ON THE SPANISH MAIN.
The Ancient Cruising Ground Of Wicked
Buccaneers
Especial Corrrsvnadence.


Especial Corrrsuuadence.
PUERTO CABELIo, Coast of Venezuela,
Aug. 1.-Venezuela and its present re.
lations with the powers have of course
been nearly "donc to death, " but there
is one long episode in the history Of this
country which has been overlooked.
refer to the buccaneering times, when
richly laden Spanish galleons swept the
coast and eager French and English men
pursued them as lawful prey. This
whole stretch of coast from the island
of Trinidad to the isthmus of Panama
was then known as the Spanish main,
the home of the Spaniards who had
made their settlements all along the
south shores of the Caribbean sea.
Only yesterday was looking at an
old house, said to date from the times
of the great English pirate, Drake, )"
as the Spaniards called him. 1t stands
on one of the principal streets of Puerto
Cabello, is well preserved and even in
fine condition. And off this excellent
harbor (Which is called the Port Of the
observation-disclosures a ship would
not go adrift if moored by hair) there
is an old stone fort, also dating from
those troublous times of pirates and
buccaneers. Both house and fort have
an interesting history, and particularly
the fort, for it is directly off this stone
fortress, right out to sea- that, tradition
states, lie the remains Of Sir Francis
Drake, the original buccaneer by royal
favor At least there he was swung
over the side Of his ship in the year
15S6-all there was of HMM lead
en- coffin ard sunk to the bottom Of the
sea. "Down went Sir Francis to the
bottom of the sea" and it was on that
same disastrous voyage, off the island
of Puerto Rico, that his knighted COM
patriot, Sir John Hawkins, had been
disposed Of in like manner.
This was the last Of them, but not Of
their class, for the buccaneers continued
to wage war upon Spanish shipping 100
years after that 1t was in 1868, or a
year before Shakespeare was born, that
Hawkins made a most profitable voyage
to and from the coast Of Africa, bring
ing to the West Indies q cargo OF slaves.
He was the great original SLAYER, as his
friend Drake was the royal freebooter
When Hawkins couldn't sell his slaves
and make good round profit, he bonn
barded the cities Of the SpHriards and
sacked them afterward, aud Drake did
the same. AT first the enemies of Spain
were fitted out as privatecrs or letters
Of marque, with permission from their
respective governments to prey upon
the commerce of their common enemy.
But finally, as Spain's commercial star
sank toward the horizon, the privateers
and their successors found it more prof
liable to engage in indiscriminate plum
dering, and then they were regarded as
pirates and hanged accordingly when
ever caught. The only difference be-
tween privateer and a common pirate
was that the former had the sanction of
his government and the latter went
without, and so became common prey.
The buccaneers held a position sort of
half way between the two, being not so
bloodthirsty in general as the pirates

the manufacturers tact and originality.
Never before have there been so many
different designs in this line of furni-
turo in vogue as at the present time. 1t
is almost impossible to cite q style or
period of art that is not in some way
represented by modern production. 1t
would seem as if the whole gamut Of
fashion, both past and present, had
been experimental upon by the perse-
vering manufacturer. 1t is refreshing to
note that among first class hOusefur-
nishcrs there is a demand for better
quality of work than has been requested
for some years past. Fer some consider
able time furniture designed on the lines
Of historic styles has given place to Gre
ations i'll which quaintness has been the
leading characteristic, and i'll which
many Of the traditions have received
but little consideration. a little novelty
is a good thing, but it should be intro
duced judiciously. An OVERRIDING Of any
good thing kills it. 1t is refreshing to
find occasionally manufacturer that
realizes this fact and holds TO good
epochs il spite Of the caprices of Dame
Fashion.
The French style has always been

always will be, but there is a notable

Washington, Jan. 22.-The silver con-

those who have managed the meeting.

dred silver men were present at to-
days conference under the auspices of
the American Bimetallic league. Gen.

Mice love pumpkin seeds, and will be
attracted to q trap baited with them
when they will pass by piece of meat.
A thin coating made of three parts

applied to stoves and CRATES, will pre-

To keep flatirons clean and smooth,
rub them first with piece of wax tied
in cloth and afterward scour them on

The best way to remove sand and grit
from small fruit, when washing is nee
essary, is to lay the fruit loosely in a
clean basket and dip the basket into
fresh, clean water.
Currants dried at home for winter
use are much nicer than those that can
be bought and are easily done. Pick
them over and remove the stems, spread
them on plates, sprinkle well with
sugar, and dry them in the sun or in "A

1t is said that if lamp wick Is
soaked in vinegar "a hours before being
placed in the lamp clearer flame will
be insured. Wicks should be changed
often, as they soon become clogged and
do not permit the free passage of the
oil.
If cloth is wet in vinegar and then
wrung out as dry as possible with the
hands and wrapped around cheese and
then the whole put in large paper bag
and kept in a cool place the cheese will
retain the moisture and freshness of a
new-cut cheese, and will not mold.
The severe itching and smarting pro-
duced by being poisoned with ivy OAK
or dogwood may be relieved by washing
the parts affected with solution of
saleratus water-two teaspoonfuls to a
pint of water-and then applying cloths
wet with extract of witch hazel.
If oil is spilled on carpet immediate
ly scatter corn meal over it, and the oil
will be absorbed. Oil that has soaked

ing a thick piece of plotting paper over
it and pressing with hot flatiron; re-
peat the operation, using a fresh piece
of paper each time.
Often a defective cover will be found

press the putty in around the crevice;
when the putty becomes hard the jar
will be found air tight.
