Spanish rule in Italy and the Dutch
countries were repeated in Cuba with
increased zest and enlarged systems of
oppression and cruelty. The aborigines
being practically exterminated, the
same cruel treatment was visited on
the Spanish colonlsts themselves and
upon the negroes who had been import
ed as slaves. In the course Of 200 years
the population was again reduced until
only about $4,000 persons remained.
Practically prisoners OF war, the
Cubans had little knowledge of the
outside world, except that gained from
the pirates who continually plundered
Cuba and the neighboring islands. max

The Turning Point.
The capture of Havana by the Eng
Iish and their eleven months rule was
undoubtedly an important point in the
life Of Cuba. During the short period
of English government the Cuban ports
were opened to foreign trade, and for
the first time the people realized the
extent of their resources. and the mer-
CHESS manner in which they had been
| robbed of their earnings.
But the era OF prosperity was short.
| as the English soon turned the island
over to Spain and the old system Of
persecution was resumed However,
the Cubans had brcathed the air OF
comparative freedom, and they saw the
possibilities OF the island under hon
est government. InsuIled with a new
born ambition for freedom, the Cubans
carried on secret arrangements for a
general uprising. and the fifty years
| following the few months OF English
| occupancy witnessed a succession Of
revolutions. Thes came the Ten Years

one Besides that, it has never been printed; so it will be in place here There is in New York an organization of wo men composed of writers and ladies con nected with the stage called the Twelfth Night Club. It is noted among other things for the harmony and corps spirit of it's members. They staIfd by one an- other as women should and will always when they know enough to do 60. A warm friendship of years has existed be- tween two of the Twelfth Nighters-A; ice Fischer, actress, and Grace Living ston Furniss, author and playwright. Both have a merry sense of humor. which makes the comradeship the more de- lightful.
 About \1S93 Miss Furniss. favorably known as q writer of short stories, con- cuded that playwritinS offered a fine field for women. and she accordingly de- voted herself to it.
 Write a play for me- said Miss Fis' cher and she kept urging it year after year. Miss Furniss had the matter m mind, but no central idea presented it. self to work on till one day Miss Fischer came into the Twelfth Night Club with a story. lady-an dCquaintance-had received under her deceased husDand' will some unusual and embarrassing leg acies. The lady herself was refined woman, young and not experienced fin the worlds ways to the extent of know ing what to do with shares in baseball team, q race track and other sporting DO sessions. The unmarried superlntend- ent of Young Women's Christian As sociation nome would have been no more nonplussed by such legacies than was Miss Fischer's widowed acquaintance. The actress herself was so amused by the incident that she began telling it to the Twelfth Nightars as an uproarious joke Miss Furniss heard the story and sud l. denly exclaimed:
 shut up, Alice Fischer! There's your play"
 Miss Furniss had found her central idea around which to build. That was last spring. Tn two months the play was ready. Miss Furniss herself said of 1t. ''I think the public will like it, but the critics will dance all over it and me" But even she was surprised at the phs- nomenal success of Mrs. Jack.' It was written around the character of Alice Fischer. the tall, merry Indiana actress. the most unconventional of wo- men That is one secret of its success.
 Alice Fischer is Mrs. Jack and Mrs. Jack is Alice Fischer" says Miss Fur miss.
 Contrary to Miss Furniss' predictions. many of the critics praised the play en- thusiaeticaly becauro of Its very uncon- ventionalitv and originality. Others of the cut and dried cast of mind criticised their little hest--or worst

The death of Mrs. Padgett recalls ono of the first tragedies of the war between
 the States. A New York regiment. tn-
 cluding the Ellsworth Zouaves, had just reached Alexandria on their way to the front, when the flag incident and thc deaths of both Ellsworth and Jackson occurred. The scene of the tragedy was the Marshall House, hotel at the CO., ner of King and Pitt Streets, kept by Jackson. He was an ardent secessionis- and Confederate. and promptly upon the secession of Virginia. hoisted upon the top of the Marshall House the Stars and Bars of the young Confectionery. It is said that in his ardor he registered solemn VOW that he would protect that flag with hIs life, and would kill any man who attempted to haul 1t down.
 Early in the movement of troops South ward Ellsworth and his New York Zou- ayes entered Alexandria about daylight one morning in April, 1861. Seeing the Confederate flag floating defiantly from the summit of the Marshall House, Els worth, fired with martial zeal. determined that 1t should come down from the cu- pola. He quietly informed his men that he was going to haul 1t down. and. ac- companied by a sergeant, he ascended to the cupola and tore down the flag. wrapping it around him. Jackson and his family were asleep at the ume, but as the Zouaves descended the noise awakened Mrs. Jackson. who hurriedly aroused her husband. Seeing Ellsworth descending with the flag, Jackson imme- diately carried out his VOW and shot Ellsworth dead. The sergeant who was with the officer thereupon shot Jackson. The tragedy created great excitement, and the city was immediately placed un- der martial law. This was. perhaps. the first officer killed in the war.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is
 in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier in nature. but few real ize It's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; it is not dru 1t all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating on ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the comple xion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and emineutIy safe cathartic.
 It absor bs the injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin- fleets the mouth and throat from the poi son of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of the loZenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the genral health. better complexion, swert- CT breath and purer blood. and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the con trary. great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says; "I advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat; l also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense patent preparation. yet l believe get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lczenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

Style in Shoulders.

Did you know the style in shoulders is changing? Yes, it does change, just as much as the style in skirts or sleeves. The old notion that you were born in a certain manner and had to stay so is pretty well exploded. You really can make wonderful difference fin your ap- pearsnce. So I suppose that on all sides we shall see sloping shoulders, such as are to be seen in the paintings of Sir Joshua Reynolds. This is the type which goes with the picture hat and the graceful fichu. In a way 1t further emphasizes tn, downfall of the athletic girl.
 There are many little novelties in the shops at present-for instance, the new articles ndGe of pompic, the material of which Is copper with silver mountings, and the contrast between the two colors makes a deci1edly effective result. For umbrella handles and bag mountings, as well as for buckles and other ornaments pompic is particularly suitable, and it makes also stunning desk trimmings, par ticularly when placed on the greenish wood now So much the fad.

It is very easy indeed for the doctor to order patients a change of scene and cli- mate. Such an order is very easily given and is often a very appropriate remedy.
 Indeed 1t would be a good thing if all people suffering from nervousness could travel and recuperate their nerves by change of climate and scene, but not one case in five hundred can do this. Most people are tied at home by duties or possibly cannot afford to make the desired change.
 It is very easy, therefore. for the doctor to order this change, but sometimes very difficult or even impossible for the pa tient to carry it out.
