MUSTAcHES.
What They Indicate To a Close OBJ.
server of Character.

Much has been said of late about tell.
ang character by the mouth. This is
all right so far as it goes-that is,
with the women, or with men wno al.
ways wear smooth face, but most
men wear q mustache The shape
and size of the mustache may tell rs
much as the shape and size OF the
mouth.
A man rarely hides fine mouth. II
he wears mustache he does so be.
cause his first experiment proved to
his own satisfaction that his mustache
was worthy of preservation, but he
trains 1t carefully so that it will not
entirely hide any marks of beauty or
strength. Women do not have all
the vanity.
There is man who wears a heavy
mustache to hide an ugly mouth or
teeth, or to disguise his feelings. He
Is in the habit of hiding a sarcastic
smile behind the dropping mustache.
No dandy would be guilty of such
monstrous affair. His mustache
must be fine and delicate, at least
graceful, and readily trained into
graceful little curls at the ends. II he
is really fine in his nature the quality
Of the hair is silky and soft, easily
curling, and perhaps even naturally
wavy An even-tempered disposition
is indicated by the soft and well
survi lips, showing beneath this
mus A:he
The fierce, bristling mustache which
hides nothing, but stands straight up,
like stubble in wheat field, shows
an extremely harsh nature, bad tenn
per and general uncouthness. A man
with mustache constantly on the de-
fensive, as it were, like sentinels, is to
be avoided.
This is quite different from the long
military mustache, with waxed ends,
which is supposed to be quite fierce,
but which is not so in fact The mill
tary is quite distinctive from the
French fashion, which is also a waxed
mustache, and is arranged with as
much care as any other part of the
toilet.
AS to colors, the same rule follows
as in the color of the hair. Black is
the most intense in nature, blonde
the least so, while the varying shades
belong to as varied characteristics.
The mixture of colors, such as red
mustache with dark brown hair, soft.

colorless hair often goes with thin.
Tipped mouth, which denotes obstinacy
and lack of sympathy or feeling.

FUTURE OF CUBA.
Business Development and Chances
For Investment.

For the island of Cuba there is a
great future prospect. The general
condition of trade and commerce has
grealy improved within the past few
greatly improved within the past two
months. The expansion in this re-
spect is not as rapid as some might
wish, but it is steady Each day sees
a greater volume of money in circula-

of internal trade, while the import and
export trade is likewise improving
Cuba is country of wonderful natur-
al resources. 1t is a country Which
can be developed into one G. ne

their state was deplorable. There

American capital is finding a great
field for investment in Cuba, and the
outlook for increasing the volume of
invested money there is bright.
There is no doubt that hundreds Of
thousands of dollars in this country
are now in waiting for guarantee of
safety. AS it stands now, capitalists
are in doubt as to the future DISPOSE
ton Of the island; they are therefore
holding back until some really per-
manent plan is in operation. All that
is desired by these people is that a
system of government shall be inaug-
urated which will permanently insure
the protection of life and property.
The establishment of a stable govern
ment will be followed by the influx
of an enormous amount of foreign cap
