ART OF KEEPING COOL.

L&S90N8 LEARNED FROM LIFE IN A HOT COUNTRY—HOW TO DRESS, DINE, DRINK AND AVOID

OVERHEAT.

It may seem surprising, yet it Is none the Jess true, tbat the art of keeping cool is understood in Cuba a hundred ', times batter than hero. The very first thing tbat strikes us when we get to

Cuba is tbat all humanity seems to be bent upon keeping cool, and everything is directed to Chat end. We strangers In '0 our cloth garments are the only ones who are hot there. The natives look as cool as they feel. They look picturejquely cool. They wear suite of linen, of tbiti silk, of light weight white duck

drill, with light low cut shoes, silk or Lisle thread hose and undergarments bats made of fine straw or grass, that C«-*j do not appear to weigh an ounce. cannot give to a geatleman a clearer j.i Idea of bow cool they must feel than by saying that there is not such a thing to be had in Cuba as a shirt with a separate collar. You say tbat sucn suits of clothing as I describe, when we see them, look uushapely and even unsightly. So tuny because our tailors do notseem to know how to make thent and our ,, laundresses starch them too stiff. Ex peneuc'3 and practice would overcome that. Havana is a very dressy and lash-lon-fearmgcity. The tailors make those thin garments as stylishly andassbapely as our suits, lie women there do not dress so very unlike our own women tbat is to say American ladies dress more sensibly in summer than American men do. In both countries the result is reached by lessening the number and weight of uudergarments and donning summer silks or ether almost gossamer goods for outer wear.

The Cubans have a hot weather way of managing their basinessaffairs. Let no rone run away with the idea that business

:'-\"in

uavana does not amount to much. Havana has long been one of the great seaports and commercial centers of the world, the head of the sugar and tobacco 'trades, and the seat of an immense miscellaneous shipping Industry. There are many men and flrrus as busily en-

in

making fortunes che.e as every-

"whereelse. To begin with, the business houses are built to provide coolness by means of shade and air. They are more open than what we call an "open car," -yet can be closed as tight as any Wall 48^r6et bank. It is delightful to visit ^them. It is amazing to see bow oool the ineu at work in them all keep them-V1*'-'selves. The merchants and clerks quit 'J-J Ithelr beds at 5:30 o'clock, perhaps earlier jr.enjoy a bath, dress in a leisurely way. •5?^take

an(j

reach their counters una

THf'desks by 0:30 oclock. It is cool at tbat jtime in the streets, and tbey are not half as exhausted when they begin work as fL:we are. At 10:30 o'clock, under a sun-

or in a car or cab, they go home

,fcjagain to breakfast. Nothing short of tbe explosion of a powder magazine, which made them -forget themselves a few weeks ago, 'could Induce a man or boy among them to hurry. The onlv two hasty or excited .yimovemonts I saw In Cubia were on tbe "part of a young woman and a boy. The young woman was a ballet dancer in a oool open air theater, and was engaged

Jn tee-to-tuin movements lasting only a 'few minutes each night, for a high salary. Tbe boy actually ran in the open .sunshine—but then be bad stolen a sugar cane in the market and was afraid ho would be caught. Nobody ran after him, you may be sura.

On tbe way to breakfast the Havana merchant and clerk do not drink three beora and a cocktail, and at breakfast they do not demolish a beavy beefsteak /or plate of chops, or of liver and bacon, as we do the year round. *n tbe contrary, they are very partial to fruit tish. boiled, or broiled or baked broiled poultry or small birds, salads, omelets, oatmeal or rice, wine thinned down with soltzer coffee or tea. They take it easy at the tablet

At 4:30 or 5 o' 1 -ck, when tbe heat of the day Is past and tbe delightful, cool hours of evening are at band, tbe merchant and the clerk close tbe business places (all but tbe little retail stores),

1

and go home, or to the restaurant for dinner. And do tbey eat the solid meat, tbe stews, the gravies, the puddings ana pies of our bills of fare in July in New York? Ob, no! They wish to be cool and healthy and comfortable. They .suck tbe Juice of an orange or two and take a little thin broth or consomme soup, a little wine thinned down with "cold seltzer or water, some nice fresh fish, broiled bird of some kind and salad, or a slice of some sort of meat, well done, and then guava paste, or jelly, or fruit and cheese and coffee. (I admit that the sweetmeats and cheese are bad and there is too mucb coffee—but no one is perfect.)

At nigbt coiftei the recreation the billiard*, cards, dgara, theaters, parties, carriage rides, promenades, idle hours in the narks listening to the music of a band, courtship, companionship, sociability. At 10 clock or 11, coffee and bed for some bed without coffee for others. Bui do they not drink, you ask. Yes, indeed. They are addicted to soda water, lemonade, cocoauut water, limeopode, tamartud water, mineral waters, and all other beverages tbat cool tbe body by cooling tbe blood, and that are alight ly UxKtive. Among strong drinks, Vermouth is popular, Spanish wines and French dams are in demand, and tbe laboring people drink gin. Note the nature of these drinks, you who understand the subject. There Is reason in all of them. All except brandy. I forgot that. At night in the cafes, I saw several persons drink brandy. That is contrary to anything else they do. It is most unwise.

There are many hints In the above general observations of life under a burning sun. Dress for tbe season. It can »e done here as well as there and as safely, for the nights are cooler there. Beaktoa. one can put on a heavier coat at night. If need be. Don't hurry. Nothing is gained by it,

TAKING A PILL.

When a pill oomes within the charmed circle of a person's teeth tbe throat kicks. It puts up tbe shutter and closes the door. It apparently desires to go out of business. Tbe same throat may fke in chunks of nnchewable beefsteak as big as hickory nuts, and other stores for the interior department by tbe side of which a pill of the largest growth would seem an insignificant affair, but it draws the line at pills. It shuts up shop and says to you just as plain as can be, "You don't send any •pills past me if I know it." This action of tbe human throat in the matter of pills is very curious and mystifying to the ordinaly mind, and we wonder that

Matthew Arnold and other great thinkers have not given it more attention, and songbt to make clearer for the rest of us tbe reason why tbe human throat is thus apparently so unreasonable.

You get about eleven or thirteen of these pills, big smooth fellows rolling about in some sort of a yellow powder, and you go home and tase one of them according to tbe rules and regulations on tbe box. The whole family come into the room to see the performance, of course. They have taken pills in their time, and they know there is fun in a pill performance when tbey are spectators only. You probably say that you are not going to nave any foolishness with that pill you are just going to swallow it right down and be done with it. Then you take a pill out of the box, open your mouth, hold your bead back, drop in tbe pill and make seven or eight desperate swallows. The pill comes up smiling and with its yellow overcoat and a good deal of its nigh flavor worn off on your tongue, andyou look alittle disappointed. 8omeone who has bad a widerexperience than the ofbers with pills will tell you to try a swallow of water with it. All right. You're willing to take advice in this hour of need. You drop the pill into your mouth again and hastily drink a half a glass of water. Where is the pill nowf Oh, it is snug enough down by the side of your tongue. It didn't go down with the freshet. It is not travelling by water this season. "Try some grated apple," suggests the person with the advice on tap. All right, bring the grated apple. You are willing by this time to try anything that promises to deceive your throat to letting that pill through. It is covered nicely in the very center of a spoonful of grated apple and with a weak sort of smile you throw your head back, put the contents of the spoon on your tongue, and swallow— all the grated apple. The pill lingers for an instant' aoout the palate, aslf it bad forgotten the password, and then comes slowly up to the teeth, leaving a good deal of its individuality all along its track.

Now bread is suggested for a disguise for the pill. This is a good idea. Why didn't some one think of that before You chew up a whole mouthful of bread, put the pill in the middle of and make the greatest effort of your life in the way of a single swallow. But the result Is not satisfactory. The bread goes right along according to schedule, but the pill Is sidetracked—held for further orders. By this time a good part of your taste or a bad part of the pill 1b worn away, and you feel that you would know the rest of It by taste at any future time In vour life. Further, there are the marks of bitterness and woe. and hatred of tbe inventor

nets express them in the bosom of your sympathizing family. At last, just as you are about to give up In despair, some one suggests that tbe pill be smashed up and clothed in jelly. That is the best idea yet. Whv wasn't It thought of sooner The pill is smashed and clothed In yellow, and In a moment it has passed the guarded

{t

irecincts of your interior department, has gone at last, not in its origlual form, tut as a broken package, and when you realise tbat tbe performance is over your face lights up like that of the impecunious man, who, in the dead of winter, and at the dryest hour of a mighty dry day, finds a ten-cent bit in the pocket of a long-discarded vest. To many of us there is not much fun In taking a pill.

SITTING CROSS-LEGGED. M. Delaunay, of Paris, has been making extensive investigations upon the subject of postures In sitting as regards the extremetiee. He finds that the Chinese cross the left arm over tbe right, while Europeans cross the right over tbe left. Robust children cross the right over the left. Those who cannot work or ire idiotic do the contrary. A great many women crocs the left leg over the right. Among opera dancers some al ways cross the right lee over the left, but no one croeseo the left over the right habitually. Infants under throe years crew the left arm over the right, and when older, reverse tbe position. The Profenor finds that men generally cross the right leg over the left, and cites tbe statements of tailors that trousers are always worn more on the left skle, which bears most of the weight. Many conohwioue are drawn from these facts, the most important one being that the left brain develops before the right, bat finally the right predominates.

A WOMAN'S WAIL.

THE TROUBLE OF BEING A WOMAN.

It its a dreadful bother to be a woman, and do the business up in good shape. In the first place you've got to look well, or you're nobody. A man maybe homely and still be popular. Whiskers cover up the most of his face, and if he has got a large mouth nobody mistrusts it and if he wrinkles bad on hi« forehead, his friends speak of his many, cares, and of his thoughtful disposition, and tell each other that his wrinkles are lines of thought. Lines of thought, indeed 1 In all probability, his forehead is wrinkled by the hsblt he has of scowling at his wife when the coffee isn't strong enough.

A woman must always be 'In good order throughout. Her hair must be frizzled and banged as fashion demands, and she must powder, if she has a shining skin and she must manage to look pweet. no matter bow sour she may feel and she must hang just so, and her laces must be always spotless, and her boot-buttons all in place, her fingernails clean, snd she mustn't whistle, nor climb fences, nor stone cats, nor swear when she is mad.

She can't go out alone because ladles must be protected. She can't be a Free-mason, because she would tell all their serets, and everybody would know about the goat and the gridiron. She can't smoke because it wouldn't be feminine. She can't go co \rtiug because it is unwomanly. But she must get married before she is 25, or everybody will feel wronged. People will sigh' over her and wonder, and all the old maids and widows will smile significantly—and keep quiet.

It is a terrible thing to be an old maid —terrible! Everybody knows it is, and tbe women who are married to drunken husband*, and who manage to quarrel with them six days out of seven, will groan in agony of spirit over the single woman, and call her, "that poor old maid!''

It Is everybody's business whom a woman marries. The whole neighborhood put their heads together ana talk over the pros and cons, and decide whether she is good enough, for him. And they criticise the sharp of her nose, and the way Bhe does up her hair, and relate anecdotes of how lazy her grandfather was, and how her Aunt Sally used to sell beans and buttermilk.

A woman must wear No. 2 boots on No. 3 feet, and the mast manage to dress well on 75 cents a week and she must not be vain, and she must be kind to tbe poor, and go regularly to the sewingsociety meetings and be ready to dress dolls, make aprons and tidies for oburch fairs.

She must always have the masculine buttons in the family sewed on so that they never will come off, and she must keep the family hosiery so that nobody would mistrust tbat there were toes inside the stockings when they are on.

She must hold herself in continual readiness to find everything her husband has lost—a man never knows where anything is.

And when she has the headache, nobody thinks of minding it I A woman is always having the headache'! And if she is "nervous enough to fly," nobody shuts the door any easier on account of it, or tucks her upon the lounge with a shawl over ber, or coddle her to death, like a man likes to be cod|iedin such circumstances.

We might go on indefinitely with tbe troubles oeing a woman brings and if there Is a man in the world who thinks a woman has an easy time of it, why just let him pin on a pound of false hair, and go inside anew pair of corsets, and put on a pullback overskirt, and be a woman himself, and see how he likes it.

It acts at once on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, cleansing the system of all poisonous humors and restoring a healthy condition of those important organs. Do not be discouraged but try it.

DI8MT&8ED FROM CHURCH. Arkansaw Traveller. The first lot of coffins brought to tho state of Arkansaw created a sensation.

It bad been the custom to have tbe coffins made to order. None were kept on hand, and when a man died, the car-

Ssnter

came and took bis measure. The ret shipment was received by an old fellow named Biggs, a strict member of the church, and of suoh a gentle and qniet nature that be never shot a man. He always performed bis little social oeremonies with a knife. Shortly after the coffins came, the pastor of Biggs' church while on a visit to the old man, chandng te look in the "wareroom" exclaimed "Good gracious! Brother Biggs, who's dead "Nobody." "Well, what family of people lira going to diet" "None that I know of." "Then why have you made all these coffins "I didn't make them, they were brought on." "Then yon are waiting for people to die in order to sell your coffins 7" "Yes." "Look here, Brother Bins, it's all well enough to make a man's coffin, but to forestall the Intention of tbe Lord is carrying the thing a Uttle too far. The man who would speculate on death alnt the proper person to be a member of my church, so you needn't oo me around any more."

An old forty-niner says of gold-hunt-ing "Its the fascination of it. Lor', when you've stock It pretty rich, and can see yer gold right In front of var: when you're piling It up every half hour ortbe day, with a nugget now and again as big as a bullet to cheer you, and then when tbe evenin* comes and yoa com dollars

Reminiscences by a Tumbler— Dealing with a Cbwboy Audience— Whipped for Anclher's Fault.

TOMBSTONE,

June

16.—The

circus in

the Southwestern Territories is an Institution which probably would not draw very well in the older States, but it fills an Important place among tbe amusements of the frontier. Once In a while a big circus from the East makes the grand rounds out here, but the people are dependent for the most part upon the home-made affairs which make their pilgrimages In two or three freighters' wagons drawn by mules. Tbey are run ou the go-as-you-please plan, having no bills of any kind and making no public announcement of their approach. When tbey piched their tents the fact soon becomes noised abroad, and they stay where they are as long as business continues brofitable. In this way it sometimes happens that a lively camp may have a circus for weeks at a time. It does not take much to support one of these Bbows, for tbe company is invariably small and never high priced. The Mexicans furnish most of the managers, performers and auditors as well, though that class attend occasionally. The Mexican is tho only person iu'this country who will sit still night after nigbt and listen to jokes older than some adobe houses without a protest. Although the majority of the people traveling with these shows are far down in the social scale, it sometimes happens that a very prepossessing man or wor»au is found with them. The life the performers lead is indescribably bard, and in some respects dangerous, but, once .embarked on it, they usually stick to it to the end.

Dan Dement, an old-time tumbler, who is invariably introduced in tbe ring under some nigh sounding Mexican name, was here the other day, and, in the evening, when surrounded by a 'party of boon companions, he gave a few details of bis experience on the trail, as he called it. Being recognized as the best performer in the company with which he was last associated, some sort of control of the ring was given to him, and in a general but informal way he was looked upon as master of ceremonies. When there was no ground and lofty tumbling to be done, ne was the ring master, and when tbe charming Senora Somebody was to dash madly through paper baloons, he was the man who held one aloft on one side of the ring, while the clown officiated in a similar capacity on the other. At the close of the exhibition be would tend bar, hunt up some disturber of the peace who need whipping and chastise him, or if it was time to move on, be would lend a hand with the canvas, and drive one of the mule teams out of town. He said: "It is a curious life. Now I presume some of you think our audiences are not critical. That's where you make a mistake. They are critical, and, what's more, tbey are not afrala to express their disapproval in ways which are not always pleasant, and are usually anything but safe. I was with a company in Soccorro once. We bad five or six men and two women in tbe^party, and our tent was big enouh to seat maybe two hundred people and leave room for tbe bar. A good many cowboys and rustlers were In town, and they bad been making more or less trouble all day. In tbe evening the show was going on about as usual, with half a bouse present, perhaps, when iu marched the cow-boys all drunk and quarrelsome. As they filed in I saluted them, and motioned them, to tbe man who was operating the band organ to start up the music. He did so, and I made my obeisance again. Noticing tbat there were not seats enough on one side for all of them, I said In a gentlemanly way tbat If our guests would walk around to tbe other sde they would find plenty of room. I hadn't any more thau got the words out of my mouth when I noticed a stampede among the first comers, and saw that the boys were forcing tbem over to tbe other side at the poiuts of revolvers. Tbe charge was soon made, and just as quiet restored and we were about to proceed, a big fellow, with a voice like a buzz saw, stood up on the top seat and yelled: 'Now, mister, you go on with this 'ere show without any more fooling.' "I was a little nervous, though I had faced many such ciowds before. I finished some tumbling that I was engaged in when they entered, and, as tbe

the crowd the spokesman of the cowboys again mounted the seat and demanded in aloud voice that that part ef the programme which had been gone through with before they entered should be given again. I demurred and told tbem that it would be impossible to do it that evening, and that we were not to blame if they had missed it. They insisted and one or two of them began shooting holes In the canvass and trying to snuff out tbe lamps. When I saw tbat there was liable to be trouble I told tbem to wait awhile and we would give tbe extra performan,-» for their benefit. I gave tbem the 'grand entree,' at which their pleasure was great a trapeze act, and announced tbat we would conclude with a Uttle bare-back tiding. The riders came out, and the clown toddled around cracking jokes and making ready for the riding.. Before tbe horses started one critical fellow on a top seat obtfQfvod 'Say, I don't like that clown. He's got off two gags that I heard five yean sgo In Las Animas. Thar cant no man rub old gags in on me and live.' "Well, «r, what did the cuss do but give an unearthly war whoop and yell, 'Let's dean 'em out!* We skipped for tbe dressing room and got our guns, but the boss came op just then, and, finding out what the trouble was, ordered tbe tent down. We had the canvass fiat In less time than it takes to tell it, and you ought to have seen thoae coyotes crawling out from under it, spitting mud and half dead fr««m suffocation. Tbey west down to some of the saloons, analbegan to make ready f«r another attack bnt tbey got too marry with other things, and by tbe next dav we were far away. "Over in Trinidad once, after we bad been there about a week, we noticed three or four fellows who bad been following us for a month or more. Tbey seemed to be together always, and from their looks we came to the conclusion that tbey meant to make us trouble, though we could not tell In what way. The nigbt we broke op in Trinidad we toahd out all about it. Just as we were p**»iri«g the canvas on one of tbe wagons these fellows showed op. Tbe boas asked one of them what be wanted, and was knocked down with a whlffietree. The canvasman happened up just then, and sot a belt over the bead with tbe same weapon. I happened to be the next

victim. I did not get it through m* what the trouble was until one of the men had knocked me down two or three times. Every member of the company was done for in the same way. They whipped us in detail just as if they bad arranged it that way, though it was only their luck, of course. When tbey got through they left us, and we went on the trail after dressing our wounds.

The next day those same barbarians overtook us on the highway and whipped us a Uttle worse than before in a pitched battle. It Is unnecesary forme to go detail. They crippled the

DOSSinto

and the clown and all of

ns had mack eyes and sore heads. When we got to our next stand the clown bad to go Into the ring on crutches and the people thought it was a clever gag. If they had been near enough to smell the arnica, they might have understood the situation a little better. We did not find out for a lone time what ailed our assailants, but itleaked out In a month or so that they were brothers who bad been swindled a year before on a three-card game run In connection with a circus, and had sworn vengeance on the next one tbey came across. We happened to be the first one that came that way, and we were com polled to take the medicine.

A SOAP CAPER. From the Boston Courier.

A very successful swindle, operated by street peddlers, is what is technically known as the "soap caper." For the purposes of tbe swindle two fellows will ouy a lot of cheap soap and cut It up into small pieces, which are daintily perfumed and nicely wrapped in fancy colored paper. This is ail the stock in trade necd*i, except a generous allowance ol cheek. One of the fellows dresses ip like a dude, and generally conduots himself so that everybody to

himself ui

whom he appeals makes fun of him. Perhaps he does sell a few pieces of the soap, for it appears to do what is claimed for It, but he purposely makes such an asq of himself that nobody wants to trade with him. Soon, when he is boasting of bow much soap he can sell in a day, a common looking fellow in the crowd calls out, "Well, why don't you sell It then and at once they get into a wrangle, which is ended by the plain fellow betting that he can sell more In ten mlnutos than tbe proprietor of the stand cadrsell In b&lf an hour. The bet is generally quite a large one, and, as symphtby* is entirely with tbe common-looking foHow, the crowd comes to his support, and he rapidly sells out his share of the soap, and finally also disposes of the greater part of the other's packages. It Is needless to say tbat the fellows are confederates, and are playing into each other's hands. Two good operators can make tremendous profits by working this game, and they run no risk of being arrested.
