commander of a Knights of Pythias
lodge. He led most exemplary life
until recently, when it is said he fell
into bad company and gambled. He

heart-broken. The railroad officials

Girls of Cuba.

1t is not to be accepted as true that
be stated as a rule, however, that the
Cuban woman has beautiful eyes,
Faces that would otherwise be plain
and unattractive are glorified by raw
ishing dark eyes, with arched brows
and long lashes that cast shadows on
their cheeks. When the face, as is
sometimes the case, is a perfect oval,
the features prettily formed, with a
touch of voluptuousness about the
mouth, the hair raven black, such eyes
complete beauty that is we'll worth
a journey to Cuba to see. One will
often catch glimpse of a face like
that, framed in by mantilla, at the
opera or on the street. One often finds
himself coming to sudden stop in the
street at the sight of such face peer
ing out from the shadows of carriage,
perhaps with fan provokingly held
up so as to hide half the beauty He
will see such beauties, too, now and
then at the windows of houses, and this
is likely to encourage him in a habit
of looking into the wide open windows
as he slides by them on the narrow
footwalks. He will rarely see one
walking on the street in the daytime.

panied by an elderly woman or ne

A Ringer for Lost Children.

Francis George, the Liverpool bell
man, is to retire from the service of the
city, after a public career extending
over period of sixty years. 1t is said
that at one time the office of bell-man
was worth to the person who held it
about $1,000 per annum. In addition
to making public proclamations, it was
part of the bell-man's duty on all civic
occasions to walk before the mayor Of
Liverpool with portion Of the regalia.
1t was Mr.. Georges distinction in that
capacity during his long period of office
to walk before fifty-three mayors. In
these later days the Office of bell-man
has become practically a sinecure. The
duties which he had to discharge have
become obsolete, and other means of
announcement have superseded that Of
bell-man During his long tenure Of
office Mr.. George has received from po-
lice officers at the bell-man's house the
custody Of 100000 stray children whom
he restored to their parents. Latterly
this was the old bell-man's chief emol-
ument, each parent paying IL cents for
the recovery of the lost children, and
$125 year was granted to him from
the corporation. Now a great deal Of
ringing for children is done by electric
gongs.

WHY THEY OPPOSE 1T.

Woman's Health Protective Association
Protest Against the Use of Alum.
The opposition of the Woman's
Health Protective association of Phil
adelphia to the erection of the expert
mental patent filtration plants at
Shawmont was explained by Mrs. John
H. Scribner recently, who said:
Our association Is against these
filtering plants because both the COM
panies which propose to erect these
plants use alum as a coagulent to
cleanse the water. The smallest guam
tity to be used per gallon Is half grain.
This means with our present consump-
tion of water at least seven tons of
alum per day to cleanse the water of our
entire city. The quantity Of alum va
ries, however, with the amount of i'm
purities in the water and alum-filter
companies have been known to use at
times as much as II to IA grains of alum
per gallon. A small quantity of alum
will kill fish and less than one ounce
has been known to kill an adult human
being, and the use of very small guam
titles of alum in breadmaking has been
forbidden by law in England and in this
country, because 1t has been conclusive
ly proven that it's use in even small
quantities conduces to severe derange-
ment of the digestive argans."
