MUSIC OF THE CUBANS.
IT Ii Even Worse Than the Horrible
Noises Made by the Al
gerians.

Cubans show a semi-savage prefer
ence for such music as is made by
band composed of a stamp-mill
sort of a crank piano, pair of sugar
kettle tom-toms and a man with a
horse-radish crater called a giro"
and a fiat file with which to scrape it
the combined outfit producing a dis
cordant potpourri that might easily
dislocate the teeth of any self-respect-
ing handsaw, says the Detroit Free
Press. This example of music as the
Cubans fancy it is even worse than
the fingerdrumming and wire-snap-
ping musical murders committed in
Tunisian bazars and Algerian cafes
chantantes The lauded but lugubri-
Gus Cuban national hymn is best es-
teemed when performed by one of
these bands of inharmonic banditti,
and the national dance, that monoton-
Gus combination of motions that sug-
gests that the dancer is trying to shoe
a flea off the small of his back and
also go easy on a stone-bruised heel,
can only be adequately performed to
the music of these African agitators of
cat-gut, raw-hide and perforated tin.
The truth is the Cubans will have to-
learn music all over again.

THEY TOOK NO SOUP.
In Che Early Days of the Republic
1t Was Food for InvaIids
Only.

Serving dinner in courses is com
paratiyely a modern fashion, first in
troduced in diplomatic circles in
ID. G., and initiated from
France. Up to the date of President
Folks administration the course din
ner among Americans had made no
further progress than that of serv-
ing fish and soup separately. Soup
was considered such foreign "trip
perry that note written by Gen.
Winfield Scott. in which he explained
that he was Just sitting down to a
hasty plate of soup" covered him
with such ridicule as to materially
to his defeat as candi-
date for the presidency, says Lippin-
colts. Soup in the early days of the
republic was considered as food for
invalids or poor people only; later,
when the social splendors of the
court Of Empress Eugene attracted
rich Americans in flocks to Paris,
French table manners and custom
pushed the old English dinner fash
ions to the wall 1t is doubtful, how
ever, if soup ever found a place on
the dinner table of the wealthy
Maryland or Virginia planter, unless
green turtle, which was really
stew, might be so called.

CHAMPION SNAKE HUNTER.
A Frenchman who Was Credited
with killing 10000 VenomouA
Reptiles.

It Is not well known that certain
parts of France are infested with
poisonous serpents, against which
warfare is waged by state-paid SER
pent hunters. They are killed in
thousands, and the price per head
is 2hd. There was some time ago
a famous serpent killer in the forests
Of Southampton, John Milly, who in
AZ years of hunting killed more than
$4,000 vipers, says the London Tat
tier A Frenchman named Courtol,
who hunted in the Loire district, can
be compared to MilIy, as he was
credited with having killed 10000 VEN
omous reptiles. His only weapons
were one or two massive sticks. AS
soon as he saw the serpent he adj
vanced and hit it violently, either
killing or stunning it; with the sec
ond stick he pinned it to earth and
cut off the head with a huge pair
of scissors. But along with these
simple weapons Court1l possessed a
thorough knowledge of the habit of
serpents. He knew when and where
to find them. In two days near Puy-
a-Clermont he killed 230 of them, and
not only did he kill the poisonous
creatures, but he would capture them
living when desired.

HISTORY ON MANS SKIN.
A Piece of Artistic TsstoOlng Re-
vealed by an Arrest of the
Paris Police.

A remarkable life story is reported
from Lyons. In consequence of a com
plant lodged by a local butcher, a
young man, Of weak and miserable APP
pearance, was arrested for theft. He
protested that he WAS innocent of the
charge, and that he had never before
been in the hands Of the police, says
Paris report to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. "To prove the truth of my
statement" he continued, barring his
breast, "look at this, and see whether
it would not be easy to establish my
identity"
The young fellow having stripped to
the waist, it was found that his body
was entirely tattooed with historical
scenes, which included the murder of
the Due de Guise and the death of Pres
ident Carnot.
The mans life story was as remark
able as the rest. Son Of the wife of a
superior officer in the French army,
and born out of wedlock at Marseilles,
he was placed by his mother with
woman in that town, who received GO
francs month for some years for his
keep. Afterward he served on several
coasting vessels as cooks boy, where
he met former student of the Beaux-
Arts school, who was also in difficult
ties, and who tattooed his body in a
most artistic manner.

LUNACY ON THE INCREASE.
Swedish Professor Says That Edu-
Gated Women Are the Chief
Victims.

Hermann Lundborg, Of the great
Swedish lunatic asylum at Upsala,
says that lunacy is increasing among
Swedish women and more especially
among the educated classes. In the
lower classes insanity is brought on
chiefly by the cares Of life or intern
perance, but in the educated women
the main cause, he contends, is their
education.
DR. Lundborg emphatically asserts
that the forced training to which this
GLASS of women submit themselves is
most hurtful.
1T is monstrous," he says, ito sub
ject women to this competition, and
if the competition does not cease eff
fects upon future generations will be
disastrous"
DR.. Lundborg states that the Swed-
ish who have been educated in acade-
mics have remarkably small families
when they have any and that in too
rany cases their family relations are
unhappy owing to their inability to
discharge household duties.

THE VICES OF BRITTANY.
Strange Condition Of Inhabitants
Woo Are So Near to the Great
French Capital.

| Having spent two summers in Brit
! tany, find myself wondering that one
! can be so near and yet so far from civ
ilization; that in this day and genera
! ton, in country whose advanced
I thinkers lead the world, there can be
people so ignorant Of all that makes
! life acceptable to an enlightened peo-
pie. Their semicivilized manner of life
and thought, however. will not be
! changed until the new generations are
taught in public schools that life is
made up of duties which each cody
person owes to himself.
Take, for instance the thing that is
Bretons have not the least notion of
what it is To get into their home,
which more properly should be called
huts, one must step through deep
.mire OF muddy manure, which rots
there from years end to years
end. The pigs live with the people, and
If the cows and oxen do not it is be-
cause they either cannot get into the
doors or they would take up too much
room in the small houses.
The children grow up like little saw
ages until they are put into the hands
of sisters TO be taught their letters,
then the teaching that concerns soul
and body is done by sisters who know
little about life, health, the disciplin-
ing of minds, the teaching of truth and
righteousness hardly more than the
parents of these children do. Thus
generation after generation goes on
with the same habits, with the same
vices, utterly ignorant of progress, of
enlightenment.
Drinking in Brittany is scourge
says a correspondent Of the Brooklyn
Eagle. The soberest have their days
in which they usually get dead drunk.
In Point Ayen | had woman come an
hour in the evening to do some work.
She told me from the beginning that
she could not come on Thursdays be-
cause she was obliged to go and get
her husband from the ma rchand de
vim, for that was the day he got drunk.
You will find common bedrooms in
each house in which the whole family
sleep. ! have seen these rooms with
. bed in each corner in which mother,
father, grandmother and grandfather
and six small children sleep and the
pigs and their family had a sty in the
middle Of the room. And yet it is said
that Brittany is moral country; but
doubtless their idea Of morality is a
broad one.

A NEW KIND OF BERRY.
One That IL New to the Credulous
and ConfdIng Only, and
n Fraud.

lne newest thing in small fruits is
the "Arctic" berry. In parts of the
west enterprising agents have been
going about among the farmers eXhlb-
iting misunderstanding berries pre-
served in alcohol. They are about
three times the size of a strawberry
and with the color of an orange.
VERY delicious" says the agent,
who claims that it is a brand-new fruit
of extraordinary merit. lie explains
that it was obtained by crossing the
strawberry and the wild cherry, the
huckleberry and various other berries.
In response to orders he is willing to
deliver limited number of plants.
Naturally, says the Detroit Free
Press, orders in plenty have been
Forthcoming. But it turns out on in
vestigation that the ne" and won
derful berry is nothing more nor less
than the white mulberry, long ia
miliar and not greatly esteemed. In
other words, the whole business is a
fraud, and the evaporation of the vic
Tins Is rendered more intense by the
fact that all the plants, which they
had set out so carefully, are killed by
the first frost.

AUTOMOBILE SEA SCOUTS.
A Suggestion Which Might BE Adopt
ed by Naval Powers to Thor
Advantage.

AS military motor-bicycles have al
ready proved themselves to be OF
value in scouting, it is probable that
in nearly every civilized country they
will be largely used in future land
warfare. Why, il the fast land scout
prove so useful, should not the navy
adopt the same methodist A boat, so
feet long, with two 25-horse power
engines built very light, to carry, say.
four persons and to be capable Of con-
siderable speed, would be a most use
full addition to battleship Of feet,
says the London Star. The ordinary
torpedo boat is too long and draws too
much wafer for scouting near shore or
in shallow water but launch might
be made to draw less than three feet
of water, and yet have speed OF up
ward. Of 30 knots. There would be no
tunnels or smoke TO attract the notice
Of the enemy, and with underwater
exhaust the boat might be made al
most silent. II built low in the water,
or with the power Of semi-submersion
1t would be difficult to hit. Probably
such a craft would be more useful
than anything yet invented in the way
Of a scout for sea purposes.

KING EDWARDS HEIGHT.
From This Extract 1t May lie Drawn
That His Maje~ty Is About
Fiye-FOot-Six.

Why people should make bets on
matter about which they have no
information, and then ask me to de-
eide them without ascertalning
whether / know any more than they
do, Is one of the mysteries of edi-
torial life, says a writer in London
Truth. Here is the latest example CT
this singular practice:
"Sir: / should esteem it favor II
you will kindly answer in your Truth
columns or privately, what the
height Of King Edward VII. is, as two
papers have already been written to,
and they decidedly disagree, one stat
ing five feet five and one-half inches
and the other five feet four inches,
and | shall, therefore, take your
measurement as authentic, etc"
One might have supposed that his
previous experience would have
shaken this gentleman's confidence i'll
editorial infallibility. Why did he
not write to the kings tailor? !
have never had occasion to take his
ma iesty's measure. But if my guess
Is to decide the knotty point, L
guess five feet seven inches. No
doubt plenty Of people will be ready
to correct this off hand; but ! do
not believe / can be more than half
an inch out either way. Certainly
both the figures given above are I'M
der the mark.

ALL GIVE HIM THE ROAD.
One Driver for Whom Every Othe<
Teamster on the City's Streets
Quickly Makes Way.

Perennial in its power Of attraction
is the fire engine dashing along the
city's streets OLA the way to fire, and
it fsscinate ties s-u. And every driver and
every motor1nan, every man handling
anything On wheels gives the fireman
the right of way and he does so spon-
taneously and gladly, says the New
York Sun.
And often many drivers hold up all
at once to give the driver OF the ire
engine his choice OF ways, as they
would where two streets cross, and
they do this before they see the en-
CINE at all But they know it's coming
and they hear it's whistle.
Here was an engine coming along
cross street to Broadway, whistle q
calling. At the first note of it every
motorman or driver who CHANGED at
the moment to be near the junction OF
Broadway and this street, stopped
short, leaving the central space unoc-
cupied, and leaving clear channels
away from st in every direction.
None of these drivers could know
which way the fire driver would want
to turn when he got to the corner, so
they all stopped, 10 give him a free
road in whichever way he wanted TO
go and when he had come and gone
dashing round the corner they all
started up again on their several ways
But so far as they could they had given
the whole earth to him.

RENTING STUFFED ANIMALS.
Merchants in the City Use. Them to
Make a Display in the HolL-
day Season.

The trade in stuffed animals gets
brisker with the approach of the hol-
iday season. 81 don't mean by that"
said a William street taxidermist,
according to the New York Times,
shat we are selling more OF them
We are not. We never do sell stuffed
beasts in herds at this time of the
year, but our renting list swells pro-
digiously. People whose business re-
quires them to use stuffed animals and
bird as an advertisement generally
want an extra duck or dog or bear
added to their stock for month or
two preceding and following Christ
mas. A trademark Of this kind OF
good quality costs anywhere from 80
to SIS and as those that are used mere
ly as 'supers' are needed only few
months in the year, it is cheaper to
rent them than buy them outright
Almost every merchant in town, OF
high or low degree, makes an extra
splurge at this season by exhibiting
polar bear or some other festive ami
NAL, consequently our rentals amount
to a rather nice income. Some sea-
sons we do a pretty thriving business
with theatrical companies, also, but
this year the drama seems to have be-
come too realistic to rely on stuffed
art for its effects, and our orders for
property fowls and quadrupeds have
been few"
