am Cuban and love Cuba, yet
the extreme heat of some months OF
each year is unbearable. You remem-
her the entrance Of Havana harbor is
guarded by MORO Castle. The garri-
son numbers ahout 300 men. Three
years ago last June the temperature
rose beyond all previous records, and
the suffering was intense. The author
tiles were dreading the possible inva-
sion of Cuba's deadliest scourge-yel-
low fever. News came to the city of
the breaking out of the fever at the
castle. Immediately steps were taken
for the complete isolation of the fort.
No boats were allowed TO land from the
infected locality. and none were brave
enough to venture the casting OF their
lot with the garrison. At sunset each
day we watched the gates open and the
funeral corteges wind their way down
the hill to the little garrison cemetery.
We listened for the volleys of salute,
their number denoting how many brave
fellows had succumbed that day. One
evening as we pathetically gazed across
the water boat shot forth from the
pier at Havana, it was loaded to the gun
wales with provisions and medicines,
and none of that crowd needed to be
told of its destination. Our eyes then
sought the guider of the little craft,
and, to our horror, saw the sole occu-
pant was woman. Then a universal
shout of protest came-too late She
paused an instant from her rowing and
silenced our murmurings with wave
of her small hand.
II am alone" she said. "From all
Havana not one regret will follow me.
IT'S better that l should go than life
upon whose tenure hangs the fate of
others. Good-by."
We strained our eyes across the
Ell and slower as the awful heat Slapped
her life, and finally paused exhausted
beneath Castle Morro's walls Those
faithful souls, brave and constant to
the last, refused admission, though we
could feel the hunger and longing ex-
pressed in their long-suffering eyes. At
length faint resistance ceased-they
eagerly came down to the welcome
boat-fairly lifted their angel of mercy
on waiting shoulders, and, followed by
others bearing the medicine, to which
many poor fellows owe their lives, are
lost to our view within the castle
walls.
The first effect noticed was the re-
duction in the number of salutes over
the soldiers graves; then one blessed
morning, when n breeze, all but cool,
came straight from your northland, the
distress signal was hauled down, and
again the royal flag of Spain foated
proudly from the battlement, denoting
all was well within. Instantly the bay
was dotted with boats. We fiocked to the
castle and exchanged congratulations
with the Governor and his badly deci-
mated garrison We learned that I'M
doubleday not a life would have been
preserved had it not been for the brave
maiden's timely succor. Now, there,
gentlemen, is an incident of land of
heat.
Eyes, what became of the grip anx-
iously inquired the Long-Islander.
"She is the happy wife of the Cover
nor of the castle, aud is the idol of all
Havana. "-NdShUWe american.

The Hurrah Girl.

The "Hurrah Girl" is the latest. OF
course YOU have seen her, if you do not
know her. She creates Juror where
ever she goes, and she goes almost
everywhere She leads in conversation
and talks loudly and for effect. In the
drug store she calls for three or four
kinds of strip in her soda and in the
dry goods store she gossips with the
clerk and begs, aye, demands, score
of samples. La the street-car she makes
a show of declining the seat rendered
by some dude, but she seats herself
with alacrity just the same. She can
talk on almost any subject, particu-
larry on masculine themes, and attends
the baseball games regularly. On the
street she rushes along pellmell, greet
ing her acluaintances vociferously,
and she is proud of the attention she at
tracts. She is sarcastic, and woe to the
individual who displeases her The
"Hurrah Girl" is a newcomer, but
every girl has her day, and this par
ticular girl will probably have as short
day as her unlamented sister. the
girl of the date period. - Buffalo

Great Ocean Denths.

The British surveying ship Egeria,
under the command of Capt. p. Aid
rich, II. N, has recently made two very
deep sea soundings According to Ma
tatre these depths were 1926 fathoms
and 4,430 fathoms equal to five En-
glish miles,. The latter was in latitude
"a deg. 81 min south, longitude 175
deg. min. west; the former about
twelve miles TO the southwark.
The greatest known ocean depth,
4,655 fathoms, was obtained by the
United States steamer Tuscarora off the
northeast coast OF Japan. The Challen'
ger expedition found an abyss of 4,475
fathoms south of the Ladrone islands,
and the United States ship Blake dis
covered one of 4, SOL fathoms north Of
Porto Rico. But the depths sounded
by Capt. Aldrich exceed by more thar
mile any previously found in any o
the southern oceans. = NelC YOrh

from year to year have any idea of the
vast number of these pamphlets issued

accomplish this stupendous work, the
publishers use machine which prints

dred thousand almanacs daily, turning
off at the rate Of hundred and eighty
books q minute, and consuming about
twenty-five miles of paper each day
These astounding facts and figures
are given in the preface to neat

sisting of specimen copies of the sew
eral editions in English and in nine
other languages, also pages of pam

of the throat were normal. The little
mass could not be detached by a cot
ton-covered probe. but by the use of
forceps it was easily removed, and on
examination proved to be piece of
fisger-nail, which had become covered
by cheesy deposit. A broken piece
of the nail was also removed from un-
der the mucous membrane at the same
spot by a sharp-pointed probe. The
patient then confessed to the habit of
biting her finger-nails, and moreover,
could remember that day or two prev

a piece of nail she had bitten off had
become lost in her mouth, bat after it
had caused fit of coughing she had

A CAmo special TO the st. Louis Globe
DelnOcraf, dated October 2 says: A few
days ago the Vidette brought three govern.
ment iron-hulled steam launches here for
repairs, which have been laid up at Chester
the past several months. and which were
taken out on the coal Company's cocks near
the coal dump. The hulls were rusty and
contained large number Of strange looking
Jumps OF warts. about the size Of an egg
which were rough and irregularly distrib-
utcd. In scraping off these protubennces
n kind 81 white substance was found beneath
the thick coating Of rust, which. when en-
tircly removed. showed the iron had been
entirely eaten through by the alkali the
knife easily penetrating the hull. Further
investigation developed the same condition
Of Affairs beneath every lump leaving the
hull thoroughly honcycombcd with small
holes and renderingit thoroughly worthless.
The three bulls were all pulled out at the
same time and contained the curious Jumps
OF rust and alkali referred 90. The bulls of
the other two have not been touched thus
far, although they are without doubt IN the
same condition. The officer In charge Of
the launchts states that II Is the
effect Of the alkali In the Missouri
river water, In which tho boats have
been plying. aud Of course with which the
Mississippi river Is largely impregnated. All
work has been stopped, aud the government
authorities nj St. Louis notified. Two Of the
hulls have not been scrupcd, and are ayailn-
bic for the present, but the third one will
sink Instantly II Il is dropped into the water.
The whole thing Is q source OF surprise, and
when IL is thought that possibly all iron
hulls which have been laid up at Chester or
at Bushbcrg may develop the same condition
Of Affairs, the amount Of damage may be APP
prcCiatcd.
