quires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur

foundation of the disease, and- giving the
patient strength by building np the cons

FEAR OF RAIN IN CUBA.
The Bvfl Xflbet of Water U Kt a More
Superstition There.
The average Cuban is dreadfully
afraid of rainwater. He believes that
drenching in a rainstorm, followed by
exposure to the rays of the ran, pro
duces fever—not necessarily yellow fe
ver, but an attack something similar to
what is known as swamp fever in Mis
sissippi or chagres tn the isthmus of
Panama.
The same belief prevails in Central
andSonth America, bnt in a greater
degree. On both coast lilies of Nicaragua
a light shower ia the signal fora gen
eral scampering indoors and a disin
clination to oome out again until the
sky is perfectly clear. Up on the high
plateau on which the city of Caracas in
Venezuela is situated and where there
should be little dr no fear of fever the
natives arc afraid to get even their
faces wet At the first appearance of a
rainstorm the cab drivers, of whom
there are more than 400, put up oilcloth
screens in front of them and direct the
course of the horses through a couple of
peepholes, avoiding oven a slight splash
in the face.
AU strangers from northern latitudes
visiting Caracas are advised that not
only is rain dangerous, bnt that it is
not aafe to take a bath within ten
days after their arrival. Men accustom
ed to a daily plunge find this advice
difficult to follow, especially in such a
warm climate. Most of them disregard
it and find that it does them no harm,
and that it is a superstition based upon
the laziness that follows a residence in
an atmosphere so enervating that the
dogs are too tired to get out of the way
of the hone if the hone wasn’t too
tired to step on them.
The Cuban fear of rain, however, is
based upon experience and isnot a mere
superstition.—New York Press.
Swappln* TBlephonre.
The following story comes from the
Grand Rapids Press and has to do with
a man and a woman who are employed
in different offices in one of the large
buildings of that city. Each office has a
telephone, but as it happens one is an
instrument belonging to the Citizens*
company, the other a Bell instrument
One day the man had occasion to use
the Citizens* line and stepped across the
hall to the lady’s office.
“Have you a Citizens* phone?** he
asked, and she replied in the affirmative.
“Well,” he ventured: “I’m a citizen.
May I use it?"
Why, of course he might use it, but
inwardly she was inclined to envy his
ability to stand up and assert his citi
zenship in this way, for some of her
womanly propensities were of the “new
ish” sort An hour later she balanced
accounts with him.
“Have you a Bell telephone?” she
asked on stepping into his office. He did
not try to deny it
‘•Well, I’m a belle. May I use it?’
The Howell Torpedo.
Commodore John A. Howell, who
has just been promoted to the rank of
rear admiral, is the Inventor of a self
propelling torpedo that differs in sev
eral respects from the Whitehead. The
chief novelty of the American system
relates to the mode of driving the screw.
Whitehead stored compressed air in
a chamber in his torpedo and placed in
an adjoining compartment a small en
gine which should be operated thereby
at the right juncture. Howell employs
a heavy flywheel, which is put in rapid
revolution, just before the torpedo is
launched, by connecting its projecting
axle with a steam engine that is entire
ly independent of the torpedo. The
Howell system has been improved since
it was first patented in 1871, and it has
been extensively used in the United
States navy.
The Rarest Bird.
The rarest bird in existence is a cer
tain kind of pheasant in Annam. For
many yean its existence waa known
only by the fact that its longest and
most splendid plume was in much re
quest by mandarins for their headgear.
A single akin is worth |4OO, and the
living bird would be priceless, but it
soon dies in captivity.
Uses of the Fan In Japan.
The uses of the fan are many and
various in Japan, where it is carried
by men, women and children. A but
terfly shaped'f An in the handi of the
umpire at wrestling and fencing matches
is made to express a number of messages
perfectly understood and promptly at
tended to by the combatants.
Ocean waves have on a number of
oocasionß dashed over the tops of light
houses which are 160 feet high. As a
wavs in the open ocean is accompanied
by a depression as deep as the wave is
high, a ship in the trough of the sea
encountering such waves would be
banked by hills of water, if the term
may be used, 300 feet high.
