Curiositx overcomes Ave.

Little Gertrude, in the course Of her
four years OF existence, had never seen q
colored person. Therefore when Pro-
fessor Cicero Peters-whose speciality is
legion, and who whitewashes one day and
puts down carpets the next, thus making
extremes meet-came to her house in
spring cleaning times, her first sensation
was awe, which gave way to curiosity
when she perceived that the dark hued
visitor, so FAR from being an ogre, was
disposed to be big playfellow. After
the professor had laughed and joked and
told stories, Gertrude ventured upon q
startling personal inquiry:
''Mr. Peters, have you any little tar
babies at homer
To say that Professor Peters laughed
would but family describe the effect Of
the question. Dentists show windows
seemed to leap up in his mouth in rapid
succession, one after another; and for
hours afterward he was heard to calculate
"tah babies" at five minute intervals

Strange Righta I'm Cubn.

In Havana bay there are certainly 1000
lighters constantly in use, 30 that 5000
men are thus employed and at least Is, 900
souls thus comfortably sustained. Most
of these folk live over at Regla, just back
of the Santa Catalina wharves or the still
quainter Gale Baluarte quarter, and in the
narrow streets and through and about their
queer old abodes some of the strangest
sights you ever witnessed will be seen.
Children Of all colors and caste and ages
disport naked among hairless dogs, ag-
gressive goats, demure donkeys and all
manner of fowl, with the utmost inno-
cence, content and good nature. Little is
needed to sustain life, hence happy hearted
ness among them Is universal. Night or
day, for nearly all the year, the only real
effort is made to get outside of clothing;
and last Sunday morning, when ! was
wandering in the vicinity Of the little
old Regla market, actually stepped over
fourteen naked sleeping women and chill
dren lying in all sorts Of pastures on land
ings, along galleries and at the doors of
little alcobas. Some Of them opened
their handsome eyes bit, but none
moved or seemed in the least disconnected
by the intrusion. l.. Wakeman's

There are few neighborhoods that do
not have their smart man. At least they
have man who, In his own estimation,
embodies the brains and information Of
the world. No occupation pleases him
better than the asking Of catch questions
queries that he has given his whole at
tention, to the exclusion of more useful in
formation that would In general have
added largely to his influence IL not to his
income. Nothing pleases him better than
to find some one who has earned q reputa-
ton for depth and width Of learning re-
moved from the ordinary unable to an
swer some simple question that has been
learned and forgotten ten years before.
Such man, In speaking Of q mutual ac-
quaintance, said TO n reporter: "Do you
call that man SMART Why, nsked him
something that he could not answer. =" The
scribe looked at him and asked: "How

wraps called serapes. The numerous
peddlers have nothing but serapes to sell.
A few hours further down the road, at the
station Of Queretaro the stock In trade OF
the platform vendors is opals, nothing but
opals. At Celaya fifty men and boys
thrust boxes of 'dulces" in ones face and
will not take refusal to buy, as long as
the train stops. The dulces are sweet,
paste like compounds, favored with pine
apple and other fruits. They are offered
in little, round wooden boxes, and are
of all sorts Of colors. The round
boxes are assorted, according to
fiavors, and packed In long boxes OF
varying sizes and prices. Celaya Is
known all over the republic for its sweets.
Within two hours ride Of Celaya Is Ira
puato, where Strawberries can be bought
at the station every month in the year.
The peddlers have nothing but strawber-
ries, but they always have them put up In
quart, two quart and three quart home
made baskets of willow-great, luscious
berries. Probably the fruit could be cul
tivated with equal success elsewhere, but
1t isn't. Irapuato has the monopoly OF
strawberries. Even Mexicans, passing
through and going 500 miles beyond, buy
q basket of strawberries at Irapuato, just
as they always get of at San Juan de
Rio, further down the road, to buy lari
ats. There is little rope walk in front
of nearly every house at San Juan de
Rio, and the people do scarcely anything
but manufacture lariats the year round
