No w ner does one step from a
trara'tfcan a flock of uniformed por-
pensive, but it will be less so when ters come skating across the marble
floors to grab a bag or parcel from
one's hand to carry to the front
door in anticipation of a tip.. And
as soon as one gets clear of them
his ears j*re greeted with a harsh
cry of "cab! cab J" by the agents of
another concern that is sometimes
linked up with the railroads. Or
before leaving you may chance to
enter a washroom, only to find the
soap and towels in custody of an
attendant with a stipulated charge
for this and some other conven-

to reduce the cost will be to com-

steamer
a weird experience, recently,
during a voyage from Singapore to
Fremantle, West Australia. When
off Mount Semru large volumes of ,
smoke were noticed issuing from its
summit, which even to the naked
eye gave evidence of an active vol-
sano, and which, on inquiry, proved
to have been, inactive for several
weeks. When the Paroo was in the
Madura straits an inky darkness set
in and throughout the night a dense
shower, of fine dust settled over the
sea, making it painful to keep a
lookout Dust continued td fall, and
soon the vessel was covered with a
layer of fine powder. To add to the
strangeness-of the scene the sea be-
came brilliantly phosphorized, and
alarmed sea birds in large numbers
alighted on the steamer, and -jit was
not until gfter eleven hours of
steaming that the atmosphere
cleared. ^

There are close to 12,000 Chinese
in Cuba and the census of 1907 re-
corded the fact that 40 Chinese
■women were inhabitants of Cuba.
fBefore Cuba became a republic it
cost every- Chinaman who entered
$2 to get his entrance ticket. Now
Cuba bids him welcome with little
expense.
He has to furnish a photograph
of himself, and stand inspection
material. This, in ^ turn, threw j station. The system employ^ by

TENNY80N-8 CLAY PIPE.
The solan geese are so fond of
collecting materials for their nests
that they do not desist from the
habit even when they are about to
abandon their nests for the winter
migration. Off the
land, one day, patches of straw bed-
ding were seen floating, and al-
though the birds were on the eve
pf departure they gathered bp ev-
ery wisp as though they bad their
nests to build, and in tbe same
place "they-, were seen collecting sea-
weed every day.
SUCCESS IN SIGHT.
"I can't see why I should attempt

Tennyson was an unwavering
devotee of the clay pipe. "I take
my pipe," he wrote to a friend in

When invited on a visit to Mr.
Gladstone in-1876, Tennyson wrote:
"As you are good enough to say that
you will manage anything rather
than lose my visit, will you manage
that I can have my pipe in my own
room whenever I like?"—London,
