CUBA'SGREAT SMUGGLER
WHY THERE ARE TWO HOUSES IN
HAVANA WITHOUT A PARALLEL
‘They Are the Marti Fish Market and the
Tactn Theatre, and They Were Built
Under Strange Conditions by » Notori-
was Contrabandist-His Bargain.
There are two structures in the city
of Havana said to be without a paral-
lel in ail the world. These are the
Marti Fish Market and the Tacon
Theatre.
The former ix a building between
one hundred and fifty and two hundred
feet long. The roof is supported by
huge arches which rest on marble pil
lars. Through the entire length of the |
centre extends a broad counter of
white marble. One side of the struc.
inves is open to the street and the op-
posite side to the harbor. The history
of its origin is not the least interest.

Early in the thirties of the present
century, the greatly commended and

i opoly, somewhat on the plan of his a
nish power in the island of Cuba,
With grest energy he attempted to
correct abuses from which the island
suffered. One of the most flagrant
whieh met his notice was the whole-
sale smuggling carried on in the port
of Havana ander the very nose of the
port officials. There was a duty of ten
dollars a barrel on flour brought into
the island, and many other articles
were highly taxed, vo that a very com-
fortable living offerad itself to any one
daring and ennning enongh to run the
risk <f smuggling. The
bays and finely ected harbors of
the West Indies afforded shelter for
the swift eraft of the smugglers.
Tacem determined that stopped it
should be, and that at once. So, com-
manding the presence of the officers of
the fleet, he gave orders that the long,
lay corvettes in the harbor should
hoist sail and proceed at once npon 8

by a bold, daring fellow called Marti.
All indications pointed to the fact
that Marti was sn nnusnal man, pos

he promised to build the finest fish
market in the world, and at the end
of twenty-five years to return his
privilege of monopoly and the fish
raarket to the Government,
Tacon accepted the proposition,
seeing in it his opportunity to hold
control over Marti. And for a quarter
of a century the Havana market was
supplied with the finest of fish caught
by smngglers, absolutely safe from

“Pouring Of on Troubled Waters,”
Lieutenant Charles M. MeCarteney
writes an srticle on ‘Ocean Storms”
for St. Nicholas, In deseribing the
great hurricane off Novs Beotis on
August 29, 1831, Lientenant McCart-
jeney says:
The Indiana wis kept dry by the
{ dripping of oil from both bows; and
althongh tremendous seas were ran-
ning and breaking, they econld not
come on
This was certainly a most practical
tilustration of the oid saying as to the
“pouring of oil on troubled waters —
a proverb as old as the Bible, but
only very recently applied, thanks to
the Hydrographic Office of the United
States, and now very generally fol
Jowed by seamen the world over. It
was an American also (Redfield) who
first thoroughly found out and ex-
pisined the true character of these re-
| volving storms, and to him all seamen
are forever indebted.
In using oil, it is astonishing how
small a quantity will saffiee—just a
quart or two, in 8 bag stuffed with
oskum, hung over the bows, and al.
a
sea, where it spreads out in a thin,
water. Over the film the wind slips,
as it were, aud has no power to bank
the water up into waves which woald
break over the ship. Hundreds of re-
ports are on file in the office, attesting
the marvelous results of this simple
agent of safety.
Eyeginsses and Spectacles,
“You say you never ware spec-
tacles!” said the near-sighted man.
**Well, if you ever put on a pair you'll

“There are, to be sure, people who

the shade which its broad leaves far-
nish to the soil during July and’
Augnst helps to preserve moisture
quite as mach as to take it from the
soil. Whenever there 1s a cool night,
a great amount of dew falls on the
broad backwheat leaves, and this
dropping to the ground moisteus the
surface soil, and supplies the shallow |
roots with the water needed during
the day. Wherever buckwheat is har
vested enough grain is scattered to
make # volunteer crop the following |
spring, which can be piowed under in |

the following season. The only trouble
with keeping orchards always in buck. |

light, and being left naked every win |

roots nearest the surfaces are badly
injured. Where buckwheat is grown
