It is likely to prove true that good
many Cubans have eyes on places "a
the diplomatic and consular service.
When the Cuban constitutional conve1l-
ton was in session and the Plat
amendment had not gerr1irlated, 9
report was spread that the United
States meant to take charge of Cubas
foreign relations, and that it world not
be necessary for the island to MAINTAIN
diplomatic or consular service. This
would have been such a complete
denial of sovereignty that no Cuban
convention ever would have accepted ii
The suggestion caused much bitterness
but in this bitterness was mingled a
personal element of resentment from
those who were thinking ahead fol
themselves, and wanted to be dignifled
as ministers and consuls. This is a
gehteel kind of public service which

In no branch of the future republic
lis the meaning of the coming change
so clear as in the foreign relations
that Cuba will have to establish. This
is one branch in which there is not
much of a going concern to take
over, because in the nature of the mi
litary occupation there could not be a
department of foreign relations. In
Gen Woods cabinet there has been a
secretary of state and government, but
the duties of this place have related
chiefly to internal administration, and
have been like those performed by 81
rnilar officials in the states ol the amer
lean Union. The dealings which the
foreign consuls had with this depart-
ment were through the military author

No woman can have too many of the dainty little lace additions to dress. A square of embroidered net edged with tambour lace can be formed into a ia bot and give a dainty finish td a short open coat. A rather novel fichu is of ecru net. embroidered. and is draped and edged with couple of frills Of lace with cascade down the front. An other bit of finery for tie neck is made of embroidered lace fastened at the side with couple of choux. Pretty little stole ties are made of embroidered lawn or lace.

Ornaments For the Low Couture.
 Very large and beautifully jeweled pins and combs are used to give the twists of the low cultures a na;Crai appearance Of passing through them, and an empire wreath of flowers or of Jewels made up to initiate flowers is used to surround the knot of hair on .he neck, sometimes finished of with loops of velvet or few dropping flow CTS There is likeiy-to be great dis play of tiaras, so many having been reset and done up in view of the coro- nation festivities. These ornaments are far more graceful and less massive looking than formerly, many of them taking the form of flowers and delicate wreaths of foliage. Those who do not own tiaras adopt wreaths and sprays of flowers ,.l diamonds, which conduce to a lighter style Of hairdressing. Stiff bows of pearls or diamonds are also being introduced again. the hair being built up into the quaint style of the restoration period.

scalp away the bark. So it is with
the needless worries of mankind. They
dig straight to the core of the most
exubertant vitality when persisted in.
A mother "fusses' once for fear her
boy will not be in at dark. That will
not shape wrinkle in her brow. But
that habit formed, and carried over in
to daily counsel of thousand name
less fears, will raise network of wrin-
kles and wear the nerves to ribbons.
l knew of young woman who
could never drive in summer time un-
less pair of green goggles protected
her eyes, veil on her face, shawl

and whole arsenal ol protective agen-
cies loaded into the vehicle. That
young woman on account of her silly
"fussing," doubtless will be older at
thirty than she should be at forty. Or
take the "fussy" traveller. He exhausts
himself and every one else in the final
stages of the journey, and arrives at
home more of wreck than when he

Now consider the whole ensemble
of the worry chorus, the "fussing"
chorus, in its effects upon life. 1t
yields crop of irritants more baneful
in undermining the constitution than
myriad other causes for which the
doctor gravely precribes medicine in

Almanacs," says Mr.. Kuhns, "certain
days were marked as lucky and un-
lucky; any one born on an unlucky
day was doomed to poverty; engage
ments or marriages contracted then
were sure to be failures, and the wise
man would begin then no legal or
other kinds of business" The Gus
tom of blood-letting, so prevalent
throughout Europe in medieval times,
was strong in its hold over these peo-
pie century ago. None was permit
ted on Ascension Day, but we read in
the journal of Christopher Marshall,
under date of 10Th May, 1880, at Lam
caster: "This was remarkable day
for the German men and women, bleed
ing at DR.. Christly NeH's. So many
came that l presume he must work
hard to bleed the whole. Strange in
fatuation." Cereals planted during
the waxing of the moon grew faster
than thosc planted during the waning,
and if given to the ground while the
moon was in the sign of the Twins
would he most fruitful. Onions must
be planted when the moons horns
were down, potatoes when they were
up. To prevent rot apples must be
plucked in the dark Of the moon; hogs,
lest they sicken, slaughtered in its
waxing. In fact, the various phases
of the satellite, according to supersti-
tion, rs old as the "Fatherland," gov
erned even the thatching of house
and the building of a fence.
Omens were also frequent among
the Pennsylvania Dutch. There is one
of these families, the sons of which are
now in this city, in which old letters
and ancient tradition attach to the ar
pearancc of a white bird as deadly a
significance as did the adventurer in
"Amyas Leigh" Common among the
dutch" were the beliefs .hat a bird
entering the room, dream of black
apparel, the breaking of looking
glass or even the vision of extracted
teeth all foretold death. Ore and water
were sought for in all the familiar oc-
cult ways. Witches were, it is true,
believed to be passing away from the
earth even while the learned New
Englanders were burning them at the
stake, yet human beings, cattle and
farm products were subject to evil in
fuences, to prohibit the entrance of
which it was necessary to nail horse
shoe or broomstick over the door. An
amulet would make the wearer rug

incantations and occult herb remedies
supplied the place of the often too
distant regular physician. The Bible
opened at random was certain guide
and still governs the councils of one
Pennsylvania religious sect in the
choosing of its bishops. In word,
the modern s'romantic" novelist could
find material and to spare in this one
side of the lives of these people. How
in his desperate quest he has failed to
find it must remain a puzzle for the
psychological critic unless he take
refuge in the thought that these writ
ers are unable to forsake the long too
well beaten paths.

to consider the product they consume
except in the light Of luxury? How
often does the smoker, solaced with
briar-wood or meerschaum or soothed
hy fragrant cigar, pause to reflect
upon the vast labor incident 10 the
cultivation of the weed? Yet the
growing and handling of the tobacco
plant furnishes employment for at
least half the agricultural population
OF Virginia, West Virginia, the Caro-
linas, Kentucky and Tennessee; while
its sale and manufacture constitute an
important factor in the commercial
end industrial interests of many Of the
larger cities of the central and south
ern states.
Louisville is the largest tobacco
mart in the world In the carly his
tory of the industry in the states the
city of New Orleans enjoyed this dis
tinction, hut with the breaking out OF
the civil war and the consequent clos
ing OF the Mississippi, which was at
the time the chief avenue Of transpor-
tation for the southern planter, the
trend of trade was naturally inclined
toward Louisville, city centrally To-
Gated, an important river point, and
the then largest tobacco market in the
West.
Previous to the war it was the Gus
tom of the growers of the weed
throughout the South and West to
ship their product down the river to
New Orleans either by steamboat or
upon rafts-the logs of which the lat
ter were constructed being also offered
for sale after having served their pur-
pose as a means of transportation.
Bnt with the suspension Of the river
traffic New Orleans was practically
closed to the shippers Of the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys, and Louisville,
with her superior advantages in the
way of accessibility and cpntrality OF
location, succeeded to the bulk of the
enormous tobacco trad,- "a trade which
she has ST, adfaslly held. in the face OF
all competition, from that day to this.

to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more
annoying, and the many symptoms OF

there is truth, and it is a wonder that

OLD "DUTCH" NOTIONS.

On recent Sunday the Philadel.
phia Press published symposium OF
local signs from various parts OF the
State. They made extremely interest
ing reading as survivals of more
primative area, but probably most
Philadelphians who read them were
amused for the time and had never
heard of the great body of supersti-
tions which they represented. Yet, as
was partially pointed out in a para
graph last summer, the Pennsylvania
Dutchman Of yesterday was thorough
believer in a wrli-formulated code
of these signs and omens. He did
nothing by halves, and once establish
ed, by however actually trivial a coin
cidence, his faith was slow to yield.
Thus on Sunday was cited from Lam
caster the case Of "Baer's Almanak. ="
This publication undertakes to pre-
dict for the entire coming year the sort
of weather which will prevail for every
day. Early in the last century, be-
fore it had gained its present populari-
ty, the mistake of a typographer, as
sisted by the carelessness of a proof
reader, permitted the Almanac to be
distributed with the prophecy of snow
for certain day in mid summer.
When the day came along there hap
pened to be severe hailstorm which
swept Lancaster county. Some OF the
hail was in such small fragments and
so little coagulascd as to bear GER
tain resemblance TO snow, and from
that time forward the majority of the
farmers in that district could not be
persuaded against the infallibility OF
"Baer's Almanak."
In the early days, however, the
Pennsylvania German depended al
most entirely upon agricultural signs
for determining the sort of weather
that was to affect his crops. Promi-
nently among these was the ancient
ground hog superstition, which was
then nearly everywherc-and is still
in some portions of the State-regard-
cd as a very serious matter. 1t is now
almost too widely known to require
repetition. II the ground hog emerg-
es ON the End of February and the day
is clear, so that he may see his shadow
he will 90 back to his winter quarters
for sunny End of February is certain
indication OF six more weeks Of cold
weather. Nearly as important was
the indication hy the corn last sum-
mer. If the cars burst, the winter
would he mild, but if they were plump
the season would he severe one.
Again, if guinea hens cried when snow
was on the ground, or if turkeys wen t
to the fields under similar conditions
there would he thaw.
These and many more superstitions
of this class has been noted by Oscar
Kuhns in his book on "Thc German
and Swiss Settlements of Colonial
Pennsylvania" According to this
authority the signs of the heavens
were always noted and recorded at the
birth of a child, an old German Gus
tom, and We are told somewhere that
