which Is being run by syndicate. has
caught on in Queens buildings, and
when our representative visited 1t on
Good Friday ha'porths Of hot water
were very much in demand. In such
a crowded neighborhood the boon is
evident, and, as one lady remarked.
"The lamps all right. 1t gives no end
of light, and you gets yer water billing
fo' her ha'penny, and don't you forget
it." The children have also taken kind

chuckling with delight as the water

ton. when the tea and cocoon and the
cups are there we shall be good GUS

we're on night duty to get to one of

that the hot-water street lamp has ar

QUAINT OLD SANTIAGO
Tho Venerable City On Which All Eyes
Word So Long Fixed.

Wore So Long Fixed.
The bottling up of Cervera's feet In
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba is not
the only claim to distinction possessed
by that curious old city; for, as the In
habitants never fail to remind the
traveller, 1t has long been disputed
fact whether Columbus landed first at
San Salvador or Santiago de Cuba.
However that may be, St. Jago, as the
Spanish call it, is far older than any
city in North America.
The peculiar narrow streets and the
facades of the houses remind one OK
some Of the old towns in Italy; but
there the resemblance ceases, for the
houses of Santiago are nearly all built
around court, or patio, as they are IN
most Spanish towns. With their high
barred windows and glaring plastered
walls, on the outside they look more
like prisons than like the American
idea Of dwelling houses. But go inside
the patio and everything Is different.
There are palms ard shrubs and flow
ers, and in some OF the richer houses
even fountains. Meals are often served
In the patio In pleasant weather.
In Santiago as WILL as in other Gu
ban cities, the pro- rietors Of most OF
the shops and warehouses live in the
same building in " .iich their business
Is conducted. The shops open about
nine o'clock in the morning and re-
main open till about noon, when they
close up, and everybody goes to the
midday meal. After that everybody
takes a nap in the heat OF the day.
The shops open ur again about two
o'clock in the afternoon and remain
open till half-past five or six. Go to
an office in Santiago at half-past eight
in the morning and nobody will be up.
70 again at half-past twelve and every
body will be eating; 90 again at half
past one and everybody will be asleep.
In the evening the people sit around
and take life easy, and smoke, OF
course, for in Santiago everybody
smokes, men, women and children.
Even, the walters in the hotels and
cafes pull out a cigarette and smoke
between the courses. The porters and
cabmen smoke at all times and sea-
sons. The stevedores on the wharves
smoke at their work, and even the
clerks In the dry goods stores roll
cigarette and take a puff between two

On another occasion Captain Sigs-
bee deliberately sank his ship to save
her from a still worse fate. He was
in command of the coast survey steam
ar blake, and was anchored in West
Indian port, when hurricane came up,
and in the heavy cea the ships an
chors began to drag. She was drifting
to utter and inevitable destruction on
a reef. Where she lay there was a
soft. sandy bottom. The Captain or
dered her scuttled, and down she went.
Later she was pumped out and raised
an extensive operation, but far less
costly than building new ship.

be said to be wound by the solar sys-
tenn. In this invention the axiom of
heat expanding and cold contracting
Is the basis. The clock is wound by
changes in the temperature, the prin-
clpal force being in the day and night
d1fferenceS. Mr.. Burton found that
there is an average difference of 20 de-
grees in the temperature of the night
and the day. The day, of course, is
the warmer. The heat of the day ex-
pands the atmosphere and the lower
temperature Of the night contracts it.
This is how Mr.. Burton applied the
force to his clOck-an ordinary, old
style clock-using a weight: Outside
OF his house he has a tin tank, 10 feet
high and 9 inches in diameter. 1t IS
alright. From it tube runs into the
cellar. This tube leads to a cylindri-
cal reservoir. which receives the air
from the tank. In this reservoir there
is a piston, whose rod moves with
ratchet between the chain on which
the piston depends. The heat of the
sun expands the atmosphere in the ex-
terror tank, thus forcing any excess
into the reservoir, and the piston low
ers itself. The ratchet arrangement
winds the clock.
Mr.. Burton says he has no idea of
claiming perpetual motion for the in
vention. He says it is simply a scien-
tific novelty to demonstrate the power

Cream With Chocolate-It is an

to place cream in the cups and pour

Cream in Coffee-The connoisseur
in coffee claims that it is far more de-
icious when the cream and sugar are
first placed in the cup and the hot
liquid poured upon them. Cream
added to a cup of coffee, they say, IS
unf1avored-uncooked. It is little
matter, perhaps, but if there is a

readily discover the superior one.

GARTER COLLECTIONS
Have Taken the Place of Souvenir
Spoons.

The unseen, but useful, garter has
been seized upon as the pretext for
collection. Chicago girls are not now
content with two for week days and
an extra pair for Sunday, but gather
carriers in place of souvenir spoons or
pictures. Carriers all gemmed with
precious stones and quaint, old-fash-
Toned things that held in place the
silk hosiery of grandmamma are laid
side by side with the patriotic gar
ter made of red, white and blue RIB
bon and held together by an army
button of brass.
A little South Side woman was one
of the first to turn to this fad, and she
has one of the handsomest collections
in the city. Her treasures are not
shown to every conner. but her most
intimate friends have had glimpses OF
her souvenir garters. One who had
not yet learned that spoon collecting
was too old an amusement to interest
the end of the century young woman
was talking to her the other evening
and asked if she had made collec-
ton of spoons.
"Of course, I made a souvenir spoon
collection she said, but that is old
now, and I have turned my attention
to something better. I have very
unique collection of carriers
Carriers! Do you mean to say that
you have collection of them?"
why, yes-you know it is the fad
now in Chicago, and I think that I
have the most complete collection of
any woman. just wait a moment and
I'll bring them down"
When she returned she carried
large box and several smaller ones.
'You know. we all have to have
some fad" she said with a smile.
Some gather cravats, but like to
collect carriers best
The little woman unWrapped her
precious carriers and explained their
beauties. She has thirty-four pairs,
and one odd one for luck" She has
made them OF every material from
cotton to silk, and the clasps are Of
brass, silver or gold, and some are
studded with precious stones. A most
lovely pair of garters were made OF
pink silk ribbon, caught together with
a silver clasp made in a true lovers
knot, set with moonstones.
"This was sent to me from New
York" she said, land this silver fish
hook clasp on these yellow garters is
Boston variety"
The oldest pair in her collection
were given to her by Viennese lady
of aristocratic birth, in whose family
they had been for more than 100
years. The band has, of course, been
replaced many times, but the bronze
clasps show the wear they have nad,
brushing against silk and muslin un-
til they have acquired a brightness
almost like gold. The clasps are of
a shield shape, and bear the coat of
arms of noble Austrian family. A
pair of garters made of tri-colored
webbing and Glasped by an ingenious
device soldered to a United States
army button is one of the valued
treasures.

INACCURACIES IN THE BIBLE

At a recent meeting of Sunday
school teachers at Canterbury, Arch
bishop Temple said '.he had no doubt
there were inaccuracies in the Old
Testament narratives, though the
writer's told the truth, as far as they
were able to see the truth. /"
AS this statement was considered
to be an astounding" one, coming
from the primate of all England,
letter was forwarded to the arch
bishop by the editor of Kings Own,
an evangelical review, inquiring
whether or not he had actually made
it. To this the primate, by his chap
lain, replied as follows: Ellis grace

refer, and he thinks it; and for an in
