A Surprised Contractor.

ways of dealing with the corruptionists
who flourish in the Cuban capital Re-
Gently contractor who called to see
him laid down a $50 bill beside his
card. Ludlow was indignant but moth
ing in his manner indicated it. He
greeted the man pleasantly and sug-
gested that a smoke would enable them
to talk more freely. He drew from
his pocket two cigars, handed one to
the contractor and put the other be-
tween his own lips. Then looking
around on his table, as if for a match,
and finding none, he coolly took the
$50 note, twisted into a lighter set it
aflame from the open CRATE fire. light
ed his own cigar, and without chang
ing countenance, passed the stump of
the burning bill over to the contractor,
whose appetite for tobacco seemed to
have experienced a sudden check. The
conversation did not last long, but the
contractor went away with a new idea
in his head, If not about contracts at
least about Ludlow.-Utica Press.

A Health Giving Exercise.

Breathing exercises alone will do
much to improve the general health Of
nearly all women. Stand before a
mirror in room into which a good sup
ply of air is coming, and raise the
hands straight over the head, and then
let them drop naturally TO the side
without attempting to square the
shoulders. Then closing the mouth
take long, deep breath and hold
1T in the lungs for few seconds Re-
peat this as often as you can without
feeling tired. Every day try the same
exercise until you can hold your breath
for minute or minute and a half
This will increase the exterior of the
chest and develop the interior Short,
quick gasps are not normal breathing
This Is most important for weak and
slckly children. AS the fresh air is a
great stimulant to the lungs, when
deeply inhaled. one has to be very care
full not to bring on dizziness by over
exercising at first. Every woman must
be a guide to herself. Always stop ex-
ercising before fatigue sets in, as over
exercising and no exercising at all bring
the same results. Never try the limit of
your strength.-Woman's Home Com
panion.

FRUIT SALES.
The Atlantic Speedway.

The dangers of travel between Eu-
rope and the United States are con-
sidered by II. Phelps Whitmarsh in an
article in the September Century. -
They are not SO great. it seems, as
those of railway travel: for four out of
every thousand travellers are killed or
injured in travelling by rail- while only
two are killed or manned at sea.
The establishment of specific and sep
arate tracks for eastward and west
ward bound steamships has doubtless
decreased the chances of collision. I'm
fortunately, however. only the passen-
ger lines have agreed to use these
ocean lanes, and. in consequence. there
is still the risk of meeting tramp
steamers and sailing vessels. Captain
Randle Of the steamship st. Louis has
kindly furnished me with two practi-
cal ideas on this phase of my subject,
as follows:
There are two suggestions that l
would offer in regard to making life
on the Atlantic Ocean safer than it is
to-day. The first is the establishment
of eastward and westward routes one
degree to the southwark of the present
position. This. though it would increase
the time of passage by an hour or so,
would take vessels out of the greater
part of the fog area. The second is the
making of an international law which
shall compel all vessels crossing the
Atlantic. whether under steam or sail,
either to follow the routes laid down or
TO give them a wide BERTH
The feelings" of Captains in regard
m hae,
ciently proved to be depended upon.
They should be compelled, under the
penalty of losing their certificates to
comply with the law, particularly with
regard to speed in thick" weather.
To this end it is suggested that all
steamships be required to carry tell
tales in some part Of the ship acces-
sible to all, which will register at all
times the rate of speed at which the
vessel is going. 1t is an old saying that
the Captain who gives his attention TO
the four "Ls"-lead log, lights and
lookouts-runs but little danger of ca
tastrophe. To this there should be add
ed a fifth L, " standing for law. Fin
ally, the steamship companies should
be made liable for the human freight
they carry. Why steamships, in con-
tradistinction to railroads, should be
allowed to consider accidents as an act
of God, and. with the loss of the ship.
be exempt from liability, is beyond my
comprehension. Accidents, both af1oat
and ashore, are inevitable. Occasion
ally they are caused by conditions over
which man has no control. but in nine
ty-nine cases out of a hundred they
can be traced TO some human error.
and in the interest of safety all COM
mon carriers, whether they float, roll,
or fly, should be forced to take precau-
+tions. which only their liability will Sc
cure

Rabbit Hatched the Eggs.

Yet another instance is recorded of a
respectable four-legged animal setting
successfully on eggs. Last time it was
a cat, this time it is a rabbit. A young
and tender animal was picked up, and
for want of a hutch put in an aviary.
There it made immense friends with
the doves, and in a truly unseifish spir-
it insisted on warming up the eggs.
After the orthodox period of incubation
two doves successfully burst their
shells. Such is the story. 1t is the
season for such stories.-London Globe.
