Sir Humphry pavy.

Sir Humphry Davy married a wild
ow as peculiar as himself. His pet af.
fectation was lack of time. He was
always in hurry. He pretended that
he had no leisure to dress himself, and
when a change of linen became neces-
sary he simply put one shirt over an
other until he was known to have on
five or six shirts at time, OF course
he could not wear this amount of ap.
parel without appreciably increasing
his size, and his friends not in the Sc
cret were sometimes surprised to see
him fall off in apparent weight twenty
pounds in day. His wife's great anx-
iety was to keep him ''fit for company"
but as he did not care fig for COM
pany she had no easy task. and domes-
tic discord was a common thing

PICTURESQUE HAVANA.
A Foreign City In Every Sense, With
It's Own Odd Charm.

Americans driving to their hotel
invariably exclaim that it seems to
them "as If they were abroad" The
question-to borrow a phrase from the
widely travelled but Unconditional Mr.
Baedeker-"need not detain them long"
They are abroad. Havana Is not mere
ly like foreign town." it is a foreign
town. 1t has its own odd look, it's spe-
cial picturesqueuess, it's own tumultu-
Gus life 1t abounds in unknown dishes
and strange fruits, and upon the hot
tropic night it pours out half barbaric
music and queer melancholy songs.
The long traditions of the Spanish
dominion of the two Americas still
cling about Havana's fortresses and
the palaces, churches and monasteries
of her ancient streets. She was a
proud, rich city. the entrepot of the
west, when our northern mainland was
wilderness. And now in the Cuban
twentieth century she is a crowded,
thriving. gay metropolis, with her own
pride, her own tropic airs and graces,
her own wholly un-American individu-
ality.
She may be crowded in the brief
winter season with American tourists,
may contain (as indeed she always has
contained) a considerable American
business colony and may be refuge
for derelicts and vagabonds straight
from the pages of o. Henry, Richard
Harding Davis and other Kiplings of
Spanish America. Still, she is always
the old Havana, the Cuban capital of

CHOOSING A HOBBY.
Make n One That viii Relieve the
Tension Of Business.

Make n One That viii Relieve the
Tension Of Business.
Writing on the advantage and enjoy
ment that q busy man will derive from
q hobby, Arnold Bennett says In the
Metropolitan:
'TR choosing a distraction-that is to
say. in choosing q rival to his business
-he should select some pursuit whose
nature differs as much as possible
from the nature Of his business. and
which will bring into activity another
side Of his character. II his business
Is monotonous. demanding care and
Bolicituds rather than irregular, In
tense efforts Of the brain, then let his
distraction be such as will make a
powerful call upon his brain. But If
on the other hand the course of his
business runs In crises that string up
the brain to its tightest strain. then let
his distraction he a foolish and merry
one.
Many men fall into the error of as.
cunning that their hobbies must be as
dignliied and serious as their voca-
tons though surely the example of
the greatest philosophers ought to
have taught them better! They seem
to imagine that they should continu-
ally be improving themselves in either
body or mind II they take up sport.
1t Is because the sport may improve
their health And II the hobby Is in.
tellectual 1t must needs he employed
to improve their brain.
The fact is that their conception of
self Improvement Is too narrow In
their restricted sense of the phrase
they possibly don't need improving,
they possibly are already improved to
the point OF being nuisance to their
fellow creatures: possibly what they
need is worsening. In the broad and
full sense OF the phrase self improve
ment. q course of self worsening might
improve them.
II have known men--and everybody
has known them-who would approach
nearer to perfection If they could only
acquire little carelessness. a little
observation-disclosures. little illogical.
ness. a little irrational and infantile
gaiety. little unscrupulousness in the
matter Of the time Of day. These con-
sideratons should be weighed before
certain hobbies are dismissed as being
unworthy Of plain mans notice"

request was sent Yesterday by cable

The committee hopes that the har-

will be further cemented by another

fore, requests the New York Yacht
Club to reconsider its challenge. Sir
Thomas Lipton's statement is as fol-

II deeply regret that the New York

my challenge. After reading the ex-

conclude that the challenge and the
intention of the challengers have

sixty-five feet nor more than ninety

THE deed of gift also states that

Interpretation of the Deed.
1T must be presumed that the
trainers of the deed of gift intended
that some reasonable meaning should
be attached to their words and they
could never have contemplated such
an absurdity as a challenger of sixty
five feet being met by ninety foot
defender.

not differ in principle from the ehal-
lenge / sent to America in 1907 The

there is any analogy between the
