gered few days at Mines, and dined
with us one evening. Minute, whom l
met, and who posed for me before his
departure, proved attractive, and was
very courteous in manner. The little
gathering gave Inc still better oppor-
tunities to weigh the peculiarities of
the greater of the two mn tadores, writes
Lucia Purdy, in Harper's Magazine,
and my impressions concerning his
unusual intelligence and strength of
character were confirmed. Several
who knew him well told me of his vir
tues as the best of husbands and of
fathers, and assured me that his life
was in all respects moderate, we'll
governed one. He cares, il is said but
little for the excitement of social life,
being always far more ready to sit
and talk over his beloved art with con-
genial friends than to be made the
hero OF the hour. at clube or cafe. His
distaste for over convivial and not too
sober admirers goes so far that he has
been constantly known to call for
water and wash his hands after being
forced to submit to the grasp of such
as are unpleasant to him.

CUBANS IN AMERICA.
They Are IIiiter.te and Live In the
simplest and Humbiest
Manner.


The mode of life is very similar to
land. Much of the work is done be-
tween sunrise and the early part of
the forenoon. Then several hours are
given TO rest, most of the work dur
ing the heat of the day being per-
formed by negroes, If in the country
district. During the latter portion of
the forenoon, and often far into the
night, the cigarmakers in their little
houses are busily engaged, sometimes
not retiring to rest until midnight
Their hours of sleep are divided be-
tween the middle OF the day and the
middle of the night, In the factories
proper ventilation is obtained by the
means of fans and other artificial de-
vices. Consequently in the warm
months the employees are able to work
for longer period than the ones Mt
home, but even in the factories ample
time is allowed nj noon not only for
the lunch or dinner but for the siesta,
so popular with residents of the
tropics.
With but few exceptions the Cubans
in Florida live in the humblest manner.

The following incident occurred re-
Gently in one of the largest hotels in
Calcutta. 1t appears that an officer
Of the Gordon Highlanders arrived in
town on his way home. He had large
SUM of money with him-about 1000
rupees-and the usual jewelry of an
English gentleman. These were all
locked in one of his trunks. Return
ing from the dining saloon to his room
the other evening, he was just in time
to see some suspicious looking natives
boiling down the corridor. On enter
ing his room he found on examination
that all his trunks had been forced
open and the contents thrown about;
but, strange to say, not a pieceof his
money was missing nor any item of
jewelry. He believed that TIE bur-
glars were Afridis, and the object of
their cupidity copy of the Koran be-
long to the mad mullah, which they
somehow learned was in his possess
sion. The book was rolled up in an
old singlet and thus escaped the
searchers. who appear to have tracked
the officer from the front.-London

THIEVES ar A WEDDING.
How Some Valuable Jewels Were
stolen at a swell Function
In Paris.

That the high social function should
prove valuable field for the expoita-
ton of the sneak thief is not an en-
tirely new idea. Such operations have
been going on more or less since the
world first heard of the proverbial
wolves in Sleeps clothing. Every once
in awhile there is recrudescence of
this sort of annoyance in large social
centers, and it behooves society people
to have weather eye out for the
crooks A recent letter from abroad
is authority for the story that sneak
thieves in evening dress have been
operating in the fashionable quarters
of Paris of late, to the evaporation of
the police. At the wedding of n noble
pair recently there was CONSERVATION
when the word WAS passed quietly
among few of the guests that high
ly valuable cluster of diamonds, the
gift of the bridegroom to his bride,
had been taken from under the very
nose of the detective set to watch the
presents. Orders were given to bar all
exits untl u search could be made. A
iackey reached n side entrance Just in
time to see tall man pass woman in
evening dress and opera cloak through
the door. Her companion was in the
act of following her when the servant
threw himself on the door, catching
the fellow by the arm. The thief, for
such he was, made frantic effort to
free himself and got away. leaving n
large piece of his overcoat in the door.
The diamonds were not recovered.

LIVE STOCK.
As SIGH to Keep an En-
eager ent.

The persistent man or woman some
times has a reward. by the way, in
the unusual experiences which many
of us do not go forth to seek. Fo-
example. Mrs. Mary A. Liyermore once
travelled as live stock, and all because
she was resolved to keep an engage
ment. A less determined woman
would have broken her promise and
missed the fun.
One night she engaged the proprie-
tor of the best stable in large town
to take her TO the five o'clock train
for Cincinnati, where she was to speak.
II was the only train that Sunday, and
Cincinnati was so miles away
Give yourself no anxiety, madam
said the stable keeper. III am alive

you promptly"
He did not call. Whether he was
dead or not the record does not state.
Mrs. Livermore was very much alive.
She arranged to ride in the cab of n
special engine, which spun merrily
along for "a miles, when IL was blocked
by derailed freight cars; but the time
table told her that n fast cattle train
would leave the next station in seven
minutes. She climbed into n two-horse
beer wagon filed with empty kegs
which threatened to roll on her feet

ON A MAN-OF-WAR.
The Sailors Live Much letter Than
the WorkinEinnn on Land
Their Housekeeping.

"If the truth We're told" said n sea
captains wife few days ago, u ven
ture to say that 90 women out of 100
would rather see the kitchen and din
ing-room arrangements on board a
man-of-war than all the turrets, guns
and fighting apparatus that Uncle
Sans engineers can devise. We all
know just how particular our respec-
tive Johns and Williams and AL
phonsos' are at home, and we are CON
sumed with curiosity to know how
they are going to get on when things
are not ordered with reference to
their own special tastes.
THE sailors on board our American
ships live much better than the work
ingmen on land, or our soldiers, for
that matter. The cook is usually n
japanese and a good man at his bust
ness. When in port the sailors have an
abundance of fresh meat and vege-
tables, and when at sea for any length
of time canned vegetables relieve the
terrors of the old-time regime of salt
horse and plum duff The officers
have u caterer and steward and a spe-.
cial cook, whose ministrations are
worthy of French chefs.
The galley is up to date in all its
appointments, A large hotel range,
with big ovens, fills all one end of the
galley. There are great copper soup
boilers and coffee urns and rows of
bright copper saucepans and pots that
fill the visiting women with envy. The
cupbonrds are as orderly and neat as
can be imagined, for there is no slip
shod housekeeping on board n man-of-
war. The china and glass used at the
officers mess are usually delicate and
dainty, while the silver shines as silver
does not always shine on shore. The
sailor has heavier ware. but even that
is uniformly better than his soldier

her purse, but always takes it with her

she may need car fare. Now the east

and fully 600, including the children,
accepted the invitation. Chief Saltese
made characteristic speech, and was
followed by Peter Widshoe, who
praised the virtues of the deceased. The
chief of the Spokane tribe, whose name
was not learned. was also present and
addressed the assembly. The festivi-
ties began at nine o'clock and lasted
until evening. The feast was given by
the host, Augustus, and must have cost
pretty penny" as excellent food was
served to the vast throng present.
These Indians are rapidly becoming
civilized and are assuming the customs
and dress of the whites more each
year. They have excellent farms, good
houses and machinery, and one pass

generally well built and painted and
look neat and clean, while many have
excellent barns and farms well titled.
They raise large amount of grain each
year and sell it in Tekoa. A large por-
ton Of 1t is loaded ut a side track on

The Humidity Meter

The amount of moisture present. or
the humidity of the air, is determined
by a comparison of dry and wet bulb
thermometers. They are both ordi-
nary thermometers; but the bulb of
the latter is covered with muslin that
is wet. In the latest form of Instru-
ment the thermometers are mounted
on arms carried by shaft that is ro-
tated by crank which is geared to
the shaft. The motion of the shaft ro-
tates the thermometers in vertical
planes and causes the water in the
muslin to evaporate more or less rap
idly according to the amount of mois-
ture in the air. This evaporation low
ers the temperature of the thermom-
eter; and, from tables constructed
after long experiments, the degree of
moisture can be determined by the
