The second edition of the Deem
Der Worlds Fair Cosmopolitan brings
the total up to the extraordinary
figure of 100000 copies, an unpreced-
ented results in the history of maya
zines. Four hundred thousand
copies-2O0 tons -ninety-four million
pages enough to fill 200 wagons
with 1000 pounds each in a single
line, in close order, this would be a
file of wagons more than mile and a
half long. This means not less than
100000 readers, scattered through
out every town and village in the
Uuited States. The course of The
Cosmopolitan for the past twelve
months1maY be compared to that of a
rolling SNOWFALL, more subscribers
mean more money spent in buying
the best articles and best illustrations
in the world; better illustrations and
better articles mean more subscribers,
and SO the two things are acting and
re-acting upon each other until it
seems probable that the day is not
far distant when the magazine pub
Usher will be able to give SO excellent
an article that it will claim the atten-
ton of every intelligent reader in the
country.

cuRAcos, A QUEER ISLAND.

pIy-SOme Odd Customs.

Dependent Upon Rain For the Water Sup
ply-SOme Odd Customs.
Curacao is one of the queerest little is
lands of the Caribbean sea. It lies go
miles north of Venezuela, is about 60
miles long and 10 or IA wide, and it has
population of more than $4,000.
There is no means Of procuring fresh
water on the island except by saving
rainwater in reservoirs. A number Of
wells have been bored under the super
vision of the Dutch government, to which
it belongs, but each ended in failure.
A curious statement regarding these
behring's is made by the inhabitants of
the island. They say that in each and
every case after o certain depth was
reached the tools dropped out of sight,
indicating that there is no solid founda-
tion to the island. The borings were
made in low places and through hills,
and in about 80 different places, each
with the same ultimate result. A few
wells have been dug to lesser depth
and brackish, unpleasant tasting water
is obtained from them, fit only for man.

The approach of the rainy season is
always an interesting time there. The
water in the reservoir is low at this
time. and the natives eagerly await the
opportunity to gather a fresh supply.
Clothing is never washed there in fresh
water, but at all hours of the day the
beach is alive with women beating the
Il L. 4, a.
The houses are all built in the Dutch
style, and are mostly of stone, with tile
roofs. The streets are very narrow, in
some places so narrow that it is possible
to shake hands with the occupant of a
room across the street simply by leaning
out of the window.
There is a scarcity of young women in
the island, but an overplenty of old and
wrinkled danes. 1t is said the young
women leave home as soon as they are of
manageable age and seek husbands in
Caracas, Venezuela, or some other South
American city. Yet there are some of
the prettiest girls there traveller ever
set eyes upon. They are the daughters
of Dutch fathers and Spanish mothers,
and the mingling Of the two. bloods has
produced beautiful race, which is grow
ing quite numerous there.
Three-quarters of the population is of
African descent, Oh, mixed African, Span
ish, Dutch and Indian. A few Indians,
said to be descendants of the Caribs, are
still to be found on the island living in
huts of straw.
Their sole business in these days seems
to be the peddling of lottery tickets. Ev-
erybody invests in the lottery there, and
as there are drawings each day the ped
ding of tickets forms quite a paying
business.

OF late years they are forced to wear

point beyond observation where they
can enjoy themselves untrammeled by

lied themselves, military fashion, and
started out at early sunrise to slaugh-

and the courage to do and dare. But

Boot, as Billposter.

One story of Booths trip to the Sand
WITCH Islands remains with me, He had
gone there in 1854 in company with his
comrade, Mr.. David G. Anderson, en-
route to Australia, and they were to play
in the Royal Hawaiian theater. They
had hired a native to paste up the bills
announcing the performance. This had
to be done with a preparation named
''poe-poe, made from a vegetable called
''tara-tara," which is favorite food in
Honolulu, but the poor man was SO him.
cry that yielding to temptation he incon-
tinently ate up the paste, and to their
surprise no bills appeared. When the
reason was ascertained, they feared to
trust another native, and it was there
fore agreed that as Booth was the young
er he should act as billposter, and it came
to pass that every night after the per-
Torrance Edwin went about the city
with his play bills and bucket of paste

play on the following night. And he as
sured me that he did this honestly an6

In giving relief to the needy
method and care should be used. A
reckless and spasmodic charity does
more harm than good. It has been
wn,for instance, that free lodg-
ings and free meals are being pro-
vided in Chicago and now freight
trains running that way are literally
loaded with mendicants. If the reck-
less method of dispensing relief con-
tinues, that city will go from bad to
worse. The more the city gives in an
indiscriminate way, the. greater be-
come the demands upon it, and any
other city following the same plan
will meet the same experience. Pro-
vide free sleeping berths and free
sandwiches and very many men will
never do another stroke of work as
long as these necessaries are obtain
able. AS stated by an exchange, it
makes less display to work through a
regular charitable organization, which
investigates all cases, than to start
some free dispensary Of our own, and
it is much easier to give aims care
lessly than it is to provide work by
which fair equivalent for the money
may be given, but the latter is the
only charity worthy Of the name.
The former method tends to create a
class of beggars such as over-run
Italy. A more intelligent as well as
q more general charity is needed,
