ARRIVE IN CUBA.
Secretary Taft and Party Are Cordially
Received By the Populaee.

HAVANA, Sept. 19.-The American
cruiser Des Moiues, with Secretary of
War Taft and Acting Secretary of
State Bacon on board. entered Ha.
vana harbor at : o'clock this morn
ing. All on board are we'll.
At half past eight the captain OF the
port conveyed Senior OFarreli. the
Cuban secretary Of state: Mr.. Sleeper,
the American charge d~'afaires, and
the representatives of The Associated
Press on board. At the same hour
Commander Colwell came over from
the cruiser Denver.
A fairly large crowd had assembled
at the Caballero wharf to witness the
landing, but there was 40 demonstra-
ton OF any sort, as the launch carry.
ing the guests whose visit is consid.
cred so momentous to Cuba's future
swept around the cruiser Denver which
is still moored in front of this wharf.
The Denver's sailors were drawn up
and presented arms and the cruiser
fred a salute as the secretary Of war
stepped ashore.
The secretary at C faced a o
of cameras. Then the mayor. and the
councilmen of Havana, clad in black
frock coats, advanced and delivered a
formal welcome to which Secretary
Taft responded briefly. The party
thereupon entered automobiles and

were conducted upstairs into the main
saloon.
Those at the meeting with President
Palma were Secretaries Taft and Ba-
con, Minister Morgan and captain

President Roosevelt. The exchange
Of greetings were cordial. Formalities
soon gave place to intimate conversa-
ton and the situation was discussed
in a general way. Details were not
taken up. President Palma expressed
himself particularly appreciative of
President R~oosevelt's attitude, that no
policy had been formulated with re.
gard to the future, and thatoPresideut
Roosevelt's representatives were ap-
preaching the task to actlwholly in &C.
cordance with developments.
Secretary Taft showed President
Palma q list of names, OF Alfredo
Zayas and five other members of the
liberal commission, which he said had
been handed him by Commander Col
we'll and which he understood to be
the names of those who will be con.
sidered the official representatives to
the revolutionists. No objection was
made to these men acting in that ca.
pacity.

A Millinery Hint.

A kink in fashionable millinery
which promises to become a vogue in
the fall Is the massing of tulle ut the
back of the hats, the color of the tulle
matching as nearly as possible the
color Of the hair on which it rests.
regardless of the color of the hat o.
its other trimmings. This is rather n
neat device which does away with the
need OF an e~xa-geratedly pulled Golf
fure. The tuiie itself seems to be Il
part of the hairdressin:S, and the tilted
chapeau rises from it at any angle
which may please the milliner's ar
tlstic eye.

"A SMALL THING"

DO you believe in progress? Do you
believe that all the wonderful achieve
ments OF the nineteenth century-the
railroad, the telegraph, the telephone,
electric light, kerosene, sewing ma
chine, agricultural machinery, steam
ships, trolley cars, etc.-have made
life easier and better worth living? I
do. I believe that man who lives
40 years under modern conditions has
experienced more life and better life
than Methusalem, though he had lived
20 centuries of his time.
The triumphs Of the nineteenth CEN
fury were triumphs of human service
the placing of knowledge and the
fruits of knowledge within the reach
Of the common man. Every mans
life is better, happier, more secure be-.
cause Of them. We live more comfort
able, more sociable lives in better and
more comfortable houses because OF
them. Even the hopeless dweller In
the worst city slums is more COM
Portable in his physical conditions than
the middle-class citizen OF the days OF
George Washington.
In little things as in great, comfort
and convenience have been the legacy
of the Century of improvement"
Paint, In certain sense, is minor
matter, yet 1t gives beauty, healthful-
ness and durability to our dwellings.
Fifty years ago painting was a serious
proposition, luxury for the owners
Of stately mansions who could afford
the expense of frequent renewals. To-
day ready mixed paint is so cheap, SO
good, and so universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property well painted.
A small thing, indeed; yet several
hundred large factories, employing
thousands OF chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet can Of good
ready mixed paint. such as one may
buy from any reputable dealer, en-
bodies the study Of generations Of
skilled chemists, the toll OF a thou
sand workmen In MILL laboratory and
factory, and the product Of long
series of special machinery invented
and designed just to make that can
of paint and to furnish us an infinite
variety of tints, colors and shades.
1t was wonderful century, that
nineteenth of our era. and not the
least of its wonderful gifts was that
same commonplace can of paint.

Ice Down the Neck for No.e-b1eed.

Faulty logic is at the bottom of most
of the medical fallacies of the day. Cause
and effect are confused or imagined and
hasty generalization does the rest A case
in point is afforded by certain homely
remedies for nose-bleed. Ninety-nine
times in every hundred nose-bleed will
stop OF itself within few minutes But
the sufferer, unaware Of natures skill as
healer. is eager to give her aid. So he
presses his upper lip and when, in short
while, the flow of blood stops, he thinks
that 1t does so because he has compressed
the arteries. AS matter of fact, the
arteries which reach the nose are deep
in the face and utterly beyond pressure
from without.
Another favorite method of stopping
nose-bleed is to drop a cold key or q
piece Of ice down the patients neck or
to put a toad upon his head In this
madness there IS some method. though its
advocates. in all probabilf !. could offer
no sensible account of the relation be-
tween cause apd effect. sudden fright
or unexpected shock causes a. spasmodic
contraction Of the small blood vessels.
which forces the blood into the larger
vessels. and gives the little ones time to
repair injuries. A piece of ice, In the
course of its uncanny slide down the
vertebrate, produces a shock. A blow on
the head with a brick. or boiler ex-
plosion next door, would produce an equal
shock and cure nose-bleed Just as effect
