The Powder Pun In Cuba.

The Cuban woman, young or old, con-
siders powder puff a more indispen-
sable adjunct to her toilet than mere
soap and water-a primal necessity to
her attractiveness which it is her re-
ligiOus duty to foster and preserve.
Thus all classes and conditions are
welded to the powder puff, from the
grand dame of fashion to the neglected
little orphan in the asylum; from the
crumpled visaGed octogenarian to the
rosy checked child of half n dozen sum-
mers. Go into any Cuban school and
you will find teachers and pupils alike
unsparingly Sarnished, n powder box
and the rag or bit of chamoiS with
which to apply it in every desk and
tucked alongside the chalk on the
blackboardS.
In shops where female clerks are en-
ployed and in the big tobacco factories
where 200 or 800 girls are at work roll
ing cigarettes the same is true.
Visit La Corona, the largest tobacco
factory in Havana. Ten o'clock is the
breakfast hour of the employees, and
when the hands of the clock point to Il
quarter of 10 every girl stops work and
reaches for her powder box. In the

The .nce Boy,s Revenge.

4 young lady who is employed in
one of the tall office buildings has n
young man acquaintance whose name
is Jones. \ few days ago the office
boy was saucy, and she scolded him.
a day or two later he marched into the
inner office where she was at work and
handed her one of Mr.. Jones' calling
cards.
rs he out there?" she whispered to
the boy.
The latter nodded.
Her heart beat faster. She could not
imagine what be had come to her of
fee for. Perhaps he wanted her to go
TO the theater that night. She went
softly to the washstand in the corner
bon about her neck freshly and then.
with her sweetest expression, went
into the other office.

"Yes?'
"Well, I'm a constable, and I've got

stood by His Dad.

Once when John Van Buren,, son of
President Van Buren,, was making n
speech in behalf of his father, an old
Democrat rose in the audience and up
braided him as bolter. Few men were
more effective on the stump or quicker
at repartee than John, and he replied
to the charge with an anecdote some
thing like this:
One day a man on horseback came
up with a boy who was contending
with an overturned load of hay. In
stead of tossing the hay back in. the
wagon, the boy was energetically toss
ing it hither and thither, regardless of
where it landed.
The traveller halted and said; My
young friend, why do you work so
furiously this hot weather. Why do
you not toss the hay back in the wag-
on and be more deliberate in your la
borS%
The boy stopped, wiped the stream
ing perspiration off his face on his
shirt sleeve. and, pointing to the pile of
hay on the roadside, exclaimed, 'Stran-
ger. dads under thar and then he set
about work more furiOusly than ever"

The WORD RLlZzARpN
Said to Have Been Used In South Da-
kOta In the SiNties.

A we'll known book of reference
states that the Chicago Advance was
the originator of the word "blizZard'
on the Sth of January, 1880. Old tim
ers in South Dakota take exception 10
the statement. A story is told by the
editor of the Hutchinson County Her
aid, who commenced his newspaper
work on the Dakota Republican, at
Vermillion, in August, 1867.
The Peake family, Swiss bell ringers,
arrived in Vernillion by stage, and
William Peake, manager of the bell
ringers, said to Il party of friends, Il
would like to see one of your billiards.
have heard so much about" Mr.. True
answered: "Ail right. We will order
one for your special benefit and have
1t here when you come back through
here from Eankton."
After showing three nights in Yank-
ton the troupe started homeward to
Sioux City, Mr. Peake being on the
outside of the stage with the driver.
The morning was warm and balmy.
Mr.. Peake was astonished at the ac-
lions of the driver, who suddenly whip
ped up. and asked what the matter
was. L. c. Williams, who was driv-
ing, answered that he was afraid Mr..
True's order was going to be a little
ahead of time. Look to the north
west" said he. There was the blizzard
approaching in all its fury. In almost
, minute the binding snow was being
whirled through the air, and Mr..
Peake withdrew to the inner part of
the stage. 1t was one of the most ter
rifle storms known to the territory,
which is saying considerable. The
Peake troupe was compelled to wait
several days at Vermillion until Mr..
True's blizzard had blown itself out

An Absentminded Man.

There have been great many stories
about absentminded men, where one
forSets his house address, another
what business he is in and where an
other has to refer to the mark on his
handkerchief before he can remember
his own name. There is Il farmer
named Rogers in the north, who pos
sessed Il Jersey COW, which he used to
drive morning and evening TO and from
the pasture, not far from his home.
One morning, as one of his neighbors
was passing along the road, he met
Mr.. Rogers walking in the middle of
the lane, his mind apparently engross-
ed with some weighty question. The
neighbOr called out:
Good morning, Mr.. Rogers. Where
are you going?"
Why" said SIr. Rogers. in a sur
prised way, I'm driving the COW TO
pasture" And he waved his hand to-
ward where the COW ought to have
been.
We'll, where's the cow?" asked his
friend.
Il suppose 1 forgot to let her out of
the barn." answered Mr.. Rogers hum
bly, as he realized his position. And he

Sir Joseph Prestwich had bought in
1864 n small estate near Sevenoaks, on
which he built residence, but it was
high up on n dry and treeless chalk
down. Where was water to be found?
80 confident was Prestwich in re-
spect of water supply that he at once
engaged an old well digger to sink n
we'll 16S feet deep. The boring pro-
ceeded, but when Il depth of 166 feet
was reached the two workmen went to
the city and sought an interview with
their employer, whom they found at
his desk. They explained that there
was no sign OF water and that inttheir
opinion it was useless to bore TO a
greater depth. Go on was the quiet
rejoinder, you will come upon wafer to-
morrow. You are within two feet of
it
Next day it proved exactly as Prest-
witch had forctold. And ever after,
among many of the deniZens of the val
ley, lie had the reputation, much to
his amusement, of not being quite

There We're things with long hind legs
and short front legs and vice versa.
There We're bugs with horns and all

sweat. / thought l had 'em that time.
John said the boss behind me,
there's a box up there addressed to
the Smithsonian institution at Wash
ington. 1t came from New Mexico, and
great Scott, it's burst, and the bugs
are all getting OUT
Say, 1 never felt better in my life
than L did that minute. 1t took us all
day to round up those bugs and get
them back into the box. Some of them
were so ugly that we were all sure
they We're poison biters. But l was
mighty glad 1 didn't have those kind
of bugs in my mind."-Kansas City
