Lonq and Short Miles.

English speaking countries have
four different miles-the ordinary
mile of $3.50 feet and the geograph-
ical mile of G,0Sj feet, making diff.
ference of about one-seventh be-
tween the two; then there are the
Scotch mile of 5,929 feet and the
Irish mile of 6,120 feet-four vari-
GUS miles, every one Of which is still
in use. Then almost every country
has its own standard mile. The
Romans had their mil passuum,
1000 PAGES, which must have been
about 5000 feet in length. The Ger
man mile today is 24,31S feet in
length, more than four and half
times as long as ours. The Dutch,
Danish and Prussian mile is Is, ,449
feet, three and half times as long
as ours, and the Swiss get more ex-
ercise in walking one of their miles
than we get in walking five miles,
for their mile is 9,153 yards long.

The Sultan and Coffee.

The sultan's diet is very simple.
He eats very little of the plainest
food and never touches wine or
liquors of any kind, but consumes
enormous quantities of coffee, which
aggravates his nervousness. Up to
a few years ago a servant with a
coifeepot always followed him when
he went out for exercise, and while
driving in the park coffee stations
were placed at frequent intervals
where he could stop and refresh
himself. BY the advice of his ply
sicians he now limits himself to five
or six cups of his favorite beverage
a day, and it is said that he has him
self noticed an improvement in his
health. He is not so nervous and
sleeps better.

Havana's "Boneyard,"

The "boneyard" of Colone ceme-
terry, Havana, is one of the odd and
grewsomc sights of the Cuban cap
ital.
This famous pit was first dug by
Don Pedro Naldas in 1902. 1t is
10 feet square and 90 feet deep,
and an eight foot wall incloses it.
A man dies, is buried in a rented
grave, is forgotten in a short time,
and the rent is unpaid for one year.
Then his bones are dug up and
thrown among his ancestors and
others ancestors in the mass of
dead humanity. The grave, being
open, is held to receive the next
body.
A careful estimate puts the num-
Der of human skeletons in the pit at
100000.

there were several members anxious

various provisions. upon which there
is a unanimous Senate and divided
