There is cloth here, writes cor

manufactured of pineapple fire, and
is called pinas cloth. The texture is
as delicate as a spiders web, and in
the hands of the women is fashioned
into the most wonderful designs.
I have seen small handkerchiefs which
cost 500 apiece, and lace sleeves
which run as high as 5000 apiece.

The nIessenger Boy.

A district messenger boy, not very
large, was sent with telegram to one
of the transports going to Cuba from
New York. He was given a reply.
He did not know what the message
would cost, so he carried it to the
office, and was sent back to collect
the money from the sender on the
transport. When he returned to the
transport, everything was in state
of hurry and confusion.
This small boy did not know the
ways of boats about going to sea, so
he ran fearlessly up the gang-plank,
and hurried about to find the man
who was to pay for the telegram.
While he was searching he felt a
motion. He was paralyzed; the boat
was moving! He hurried on deck, to
see a great sheet OF water between the
boat and the dock. His mother, his
home, the company with its rules, the
loss OF his work and Cuba! There was
way in that small boys mind. How
he wanted to keep still and go! But
there was so much to leave. He
turned aDd faced the officer who sent
the message.
Unjust have the money, and I must
get ashore" said the small boy,
bravely. 81 must get back to the
Office"
The officer was puzzled. After a
minutes thought he disappeared,
leaving the small boy in a tremor OF
hope and fear. If they could not put
him ashore, there was Cuba; but there
were his mother and the children, and
no wages. He must get ashore. The
boat was far out in the stream and
headed toward the lay.
He heard voices calling and answer

officer hurried, took the small boy by
the shoulder, anl gave him order:

CAPTAIN Siesbee's Dog.

You have heard Of *'Peggie," the
pup dog on the .. S. S. Maine when
she was blown up. Peggy is now at
Key West. She is pretty little dog.
She was tiny puppy when first given
to the captain of the Maine, little
more than a year ago, and was very
full of fun and mischief. She always
slept in the cabin, and amused her
self by "worrying'' any shoes she
found, and dragging about anything
she could, as most puppies do. She
always followed the captain every
where, no matter how many steps and
ladders were to be climbed. This
caused her to break her leg one day.
The leg was put in splints, but Peggle
could not keep still enoug b to have 1T
knit properly, so when she was well
this leg was little shorter than the
other.
Peggie was very fond of rushing at
the waste-pape basket and dragging
out the contents. She would whine
and CRY in very funny way when she
could not get them out. She re-
garded with great suspicion any one
in civilian dress coming on board the
Maine, and barked at all who were
not in uniform. She could turn
somersault if you held her head down
a second.
One day she came into the cabin
with chicken bone sticking out OF
one side of her mouth, and q pretty
nasturtium blossom in the other side:
She looked so cute that I wish I had
the picture to show you. One ear
stuck up and the other down, giving
her very comical expression. She
knew Just what she wanted to DO.
Laying the flower carefully down IN
the corner, she took the bone into an
other and proceeded to eat it. Alter
the bone had been disposed OF she
took the flower in her mouth again.
and finally left it at the captains teet.
Once she was taken driving at Key
West and while the carriage was IN
motion she jumped out Of the vehicle
on one side and into it on the other, un-
til the person she was with feared she
would break all her legs. Afterward
she thought the horses tails were
meant especially for her to play with,
so over the dashboard to bite the tails,
and down under the horses feet she
went. But she was not hurt and soon
sprang into the carriage again.

Smart Skating Costumes.

All these gay colors of cloth make a
Aorid and not Ineffective show on the
ponds and in the rinks, where the
whir of steel on ice rises on the frosty
air. A plain skirt, ankle long, with
vivid flannel or yelveteen bodice, IS
lust about the most graceful and be-
coming thing q skater can assume.
Cameps hair serge is what the skirt
is made Of and the most startling COM
binations in color prevail until the
rinks resemble carnival gatherings.
The biggest and brightest buttons
fash on upper, as we'll rs neither gar
ments, aud some of these are huge
polished pewter buttons, such as are
made and worn by Dutch men and
women on the frozen canals OF Hol-
land.
Pretty skating costumes from Paris
are resplendent with fur or fancy
braid and gay with silver buttons that
are in reality tiny bells, jingling ont
fairv music at every motion of the
wearer. The skirts of such suits are
cut close at the hip and somewhat full
below the knees, enabling the wearer
to move with freedom, and adding
greatly to the sum OF grace. Turbans
Of astrakan, broad tail and Persian
lamb are what the smart skaters wear.
These are round, cap-shaped things,
with a tuft OF bright feathers like
| shaving brush sticking up in fron'
and held by pin of Russian silver:
Every other woman, whether hel
frock is silk or serge, has depending
