The Cuban girl who has been travelling as
Evangelina Cisneros has abandoned her
Western trip and returned to Washington.
1t appears that the Chicago exhibition was
a financial failure. and the good people in
other Western cities who have invited her
to appear under their auspices Cancelled the
engagements. While there was a good deal
Of sympathy and admiration for the girl,
she was not a drawing card. People will
not pay to see her. Her future is in doubt.
Her chaperons say that she has received
several advantageous propositions, but be-
fore accepting any of them thinks she ought
to consult her father, who is still a pris-
oner in the Cabanas at Havana. There
has been so much humbugging of the pub
lie by the managers of Miss CossiO that
people here are very cautious about believ-
ing anything that is said of her: 1t was
entirely unnecessary for her to take a nom
de guerre She would have been quite as
much of a heroine as Evangelna Cossio as
she was as Evangelina Cisneros, but it was
thought that she would draw larger crowds
if she was advertised as the niece of the
President of the Cuban republic, with her
veins filled with noble blood instead of an
ordinary mechanics daughter, as she is.

Queer Things About Fishes.

Mr.. A. E. Verrill describes the ways
in which fishes sleep. They are very
light sleepers, and frequently assuming
singular positions; but the most re-
markable thing is the change of color
many of them undergo while asleep.
Usually their spots and stripes become
darker and more distinct when they fall
asleep. Occasionally the pattern of
their coloration is entirely changed.
The ordinary porgy, for instance, pre-
sents in the daytime beautiful rides
cent hues playing over it's silvery sides,
but at night, ON falling asleep, it takes
on dull bronze tint, and six conspicu-
Gus black bands make their appearance
on it's sides. If it is suddenly awakened
by the turning up of the gas in the
aquarium it Immediately resumes the
silvery color that it shows by daylight.
Mr.. Verrill ascribes these changes to the
principle of protective coloration,"
and points out chat the appearance of
black bands, and the deepening of the
spots, serve to conceal the fish from
their enemies when lying amid eel
grass and sea-weeds.-Youth's Com

Streaks of Stinginess Prompt Prom.
inent Persons to Do Queer Acts.
No matter whatwealth they may pos
sess; no matter how great their natural
generosity, there is in all rich people
one point where touch of stinginess
lies, and in many cases it takes the
most ridiculous freaks. Then again
there are others who are the strangest
mass of contrariety, as the following
instances and anecdotes will show. A
certain wealthy woman, who throws a
quart bottle OF eau de cologne into her
bath of a morning, sends in next door
for the loan of a newspaper. Another
who pays a thousand a year rent will,
if anything is wrong with the carriage
horses, walk in her most elaborate frock
in hail, wind and storm rather than pay
shilling for a hanson or even penny
in bus. A lady who gives the most
recherche suppers in Park lane, and
whose stationary is noted for its beauty
and price, sends the footman round in
the dark to drop invitations in her
friends letter boxes because she won't
spend the postage. The youthful heir
to title and 6 10000 year delights to
steal into a dingy fried fish shop and
there discuss with the usual habitues
twopenny worth of the fare. A pretty
debutante, the daughter of countess,
steals off her friends tables all the
sweets she can lay her hands on and
next day distributes them among poor
children. A certain foreign princess
has been barmaid, waitress and an
attendant i'm one Of the theaters, and
tells her intimates that she was never
SO happy as when indulging these
freaks. One of the most popular hosts,
who is constantly seen with royalty,
keeps little King Charles dog, to which
he is devoted, shut up perpetually be-
cause he won't pay the license.
A man who drinks two big bottles of
champagne before dinner, smokes the
cheapest tobacco in London and was
never known to offer friend a cigar,
A well-known young and beautiful
countess is never so happy as when over
a washing tub and is constantly to be
found in this position in her own laun-
dry. A famous @. c., who may often be
seen in the vicinity of the law courts
in sable-lined coat worth 6 1000, de-
lights in buying roast potatoes in the
street and eats them walking down On

culiarities of some conspicuous figures

WORK OF SCIENCE.
influence Of Sanitation and Hygiene
Upon City Life.

Upon City Life.
In a recent lecture on what sanitation
has done for human life Prof. Brewer,
Of Yale university, said that no one
doubts that human life has been pro-
longed by the application of science
in the last so years. How much, mathe-
matically, this amounts to in years, in
per cent, is an unanswerable question.
We can never have the data in figures.
Even if we had our vital statistics COM
pleted for that period men would differ
as to the relative values of the several
factors in this problem. Our great
cities would not exist-they could not
exist-without the aids of science. We
have had the ancient Egyptian and
Greek and Roman civilizations, which
were pagan, and later Christian civili-
zation, and all were powerless to con-
vert practices. Between the epidemics
which ragged from time to time and the
high death rate in the best years, the
population of Europe as a whole prob
ably scarcely increased at all for 1000
or 1900 years. This century came in
without a single city in Christendom
with 100000 inhabitants. Paris had
in 1900 but $4,000; London and the
suburbs, in 1901, s64,S45. The other
English cities had less than 100000.
Great cities could not endure then.
First the people could not be fed. Then
most of the food had to be produced
within 20 miles of the place Of con-
sumption. Science has now made It
possible to transport food half way
around the globe and has discovered
new methods of preservation as well.
City population was not self-perpetuat-
ing. Men died off; the death rate was
continually high, and from time to time
there was death by pestilence. Even
where there were sewers they were to
drain the ground of water rather than
to carry away sewage. Now cities are
made nearly as healthy as the country.
