which neither instinct nor expert

world Is blotted out. so the woman
calls the mao Adam and he calls her
Robin. The arrival Of the Pacific
ocean has warmed up the climate Of
Pixies Peak so that three crops OF
strawberries ripen On the slopes every
year. The man and woman find a
miners cabin. furnished with the
necessary furniture and sucked with
a few groceries and books. There are
cows. horses and chickens on the

is an orator and has plans OF making
the world better by making speeches

The woman is grand-opera first

brutal husband and in love with the
orator. After the shock OF watching
the world drown. she is glad Of their
isolation. 1t is a good riddance SO
far as the husband is concerned. She

would require seven years to consume
their first harvest. To plant and
harvest an acre OF corn and an acre of

busy. The toilsome life OF farmer
who plants to sell rather than to
consume might therefore be allevi-
ated by change OF system. 'Hertzka

La Lucha.
A Cuban-American paper, printed
in Havana, it looks more like a French
newspaper than like one printed on
this side of the Atlantic. The pa.
per on which it is printed is very
coarse and greenish white. It has
two title pages, both heavily loaded.
The type is large and plain, l think
hand-set. The outside title page is
set in English, the remaining five
pages in Spanish. The third page is
also title-page but the scanty tele-
graphic news in English does not
seem to be duplicated in Spanish.
The eight columns are wider by two
ems than the ordinary thirteen EN-
columns, and the column itself is
twenty-seven inches long. La Lucha
is therefore both wider and longer
than the ordinary American news
paper.
1t is a prosperous paper. OF the
six pages three are covered with small
advertisements. The Cuban women
are not particularly interested in

little. 1t is proposed to raise the SAL
