CUI1A.V MAIDS AND MATRONS.
.Strict Etiquette Observed In Their
Rotations Midi Men.
From Lesllo's Weekly.
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

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.

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."
