.THE PARKS OF HAVANA.
Th Wrmla City I. KairyLml fc; Night.
A Grrat Onldnor I'arlor. -
All Havana u in the park or oaf s or

gi- down it wx ms a ihnugh from overy
tguiirwr com thousands for the nightly
onling, The Wiwu, planaa and cult
dai7.lt with light flaring from Uio quaint
M iif bimiera and frame, and tlie
brilliant colorwl glans, ki unireraally and
richlv rowl in decoration, adds a beauty
aiiilcliarm tocoiintlras pleasing arenee.
There in manic every vrlitro. Here in
a half lighted, richly decorated balcony
ts a group of men and women chatting
in low, mimical tonea, or listening to
! notj of the guitar. In this en
trarta, with a court filled with rich lights,
plants, flowers, and quaint corridors be
hind, in an almost oriental background,
are nprhana several families seated half
out upon the street, and among tliem
omewliera is music Hers, there and
everywhere upon the houtetopa, among
luxuriant gardens, are merry crowds
inging, playing or dancing. The half
lights of tlie night hide and reveal,
fconnd and light aud shadow mingle until
the ear and sight are ravished by what
it beard and seen, and wliat is listened
for and heard in thought. Melody in
word, laugh and song, and from musical
inatruruenu of every nature and in every
place nothing loud and sonorous, but
everything toft and dreamful pulses in
harmonious chords above and over and
through the street. i
Tht whole city is as a fairyland by
night. It is the more bewildering to the
- beholder, because there are in it one
muidedness and onebeartedneas that
make melody and gayety not only with
tlie well conditioned, but as truly within
tlie grimy walls of tbe charcoal man's
little stall; down at the waterside among
the swarthy botcros; over there in Keg
Is with tlie toil scourged stevedores and
lanchwos; up Balquarte, way among the
labor bent lavenderas; and in every odd
and moldy corner where human life
lasts in layers, it lights np all with a face
as free of care as if ever unknown. All
tins cornea to' you, and you know the
fart You leave these who like to quar
rel over the involved ethics. But all this
time, when an entire great city bat sud
denly resolved itself into a vast pleasure
garden, so completely that its innuenoe
teems even to have touched and trans
formed, without exception, tbe direst
conditions, tbe gayer and more restless
elements swarm tlie paseos and plaxaa,
and no European city presents more bril
liant scene. But in tins one city of the
world, this single rich blossom of the
tropics, all its people, in these hours, are
pleasure givers and pleasure receivers,
and that, ton, whatever the individual
condition. There is none so high and
haughty, or low end listless, as to think,
or dare, refusal of tins individual conces
sion, or gift of word and way, to this
universal something we would be quirk
to call sine inn our good selves true evi
dent of true lighUieartedneei and joy.
I do not believe the world has elsewhere
such a condition and study,
lu these nightly carnivals fully 10,000
equipages, tilled with richly attired and
merry occupants, may be seen. During '
tlie early evening tlie favorite drive is
along Calle Anclia del Norte, by the sea.
Later the CaUado de la lieina and the
Viueo del Tucon are sought. As the
night advances the great center of this
brilliant life and (usurious activity is in
the vicinity of the larger city parks, to
which the naseos and the Pr&do lead,
where military bands discourse the lively
or sensuous airs of Bpain. Here throng
boat of pedestrians; but, instead of tlie
rudcrow and churn r usual in such con
courses in other cities, every frequenter
of the locality only intensifies tlie every
where maniiek ciiirairous courtesy and
charming consideration that so dis
tinguish them. It is as though here
were a mammoth reception of tlie courtli
est of men and women. Indeed, it is the
great outdoor parlor of great city,
where every city is a noble guest. In
ilie pauses of tlie music promenading is
continuous. It would not then be uncom
mon for you to see at one time, and in
tlie one place on the globe where that is
poSHible, 10.000 women of surpassing
beauty, of wonderful winsoiiieness of
marvelous grace. It is not until some
dine after midnight that tlie crowds seem
to diminish; for at some hour of the
evening every gentleman and every
cenora and senorita in the city makes it a
social obligation or pleasure to be present.
But from midnight until morning, by an
unwritten law, the parka and paseos are
in possession of less dense gatherings,
though an mteiiBor and far more quea-
' tionsbh character of pleasure seekers.

Cloth Mads Woo-Iuflammabie.
The usefulness of tungstate of soda In
imnartiiur. the quality of non-intuunma-
bilitv to various materials is now largely
utilized. Cloth, lien soaked in a solu
tion of this kind, say of 20 per cent., and
allowed to dry, will not burst into a flame
when brouuht into contact witn the Bre,
the simtile effect of the latter being to
cauie tbe cloth to slowly carbonize or
smolder. In preparing linen and light
musha garments in this manner tiro solu
tion It usua lly mixed with the starch, and
the addition of about 8 per cent of phos
phate of soda to tlie tungstate is also said
to be an improvement. Wood can be
treated in a similar manner, but it is
rather an expensive proaess when under
taken on a considerable scale, and as it
does not render the wood really incom
bustible, is not important. New York

Sa arMwte.
Mr. Qarman, in lectnre before the
Doston Society of Natural History, gave
an interesting synopsis of sea snake or
ana serpent literature, besides exhibiting
specimen of the real serpent to the as
tonished audience. The professor first
gave an historical resume of the earlier
literature upon the subject, going back
to the time of Portoppidan and review
ing it down to date. Further on in his
lecture he gave figures of some of the
queer marine monsters which have from
time to time frightened sailors and oth-d
era almost to death, deftly drawing each
of the figures on a blackboard specially
provided for the occasion.
Mr. Uarnian also spoke of a most re
markable recent discovery which hat
brought to light a species of shark gen
erally believed to hare become extinct
many thousands of years ago, the re
mains of the animal being now found in
the rocks of the Devonian system. He is
of the opiniou that this recently discov
ered tea tiger is the original of more than
one blood curdling sea serpent story.
The length and general outlines of this
should befossiled shark are such as to
cause any one except a bom naturalist
to take it for an immense serpent, an
opinion which would, of course, be
heightened by viewing dorsal exposure
of the creature through glass in a
troubled sea.
Professor Garman does not discredit
sea serpent stories, however, and is of
the opinion that there are many slimy
monsters lying far down npon the bot
tom of the sea, the like of which human
eyes have never yet beheld. St. Louis

FmfeMionml Mea May Advertise.
I am firmly of the opinion that there it
a profitable field for development in the
direction of advertising by professional
men. After giving the subject a good
deal of thought and weighing the ob
jections already raised and to be antici
pated I have a settled conviction that
the lawyer, the doctor, the dentist, the
architect or any other professional man
can call to his aid the limitless power of
printers' ink, and advertise in display
type in the advertising columns of the
newspaper or magazine to his advantage
and without loss of self respect or public
estimation. This question has received
the attention of professional men as well
as the advertising fraternity, and, with
due respect to those who have discussed
it, I maintain that they have failed to
approach the subject from its true point
of observatim.
I am aware that custom and sup
posed unwritten law, which is fostered
by the exclusive and super-dignihed ele
ment of all professions, frown npon the
mere mention of this subject. It does
not follow that their ban of displeasure
and sarcastic comments in any manner
reflect upon the enterprising and inde
pendent man, who, confident of his own
worth, his professional ability, moral
and social equality, trampling on cus
tom, appeals to the common sense of the
public for the correctness of his acts and
motives. A. L. Teele in Printers Ink-
A l'ert Barber.
A Persian barber works in a style
very different from that in vogue in this
country. A typical shop was a square
room, with one side open to the street
In the center was a tiuy bed of flowers
sunk iu the floor, from the middle of
which rose an octagonal stone column
about three feet high.
Tlie capital of the column formed a
receptacle for the water in which
the barber dipped his hand as he
shaved bit cu-:omer's scalp. In Persia
they do not lather. Tbe shop was very
clean. In two recesses stood four vases
filled with flowers, and the implements
of the barber's art scissors, razors, lan
cets, baud mirrors, large pincers to ex
tract teeth, branding irons to cauterize
the arteries in amputating limbs, strong
combs, but not t hair brush, for that im
plement is never used by Persians.
From the barber's girdle hung a round
copper water bottle, his strop, and
poach to hold his instruments. In his
bosom was a small mirror, the presenta
tion of which to his customers is sign
that the joo is finished and that the bar
ber waits for his pay. The barber shaves
the heads of his customers, dyea their
beards, pulls their teeth, blisters and
bleeds them when ailing, sets their
broken bones and slutmpoos their bodies.
