Woman rejects the follies that arc ascribed to her-who can blame her? but she seldom, if ever, objects to the angel part of it. In fact, she has hugged all the beautiful things said about her angelic attributes to her heart-such as a ''guardian angel o'er his life presiding, doubling his pleas ures and his cares dividing.'' until she is inclined to overestimate her ability to remodel almost any man she comes in contact with. While a truly influ ence can, and often docs, work won ders, still it has its limitations. Thc world has sighed many, many times over thc pitiful f.dlure of the good ami devoted woman who, having given up all, marries a man "to reform bini," only to lind that her tenderness and gentleness and piety counted for so very, very little after all. I am afraid I am helping to reveal some long-hidden clay feet, but if I am. I am not sorry. I do not like thc old habit of calling women angels any better than I like hearing a man say that is "just like a woman" when a woman flirts, breaks a heart and throws it aside like a child does a shattered toy. It is the commonplace woman, the one who admits that, like all humani ty-and humanity includes men as well as women-sue has enough faults to make her that most admira ble of all women, "not too bright nor good for human nature's daily food," and yet possessing a few aims and ideals of perfection that she will never let go of through whatever ups and downs of life may come to her. The woman who stauds out with the belief that she is naturally the angel that some very good poets and others have called her, will not make the best of life for herself or others. She will often he sadly disappointed that her angelic iuteutiotis are without weight. Shu will learn in time that when one is among mortals that one must do as mortals do. I do not mean by this- that I believe a woman should ever step down from thc high place of womanliness that is her birthright. I only mean that when she is gentle of speech, dignified of bearing, courteous and unselfish and with a reverence for things pure and good, that she has reached a perfection of character that is bound to influence others only for good, but too much faith in her nat ural goodness will spoil it all. There may be an occasional angel among women, and there is also an oc casional angel among men, but mortal angels are not frequent and not apt to be successes. The most delightful of men and women are thoae with a few faults and many virtues.-Margaret Haunts, in Sf. Louis Republic. A Conspiracy. A young man of some prominence in financial circles in a western city made a trip to Europe a few years ago. It was his first journey abroad, and the preparations for it naturally ab sorbed his time and filled his thoughts for several weeks beforehand. So pre occupied was he that ho started east ward with nothing to wear on his head but a travelling cap, leaving his best hat hanging on a hook in his office. He was gone three months. After returning home and resting a day or two he came down to the office to re sume his daily toil. Tho first thing that struek his eye was his hat. hang ing where he had left it. "That's a stroke of luck," he said. "I was afraid I had lost it. I see it hasn't been disturbed in all these (Jnonths. T shall just wear that hat again." "He took it down from thc hook, dusted it, and put it on his head. That ff, he tried to put it on. It was about two f izes too small. His office associates crowded around him. "That's the usual cfTect," they said. "A man's first trip to Europe always swells his head. Another one will re duce it to its normal size. Better 1,nr.c. *t?jj hat back on thc hook. Yes'll have no use for it this year, anyhow. Wc had hoped differently in your case, but you seem to be an ordinary Amer ican traveler-nothing more and noth ing less. It's a pity, but. there is no help for it." As the eas' est way out of the affair thc young financier hung the hat on the hook again, and sent out for a box of cigars. A week or two later, however, some one in the office casually took tho hat down, turned back tho sweatband, and ! disclosed a piece of lamp-wick about ? eight inches long. It had been put thoro on thc day the owner of the hat started for Europe, and the discovery of it cost him another box of cigars. 81ck headache, biliousness, constipa tion and all liver and stomach troubles can. be quickly cured by urina those fa mous little ni UR known af DoWitt'e Lit tle Harly Risers 'I hoy are pleasant to tako um! uuver gripe. K vans? Pharmacy. Cuba's Curious Animal?. xuu opuuiaru io nut mu vuiji ive ?ii? soldier will encounter in his Cuban marches, says the New York Sun. Cuban sand flics and mosquitoes are much like our own, hut wo have noth ing to match the huge spider, whole bite causes fever, nor the beligerent and known as vivajagua. A scorpion, though not so dangerous as the Euro pean variety, proves itself unpleasant enough to the careless traveler, and the chigoe, or "jigger," deals swift retribution toan offender. Its method of attack is inconvenient, for it bur rows under the toenail, and, unless removed at once, builds its nest there. In that ose inflammation occurs, and the only relief is the painful operation of having the little animal cut out. Snakes are not numerous, but they include some of the freaks of the ani mal kingdom. The huge maja, longer than two G-feet men set end to end. with a body'JU inches in circumfer ence, looks fierce enough and formid able enough to put a whole regiment to flight. It is all a blufl', for the big reptile is harmless. Among thc birds, thc soldier may exercise his taste for pets. Those pe culiar to the island have beautiful plumage, rich in coloring. There are nearly 200 kinds to be found there, and among them all the vulture and the turkey buzzard are almost the only birds of prey. They are so useful as scavengers to earry away waste mate rial that they are protected from death by law. Geese, turkeys, peacocks and pigeons are the most familiar domes tic fowls, and pigs, sheep, goats, mules and horses, the animals used. The Cuban horses are almost a race by themselves. They are very gentle, they never kick nor bite nor play any unseemly tricks un their riders. In some parts of the island horses re ceive as much consideration as a mem ber of thc family. They are not tied or confined, hut they wander about the door yard, put their heads into the kitchen windows to exchange the time of day, and even on occasion have the privilege of entering the house. Thc sight of humans and equines on terms of such easy familiarity makes one wonder if the days of Gulliver and his horse country have come again. Sometimes the roads are very bad and the mud so sticky that it holds any foreign substance like glue. For this reason farmers braid their horses' tails, turn them up over their backs and tie them to the saddle. No Northern pony would stand this indig nity, but the Cuban pack animals seem quite willing to endure it. In moun tainous regions mules are used to carry coffee and sugar down the mountain paths, and to save drivers, mules in long processions are tied together, one's head to another's tail, and with only one man at the head of the col umn to guide thc leader, they carry down their burdens safely. The hind legs of Cuban mules must be worked OD a different principle from that in vogue among United States mules. Here no insurance agency would in sure a man whose business was tying mules to one another's tails. The only wild animal peculiar to Cuba is the jutia, or hutia. It is rat shaped, black and small. It lives in the hollows of trees, like our squirrel, and eats leaves and fruit. Its flesh is insipid, but it is often eaten. Curi ous modifications cf felines and can ines inhabit the woods. The animals have sprung from dogs and cats in the domestic state and differ from them only in their size and habits. Some of the intelligence of civilization seems to remain with them, and they cause thc farmer much anxiety by their carefully planned attacks upon his poultry and cattle. Thc matter of lights is a small item of expense to the poor man in Cuba, for in the phosphorescent fly nature provides him a lamp free. This fly, the cucullo, about the size of our roach, is perfectly black, with a trans parent breast. Two eyes in front, and one in the point of its breast, give out so much light when its wings are spread that one can see by it to read a letter. Children make pets of cucul-. los and shut them up in reed cages. If they feed them on sugar, the sticky particles adhering to their legs exas perate them so much that they fall upon each other like prize fighters. The children avoid this by giving the flies sugar cane. They wash them carefully morning and night, and in this way keep their pets alive and shining for many days. Fashi mable ladies wear the bril liant flies in their hair, and sometimes the belles uso them covered with a gauzy material for living belts. One little girl remarked with much solem nity, after examining a cucullo's legs, that God made it with hooks to fasten on little girls' dresses. Left to them selves, the cucullos fly in regular lines, giving the effect of tho long pro cession of the watch at Havanna. For this reason the Cubans call them ?'ser?neos de los bichos"-watchmen of the insects. Fifteen or twenty of them in a calabash pierced with holes make a kind of lantern often used during tho night. A fow years ago an adventurous traveler brought a num ber of cucullos to New York and set them free in Broadway, to the lasting astonishment of an Irishman, to whom the dancing lamps wore such a mys tery that he wavored between the _1_j_A -v.--li-? J/.V..QV ...... ... V. U^V/UIIOI/, Another curious phenomenon of Cuban animal life is the procession of land crabs across thc island. They travel from north to south every spring when the rains commence, and arc as regular an institution as thc wot weather itself. Shell tish are abun dant, but they are of inferior quality. The climate is too warm for them, and oysters there at all times are as unsat isfactory as ours in the months when no magic ll appears. The rivers and j bays and inlets, however, are well stocked with palatable fish. The iguana, cayman and crocodile are common. A hugh variety of crocodile called cayiuau has a colony of its own on the Isle (d' 1'ines. Turtles are found in large numbers in shallows and reefs and on sandy beaches, ami they arc put to all sorts of uses, from soup to walking sticks. For canes the shell of the carely variety of turtle is used. First a strong stick is cut of the length desired. Then the turtle shell is boiled until it becomes a thin liquid, and iuto this thc stick is dip ped and allowed to cool. The process is repeated several times till the beau tiful tortoise shell covering is of prop er thickness. Afterward tho cane is polished, headed, titted with a ferrule, and sold for $4 or $3. Another curiosity is a cane made from thc dried skin of the manatee, or sea cow. Thc skin is perfectly trans parent, and when rightly prepared is flexible, but strong enough to be used as a rapier for defense. Mounted in gold and silver, these canes are very expensive. They are rarely seen in Havanna, and oue tourist, who wished to carry away a cane as a souvenir, paid $00 for the privilege. Why He was Happy. lie iCst of the passengers were readiug thc morning news, but one mau gazed with unseeing eyes out of the wiudow and whistled softly, the tune being broken every now and then by a smile that crossed, his bearded lips. Thc young -girl directly opposite thought him handsome, and ascribed his preoccupied air to romantic rea sons. And thc older woman "-ho sat with her glanced sharply across from time to time to see wdiat the young man meant by rudely whistling in a public conveyance. Hut the looks of youth aud age were alike lost on him, and after a while bc turned his face toward the light and sang with such hearty untunefulness that his spec tacled neighbor felt bound to remon strate. "Young man," she finally said, "have you hired this car for your own use ?" He stared ot her blankly for a min ute, and then flushed to the roots of his hair. "Was-was I singing?" bc asked. "You viere making a horrible noise," she replied. Then he laughed a wholesome, hon est guffaw, and leaned forward confi dentially. "The joke's ou me," he said. "To tell the truth, my baby has just cut a tooth, and-and I was thinking how cunning the little chap looked when he grinned." The war light faded in the woman's eycc, and a smile touched the corners of her mouth as she beamed on the young father and said with deep in terest : "Upper or under?" - H. ?Sb B.

Serre in the Navj. licfuie inc ucgiuuiug 01 uus?iii?t?? with Spain, when thc ship's company was drilled in preparing the ship for action, the men all took their stations promptly, and each part of the ma chinery of tho great eugine ol' war was quickly manned, and in a very few minutes everything was ready for ac tion. To an onlooker tue quickness and precision wit!, which each man took his station seemed marvellous. If these same people could sec the actions of the same men when ' '.general quarters" is sounded and i there is reason to believe an eugagc uieut i> imminent, they would scarcely believe their eyes. Now enthusiasm ' ?iud spirit dominate everything. Kaeli j man knows that on the way his work is done depends in a measure the out come of the conflict. When everything ir> made ready ammunition hoisted, guns loaded und I manned, there e?mes a period or sus- ? pense, a calm before the storm. so to speak. Looking around the decks no sign of fear can bc discovered : there are no pale or anxious faces to be seen: nobody seems to be thinking of ' .home: every thought is for the pres ent. Here and there the "jackies'' are cracking jokes; the men at thc guns that will be engaged seem thc most contented of all; their compan ions on thc unengaged side look sor rowful in comparison, und many a lit tle oath is dropped about hard luck by them. A period of expectancy now ensues. The nerves assume a state of tension, which is relieved as soon as thc gun is fired. The erew now settle down to work. The first few shells from the enemy cause comment; when a pull" of smoke from au opponent's gun is seen there are some that stop momen tarily and watch for the destination ol' thu shell, and feel relieved when they I see a column of water rise out of tho I sea. When the first shell whizzes overhead almost everybody eau bc seen to duck. This is entirely a re flex act, and is no sign of fear. Soon all thought ol' tilt; enemy's shells passes away, and thc men at tho guns have eyes for their own shells only. They know that the best defence is a well directed lire. Kach shot from the guns is noted, and when thc range is accurately determined thc Yankee marksmanship becomes evident. At Santiago the shooting from the New York was wonderful in its accur acy, shell after shell being dropped exactly in the right spot, and the gunners and others sent up a shout each time a cloud composed of guns and dusty Dons arose out of a Spanish battery. The excitement of action for those who can see what is going on dispels any nervous strain that may have existed. Below the decks, down in the en gine and fire rooms, in the coal bunk ers and magazines, there are many men working away, seeing nothing aud heating only the reports of the guns and exploding shells. If the engagement be with a ship they can not tell at what moment a torpedo will come crashing in through the vessel's side, or if the ship be enter ing a harbor at what instant the ship's bottom will be blown upward by a mine. These arc the people whose nerves are put to a strong test. Hut they never murmur, and so far no man in the American navy has given in to fear. The action over and thc enemy's fortifications reduced, there is an air of satisfaction visible everywhere. Men can be heard discussing the dif ferent shots and talking about the j target practice, and wondering when they will get some more. When "secure" has sounded and "'retreat" has gone thc men-go about their duties as if nothing had happened. Looking around they can be seen writing, playing cards, reading and sleeping quietly. One of the best examples of the pluck and nerve in tho American squadron was made manifest when a crew was wanted by Hobson to take the Merrimac into thc harbor at San tiago and sink her in tho channel. Thc fate of thc men who were to go on the expedition seemed to be sealed, as thc chancos of getting through alive apparently were very slim. There was no call for volunteers ; none was needed, for as soon as it bc I came known that the Merrimac was to I go iu on its perilous trip practically all of the officers and men in the fleet volunteered, and many were the dis appointments when the seven heroes *wcre chosen. The war, so far as tho navy is con cerned, has been devoid of many of its supposed horrors, and although the men have been on the larger ships for six months without getting ashore, there aro few, if any. who would go home if they had the chance before the final battle is fought.-Medical NCICK. Mr. H. A. Pass, Howman. Georgia, writes: "One of my children was very delicate and we. despaired of rais ing it.
