Who Is sentimental nowadays? Men al
ways were ashamed of showing them
selve Sc. They eschewed tears and hid
their feelings under a mask of stolid
Indifference. New women nave followed
their example. A brusqueness and bru-
tally of speech has taken the place Of
sentiment and softness.
Women nave ceased to indulge in tears,
they will soon lose the power of emotion,
and the of such a safety valve
to sorrow is considered out of date, to
look grieved a sign of poverty of intellect.
Children sit dry-eyed at a touching play,
and their mothers remark on the admir-
able way the darlings behaved.
Possibly those who have no sentiment
suffer less from 1ffe's rubs, but, then
again, surely they lose a great capacity
for happiness. "A world without sentiment
may be prosperous, rich and comfortable,
but will inevitably prove also deadly dull.

 Unique things are constantly coming to the surface among lawyers. One that has just cropped out is man who is willing to spend $5 to obtain possession of a portion of the city of Pittsburg.
 One of the prominent lawyers of Pittsburg and one who is accustomed to receive a good compensation for his ability and years of experience received a letter from prospective client. It was dated at Nopella, Ills. The address on the envelope was as follows: Mir. Postmaster, Pittsburg, Penna. Please hand this to some good attorney. The postmaster followed instructions. and this is what the attorney found:

Novel Fs.eans For Destroying Property
 Adopted by Cuban Insurgents.
 Confirmation has been received by the Cuban junta in New York of the burn ing of the Espana, Angelito and San Vicente, Moralea, Emperado, Colina and many other extensive sugar estates ill Matanzas.
 The insurgents are using hundreds of the maja and jubo snakes 10 assist them i'll reducing to ashes the sugar cane fields. The snakes. are dipped in cans of crude petroleum grease. They are then set on fire and released in the canefields. The blazing reptiles. dive under the dry leaves, which cover the ground to depth of several feet at this time of the year, make at once for the heart of the plan tation and run distance of several hundred yards before they clear the fire from their bodies or are roasted to death.
 The intensity of the heat causes the snakes to shoot through the cane like 8 streak of lightning. aud they leave be- hind them a sheet of flame which spreads with wonderful rapidity. The sugar cane is full of juice and alcohol at this season, and the cane burns like torches, as rapidly as pine shayings.
 While the cane is burning there is 8 constant roaring and popping sound, like the rattle of musketry fire. It pro- ceeds from the bursting of the cane, caused by the rapid generation of gas from the heat. The sap from the cane exudes, boils and is quickly converted into alcohol which feeds and keeps up the confagration until every stick of cane on a plantation is burned. New York Recorder
