amounts ranging from $500 to $780,
900 having frequently been won and lost
at the clubs.
The Cuban spirit Of gambling was for
merly shown everywhere. even at the
baseball games where the boOkmakers
walked about laying odds against the
probability of the next batter reaching
first base. There is nothing of this sort
now and the professional duellist. such
as Augustin C~ervantes, who holds the
record of seven encounters in five days,
finds himself in a position where he must
either restrain his bloodthirsty propen-
stiles or else run his chances of being ar
rested n %perhangs hung as a common
murderer.
OF course. there are men who rebel at
the new condition of affairs. They have
lived so long under a rule in which
wealth and position was a sufficient ex-
cuse for any crime. that they object to
this new ironhanded method of restrict
ing their privileges as citizens. A short
time 6 a colonel in the Cuban army. a
man of some wealth and good, social
standing. was arrested for robbing an en-

however. refused to meet their demand
and calmly stated that as the man had
been caught in a grave crime. he should
be treated like any other criminal, and,
if found guilty, hung.
The excitement that this arrest caused
has not abated and the papers are filed
with editorial trades against the Amer
lean officers h could be SO blind as TO
overlook such "noble characteristics" in
a hero of such stupendous valor." "We
have sold ourselves" they say, "for a
handful of American gold and are miser-
able creatures. still slaves in u mis-
fortunes"
Fortunately, however, the sentiments
are not those of the mass of Cuban peo-
pie. Business men of standing n solid
citizens who desire to see the country re-
deemed from the wreckage into which it
has fallen, repudiate these outbursts of
Indignation from the band of elegant
%loafers, who would like nothing better
than to have Cuba given over to their

A LECTURE ON REMOVING STAINS.
HELEN GREY-PAGE.

1t is, perhaps, hardly necessary to say
that stains should be treated as speedily
as possible after their first appearance.
When once dry they are more difficult to
remove, requiring both time and perse-
verance. Paint should be instantly
wiped off, grease on wood, stone or carpet
should be CONCEALED before it has time to
penetrate, by throwing cold water over it.
Tea. coffee, ink, wine and fruit stains
will disappear in a quarter Of the time
if they can be attended to while wet. For
acids, tie up a bit of washing soda in the
stained part, make a lather of soap and
cold water, immense the linen and boil
until the spot disappears. Apple and pear,
peach and plum stain may be removed
by soaking in paratfin for a few hours.
For coffee and chocolate, pour soft
boiling water through the stains, and
while wet hold in the fumes of burning
sulphur. Fruit tains can be treated in
the same way if fresh, but If old, rub
them on both sides with yellow soap.
cover thickly with cold water starch, we'll
rubbed in, and expose to the sun and air
for three or -four days. Then rub off the
mixture n repeat the process, if neceS-
Sary.
Grass stains are removed by alcohol.
Ink requires milk for it's removal; the
spot should be soaked and gently rubbed
A fresh stain will disappear quickly;
but an old one nay need soaking in milk
for twelve hours.

usual time spent at the office is two hours
a day, between / and 3 in the afternoon.
In every respect the life of the Cuban
gentleman is one of ease. He never
rises before 10 o'clock, and, after the ar
duous task of breakfasting, he spends
two or three hours in resting. When he
returns from the office at ; O'Clock he
retires again. This siesta is followed by
dinner, after which he attends the opera
or a dance or spends the evening at his
club. Formerly much time was devoted
to gambling, but since the American OIL
Gals have been in control of affairs they
nave interfered quite seriously with this
form of amusement. Duelling has also
been discouraged and the authorities
have taken such a firm stand in regard to
these matters that their orders have been

In spite of all this vigilance the Cuban
maiden finds time for secret love maxi

veniently drops asleep in her corner or.

behind her back. However, that may be,
the courtship is carried on n when the
two young people have come to an UNDER
standing life changes for them. After
that it is not considered proper for the
maid and the man who are engaged to
dance or even enter a public dining hall
with anyon but each other. About this
time the father of the young man makes
a formal request for the hand of the
girl, and if the arrangement is satisfac-
tory to both families. the society days OF
the maiden are ended for the present.
Engagements in Cuba are not of short

mercy. The better class has been QUICK
to realize that what the American officers
have done has been the very best thing
that could have been done, and they are
aiding them in every possible way. There
is liable to be some trouble before long,
however, for the lawless element is very
strong and all it needs is a leader to
bring about a riot. The military force
on the island is strong enough to meet
any such uprising and an action of this
nature would probably result in the
speedy determination of the anti-law-
and-order men, a condition of affairs
that might be Of considerable benefit to
the cause of reconstruction.

a Non-Partisan Prayer.

The following interesting Renaissance
of the anti-Aasonic days back in the 30 8
was found among the papers of Rev. j.
NJ. Cochrane, of Alhambra, III. says the
Chicago Record The excitement referred
to grew out of The mysterious disappear
ance of William Morgan, after making his
alleged expose at Batavia, N. y: mot
only did this excitement affect political
parties, but it seriously disturbed and dis
rupled Christian churches as well. At
one time the Masons had an appointment
for public meeting in the town OF NIL
ford, n. H., and sent an invitation to
Rev. DR.. Moore, pastor of the Presbyter-
ian Church, 10 attend and TO officiate as
chaplain. Now, it so happened that this
church was nearly equally divided on the
Masonic question, one party being of out
Spoken Masons and the other of strong
anti Masons. While the pastor himself had
always been conservative and non-commit-
tai on the subject, still on due reflection
he decided to accept the invitation and
notified their committee to that effect. 1t
was soon noised about that the preacher
was going to attend the Masons' meeting
and officiate as its chaplain. This caused
the anti-Masons to become very indignant,
while the Masons themselves were iubi-
liant The pastor, however, kept cool and
said nothing. He was remarkable man,
of Scotch-Irish ancestry, noted for his
quaint expression and defective speech.
The time of the meeting came. The
minister and the most of his church and
congregation were present. 1t was a large
and deeply interesting assembly. In due
time the presiding officer called the meet
ing 10 order and request ed the chaplain to
open the service by prayer. This was the
prayer:
80 Lord, we pray we know not for
what If it be good, bleth it; if not, cuth
il. Amen
1T scarcely need be said that no member
of his church ever found fault with that
prayer, or claimed the pastor as belonging
to his political party"

ESTATES OF MTLIIoNAIREs.

1t is very seldom that the estate of a
millionaire turns out to be as large as his
fortune was estimated to be before his
death. AS a rule the fortunes of very rich
men are much smaller than they are
thought to be. The inventories of estates
show this to be true.
A few weeks before Mr.. Roswell p.
Flowers death 1t was stated In the public
prints that his fortune could hardly be
less than $20OOO,OOO The inventory of his
estate was filed a day or two ago and
it showed that he died possessed of prop
erty worth only a little more than $780,
O00
This inventory naturally causes a great
deal of surprise among those who were
intimately acquainted with Mr.. Flower.
and they are offering reasons why the in
ventory showed so small an estate. One
reason is that he must have given to his
family large part of his wealth before
his death, in order to avoid the inheritance
tax. 1t will be recalled that the estate of
the late Calvin Brice turned out to be very
small, although he lived at the rate of a
man worth millions, and it was very gem
orally believed that he was worth four or
five millions of dollars. In his case the
same explanation was given for the small
estate as has been given the case of Mr..
Flower. Nobody knows, however, that
either Mr.. Brice or Mr.. Flower gave away
the greater part Of their estates The
probability is decidedly against MIR. Flow
er's having disposed of his estate during
his lifetime. If he had wanted to avoid
the inheritance tax he would not have left
so large a sum as $1,000 900 TO be assessed
for that tax.
There Is some speculation as TO whether
Mr.. Vanderbilt divided his estate among
his wife and children before his death in
order to avoid the inheritance tax. If his
estate is anywhere near as large as It is
estimated to be, It will take several mill
ions of dollars to pay the inheritance tax.
1t will probably turn out that his estate
is not as large as it has been estimated
to be, and also that he did not divide it
among his wife and children.
A feature of the Flower inventory is
that it does not show that he died pos
sessed of any considerable amount of the
stoCks winch were understood TO be his
specially, and which he was supposed to
be supporting In the market. There were
two stocks in which it was said he
was interested to the extent of millions
Of dollars. People bought them because
he recommended them. His estate shows
that he was only slightly interested in
them. The inference is that he had not
sufficient confidence in them to invest
heavily in them.

The President TELLS a story.

A delega ton of Grand Army men from
Hamilton, o.. on their way home from the
recent encampment at Philadelphia, called
at the White House to pay their respects
to President Mckinley a few days ago.

New York Sun. As each was introduced
in turn the President greeted him cor
daily with a handshake. AS soon as they
were through, the delegation made a move
to leave the room, but the President stop

There was a big crowd at the reception.
and among others I remember meeting the
