Facts About the Harbor and the City of
Havana.
The bay of Havana is one of the finest
harbors in the world. It is sufficiently
spacious to hold 1,000 large ships and deep
enough to allow them to load and unload
at the wharves. It is easy of access. The
entrance is 980 feet wide and 4,200 feet
long.
Havana presents a picturesque appear-
ance from the sea. At one time the city
was surrounded by walls, but they have
been demolished of late years. The erec-
tion of wooden structures has been pro-
hibited since 1772 and the houses are most-
ly of stone, with flat roofs. White marble
is lavishly used in decorations. Cafes,
restaurants and clubs are very numerous
and well patronized and there is little of
that home life which forms the mainstay
of American cities. The streets are nar-
row, the water supply good and the sanita-
tion bad. There are over twenty churches.
The principal is the cathedral, built by
Jesuits in 1724, containing the tomb of
Columbus, and richly frescoed walls. There
are seven hospitals, orphan asylum, home
for vagrants and several charitable institu-
tions. Theatres, public drives, promenades
and gardens are numerous.
The city has a large trade in tobacco,
sugar, cod fish, flour, lard, wine and oil.
There are over 100 first class cigar factories
in the city. The Royal and Imperial fac-
tory of La Honradez occupies a square and
makes 2,532,000 cigarettes daily.
Havana is strongly fortified. The fa-
mous El Morro castle was erected in 1589
and fort La Punta in the same year. The
castle of Artes dates from 1763. Cabana
castle has accommodation for 4,000 men ;
it fronts the bay for 800 yards and is de-
fended on the land side by three bastions.
The city was orginally founded in 1515 ;
in 1528 buccaneers laid it in ashes. The
pirate, Jacob Sores, plundered it in 1555
and Drake threatened to take it in 1585.
The English, under Pocock and Albemarle,
captured it in 1762, but it was returned to
the Spaniards in exchange for the Floridas.
Steamers ply regularly between Havana,
and the principal North and Sonth Amer-
ican and European ports.
The population of the city and suburbs
is about 250,000, including about 75,000
free negroes and slaves. The average rate
of mortality is 27 per 1,000 annually.
Yellow fever is prevalent from June to
September.
Mrs. Manning Elected.
She Defeats Mrs. McLean and Mrs. Brackett for Pres-
ident General of the D. A. R.
‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The election of
officers of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, assembled in congress. here,
was not finished to-night. The vice presi-
dents general and historian general yet re-
main to be elected. Mrs. Daniel Manning
was elected president general, receiving
396 votes. Mrs. Donald McLean received
110 votes, and Mrs. Rose Brackett 22. Mrs.
A. D. Brackett, of Virginia, was elected
vice president general in charge of organi-
zation of chapters. Mrs. Charles A. Stak-
ley, of Washington, was re-elected chaplain
general. The recording secretary general
elected was Mrs. Albert Ackers ; Register
general, Miss Sue Hetzel ; treasurer general,
Mrs. Mark B. Hatch, these being also of
Washington. Other officers elected were
Mrs. Robert S. Hatcher, of Maryland, assis-
tant historian general, and Mrs. Gertrude
Bascom Darwin, librarian general.
When the nominations for the 20 vice
presidents were reached Mrs. Page
Morris, of Minnesota, was nominated for
vice president of that State by Mrs. J. B.
Beall, who said she represented the regents
of St. Paul chapter and the general voice of
that chapter. An objection was raised by
Mrs. Torrence, not against Mrs. Morris
personally, but because she was unknown
to the Daughters of the State. She said
Mrs. Newport, State regent, was the can-
didate for the State. Mrs. Newport de-
clined to have her name used, saying she
had not resigned her office of State regent
to seek a higher office, but preferred to
serve the organization as a high private.
The discussion over this nomination was
quite animated. After Mrs. Newport's
withdrawal Mrs. Torrence said Minnesota
did not wish any office, but Mrs. Morris's
name stands for election. Among the
nominating speeches which attracted at-
tention was that of Mrs. C. B. Bryan, of
Memphis, who named Mrs. Donald Mec-
Lean for president. Mrs. T. J. Latham,
of Memphis also received praise for the
manner in which she placed in nomination
Mis. Keim.
The last rites over the body of Frances
Willard, president of the Woman’s Chris-
tian Temperance union, were performed at
Evanston, Ill.,, Feb. 24th. The city was
in mourning, schools and business houses
being closed and flags at half mast out of
respect for the dead leader. Private ser-
vices were first held at ‘‘Rest Cottage,”
Miss Willard’s home, at which were pre-
sent only the relatives and most intimate
friends and the officers of the Womans’
Christian Temperance union. A prayer
was offered by Mrs. L. M. Stevens, acting
president of the Womans’ Christian Tem-
perance union, and after the hymn, ‘‘Jesus,
Lover of My Soul,”” had been sung by
those present, the casket was conveyed to
the First Methodist Episcopal church,
which was filled to the doors, and where
the final services were held, led by Rev.
Dr. Frank M. Bristol, Miss Willard’s
former pastor. Addresses were made by
President Henry Wade Rogers, president
of Northwestern university ; Rev. Dr.
Charles Little, Mrs. Louisa Rounds, Mis.
John 8. Dotter, of Iceland ; Mrs. Kathe-
rine L. Stephenson and Mrs. Clara Hoff-
man. The casket was covered with flowers,
almost every country and state being repre-
sented by some floral piece. Interment
was in Rose Hill cemetery.

Willow Culture in Europe.
Europeans cultivate willow alongside of
wheat. France leads, and Germany and
Holland stand high in willow culture. In
Germany there are 40,000 persons engaged
in making willow baskets, and 50,000 acres
of land are used in growing the willow for
them. The culture of the willow is the
simplest thing in the way of cropping. A
twig stuck mto the moist ground isall that
is required. Nature does the rest. For
fine basket work Salix amygdalina is the
queen of willows, although Salix purpurea
and viminalis are also extensively used. In
France the willow grower does not hesitate
to plant good wheat lands in willow. In
regions where lumber is scarce baskets re-
place cases, boxes and trunks. In the
region of La Tremblade and Arcachon there
are large plantations of willows and fac-
tories for the manufacture of rough baskets
in which to ship their famous oysters. It
is in the Low Countries the willow is used
most. It serves for baskets of all kinds,
fences, cattle racks, wagon tops, trunks,
boxes and even the signals along the river
are of painted willow wickerwork. Fromits
wood they make their indispensable sabots,
or wooden shoes. It serves still another
purpose ; when planted alongside their
many dikes, it holds them in place and if
constantly catches the sediment, increasing
the depth and fertility of the soil. The
beneficial effects of willows aiong the banks
of streams and rivers cannot be over-esti-
mated. The fertile soils washed down from
the farm lands, instead of flowing into the
sea, are caught by the willows along the
shore. In that way streams are narrowed
and consequently deepened. Away up in
the mountains in France, where, owing to
deforestation, the streams rush with much
destructiveness down the steep mountain
sides, they wind willow twigs in the shape
of a hammock and throw it across the
stream. These twigs soon sprout, take
hold of the soil and force the stream to
move in a zigzag way.
An Indian Mother’s Devotion.
Wrapped Her Baby in Her Own Clothing and Per-
ished That the Child Might Live.
Passengers by the Danube bring the
story of the suffering of a party of Indians
on the Dyea trail. On Feb. 7th this party,
including two squaws, started from Lake
Linderman to the coast. They were out
only a short time when a storm struck
them and completely obliterated the trail.
They roped themselves together and suc-
ceeded in making a little progress in this
way. They had not proceeded far, how-
ever, before the rope snapped like a thread,
throwing the two squaws a considerable
distance down the mountain side. The
heartless bucks left them there to perish,
proceeding slowly along the trail until
they reached a place of safety.
In the meantime the women, nearly up
to their necks in the snow, sought to find
the trail. One, encumbered by an infant
strapped on her back. was soon compelled
to abandon the search. Her companion
left her. saying she would return with help
if she herself could reach it.
The encumbered woman unstrapped her
child and as the storm grew and the cold
became more intense, she stripped article
after article from her own body to keep life
in her child. When found next morning
by a party of men who were crossing the
trail, the full extent of her devotion was
seen. In a half kneeling position the poor
squaw was discovered stripped almost to
the skin, with her babe warm and full of
life, clasped in her arms. Nearly every
serviceable portion of upper clothing had
been taken from her body to keep warmth
and life in the little one, and it was also
discovered that even in this half nude con-
dition she had managed to crawl along the
trail after her party a considerable distance
before death came.
Her companion managed to reach a white
prospector’s camp. The remainder of the
party held together and safely reached the
trail in the morning.

——Legal holidays Lave been increasing
of late years in Pennsylvania in arith-
metical ratio with each session of the Leg-
islature. We have now twelve full legal
holidays and fifty-two half holidays, the
equivalent of thirty-eight full holidays in
all. The legislature should be petitioned
to stop right here. It has given us enough
and to spare. The last legislature added
the local election day and Lincoln’s birth-
day, bothin Feb. to the list of holidays,
making three full holidays, besides four
half holidays in a single month, and that
the shortest one in the year. June, Au-
gust and October, very good holiday
months, have no full holidays at all. Per-
haps there are not too many legal holidays
if they were more evenly distributed
throughout the year ; but to appoint three
within the short compass of eleven days,
as we will always have in February until
the present law is changed, is a palpable
absurdity.
——There is a rumor the Superior court
is in danger of going to pieces, on account
of the dissatisfaction of the judges with the
business that comes to their tribunal and
other reasons. Reeder talks of resigning
because of bad health, within a year, and,
it is said, has gone to Europe for an in-
definite time. One point of complaint is,
that it is irksome to hold court at so many
different places in the State, the very thing
the Court was instituted for, so that people
of small means could reach it without the
trouble and expense of going to the Su-
preme court.

gust, ‘‘my schoolmaster can do that.”

Words of Wisdom.
The business man who is going to ad-
vertise next week is a twin brother of the
fellow who is always just missing a fortune
by the skin of his teeth.
When a girl comes home from school,
and is as nice and modest as a girl who has
not heen away to school, it isa sign that
she has extra good sense.
Personal consciousness is, perhaps, a
higher and moré satisfying proof of a life
beyond the grave than any historical or
logical proof that can be offered.
If some dealers worked as hard to build
up their own business as they do to tear
down that of their competitors, there
wouldn’t be so many failures to record.
That love which is based on the mutual
esteem of pure hearts, refracting and re-
flecting the ray of good qualities on each
other, is alone productive of earthly joy.
If you want to accomplish anything as it
should be done, you must go about it cool-
ly, moderately, faithfully, heartily. Hurry-
ing, fretting, fumbling, spluttering, will
do no good. :
If you mean to do something worthy of
being remembered, mind your work well,
but never mind your fame ; leave that to

all such affairs.

Let a ship be in the water and itis all

down she goes.
When the burdens of life rest heavily
upon us, when sometimes a weight of des-
pair seems to be settling down upon our
hearts, then we know the value of sym-
pathy, the need of a helping hand.
Heroes of principle are the demand of
the hour—men who believe something and
who will not swerve from what they be-
lieve, and who are not time servers, weath-
er cocks, fickle and variable ; these are the
characters most necessary to-day to the
stability and progress of society.
Even With Her Cross-Examiner.
‘‘Now,” said the lawyer who was con-
ducting the cross-examination, ‘‘will you
please state how and where you first met
this man ?”’
“I think,” said the lady with the sharp
nose, ‘‘that it was-——’
“Never mind what you think,”’ inter-
rupted the lawyer. ‘‘We want facts here.
We don’t care what you think, and we
haven’t any time to waste in listening to
what you think, Now, please tell us where
and when it was that you first met this
man.”’
The witness made no reply.
‘Come, come,’’ urged the lawyer.
demand an answer to my question.
Still no response from the witness.
‘Your Honor,’ said the lawyer, turning
to the Court, ‘I think I am entitled to an
answer to the question I have put.”’
“The witness will please answer the
question,” said the Court in impressive
tones.
“Can’t,’’ said the lady.
“Why not ?”’
‘The Court doesn’t care to hear what I
think, does it ?’’
“No.”
“Then there’s no use questioning me any
further. Iam not a lawyer and can’t talk
without thinking.”’
So they called the next witness.—Cleve-
land Leader.

Influence of Wealth on Morality.
On the influence of wealth on morality,
the Breslau statistician, Neefe publishes an
interesting paper, in the Zeitschrift fuer
Hygieine and Infektions Krankheiten. As
a criterion of the means, the amount of the
rent paid was taken. In 1896 there died
of every 1,000 living persons who paid a
rent up to 300 marks, 20.7 ; with a rent of
301 to 750 marks, 11.2; the rent ranging
between 751 and 1,500 marks only 6.5;
the average being 17.6 persons. While ac-
cording to these figures the morality of the
Breslau poor population is three times as
large as that of the rich, it is in reality
much larger, because the deaths not in-
cluded therein (servants, journeymen, per-
sons who died in the hospitals, etc.) may
be assumed to belong almost exclusively to
the first class. The greatest difference in
the morality was, of course, shown by the
babies ; more than half of those born alive
belonging to the poor population died in
babyhood, while the deaths of babies of the
rich amounted to only one-sixth.
Young Mr. Ware’s Measles Took.
Late in January a Bangor boy named
Ware took a boat from Bucksport for Sar-
gentville, where he soon fell sick with the
measles, a disease which has not visited
the eastern shores of Hancock county for
some years.
Immediately after young Ware was taken
sick measles became popular. Spreading
from Sargentville to Deer Isle, they in-
vaded every school district, causing the
schools to close and keeping the directors
busy for weeks. Moving out in wider cir-
cles, the disease swept through Sedgwick
and Brookville, and crossing the Bagaduce
invaded Castine. The Eastern Maine
Normal school was in session, and nearly
every student either came down with the
measles or hurried home to have the dis-
ease where good nursing was handy.
Up to date more than 400 persons have
had the measles, and two have died from
the disorder.—Bangor Daily News.
Hypnotizing a Hen.
“Did you ever hypnotize a chicken ?’
asked Police Commissioner Kind the other
night. ‘‘It’s dead easy. Just catch your
hen, place it on the floor in front of you
with its tail toward you. Take a piece of
chalk and draw a straight line, beginning
at a point just under the hen’s head and
extending a foot and a half or more.
‘‘The bird will fasten its eyes on the
chalk, and in a twinkling almost she is un-
conscious of anything but that line. You
can cuff and kick her about as much as you
please. but her gaze will immediately re-
turn to the chalk line. When I was sail-
ing before the mast it was not an unusual
thing on a calm day, when there was no
work in sight, to see a dozen or more sail-
org, each with a hen in his hands, drawing
chalk marks. It is the most perfect case
of complete hypnotism I ever saw. Just
try it some time if you don’t believe it.”

THE GREATEST DISCOVERY YET— W.
M. Repine, editor Tiskilaw, Ill., ‘‘Chief,”
says : ‘“‘We won’t keep house without
Dr. King’s New Discovery for consump-
tion, coughs and colds. Experimented
with many others, but never got the true
remedy until we used Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery. No other remedy can take its
place in our home, as in it we have a cer-
tain and sure cure for coughs, colds, whoop-
ing cough, ete.’” It is idle to experiment
with other remedies. even if they are ugred
on you as just as good as Dr. King’s New
Discovery. They are not as good, because
this remedy has a record of cures and be-
sides is guaranteed. It never fails to
satisfy. Trial bottles free at I. Potts

PLoor HUMORS.
DON'T NEGLECT YOUR HEALTH AT THIS
SEASON—TAKE HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA
AND PURIFY YOUR BLOOD.
Spring is the season for cleansing and renew-
ing. The indoor life of winter leaves the blood
impure and deficient in health-giving qualities.
Spring humors, boils, pimples, eruptions, are re-
sults of this condition. Hood’s Sarsaparilla ex-
pels all impurities from the blood and makes it
rich and nourishing. It cures all spring humors,
overcomes that tired feeling, creates an appetite,
strengthens the nerves, gives sweet refreshing
sleep, and fortifies the system against disease.
BLOOD WAS POISONED.
“I have been poisoned every summer for years.
Last summer the poison came out on me worse
than ever before. I would frequently be awak-
ened during the night by the itching. I would
scratch myself, but instead of being relieved the
trouble spread to different parts of my body. I
made up my mind the poison could not be cured
until my blood was pure and then I decided to
take Hood's Sarsaparilla. While taking the first
bottle I felt relieved from the itching. I kept on
taking the medicine and it has entirely cured
me. Tam nowon my fourth bottle and I can
sleep soundly at night.” William Ran, 3126
