THEY LOVE THE THEATER.

Havana Residents. Though Few, support
Grand Opera for Months at Time.
One of the oldest places in Havana
is the theater. Here, as elsewhere, the
men and women are seated apart. In
some of them, at the end of each act
the house is emptied, and patrons are
compelled 10 purchase ticket for
every act of the performance. 1t is a
sort of seeing the show on the Euro
pean plan. In connection with the
theater. however, it is worthy 10 note
that Havana is probably the only city
of little over quarter of a million
population on this continent that sup
ports comic and grand opera Tor con-
secutive months, with seats selling for
three dollars and upwar.. says the Bos-
ton Transcript. The home of opera is
the Tacon theater, which was erected
in 1887 at cost of four hundred thou
sand dollars. since which time more
than thirty-five thousand dollars has
been expended at different times in re-
pairing it. There are fourteen exits,
and the seating capacity is said TO be
four thousand two hundred and fifty.
A visit 10 this house on an evening
when some favorite prima donna is TO
appear is one long to be remembered.

zeal Moments.
II is comforting TO know that in ex-
IRENE cases of bodily harm men suffer
much less than is commonly supposed.
Rustem Pasha, Turkish ambassador in
London, was once attacked by a
bear. which tore off part of his
hand and part of his arm and
shoulder. He affirmed afterward that
he felt no sense of fear or pain
What occupied his mind was feeling
of anger because the bear grunted
with so much satisfaction while thus
engaged"
Sir Edward Bradford, an Indian Off
Ger. bears similar testimony. He was
seized by a tiger, which held him with
one paw, and then deliberately de-
voured the whole of his arm. beginning
at the hand and ending at the shoulder
He. too, is sure that he felt no fear
He believes he felt little pain when
the fangs went through his hand, but
feels certain that he felt none when
the tiger was munching his arm.
The author of Among Men and
Horses" from whose book the forego-
ing facts have been gathered, relates
an experience of his own. bearing upon
the same point.

Indian jungle. when tiger sprang up
almost at his feet. For probably two
seconds. which seemed as many years, y"
says Mr.. Hayes, "he raced round me,
while | stood stock still, wondering
why | could not put out my hand and
catch him by the tail. That was the
only thought that occupied my mind
during those eventful moments, until,
with bound and a growl, the tiger
disappeared into the thick underbrush. "

Poor

Poor.
1t has hitherto been customary TO
fritter away the intellectual force of
parrots by merely teaching them TO
say Pretty Poll" and things of that
sort, but the municipal authorities of
q French town have instituted what it
is to be hoped will become a general
reform.
The poor-boX at the town hall, it
seems. had for a long time been in a
condition discreditable to the more
prosperous of the inhabitants. To re-
mind them of their duty toward their
poorer neighbors parrot was pur-
chased. which was installed close to the
box and trained to cry: For the poor,
II you please"
The result, IL appears. has been high
ly satisfactory, pence and silver having
been freely given in response TO the
birds appeal.
The idea is capable of being applied
In variety of ways. Parrots might be
nsed, for example, TO warn passers-by
of the proximity of wet paint on fences
or shop fronts, or to remind people on
entering a house TO wipe their feet.
In fact. parrots might be made really
useful members of society.

BlllY'S BRIGHT IDEA.

Packing.
The Churchman has given us Bily's
idea, which is surely valuable enough

going To the seashore. and while she
was packing her trunks he was pop

something of his that must be packed
also.
I'D like 10 help you, mother he
said once, preparing TO pitch his fishing
tackle in on his mothers lace gown,

Never mind. Billy" said his pother,
catching the tackle. Il shall rest after
awhile. Packing is hard work for a
tall person. though, for it makes one
stoop So
why" said Billy. with his hands in
his pockets and his head on one side.
''why don't you put the trunks upon
something? Hullo, | know; horses,
wooden horses. you know, mother; car
penter's horses; there are some in the
basement. I'll bring EN-"
And directly there he was again with
"a wooden horse on his back.
Mother ones coming with Sam, =
he said. painting, and well lift up the
trunks.
BILLY boy" said his mother. straight
ening up her tired back, Il believe
your plan is a good one.
Sure enough. the packing went on
beautifully after that, and at dinner
Billy's mother said she had never
packed SO easily and comfortably.

To believe a French writer. there are
no fewer than four thousand women
caught every year in stealing during
their shopping expeditions, a habit eu-
phoniously styled kleptomania. The
number of titled ladies seized with the
strange malady while examining the
fashions of Paris, he tells us, is almost
incredible. Among the most recent
culprits were n Russian princess, a
French countess, an English duchess
and the daughter of n reigning sover-
eign. AS rule, these more distin-
guished offenders are let off on the
payment of round sum for the relief
of the poor, and when the shoplifter

rises to as much az ten thousand francs.

The Queer Uses the Women of Peru Make
Of shawl Pins.
OF the multifarious uses of the hair
pin, some, at least. are well known.
They are suggested 10y French travel
er's description of pin which the In

ing for their shawls. Its head is in the
shape of a spoon. In fact, it is spoon
and a shawl-pin in one.
1t is odd, the Frenchmsn saws. too
see woman pull out the pin, letting
her shawl drop from her bare should
ers, and proceed TO use it for eating her
soup or porridge. After the repast she
passes the bowl of the spoon carefully
between her lips two or three times,
gathers mp her shawl, and fastens it in
place.
The same women use their slippers
instead of pocketbooks-a point in
which they may be said to have the adj
vantage of their North American sis
tiers, who. having no pockets, or none
within comfortable reach, are COM
PEELED to carry their purses in their
hands.

Tho Mammoth Baths Constructed by
Adoiph Sutro.
The most wonderful baths in the
world are those built by Adolph Sutro,
in San Francisco. The great cliffs have
been tunneled, that the water of the
Pacific may flow through succession
of canals into the reservoir where il is
warmed: and thence into the enormous
tanks. The baths are more than twice
as large as the largest of the famous
old Roman baths. and Mr.. Sutro has
tried to make them as beautiful.
Twenty thousand people can sit, stand,
or promenade about the tanks, which
are arranged for every possible set of
batherS.
There are cold baths and hot baths,
swimming and diving baths, baths for
children and beginners. The largest
tank is two hundred and seventy-five
feet long and onehundred and fifty feet
wide. There is even "a fresh-water
tank, supplied from the waterworl1s
above.
The place is full of beauty and color,
with tropical plants and rows of grow
ing palms; while through the glass
sidewalks. the ocean view stretches.
The building is of steel and glass, and
its glazed roof spans more than two
acres. Tier after tier of rooms for the
ba,hers rise. until they are numbered
by many hundreds.
A great stage, fifty feet broad, is
placed at the ocean end of the tank
room for an orchestra. The building
is furnished with electric lights and ell
evators throughout. Three restaurants
provide refreshment. and an aquarium
and conservatory add to the beauty and
interest. The Cliff rocks outside are
covered with seals.sunning themselves,
and the finest baths in the world have
perhaps the most beautiful setting.

called, small disks of candied cocoanut,
which cost one cent each. They were
colored white and red, and finally they

seems To me they had some other
colors. IL had only one cent bought
usually white one, though some
times | took red one; if had two
cents bought red and white, To have
a variety. | have seen the time when |
had three cents. and bought all three
colors at once.
Il had not bought any cocoanut
cakes for | don't know how many
years, though had seen them along
year after year, particularly in sum-
mer, when the dust blows and the
white ones get all covered with dirt;
but the other day | bought two of the
new-fashioned kind, that seems just
now TO be having run: you see them
on all the push carts. The new cocoa
nut cakes are all one color, a sort of
molasses color; and they are not round
and fiat like the old ones. but thick
and bunchier, like little broken-off
masses of the prepared cocoanut.
Il found them very good They
differ somewhat from the oldfashioned
cocoanut cake in taste and texture, as
well a. in build and color; the old
cocoanut cake. while not brittle, ex-
-. u
crumbly and sugary; it dissolved quick
ly in the mouth: while the contem-
poraneous cocoanNt cake, after you get
below the light frostwork of its exte-
rior, has decidedly more consistence; it
is what the modern child calls chevy;
but the cocoanut taste isthere all right
and as | eat them they carry me back
