Cuban Sugar and Tobacco.

Tho economic collapse Of Cuba is re-
vealed by few salient figures. Sugar
is the chief article Of export. and 60 per
cent Of the population live on its pro-
duction. In 1894 (before the rebellion)
the total output Of sugar was !, ,050, 600
tons. This season, up to April 30, only
10. coo tons have been manufactured,
and "the total output for the year is
estin ated at less than 200, 900 TONS "
with good luck. Tobacco. the second
great staple Of Cuban trade, is in a
worse plight than sugar. The normal
production is 400, 900 bales. "This year
will SEQ only 90, 600 bales in the mar
ket " In a few weeks tho cigar factories
in Havana will close their doors, which
will throw 80, 900 men and women out
of work The value Of the exports from
Cuba is calculated to have fallen in one
year from e12, 900, 900 to So, 900. 600.
No wonder merchants are of. opinion
that Cuba has received her deathblow.

EUGENE FIELDS HOME.
His Many Queer Clocks and His Library
Of Rare Books.

His Many Queer Clocks and His Library
Of Raro hooks.
One should not always judge a man
by his house, but in the case Of Eugene
Field it seemed as if his house were a
part OF him. It is an old fashioned two
story farmhouse with a wide porch, to
which has been added a large circular
wing with an outside chimney such as
the southerners love. AS you enter the
hall you notice an elaborately orna-
mented old English tall clock of the
kind usually known in this country as
"grandfather's clock. " 1t is one of
three such clocks in the house a second
stands on stair landing. after the
manner of Longfellow's "Old Clock On
the Stair, and third was in Eugene
Fields sleeping room. The last one has
a gong in it like a country dinner bell
and clangs the hour with loud metallic
ring.
In The same room he had a freak
clock" made entirely of wood, that ticks
like a hammer striking hard wood. In
the library there is a quaint little one
made with seesaw-a wee boy and
girl sitting upon log to regulate the
pendulum. This is a very well behaved
little piece of mechanism, as it makes
no noise and is really pretty. Contrasted
with it, standing near Fields writing
table. is plain New England kitchen
clock such as our grandmothers used in
their light, airy kitchens. 1t is me-
dium sized affair of mahogany with q
glass door, on the lower half Of which
are painted impossible red roses and
forgetmeRots. 1t is good old domestic
clock, and went on faithfully ticking
away when the others were cranky and
would not keep the time regularly.
AS you enter the house the library is
on tho left hand. All around the walls
Of the room are bookcases. Suppose we
look at the case beyond the window
which might be called the fairy corner
Here are gathered books of fairy lor,
from all parts Of the world, for ther,
was hardly an old bookstore in London
Paris or Berlin which Mr.. Field did moi
know well. In this wonderful fairy cor
ner are Cossack fairy tales, eastern fairy
tales, legends OF the French provinces
legends Of Ireland, Norway, Germany
Spain, New England and all the modern
English fairy stories. Mary ]. REID

TESTING THE IOWA.

PHILADELPHIA Nov II Tho big soa-
going hattleship Iowa has returned from
her builders triN trip off the Delaware
capes The trial was essentially an en-
gincer trial, Il give the ships builders an
idea Of the povcr of the engircs and the
way in which fhcy worked. and tho speed
deyeiopcd was q secondary consideration
of tho Trip. Nevertheless, on two hours
burst Of speed the ship averaged 1C p
knots at 1l9 revolutions of the screws
This is .27 more than thecontract speed 81
the vessel cslls for, and that the Iowa Is
capable of better time thnn this was showr
when che was occasionally spurted. up 10
the IL knot notch.
The run was made undor forced draft
but with ordinary coal and half the dis
tance was in the face OF rising northwes st
gale ard quite heavy sea. The result Of
the trip was in every way satisfactory to
for the builders
The government was represented Ey
Lieutenant Doyle, ordnance officer ssa-
toned at the yard, and Assistant Engineer
Pickcrsl As usual on the Cramps trips,
Captain Sargent was in command.
When the Iowa passed into the capas
dilcI ltI run ollHuOit, hhc ilttl HNcfHFNN
1927 knots at 113 revolutions The iudi-
Gator cards have not yet been worked out
for the run, but it is approximately shown
that tie engines developed about 1900
horsepower, which is 300 more than was
developed by the engines OF the Indiana on
that ships official trial.
Norequirement of horsepower is exacted
in the ships contract, but she must make
speed Of 16 knots on her official trial.
For every quarter knot made above this II
her builders viii receive premium OF
$4,000.
1t is expected that the ship win be ready
to go on her official trial trip about the
middle of February, and by that time sh,
win be so nearly completed that she car
go into commission in March.

GAMES YOUNG INDIANS PLAY.
ChuEca and Tabahortty Are Among Their
Favorite Pastimes.


Favorite Pastimes.
The first game an Indian boy learns
is chr gga. Any number of boys line up
and crouch down with their knees bent
The boy ON the end shouts "Chuggal'
and al start Off together. The one who
goes fastest and farthest wins the game.
The squatting position of the body must
be maintained throughout. Walking
chugea is very difficult, as it is great
strain ON the muscles Of the back and
legs. Hopping chugga is still more difli-
cult. The STOPPING position is the same,
but only one foot can be used. Even an
expert can rarely hop chugga for 100
feet without stopping or stumbling.
After chugga tho Indian boy learns
pawwit This game requires all the
speed and accuracy at his command.
The posts, with a crossbar between, like
a foe, ball goal, are erected in the open
prairie. The boys cut lances Of hickory
poles about six feet long and scrape
them smooth. Great care is taken to
have these poles we'll balanced and
straight About 80 feet in front Of the
goal &; line is drawn. The same distance
on tho other side a circle is marked on
the ground. The boys take turn in adj
vancing to the scratch line and throw
ing their lances. The pole must pass
over the goal posts, while the boy runs
forward and catches it within the circle
before it alights. If he fails TO catch il
or If it alights outside the circle, he
loses a throw. Each successful catch
counts one point An expert pawwit
player will throw a five foot pole so
feet INTO a ring five feet in diameter
and catch it four times out of five.
Tho most popular game in which both
boys and girls play is called tabahortty.
1t is q good deal like the game called
Farmer Brown, which white girls and
boys play together An Indian bog
stands with folded arms as q great chic
or warrior. The other players move
arouid 4 him in a circle, chanting ans
turning around. A girl, then selected
moves into the circle and kneels at hi
feet
Then the players change their direc
tion, while another is selected as a pa
poosc This player is usually small
boy, who lies fiat on his back at the
girls side. Then boy is called in as 9
dog. He enters. barking and swapping.
A gin follows as a cat, mewing A coy.
ote, q white wolf, bear, an owl, 9
pony. a medicine man and many Other
characters are called into the ring until
the ngers are exhausted. At each cal
the direction Of the circlers is changed.
Than at word from the boy CHIEF
the players form a circle again, eact
impcrsonating tho character he or she
was called into the ring to assume. The
singing. which has hitherto been Low
and even, becomes high and irregular.
1t continues until the boy impersonatinl
the chief steps into the ring again ant
dismlsses the players one by one. Wher
none is left the boy cries 'TabahorttyP
which ends the game. New York Re
