MAKING ROADS IN CUBA.
MANUAL FOR USE OF TROOPS IN
CUTTING MILITARY HIGHWAYS.
General Koy Stone, Who Has Studied the
Inland, Says Good Use Can He Made
of the Guava Tree and the Pulm— Of
Value to Army Kngineers.
Brigader-General Roy Stone, now
on staff of General Miles, Ims pre
pared a manual for the use of troops
operating in Cuba, covering tbo most
expeditious means of cutting military
roads through tlio tangled tropical
vegetation, swamps and underbrush
through which the, Amorican Army
must push its way in Cuba. General
Stone was tho road expert of the Agri
cultural Department, but on the
breaking out of the war Reoretary Al
ger asked that he be assigned to tho
military service, with a view to mak
ing his expert knowlodgo available in
road-building through Cuba. He has
made a study of Cuban soil, vegeta
tion and timber growth, and, besides
a personal acquaintance with tho
country, he has collected n largo num
ber of photographs, maps, etc., which
show in detail tho topography and
vegetation of the islnnd. With this
material in hand, Goneral Stono has
framed his manual for military roads
in Cuba, which lias, within the last
few days, been distributed to com
manding officers for their guidance.
In opening roads through Cuba
General Stone makes good use of the
guava tree or bush, which grows in
luxurious abundance throughout tho
islnnd. He gives diagrams by which
this is to bo cut, and the boughs
bound upward, making a enmpnet
t'oll about the size of n small log.
Those guava bundles, known as fas
cines, aro laid lengthwise, one row of
bundles lapping over nnother, like
shingles. These nre successive lay
ers of this bound together, making a
serviceable roadway strong enough fbr
troops and even for field ordnance.
Tho manual lays down the following
general plan for Cuban road-making.
"If tho road is an important one it
should liavo about sixteen feet of
travel-way, and, to allow for ditches
on either side, the ground should be
cleared at least thirty foot wide.
Running through a wooded country,
tho advance or clearing party should
bo equipped with axes, machetes
bush scythes and a few forks, and
should be instructed to cut and clear
away all vines, weeds and small un
dergrowth and to bind up into bun
dles nil small bushes less than an inoh
in diameter at the ground, those bun
dles to be kept for repairs of roads.
If there is heavy timber, the second
gang, equipped with axes and saws,
will chop out all trees, leaving the
roots in tho ground, nnd saw the trees
into such lengths as will allow tho
logs to bo hauled or rolled off the
roadway."
It is then provided that the third
gang, equipped with axes, hatohets
and twine, will cut the bushes nnd
make the fascines, or bundles, to be
used for tho roadbed.
Tho fascines nre placed lengthwise,
butt end forward, and over them is a
covering of earth about throe inohes
deep, lincli additional layer of fas
cines has n layer of earth. The road
bed is so fnid as to be solid in itself,
with <litche3 on each side, and with au
easy slope, so that a wagon may be
driven off without npsetting. In
crossing low, swampy ground, a layer
of poles or cdnos is first laid leugth
w iso to the road, and the fascines on
top, While these bush roads might
seem insecure, they are, as a matter
of fact, more solid than an ordinary
oorduroy road, the bundles of bushes
being crowded together With oroivbars
until they lie with theßolidityof baled
liny.
Goneral Stone's manual nlso gave
directions for grubbing out timber
whero excavations are to be made, for
making sluiceways, and for tho im
provement of sandy roads. Sugar
cane, which is abundant in many parts
of Cuba, is suggested as one of the
best layers for improving the sandy
tonds. The cane 1h laid upon the sur
face and ,oovered with about two
Inches of sand, with alternate layers
upward. Another Cuban growth util
ized for this purpose is the palm tree.
Tile fiber from the bark of this tree
makes ono of tho best materials for
Improving sandy roads. Warning is
(fiven against tho use of pine noodles,
as thoy work to the surface and are
liable to be burned off.
I The manual is illustrated by a unm
oor of diagrams, which show in detail
how those military highways through
Cuba can be best constructed.
The tinnglilng Plant of Arabia-
The laughing plant grows in Arabia
and derives its name from tho effects
produced by eating its seeds. The
natives of tho district whero the plant
jrows dry these seeds and reduce thorn
io powder. A smalt dose of it causes
the soberest person to act with the
boisterous exoitement of a madman for
about an hour. At tho expiration of
this timo exhanstion sets in, and the
excited person falls asleep, to wake
liter several hours with no recollec
tion whatever of hie antics.
A Now Uiio For the Phonograph.
The phonograph is now used to
loach foreign languages. With each
phonogrxph tho -pupil receives a text
book and twenty loaded cylinders.
Each lesson in the book is arranged
in tho form of questions and answers.
The pupil, ready to begin, puts the
cylinder of tho first lesson in the rad
ohine, the tubes in his ears and starts
tho phonograph.
Discovery or tlio Caroline Islands.
The CJnroline Islands werc probably
first discovered by Alvaro do Saavodra,
in 1528. In 1548 Kusaio was visited
by Lopez do Vallalobas, and in 1080
the Spanish Admiral Lazeano gave
them their names in honor of
Charles Hi.
HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
To Ileetore Dace.
To restore laoe that has beoome quite
yellow, and yet should not be as white
as itmiißt surely become through wash
ing, make a suds in a (.iass jar, drop
the lace in and stand the jar in the
sun.
Stalneil Fliigerii,
The housewife who does much of her
own cooking or preserving must often
have her fingers stained with the juice
of berries, penches, etc., and it may be
well to remind her that the fumes of
sulphur will remove most fruit stains
from the fingers. Put a tiny lamp of
sulphur in a tin plate, pour on a little
alcohol, and set it on fire. Hold the
finger-tips above tho flame, and the
discoloration will disappear.—Har
per's Bazar.
Decorating With a Shawl.
A pleasing effect was achieved in the
decoration of a music-room recontly,
on tho occasion of a wedding, by the
use of an India shawl. It was a large
anil fine one, with a pink centre. This
was spread over the grand piano, nnd
on the centre stood a pink jardiniere
filled with apple blossoms. At the
side of the piano in n tall Chinese jar
of pale pink and green were massed
more blooms of dogwood anil apple
blossoms mingled.
A Jliunly Clothespin Apron.
A clothespin apron is a convenience
that onoe known will always bo at
hand. Bny a yard of denim, take a
strip off the eide for n belt, hem it on,
tho bottom, turning the hem on thai
right side. Turn up the bottom of
the apron for about afoot; stitch down
each side a couple of times, divide into
three pockets, and stitch between eacla
two or three times. Gather to a bel%
that bnttons. Theie is 110 chasing foil
clothespins when hanging out clothee
with this apron on, and when you take
it off and hang it up, the pins are
satisfactorily disposed of.
The Cozy Corner.
The popularity of the cozy corner
has increased the use of cushions to
an extraordinary oxtent. Formerly
there was one to n sofa and two to a
large lounge,one to mocker andtwo to
an easy ohair. On the floor wero two
or three hassocks. The style to-day
demands four or five for a lounge and
five or six for a sofa, twelve or more
for a oozy corner, three or four for a
rocker and a dozen for the floor. All
should be made with romovable covers.
Floor cushions should be covored
with velvet carpet, cotton plush, Can
ton flannel or dark Turkish toweling.
All others should be covered accord
ing to the owner's fancy, but the colors
and patterns should be different, Tho
favorite size is twenty-fonr inches
square and five inches thick. They
are royally comfortable and brighten
a room greatly with their bright tints.

Tho Caro of Cut Glnna.
Glass ware will last longer and loofc
bettor if the following hints as to its
caro and preservation are regarded.
Tepid water, pure soap and a stiff
brush nre the first essentials. After
washing and rinsing, place the cut
glass in boxwood sawdust. This will
absorb the moisture in the cuttings.
Next remove the sawdust from the
plain surfaces with a soft cloth. By
following those direction the original
clearness and sparkles of the glass
will be maintained.
Shot should not be used in carafes,
cruets, toilet articles and similar ar
ticles. It is very apt to scratoli the
glass and thus mar its beauty. Fro
saio potato peelings nre the best aids.
Let thorn remain in the glass waro
over night anil then rinse out with a
little tepid water.
A very importnnt point iB to avoid
sudden ohanges from extreme heat to
extreme cold, and vice versa. A
pitcher or tumbler which I.as been filled
with ice water, a tray Hint has been
used for ice cream, if plunged at once
into hot water will bo apt to crack.
Use tepid water, and tho risk of
breakage is avoided.
The sudden change from beat to
cold is just as dangerous. Glass ware
should never be removed from n
closed cabinet where it has become
heated nud brought immediately into
contact with a cold substance. Cool
the glass for n time in water be
fore subjecting it to the extreme tem
perature.—Philadelphia Record.

CO NORTH, BALD-HEAD.
Somn May MU* Finding Gold In thf
Klondike. Hut All Will Grow Hair.
Tho experience of lihoderiek Dim
Smith, who recently returned to SUB
Francisco from the Klondike region
with a big budget of experience, quite
a little sum of money, and a head of
hair which almost qualifies him to
take an engagement as a Circassian
girl in a circus, is of especial interest
to a large contingent of his fellow
men and women. For he it known
that Bhodericlc. before making his
perilous way to the Arctic regions,
though otherwise pleasing to look
upon and still on the sunny side of
forty, was the owner of a hairless
head.
It is said, too, that this baldness
Was the real cause of his starting ont
in search of gold, since he spont all
of his patrimony in the purchase of
hair restorers, and it was necessary
for him to do something, no matter
how desperate, to retrieve his for
tunes.
Be that as it may, he went to Alas
ka, and after a two yoars' residence
there has returned a modern Samson,
and he declares that the transforma
tion is entirely duo to the rigors of
the climate in that quarter of the
globe.
"Tho intense cold kills all the
germs and microbes," he asserts,
"and stimulates the scalp, aud na
ture does the rest," and he proudly
exhibited his lion-like mane as proof
of what nature can do when she takes
a fancy, unassisted by washes or oils
or unguents.
P. J. MciLeod, who has spent
twelve years in Alaska and the North
wost, although he has not the pleas
ure of knowing Mr. Smith personally,
and did not, therefore, see the sprout
ing of his special crop of modified
epidermic cells, still corroborates bis
story as to the virtnes of that clime as
a hair produoer.
"My hair was always black," be says,
"so I cannot speak from personal ex
perience, but the way the dogs put on
hair up there is a caution; they get as
shaggy as Shetland ponies, and now
I think of it, I never saw abald-headed
fellow anywhere around there. To
tell the truth, they all look, after they
have got to work, as though a razor
and a pair of scissors were far more
needed than n hair restorer, and a
missionary barber could do good work
amoug them."
G. H. Henderson, who has a claim
on Dominion Greek and has been up
in that vicinity for two years, heartily
echoes Mr. MeLeod's statement.
There is something about the intense
cold, he asseverates, that makes the
hair on jnan and beast flourish
mightily. Dandruff and fulling hair
are unknown in that'part of the coun
try, but ho thinks that ( the fact that
people aro too busy to "bother with
their hair" has something to do with
its unusual growth.
"A man who is vain enongli to put
his time in trying to increase tho thick
neck of his hair," in this .gentleman's
decision, "will generally, manage to
worry off what little belongs to him
naturally. He will scrub' it aud put
fertilizer on it. and lay awake nights
thinking about it until his head is as
hot as a fnrnace and burns the roots
of it to ashes, and end by getting up
the shiniest kind of a bald head, but
up there it is too eool to fool that way
and the hair gets a chance for its
life."
L. S. Woodstock, an Alaskan of five
yearß' standing, puts in his testimony
in regard to the efficacy of good freez
ing weather as n hair rejuvenator or
resurrector, and another gentleman
recontly returned from the Arctic gold
fields, who not having "made his
pilo," as yet, is averse to having his
namoin the papers, says ho is seriously
considering the practicability of estab
lishing a hair sanitarium in some
reasonably accessible spot, where lis
will, for a satisfactory consideration,
entertain bald-hoaded guests.
Position in Sleep.
There is a wrong way and a right
way to do everything, and generally
either way is born of one's habits. It
is often quite as easy to do tho thing
in tho right way as in the wrong.
Why not, then, try to acquire tho
oorrect position in sleeping? Insom
nia is sometimes induced by nogleet
of this, and everybody knows what it
is to get out of bed unrefreshed and
cross because one has got twißted in
one's sleep. A medical writer oh this
subject, after considering tho objec
tions to lying flat on the back, says:
"It is better, therefore, to lie on the
side, and, in the absenoe of special
disease rendering it desirable to lie
on tho weak side, ro as to leave the
hoalthy lung free to expand, it is well
to use the right side, because when the
body is thus placed tho food gravi
tates more easily out of the stomach
into the intestines. A glance at any
of the visceral anatomy will show this
must be. Mnny persons are deaf in
one enr and prefer to lie on a particu
lar side. But, if possible, the right
side should be choson. Again, sleep
ing with the arms thrown over the
head is to be deprecated, but the posi
tion is often assumed during sleep,
because circulation is then free in the
extremities and the head and neok
and muscles of the chest are drawn
up and fixed by the shoulders, and
thus the expansion of the thorax is
easy.—Philadelphia Press.
The Air of the Maiunioth Cave.
The air within the Mammoth Gave
of Kentuoky has a uniform tempera
ture summer and winter of fifty-four
degreea fahrenheit. The cave may bo
said to breathe twioo a year, inhaling
dnring the winter and exhaling dur
ing the summer. This breathing of
the cave, and the purity of the air
and its freeilom from germs, are
among the most intoresting problems
to be studied. By what process the
air in the cave becomes sterilized re-j
mains to be determined.

The Hoys Out For Fun.
Neither of these old chaps is under

of tho fact that men are only boys

When ho was Righted, trying to keep

prossod a linger of his other hand on
his lips to enjoin silence. The old
gentleman under tlio treo was puzzled
for a minute. Then he sprang from
tho hammock with youthful agility,
gave a sweep of his arm that mo
tioned his crony to the alley behind
the barn, and said: "Hanged if I
don't," as he stealthily entered tho
houso by the kitchen door.
. When he went slowly through the
backyard as though he had nothing
special on his mind, liis coat tails
bulged auspiciously and his eyes had
a glint of mischief. The two saluted
in whispers, slipped around half a
block to get a car, giggled and talked
under their breaths till they reached
a well-known point up the river, and
there went in swimming, diving,
whooping, swimming doggie and turn
ing turtles as nearly as possiblo as
they had done nearly lialf a century
before. They dried tlieir scant hair
carefully, stowed soap and towels out

to prevaricate if questioned. Next
day they shook hands, carried them
selves more erect and congratulated
eaoh othor that they still knew their
boyish tricks. —Detroit Free Frees.

Mrao. Adclina Patti first made her
debut as a Ringer in Cuba when she
was only fourteen years of age and
Ftill under the care of' her father. The
family was poor, and placed its hopes
on the remarkable voice of little Ado
liua. Tho opportunity to introduce
her came at a concert of the Filar
monia of Cuba, and though the debu
tante was awkward, timid and inex
perienced, her success was complete.
Mile. Patti was deliriously applauded
nnd promptly christened "the wonder
ful child" by tho tuneful Cubans, and
then began tlio prima douim'f. brilliant
career.

An unusual sight was witnessed at
Qranbrook, In Kent, out* summer after l
noon. A BV.arm of bees settled on a
pillar botf at Frlzley, mid soon after
wards a second swarm located them*
selves lifcide the box, the whole colony
following the queen through tho aper
ture provided for letters. Every prep
aration was made for the capture of
the swarui upon the arrival of the
rural postman to clear the letters; but,
owing to the awkward position of the
winged visitors. It was found Impossi
ble to hive the bees until night, when
they were smoked aud safely housed.
Owing to this unusual Incident, tlio
I (iters posted before the bees took pos
session of the pillar box were delayed
for several hours.
