Letter Delivery in Cuba.

What would be thought in the
United States if city of nearly 300,-
900 inhabitants had no public letter
delivery system? Yet such is the case
in Cuba. There is sort of delivery
which requires the recipient of the
letter to pay the carrier in addition to
the postage; but the system is not in
general use. The postoffice building
is as old as the memory of man run
meth, and modern facilities for hand
ling the mails are conspicuously ab-
sent. Box rent is "away up in the
pictures, and small box that would
cost about Sc year in the Estates"
brings here $4S year in gold. This
is,not lock box, either. The post
office is in an out-of-the-way place
and smells of the mold of years.
Havana needs new building, with all
the late improvements and system
of delivery like that of the United
States. Those who can do so send
their letters now to the steamer Mas
cot.o and mail them with Uncle Sans s
representative, but this is an expen-
sive process, requiring the hiring of a
boat'for each mail. The operation of
the postoffice by the United States in
the near future is one of the dreams
OF the American in Havana. Louis

on furlough from tho United States
Signal Corps. Mr.. Olive secured his
place in this branch of the service be-
cause he was able to go high in the
air and keep his head while stringing
ropes and wires. Before joining tho
army he was professional steeple-
climber. He has worked on the high
est domes and steeples in the United
States, including the dome of the Ma.

A fire, with its consequences, in the
courthouse at Easton, Md, recently,
furnishes hint for the novelist or the
dramatist. To counteract the damp
ness in the vault of the probate court
an oil stove was lighted. 1t was neg
lected, with the result that fire was
communicated to some unified and un-
recorded papers, which were charred
beyond recognition. One of these
papers was the will of late resident
OF st. Michael's, who, for reasons not

daughter, with SO, bequeathing
the bulk of his small estate to the

1t is well to sometimes rub the wires
gently with chamois or a flannel cloth,
and to pass soft muslin over the
sounding board by means of slender
point which will slip between the wires
and engage the cloth, which may then
be carefully moved over the surface,
taking off the dust. A steel crochet
hook or stout knitting needle will
answer the purpose.
1t is advisable to keep little cam
phor gum inside the case, for if the

felt used in various parts, it will serve
as means of protection against the
moth. The temperature of the room
should be moderate, and as even
as may be. Extreme heat that is
drying should always be avoided, as
when piano stands, as is often the
case, too near stove, register or
CRATE fire. An instrument should be
opened for shore time each day; if it
is not much used this is especially de-
sirable.
Often there appears sort of bloom
upon the case, or the wood looks dingy,
and seems to be in need of cleaning.
1t is, however, very uncertain work to
to attempt to improve the fine finish
of piano with polish, so much Of
which is advertised as making piano
look like new. Instead, the method
recommended and used by profes.
sional tuner is one that may be safely
tested, with the certainty that it will
not be the means of gathering addi-
tional dust, as oils and polishes are
apt to do.
Take the finest toilet soap and luke
warm water, and wash a little of the
piano at time, as you would wash
baby's dirty face, using a soft cloth,
such as Canton flannel, working upon
space not larger than your hand.
Wipe it off with clear water, and rub
we'll with clean Canton flannel until it
is perfectly dry and well polished.
The fine soapsuds does not affect the
original finish in the least, but simply
removes that which obscures it, and,
il rubbed absolutely dry, with brisk
motion. the result is that the piano is

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.


The sofa cushion has become a,

the shirt waist is of the personal

smiles.
The newest cushion to-day is the
one whose cover is made of the famous
canvas work in cross stitch. The
beauty of this cross stitch work is in
its possibilities of infinite gradations
OF color; with an intricate design one
can use ten or fifteen shades of the

Having Good Ventilation.

The poets melancholy days have
come" and with them the season for
starting the furnace, that foe to all
plant life. The writer is thorough
believer in that form of house heating,
but it must be saiG that the ordinary
furnace-heated house is bad place in
which to grow plants. The air seems
to have had all the dampness removed,
and that moist condition so conducive
to good growth in plants is not found.
This may in a measure be overcome by
means of evaporation, which, while
not supplying great amount of moist
ure, should do something toward re-
lieving the bad condition of She at
mosphere.
Place jars or pans of water in,
around or about the furnace. hang
buckets of water down inside the furn-.
ace pipes below the registers, or place
them anywhere hat rapid evaporation
may be induced.
Keep all the plants in light, airy
locations, but away from drafts. Never
consign wellgrown specimen palm
to corner of the room, though it may
look better there. Its beautiful ap-
pearance will last short time only in
the dark, close place. 1t may seem
strange to some, but the very best
place in the house, if the temperature
can there be maintained at an even
point, is the kitchen, because of the
constant evaporation of water as it
puffs forth from the spout of the tea
kettle.-Woman's Home Companion.

A Talismanic Ring.

A mysterious ring regarded as a
talisman is owned by the imperial
house of Hohenzollern. 1t belonged
to the Palatine Johann Licero, and is
deposited in the imperial treasury,
sealed up in packet, bearing the fol-
lowing inscription written by the
hand Of King Frederick William ~. !:
II opened this packet in the presence
OF my sister Louise to convince myself
of its contents. 1 then closed and
sealed it and returned it to Prince
Wittgenstein's safo keeping"
King Frederick H., on ascending to
the throne, discovered box contain
ing ring set with black stone. To
the ring ticket was attached, written
by Frederick L., which ran as follows:
''This ring was given to me by my
now sainted sovereign father on his
deathbed; with the remark that as
long as the ring remained in the pos
session of the house of Brandenburg
the dynasty would prosper and in-
crease" Emperor William l., who
instructed his master of the treasury
as to the safe keeping of the ring, put
no faith in its miraculous virtues.
The ring had been shown to him by
his sovereign brother and it had also
been seen by his consort and their
son, Prince Frederick. The stone, as
far as he could remember, was not
black, but simply dark. His family,
he said, had for generations set great
store by it, and there was no reason
for exposing it to the light, seeing it
was securely ed.-Chicago Rec

In our recent TRADE against the dis

any private citizen or to give vent to
any personal autagonistic feeling against

most 10 purge the Granite City of dives
that would bring disgrace to the worst

portions of New York or Chicago.
10 that end we have drawn the atten-
ton of the owners of those houses where
in this degradation is known to thrive
to what it should be their duty to invesIi-
gate, and if some of those men believe
in the religion they constantly preach
will do their share in ejecting from
their property the people who are re-

make the night hideous on River Street,
If these sanctimonious real estate own
ers do not do their duty then they are
more responsible than anyo else and
should be made to suffer accordingly
for there certainly is law in the book
of Vermont Statutes which fully covers
the case both for owner and tenant. We
not care to be unjust and believe that
these owners should be given chance
to investigate if it is possible that they
are not already aware of what they are
countinancing. If after due warning
they are still satisfied with the situation
then lot the good laws Of the state Of
Vermont bring them before the judge
ment they deserve. 7"
