of a home and home series was played on

was lively for a time, with the Newark

A rather new idea was started for
bridesmaids at a fashionable wedding
which took place recently in London
Instead of carrying the ordinary bou-
ouet. each bridesmaid had a violet vel
vet muff. with 4 large bunch of natural
violets, with their tender green leaves
and trails of buds, fastened on the top
of the muff. This had a very charming
and novel effect and might be carried
out in many different ways. Pale pink

would look lovely.

The Afachctc.

AS a defensive weapon the value OF
the machete is small. Even its offensive
effect depends less on the weapon itself
than ON the continual and skillful
usage made of it by the Cuban peasant
from Lis earlier age, which imparts n
peculiar training to the muscles of the
wrist and arm of the operator. The
consequence of this skill is that when
ever a quarrel occurs between two
''guajirOs" or "monetros'' they settle
the matter with their machetes as cour-
ageously and tenaciously as two game
cocks, and generally both parties are
seriously injured for life or are killed
on the spot
Owing to this fact and to the natu-
raj kindly disposition of the Cuban
peasants. they are not n quarrelsome
people and respect everybody, to be
equally respected. With the machete a
few curious accessories are used. The
principal are a thin strip of leather
closely tied TO the right wrist, a small
round piece of grinding stone to sharpen
the edge of the tool. and whenever the
machete is employed to cut down the
thorny heath of tropical vegetation a
small branch of special shape. called
the ''garabato, is used TO hold the
heath and do rapid work without be-
ing injured by thcrns Island of Cuba

STORY THE CAPTAIN TOLD.
How Dewey Said the Word with the Bark
on to Germany.

! Captain Coghlan at the dinner given
| him Friday night at the Union League
! club. to illustrate the character of Ad-
riral Dewey told the following story
of the visit OF an officer sent by the
German admiral: Our friend Admiral
DieGerich's officer" said Captain Cogh-
Ian, came down one day to make a
complaint. 1t was my pleasure to step
out on the quarterback just as he came
aboard. 1t was partly by accident and
partly by design. 1 heard him tell the
admiral about his complaint, and 1
heard the admiral reply:
- Tell your admiral those ships of his
must stop when l say so. / wish to
make the blockade of this harbor com
plete.' The German officer replied: But
we fly the German flag.
The reply of the admiral was just
like Dewey. He said: Those flags can
be bought at half a dollar a yard any
where
There was no fun in that expression
of the admiral. He told the officer that
anybody could fly a German flag. and
that whole Spanish fleet might come
upon him with German flags up. Then
he drew back and stroked his mustache.
He has a habit OF stroking his mustache
when he gets angry.
90 Tell your admiral I'm blockading
here. Now note carefully what ] say
and tell your admiral that / say it. 1
have been making this blockade as easy
for everybody as 1 could, but I'm get
ting tired Of the peurile work here. II has

wouldn't notice it, although children
might fight il over; but the time has
come when 1t must stop. Now listen
closely and tell the admiral / say it.

The SUMS Motion.

An astronomical fact now as former
ly causing no little perplexity to some
is that the suns motion-which IN
questionably and indisputably is ex-
tIeSlai,. quick-does not change the
relative position of the solar system TO
the fixed stars and the consultations
more than it actually does, and there
are some who on this account are in
clined to doubt the actual motion of
the sun in space.
The investigations of astronomers
have nevertheless established one thing
as certain-namely. that the sun moves
through space at n great speed-esti-
mated by some scientists at 16 miles n
second-carrying all the planets. satel-
lites and other cosmical bodies along
with it. but this motion of the vast
luminary. while affecting. of course.
the real motion of the planets in space,
does not in even the slightest degree
affect the relative motion of sun and
planets
Even under the supposition of so
great a rate as IS miles in one second,
this relative position of the sun TO tho
fixed stars would, astronomers declare,
be hardly perceptible in century, on
account of the almost inconceivable
distance Of the latter-the conclusion
being. therefore, that many thousands of
years must pass before the suns proper
motion in space can change the confg
uration Of the star groups.

for an explanation of his remarkable
after dinner speech in New York Fri
day night. The German ambassador
has not complained OF the speech and ii
will not become a diplomatic incident,
because the administration will antici-
pate all that by diciplining the gallant
captain if the facts are as has been
