fence that has been built by many
hands. Men, women ana children
nre responsible for lis construction.
Everybody who had an Idle hour was
pressed into service. They toiled un-
censingly under the direction of Mise
Mary Mcdowell, the head resident of
the settlement. Yesterday the fence
was completed.
All the settlement clubs either fur
nIshed money or labor, and the work
from the outset has been Il labor OF
love. One man devoted whole
weeks work, while others put in an
hour or two as they happened to have
the time to spare. After the grounds
were inclosed dozens of men worked
on the interior arrangements. Posts
We're set here for swing. there for IL

placed In one corner for the wee ones.
A friend OF the settlement and the

n complete outdoor gymnasium appa-
ratus. A pretty shelter is the gift of
woman who desires the mothers and
babies to have cool place to sit while
watching the children build caves AMI
forts in the sand pile. The grounds
are intended to arouse public sent
ment to the necessity of public play
grounds in all districts tennnted by
poor people. A kindergarten will lie
conducted in the shelter and the chill

exercises by Charles Allen.
The program for the opening this
afternoon will consist of II childreL's
chorus and recitations, and conclude
with an old-fashioned May pole dance,
participated in by twenty-four little

mestic snake, the giboya, which has

sold in the market place in Rio Janeirc
to be kept in the house as protection

the serpent pursues its prey more for
the pleasure there is in it than from n
sense of hunger, since it is said it rare

Several hours after the woman had
taken possession of her apartment her
neighbors and the hotel servants were
startled by sounds of crashing glass and
plates emanating from her rooms. At
the same time the woman. shouting at

her husband and bewailed her own fate.
The rooms of the alleged Madame de

VOLUNTEERS OF HAVANA.
How They Were Won with rooks.

How They Were Won with Pocket
Handkerchief Promise.
In 1868. when the revolution of ten
years In Cuba began, no volunteers
existed in Havana worthy of being
called such. There was only one old
regiment, and when Gov.-Gen. Lersun-
di. then of the island. tried to complete
this regiment he found the task dill
cult OF accomplishment on account OF
the prevailing unwillingness to enlist.
But Just at this time. most providen-
TALLY for the relief Of his dilemma,
some unknown hands covered the walls
of MatanZas, near Havana. with huge
posters promising each Spaniard his
passage home and the privilege OF
carrying away with him whatever his
pocket handkerchief could contain In
the event of his enlistment. The effect
of this stimulus to the tagging pulse
of the public was electrical, and the en-
rollment of $4,000 men followed within
forty-eight hours. The volunteers thus
came into existence with their chiefs in
the majority. But the ruined merchants
of the city of Havana soon found cut
and objected to the newly risen power.
This opposition increased upon the ar
rival in Cuba of the new governor-gen-
eral. Dulce. who came in 1868 as repre-
sentative of the revolutionary govern
ment Of Spain. He was man of good
faith. empowered by the government TO
grant Cuba all the reform she coveted
and that has lately been offered. He
would undoubtedly have put termin-
us to the revolution averting all the
ruin and devastation which followed.
But such an easy and magnanimous
course did not suit that class which
faced inevitable financial ruin as a con-
sequence of such policy.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

A Doctor Says They Have Disease That

A Doctor Says They Have Disease That
Cnn he Cured.
A French doctor declares that indo-
lence is n weakness Of dyspeptics and
neuropaths, which is amcnable to sci
entific treatment. He divides indolcnt
persons into various classes and pro-
poses to treat each case according 10
its special symptoms. He looks upon
the Indifferent indolent as hopeless.
but believes that the remorseful indO-
lent. especially the Internationally in
dolent. are more or less open to cure.
The first thing n physician should try
to do is to change the sudden fits of
industry, which exhaust the brain Gu
crgy and give only partial results, into
regular steady work. The doctor
should impress the patient with Il
fixed, guiding idea, and then form Il
habit. or. in other words, substitute
an automatic act, which is easy. for n
voluntary act, which is difficult. To
be really effective this habit must he
emphasized until It borders on Il ma
mia, and one of the most Important
details is that the time for work is in
the morning, directly after rising,
when the brain is clearcst. The great
est care must be taken not to overtire
an indolent but willing patient. One
hours work n day is quite enough 20
begin with. The time should be grad
ually Increased. but never to such an
extent as to produce exhaustion. \
short walk, or a meal, or II rest may
break the spells of work, and the rul-
ing idea should be to have clear
knowledge of the aim in view, and TO
limit the time for work. for peorle
usually work best when the time for
cXertion has fixed limits.

them back to the division hospitals.
The hospitals proper are near enough
to the base of action so that they may
be transported in army wagons and
equipped with full outfit of medical
and surgical supplies, comfortable cot
beds, and other conveniences which are
necessarily lacking in the field. Here
the wounded are supposed to rest un-
