dent Of the Washington Star. It's
about the only place where he does not
smoke. He smokes in the street cars,
he smokes At the public dining-table,
he smokes everywhere. The presence
OF women is not considered at all.
When coffee is brought ON the table,
the Spaniard or Cuban lights his cigar
or cigarette and begins to send up
clouds Of smoke. He never even thinks
Of saying to the ladies: by your leave"
for the custom Of the country is to
smoke everywhere. On the railway
trains there is no smoking compare
ment, for man is privileged, and, in
fact, expected, to smoke everywhere.
II he is not smoking, his neighbor will
offer him a cigarette. The driver of
your coach will smoke and very likely
offer you a cheroot. At the opera the
man will walk and smoke between the
sets in the spaces behind the boxes and
balconies. You will see finely dressed,
seemingly well-bred men, with ladies
In full evening toilet, entering the

One of the odd sights to stranger Is
that afforded by the negro women, who
smoke big, long and black cigars in the
street. It was here that the smoking
habit, which has spread around the
world, had it, start, and the Cubans are
still more devoted to their cigars than
any other people. The cigar industry
and the tobacco trade give employmen
to . large portion Of the population Of
Havana. In every quarter one will run
across small establishments where
from two to ten men are employed
making cigars, and some children and
women engaged IN stripning tobacco

The Prolific Life of Alaska.
John Muir in the January Atlantic.

John Muir in the January Atlantic.
John Muir, who has summered
and wintered in the Alaskan lands,
towards which all mems eyes and
many mems feet are now turning, says
in the January Atlantic: Nowhere in
my travels so far have / seen SO
much warm-blooded rejoicing life as
in this grand Arctic reservation by so
many regarded as desolate. Not only
are there whales in abundance along
the shores, and innumerable seals,
walruses and white bears, but great
herds of fat reindeer on the tundras,
and wild sheep, foxes, hares, Jennings.
whistling marmots and birds. Perhaps
more birds are born here than in any
other region of equal extent on the
continent. Not only do strong-winged
hawks, eagles and waterfowl, to whom
the length of the continent is only
pleasant excursion, come up here
every summer in great numbers, but
also many short-winged warblers,
thrushes and finches, to rear their
young in safety, reinforce the plant
bloom with their plumage, aud sweeten
the wilderness with song, flying all
the way, some OF them, from Florida,
Mexico, and Central America. In
thus going SO far north they are only
going home, for they were born here,
and only 60 south to spend the winter
months, as New Englanders, go to
Florida. Sweet-voiced troubadours,
they sing in orange groves and vine
clad magnolia woods in winter, in
thickets of dwarf birch and alder in
summer, and sing and chatter more or
less all the way back and forth, keep
ing the whole country glad. Oftentimes
in New England, just as the last snow
patches are melting, and the sap in
the naples begins to flow, the blessed
wanderers may be heard about orchards
and the edges of fields where they
have stopped to CLEAN a scanty meal,
not tarrylng long. knowing they have
far to go. Tracing the footsteps of
spring, they arrive in their tundra
homes in June or July, and set out on
their return journeys in September
or as soon as their families are able to
! fly well.

Mamma, what's Christmas?"

While he il waiting for his reply he
informs the insurance company from
which he has bought the policy that

He gives as his witnesses the doctor

Generally these witnesses are salts

1.-THE extent TO which this newest
game is being played" said detective
for big accident insurance company
the other day, "will never be known.
1t is almost impossible to catch man
at it. We may be morally certain
that he is playing a crooked scheme
on ms and yet we cannot prove it.
The doctor has signed the certificate
in good faith, the witness to the ac-
cident swears that he saw the man
fall with sufficient force to produce
the injury, and there you are. We
cannot produce any witnesses to OIL
set the testimony of the physician or
the conductor.
ain using the sandpaper and the
mustard plaster the man runs abso-
lutely no risk of sustaining q perma-
nent injury. The pain of producing
the wound is trivial and except for q
little burning when the plaster is ap-
piled, the poor fellow suffers no in
convenience.
al have seen cases that I knew
we're frauds, and yet were done so ar
tistically that n clinic would not dis
cover il.
"When the really clever men play,
they injure the knee in preference to
other parts Of their body. II is easier
to affect limp than stiff arm, and
by little judicious touching up of
the skin, sandpapering it here and
there, the effect obtained is precisely
the same as il a man had fallen and
barked his leg.
"They only play one company at q
time. Should they buy three or four
different policies they would either
have TO swear to lie when asked
them il they were insured in any
other companies, or else they would
admit that they were and thus lay
themselves open to suspicion.
Any man who is reasonable good
actor and has sufficient disregard
for the truth can play the trick, and
with comparative safety"

SINCE Klondike" came into active
use as a word, that other one OF curious
etymology, nugget" is much heard.
The tradition is that when the first
bit of gold in its natural state was
discovered in New South Wales, in
1851, by shepherd, he called it his
"snug get" Another was found in
Victoria in 1852. There are three
enormous nuggets (or snug gets') OF
notoriety-the Sarah Sands nugget,
found at Ballarat, that weighed l,56O
ounces, and was worth, at $40 an ounce
$31, 200; the Welcome nugget, also
found at Ballarat, weighed lSi pounds
and sold for $4,000; and the Blanche
Barkley nugget, dug out at Kingower,
weighing las pounds, and sold for 1885,

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING" JAM H. $685.

Durrant was never tried for the
murder of Miss Williams, but the evil
dence of his guilt was as conclusive as
in the Lamont case. Miss Williams
lived in Alameda, and on the after
noon she was murdered Durrant was
seen to meet her at the ferry and
board Il west bound car. She went to
the city for the purpose of attending
an entertainment to be given by the
church in the evening, and it is sup
posed that when Durrant met her he
made an appointment before going to
the entertainment. At any rate, Miss
Williams went to the home of friend
i'll the city, and at 7 80 o'clock started
for the entertainment. Half an hour
later she was seen standing in front of
Emmanuel Baptist church, talking to
Durrant. She was never seen again
alive. At $50 that night Durrant ar
rived at the residence of Mrs. Vogel,
where the entertainment was being
given, with flushed face and in high
ly nervous condition. He asked to be
shown to toilet-room, in order that
he might wash his hands, and later
asked that the person who directed
him should say nothing about the in
cident. When he was arrested at
Mount Diablo, Miss Williams purse
was found in his overcoat pocket.
Durrant said he found the purse on
the sidewalk while going home from
the entertainment. He was seen in
the vicinity of the church at IL o'clock
that night, and it is supposed that he
went back to the library where he had
strangled Miss Williams, and finding
her breathing feebly, cut her wrists
and forced part Of her clothing down
her throat.
The theory of the prosecution has
always been that Durrant murdered
Miss Williams to conceal the murder
Of Miss Lamont. The two young wo-
men were acquaintance, and Durrant
suspected that Miss Williams believed
he knew something about the disap-
pearance of Miss Lamont.
II anything more was wanting to
awaken an intuitive belief in the guilt
Of Durrant, it was the conduct of the
mother when brought beside the brok-
en-, strangled corpse of her son, after
execution, when few tears and the
exclamation, "Oh, my Theo; you can
not come back but perhaps it is for
the best you cannot" was all the out
ward evidence of agitation. And what
followed is astounding. She dried her
tears and asked for something to eat.
A luncheon was brought from the
captains mess. There sitting beside
her dead she ate hearty meal and
asked for more. Here is afforded
trait of character which through her.
edity may account for all with which
the murderer was charged. The Dur
rants possess no ordinary personality.
Their dispositions are abnormal. Des-
titute of heart, it is proper that their
judgment should be rendered by the
cold dictates of reason.

DEATHS IN THE NAVY. 1ssl-s5.

It appears that disease carried off more than the casualties of war and other ac- cidents, and 2272 violent deaths were not all due to war service. but incident to or dinary service. Thus, there were 10 deaths from accidental shooting, 37 from scalds and burns 265 by drowning, IA suicides, etc.: and the final totals chargeable to casualty of war were 1894 dead from gun shot wounds, etc., 95 dead from cruelty In Confederate prisons, and 373 deaths from other causes, making a total of 2272. The surgeon-general also reported 1858 wound ed, but gives no information of the num- Der who recovered The total violent dead for the war were, however, 2272. Large as this number appears, 1t falls short of the general idea of the mortality incident to war Some of the engagements, In which fleets were engaged and thousands of lives were exposed, did not result in great losses, and the following table of notable incidents during the war will show how slight the losses were when the results are considered.
