It seems that Gen, Fitzhugh Lee
has or will resign his commission as
consul to Cuba, giving ;ts his nason
that he is not authorized to protect
American citizens because of Olney’s
red tape. We predicted, when Lee
was appointed, that all interests of
the citizens of the United States
would be protected in Oaba, because
we know the man, and knew that lib
would be over ready to protect his
countrymen and would demand of
Spain that strict justice he would ac
cord her, and when he found that
he coutd not do so he would hitve no
party to the slipshod policy <>f the
government. Well done, gootl and

ways thus. The no harm faults of
the human race .are overlooked while
the outrageous crimes are held before

EFFECTS OF TEA SMOKING,
JMiyaifcljMw Alarmed at tiie Growth of tho
Habit Among Woini:n.
Physicians and specialists on nervous
troubles are treating numerous cases of
extreme insomnia and nervousness in
young women without disclosing to
them that their condition is the result
of practicing the new vice of smoking
From tea cigarettes. The habit is increasing.
observations of its effects a west
side physician declares that “a tea oigiv
rv tte is a genuine brain excitant. Auy
one who uses it and yet doos not work
with her brain would go iia’f crazy With
nervousness, but with those who do
brain work it is different, for tho stimu¬
lus produces strange intellectual activ¬
ity.
‘‘After » couple of green tea cigarette*
a poem, for instance, will almost write
itself, I am told by one of my literary
patient*. The effect of the tea cigarette,
while stimulating to the hiam and its
flow of thought, acts as a {fine sedative
to tho rest of the body, quieting restless¬
ness, uneasiness or actual pain. The
after effects are bad if they have not
been worked off by unusual mental
Work.
“At some houses green tea cigarettes
arc handed around after dinner, and I
know three actl-esses of considerable
reputation who give tea smoking parties
twice u week. One woman, to break off
this habit, on which she Inis expended
nearly $10 a week, has lately volun¬
tarily placed herself under private re¬
straint. She had concealed her habit
from her husband by using ail artfully
contrived cigarette case. It resembled a
bunch of keys, each key containing one
cigarette.
“So much'lias the habit spread that
several tobacconists anti druggists are
keeping tea cigarettes in stock for regu¬
lar customers. Tho active chemical prep¬
aration of tea is theine, just as caffeine
is of coffee and nicotine of tobacco.
When theine is administered to a frog
or a small animal, it is found that it
chiefly influences sensations which caf¬
feine or coffee does not. Iu larger doses
theine produces spontaneous spasms or
convulsions, which caffeine does not.
This is, in fact, tho ultimate effect of
smoking numerous tea cigarettes, Dually
producing fits or convulsions.
“Tlieiue also acts as a local antes
tlietic, quieting painful nerves. Green
tea contains much more theine than or¬
dinary black tea. Bo you see that tho
habit of smoking tea cigarettes is.terri¬
bly pernicious. ’ ’—New York Press.
Neccsult}’ U»D Motjier of Invention.
“If a man keeps his eyes opon, he
secs many a funny thing while riding
on street cars, ” said a regular patron of
the Peters avenue line. “If yon will
take a ride on this line some dark
night, frequently ahead -of the car
you’ll see a light waved across the track,
and if yon watch closely you will sco
the motonnaii begin applying tho brakes,
and tliedar will stop, and a smiling col¬
ored gentleman will board tho car and
laughingly say that be got this car to
stop fo / him. I found, upon asking a
conduiJor one day, that the negroes in
this part of the town have caught on to
the fact that as that part of tho city is
black at night the motormen of the
swift moving cars cannot detect their
presence on the track in sufficient time
to stop their cars for them, so they, fig¬
uratively, ‘liang out a light, for tho car
to stop,’and it seems to work both to
the satisfaction of tho colored population
and the motormen on the cars. ” Neces¬
sity is the mother of invention, and it
seems our colored brother lias hit upon
a scheme to offset the lack of lights on
those streets back of town traversed by
electric cars.—Now Orleans Picayune.
X Knj’s aud Diamonds,
One excellent use to which the new X
rays can tv put should interest women.
It seems that by tlicir aid one can read¬
ily determine whether diamonds are
real or false, for tho rays pass quite
through real diamtmds, leaving them
transparent, and not at all through false
ones. A real parure when photographed
would show only the mounting, but in
a false one nil the stones would turn
out black. Strangely enough, the X rays
will not penetrate glass. Eyeglasses, if
photographed, come out black. This
proved useful in the ease of a Vienna
glassworker who got a bit of glass into
his finger. By the aid of the rays it was
discovered, extracted mid the workman
cured.—St. James Gazette.

THE NAME CAME BACK.
And For Awhile t1;T* ?J«;ctor Could Hot
£<*«; tire of It.
It is a familiar (oi.tn.tibii among
psychologists that -';i incident once
thoroughly presented to the human
mind cannot be effaced from the mem¬
ory. In this couWcctfcni Dr. Cyrus Hum
Jin, the well knmvb missionary to Tur¬
key and the founder of Robert college,
Constantinople, is reported by the Wash¬
ington .Star as telling a humorous story.
Among Or. Hamlin’s friends and
substantial helpers was a Philadelphia
gentleman, wirose name could not be re¬
called by the doctor, who was then in
Turkey. Every ineidt ut connected with
their interviews, even to the street and
number of the house in which his bene¬
factor bad lived, was as plain to tho
doctor as if the events had occurred but
yesterday, but to save his life he could
not think of the gentleman’s name.
As time went on this failure of mem¬
ory caused him serious annoyance, and
ho adopted all sorts of expedients to
bring back the name. He would take the
letters of the alphabet one at a time and
think over all the surnames he had ever
heard, but to no avail. Then in his
imagination he would start, down the
street* where his friend had lived, enter
the house, go through the ceremony of
introduction and repeat word for word,
as nearly as he could remember it, the
conversation which had taken place be¬
tween them, but still he could not recall
the name.
When, after 30 years, he returned to
his native land on a visit, he took the
trouble to go to Philadelphia, in order
to settle the question which had been
I puzzling him so long. He visited the
house, but found only strangers, who
could tell him nothing of tho people
| who had lived there so many years bc
p,re. go finally Dr. Hamlin abandoned
tlio search, thinking that licrc at last
was a case where something had teen
thoroughly presented to the human
mind, and as thoroughly effaced.
One night, after he had returned per¬
manently large to this country, he attended a
dinner where Were several dis¬
tinguished psychologists. During the
evening the conversation turned upon
the subject of memory, and the well
known scientific principle was discussed,
This was too good an opportunity (o be
lost., and Dr. Hamlin proceeded to relate
his experience at. length, as ail example
of the opposite kind.
He was, of course, listened to with
great interest, and as lie approached the
end of his story lie said, with great im¬
pressiveness:
“Gentlemen, there was an incident
presented to my mind more than 40
years ago, and I have not been able to
think of the name" of Captain Itobinson
from that day to this.’’
When bis climax',was greeted by a
hearty burst of laughter, the worthy
doctor locked round in-great astonish
in cut,' for he thought lie had told a
pretty good story and Could *eo nothing
in it to provoke mirth. It was some time
before til© truth Cf the mutter dawned
..
upon him.
Rock Pictures In Oregon,
W. B. Whitteniore while in Alturas,
Or., recently discovered some remark¬
able hieroglyphics about 15 miles north¬
east from the nor th 'end of Warner val¬
ley on the edge of wliat is locally known
as the’ “desert” in Lake county. Mr,
Whitteniore says the hieroglyphics had
been cut with, a sharp instrument iu the
surface of tho .hard basaltic rock. They
cover the face of the bluff fora distance
of about three miles and consist of pic¬
tures of Indians with bow's, arrows and
spears, besides deer, antelope, dogs aud
w olves, geese, ducks, few inis and reptiles
of various kinds. Intermingled with these
animals arc characters which, of course,
he could not decipher. He says that the
execution of the pictures was very good,
and he is satisfied that it could not
linvo been the work of ordinary Indians.
Throughout the entire distance the char¬
acters and pictures are in rows.
The Indians of the vicinity have no
knowledge of the meaning of the hiero¬
glyphics or of the people who ages ago
chiseled them on the surface of the
rocks. From tho description given, tho
picture writing bears a close resem¬
blance to that found in Mexico and Cen¬
tral America. If this supposition is true,
a careful study might reveal to 'the
arcliteologist some insight into the origin
or wanderings of a dead and forgotten
civilization. —Cor. Ban Francisco Call.
It Was Lucky.
‘ ‘Hurry, ’ ’ slie said reproachfully.
“Well?” he returned apprehensively,
for there was that iu her tone that made
him fear tlio worst.
“It is evident from your breath,” she
went on, “that you have been drinking. ’ ’
“Weir/*’ ho said again for want of
something better to say.
“When a mere girl,” she explained
regretfully, “I made a solemn vow that
lips that touched wine should never
touch mine. ”
“Oh, is that all?” ho said with evi¬
dent relief. ‘ ‘ If you were a little more
conversant with the price of things in
that lino and with the details of my sal¬
ary, you wouldn’t hesitate a moment on
account of that vow. But it's mighty
lucky that you didn’t include anything
but wine in it. ”—Chicago Post
Cost of Expert Testimony,
A movement is on foot in New York
to do away with or in some way regu¬
late the taking of expert testimony in
court trials. The question of expense is
a serious ouc, this feature of the Marie
Borberi trial having cost $10,000, while
$02,000 was expended in the trial of
Dr. Meyer, the poisoner, a year or two
ago. As high as $300 a day has been
charged by medical experts.
Beethoven could play from memory
all the preludes and fugues contained iu
Bach's “Well Tempered Clavichord.”
There are 48 preludes and the same
number of fugues, and, as each is in
the most abstruse style of counterpoint,
the difficulty of tins performance will
be appreciated by every musician.

FAIRIES OF TIIE EGO.

| SCOTCH PIPERS AND DANCERS IN
STREETS OF LONDON.
They Appealr Only on lireary
They Have a Monopoly of .sidewalk
tertaining, and (totally Manage to Ha
All the Pennies Within Reach.
Out of the thick fog that hangs
the square comes the Scottish piper, and
with him tho Scottish dancer, both
in full Scottish regalia. Not since our
last ... foggy day , had I seen them. So ,
as I know they never appear in
\veather. Their friend and ally, the fog,
drives away the thunderous piano organs
which cmrse London, leaving to them
clear field. They come out of it playing
tuerrily; . , they .. disappear into it playing
merrily, but not until they have tamed
long enough to charm away our pennies.
Unbearable as the bagpipe music is
o any save the ears of the faithful it
fog m in a ScoSmirt^Tt Tous^'you
out of (he dull, sticky phlegm that the
soot laden fog imposes on you. It brings
you to the window of your apartment to
wait impatiently until the gay, swag

yellow curtains like living pictures at a
Uia s 10 V* •
The , , dancer earnest , wo rusty , swords .
he only thing about him hat is not

on the pavement. Meanwhile the piper
marches on straight ahead, swaggering
and blowing as if ho Were piper to the
whole Scottish people So forcefully
does he march that we fear he is going
to pass ns by for the wealthy household
em n. tho next street
Then suddenly he performs u half cir
cle, still playing and now marching with
ftmdcy steps, which show off Ins great
ssarrETiSMss the windows,
bows and smiles and
craves our wealth. If we are conscious
of a preconcerted theatrical movement
on the part of our canny, kilted friends,
it only re-enforces our admiration, and
jingle, jingle, jingle, go our pennies—
Americans’ . . ,. Frenchmen , . , s,Englishmen „ ,. . ,
s,
landladies , servants pennies! A bar
Vest of pennies, reaped by canny fingers
and put in ail extensive granary some¬
where in the most picturesque of all na¬
tional garbs. Still the fingers go up to
tlio feathered cap for a few more pen
nics; still the piper plays for a few more
kept up until the people in the windows
set their faces hard against any further
payment until goods are delivered.
Then the player takes up his position
on tlio sidewalk opposite tire side of the
street which has contributed most lib
etally, and tho dancer gives us—well,
what do you suppose lie gives? Not a
highland fling, of course. No Scot in a
kilt would be guilty of that any more
than a Scot in a kilt would mention
Bobby Burns ut the banquet of a Scot
tisll
But nowhere else is the highland fling
and the bagpipe quite SO attractive ., ,. as on
-fl London pavement when the fog is
thick and one must work by lamplight
at midday. The gayly clad piper who
summons the greatest trf Scottish bards
and his guests to dinner, and after they
aro seated marches solemnly around the
tabic , j-,___-,..,* splitting the ,, ears of X these .,
same
guests, has not one-half the poetry of
the piper of tho fog. I have heard tell
how the finest of Scottish dancers danco
around . fires _ in the ,. open a to amuse the
queen when slie is at Balmoral. She is
welcome to them. Though the piper be
a royal gamekeeper and the dancer a
royal gillie, I rest content with my
Scots who march out of tho fog and back
into it after they have emptied my peck
ets of pennies.
Another collection is taken before wo
may enjoy tho sword dance, which is
quite tho perfection of the dancing art
as the Scotcii know it. If that does not
get tlio last Of your pennies, the farewell
collection will. All penuies, all collec
tions, disappear somewhere in that
dancer’s kilt, though that dancer’s kilt
grows no larger. How he carries tlieni
—an English penny is as large as a sil¬
ver dollar—is a question, for after a
few collections the brawniest of hairy
legged highlanders could not dance un¬
der the weight of liis wealth. But I
have seen the dancc-r now and then take
a handful of something out of liis kilt
and put it in a pouch under the piper’s
pipo. Often not a penny is left in the
block. After the messenger boy, who,
being in a hurry, lias reclined on a stoop
for a little rest aud recreation, has part¬
ed with his last ha’pence the dancer
picks up his rusty swords, the piper
strikes up a tune and they march away
into the fog. In one foggy day they
must earn enough to keep them in Scotch
“whusky” until another foggy clay
comes. If it is possible for such a wicked
thing as a London fog to have fairies,
the piper and the dancer are they.*—

Pennsylvania Fox Hunting,
While there is a general impression
that Americans do not go in for fox
hunting as do the Englishmen, it is by
all odds the most popular winter sport
in Pennsylvania. There are, in the
southeastern counties, as fine packs of
hounds as can he shown iu England,
though fewer in number, and some
horses that hold their own against the
best of English importations over as
stiff" a country as that hunted by the
famous Quom pack, of which the Earl
of Lonsdale is master. At a recent run
150 couples of hounds were out and
about 200 riders. Just now there is con¬
sternation among owners of the Penn¬
sylvania hounds because of au outbreak
of rabies in the Strafford Hunt kennels,
which has necessitated the killing of
the entire pack of 25, many of them
dogs imported from noted English
packs. A rabid cur bit one of the
hounds a few weeks ago, and this dog,
after a recent run, attacked other occu¬
pants of the kennels. So all were killed
as a matter of safety. There is fear that
other hounds iu other packs have been
bitten, and that an outbreak of hydro
phobia throughout the hunting district
may follow. All possible precautions
to prevent this disaster have been taken,
aud hounds which have been exposed
are to be isolated foi a time.—New
York Times.

Paralyzed Him.
“Marriage,” said the young passen¬
ger, “marriage always steadies a man.
In fact, he seems to have more control
over himself.”
And the weary looking man with the
armful of bundles couid only say to
himself: “Control of himself! Great
Scott!”—Cincinnati Enquirer.

“What do you think of those auto¬
graph hunters, Noah?” asked Johnson.
“Autographhunters? Whatarethey?"
replied Noah.
