AMERICAN EcceNTRlclTY.

Frenchmcn Never Tire of Talking Of Our
Queer Freaks.
The French people never tire of re-
lating anecdotes Of the eccentricity and
enormous wealth of Americans.
An American went into hairdress-
er's shop In Paris recently and found
charming but poorly dressed girl en-
gagged in negotiations with the propri-
etor. She was offering to sell him her
magnificent head Of hair for three napo-
leons-the man would give her no more
than one. AT last the poor girl gave
way with tears, and the barber was
about to employ the fatal scissors when
the American interviewed and demanded
the cause Of the sad affair.
He found that the girls parents, who
formerly had been well off, were in the
last extremity Of poverty, and that she
had determined to make SO great a sac
riflce in order to obtain them little
bread. The stranger drew out two bank
notes and offered them to the girl, say
ing:
"Will You let me buy your hair?"
Without even looking at the notes, the
girl at once said, Eyes"
The American delicately took single
hair, put it in his pocketbook--and fed.
Not till he had gone did she look at
her bank notes. and found them to be of
the value Of 500. -Elmira Telegram.

GoTHAM'S ELEVATED ROADS.

Thirty Thousand Pieces Year Turned
Over to the Lost Property Department.
At terminal points on the elevated
railroads, South ferry, for example, the
guards on the trains go through the cars
and pick up anything that may have
been left by the passengers and turn it
over to the train dispatcher at the sta
ton, who delivers it to the superintend-
emit Of the lost property department Of
the Manhattan Railway company, at 80
Greenwich street. There the article Is
inspected and record Of the finding of
it. with a description Of the article, is
made in book kept for that purpose;
there is book for each division of the
road. Then it is wrapped mp, properly
tagged or labeled, and held to await its
owner. Sometimes the ownership Of
package is discovered upon examining it.
Then IL it Is not called for the company
notifies the owner Of the finding of it.
In this way articles are restored to their
owners daily.
Umbrellas are the articles most nu-
merously found. OF these there are found
from 2,600 to 5000 year; they are of
all kinds and qualities. The number of
umbrellas found increases from year to
year about in the same proportion as the
increase OF travel Next to umbrellas in
the numbers found come satchels, and
after them, about In the order named,
come hats, shoes, books and the various
things that are done up in packages.
There are found also watches, diamonds,
hardware. music, bottles and in the
course Of the year many other things in
great variety.
Altogether from the various divisions
Of the road there are turned over to the
lost property department about 10000
pieces year. About half of these lost
articles are called for. Articles of small
value are kept six months; articles of
greater value are kept year. Things
not called for are finally sold by public
auction at sales held semiannually.-

Cs,sr Of ,he Anx,, Ism Flag.

There was quite q dispute among a
group OF Beers over the color OF the Eng
lish flag. There was much difference of
opinion on the subject, until an old pa
triarch, clad in blue shirt and soiled
yellow moleskin trousers arose. He knew
nothing about the English, but he was
solid on the color OF the flag. When he
stood up there was q murmur Of "Oom
Peet," and q respectful pause. ''The
English flag" he said, with an air of
placid certainty, "is white" There was
q general cry Of expostulation. which had
no sort Of effect on the old warrior.
"Don't known" he asked, gently; 81

Zone day happened to read an ad-
vertisement of S. S. s., recommending
that remedy for cancer, and in view of
the failure of the most eminent physi-
clans in the country, I confess / had
little faith left in any human agency.
However, purchased a bottle of S.S.S.,
and to my delight it seemed to benefit
her. After she had taken couple of
bottles the cancer began TO heal, and
astonishing as 1t may seem, a few bot
ties more cured her entirely. You can
probably better understand how re-
markabie this cure was when Iexplain
that the cancer had eaten two holes in
the breast two inches deep. These
healed up entirely, and although ten
years have elapsed, not a sign of the
disease has ever returned, and we are
assured of the permanence of the cure,
which we at first doubted.
''As my wife inherited the cancer, !
certainly regard S. s. S. as the most
wonderful remedy in the world, and it
il truly a Godsend to those afflicted
with this terrible disease. You may
be sure that shall always be grateful
to that remedy, for without it my home
would now be desolate and my chill
dren motheriess.'
The above is but one of many re-
markabfe cures being daily made by
8. s. s. Cancer is becoming alarm

such variety of forms, that any lump,

WHY HRSITATEf

In spite of all the Spaniards can do,
arms and munitions Of war are daily
landed in Cuba. There is war on tina,
island, notwithstanding sll that Senators
Hale and Hoar may say to the contrary.
Why this delay on the part Of the presi.
dent in recognizing the belligerency Of q
brave people making heroic struggle fol
freedom?
With or without such recognition, it is
now very evident that the Cuban revo-
lutionists will win. But they could dc
so more easily with such recognition.
Spain is doomed to lose this last Of her
American possessions.
1t is now more than seventy-five years
since she lost her vast possessions on
the American continent by reason Of
brutal and stupid tyranny. Cuba ought
to have gone at the same time, but bet
ter late than never. Spain is an old,
worn-out withered and dried-up mon.
arcby, her people unfit to govern them
selves and her governmental machinery
utterly inadequate to the control Of out
lying dependencies; more than that, 1t Is
poisonous and destructive to them.
II is natural for the American people to
sympathize with Cuba in her struggle.
and they will hail with delight the day
when Spain is driven from American
shores and out Of American waters.
From the days Of Corsez and Plzarro and
the rest of the cutthioat conquestadores
down to the present, the rule Of Spain on
this continent has always been one Of
rapacity and murder. Let IL end.

AN INNOCENT INTRUDER.
He Engaged Rooms. but Then Found That
He Was Not Welcome.


An amusing story Is told Of the early
daysof the Margaret Lonise home. The
home. as is we'll known, was built by
Mrs. Elliott +. Shepard as a woman q
hotel. under the auspices of the Young
Wome1's Christian association.
The first day the building was open
Miss Altman, ths directress. was told
that q gentleman had called to look at
rooms. Taking it for granted that he
wished to engage board for some woman
relative, she sent an attendant to show
him the rooms. He expressed himself as
much pleased and engaged suit. At
nightfall tho following day Miss Alt
man was informed by the Mortified at
tendant that "a man had come to occupy
the rooms" which he claimed to have
engaged the preceding day. In the hall
her startled eyes recognized the dignified
gentleman of the day before, accompa-
MED by colored valet with dress suit
case in one hand, portmanteau in the
other, and with an expressman with o
big trunk bringing mp the rear.
Miss Altman advanced and politely
requested an explanation. This caused
the gentleman to grow very red in the
face, while the valet rolled his eyes in
disapproval and the expressman waited.
The gentleman declared that he had
come to take possession Of the rooms he
had engaged and had been refused the
keys.
"Oh, but you cannot occupy the
roomsl" she exclaimed. "This is a wo-
mans hotel. The valet dropped the
portmanteau. the expressman smiled,
while beads Of cold. perspiration be-
spangled the would be boarder's brow,
as he explained, that going by. he had
seen the place and, installing 1t for a
select hotel. was so much pleased with
his inspection that he had persuaded his
nephew to come also and that prob
ably the young man would arrive by s
O'Clock. Then. with many apologies.
he beat hasty retreat. That evening
Miss Altman received the nephew, who
proved to be dashing young society
man, who. when he heard Of his uncle's
innocent mistake, was greatly amused
and laughed heartily. - New York
