BRITISH VIEW OF CUBA
 IS ENCOURAGING

NEW YORK. May 25.-A British View Of Cuba Is given by Sidney Brooks. c1 London. the well known fngiish lsibicist who as now n New York after spending several months iE Cuba in behalf of the london Times. Mr. Brooks summa-- lzes some Of his impressions of the island and its problem as follows:
 What most surprised me was to lind Cuba cas of the cieansst ena hcaithiest countries l have ever como across. its death rate is the lowest but one in the world and ft was almost bewiidering to be forced so realize that Havana. With the terror of whose name all Europe and America have rung for three nm dred years. IS now no longer a fever den but one Of the choicest and best Fatronized health resorts and tour ists' resorts on the West Indies. American energy and example and Cuban docility and good sense are to be thanked for that. If Americans had never done anything else for Cuba they would deserve her lasting gratitude for having put the fear or ,iirt into the Cuban people. It is not the Platt amendment that keeps the Cubans securing and flushing thsir streets and installing water sSppies and sewage systems It is simply that they have learned that such things pay for themselves a thous- and times over. Yellow fever has be- come not merely obsolete but vtr- tually impossible and l do not be- iieve that any questions Of sanita- ton will ever again oblige fhe Unit cd States to take sn active interest Tn Cuban affairs.
 island Prosperous
 The island is prosperous and go- ing rapidly ahead MT. Bryce, the British ambassador at Washington. declared few years ago that no better field for the expenditure of capital could be wished for and the statement is even truer today than when it was first made. Cuba is one of the most accessible and potential ly one of the richest spots on earth, yet at the same time one of the least developed and the most sparse iy populated.

 Fear of Tariff Lsssening
 Fear of disturbing tariff action at the present session of congress is iessening. and best information ob- tainable suggests an adjournment by the first of July. There is an evi. dent disposition by both parties to delay legislation of radical nature until after the next presidential cleo ton. Crop prospects continue favor. able. and whether it be sentimental or not, there is evidence of an ap- preciable improvement fn the iron and steel industry. The money situ- afion is beginning to show rather stronger tone, though supplies are still adequate Last weeks returns of the clearing house banks show surplus reserves of $43.89f .O00. These are the largest at this season. with the exception of the abnormal year 1908. since 1898, and compare with yi7.f05. .O08 at the corresponding date a year ago.

IN OLD PHILADELPHIA MINT
Some Curious Discoveries Made In
the Work Of Removing the
Buildings Foundation.

In removing the foundations Of
the coinage building of the old mint,
at 81 and 80 North Seventh street,
some quaint specimens of old-time
building construction, including sew
eral curious vaults, were uncovered.
The cellar in which the vaults were
located was reached by heavy stone
steps, supported by brick or stone
arches, a method handed down from
medieval times. One of the vaults
in which bullion was stored consist
ed of vault within vault, and was
designed, il is said, at the time of
the war of 1912 to conceal materials
which could not be readily trans
ported to other hiding places. Sew
eral small windows in the cellar were
protected by heavy hand-wrought
iron bars. These have been preserved
and will be added, along with other
relics, such as locks and hinges, to
the collection in Independence hall.
In digging out an old well in the
yard a number of copper coins, bear
ing the dates 1716 and 1918, we're
found, as well as a quantity of scrap
copper from which the coins had
been cut. From old papers relating
to lawsuit, found by Frank a..
Stewart, president of the company
which owns the property, it was as
certained that five buildings we're
originally included in the old mint,
all of them grouped around the coin
age building. 1t is an historic fact
that this old structure, which was
the last of these buildings to be
RACED, was the first building of any
description erected by authority OF
the United States congress.-Phila-

Smoking in the Dark.

According to experts in the tobacco
business the prevailing impression
that a man cannot enjoy a sL-oke in
the dark is erroneous. 1t all depends
on the cigar. According to the best
authority, sight plays no part in the
enjoyment of a smoke, and it is point
ed out that blind men are most invet-
crate smokers; in fact, blind men are
expert in telling a good cigar from a
poor one, as their sense of smell is so
well developed. A New York cigar
dealer says that one Of his best Gus
toners is a blind man and he can tell
good cigar from bad one by his
sense of smell, even when standing a
yard or more from his counter.
Most smokers do not like to smoke
In the dark. They say 1t is necessary
to watch the smoke ascend and to see
the rings curl IN order to thoroughly
enjoy II, but cigar dealers say the en-
joyment is really in the taste and not
In the odor, and the sense OF taste
needs no light to make smoking enjoy
able.
