American men, and especially Ken
lucky men, have always been noted
for their appreciation Of American
women and their gallantry to them.
Now they have their reward. Thirty
six Kentucky 'schoolma' ANS" who
spent the summer travelling on the con-
tinent, remarked, when they set foot
upon their native soil again, that as
compared with the Americans the men
of Europe are "a most ornery-looking
and ornery-acting lot" The girls seem
to have accomplished Burke's impos-
sibility Of indicting a whole people.

THE GRANDEEs OF SPAIN.
Curious Custom of "Head Covering"
When They Are EnnObled.

Curious Custom of '.Head Covering"
When They Are Ennobled.
The ceremony of head covering" was
recently performed by a number or
Spanish peers, who thereby passed to
the rank of grandees Of Spain. The
ceremony, interesting on account of its
antiquity and it's historical significa-
ton, u.s. like many Spanish customs, re-
markable for its extreme simplicity.
The peers who took part in it were
the Count Of Cabra, the Count of Pla
sencia, the Marquis Of Rafal. the Mar
luis of Malferit, the Marquis of Bena-
neji, the Count del Real, the Marquis
" Hoyos, the Marquis de la Cenia, the
Count of Bilboa, the Marquis Of Viana
md the Marquis Of Tovar, who We're
each attended by a grandee as their
sponsor. When they had made three
customary reverences to the throne, the
queen regent in the kings name, babe

The speeches which followed, justify
ing the right of each peer to the honor
be was receiving, We're for the most
)art interesting excursions into the past
history Of Spain. The first, which was
also the most brief, that of the Count
Of Cabra, may serve as an example:

ceive the honor of covering my head

years, a bottle containing a communica-
ton from the crew and passengers of
the old steamer High Wind was found
day or two ago in the bottle heap at a
local bottling establishment by William
CLARK, a 12-year-old boy. The lad was
washing bottles and happened to notice
a beer bottle that was corked and seal
ed. His curiosity was aroused and he
opened it and found a piece of coarse
wrapping paper on which the following
was written with lead pencil. all the
words but one being perfectly distin-
guishable:
"Whitefish Point, Mich, Aug. IL.
l974.-This bottle was thrown off the
boat High Wind at the above named
place. Grew and passengers Ed Pat
vim, captain; Harry Brousseau, chief ::
Arthur Patvin, fireman. Passengers ::
Mrs. Ed Patvin, Brousseau and
children. Whoever finds this bottle
return it or let it be known"
1t is supposed that the bottle was
found floating in the lake by some of
the fishermen who put out from Duluth
and that it was sold to the bottling
concern along with other bottles that
had been picked up.
Inquiry was made Of several of the
old-t1mers in Duluth as to information
OF the steamer High Wind and her mas
ter, but If the vessel ever made this
port she seems to have been forgotten.
1t is supposed that the boat was a small
one and that she operated between
points on the north shore of Michigan.

Pennsylvania may now be ranked
with those States which have secured
new capitol buildings erected within
the amount appropriated. The new
capitol in Harrisburg was turned over
to the building commission by the con-
tractors four months ahead Of the date
on which it was to have been finished.
The cost Of the building is $4,000 less
than the amount appropriated. The
building itself Is a splendid pile of
granite, covering two acres of ground
and surmounted by a dome POP feet
high. The State has followed the ex-
ample set by the nation in the Con-
gressional Library in Washington, for
the original appropriation included sew
eral hundred thousand dollars to be
spent on interior and exterior decora-
tons by noted American painters and
sculptors.

CHINESE SKILL WITH AXES.
Carpenters of Cathay Will Compare
with Occidentals.

Naturally pre-eminent among the
skilled craftsmen of China the carpen-
ter still maintains the leadership.
Though almost invariably welded to
the use Of the tools of his ancestors
and to their methods, judged by re-
suits he Is more efficient in his line
than are the average of the foreign
trained filters and machinists in theirs,
though a constant diminution of the
difference is in progress.
In Judging the performance Of the
native workmen it is almost impossi-
BILE to avoid the popular bias that ad
diction to their own methods and tools
invariably bespeaks fatuous conserva-
tism. Though this is in many cases
true, it will often be found on careful
observation that what has passed for a
stubborn blindness to the virtue Of In
novation is in reality a keener percep-
ton Of comparative merits than the
Judge himself was aware Of.
This is particularly true Of Chinese
carpenters. While most of their COM
monest tools differ in some radical way
from our own, it is never safe to as
sumo the superiority of the western
product. Their small ak, for example,
is a beautifully balanced tool and they
are remarkably adept in the use of it,
being able to work as true a surface
Itherewith as can be obtained with an
adze in the hands of the white man.
On heavy work it is customary for
two to hew together on opposite sides,
striking alternative blows. Both hands
ARE used and the recover is over the
shoulder, alternate right and left.
There is a freedom of swing with an
accuracy of delivery that is treat to
watch and the rapidity of blows is al
most bewildering.-Eng Maya

Anterior Brownell contributes an ar
ticle entitled THE Commercial Annex
alton of Cuba to Appleton's Magazine,
the facts and figures in which are of
special significance in the present Gu
ban crisis. 1t shows that the interest
of the United States in Cuba is differ
ent in the year 1906 from what it was
in 1893. Up to the earlier year Amer
lean interests had invested in Cuba
about $S0,OOO,0OO, principally in sugar
and tobacco. AS much more has been
invested since the war, so that now the
American capital invested in the island
amounts to $16O,OO0,OOO. About 4,307,-
600 acres of land in Cuba about Is per
cent of the whole area of the island,
or much larger percentage of the
land under cultivation, belongs to
Americans. Three-fourths of the $780,
100000 worth of cattle on the island be-
long to Americans. One-third of the
money invested in railroads, $24, $780,
600, Is American, as against $4S,931,-
600 Cuban and British. American cap
ital monopolizes electric transporta-
tion, telegraph and telephone systems
in Cuba. The bonds of the Cuban re-
public were bought by a New York
house. American capital has given
new life to the island, and our inter-
est is no longer merely a sentimental
one. The Cuban market is the only
one in the world where the United
States sells as many goods as all other
nations combined. Cuba's buying power
is about $10O,0OO,OO0 annually, and
one-half of this is spent in the United
States Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia,
Argentina, Venezuela, and Brazil to-
gether do not buy as much as Cuba.
Its 100000 people, if there are that
many there, buy from us more than the
100000 people Of Japan and China.
Cuba has an open door. Americaniza-
ton Of Cuba will be a slow task, if not
an impossible one, If by that is meant
the substitution Of Anglo-SaXon habits
of thought in social relations or in
business interests for the Spanish type.
Americanization in the sense Of max
tor in the material prosperity Of the
island and in the value Of the inter
ests as represented there has pro-
crossed a long way since the last
Spanish governor general sailed away.
American occupation, temporary though
it was, freed Havana from the yellow
fever pest and taught lessons Of santa
ton which have made the island fit
place for Americans to live in, and the
number of colonists who have gone
there from the United States is not
insignificant Atherton Brownell, in
Appleton's Magazine, sums up the situ-
alton by saying that Gin the four years
since the Intervention period a move
ment quietly has been going on that is
rapidly tending toward practical COM
mercial annexation" Under whatever
form Of government develops in Cuba,
provided that it preserves order, fur
Their injection Of American capital is
inevitable. The future Of Cuba and
that of the United States are linked
together by ties Of mutual advantage,
and as the natural resources OF the is.

when a majority of the people Of Cuba
will be Of American birth and ale
