The hustling Chicago drummer
stands chance of going crazy if
sent to do business with Cuban
merchants. A salesman who has
been on visit to that island says:
elf you reach Havana on Satur-
day of course you call immediate
Ely on the merchants with whom
you expect to deal. The first
thing asked you is when you ex
pect to go away. The ship, you
will say, goes on Tuesday morn
ing and you hope to get through
and take it. That settles it. You
cannot do business with one of
them. You must wait for late,
boat or do nothing. The moment
you begin to hurry them they
suspect you and hold aloof."

QUEER NEW ORLEANS.
A Lack of Unity of Ideas in Building
Up the City.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
DO you suppose there ever was a city
that in certain particulars was so absolutely
unlike anything else as. Is New Orleans?
asked the sixth district man of his friend
beside him In the street car. Il am not
referring TO the -pecidiarities of the French
quarter: they are distinct and pretty much

produced by the lack ofSui}ity of purpose or
ideas that has prevailed IN the building up

part OF the city. The system of New Or

alike but all, however much Unlike each

liarity of not fookng like anything you See

of New Orleans residence neighborhoods is
the large amount of unimproyed and unoC-
oupied space surrounding many residences
The unpaved streets of many uptown neigh
borhoods, the grassy sidewalks the Illogical

deal. There IS so little of the traditional

Snow Scarce in Colorado.
From the Denver Republican. -.

The memory Of the oldest inhabttant OF
Boulder county does not recall time when
the snow on the mountains was as scarce
as 1t is now. At. the headwaters Of the
various branches of Boulder creek. hereto
fore large beds of snow have lasted all sum
mer, but this year they have dwlndIed into
small ones. and where there are usually
small beds by the hundreds in, the latter
part of August. there IS now no snow at all
Immense basins are found at Jasper lake
Arapahoe pass. Arapahoe peak Mount All
dubon Longs peak and intervening points
These basins rise at such an angle that the
melting OF the snow is gradual At the foot
of these basins are lakes of various sizes.
and In these the creeks virtually take their
rise. There are in Boulder county many OF
these lakes in usual seasons. fed by hun
dreds of small streams but now the small
streams are not running. because the snow
banks have disappeared, and the conse-
quence Is many Of the lakes have disap-
peared. The glacier In the armchair" or
Arapahoe peak. is much smaller than it has
been as far as any one knows.

THE GHETTO WIG.
Unabashed Caps Of Hair and Their
Significance.

From the New York Tribune. ..- -.
In the human tide that Gibbs and flows
around Hester and Ludlow and Essex and
:Rivington streets every third woman wears
a wig. There is no artifice. no vulgar striv-
ing after deception or beauty about these
wigs. They are fraEk,3 bald, unabashed
caps Of hair. stuck on the head as uncon-
cernedIy as a sailor hat.sand worn as nom
chaIantly. Nowhere, but on the heads Of
Ghetto women are they seen, these unique

come from? Who makes them? Why; OH
why does the Jewess u isfgure herself thus?

In the matter Of garden improvements
many yards are so far below what the
mind instinctively looks for in the inter-
spaces of houses that one begins to feel
that dearth of beauty or characterization is
almost u characteristic of neighberhoods
that are on the verge of being attractive.
