SOLD ARMS TO SPAIN.
The Unpleasant Predicnment Into
which an Exporting House
Got Itself.

"There are lots of queer inside stories
connected with the war" said a visitor
in the lobby of hotel, "but think | can
tell the very oldest of the lot. ! don't
care TO call any names, but the facts are
these: Late last summer a certain
manufacturing company, one of the
biggest in its line in the world, received
quite large order from the Spanish
government for supplies to be sent 10
Cuba. There was nothing remarkable
in this, because Spain was at that time
a liberal customer in the American mar
ket, but it already owed pretty good
stiff bill to the house in question, and
there was some doubt about filling the
last reGu.s ion. However, the stuff
was finally sent on promise of 9o-day
settlement in full. That was in Septem-
Der. 1897" relates the New Orleans
Zines Democrat.
"When the 90 days elapsed a small
payment was made and the balance
promised directly after New Years.
Some time in January there was anoth-
or payment and another big promise.
On February Is, as you may happen to
recall, the Maine was blown to smith
Greens in Havana harbor, and in the
swift succession Of events that fol-
lowed the bill was simply ignored by
the Spanish authorities. That, very
briefly, is the commercial history Of
the case and the house now finds itself
in peculiar predicament.
aIt is possible that it might get its
money by an appeal to the president,
but as most of the stuff furnished to the
3ous was used as munitions of war
against our own troops it is reluctant
70 make the claim for fear of exciting
popular prejudice. The amount. in
Waived runs away up into the thou
sands. but they figure that ii would be
more than Offset by loss of home trade.
So they have concluded to keep their
mouths shut and charge il to profit and
loss"

THE SIESTA IN THE SOUTH.
Prevalent stilI, But Rapidly Yielding
TO the Spread of the spirit
of Unrest.

Southern women who come to New
York are always a little shocked and
surprised that the afternoon nap does
flourish, winter and summer, in most
of the region south of Mls.n and Dix
on's line. Its special home is the south
ern country house and village, but the
custom prevails even in considerable
cities. A southern village between two
o'clock and four in winter is sunk in
a general swoon. Even the clerks in the
village stores find a snug corner where,
tilted back in an easy-Chair, they may
doze away the intervals between Gus

tiers and drawn curtains. and some

en- do2e away the fatigues of the morn
ing. Late afternoon finds faint signs
of returning consciousness in the viii
lage streets, and of stir in the silent
houses. If the season be summer the
younger women appear upon their
porches in fresh gowns, wide-awake
after the luxury of the siesta and the
better part of an hour given to the
toilet. If the season be winter the la
dies appear in street costume and sally
forth to walk and to pay calls In some
southern cities there is an actual sus-
pension of business for several of the
afternoon hours.
But the restless habits of New York
and New England are spreading south

have made such havoc of late years with
the leisure of the American woman,
have reached the southern cities and
villages. and rudely broken in upon
the afternoon nap. Women brought up
to the luxury of the nap now give over
their afternoons to ransacking the en-
cyclopaedia for information upon
Dutch art, Russian social customs,

lies, or listening to what their sister
