The dispatches say that General Leonard Wood came north to protest against the di- version of customs from the local govern- ment of Santiago to the general govern ment of the Island of Cuba, but those who are Fin the know in Washington declare that the general left Santiago for a far less official reason. Having an opportunity to enjoy his annual vacation he decided to come north for the express purpose of do- ing an act of kindness for the chief to whom he is greatly indebted for many kind nesses, out of office.
 For long time the general-doctor has been Mrs McElinley's physician, and in the present feeble health of the presidents wife it was decided to ask the man who combined the qualities of fighting with those of practicing physician to try his Iem- edies again upon her.
 The friends of Mrs. Mckinley say that whereas under the care of Dr. Wood she has enjoyed better health the last two years than during the previous twenty, she has steadily dechned since he went to Cu- ba; and the president, knowing the extreme delicacy of his wifes constitution, sent for him in some alarm.
 The career of the man who can thus easl- ly turn his hand to two of the greatest pro- fessions in the world is as singular as his accomplishments. HIS InOllleT says lie was always "a bad boy;'' but she smiles as she says it and adds that he was great fighter and could kick like a mule." He always got the best of a boyish fight and always came home with bruises as we'll as glory.
 Leonard Wood began life in Massachu- setts He picked cranberres in the bogs of Cape Cod and fished alongshore. He was a typical country boy, but with more money than all the Bay state country boys have; and with more ambition than ne could curb He was always busy; and so precocious was he that he stood first in his class even when he was the youngest ana smallest.
 The son of doctor, he fancied, for no etrange reason the medical profession, and as soon as he reached the age limit he was sent to the medical school at Cambridge. He was too young when he graduated to practice, and his spare time was spent In trying to raise a moustache; for no patent was trusting enough to commit his body in- to the hands of so immature youth.
 One day friend met him on the street: ''Why, hello!" was the salutation. If that isn't Len Wood. Where in the world did you get that little moustache?"
 Raised it," was the laconic response. "It was darned hard work getting patients without one"
 Fortune and chance called Leonard Wood to Arizona. He went west to practice medi- cine in the army. But the following day he was sent out to fight Indians. That was fifteen years ago, when Geronimo was on the warpath, and when the roads through Arizona were red with the slaughter of women and children. Captain Wood, for he was put in command of band. longed to chase Geronimo; and, being given permis- sion. he started after that wicked brave and pursued him southwest until he succeeded fin catching him.
 Geronimo is today still prisoner; and if he were today to see the face of General

The talent luncheon calls fo- a1 entertsi = ment which may contain recitations, songs and fancy dancing The hostess arranges this matter, and when she has secured her talent she sends out her invitations with an R. s. V. P. upon them. As soon as a guest responds she is furnished with @ few simple lines which tell her that Miss White is to sing; Miss Black is to recite and Miss Green has a poem to read.
 Then comes the feature of the talent lun- cheon. The guest is expected to prepare a fancy programme setting forth the enter tainment.
 If she be a woman talented with the nee dle, she will embroider the names and the numbers upon piece of white satin ribbon
The age-herald., 1899-07-30

and will decorate all with embroidered flow CTS. If she prefers, she can write the names with India ink and ornament the whole pro- gramme with embroidery. Others will paint them. Funny programmes can be made by cutting capital letters out of the newspa- pers and pasting them on big sheet of paper and afterward decorating with news paper pictures. There is really no limit to what can be done in the line of decorative programmes.
 After the luncheon the guests are invited out upon the lawn or into the drawing room and then the programmes which have pre- viously been collected are distributed, no guest getting his own. The result is some- thing very odd and pleasant. Try it.

The talent luncheon is the very newest thing of the season. It is absolutely unique and the one who first gives such one in this city can enjoy the honor of having ors iginated something unherad of in her set.
 The talent luncheon originated this sum- mel. in Paris, in the art students quarter, where there is always something to be mo- ted.
 The mode of giving the luncheon Is not so very different from others. It is a sit- down affair.
 The table may be dressed according to taste and the usual viands are set forth. But the novelty lies in the programmes, which are homemade

To Tell the Sneed-

Not one person. in a hundred who

They know IT'S circumference and bv
cOHn ting its revolutions Within a GER

speed at which they are running. A
fayorfte method of timing among mas.

so that rule will net always work. The
most accurate method. and the most
TN use by experienced railroad men. IN
to count the number of rail Joints the
tram passes over I'm twenty seconds
The rails on nearly all roads are
thirty feet In length. and the number
passed over in twenty seconds is the
speed per hour a, train is running. Fer

thirty clicks ON rail joint in twenty
seconds. the train is running at =
speed of thirty miles an hour. Ac-
tually, this method falls little shert.

speed would be nearer tihirty-one than
thirty miles. but 1t is near enough for
al practical purposes.-Chicago Inter

Our Trade With Hawaii.

Custom-house statistics from Homo.
lulu for 1898 confirm the expectations
of the men who favored the annexa.
trOn of the Hawaiian islands, While
exports are reported at $17,346, IA
am increase of $1,324.969 over the ex-
ports of 1S97-the imports, amounting
to $11 $50, 800, show an increase over
the imports of 1897 of $3,968,262 mas
much aS annexation did not take place
until the year was more than hall
passed it is probable that the com
merce of the islands henceforth will
show am even greater growth.
One important and Interesting feat.
ure of these statistics lies in the grea
leap made by THE imports, most OF
which come from the United States.
They show that the trade of the isl.

ports-hIas increased more than 81 per
cent over the figures of the preceding
year. How large a part of this in.

Napoleon as a Matchmaker,

The greatest matchmaker that the
world has ever known seems to have
been Napoleon. After having repeat
eddy declined his hand the doughty
little soldier at last persuaded the
fair Josephine to marry him. He
then turned his attention to the mat
rlmonfal affairs of either folk. He had
perfect mania for making people
marry. and no excuse was permitted
from a. bachelor. IF an army man
pleaded that he might he killed in
hattie the emperor would insist that
that was simply reason for haste
To those who urged that thew could
not find wives Napoleon would saw.
Let that be my care" and the same
evening the thing woiitd ne arranged.
TO the poor he gave dowries and tros-
seaIx. and one day he married off 600
soldiers at once. On another occa-
sion his great court dignitaries had
to be married en- masse.

In the cold gray dawn they came

A New Pin Custom.

THE pincrshion has taken a new
turn. Thoughtful women have never
been able ITO reason out why every
one of their sex insists that she can
get On without a. pincushion, because
not one woman out of a Thousand
ever uses one. Pins are put any
where except into the pincushioH
All the same, every woman musu
own pincushion, and if she desires
really swell one. it must be at least
one yard long, six inches high and
not quite SO wide AIS 1T is high. The
new Pincushion, before it is dressed
up in NET, laces and ribbons. reminds
one more of long loaf of French
bread than anything else, but once
set off with the proper frirls and
furbe1ows, it looks beautiful on a
dressing table-far too pretty to
stick pins into.
