yet been given to the American public
revealing the private life of the Cuban
general who held the flower of the
Spanish army at bay with such unex-
pected success for SO long time.
There are not a half-dozen men in
America who have known Maceo per-
sonally. Two Of these, envied of Gu
bans, are Manuel M. Coronado, the ed
itor of the Havana paper La Discus
sion, who was forced to flee from Cuba
for his life on account of his papers

and Antonio Bolet. who served on Gen

had entertained him at his house, and
had learned to have a great respect for
his personality. 1t was about five years
ago, when Maceo was visiting promi-
nent Cubans in Havana, that Mr.. Coro-
nado saw him almost daily. He says
that Maceo was a natural politician in
that he had the genius of divining pop
ular opinion and taking the leadership
of popular movements. He was in Ha-
vana at that time sounding men and
scheming for the present revolution.
He was always of the sunniest DISPOSE

strictest moral integrity; he never

Love Up = Tree in Fill.

Billing and cooling among the Fijians
Is curious feature in their social GUS
toms. 1t is decidedly against the rule
to do any counting within doors. The
gardens or plantations are the spots
held sacred to Cupid, and the generally,
approved trysting place of lovers is
high up among the branches of a bread
fruit tree. You may often walk round
a plantation on moonlight night and
see couples perched forty feet from the
ground in the bread fruit trees, one on
each side of the trunk. a position which
comes fairly within the limits of FL

coming impatient. he again demanded
surrender, to meet with the information
that the owner of the plantation had es-
capped and the threat that within thirty
minutes Maceo's men would be there to
turn the tables. The capture of Maceo
meant promotion and large reward,
and the sergeant decided to attack the
three men, who were armed at most
with revolvers and machetes.

After the peace CT pact OF Saujon,
as 1t is sometimes called, which closed
the war OF 1878, there was what is
termed by the Cubans "the little war"
A few of the more stubborn chiefs re-
fused to treat on any other terms than
independence for the island, and, hay
ing but little faith in the promises Of
Spain through General Martinez Cam
pos, waged an active guerrilla warfare
for fully year after. One of the best
known leaders, perhaps the foremost
one in this little war;" was Antonio
Maceo. On a clandestine visit to one of
his many silent adherents, accompan-
led only by two of his faithful and de-
voted soldiers, he was surprised by a
squad of nine ''guardia civiles" while
at dinner with his host, small coffee
planter. The sentinel had barely time
to warn him before the house was sur
rounded, and the Spanish sergeant,
from behind protecting mango tree,
summoned Maceo and his two men to
surrender. Knowing what the conse-
quences would be for his host. his wife
and their child, a boy of seven, if they
were taken, his first thought was for
their safety; and. bidding them to leave
by the rear, If his ruse was successful,
he calmly told the sergeant of his will
ingness to discuss the terms Of his sur
render. After some parley at long dis
lance, Maceo proposed that he and his
escort lay down their rifles, the guardia
ciyiles to do the same in plain sight.
The sergeant consented to this, and
upon the terms being carried out prom
Used freedom to his escort and good
| treatment to Maceo. The latter asked
for a few minutes to consider the prop
osition, and marched back with his es-
cort into the house. leaving the rifles

Telephone Used in Teaching Deaf Mutes.
The medical officer of one of the
leading deaf and dumb institutions OF
England. writing to the London Lane
ct, says that he has obtained material
aid from the seeming improbable
source of loud-speaking telephone in
the treatment of his patients. In the
education of those deaf mutes who pos
sess a fragment of hearing power the
telephone possesses many important
advantages over the speaking tube
usually employed. First and foremost,
the wires from several receivers can
be counled up to one transmitter, and
thus teacher can instruct a group OF
children at the same time; and, sec
ondly, it is not necessary for the teach
er to apply his mouth close to the
transmitter, so that pupils have a full
view Of the facial expressions and lip
movement, which is not possible when
he has to direct his voice into the
mouth-piece of speaking-tube OF
trumpet. The patient while seeing the
movement of the lips has the sound
conveyed close to his ear drum. oh.
viously most advantageous combipa-
ton.

his operas, the chief OF which
"Manon," is familiar to lovers of grand
opera in America. With Massenet
permanently residing in the United
States Americans will have the adyant-
age of his personal leadership in the
production of his operas. Tender and
melodious as is ''Manon," it does not
greatly overshadow his other operas in
grandeur and tenderness. His versatile
ity is shown plentifully in "Roi de
Lahore" lie Mage and la Cid" In
addition to the works mentioned above
Massenet has written the cantatas
called Eve, Mystery" MARY Mag

forte is in the musical protrayal of pas
sion, and the salient quality OF his
operate works appears in his religious
music, which is of the ecstatic kind.

stop the study of music and dismissed

We swept, and heard the pine-boughs

That in the magic moonlight lay
In silver silence, all a-dream!

With eager, yet reluctant feet,

The Horseless Carriage.

Next to the bicycle, the horseless car
riape will, for short rides, be the me-
chanical conveyance of the greatest
blessing to humanity, and the interest
of the public in this vehicle will be so
great that inventors and manufactures
will redouble their energies to make
n conveyance that will fill this demand.
The horseless carriage which is to De

When this time comes the advantages
of such mode of conveyance Will be so
MANY that the problem OF traversing
short distances will be satisfactorily
solved. Inasmuch as one of the great

grade of bicycles the world over has
recently reduced the price OF It's wheei'
very materially, we look with encour
agement to this firm to be the one u

the lowest one in price, considering I'M

When the horseless carriage come
down in price it will become 1ecessi
