Slender, grncoful Cuban maids, with smoothly-plaited tresrs, black ns tho raven's wing, large, lustrous, dreamy, black eyes, clear, pale complexion re sembling tho waxen tint of tlu lily, have their pretty heads lllled with dreams of lovo before they quit the schoolroom. Their peculiar training, restricted sphere, ns well as early ma turityfor In the tropics a girl blooms Into womanhood In her thirteenth or fourteenth year may bo the reason why their thoughts turn to lovo before they have discarded their dolls, braids ami short dresses. The strict vt'toh maintained over the tender buds, the cast-iron rules of etiquette which pro hibit them from too great an Indul gence In athletic sports or outdoor life, which n northern maid enjoys, pre cluding romantic Ideas and rendering her less susceptible to the tender pas sion which Is fostered by a secluded existence, may be the reason why Cu ban girls look forward to matrimony as a releaso from these Irksome 'ionds. Tho romantic manner In whicn court ship is carried on tends to keep alive their Illusions for lovers usually walk tip nnd down before their lndy b.'t's dwelling like a sentinel on duty, be cause they are debarred from calling on a maiden until formally engaged, and then they can only see hor In tlu presence of the family or e.iha.ig. tender nothings under the Argus eyes of a mammn, who keeps strict watch over her offspring. Alany years ngo no gentleman was permitted to touch a lady's hand, but lie would bow deeply before her, while nowadays shaking hands Is even more common than among our own people. It used to be height of Impropriety for a bride to be seen until the expira tion of eight days utter tho wedding, and she would keep In strict seclusion during that period, while now the bridal couple do not shun society. One of the customa still prevalent is that no gentleman ran escort a lady as far as tho next corner, although his hair were snowy white, if she were not a member of his own fnmlly. However, greater intercourse with foreign nn tlons, more extended travel for Cu bans are cosmopolitan have tended to modify many of their customs. There Is a peculiar feature In Spanish law which favors lovora. Provided a suitor can support a wife, no matter how low his social condition and how Inferior to that of the girl ho loves, If she Is willing to marry lilm In spite of her parents' opposition he con appeal to law, tho Judge removes her from her own homo to a friend's house and the marriage takes place. Divorce is un known in Cuba, because the Romun Catholic church does not sanction di vorce, although separation Is allowable In extreme cases. However, neither party can remarry until death releases the survivor. In accordance with Spanish law, no man attains his ma jority until he is 23, and up to that period he cannot mnrry without his parents' authorization. Ladles Weekly. TOHACCO PIPES DIAGNOSED. Mcdlcnl Prelcrcncu lor Clny Over Wood Imitation Mouthpieces Tnboocd. From the Lancet. If tobacco smoking Is justifiable at all on hygienic grounds, It Is generally conceded that tho pipe Is the least In jurious means. Hut tobacco pipes differ considerably In material and shape, both of which must be Important fact ors in determining the character of the smoke. Thus there is the cluy, the meerschaum, and the vnrlous wooden pipes, the briar, cherry, or myall. Next to the tobacco, therefore, which should always be pure and free from added flavoring, an expedient which Is re sorted to far too commonly nowadays, probably in many Instnnces to cover an Inferior quality of tobacco, the best kind of pipe Is a point to be consid ered. Even assuming that he Is smok ing good tobacco, the smoker knows how different in character the smoke Is when drawn from a clay or a wooden bowl. There Is probably a scientific explanation of this fact which must have some bearing on the noxious or Innocuous character of the smoke as sociated with other products of com bustion. A soft day Is Invariably cool smoking, because the acrid oils ob tained on the destructive distillation of the tobacco are absorbed Instead of collecting In a little pool, which must eventually either by the volatilization or by mechanical conveyance reach the mouth. A particular plpo "smokes hot" not necessarily because the tem perature of the smoke is high, but be cause It favors the passage by one of these means of the oils Into tho mouth. Ateerschaum is another porous ma terial. Again, an old wooden plpo or briar, so dear to inveterate smokers, becomes "smooth smoking" because the pores of the wood widen and so absorb, as Is the case with day and meerschaum, a large proportion of the tobacco oils. Thus an old plpo "sweats," as It Is termed that Is, the oil intrudes Into the expanded pores of the wooden bowl and at length ex udes. Similarly, a hook-shajied plpo must be better than a pipe the bowl of which is on tho same level hh tho mouth, for tho simple reason that In the former a considerable quantity of the oil Is kept back In tho U-shaped pari of the pipe, while In the latter the oil travels easily down the stem. Kbonlte stems are In general objection able because they commonly spoil the true llavor of tobacco smoke. This Is most probably duo to the sulphur of the ebonite combining with the vola tile oils In the smoke. We know In stances where ebonite stems have pro duced distinctly objectionable symp toms In the throat, most probably for tho rcaon Just given. Rone or real amber makea a much more satisfac tory stein, or tho pipes should be of wood throughout. Amber substitutes, and especially celluloid, should be dis carded entirely as dangerous, while (ho llavor of camphor which these Invari ably communicate to the smoko forms a very unpleasant combination. Pipes of speclnl construction cannot bo re garded with much favor, such ns those which nre utd to be hygienic and usually contain n so-called nicotine nbsorber. Those Bmokers who require such nuxlllnry attachments hnd better not smoke nt nil. As a matter of fact tobacco yields little nicotine In the smoke produced on its partial combus tion, it Is mainly to oils of a tarry and ncrld character that tho toxic symptoniB of tobacco smoking nro duo.

"I will not go Into the details of why I was there," said tho halo old capital ist, "except to say that I was acting for a largo eastern concern and trying to find a man who had betrayed nn Im portant trust. "There was a big snowstorm raging In tho Sierras when I reached tho llttlo town near them and put up at the primitive hotel that offered food, lodg ing, drink nnd a proper care for my horse. Conventionalities did not obtain out there, and during the evening I be came acquainted with a woman who was Just from the east.

Thirty-six hours af ter I started I Mumbled Into the camp through sheer Intervention of Provi dence. With men and mules we made our way back, und a happier reunion you never saw.

It Is said by some that we owe the fife "ear-piercing," as Shakespeare calls It to the Swiss, and Sir James Turner, who busied himself in writing on military matters, names it the "Al lemalne whlMle," says Chnmber's Journal. In France It wns employed at least as early as 1531, In which year It was ordered by Francis I that each bind of 1000 men wns to have four drums and two fifes. A few years later In Kngland, we find "drommes nnd ffyffes" Included In the muster of Lon don citizens. Shakespeare refers to the musician, not the Instrument, when he speaks In the "Alerchant of Venice" of "the lie squealing of the wry-necket life." An old writer observes Indeed, that a "fyfo Is a wry-neekt musician, for he looks away from his Instrument." About tho reign of James II the flfo lost its popularity for a time, Sir James Turner observing: "With us, any cap tain may keep a flfcr in his company and mnlntuln him, too, for no pay Is al lowed him perhaps just us much as ho deserveth."
