CURRENCY PROBLEMS IN CUBA.
PREMIUM PAID FOR AMERICAN NOTES AND


Havana. Jan. 13-American notes and coin are
selling a. per cent premium over the regular
rate Of foreign exchange for Spanish and Ameri-
can gold The reason is that centenes worth in
New-York from ass 10 4.s9. are receivable here
FOR customs dues at $50. Consequently import
ers would rather pay American currency at a
premium than part with centenes at six or seven
cents less their value for other business
There is little American gold here probably
ABOUT 100000 and American notes are
brought ny the soldiers and visitors. The pay

AUTONOMY.

NEW YORK, lay GA sun cable
from Manila says: Judge Advocate
Alberto Baretto, one of the Filipino
Commissioners, had an interview to-
day with the American Philippine
Commission. The meeting was ap.
proved of by General Luna, one of the
rebel commanders, who is thoroughly
in accord with Aguinaldo in his efforts
to obtain peace.
The primary object of the interview
was to ascertain the kind of govern
ment that the United States proposes
to establish here. The Filipino com
missioners have no power to effect a
settlement, but must refer all matters
to Aguinaldo.
MANILA, May 22.-The Filipino
Commissioners, Gen. Gregorio del Pi-
lar, Lieut.. Col. Alberto Baretto, Maj.
Zealrate and Senior Garcia Gonzaga.
with their families, spent today in Wis.,
iting friends in Manila, and conferred
with Seniors Floriento Torres, Pablo
OCampo and Teodore Yanco, the mem
bers of the local Filipino association
who will participate in the meetings
with the American Commissioners
Senior Torres was member of Agui-
naldo's Commission before the war. He
opposes independence, and favors au-
tonomy. and he has been most influ-
ential in persuading the followers of
Aguinaldo to make the present ad-
vances.
Autonomy is the burden of the talk
of the Filipinos. and it is thought that
the kind they wish for would be little
different from the scheme of an Amer
lean protectorate which they talked OF
before the war.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Schurman,
president of the American Philippine
Commission. the local Filipino peace
party has started newspaper.

Gen. Lawton has occupied Arayat,
about seven miles beyond Candaba, on
the Rio Grande. taking the course Of

Beautiful viennese women.

Vienna, the capital of Austria, is
chiefly noted for producing three things
coffee, music and women. The word
''jolly" describes the temper of the
Viennese woman most aptly. She lives
only for today and lets the morrow take
care of itself. She is as good house
keeper as her German sister, but not
quite SO particular. She is quite as eco
nomical, but dresses herself more artis-
tically. She is just as good mother,
but more loving wife. She is some
what nervous, and the quarrel with her
husband is as regular as the amen in
her prayer. The truest and prettiest
type of the beautiful Viennese woman
is that which comes from the south. In
common with the majority of her Euro
pean sisters, the Viennese makes mar
riage her goal, but retains her girlish
ways, her jolly spirit and much of her
beauty, and even to guess at her age is
not only a crime, but an absurdity.-

Mend Your BIRDS Legs.

Young chickens and other birds fire.
quently break the bones of their legs,
and if properly attended to these frac-
lures can be easily cured with very lit
tie trouble. AS soon as the injury is
noticed the fracture must be carefully
cleaned and washed with warm water
and then wrapped with bit of antisep-
tic cotton. Splints are then prepared
for the fractured limb, preferably of
split elder wood, the pith of which is
taken out. These splints are fastened
to the cotton with drop of glue, and
held tightly in place by being wound
with linen thread The bandage and
dressing are left undisturbed for from
three to four weeks, then the leg is
soaked in tepid water until the bandage
comes off easily. The fracture will have
completely healed in Chat time.

THE TRUE MANIA.
Interesting Facts About n Lichen Of
the Snharan Desert.


According to M. Chastrey, the true
mamma of the Scripture is the thallo-
phyte, known to botanists as Canona
esculenta and Lichen esculentus.
The nomads of the Sahara and south
Algeria call it Ousseh- el-Ard. 1t is also
found in Persia, Arabia and Mesopo-
tamia. 1t is grayish, about the size of
small pea, and farinaceous inside.
Some say the spores are brought by
wind and develop with dew. Others
think it leaves germ or seed behind it
when it perishes. 1t should be collected
in the morning of its appearance, be-
cause it dries in the sun and is lost in
the sand. 1t can be preserved in closed
vessel The lichen does not cling to any
foreign body, but lies On the sand in a
layer sometimes nearly an inch thick
and can be collected easily. It is rather
sweet in taste.
The Arabs, whose lives it often saves,
coil it in water, and thus get gelati-
nous paste, which they serve in various
ways. To preserve the mama they dry
it in the shade or they wrap the paste
in skins. Analysis shows that the lichen
contains 16 parts of water, IA Of nitrog-
enous matter, 90 Of heterogeneous
matter, of mineral matter, 80 of sug-
AIRED and amylaceous matter and 4 Of
fats. The Arabs of Chaambra and the
Algerian douars never fail to gather it
after dews and rains as welcome ad-
dition to their diet and a gentle laxa-
tive.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Blankets of Bark,

In Ecuador. one of the South Ameri-
can republics, the bark of a tree which
grows on the slopes of the Andes is
utilized for the making of blankets.
The blanket is over six feet long and
over five feet wide and is as soft and
pliable as though it We're made of fan
mel. 1t is about the thickness of good
flannel blanket and can be rolled up and
put in a strap without hurting or injur-
ing it.
This tree or bark blanket is merely q
strip of bark cut from section of the
trunk Of the blanket or demajagua tree.
The Indians make cutting around the
trunk to get it, and they prepare it J,
soaking it in water until it is soft. 1t
is then pounded so that the rough out
side can be stripped off and the inside
alone left. The inside is of fine fibers so
joined together by nature that it makes
beautiful blanket, warm enough to
be used as a cover and soft enough for
mattress.

FORESTS OF STONE.
They Exist In Various Parts of the
World.

Old forests are apt to get into the
most impossible places and to turn into
the most preposterous shapes. All ou1
coalfields are ancient forests far under
ground, then crushed and cooked into
a hard mineral substance. The are for
ests of plants which once grew as
mighty trees, for outside Of fairyland
who would ever imagine a majestic
woodland Of club moss and reeds and
the little sand weed called the horsetail /!
In Greenland, right under the ice
fields, a buried forest has been found in
which the plants were all palms and
tropical creepers proving that once the
arctic regions were as hot as the Indies
In the Wash, between the counties
of Lincoln and Norfolk, there is an old
forest under the sea, with stumps of
fallen oaks and elms still visible in
places when the tide is low. This was
all dry land in the days Of the ancient
Bris ms.
Out in the desert of Arizona there is
a dead forest on the surface Of burning
rock and drifting sand, where no plant
save the cactus can now find any wa
ter. When the place was first discover
ed, a negro cook thought it would be an
excellent place for camping, so he took
an ak and delivered mighty blow
upon the fallen trunk Of big red pine.
His ak was ruined, the haft smashed
and his fingers SO badly hurt that he
sat down and howled, for that tree
was changed to massive rock, which
looked as fresh as though felled but
yesterday. The whole PROSTATE forest
of big timber had been changed into
valuable and beautiful onyx, jasper
and agate. Chicago Tribune.
