The Machctr.

As a defensive weapon the value OF
the machete is small. Even its often
sive 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
"gua jiros" or "monteros." they settle
the matter with their machetes as cor
ageously and tenaciously as two game
cocks, and generally both parties are
seriously injured for life, or remain
killed on the spot.
Owing to this fact, and to the natural
kindly disposition Of the Cuban peas
ants. they are not quarrelsome peo-
pie, and respect everybody, to be equ-
ally respected. With the machete a
few curious accessories are used: the
principal are thin strip of leather
closely tied TO the right wrist, a small
round piece of grinding stone to sharp
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.

The Sand Desert of India.

The sand ridges. or dhoras. of the

both northeast and southwest. cover
ing a longitudinal distance of one or
two miles, when they are again re-
peated i'm a similar formation. Their
cross slopes average 2 to 1. and are
we'll covered with desert grasses and
bushes. an occasional acacia or rohira
tree breaking the monotony Of the
landscape. This peculiar formation
ends abruptly at the sandstone cliffs
of Sata, about one thousand feet above
sea-level, which form a barrier to their
further extension eaStwardS. When
seen for the first time from these
heights. they have a. confused wave
like appearance, and it is only ulti-
mately discovered that they form in

The White Ink Fad.

The latest daintiness to be assumed
by milady in connection with her cor
reSpondence is the use of a delicate
white ink. TO correspond with the
white crest or monogram. This is
used only with the most delicate tints
of paper or the deepest. For instance.
the deep Russian blue or the Sultan
red shows to good advantage under
white ink. The prettiest of them all,
however, are the Wedgewood effects in
blues of several shades, the blue gray
being the most effective.
The monOgramS and crests used
with the Wedgwood blue papers are
of the tinfest, to carry out the Wedg-
wood effect in its entirety. Of course,
nothing but pure white wax must be
used with this combination.

THE SMALLEST LOT IN NEW YORK.
The property is so small that a man
of ordinary height can readily stand
with foot on either Of its boundaries.
Despite its diminutive size it has been
used for several purposes. A news
stand was once located there and at
tracted customers from both streets.
In using the lot even for this purpose,
however, il was found necessary to
occupy part of sidewalk in front.
The entire estate was taken up with
but two or three piles Of folded papers,
The man who presided over the news
stand was obliged to stand on his
neighbor's property while he reached
over his own to hand customer a pa
per.
At another time a peanut-stand was
set up and the entire property was
taken up with the roasting apparatus.
and il peanut was knocked off the
stand it fell on the next neighbor's
grounds.
The smallest estate is now occupied
by a substantial little pavilion covered
with an elaborate roof which extends
out over it's limits.
This diminutive estate is supposed
to have been due to a mistake of the
Surveyors years ago.
The present owner will not listen to
any offers for it's sale. 1t has been
rented for years for $50 month. and
he is we'll satisfied with the invest
ment. The most determined effort to
buy the estate has been made by the
owners Of the hotel which occupies the
adjoining site, but the owner Of the
smallest estate declares that his prop
erty is not on the market.
