Among the number a few are mentioned.
Poor Pierrot' This charming song is
from the opera 'sBabette,' written bv Vic

fascinating prima-donna, FRITZ Scheff.

cesses, has in this latest composition, writ
ten musical reveries which is one of the
best things he has ever accomplished, and
this is saying a great deal for its beauty

A lemon, says tobacconist, is far
better tobacco moistener than a
sponge. Take a lemon, slice piece off
each end and put it in your tobacco
box, if you want to keep your cigars
or smoking mixture in nice shape. A
good, juicy lemon will sometimes last
a couple of months as a moistener,
and it imparts to the tobacco an add.
ed fragrance. The beauty about the
lemon as a moistener is that it doesn't
mildew in the way a sponge does. The
latter, you know, when left water
soaked, rots and gives out an unpleas-
ant odor. Some people I've told about
the use of lemons as moisteners have
tried oranges as well, and assure me
that either fruit will answer. One OF
my customers keeps a lemon, orange
and piece of apple in his tobacco
jar, and he says. that the fruit keeps
the tobacco moist and soft and gives
it a delightful flavor. The lemon and
orange are, of course, sliced at each
end.-Philadelphia Record.

WRECK OF THE MAINE.
Relic Hunters Now Have Free Access
to the Remains Of the Historic
American Warship.

It has been rumored that the new
Maine is coming to Havana soon. The
wreck of the old one seems to be set
Ting deeper and deeper into the mud.
Long ago relic hunters stripped the
parts above water of everything NOV
able, writes Dorothy Stanhope from
Havana to the New York Times. The
sheet copper is now being taken, al
though this costs badly torn hands and
considerable patience. Still, one may
work without fear of being disturbed,
for there is now no guard over the
wreck. During the government of in
tervention the harbor police guarded
it.
There is very pretty customamong
United States warships, that come
here. Each on leaving, places wreath
of flowers on the mast of the sunken
vessel, not metal flowers, but real
ones, such as we use in our own coun-
try.
The Maine is not the only ship which
lies in the bottom of the harbor,
though it is the only one that met such
an unhappy end. Perhaps had better
say it is not the only one that has
lain beneath the water for the other
three were of wood, and 14o years have
probably destroyed them entirely. At
the time of the English invasion, 1862
the Spaniards attempted to close the
harbor by sinking three of their best
ships at the mouth. When the city
surrendered the English ships sailed
in over these without any trouble.

!. THE ALIENS FAREWELL.

II I should die, Love. here tonight,
An alien, under unknown skies,
It would not be the heathen's cries
That press the anguish on my sight,
Or any doubt in Him who gave
The faith that made the human soul;
But somehow, ere the 6eeps unroll,
want your hand to make me brave.
One parting more! Not all the past
Fareweils and greetings were as sweet
AS the near music of your feet,
That came to see me at the last.
One kiss, But / would not awake,
But bear the seal to Paradise:
The imprint of your lips and eyes,
That l would treasure for your sake.
Your hand. That I, across the dark,
May know the path you chose of eld,
When some affinity had held
Us kindled by kindred spark.
It cannot be you will forget!
And SO / will not say farewell;
/ loved you more than l can tell,
And waited till the last star set.

nal.

who has lately returned from the
west of that continent, related to a
sympathetic audience that he had re-

his tour. On one occasion 753 brides
were offered him at time, but, with
the gallantry of his nation, he refused
to accept any lest the rest should be
jealous. Otherwise the country, the
lecturer seemed to think, is safe
enough if the explorer is not endowed
with his fatal gift of beauty. These
great men are all adorably modest
