The Machete.

AS 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 his earlier age, which imparts a
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 a quarrelsome
people and respect every body. to be
equally respected. With the machete a
few curious accessories are used. The
principal are - thin strip Of leather
closely tied to the right wrist, 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 thorns.

MYSTERIOUS LIGHT AT SEA.
Three Steamers Didn't Understand

Three Steamers Didn't Understand
1t, but the Prince of Monaco Knew.
The Prince of Monaco has been known
since 1885 as an enthusiastic student
of the sea and it's various forms of life
He usually spends his summers in the
study of oceanographic problems, and
his cruises have on some occasions been
extended almost to the coasts Of Amer
lea. He delivered a lecture before the
Royal Geographical society in London
In which he told this incident:
One afternoon, while in the bay of
Biscay. he sank the trap in which he
collected specimens of sea life. 1t went
to the bottom in over $4,000 feet of
water. and as night approached he fas-
tened to the wire attached to it an cleo
trio buoy and then stood off mile or
so. 1t did not happen to occur to him
that he was right in the track of steam
ers plying between northern Europe
and the Mediterranean, but he was re-
minded of the fact later.
AS he and his IA sailors were watch
ing with good deal of satisfaction the
swaying buoy with it's brilliant illu-
mination steamers lights came into
view 1t was soon evident that the
steamer was curious to know the mean
ing of the illumination. for she altered
her course and made for the light She
knew that no fishing boats came out SO
far from land and SO determined to
solve the mystery. Up she came to
within quarter of mile of the buoy.

ed ahead. perhaps little Disguised at
the incident that had lured her several
miles out of her course.
She had hardly got away when a Sec
ond steamer came into view, and she.
too bore down upon the lighted buoy
The marines on the prince vessel un-
derstood by this time that the illumina-
ton was probably believed to be evil
dence of a disaster. Just as the prince q
steamer was moving up to explain mat
tiers she was nearly run down by one OF
the large liners in the oriental trade,
which had also left her course to render
what assistance she could
The swell was very heavy, and the
prince feared a collision as the three
vessels approached the light like moths
around candle. He therefore veered
off and the other vessels. after standing
by for a few minutes. went on their
way and probably never learned the
cause of that nights illumination at
sea.
But the incident gave the prince a
pointer He carefully refrained there
after from exhibiting his electric buoy

Cooking Down south.


A thoughtful Virginian Of mature
years undertook yesterday to explain to
me why southern people living in the
aorth revert so often to the old fash
toned cooking: ''The beauty of the
southern family dinner lay in the sea-
soning of the food to suit the taste of
all the members of the household. in

Dinah, or Aunt Sarah, or Aunt Chloe,
the cook, knew exactly from years of

what the father submitted to and what

please all.
"Take, for example, rice pudding,
one of the familiar stand bys. In the
