Diauantine.

A very attractive ornamental art Of
recent introduction is, as stated, the pro-
duction of an imitation beadwork on
fabrics Of various kinds by means Of
what is known as glass powder, or
"diamantine, the result being patterns
which present an appearance similar to
that exhibited by glass beads on close or
open meshed fabrics. The method of
operation in carrying out this idea is
said to be simple-tbat is, the fabric is
coated by means of molding boards with
resinous substances, composed of, say,
go parts Of guaiacum and 30 parts of
shellac, dissolved in 100 parts Of alco-
hol, 10 parts of glycerin being added to
the solution under continuous stirring.
After the composition has been carefully
distributed over the surface Of the fab
ric the glass powder is strewn on it
and firmly pressed by repeated rolling,
etc., the glass powder being prepared by
thorough pulverizing or pounding. and
may be Of any or many colors-

4, 1869, Valmaseda issued a proclama-
ton in which the following lines oc-
Cured: Every man from the age of
Is upward found away from his habita-
ton and who does not prove justified
motive therefor will be shot" Weyler's
proclamation is as foul as was Val
maseda's, and if his outrageous policy
is pushed very far there are those high
in the councils of this nation who de-
clare that the only end will be war be-
tween the United States and Spain. 1t
is next to impossible to believe that in
this age of the world war should be SO
degraded as Weyler has degraded it.
He notified all Cubans to join the Span
ish ranks. He has decreed death for
Cubans sympathizing with the cause Of
freedom, and declared trial by court
martial (another name for DEATH for
those who circulate news favorable to
the revolution and for those who shall
speak adversely of him or of his army.
His commanders have been given pow
er to execute prisoners as they see ft.
He has ordered the country people to
quit their homes and remove to places
designated by him. Indeed, he has
done unspeakable things in Cuba.
General Gomez, on the contrary, has
treated captured Spaniards with every
leniency and has given many prisoners
their freedom Internationally. 1t is
possible that Weyier's brutality will
cause a reversal of this policy and that
General Gomez will take to shooting
Spaniard for Cuban, reprisal justifi-
able under the circumstances, but to be
deplored beyond expression.

Guiana's vile Climate.

The climate Of Guiana is not by any
means agreeable. Georgetown is within
six degrees of the equator, and the mer-
curry generally fingers around 80 and
100 degrees. The land is also low and
marshy in places, SO that fevers are
prevalent at all seasons of the year, and
a white man cannot live there unless he
takes extreme precaution to observe
certain essential rules. Negroes, on the
contrary, can live anywhere and break
the health rules laid down for the white
settlers. Yellow fever is an annual
plague in Georgetown. but the negro
population gives little thought to it, and
it is uncommon to hear of one of their
number taking it. The coolies, who
compose about one-third the population,
are more susceptible to the poor climate
than the negroes, but are much harder
than the whites. The coolies are a
lighter and more slender race than the
negroes, but they are industrious and
moderately faithful workers, while the
negroes are lazy and indolent. The real
hard and difficult work in the fields
that requires muscle is performed by the
negroes, but the steady, continuous,
light work is allotted to the coolies.
The two races are naturally hostile,
more SO than the Europeans and the ma
tives. Louis GlobeDemoorat.

Got Their Licenses.

There is an ancient law in Rhode Is
land, which, however, is almost forgot
ten, requiring clergymen to take out a
The other day Father O'Hare and Mr..
Stewart, the Episcopal rector of Au-
burn, went to the town clerk for this
license. At first the town clerk was
much puzzled what to do, as he had no
proper license blanks, but he finally got
over the difficulty, and the clergymen
departed. After they had got ON street
car they opened their licenses, and each
was Mortified to find himself in the pos
session of a full fedged second class
liquor license, with power to run a
liquor shop subject to all the privileges
and penalties Of the law. A closer in
spection of the license, however, showed
that the words "second class liquor IL
cense," giving power to sell s'malt,
spirituous and intoxicating liquors" at
retail or Wholesale, had had line
drawn through them, and instead of
the words to sell malt, spirituous and
Intoxicating liquors" were interlined
the words to perform marriages" and
SO forth.
Each clergyman made wry face as
he contemplated his battered license,
and each silently vowed to exhibit ii
only in case Of dire peril Of $40 fine.
But both blessed the ingenuity of the
official that could transform document
which portends so much evil for the
race, according to their views, into an
instrument with power to give such
happiness. New York Tribune.

and its hind legs, besides being larger,
are formed almost like those of hare.
This cat, although making it's home
among men, Is still very shy, rejecting
all friendly advances and being very
apt to bite the hand that offers it a
caress. 1t exists for the most part out
Of doors and is almost wholly self-sup-
porting. 1t is fine hunter, not only
catching rats, but rabbits, hares and
birds as well.
In regard to it's being tailless, a
writer states that the popularity, in all
probability, originated in some dis
ease of the caudal appendage, resulting
from the dampness of the soil and the
humidity Of the climate. The effect
of the disease was the rotting off of
the tail and in, time, it is supposed, it
became hereditary.
AS to the hind legs of the cat it is
thought they became longer in obedi-
ence to the requirements Of the crea-
ture's life, it's home originally being
among the hills, to which 1t fled on the
approach of danger. Its long hind legs
enable it to easily run up high hills
while pursued by enemies.

A SOCIETY ITEM.

A Striking Object Lesson In the Ethics Of
Nomenclature.
1t was at the Emerald ball, and the
young society reporter sharpened her
wits and her pencils, that full and satis-
factory description of each costume
might be presented. Surrounding her
were those most desirous of seeing their
names and gowns in print, and in the
crowd stood shopgirl, gowned in
1imsy pink cheesecloth of indescribable
cut.
When her turn came for inspection,
it was with a hopeless eye that the re-
porter surveyed the toilet The artful
question, however, was asked, as usual
"And your name and gown?'
"Miss Matilda jenkins, attired in
pink erepon and diamonds, was the
studied and prompt reply.
"Pink crepon," wrote the newspaper
woman, delighted with the new and ele-
CANT name for cheesecloth, but her PEN
Gil refused to add "and diamonds

Of purest luster.
The next day all the girls behind a
notion counter exclaimed enviously over
a we'll worn newspaper clipping which
read, miss Matilda Jenkins, attired in

the society reporter glanced over the
printed words she felt never q pang as
to the accuracy of the information she

THE USE OF COCAINE.

Horse Trainers and Jockeys Find It Use-
full as q Bracer For Their Mays.
Within recent period cocaine has
come into use on the race track as a
stimulant Horses that are worn and ex-
hausted, or are uncertain as to speed and
endurance, are given 10 to 15 grains of
cocaine by the needle under the skin at
the time of starting, or few moments
before.
The effects are very prominent, and a
veritable muscular delirium follows, i'll
which the horse displays unusual speed
and often Unexpectedly wins the race.
This agitation continues, and the driver
has difficulty in "slowing down" the
horse after the race is over; not unfre-
quently the horse will go half way round
again before he can be stopped. The ex-
haustion which follows is not marked,
except in the great thirst and loss of ap-
petite. Sometimes diarrhea and trem-
bling follow. But good grooms give un-
usual attention to rubbing and bathing
the legs in hot water and stimulants
The general effect on the horse is de-
preston, from which he soon RECEIVERS,
but it is found essential to give cocaine
again to make sure of his speed. The
action of cocaine grows more transient
as the use increases, and when long
period of scoring follows before the race
begins drivers give second dose secret
ly while in the saddle. Sometimes the
horse becomes delirious and unmanage-
able and leaves the track in a wild
frenzy, often killing the driver, or he
drops dead on the track from cocaine, al
though the cause is unknown to any but
the owner and driver. Some horses have
been given as high as 30 grains at a
time, but this is dangerous and only
given to wornout animals, who may by
this means win race. 1t appears that
cocaine is only used in running races
and as temporary stimulant for the
time. It is claimed that the flashing
eyes and trembling excitement of the
horse are strong evidence of the use of
cocaine. Enquirer.

Chinese Quail in Maryland.

Frank T. Redwood is interested in
the increase of wild fowl in this coun-
try, and has an idea that Chinese quail
may be successfully introduced. A
friend brought him six Of these birds
a year ago. They were liberated in
Talbot County, and few off in the
woods as naturally as though in China.
But that was the last ever seen of
them. They have disappeared entire
ly, so far as Mr.. Redwood or his friends
have been able to discover. Mr.. Red
wood is still firm in his faith that this
species of bird will flourish in America,
and to this end has arranged to have
twenty pair brought over from China
and let loose in the woods of Maryland.

WHAT MAKES THE PIANO RATTLea
Queer Causes Found by the Tuner-Things
In the instrument.

Queer Causes Found by the Tuner-Things
In the Instrument.
Piano tuners are sometimes called
upon to tune" gas fixtures as well as
pianos. Frequently the owner Of a fine
upright grand" enters vigorous COM
plaint because "that piano rattles so. "
Then the piano tuner packs his few tools
and some extra glue and parts of the
action into his long, slender valise
and proceeds to feel the pulse, pound
the chest, examine the tongue and over
haul the internal economy Of the Of
Tending piano. His experienced ear
tells him that the piano is all right.
His intimate knowledge of the mechan-
ism and make up of the piano assures
him that nothing is the matter with the
instrument. and he says SO.
''But the piano does rattle,' insists
the owner. CHOW, listen when touch
this key" And, sure enough, decid-
ed buzz and jingle are heard.
'sIt is not in the piano." replies the
tuner, and he touches the key again and
again, at the same time glancing
around the room. "There it u.s." he
says at last, pointing to the glass
g1obeJaround the gas jet. "There is the
rattler," and the irritating noise is ST
fenced when be removes the glass globe.
This is common experience Of piano
tuners. Certain notes in the piano vi
brate in harmony with gas fixture, a
picture frame, china plaque hung
against the wall or the brio-a- brac which
commonly itters the top Of the sensi-
tive instrument, and the innocent piano
is blamed for the discordant jangle.
Pins, buttons and other things foreign
to the piano which find their way into
the instrument set up complaints and
harsh cries when certain keys are
struck, and recently piano tuner in
Evanston, searching for the "rattle, !"
found and restored to the young woman
who used the instrument her upper set
Of ia lse teeth, which had disappeared
mysteriously the week before.
Besides coins, buttons, pins and
toothpicks, the piano tuner s salvage in
cludes hairpins, pocketknives, paper
cutters, manicure instruments, knitting
needles, matches, jewelry, nails, taoks,
bits Of glass, pieces Of picture wire,
buckles, collar buttons, sleeve buttons,
rings and even money which had been
placed in the case for safe keeping and
then forgotten.-Chicag Chronicle.
Where we cannot invent we may at
least improve. We may give somewhat
of novelty to that which was old, con-
densation to that which was diffuse,
