Hard Times in Cuba.

The Waterbury (Conn) American says that Charles Pyke, formerly of Water bury, who Is now in Matanzas, Cuba, con- ducting an orphanage, has written home a rather pitiful story of the poverty of the people over there. Another retired minister, whom he found there in charge of C school for girls, has lived for years past on from $5 to S1o a month. He thinks reciprocity may help things and makes this comment on the situation:
 Goods brought from England or France can be bought cheaper than goods from the 9tates-and I, costs less to send a box or barrel to England than to New York 1 wanted to send few ooxes of oranges to friends in Waterbury, but the freight from here to New York was much more than they would cost in New York. I could purchase oranges for 50 cents per 1G0. bananas for 15 cents a bunch. I wantel to send a box of cigars to my friend, Judge Cowell. through the mail--but. oh tn .3uty must be paid here. So with even a box of rare plants for my friend, c Tracy. But when your Government gives IS reciprocity it Vlll be different. These things I wanted to send were for presents, not for sale. but that made no difference. Again, if any parcel or package came to me through the mail, it would be opened here and duty collected before delivery.".

An Interesting Book.

"The Winning of Serenne." by St. Clair Beall. with illustrations by Louis F. Grant, The Federal Book Company, New York City. Cloth. $1.25. The scene of this story is in one of the old cities of Europe and the time is the latter part of the sixteenth century. There are two claimants for the dukedom of the city of Serenne. and there is much plotting and fighting and many intensely dra- matic scenes. Incidently there is a charming little love story interwoven in the main story which is of absorbing interest. There are no dull chapters, and those who read the book will not regret having done so.

WHY STAY PALE.

A pity to see pale girls stay pale and dull when it is so easy to get Scott's Emulsion.
 One of the best things Scott's Emulsion does is to give rich blood to pale girls. g
 The result of regular doses of Scott's Emulsion is an in- crease not only in the red color of the blood and in the appetite but in the good looks and bright manners which are the real charm of per- feet health.

Druestores old and New.

Sometimes it seems as if drugstores
have everything except drugs. The
middle aged man OF woman remembers
when the apothecary shop had a dis.
tinctiye smell of drugs and chemicals.
Nothing was In sight but jars Of WON
drously colored liquids and powders,
crystals and sticks and drawers of GU
rious things with Latin labels. The
only thing that was at all attractive
for the women was the case Of fancy
soaps and perfumes, with face powders
and cosmetics, and for the men the case
of cigars. The soda fountain made the
first innovation. It was no such preten-
tious affair as now dominates the cor
ner drugstore. however. 1t stood mod
estly on one end of the counter. There
were five or six kinds of sirups and no
ice cream or hot drinks. Later candy
found place In the apothecary's, then
came stationery, and now there are all
sorts Of bric-a-brac.-New York Press.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Fowls will not thrive with close pen
ming or crowding.
About one foot of space on the roost
should be allowed for each adult fowl.
A handsome appearance is worth 1 or
2 cents pound ON poultry in selling.
Calcareous matter for shells and
gravel to aid trituration in the gizzard
are indispensable.
Ground or crushed bone is SO valua-
BILE for their health that it should al
ways be kept before them.
The morning meal may be made more
palatable and stimulating by adding
cut onions with salt and pepper.
Csrelessness in the little details nee
essary to good management will soon
show In the condition of the fowls.
Clean, pleasant and suitable quarters,
with wholesome, nutritious food, have
much to do in determining the favor
and quality of both the eggs and the
flesh of fowls.
A good way to tell fresh egg is by
the air bubble in the large end. The
smaller the air bubble the fresher the
egg. A fresh egg must be examined
closely to see the air bubble

VALPARAISO AMUSEMENT.

Sunday Is the Great Gala Day For
Rich and Poor Alike.
All around the edge of Valparaiso
bay is a string of little towns so close
together that you cannot readily dis
next begins. The most pretentious of
these is Vina del Mar, which is a very
popular seaside resort. During the
summer season; from December to
February, it is a gay place. A short
distance from the town Is the "cancha. -
or race track, in connection with!which
are golf links, cricket and polo
grounds, all managed by the English
sporting clubs. The polo matches and
the races are over by the 1st of Decem-
Der, but cricket, golf and tennis go on
all summer. Tennis tournaments are
held, lasting for several weeks. Most
of these sports, with the exception Of
take place on Sunday. Sunday is the
great gala day, when all the popula-
ton, rich and poor alike, turn out to
have good time
The common people find their holl-
day sport in getting gloriously drunk
If you walk along the street on Sun
day afternoon, you must not be sur
prised to meet every few minutes in
dividuals decidedly unsteady on their
feet. The little wineshops do a rush
ing business, and there is always a
large crowd about the door watching
and loudly applauding the dancing Of
the "cueca," which goes on all day,
This is a sort Of national dance, per-
formed to the accompaniment of the
guitar. The dance is quaint and rath-
er pretty if the dancers are sober. but
in it's ordinary environment it is far
from inviting.
During q good season at Vina del
Mar one has an excellent opportunity
of seeing the aristocratlc Chileans of
Santiago. In January Santiago is very
warm, and the society people come
down to the coast during the hot
weather. The ladies are many of
them quite handsome. They all dress
gorgeously and have very bad man
ners. They stroll along the hotel piaz-
"a, and If they see anything that
arouses their curiosity in any of the
rooms they stop and look on serenely,
regardless of the occupant. They
never make their appearance until 10
or II o'clock in the morning. when
they go down to the beach for a morn
ing dip. After the II o'clock break
fast they disappear until 4 o'clock,
when they all come out in gowns that
would rival Solomon in all his glory.
They either drive on the beach and
trail their skirts and embroidered chif-
fons through the sand or stroll up and
down the long platform of the railroad
station, watching the trains pass.
These exciting diversions occupy them
until dinner. Sometimes there are
dances in the evening-dances called so
only by courtesy, for they rarely
dance; they only walk around and ex-
hibit their gowns.-Indianapoli News

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The average life Of raspberry planta-

With grapes the rule should be to dig

For roofing the best cutting of

fore 1t grows woody or at all fibrous.
Trees about the house make it more

ing it from the cold winds Of winter
and the hot suns of summer.
Cut the young trees back when plac-
ing them In the ground and also trim
off some Of the roots, especially those
that are bruised or broken in any way.
Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds
Of exhausted soil. The trees will make
growth Of leaves and wood on poor
land. but they require mineral manure
to perfect the fruit.
In most cases when planting shade
trees the hardness of the trees should
be given preference over rapid growth.
1t is of no advantage to secure shade
