HUNTING IN CUBA.
HE ISLAND IS AN IDEAL PLACE FOR THE SPORTSMAN.

Ait Sorts of Game in Abundance-Over
 six Hundred Distinct Species of Fish
 in the Waters-Eight to Ten Deer in a
 Day Common Bag For a Small Party.
 Cuba is paradise for the sportsman,
 wild game and fish of all kinds being
 Abundant.
 Parties of gentlemen on horseback,
 Nith their pack of hounds, hunt the
 Heet-footed deer. It is a common thing
 for q small party to kill eight or ten
 deer in a day.
 The wild boar is plentiful, and some I les, if eornered, dangerous, especial !IF the sold master of the herd, called Kun solitario," which will tear dog
 p piece CT make 2 green hunter climb a tree, but Cuban easily kills him Kth a machete. The island boar some Hkimes weighs 200 or 300 pounds, and haI huge tusks, often five or six inches dn length. The meat of the female is Bmuch reIished by the natives. Wild sdogs and cats, wild cattle, horses and H5ackasses abound. But the jutia, pecu- 8liar only to Cuba, which looks like Scross between 6 squirrel with rats tail Eand rabbit, and which lives in the #trees and feeds on nuts and leaves, is |the great delight of the Cuban. Fowls are in great numbers. Wild .guinea hens and turkeys are found in foeks of from twenty-five to 100. The whistle of the quail and the futter of the pheasant and perdfz are heard on all sides in the rural and mountain regions. Ducks in abundance come over from Florida in the winter and return with the spring. Wild pigeons, with their white tops and bodies of blue, larger somewhat than the domes- tic bird, offer, in hunting, the greatest sport to gentlemen who will be re- strained within reason. In the early mornings the pigeons generally go to feed on the mangle berries when ripe, and which grow by the sea or near some swampy place. A party of three persons have been known to kill 1,500 of the pigeons within a few hours. Robiches, toiosas and guyuaros are found in the thick woods.
 Rocking and blue birds, orioles, tur- pials, negritos, parrots and thousand kinds of songsters and birds of bril- liant plumage fit from tree to tree.
 There are 641 distinct species of fish in the Cuban waters. Among those that delight the sportsman are the red snapper, Hsta, manta, gallego, cubera, surela and garfsh. The sierra, which weighs from forty to sixty pounds, is extremely game. as is the romeo, so called because it snores when brought put of the water. For heavy sport. fishing for sharks, which are good for nothing, or the gusa, which weighs from 400 to 600 pounds and is excel- ent eating, offers abundant exercise.
 Delicious shrimps. crabs and lob- iters, clans and oysters abound. The obsters have no claws and weigh from .wo to eight pounds. They are caught It night in shallow places along the andy beach, torch, harpoon and net ,eing the necessary outfit. Some of he rivers abound in alligators, but few lunt them.

Among the watches owned by Mary Stuart was coffin-shaped watch in case of crystal Probably the most remarkable one in her collection was the one which was bequeathed to Mary seaton, her maid of honor. It was in the form of a skull On the forehead of the skull was the symbol or death, the seythe and the hour-glass. At the back of the skull was Time. and at the top of the head was the garden of Eden and the crucifxion. The watch was opened by reversing the skull. h. side was a representation of the holy family. surrounded by angels, while the sbepherds and their floeks were wor- shiping the newborn Christ. The works formed the brains, while the dial plate was the palate. She also possessed another skull-shaped watch, but 1t Is not known what became of it.

AS TO THE EYEBROWS
THEY ARE MORE GENERALLY ME-
 ELECTED THAN CARED FOR.

This Win Toll You How to Cultivate
 Them and Make Them Thing of
 Beauty-Easy Enough if These Rules
 Are Foilowed-Never Pull Them Out.
 Poets and artists may continue to ex- tol the expressive beauty of tho deli- eately penciled eyebrow, but the aver age woman pays but little attention to it, and beyond an occasional smoothing with her finger leaves uncared for one of the incest and most particular DOT tions of her facial toilet. Like all other points of beauty, this little pen stroke of nature varies greatly with the individual, but as usual thing one is endowed with just about the right brow to harmonize with the features, and little judicious care is all that is necessary to enhance this touch, which goes solar to make to mar the entire facial expression. When, however the formation of the eyebrow is decidedly at fault, we have recourse to artifice to help out the deficiency or obliterate its homeliness. The eyebrow should ex- tend slightly beyond the orifiee of the eye at either end, should terminate in mere line toward the temple and be slightly broader toward the nose Upon the breadth, the arch and the shade de- pend much. Delicate features should not be preponderated by broad brows, while those which are large and strong in character need the bolder brush to aceentuate their foree The brow is al- ways to be carefully smooth, glossy and orderly. At a recent visit to der- matologist a society woman was great ly amused when the so-ealled artist, after carefully treating her skin for real and imaginary blemishes, appar- entity scrutinizing every part with a microscope, completed his work in a nasty brush over the much-disturbed eyebrows with a camels hair brush and stepped back to announce his work of beautifying was complete. Now" she said with smile, "Ill show you something. Look at me well and then notice the difference" Selecting a stiff little brush from among his numerous paraphernalia, she brushed the hair of both eyebrows straight up toward the forehead, then carefully brushed them down from above This left an ex- tremely delicate shading, every hair clearly defined and distinctly separate, and clear, dark line along the center. She shaped the inner line toward tha nose with cautious touch of the brush, then turned to the manipulatof for his opinion, and he was magnani- nous enough to admit that when the brow was in a healthy condition he had never taken much pains about its dressing.
 Never pull the hair out, even if 1t grows too close over the brows; careful brushing will in time shape it nicely. and to certain features close brows are Q decided necessity. If you will take the time some day to comb you brows in various shadings you will soon dis cover which style whether high or low arch, rather flat or fine and delicate style-is most becoming, and, once learned. adhere strictly to it. The hair will of it's own accord finally shape it. self in that direction.

Widows Caps.
boots it?

The origin of the custom of widows wearing caps is extremely ancient. It may be traced back to the Egyptian and Grecian practice of shaving off the hair in periods of mourning. But as without hair there was a danger of catching cold. the men wore wigs up- on their bald crowns and the women caps.
