On that day the young woman, with

No woman in the Cuban colony in
New York is better known or more
popular than Mrs. Calixto Garcia, the
wife of that dauntless Cuban general
whose name has been SO prominently
mentioned of late in connection with
the landing of the American troops at
Baiquiri.
Mrs. Garcia is tall and Of imposing
presence, and, though still handsome
woman, her expressive face shows
traces of her severe experiences as the
wife of a soldier who has passed through
q greater number of vicissitudes than
ordinarily fall to the lot of such. Like
most Cuban women, Mrs. Garcia is do

The Worrxlng Habit.

A prime necessity of our permanent
freedom from worrying is the possession
Of the personal quality commonly known
as sand. II a man has not been endowed
with sand by nature, he must pick it up
for himself. Nobody is going to give
him any, but he can do this easier than
he thinks
Most Of the things we worry over are
only bugbears that fade and disappear
upon the first attack Herein lies the
first secret of success-in attack-and
the great secret lies in persistence. in
keeping always at work. The man who
actually does this. wasting no time. will
find the first thing he knows that he's
stopped worrying, and he laughs lit
tie as he says to himself that he's got
no time to worry. and the next thing he
knows he finds his sandbox is no longer
empty, he's actually got some sand of
his own, and then he is somebody and
begins to find some solid satisfaction in

The Alpine Good NIGHT.

Among the lofty mountains and ele-
waited valleys of Switzerland the Alpine
horn has another use besides that of
sounding the farfamed "Ranz des
Vaches," or COW song, and this is Of a
very solemn and impressive nature.
When the sun has set in the valley
and the snowy SUBMITS of the noun
tains gleam with golden light, the herds
man who dwells upon the highest hab-
liable spot takes his horn and pro-
nounces clearly and loudly through it,
as through q speaking trumpet, Praise
the Lord God. AS soon as the sound is
heard by the neighboring herdsmen
they issue from their huts, take their
Alpine horns and repeat the same words
This frequently lasts a quarter of an
hour, and the call resounds from all the
mountains and rocky cliffs around
When silence again reigns. the herds
men kneel and pray with uncovered
heads. Meantime it has become quite
dark. "Good night' at last calls the
highest herdsman through his horn.
The words resound from all the noun
tains. the horns of the herdsmen and
the cliffs, and the mountaineers then re-
tire to their dwellings. Pittsburg Dis

SHE WON BEAUTIFULLY.
It Cost Him the Better Part Of Cigar to
Learn Politeness.

They boarded an east bound Market
street car at Forty first street. It was

wanted to smoke, having probably just
dined or supped at ball which was be-
ing given in the neighborhood. She
didn't want to smoke and she didn't
want to be separated from him.

''No, he answered. 81 am going to
gmoke. Go inside yourself, and when !
have finished my cigar will join you. .
But this didn't suit her.
"If you stay out here to SMOKE" she
retorted. "I'll stay right with you."
He looked at her a moment, and then
evidently concluded that she was bluff
ing. Pulling out big cigar, he lighted
it, and. settling himself comfortably
against the dashboard Of the car, he be-
gan to pull away as if his life depended
upon it. Nothing daunted. she took q
place alongside of him and calmly fold
ing her arms started up a lively con-
vereatiOn.
The spectacle was an odd one, and at
tracted the attention of every passenger
in the car as well as of those who got
on at various corners. He tried to urge
her inside the car a number of times,
hut she refused to go. In this fashion

way to city hall before be weakened.
The anticipated jeers Of ESe- people be
knew would be ON Market street nj tbs
center of the city were too much for
him, and, throwing away the biggest
end Of his cigar, he sullenly said,
"Well. if you won't go inside without
me suppose I'll have to trot along. -
Then he took a seat away up in the
front end, and she settled herself beside
him. Meanwhile @le whole car smiled

The Old Man Was Cured.

"Talk about curing people Of bad
habits, one of the funniest cases / ever
knew occurred ON the south side some
years ago. said Detective Thomas Nc
Quaide. There was an old fellow over
there who would insist ON fussing with
his wife, who would invariably give
him the worst Of it. Then he would run
up stairs and hang out of the second
story window, holding to the ledge,
shouting like wildfire that he was going
to drop and kill himself. OF course the
wife would relent and set up a noise
that would bring out the neighbors for
blocks, and the man would be pulled
in the window by friends.
"This got to be coming too frequently,
and some of the boys who lived near,
and who had loosened several joints in
their spines at different times pulling
him in, decided to stop it. One fine day
it came again. The old fellow hung out
of the window, shouting that he would
surely jump and end it all; the wife
came rushing into the street In mysteries.
and the Deighbors ran as before to pull
him up. The first man who got there
hit the man. S fingers with stick, max
ing him loosen his hold, and, to the
horror of all, he dropped to the hard
pavement with q howl that was pitiful.
He was not Lady hurt, but it cured
him of that bad habit. "-Pittsburg Dis

The waters of the Grand falls Of Labra-

In Algeria there is river one branch of

in gallit acid. A main stream of jet black
ink is the result.
One of the strangest streams in the

The emperor of Abyssinia is about 6

stoutly built. His skin is very dark,
and he wears short, curly beard and

but is redeemed from positive plainness
by an extremely pleasant expression and
a pair of most intelligent eyes. His
smile takes III wider section of the
circumference of his head than is COM

Governor Lowndes and Judge Nc
