SAFES.
Advertise Their Own Merits in
South America.
Chicago Journal.

Chicago Journal.
When the steamship Para sailed for Bra
zil the other day a great part of her cargo
was American safes.
Two months ago a shipment of this kind
would have been considered ridiculous.
Safes from other countries always have
had the call in Brazil, and the sale of
American safes has been very small. 1t
might be so yet, but for a fire which de-
stroyed the warehouses and office of Frank
da Costa x Co, in January.
The firm had forty-threer tons of rubber
in the building in which the offices were.
When the building fell this mass of burn
ing rubber fell upon six safes. Everybody
said the great weight, as well as the ter
rife heat, would destroy the safes wholly.
Luckily for American safe manufacture
ers, one member of the firm is al Ameri-
can. and he had purchased two safes in
this country. With these were one English,
one German, one French and one Portu-
guese safe. They fell the same distance
and were subjected to the same hard test.
When the fire was eXtinguished the POr-
tuguese safe was awreck. 1t fell to pieces
when struck with a hammer. The French
and German safes were little better, their
contents also being totally destroyed. Quot
ing from the report OF h. X. kenneday,
The English safe contained. in addition
TO valuable books and papers, 200 contos in
Brazilian currency, equivalent to about
$1,000. This safe was opened only after
the greatest difficulty, and the money was
found in an almost u"nrecogniZable. charred
and pulpy mass. and the remaining con-
tents were a total loss. There is little hope
of recovering anything OF the money thus
damaged by fire and water.
When the American safes were opened.
their contents were found perfectly intact
money. books and papers being little. IL
any, the worse for the ordeal through
which they had passed
Frank da Costa & Co. Immediately or
dered eight American safes. and the story
of the wonderful manner I'm which they
wfthstood fire being spread. the business
men will have no others now. Heretofore
the English safes have been considered
best. American safes ranking with the
Portuguese. below those OF French and

Birth of seIf-Consciousness.

Clara Z. Laughlin, in Scribner's Magazine.
One day 1 walked to school with a girl
a lovely, pink-cheeked, blue-eyed, faxen-
haired. d~oll-featursd girl, two years older
than I-who got mad at me. sad to relate,
and by way of offensive Cor was IL defen-
sive0 warfare, asked me how it felt to be
as ugly as was.
had never thought much about my
looks-nothing, in fact, except to regret
that my hair was not yellow and my eyes
blue. In my favorite novels all the lovely
heroines had hair like spun gold" and
"eyes like purple ~violets." and the mean
women who worked all the mischief were
invariably brunette. L was sorry to be
brunette, but / did not mean to let it divert
me into a career of villainy. 1 aspired to
be a heroine, and somehow, vaguely, trust
ingly, 1 had an underlined hope that perhaps
my hair would turn gold some day, and my
eyes grow violet-blue.
The thrust of the faxen girl was almost
mortal. After a miserable day at school
I hurried home and sat me down before
nv mirror for a minute recapitulation. The
result came near being tragedy. i r~ecollect
that one item of the result was that in my
zeal to overcome fortunes niggardly treat
ment of me in the matter of beauty l dis
carded mere soap in favor of one of the
gritty. securing compounds for face wash
ing purposes, with consequences that were
hard to bear until the skin grew on again.

then and raised a miraculously heavy crop
of pimples. l went without the necessaries
of school girl life TO buy a tooth powder
that mo lady should be without" and /
regularly helped out" my eyebrows with
the burnt end of a match. A girl told me
that arsenic was good for the complexion,
but somehow / mistrusted it; also the ad-
vice of another girl who said belladonna
would make your eyes bigger" If these
suggestions had come to me earlier I would
in all probability have tried them, but by
the time they were offered me my faith
in the reconstructive powers Of cosmetics
had grown faint and / had fallen back into
a sort of happy notion that when | was
bigger | should be better looking, and that
any way fine feathers had a deal TO do with
helping on the appearance of a bird-or a
duchess.

How American Beauties Are Packed
for Ocean Travel.
Leslie's Weekly.

Leslie's Weekly.
Twenty-Five million dollars are spent an
nually in the city of New York for flowers.
That is an average of nearly 81. OOO. 900 a
month, and it is this enormous expenditure
of money for a commodity which is purely
a luxury that makes New York the great
est flower center of the world.
There is another evidence that the
metropolis of the United States is the
worlds chief flower city. We have begun
exporting flowers. The chief exports at
present are the American Beauty roses,
of which a large quantity is shipped TO
England TO be sold in London For those
who are not familiar with all the ms and
outs of the business of raising and selling
flowers it will be interesting to know how /
pack the American Beauties which send
TO London. The grand old flowers receive
as much care as a mother would give to
her sick child.
The Beauties are put into long boxes.
Their glorious heads are wrapped first in
a covering Of oil paper. This is TO prevent
their losing their moisture. Then comes a
coat of tissue paper, which acts something
like a cushion to keep the dainty petals
from being bruised, and last of all is the
covering of tin foil. But the most careful
part Of the packing is at the other end of
the stem, where IL has been cut from the
parent plant.
The stem of each flower is thrust into a
long, narrow bottle, so slender that il is
practically a tube, and is about the size of
a mans middle finger. At the top end of
the bottle is a small rubber cap, which fits
closely around the stem of the flower, so
that when the bottle is filled with water
none of it will escape through the rubber
cap. Each stem has a bottle of its own to
keep it refreshed during its ocean Journey:
and when the flowers lie in their box there
is a cluster Of long, slender bottles at the
foot of the box, and a cluster of heads
wrapped in tin foil at the top of the box,
and the roses are ready for their voyage.
When they reach the other side they are
as fresh as when they embarked from their
native shore, although, of course, a part
of their lease of life is gone.

A JUST PENALTY.
Postal Criminals Sinned Against
Both Cuba and America.
Boston Journal.

which we have welded is transferred TO u
new native government, the trial should
De hnlshed n sentence pronounced upon
the three American officials. faithless
among many faithful, who robbed the pos
tai revenues of the island under cover OF
the stars and stripes.
Rathbone, Reeves and Nicely all receive
ten years Imprisonment, besides very
heavy fines. The penalty is severe, but il
is not excessive. These three men violated
a great public trust They despoiled the
wards of the American Nation. They were
sent 10 Cuba to serve as examples of the
integrity and efficiency of the American
government. They were given extraordi-
nary power. They represented their coun-
betrayed the United States; they betrayed
Cuba. Their crime was a most grave one.
and most grave should be their punish
ment.
1t is fitting, moreover. that these I'M
faithful American officers should be tried
by the courts of the island in which their
crimes were committed. They sinned
against both Cuba and America, but their
offense against Cuba was most immediate
and direct, and their condemnation by the
Cuban courts is the most complete atone
ment which could be offered to the Cuban
people.
But, to the honor of the United States,
1t can be remembered that Rathbone,
Nicely and Reeves are the rare, the very
rare, exceptions and not the rule. Our
cuban Administration, as a whole, both by
the army and by the civil officers of the
division of insular affairs, has been up
right as well as energetic and effective.
Against the thievery of these three men
can be set the fact that yellow fever, that
terrible Cuban plague, has been banished
forever from the island. All but a very few
of our hundreds of American representa-
tlves in Cuba have been men of blameless
lives. well worthy of representing their
government and noble examples to their
Cuban successors into whose hands we are
now surrendering our great trust.

Pittsburg ChrOnicle-Telegraph
Congressional hearings on pure-food legis-
lation continue TO bring out testimony of
deep interest TO the consumer. The evil
dence relating to coffee was very sugges-
tive. Coffee is the national beverage, and
the coffee drinker ought to have what he
asks for and is willing TO pay for. IL is
somewhat annoying, however. 20 the coffee
drinker TO learn that America consumes
more lava and Mocha than the producers
can raise. The deficiency is made good
with other grades. But this is not the
worst thing in connection with the sophis-
tication of coffee. Some OF the goods put
on the market as coffee never grew on a
coffee tree. DR.. Wiley. OF the Department
of Agriculture. says that there are imita-
tons made almost entirely from cereals
and molasses. Now. these may be whole
some enough, but they are not what the
coffee drinker pays coffee prices for. DR..
Wiley adds that one INSCRIPTIONS concern
has manufactured a coffee berry from peas
and sawdust. This comes near to infring-
ing the patent Of the wOoden-nutmeg pro-
Queer of whom we have heard. The saw
dust coffee berry cannot be recommended
as an article of diet. and the coffee drinker
has abundant reason TO object TO il. II
the bill before Congress can give us pure
food by all means let il become a law.

FRANCHISE Is DISCUSSED
COUNCIL COMMITTEE. HOWEVER,
DOES NOT TAKE FINAL ACTION.
An Improved VENUE Connecting the
City and B~rfghtwOOd Is Now
Under consideration.

The Indianapolis Southern franchise was
taken up for discussion last night by the
Council committee on contracts and fran
chises. but the absence OF several mem
bers prevented final action. Another meet
ing will be held by the committee to-mor-
row night IN the Office Of the city clerk,
at which II is expected the ordinance will
be recommended for passage.
T.. H. Hazelrigg. engineer Of the South
ern Company. was present at the meet
ing and answered a number Of questions.
Chairman Negley read sections OF the ordi-
nance relating 10 the route. Councilman
Sourbier asked the engineer IL il would
not be feasible for the Southern to run it's
trains into the city across Merrill, McCar-
~. Ray and other streets on the South
Side over "A single track instead of over
double tracks. Mr.. Hazelrigg replied that
there existed no reason for doing so be-
cause experience has shown little more dan
ger exists for pedestrians in crossing two
tracks paraIleling each other than in cross
ing one. Mr.. Negley dismissed the point
with the remark that it was an engineer
ing question and had been settled by the
Board OF Works and the city engineer.
other sections were discussed without re-
suit.
ANOTHER COMMITTEE.
The committee on sewers, streets and al
leys, which also met last night. was unable
TO reach a decision on the ordinance pro-
viding that an improved avenue for the
benefit Of BrightwoOdu citizens shall be con-
structed from the intersection Of Lewis
street and Massachusetts, avenue To Bright

.unimpTOved streets along the route. The
ordinance is the most important measure
that has come before the dur
ing thu present Council, and Brightwood'
people are anxious that early action be
taken ON it. Attending the meeting last
night were a number Of citizens of the
suburb.
Mr.. Negley. who introduced the ordinance,
stated to the m last night that the
proposed avenue is an absolute necessity
for BrightwOOd. on account of the poor
streets, most Of them short and crooked.
real estate In the suburb is not as valu-
able as IL should be. All Of them, he said.

and improved with good sidewalks il will
be a real luxury TO BrightwoOd citizens.
The route proposed, he said, will give street

new avenue Is Roosevelt avenue That
title Will be adopted by Council I'm all

BRITISH MILITARY CAMP.
Such Is Governor Heard's View of the
Mule Shipping Station in Louisiana.

NEW ORLEANS, April 2.-Governor
Heard, of Louisiana, has reported to the
State Department at. Washington that, in
his opinion, the British government is
maintaining a military camp within the
territory of the United States. The camp
i'm question is the one located a few miles
below this city for the transshipment of
horses and mules to South Africa, there to
be used by British soldiers in the war
against the Beers.
Several weeks ago General Pierson, the
Boer leader, visited this city and held a
conference with the Louisiana state Off
Gals. He created no little omment by his
public declaration that he was ready to
lead a force Of armed men to attack the
camp. He was denied permission 10 do
this.
Several months ago a British steamer
was badly damaged by an explosion while
it was being loaded Sith supplies for the
British army I'm South Africa. 1t was de-
clared in many quarters at the time that
the explosion was the work of Boer SYM
pathizers, but the matter was never inves-
tigated.
