most OF the mui1ers Committed in Ha.
vana during the past ten years.
Two years ago. when Porrua was
civil governor Of Havana, over 600 Ma
nigos were arrested and deported to
Ceuta and Chafarinas, Spain's penal
colonies, with the result that during
the entire period Of the blockade, at a
time when hunger and want might pos
sibly have driven men to crime, not a
single case Of burglary, hold upor theft
was reported by the police.
Since the signing Of the peace protocol
Spain has gradually shipped back to
Cuba and turned loose every one of
these deported Nanigos as gift to
Cuba and the United States. Since then
crime has again been rampant in Ha-
vana.
The release of these avowed criminals
and their infection on the peaceful COM
munity of Havana were made the sub
ject of an energetic protest on the part
of the American commissioners in Cuba.
These criminals are today at large and
offer serious menace to law and order
in Havana. Another thing that de-
mands instant attention is the condition
Of Cuba's beggars beyond the mere re-
lieying Of their hunger and distress
The thousands Of boys and girls of ten
der age who have begun life begging OF
the street, learning evil and thrown
with corrupt and unprincipled asso-
ciates, must be placed in some reforma-
tory and kept there for years until they
have forgotten their old life and learned
a trade whereby they can earn an hon
est living. At present these children
constitute the majority of Cuba's native
rising generation.
As to the possibility Of serious trou-
BILE with the Cubans over the military
occupation of the islands for more or
less indefinite period it is not likely
that any grave disturbance will arise.
That dissatisfaction may take more
or less virulent form in certain quarters
is to be anticipated, there being well
defined element among the Cubans that
will seek to incite riots or revolts
against the occupying power, but it is
by no means likely that general up
rising will occur or that any disturbance
will take place demanding any over.

Cling and making sacrifices for the

ing over the palace and the Moro, and
the desire is natural one.
If his sentimental side is pampered
and his vanity catered to, the Cuban
will be sepsible enough to see before
long that annexation to the United
States affords the only assurance and
guarantee of stability and commercial
activity to the island.

frills of silk are the only rc-enforcements
employed, the aim being to keep the folds
soft and flexible. The inside frills are
rather deep, and are plated instead Of be-
ing ruffled. ~
Some of the newest elegant petticoats
are of fine quality Of white taffeta, and
are lavishly adorned with applications of
delicate black lace. These black lace mo-
tifs are frequently lined with colorcd silk,
pink being specially effective. White or
very light silks for petticoats are more IA
vored than those of deep color. Large
stripes in light colors arc newer than floral
designs or small patterns, unless the latter
are woven and are of the same color as
the rest of the goods, thus forming merely
q broken surface.
The illustration shows am attractive
vest to be worn with bolero Of an open
coat. 1t is of red liberty silk, with a
draped front. The pointed plastron is of
ecru guipure and the cravat of red silk
has a vandyked edge bOrdered with narrow
guipure to match. The high collar Of
white silk has an application of guipure
over red silk The same idea might be
more quietly carried out in green silk and
black lace. JUDO CHOLLET.

themselves form an important adornmcnt.
These, when not original antiques, are
copied from valuable ancient models and
are veritablc works of art.
While thick satins, superb velvets, rich
brocades and broche silks and checked
moires are in great demand. there are also
very thin and delicate materials, light and
transparent as gossamer. They are plain
or are embroidered with lace, beads and
spangles and are employed for dancing
gowns, being trimmed with light and
fluffy decorations, which carry out the gen.
eral diaphanous idea.
The illustration given today shows a
costume of red faille It is in the princess
form and has lengthwise trimming of
black bands and black buttons In front

His Mean Revenge.

She was ono of the aggressive kind, and
she undertook to elbow and push her way
to the front Of the crowd that was leaving
the car.
He was a mild hammered little fellow
and did not seem to resent it at all when
her elbow dug into him as she went by.
and he had his revenge.
81 should not think" he said to his
companion in tone that could be heard
by every one near, "that a woman whose
gown showed a gaping placket would be
anxious for q position in front Of the
crowd"
OF course his wife had put him up to it,
but the aggressive woman did not know
that, and three minutes later she was, the
last one of all.-Chicago Post.

What a Visitor Learned-The Prin-
cipaI Ii Wiser Too.
The visitor was being conducted through
the large public school building, by its
proud woman principal His introduction
to a class was something like this:
''Oh, see all the little girls! Busy chill
dren? Happy? Now, why do you come
to SCHOOL, Truly, you don't like tor" A
little giggle was the affirmative answer.
Now, children, think you said you
had little pieces to say. What little girl
will say piece?"
Forty hands We're up at once, and ten
more little later.
''That little girl :"
A 7-year-old in checked pinafore rose
and making little bow, which made her
two golden pigtails fly around amazingly,
began, How doth er title buthy bee i'm

And the next little girl lisped in the
same way about the acorn, and another
about the field daisy and the butterfly.

the principal.
"Yeth, ma am" said one; '.thath be-
cauth we hathn't all our teeth" And a
finger pointed to the place where two front
ones ought to be-
"Oh!" said the principal. Elbow many
little girls have lost teeth-baby teeth"
Forty two ont Of 80 children held up their
hands. Only eight had all their teeth.
"Now, why do you lose your teeth"
asked the principal.
"Soath to get big onth,'' was the an
swer
"How many kinds Of teeth do you
have?" asked the principal. All numbers
were given.
Eyes, three" said the principal. "What
is the third kind?"
''The kindth you keep in glass" was
the answer-New York Commercial Ad-

A ROYAL Disciplinarian.

The Duke of Connaught is rigid dis
ciplinarian even in his own home circle,
and punctuality is one Of his great points.
On one OCCASION he had arranged to attend
. military entertainment with the duchess
and his daughters. They were to start IN
the carriage at a certain time, but when
their parents and the carriage were ready
the young ladies had not finished dressing.
The duke refused to wait, and as the
duchess would not 30 without them he

Polishing Up Old Furniture.

To polish up old furniture, where paint
is not desirable, there are numerous fur
"home remedy" which if not repeated too
often is very efficacious, is a wooden cloth
moistened with coal oil. This removes
the grease and smoke. 1t should, how
ever, be used sparingly, as it is likely to
affect the varnish. Ifrubbed thoroughly
afterward with channels skin or fresh
cloth, there is very little of the disagree
able olor left. With any Of the polishcs a
good rule to remember is, Avoid putting
on too much of the polish, but don't be
afraid of rubbing. -Exchange.

Domestic Animals Bring Infection.

Evidence that colds are infectious is fur
nished by what we observe among our do,
nestle animals. Cats seem to be specially
susceptible. Probably they often bring
home from their nocturnal rambles those
mysterious catarrhal attacks which SO rap
idly run through the hoase. 1t is an old
saying, The cat is sneezing; We shall all
have colds .
Sheep too, are liable. A whole flock
may suffer and may show that curious
eruption round the lips (herpes labialis)
which we all know only too well as one OF
the most unpleasant accompaniment of a
bad cold in the head
On the Australian sheep runs, when the
shearing season comes round, the men
who congregato at the sheds are frequent
ly smitten with an illness of y catarrhal
nature, which rapidly takes hold of them
and often affects some 80 per cent. Some
times it becomes very serious and may
even develop into fatal pneumonia. To
all appearance it is caught from the sheep,

Tomorrow.

The setting sun, with dying beams.
Had walked the purnle hill to fire.
And citadel and dome and spire
Were gilded by the far-off CLEANS:
And in and out dark pine trees crept
Full many a slender thread of gold:
Gold shafts athwart the river swept,
And kissed it as it onward rolled;
And sunlight fingered, loath to go;
All. well! it causeth- sorrow
To part from those We love below:
And yet the sun as bright shall glow
Tomorrow.
Two hearts have met sto4say farewell
AT even when the sun went down.
Each life-sound from the busy town
Smote sadly as a passings bell.
One whispered, Parting is sweet pain
At morn and eve returns the tide
Nay. parting rends the heart in twain.
And still they linger side. by side;
And still they linger, loath to go:
All. well. it causelh sorrow
To part from those We love below
For shall we ever meet or no.
