing along,
each a bundle Of something to sell. Carts
loaded with wood, sugar cane and other
commodities also filed along. and the
poorest peasant would touch his hat and
wish me buenos dios. The people are ex-
traordinarily polite, docile and apparently
contented.-Costa Rica Cor. Kansas City

The Tippecanoe Clubs of 1870.

There never was greater party delu-
sion during that successful campaign of the
great Whig party than the emblematic
display they made. There was no attempt
on their part to discuss the policy Of the
respective candidates or the principles Of
a government. With their cider barrels
on wheels, the rolling Of big balls, their
coons in cages, their coonskin caps and the
log cabin or caucus hall, together with
their uniformed companies, with COON

whelmed all argument, carried the masses

Some Strange Experiments In Hypnotism.

M. Liegeois, professor in the medical
faculty of Nancy, well known by his re-
searches on hypnotism, has made expert
ments to ascertain the possibility of max
ing hypnotized persons forget names and
yet feel the desire of recalling them. Two
medical students, one Of them lady, and
both exceptionally intelligent, submitted
to experiment. While they were asleep it
was suggested to them tnat they had for
gotten proper names; on awakening
they could not remember one, not
even their own. NJ. Liegeois asked the
lady to write her name: she could write
the first letter L,) but could not remem-
Der the others. The male student tried to
help her. and with great deal Of trouble
and hesitation, they succeeded in writing
the name entire. As soon as they turned
their eyes from the paper they forgot it.
NJ Liegeois made several other expert
ments, equally successful They were
told they could repeat a proper name once
and il was impossible TO make them re-
it twice. 1t was suggested to them that
they could use the infinitive Of verbs.
They Immediately began TO talk ~nigger

With waving yellow hair.
