Living in Yucatan
Has Strange Effect

a residence of FIVE years In Yuca-
tan will make an American look like
Mexican and dress like one. That
is the impression one gets In looking
ut many OF the passengers who troop
down the gnngwny from the steamers
arriving from Mexico.
This IL true to greater extent in
the case of women than OF men. The
climate OF Yucatan seems to take the
color from their checks and to replace
Il with very light shade OF copper.
They chatter Spanish as If 1t were
their mother tongue. but 1t is their
dress. or rather the manner in which
they wear It, that has the real look
of the middle class Mexican.
A Mexican woman, II young. has
an attractive air from the top OF her
head to her waist. Below the waist
she looks sloppy. The skirt is too

The remnant OF remarkable and

OF Hudson Bay. II is said that until

middle is an elevation, on which is n
stone lamp used for lighting. heating.

clothes. The lamp is only n dish OF
whale oil. in which Is n wick of dry
moss. Indeed, the whale Is the chief
means by which these people live. the
bones being utilized for making
plates. cups and sledges. but they also
use sledges Of walrus tusks. with deer
antlers for cross pieces. The tribe is
almost extinct, as only some sixteen
are left. They speak dialect pc.

Niuht Maneuvers.

Owing to the state of perfection to
which firearms have been brought,
and the universal use of smokeless
gunpowder, the German military ex-
perts are mostly of opinion that the
great wars of the future will be fought
entirely at night, as only under cover
of darkness will 1t be possible to get
to close quarters with the enemy. Con.
sequently in the German army the
maneuvers now take place almost en-.
tirely at night. The captive balloons
play very important part on these
occasions, for in the cage of each
balloon is powerful searchlight
which sweeps the country for miles
around, and makes the enemy visible
at distance of four miles, while the
occupants of the balloon are in tele-
graphic communication with their
army. and keep them advised as to the
movements of the enemy.

LESSON OF tn. soeR WAR.
Financial Newspaper Explains Why
Such a Vast Sum Was Spent,

In England finnnclers are figuring
up the cost OF the South African war
In money alone. These calculations
are more trustworthy than those
which were made whiic the war was
in progress. even in It's closest stages.
for these were more or less affected
by partisanship. After surveying the
field of expenditures very carefully
the Statist comes to the conclusion
that Great Britain spent upon the war
230.000,000 pounds ts1.150. 900. .00O).
This sum. the Statist says. "is consld.
erably more than the vast war indcm.
nifty which Germany exacted from
France thirty years ago" The moral
the Statist sees in these figures is tha.
the ''unpreparedness" of Great Brit

small South African republics cost
her far more than the most elaborate
