"A CUBAN C0TlLLl0N"
Was Danced by the Jefferson Club and Their
 Fair Friends Last Night.

It was a pretty german that was danced at the Florence hotel last night by the Jef- ferson club and their fair guests. The mazy figures of the cotillion were very grace fully led by J. Walton Prescott, the secre- tary of the club, assisted at times by each of the young ladies present.
 When Mr. Prescott announced the first figure, he fairly took the dancers breath away. It was "Taking of Havana" This figure was led by placing all the young gen. Hemen in the corner In a bunch to repre- sent the Spaniards in Moro Castle The graceful battleships which were represented by the young ladies bombarded the fort with rubber balls. Each Spaniard fell the prey of the young lady with whose ball he was hit, and she was forced to dance with him.,
 The "Cissy Cisneros" figure was also a very pleasing one. Each young lady, all or whom took the part of "Cissy," was in turn surrounded by ring of Spaniards, from which thers>Was no escape. But from the ring she chose her protector, who was the Karl Decker" of the occasion.
 Another figure was Running the Block ade." The Spanish cruisers, the young gentlemen, joined hands and held them above their heads and under them, the American ships, young ladies, were compeil- ed to pass. But alack and alas each of them was finally captured by the better arma- ment of the Spanish ironclads
 These and many other novel figures were led by MT. Prescott. On one only did he

The following letter was received last night from the mother of MT. Lilly, which gives his side of the case:
 Birmingham, April N. To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 Dear Sir-Will you be so kind as to cor rect the statement publisher in your last issue in regard to the accident that happen ed to my son, B. J. Lilly, last night, at the Union depot as the soldiers were passing through the city. He was not drunk, as can be proven by friends who were with him few moments previous to the acci- dent. He did not "dive" off, as stated, but fell. He was crowded off. His wounds will prove that he did not jump off. He is a young man of steady, sober habits, as can also be proved. As the statement in your paper is very detrimental to his reputation, l hope you will be kind enough to correct it. Your paper is widely circulated among his many friends. By so doing you will greatly oblige his MOTHER.

DUCK FARMS
About 10000 Pounds OF Feathers
Are Collected Annually

1
All accounts have read about elder
ducks, says traveller, in Good Words,
say that nests are robbed of their down
twice. the duck supplying it each time
from her own body; the third
time the drake gives his white
down. and this is allowed to
remain. But was told by farmers in
Iceland that now they never take the
down until the little ones are Matched.
1t has been found that the birds thrive
! better and increase faster when they
are allowed to live as nature meant
them to do. So now the poor mothers
are no longer obliged to strip them
selves of all their down to refurnish
their despoiled nests. Sometimes If
the quantity is very great little NAV
be taken, but enough must be left to
cover the eggs when the duck leaves
her nest for food
"A writer upon Iceland, in speakins
of visit to one of the Isafiord farms.
wrote: ION the coast was a wall built
OF large stones. just above high-water
ieVel, about three feet high and of con-
siderable thickness at the bottom. On
both sides of it alternate stones had
been left out SO as to form series of
square compartments for the ducks to
make their nests in. Almost every
compartment was occupied. and as we
walked along the shore line of ducks
hew out. one after another. The
; house was marvel; the earthen walls
that surround it and the window en-
nj
the ground the house was fringed with
ducks. On the turf slopes OF the root
we could see ducks, and ducks sat on
the scraper.'
About 10000 pounds of eiderdown
are gathered annually in Iceland, 7,OOC
being exported to foreign countries
Formerly the peasants used to receive
over Il shlllings pound, but the price
mas now fallen to half that amount
The peasants seldom receive money
and are obliged to barter their down for
merchandise furnished by the Danish
merchants at the little settlements al
the fjords. A pound and a half OF
down is enough to fill an ordinary bed.
puff. These very comfortable articles
are found in the guest room Of every
Iceland farm, however poor and small
it may be. After a long hard day IN
the saddle the traveller longs for
warmth and shelter. These little guest
rooms have never had a fire in them
and built. as they are, on the ground
there is dreadful chill in them. Once
tucked away in bed, however. and well
covered with the downpuff, a delight
full sense Of comfort follows, and tired
bones lose their pains and stiffness.

duces severe palpitation, which never
lasts more than ten minutes. A slight
dizziness will occasionally follow.

each case it has caused me to stumble
and fall. would urge my fellow ath-
ietes to notice carefully this vital or
gan.
With the proper instrument the &C
ton of the heart can be heard very dis
tlnctly. 1t looks like small telephone
receiver, and is placed over the heart.
To this are fastened two connections
similar to those of a photograph. Up
on placing these in each ear the heart
beats are plainly heard, and the sound
greatly resembles that of a small sue
ton pump. One can hear a "chik-a-
pung,' "chik-a-pung" every time the
blood passes through the valves.
Invariably am asked, What do you
think about during a racer" OF out

opponents and if possible try to catch
a glimpse of their features to see how
they are holding out. I study my own
condition and know how much l can
stand at the finish.
Now we come to the last quarter.
The pace has been hot and I am tired
The applause Of the crowd seems like
faraway murmur, and I can hardly
hear my coacher on the side lines The
home stretch is reached and it needs
one more effort. Here is the crucial
test of strength and nerve. The faint
hearted racer stops here and will not
punish himself. Punishment it GER
tainly is, and the face is an excellent
! mirror. The agony shown there is Of
ten startling, and in great measure
portrays the strain undergone.
The heart pounds like sledgeham-
mer, heavy mist grows before the
eyes, the ears buzz and ring like a saw
mill, the lungs are overtaxed and
breathing is hard indeed, a knife seems
to be in ones stomach, and you can
hardly stsgger along. At last the tame
| is reached and the will power relaxes
the principal desire being to grab at
anybody or anything for support and

She Tnmes wild Horses.

Miss Vaughan-Le wis is the hyphena-
ted name of the woman who can boast
that she is the first of her sex to adopt
the profession CT horse breaking.
She is the daughter of a Welsh cler-
syman. At sixteen she had a reputa-
ton among his parishioners for her
power over vicious and unmanagea bic
animals. Then her father died and she
was Obliged to earn her own living.
She went to Canada and soon had a
nu:nber Of clients, who kept her busy
breaking their half-wild horses for
them.
Now she has a farm near San Fran
cisco. She can board twelve horses at a
time. Three men servants and two
women form her rstinue. She breaks
al. the horses herself. BY o'clock
every morning she is in the stables.
She tames the most vicious brute and
entirely without whip or spur. Her
wr:stsare very strong, her patience in
exhaustible and heT will indomitable.
These three qualifications, she says,
are all that are needed to make a Wo-
man success as horse breaker.
