The changed condition OF society brought

made possible n club where men of either
and neither party might meet without cease
less p%romptings to the rancor of political
feeling or national pride. The Union club
thus had its origin. 1t is wealthy, aristo.
cratic, exclusive, and its membership and
privileges are confined wholly to men. So
far as | nm informed, this /; the single i'll
stance in Cuba where women are thus denied.
Neither politics nor religion are discussed by
its members; only such games of cards as
arc permitted by law are allowed; the most
eminent of Culans in the professions and
mercantile life, as we'll as the highest
Spanish officials, here meet daily i'll mock
friendship; the consul generals of France,
Great Britain, Germany and the United
States are members; and it is absolutely tho
only spot among men in all Cuba which may
be regarded as strictly neutral ground

DR.. George Hay, a chemist, advances a
plan for tho disposition of the dead bodies of
human beings. He advocates an economic
distribution of the remains so that thew NAV
return to tho clements as soon as possible, if
for no other purpose than to furnish a fertil-
izer. DIR. Hay would pulverize the body
with the aid Of machinery. He says; 1.-THE
machines might be so contrived as to break
the bones first in pieces of tho size of q hens
6 s next into fragments Of the size of n
marble, and tho mangled and lacerated mass
could noxt be reduced by means of chopping
machines and steam power to minco meat.
AT this stage, we have a homogeneous mix
ture of the entire body structures in the form
of a pulpous mass of rawf flesh and bones.
"This mass shall now be dried thoroughly
by means of steam heat at n temperature Of
$50 dogs. Fahrenheit, or q pressure of thirty
pounds to tho inch; because, firstly, we wish
to reduce tho material to q condition con.
venient for handling, and, secondly, we
wish to disinfect it, as no infectious or con-
tagious disease can retain its vitality at this
temperature. Once in this condition. it would
command a good price for the purpose of
manure. Another method is by boiling i'll
close vessels. The oil, which would rise to
the top, may be drawn OFF to be converted
into soap or a lubricant. The residue may
by various simple processes be converted
into fertilizing material" His final sugges-
ton is the "distillation method" Tho bodies
are to be placed in gas r%etorts, and in about
six hours will be converted into Illuminating
gas, water, ammonia, tar, and animal char.
coal. BY subsequent distillation such sub
stances as sulphate of ammonia, %aniline,
colors and ,arbolic acid may be obtained.
1t is this process which finds most favor with
che writer. -Pittsburg Cor. Chicago Tribune

betrayed by a Scar,

Jake Kinney, Of San Francisco, was in his
time tho finest short card player alive, and
when he sat down in a poker game he simply
turned into wood. His face had no more ey-
preston in it than a brick, and, although he
would bet his last dollar OF ten high in just
tho same sing song voice that he would OH
four aces, it was very hard to catch him
blufling. Finally lie got into an argument
with Il Los Angeles man, and the other follow
cut him in the check with u knife. When tho
wound healed it left a scar under his eyo
about the size of a dime, end that scar be-
came a bulletin board for Jake's heart. 1t
was naturally white, but when he got the
least bit worked up, although he wouldn't
show it otherwise, it would turn pinker and
pinker, and finally bright red. Old gamblers
used to say that they knew just what shade it
took for a bobtailcd flush, and just how near
salmon colored for four kings. OF course
that was laying it on thick, but there is no
question but that the scar broke him up as u
card player and drove him out Of the bust

Geniuses ON tho Stage.

Frank Mayo in a recent conversation with
Harrison Grey Fiske said:
All this bother about geniuses flying
straight to places of cminence on the stage is
rubbish. Acting is the most practical trade
inthe world, to be learned and practiced to a
point of proficiency like any other business
like pursuit. OF course the dramatic capac-
ity of different people varies, but give ne
n person with n fair voice, Il suitable appear
ance and sufficient intelligence, and Ill give
you a good actor after u few seasons of hard
work.
''But the trouble with tho profession, now
adays, is that noviccs aren't contentcd to
learn the dramatic trade. They apply them
selves industriously enough until they hap
pen to make II hit, and then they become
spoiled. y little applause, n little newspaper
ilattcry, and then big heads are visible. The
development of the novice is arrested forth
with, and the people wonder why Misn
Notwithstanding or Mr.. So-and-so hasn't
realized tho early promise of her or his
career.
"fhere is altogether too much hurry to
get on. The young people become profes.
sionally o wleggcd through taking tho more
difficult walks of the stage too soon. It's Il
failing conrmo to the human race. When
God made man He waited to put tho breath
into his nostrils the ls5. thing, because if He
had done this before, man wouldn't have
stood still to be finished. l don't want
