Her BorroMed PInmaee.

A Syracuse woman was in Boston
some time ago, and she had occasion to
get check cashed, being without ready
money. She had no friend who was
easily available, but she went to a bank
and presented her check. OF course she
was told she would have to be identi-
fed. The cashier OF the bank suggested
that she might have one of her cards.
She took out her cardcase, but the card
she produced proved to be that of one Of
her friends. This caused her a great
deal of confusion, but the accommodate
ing cashier suggested that she might
prove her identity by the initials on her
cardcase. But these, alas, proved to be
those Of her mother. Her confusion con-
tinued to increase until she thought Of
the initials on her handkerchief. The
marked article was produced to be put
in evidence, but when it was examined
it was found to bear the initials of an
other friend. She was thwarted in every
direction, but the cashier was "easy. !"
Boston cashiers are apparently not as
strict as those in this part of the coun-
try, for this particular one said he

Chinese Shave Frequently With Wet

Considering that the inhabitants of
the middle kingdom use the razor more
than any other nation in the world, it
is passing strange that they never dis

ince Of Kwantung sent for man to
shear his locks, and he began nibbling
away at his scalp without troubling
about such a trifing as a comb. At the
third snip the man stopped him and
asked him If he had ever cut a foreign
er's hair before. Oh, yes. When was
that? Oh, last year, when he cut the
hair of German customs officer who
had died.
But IN the matter of shaving there
are few more deft-considering the
latherless way he does it and the fact
that he uses a little three cornered soft
iron knife as a razor-than the Chinese
figaro. Was not the chief of all his

for dexterously cleaving mosquito that
had settled on the imperial nose? One
advantage gained by patronizing the
Chinese barber-in the case of Euro

you before you wash and dress. But the
native also generally waits to be rasee

The POET AND THE CHILDREN.

With a glory OF winter sunshine
Over his locks Of gray,
In the old historic mansion
He sat on his last birtL-ay.
With his books and his pleasant pictures
And his household and his kin,
While a sound as of myriads singing
From far and near stole in.
1t came from his own fair city,
From the prairie's bOundless plain,
From the Golden Gate Of sunset
And the cedarn woods Of Maine.
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his moistening eyes grew dim,
FOr he knew that his country's children
We're singing the songs Of him.
The lays Of his life's glad morning,
The psalms Of his evening time,
Whose echoes shall feat forever
On the winds OF every cline.
All their beautiful consultations,
Sent forth like birds Of cheer,
Came fOcliing back to his windows
And sang in the poets ear.
Grateful, but solemn and tender,
The music rose and fell,
With Joy akin to sadness
And a greeting like farewell.
With a sense of awe he listened
To the voices sweet and young.
The Last of earth and the first Of heaven
Seemed in the songs they sung.
And waiting little longer
For the wonderful change TO come,
He heard the SUNNI oning angel
Who calls Gods children homel
And to him in holier welcome
Was the mystical meaning given
OF the words Of the blessed Master,
"Of such is the kingdom of heaven"

Rap,d.prop and slow.prop stamps.

In connection with some recent dis
cussion regarding the respective mer@
its of slow drop and rapid drop stamp
mills in California and Colorado, 1t is
interesting to note that in the latter
state the rapid drop stamps are super
seding the slow-drop method. In the
Black Hawk district Colorado, where
fifteen month ago there were but 70
rapid drop stamps out of total or
14S, there are now $50 rapid drop, ana
in such concerns as the New York mill
the 75 slow drop stamps are now be-
ing altered to rapid drop, thus douD-
ling the capacity. The slow drop
stamp of Gilpin county weighs about
525 pounds and drops 10 inches in a
low mortar with deep issue, 30 to 40
to the minute. With this mill the
plates used are 415xS feet. In Califor-
mia the weight of the already heavy
rapid drop stamp has been increased
to 1 200 and even 400 pounds, drop
ping 90 to the minute. What Is local
ly known as ''the Colorado method Is
giving way to existing conditions and
requirements, which call for quicker
work and closer saving. Advocates OF
the old style slow drop, however, still
maintain that Colorado ore gives bet
| ter results with slower motion; that
the material must have time to settle,
or it will either scour off the plates or
not come in contact. The obvious an
swer is that by giving the plates the
proper inclination the tendency 70
scour is largely overcome.
The difference between the Callfor'
MIA and Colorado ores must be recog
nized. California gold ore is, general
ly, harder than that of Colorado, the
gold is coarser, and as rule the orr
bodies are larger. In California orr
there is, usually, n much smaller pro
portion of sulphurets than are in Colo
RADIO ore. Financial results, which ar

Plans are Being Csu-

Washington, May 23.--When Admi-
raj Cerveras fleet is overhauled and
engaged by either Sampson or Schley,
it Is expected to practically end the
war. For this reason, no undue haste
is being made. Both American fleets
are after the Spaniards, and are ex-
pected to annihilate the opposing fleet
when an engagement occurs.
The question of locating and engag-
ing fleet on the open sea which is
trying to evade an engagement is not
an easy task. 1t may take some time
to accomplish this result, but it will
be thoroughly done. 1t is not the in
tention to merely cripple the fleet and
allow part of it to run away. Orders

be taken merely to bring about an
early engagement in response to a
popular feeling that an early engage
ment Is desirable Such battle will
Immediately be followed by the most

in Cuba. Defenses will be bombarded
and the entire available force of the
army will be poured into that coun try

With the destruction of the fleet it
is supposed Spanish revolution will
occur which will end the war as far

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IN CUBA.
Yellow Fever and Malaria Confined to tho
Coast.


New York, May GA meeting of
Cuban physicians was held at the Red
Cross hospital today to discuss the eff
feet of climate diseases in Cuba. DR..
Munoz, recently chief of the civil hos
pital in Havana, was made chairman,
and DR.. Sollosa, until recently surgeon
The points determined We're that men
from the United States suffer more
disease in Cuba than men from sout n
ern countries. OF the Spanish soldiers
who have gone to Cuba, rs per cent.
have suffered from malaria and 25 per
cent. from yellow fever. Deaths have
occurred in about 25 per cent. of the
cases. The seriousness of the disease
in Cuba has depended on the seasons
and location. Malaria has prevailed
during the entire year, and yellow fe-
yer only during the months of August,
September, October and November.
Yellow fever prevails mostly on the
coast and in the cities. At distance
of eight 20 ten miles from the coast
and in the mountains the island is
healthy during the entire year.
The physicians came to the conclu-
sion, from their observations, that dis
eases do not spread as rapidly, nor are
they as severe, as on the southern L
coast of Florida.
