with any degree Of promptness, and this has operated against building up a trade between the two countries. Cuba offers an excellent field for the Ameri- can shoe manufacturer. At present Spain almost wholly controls this mark ct. The Cuban foot is small, with high instep, hollow on the shank and slightly curved. and American manufacturers should bear these facts in mind. Soles should not be extended. but trimmed close to the upper. Oxfords are not much in demand. Stiff counters should be avoided. Every care should be taken to make cool shoe, and for this reason as little glue as possible should be used. Finish counts for more than the wear in the Cuban market, while cheap and medium grades are good sellers. An English print cloth, known in the United States as 1-2 to yards to the pound when 1nished is being imported into Cuba in large quantities. The coloring and finishing of the American cloth that sells in competition with this are generally better than either the Eng fish or the Spanish varieties.
 It will be strange and not very credit able if the manufacturers of this coun- try can't soon get control of the Cuban market. They are as smart as anybody, and much nearer.

GOOD FORK IN sALT LAKE CITY

OOOD W01ffN IN Sa EA D<H n N va
 Salt Lake City may be a wicked Nor mon place. but they care something about education there. Private generos- ity there is giving the school children the full year Of schooling which the municipal authorities have failed to provide. Money is lacking for teachers salaries, and but for popular rally the schools would doubtless have closed, temporarily at least. Instead there has been a noteworthy example of public spirit and energy. In each of the schools a mass meeting of parents and interest," ed sriends has been held, and the teachers and pupils are now in various ways going about the task of raising money. One school promptly arranged an entertainment which netted the sum of $500, enough to meet the bare neces- sities for 9 time. A dance was the means chosen by one group of teachers to help out the sums which parents had contributed towards the school ex- penses. In a third school 1t was shown that $1,270 would be necessary to keep classes going for the full term, and when the subscription list was circulat- ed. the teachers. whose own salaries constituted the principal item in ar rears, put down their names for $7o. In still another school, forty-four per cent. of the parents of pupils agreed to pay a small tuition fee to defray the abso- Iutely necessary expenses for five weeks more, just as if their children were go- ing to private schools.
 This is good example of public in- te1ligence and public spirit. Evidently Salt Lake City isn't wholly bad.

Woman.

The London Express prints this poem with a double reading. Read ii IS it stands, and woman is highly flat cred, but read alternate lines tone ana .hree, two and four of each verse; md the sentiment is very much the 'everse:
 Happy man may pass his life
 If he's directed by a wife,;
 If free from matrimonial chains
 He's sure to suffer for his pains.
 No tongue Is able to unfold
 The virtues in woman you behold; The falsehoods that in woman dwell Are almost imperceptible.
 In woman's heart you'll see appear Truth, darling of a heart sincere; Hypocrisy, deceit and pride,
 In woman never can abide.
 Destruction take the men, say,
 Who no regard to woman pay;
 Who make the women their delight, Keep always reason in their sight.

A striking feature of the Conference of Charities and Corrections at Atlanta was statement made by experts that the negroes in the South are in danger of being destroyed by insanity. The discussion was brought about by pa- per read by Dr. Searcy, Superintendent of the Alabama hospital for the Insane, who said that his experience showed that insanity was increasing among the negroes at an alarming rate. Dr. Scar cy declared that there are thirteen times as many insane negroes no was at the close of the war. .! Ia

The peculiarity of my position, writes Rev. Edward B. Haskell of the Ameri- can Boards mission at salonica, lis that If should tell the full, unvarnish- ed truth about the government under which I live (the Turkish government), I should probably be escorted out of its domain the next day. Again, if should tell the same about the modus operandi of the insurgent leaders, I should be in my grave shortly after"

Two French officers, Captain Truf- fert and Naval Ensign L'Huard, have completed an exhaustive exploration of Lake Chad and it's numerous islands, hitherto very imperfectly known. Ac- cording to these two explorers, the lake is 1855 miles i'll length by S9 miles in width. Curiously enough, it is on the whole extremely shallow, the deep- est part being the, western side, where the water is 25 feet in depth, while on the eastern shores it, is only feet in depth. The lake is interspersed with eighty islands divided into three groups-~-the first void of vegetation;
 the second, covered only with grass and herbs, but used by the natives for pasturing cattle; and the third, inhab- tied islands, which are thickly and well forested and contain extensive millet plantations. Altogether, 50,O00 people dwell on these islands. One of the most notable achievements of this ex-

There are some smart people in the world. One of them is a Brazilian planter who has begun to employ mon- keys as nut pickers on his estates. Noticing the facility with which they accomplished the task on their own be- half, he decided to train a number of them. He now has forty-eight indus trious monkey laborers under the di- rection of human overseers, who play and sing to the animals. It is found that they are intensely fond of music, and work much better when listening to it.

Great Bfitain's trade can decay" a great deal and still be large. Up to now she retains from 20 to 25 per cent. of the total trade of the world. No other na- ton has yet come within half of this re- niarkable percentage. Nearest is Ger many, with nearly Il per cent; France claims about 9 per cent; the United States secures rather more than per cent. If we add the output of the colo nies, the British Empire shows a record of about one-third of the trade of the whole world.
