AID TO STRGET CLEANING.

One OF the angels" who was indus
of Woodward and Gratot avenues, the
other morning, suddenly dropped his
implements and darted away from the
SPOT as II he had come unawares upon
a nest Of hornets But he had not.
The cause OF his unCcrcmonious be-
havior was that last delivery wagon
that went by. 1t bounced and bound
cd on slight obstruction at the cor
ner, swung around rather quickly, and
a package was dropped out at he back.
When the package struck the pavement
the angel" white suit and all
pounced upon 1t. The package con
tanned nothing more or less than
candy. or course the paper broke with
the force OF the fall. and the sweets
were scattered over the pavement oh,
what harvest The angel kept both
hands busy raking up the pieces and
stGffing them into his pockets at once,
until they stood ont on his clothes like
toothache-cheeks But he was no,
long to be alone with this precious
windfall. a flock Of small boys, In the
exact number Of lot OF English spar
rows, swoopcd down upon him and
eagerly swept the pavement with him.
Then the driver of the wagon came
back on foot TO recover his property.
Alas, there was only little candy left
in the paper. This he picked up. while
the angel and the sparrows turned
on him faces filled with the utmost
contempt. THE idea" they seemed TO
say. "of man being mean enough 10
spoil a good thing like this and pick
ing up the stuff that has once fallen in
to the dirty street" Blu when the
driver had gone away and the small
boys had dispersed, and the angel had
returned to work, It was re-
marked that that part Of the street
had never before been so clean

money paid TO the Spanish steamship
companies for the carrying trade TO
and from the colonies. The imports
into Spain from the colonies, he says,
amounted in 1896 to 260,ST7 tons from
Cuba. 26.0I1 tons from Porto Rico, and
40.9S5 tons from the Philippines. He
computes that the amount paid in
freight amounted in the commerce
with Cuba to 7,S26,S1 pesetas; Porto
Rico. 7S2lS0 pesetas, and the Philip
pines, 2.254,175 pesetaS, total OF TO-
S62.6l5 pesetas. If to this be ? .ded
he value of passage money to and
from the colonies, putting it at the
low average of $50 pesetas head, 1t
shows a further 100000 pesetas per
annum, giving a total of 100000 pc
setas paid in freight and passage
money yearly to the steamship COM
panies for the carrying trade 10 and
from the colonies.
Consul Roberts expresses the opin
ion that Spanish manufacturers and
dealers are not going TO give up the
markets of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines without 4 struggle. He
also intimates that other natlonalities
have in the past participated in the
so-called Spanish trade with these
islands by locating in Spain and thus
getting the advantage Of low tariff
rates into the islands which was orig
inally given to commerce originating in
Spain. On this subject he says:
In the year 1892 the Spanish GUS
toms tariff on manufactured goods was
very considerably increased with the
view of virtually giving a monopoly to
goods manufactured here for eNporta-
ton to the colonies; this, of course,
gave an enormous impetus to manufac-
facture in this province, factories in
creased largely in number and the
Catalan manufacturers grew rapidly
rich The only way in which foreign
ers who had good clients in the colo
MES could meet this competition and
retain their markets was by starting
factories in this country. the goods
thus manufactured in the peninsula en-
tering the Spanish colonies on the
same terms as those of the Spanish
manufacturers, whereas if shipped
from England or elsewhere the prohib-
tive duty rendered competition inn
possible; or by having a resident agent
in this city who, purchasing from the
Catalan manufacturers, exported the
merchandise from here free of duty

MR.. HOGG'S BEARD.
Why 1t No Longer Adorns His Moon
like Countenance.

When James S. Hogg, formerly gov
ernor of Texas, numbered into town
last week and went to the Waldorf
Astoria his friends hardly knew him.
He was just as big, just as breezy, just
as open-hearted and companionable as
usual, but there was a change. His
talk was like that of old time, in that
it was full Of jovial observations and
punctuated with quaint western idioms.
The change was in his facial adorn-
ment. The governor, as every one
calls hirn-and he is known by hardly
any other name-formerly wore a
beard that rambled all over his face
and completely concealed the budding
good humor that is marked in every
line around his mouth. 1t was wild,
erratic sort Of beard, and seemed TO
be governed by no law. Now he is
clean shaver, and his face beams like
full, round moon, and his eyes
twinkle with merriment. How he
came to part with his beard is an inter
esting story.
After long neglect the governor one
day decided that he would have his
beard trimmed. To quote his own
words, he "ambled into the finest ton
serial place" he could find. He told
the barber that he wanted to have his
beard trimmed. This Barber was a
Frenchman and spoke little English
The governor made him understand
cd nv Gle Il n
words. He said afterward that he was
an idiot to trust a barber who couldn't
speak English, but in this case he die
He climbed heavily into the chair,
stretched out his bulky frame, ana
promptly went to sleep. The barber
clipped and nipped and the scissors
sang a lullaby that made the governor
slumber all the sounder. When he
woke up the barber was grinning and
Sinking and pointing with pride to
his handiwork. The governor gave
one look in the glass and gasped with
astonishment The barber had taken
his beard and trimmed it in the latest
Partisan fashion, with fine, sharp
point and with all the details OF d
Partisan dandy. The governor thun-
dered his anger but the poor barber
did not understand. The damage was
done however, and there was not gel-
ting around it. All that could be done
was to shave his face e.ean, and he
has dispensed with a beard ever since.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Hogg is a
democrat, believes in free silver, and
is a follower of William J. Bryan, he
is something Of an epicure and likes 10

TO DEVELOP THE FIGURE.

Ordinary women who are too busy 70
spend much time on exercises which
beautify the figure will do we'll to prac-
tee the following method for de-
yelopment ard good health. Stand
With the shoulders well thrown back
and fill the lungs slowly with air, hold
Ing your breath as long as yon possibly
can. Keep your mouth closed, and al
low the air to escape slowly through
your nose. This is easy to do. and the
effects are sure and lasting.
Another exercise Is for the arms,
and is quite as simple as the first.
Stretch your arms out In front OF yon,
clap your hands and then with sweep
throw them back until you can clap
them at the back as well as at tho
front.
