Among the Arabs Of Upper Egypt the
youth who proposes to a girl must
submit to a whipping at the hands OF
her male relatives; and, says a nara
tor, "if he wishes to be considered
worth having, he must receive the
chastisement, which is sometimes ex-
ceedingly severe, with an expression
of enjoyment Notwithstanding, 1t is
the maiden herself who imposes the
test. The Sakalava girls of Madagas-
car make their lovers stand at a short
distance from a clever spear-thrower
and catch between the arm and side
every spear thrown at them. If the
youth displays fear or fails to catch
the spear, he is ignominiously rejected,
but If there oe no flinching and the
speans are caught he is at once pro-
claimed an accepted lover"

How Fast Can We Travel?

The announcement that a company
has beer formed in Germany to build
a system Of electric railways on which
1t is expected that passenger trains will
be run at a speed of from 100 to $50
miles an hour suggests the marvellous
possibilities of the immediate future in
the way of rapid transit. Even at the
rate of transit to be achieved under
the German system a remarkable
transformation will be effected in the
methods and customs Of civilized life.
With trains moving at the rate of $50
miles an hour, all the region about
New York within a radius extending
to Albany would be brought witlin
range of suburban residence. Boston
would be brought within less thai an
hour and a half of New York, Wash
ington with a little more than that
time, Buffalo less than three nolrs,
Chicago six hours. and San Fra ncisco
less than a day. What such marvellous
achievements in passenger transpbrta-
ton mean for the industrial and COM
mercial interests of the country can be
family imagined. When it becomes
possible, for example, for a New. York
man to make the round trip to Chicago
within t%wenty-four hours, and have a
considerable period of time for bust
ness included, it may be readily conjec-
tured that the commercial interests of
the country will be affected by the
change to a very large and serious de-
gree.-Leslie's Weekly.

A CUBAN PATRIOT
WHO MAY BE CUBA'S FIRST
PRESIDENT.
Gen. Thomnn Estrada Palma. Patriot,
Statesman and Scholar Has Lived
In tho United States for Many
Years.

In the little hamlet OF Central VAL
ley, among the rolling hills of Orange
county, N. Y, lives Gen. Thomas Es-
trada Palma. patriot, scholar and dip
lomat, and who it is not improbable
will be the first president of Cuba. He
Is a man of unusual intellectual at
tainments and looms up conspicuously
among the great men whom Cuba has
produced.
Gen. Palma vas born in Bayamo,
Cuba, and was educated at the Uni
versity of Seville, in Spain. On the
outbreak of the war of 1868 he re-
turned to Cuba to take part in it and
was elected president of the republic
which the patriots proclaimed. Unfor-
tunately he was captured and was con-
fined at first in gloomy MORO Castle,
but later was taken to Spain and in
generated in a castle in Catalonia,
near Barcelona. When peace was pro-
claimed Gen. Palma was releaced, but
as he refused to take an oath not to
bear arms against Spain he ives denied
the privilege of returning to Cuba. His
property was also coniscated and he
was reduced to penury. Later Gen.
Palma came to the United States and
opened an institute for boys in Central
Valley. where he continued teaching
until the last rebellion, when he be-
came the head of the Cuban junta and
removed to New York. AS the head
of the Junta it was his duty to raise
the sinews of war. Vast sums of
money passed through his hands and
though there was no n to whom be
should render an account not n cent
clung to his hands. He is as poor TO-
as before the war, and perhaps poorer.
With his business acumen and lin
guistic ability-Gen. Palma speaks five
languages-he could easily have ac-
cumulated wealth, but he has sacrificed
everything to his dear pearl of the
Antilles.
Recently Gen. Gomez visited him at
Contra Valley, when the future Of
Cuba was discussed. Gen. Palma mod
estly prefers that Gomez be selected as
the first president of free Cuba. and
with equal modesty the grizzled Gomez

The requirements of health can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
They are good air, good food, suitable
clothing, cleanliness and exercise and
rest. The first w requirements affect
the blood, and as the blood circulates
all over the body, including the brain,
every part is affected. Fresh air effects
the purity of the blood. The freshest
air is out of doors, and it is the duty
OF every one who wishes to be in good
health to spend a certain amount Of
time in the open air. Good food is not
necessarily expensive food. Exercise
and rest should alternate and balance
zach other. Women, as a rule. do not
rest sufficiently. Every woman should
try during the day to get a few min
utes rest, even if it interferes with her
regular work. 1t is impossible for her
to attend to the health and welfare Of
her family II her own health suffers
from overwork and lack of rest. She
should follow her husbands example.
Although he is busy all day long, he
generally makes it a hard and fast rule
to rest during the evening in the best
way, namely, by change of employ
ment.

that he had the power of transmitting
the baser metals into gold. His ads.

They set forth that he could switch
any old thing in the metal line into
gold that would be accepted at the
mint. Now, difficult as it is to believe,
this man of the monClithic nerve
promptly had more business than he
could begin to take care of. He
charged his customers very high fees,
and told them that the process re-
| quired several weeks in its operation.
He got their money in advance, and
then when he had accomplished a good

office door a most sardonic sign in
ridicule of his dupes.

INCREASE IN HOMESTEAD EN-
TRIES.

Commissioner General Hermann's
annual report, which has just been is
sued, shows that the amount of lands
disposed of Is homesteads exceeds all
figures for many years preceding. The
land ~disposals amounted to 1879, 1897
eresS6ra01 as against 9~,1s2,413 the
the previous year, the fncrease being
over 4.000,0 900 acres. There were near.
ly 10000 more homestead entries rec
orded last year than during the pre-.
vious year, and the homestead acreage
amounts to over 1000, 900 more acres
than for any one year since the pas.
sage of the homestead act in 1862.
Such a showing is remarkable, but
1t II likely to be more than eQualed
next year, al Commissioner Hermann's
report shows that there is still a vast
acreage open 10 settlement, exclusive
OF the governments insular posses
stons. Much of this unclaimed land
would have been deemed worthless a
few years ago, but the advance of ir-
'rfgation has made it valuable and there
is q consequent demand for it. Many
of the homesteads recorded last year
are located in the semi-arid region.
Such a showing should silence the
cry that all the available lands are
taken up and that there is no chance
for the settler nowadays. Evidently
there are plenty Of opportunities
awaiting the homesteader today, just
- there were when the land was
young. Facts are always stubborn
