A Joke on Hermann.

he said, "while giving performance
at the house of the governor of Monte
video, in which had the tables turned
on me. During my performance I
noticed three half-savage Patagonians
standing aside from the rest of the
company, and l at once determined to
have some fun with them. From the
nose of the first 1 took an orange, from
the hair of the second / took a number
of silver coins, and the third was over
powered with terror when extracted
a live rat from his nose. Uttering a
cry of fright, the Patagonians with
drew. While receiving the congratu-
lations of the guests on the success of
the entertainment l discovered that
my watch and chain, purse, eyeglasses,
and handkerchief were missing. In a
short time the Patagonians returned,
and the one from whose nose the rat
had been taken handed me the missing
articles. He had picked my pocket at
the moment he appeared to be over
come with fright. "-NeU Havea linton.

Asphalt Lake of Trinidad.

Asphalt is a substance as familiar
now as are its related substances, coal
and petroleum. 1t is used in great
quantities for paving streets and roof
ing houses. A large part of the
supply is brought from the lake of La
Brea in the island of Trinidad. This
lake is said to have been discovered
in 1896 by Sir Walter Raleigh, who
employed the pitch found there in calk-
ing his ships.
This wonderful bituminous sheet
has an area of nearly one hundred
acres, between elevations close to the
hilltop. 1t is a broad surface of pitch,
scanned with small channels of water.
The pitch is dug from the hardened
top, and the quantity taken away is con-
stantly replenished by the soft asphalt
oozing up from below, which becomes
hardened by the evaporations of its
constituent oil in the sun. Night sup
plies the exhaustion of day.
The method of skimming the great
bowl may be illustrated by comparing
it to pond from which blocks of ice
have been cut and the water solidifed
again by the action of frost, the differ
ence being that heat is the agent in
one case and cold in the other Youths

summit stands out in bold relief against

Objections to Magazine Guns.

had the honor of serving In the
army of northern Virginia under the
late renowned Gen. Robert f. Lee.
Early in the war the nerves of the con-
federatcs were somewhat shaken by a
report that the federal armies were to
be furnished with breech-loading rifles.
which up to that time were unknown
in the United States army. All fears.
however, were allayed few days later
by the statement that Gen. Lee re-
garded such weapons as serious dis
advantage, assigning as mis- reason
that most troops were apt to fire at
random and too rapidly, and were
thus in danger of exhausting their am
munition and rendering themselves
helpless at the critical point of the bat
tie. If this applies to breeeh-loaders.
with how much greater force does it
apply to the magazine-rifie? / have
no proof that Gen. Lee ever uttered
this opinion, but most execution in bat
tie Is done at close quarters, and my
subsequent experience confirmed the
wisdom of this opinion, whether ex-
pressed by Lee or not. Rapid firing
at close quarters is no doubt tremen-
dous power, but it becomes impossible
if troops have wasted their cartridges
at long range, when armies are ap-
preaching each other from distance.
A detached magazine, applicable to
an ordinary breech-loader, would there
fore seem to possess great advantages
over a weapon that could only be
charged from a fixed magazine. 1t
could be attached at the proper mo-
ment by command of an officer, and
thus tremendous reserve power would
be insured for the critical moment

have surprised oil who heard them by the
excellence of their playing. The play Is
one OF powerful interest, pathetic or ex-

humorous phases of those times by no
means neglected. Daniel Boone Is sure
OF a hearty welcome.
Irwin Brothers big show.
The Irwin Brothers, whose big speciality
show will open at Kernan's Theatre next
Monday night, have been successful in
organizing large companies and this sea-
son have the largest combination of
American and European speciality artists
that have ever appeared on the vaudeville
stage. The success with which the Twins
have met in handling their mammoth
vaudeville attractions Is due to their long
experience in the circuscs which have
made them famous, as well as the richest
young managersin America. Their vaude-
vile attractions are invariably excellent
and brimful of new features and rare
novelties.
Stirk and Zeno, the celebrated aerial
artists, head the list of talent, and are un-
doubtedly without living peers. They
were the feature of the Barnum- Bailey
circus in London, and are engaged at an
most daring feats ever attempted includ-
ing thrilling leaps, pcrilous dives and
difficult mid-air somersaults. Their act is
positively wonderful and unsurpassed,
and is calculated to create a sensation
here.
Musical artists like Gordon and Lick
are rare, combining mirth and music in
an act of instrumental novelties which
would puzzle the average musician and
aggrayate the average instrumentalst.
Ida Lillian Abrams is handsome, grace
full and accomplished, and possesses a
rich cultured voice that makes her vocal
selections charming. AL. Reeves is the
representative American banjo comedian,
and will introduce several new parodies.
McCole and Daniels are artistic imper-
senators of rough Irish character. Alice
Thompson was the reigning favorite in
New York, and Is an artist whose dash
in song and vim in dance captivate every
body. Richard ]. Riley, the original
tramp, and Miss Kittie Wolfe, the only
lady harp song-and-dance artist, will pre-
sent their latest and most amusing sketch,
in which they introduce their wonderful
dog actor Jack" Leslie and Collins are
talented artists. James Wesley will be
pleasantly remembered in connection
with the Wesley Brothers, as the Little
I'm" Mcbride and Goodrich, Henry
and Mamie, are the greatest dancers on

The Now Cathedral.

rum We %NfU lOfN HoIVW, OW..
We give our readers this morning de-
tailed description of the Protestant Epis-
copal Cathedral, which is to cost upward
of So, 100000.
1t will be one of the most imposing
structures in the country, not only an
ornament TO the city and Mecca for the
devout but landmark in the history of
the religious denomination whose large
generosity 1t will represent.
The Cathedral idea is impressive and
important. The grand edifice in earliest
days was looked upon as the "Ecclesia
cese. 1t was religious dream in stone,
decorated by the finest products Of artist
and sculptor and held in trust for the use
of the people--rich and poor alike.
This Episcopal Cathedral will occupy
one of the finest sites at the northern end
of Manhattan Island, with the Palisades
on the west and Central Park and the
waters of the harbor ON the east and south.

CIIINTZ.
The Last English Craze.

Just at this moment II is their fashion
of doing up" rooms in chintz that we
are crazy over. 1t is chintz, chintz.
chintz, and everything that is not chintz
is done off in chintz patterns, from wall
papers to wash bowls. But not satisfied
with having bedrooms and sitting rooms
done in this cool, fresh fashion, We must
have reception-rooms and boudoirs, and
even drawing-rooms so draped and hung
and cushioned. This is all very well, of
course in country houses and city homes
of the cottage order, but town mansion
deserves more stately treatment in certain
Of its rooms, ut any rate, as its drawing
rooms and great salons, its libraries and
dining-rooms, its reception-rooms. and
its drawing-rooms.
In any common living room (Which is
usually in America the sittng-room, some
times the library, chintz is too delightful
to be tabooed. 1t is so fresh and cool to
lean hot tired head against, so clean and
dainty, because 1t admits of laundrying.
or at any rate, Of repeated cleanings at the
steam works. It is so like doing up q
room anew to have all the curtains aud
draperies, cushions and covers taken off
and cleaned. Yes chintz is a great COM
fort to the housekeeper's heart.

A Chatelaine of Roses.


There seems to be in process of develop
ment a whole art and craft and sweet
and delicate mystery of flower garlanding.
Ayoung woman WHO'S still in herearly
twenties, though she stood up the other
day for the second time to be made a
bride, carried mass of orchids which IL
Illustrated excellently well one of the pres
ent types of the fashionable WHITING to-
gether of flowers. Her frock was silver
silk, and in front of il, as she walked to
the altar, there appeared to fall flower
rain.
The weird crimson and brown blossoms
that filled her hands were almost lost in
long grasses and ferns. Mingling with
these, knotted among them at twenty diff
ferent points, were long silk ribbons of
evanescent PINK and silver dropping in
showers and carrying with them single
orchids and fern fronds ana stalks of
grass, the whole making strange and
lovely combination of fresh aud delicate
tints and producing the effect of q cascade
of flowers.
Like this, but simpler, was chatelaine
of roses carried the other evening by a
