From Barbados to Trinidad.

Where summer is most constant-in
these equatorial regions where no cold
comes-rheumatisms are prevalent, be-
cause of the high humidity. Last winter
II party of tourists sat upon a steamers
deck, making the passage between Barba-
dos and Trinidad, a days run. A tropical
moon shone Respondent, soft breezes
from sparkling sea famed the deck lazily,
and beds were long unsought. In the
morning four Of the six men were suffer
ing from lumbago, and the writer, who
should have known better than to expose
himself in so foolish a way, was deco
rated with porous plasters for a week.
Night air is carefully avoided by natives
OF those lands, and it is a wise plan to fol-
low native customs as a rule. To make
amends for losing night hours, they rise
very early, and long before northern
breakfast time lay taken coffee and gone
to business William F. Hutchinson, NJ.

Rights of the Crown.

Many old laws in the English statutes,
although held in allegiance, are still of
legal form, and among them is the right
IF the crown to all gold and silver mines
within the British isles. Recently some
fairly valuable gold quartz mines were
discovered Oh the estate of Pritchard Nor
gan in North Wales, and the question
arises whether the owner of the land can
work the minerals to his W benefit.
There can be no doubt that the right of
property in gold and silver mines wher-
ever they be within the realms is in the
crown, unless the crown has released its
right, not by granting mines-that is not
enough-but by granting mines royal.
The origin of the right is said to be that
the king has the gold and silver for max
ing the coinage, n so far is the preroga-
tive from being obsolete that it has been
regulated by two acts of parliament in the
reign of William and Mary and one in
1919, and as recent as 1877 it was recog-
nized by Lord Blackburn as in full force
in an appeal from the colony of Victoria
San FRANCISCO Chronicle "~Undertones.n

Cavalry of the confederacy.

The cavalry of the Confederate States
was different in its organization and char
acter to any cavalry that has been seen in
modern war. The infantry regiments If
the south possessed, though in less de-
gree than those of the north, some nu-
cleus Of trained or partially trained men
in the various militia organizations.
With the cavalry the case was different.
The number of cavalrymen who on join
ing their commands knew anything about
cavalry tactics was extremely small. But
on two essential points they needed no
instruction; all knew how to ride, and
all were familiar with the use Of their
weapons.
With the northern man it was as a
general rule, otherwise: he had nearly
always to be taught how to ride, and he
had generally to be taught how to shoot.
Thus it happened that from the opening
of hostilities the southern trooper showed
his superiority over his northern oppo-
nent-a superiority which he maintained
until the ceaseless attrition of war re-
duced the cavalry commands of the Con-
federacy to mere skeletons-actually as
well as metaphorically-and enabled the
northern horsemen to prevail by virtue Of
overwhelming numbers, sufficient sup
plies and the training which they had &C
quired through years of campaigning,
which had been, till near the close, gen
orally disastrous to them.-New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

Some time ago, in my readings, I
learned of a test made among some lum-
Der men in the far north. One had given
an account, sitting around the camp fire,
of how Il companion had committed sui
eide in AT ingenious way. He had taken
II board, probably six inches wide, and,
lying fiat, face downward, had placed it
upright under his throat, then stretching
his arms straight alongside his body, had
borne down with his neck. Unconscious
ness followed in a few seconds, and he
died an apparently painless death. The
story was received by the lumbermen
with in~credulity, and l suggested IL be
tried. One of the party volunteered, and
the arrangements were made and carried
ont as l had mentioned in relating the
suicide. The man had remained in the
position only n very few seconds when we
hurriedly raised him and let the plank
tall. He was unconscious, and it was
some little time before he responded to
Il labors to revive him and opened his
eyes. We were greatly relieved, l can
tell you. In describing his feelings, he
said he had experienced a rush of blood to
the head and a su~ffocating sensation, bat
was powerless to move any of his limbs
or release himself.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

To the gold hunter Pixies Peak proved
to be the gateway to the wealth of the
Rocky mountains. To many an invalid
it has proved to be the gateway to new
life. Here, 5000 feet above the sea, the
pure, dry air, the strong, warm sunshine,
the beautiful surroundings, have drawn
together n town of 1000 inhabitants.
Strangers frequently emark that u
mountains are so forbidding in aspect,
have so little beauty, that one could never
learn to love them. In a short time this
opinion is changed or forgotten, and it is
a noticeable fact among u townspeople
that in the matter of liking or disliking
their mountain home there is no half way
measure, they love it strongly or not at
all. To n lover of nature the barrenness
and seeming impenetrability of our mount
aims prove al irresistible charm, a fascina-
ton and a study hat becomes every day
more interesting. From dawn to dark
they are constantly changing; Pixies
Peak, more than 1900 feet high, signals
the coming sun long before the city at his
feet has awakened to the new day.-Cor.

"Did you ever see a mourning ringY'
asked a Maiden lane jeweler of a reporter
the other day. "Wen, here is one"
1t is q heavy gold band, perfectly plain,
and with a seal in the shape of q coffin.
1t has a glass face, through which can be
seen a skeleton in gold. On the inside Of
the ring is the inscription, in black enamel,
giving the initials of the deceased and the
date of death.
"These designs were used over a CEN
fury Ago., and now they are to be revived
as the latest fad. Some young widows,
who find it difficult to indicate their be-
reavement when indoors, with hat and
flowing veil removed, take advantage of
the ring to announce to susceptible young
men that they have returned to the mat
rimonial market. They need not look
melancholy. A turn of the finger and the
sad news is told"
"Do men use them?"
"Most assuredly. Widowers have nc
way of announcing their loss except by
the band on their hats. With a mourn
ing ring all embarrassing inquiries re.
garding the deceased wife may be avoided,
and knowledge of the widower's restored
eligibility quickly and neatly impaired. ~

A Common Error Corrected.

The common error that because a thing
grows out of the ground it is peculiarly
"a work of nature" and therefore of ne
cessity beautiful, is a most fruitful source
of failure in gardening and landscape. In
this light it seems almost a heresy to
state the fact that many of our garden
flowers are as much the work of man as
are aniline dyes, for instance, and that
n may be as atrocious in color as the
other. Akin to this error is the idea that
things which may be excellent and beau
tiful in themselves must be correspond
ingly excellent and beautiful in conjunc-

realm have a reputation, in other lands,

made may be of admirable quality, and
even beautiful in themselves, but an array

Trying the Engineers Courage.

The fast runs out of Chicago are all
night runs, and it is night run that tries
the engineers courage. Driving ahead at
a mile a minute into a sea of darkness,
which human eye cannot penetrate is
work such as no cowardly or even timid
man could perform.
Among engine drivers there are bold
men and timid men, but only the former
were selected for these fast runs. A timid
man, prone to shut of steam for every
shadow seen on the track, or for every
imaginary danger, for engineers are called
upon continually to beat back their own
apprehensions, could never make time on
a u like one of these limited trains to
the west. Some of the best and bravest
engineers in the world are on these foot
plates, and In this climate and under the
disadvantages besetting them they will
find enough to try their mettle. Chicago
