LIFE IN A, SEMI-TROPICAL PARADISE
WHERE QUIET RE‘IGNS.

Where You Con Sit Out of Doors All
the Year Round—The People Live in
Indolent Ease Amid Beautiful Sur-
roundings, Oblivion: of the World.

The first impression of Bermuda is one
of brilliancy. The sunshine is so bright,
the limestone streets are so clean and
hard and smooth and white, the trees
and hills are so green, and the white
stone houses, with their very roofs
whitewashed, are so dazzling that as we
draw near all of this, we begin to re-
member Columbus when he first sighted
the new world. Nearer yet we discern

_ the group on the wharf, and it gradually
separates itself into British soldiers in
their scarlet and gold uniforms, English
sailors in their blue and brass nautical
dress, colored people (of whom there will
be seven to five white faces everywhere) ,
horses, carriages, and queer little carts
drawn by donkeys about the size of deer.

The second impression Bermuda makes
upon the traveler is its quietude. It is
not only that after the indescribable roar
and din of a great city, with its cable
cars, its raih‘oads, its hurrying crowds
and ceaseless tramp of feet, the village
stillness of Bermuda would seem strange,
but that Bermudeans have low, soft
voices and their inflections and articula-
tions partake of the soft vowel drawling
cf the English and the consonant
dropping of the negroes. The truckmen
at the wharf drive their horses without
vociferation and the donkey boys never
raise their voices to objurgate their little
beasts. Disputes or loud talking of any
kind is almost unheard.

The newcomer sits on a hotel piazza
commanding a view of a busy street,
where pedestrians move easily along the
middle of the broad, smooth, clean, yel-
low highway. It is flanked on one or
both sides by stone walls overhung with
brilliant morning glories, which remain
open all day, flowering cactus, roses
or other flowering shrubs. The
drivers of the horses and donkeys
give foot passengers the right of way,
and the observer notes that the whole
busy scene is almost as noiseless as a'
pantomime. How delightful to be able
to sit out of doors the year around!
How wonderfuny soothing to the lacer«
ated nerves of a city dweller to be sur-
rounded by people who are always phy-
sically comfortable and contented, and
consequently gentle-voiced and pleasant-
mannered; It is like heaven to be during
'January in a place where there are no
bursting waterpipes, no sulky furnaces,
no insubordinate servants, no grip, no
broken cable cars, no half-frbzen, half~'
starved socialists. -

It is astonishing how soon the new—
comer adapts himself to the easy-going
life of the Bermudeans. The city man
of the States, who had the morning
paper brought to him before he awoke,
and gulped his breakfast and rushed for
his car, bolted his dinner and went at
high pressure all day, and was troubled

. with insomnia and nervous prostration,
can be seen here in the middle of the day
placidly contemplating the gyrations of
a hermit crab, or reading a newspaper
whose immediate successor will be due
in the next week’s steamer. For the
Bermudean has no news. He does not
want it. If he had it he would keep it
till .it was stale. There are two weekly
papers on the island and nothing is pub-
lished in them but what is handed in
two days in advance. If any person of
consequence is ill—and all such people,
Bermudeans believe, live either in En-
gland, its colonies, or in the United
States—and any resident of the island
feels his languid curiosity stirred as to
whether the distinguished invalid is dead
or no, he goes out and looks at the near-
est appropriate flag, and if it is not at
half mast he knows all he cares to know.

The roads about Bermuda are the won-
der and delight of visitors. They are
formed of a coraline limestone, which is
smooth and clean and of a beautiful
cream color. This stone is so porous
that, though the streets may be flooded
and the gutters run like little rivers, yet
when the rain ceases in an hour the road-
way will not even be damp.

The houses of Bermuda are generally
one story, built of white stone,
with a great deal of piazza and num-
berless jalousies. or blinds, which are
hinged at the top and project outward.
The charm of these houses is the gener-
ous size of the rooms, the ample grounds
surrounding them, and, above all, the

various and always levely sea view ,
which, owing to Bermuda being an isl-
and very hilly and deeply indented with

'0 bays, every villa can boast. The resi-

dents all have names for their residences,
in true English style.

In many ways society here has adopted
the best- points of English etiquette and
the finest traits of American manners.

is necessary to bring letters of introduc-
tion to obtain social recognition, but

‘ society extremely pleasant, and having.

its own agreeable characteristics and
customs.'—Chicago Herald. '

The Deadly Green Drink.
The fundamental principle of absinthe
is a resinous substance derived from

‘_wormwood. This resin, with a number
_}of essences made from aromatic plants,
‘ . Constitutes the famous French drink

'which is so poisonous that a tablespoon-
._ fful in a pure state is almost certain to
ӎ-Lcause convulsions to an inexperienced

é‘aléxarinker, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo-

rat. It is believed by physicians that

Thu nafllesnuke Flag and 1:..- Origin.
One of the most common devices used
on the American flags during the early
part of the revolutionary struggle was
an embroidered“ rattlesnake above or be-
low the legend “, Don’t tread on me !"
The origin of this design has been
traced to a remark made by Ben Frank-
lin. At the time the flag was adopted.
England was shipping her criminals to

. America, and turning them loose on the

defenceless colonists. After several mur-
ders had been committed by these un-
welcome immigrants, Ben Franklin
(some say in a joking spirit) suggested
that the colonists retaliate by sending a
cargo of rattlesnakes to the mother coun.
try, and turning them out in the gardens
of'the nobles.

After the snake had actually been
adopted as an emblem, and had appeared
on the flags of several of. the colonies,
Franklin defended the device on the
grounds that the rattlesnake is found
oflfif-in America; that all serpent-3’ em-
blems were considered by the ancients
to boa-symbols of wisdom ; that his bright,
lidlféss eyes signify vigilance; that he
never. attacks without first giving fair
warning of his presence; that his rattles,
w‘hile distinct, are so firmly joined that
they Cannot be separated without being
ruined forever, and that as he grows
older the rattles increase in number, as
it Was to be hoped the colonies would.
Indeeed, this idea was made use of in a
flag device which represented a rattle-
snake with nine joints, each joint let-
tered. with red silk. The head was
marked “.N. E.” (New England); the
remaining sections “N. Y.,” “N.J.,”
“Pa,” “ Md,” “Va,” “N. C.,”- “S.
C.” and “Ga.” This curious standard
was discarded for the one made by Mrs.
Ross in Philadelphia in 1777, a flag
similar. to the United States flag of to-
day, only with fewer stars.—St. Louis
Republic. _____'_____ 4

Littlejdens That llIade Men Rich.

“ While the path of the inventor is
generally strewn with rocks instead of
roses,” said a well known patent lawyer
to a New York AdVertiser reporter,
“sometimes he strikes an idea that, in
sporty language, lands him on Easy
street for the present, and eventually lo-
cates him on Plush avenue. And the
strange thing about these ideas is that
they are always so painfully simple that
every other man when he hears of them
kicks himself for not utilizing the same
idea when it occurred vaguely to his own
mind several years before.

“ One instance of this fact is the in-“
vention of the sand blast.

“ The inventor, while on a visit to the
seashore, noticed that the glass in those
windows which fronted the beach of the
place at which he was stopping was
dulled in some peculiar way. He made
inquiry and found that this was caused
by the clouds of sand which the winter-
storms drove against the exposed panes.

“ The sand blast resulted from this lit.
tle. bit of trivial information, and the
man who utilized it is at present sport-
ing purple and fine linen and possesses
numerous ducats.

“A second example is that of the rural
gentleman who found his watchkey
plugged with dust one afternoon. After
scraping it out he sat down to think of
some way to stop future annoyances in
that line. By way of experiment be
bored a hole in the key near its end and
found that he could clean it at once by.
simply blowing through this orifice.

“ He patented the idea, and realized a
big sum of money on it. But ideas like
these don’t occur every afternoon.”

Lions Made Useful.

The mountain lions were the scaven-
gers of the camp where I lived while
away. , All the gravy, meat and fried
potatoes that were left over from a meal
were thrown out in front of the tent,
and every night the mountain lions came
prowling around to eat what we had
left over. One night I saw one and fired
at it three times, but missed it, although
Brooks held a coal-oil lamp to enable me to
see the sights on the gun. They are the
greatest cowards in the mountains, al-
though people who are not familiar with
them believe that they stretch out on
limbs of trees and pounce upon unsus-
pecting travelers. I will guarantee to
take an ordinary hickory club and chase
any lion in the mountains, although I
have one hide at home measuring nine
feet from tip to tip.——Topeka Capital.

“Three Black Crow's."
Here is the latest version of the “ three
black crows,” as told by the London

Daily News: “A Scarborough clergy- ?

man on opening his newspaper the other
day found therein an utterly unfounded
statement to the effect that his consort
had presented him with tiiplets. He
immediately caused inquiry to be made
as to the sclfrce of this astounding story,
and he found it was as follows: His
married daughter and her children had
anivedat his house on a visit; the event
had been described by one neighbor to
another as ‘an addition of three to the
minister’s family ;’ by the natural law of
evolution that was transformed into a.
case of triplets; and a local correspond-
ent getting hold of the story sent it in
that form to the newspapers."

Why “To Need T‘vo Ears Each.
Sound travels by waves radiating from
a central point of disturbance, just as
waves radiate when a stone is dropped
into still water. So far as the hearing
of each individual is concerned,‘ these
waves move in a direct line from the
cause of the sound to his ear, the impact
being the greatest in the ear nearest to
the source, says the Philadelphia Press.
This being the case, a person who has
totally lost the sense of hearing in one
ear, although he may imagine that the
defect is of little consequence; cannot
locate the direction of a sound to save
his life, even when the centre of disturb—

ance is quite near ‘him. , '

PYGMIES OI: THE AHOAMANS.

They Ii~e~l Aarows t-hnrpened for

Strong-ms “'3'" ( ome 'l heir “’ay.

The pygmies of the Andaman Islands
in the Bay of Bengal are coming into
notice again. On South Andaman Island
the Indian Government maintains a. great
penal colony. Several attacks have been
made recently by the untamable J arawas
of this island on parties of convicts.
who find it very dangerous to leave their
settlements to go hunting in the
woods. The natives roam over big
tracts of thick jungle, appearing oc-
casionally on the coasts or visits
ing the confines of the settlements,
murdering any convicts they may meet.
When pursued, the bands separate into
parties of two or three and retreat into
the densest part of the jungle, where
they leave no trail. Mr. Portman, the'
administrator of the Andaman Islands,
says that the Jarawas who have been
caught during the past ten years and re-
turned to their tribe after enjoying his
hOSpitality, have done nothing to pro-
mote more friendly relations between
their people and the government.

That is a more discouraging report of
these Andaman pygmies than was made
several years ago by Col. Cadel, although
he wrote of the natives of Little Anda-
man. He insisted that their ferocity
was due to the inhumanity of Chinese
and Malay traders, who improved every
opportunity to drag the natives into
slavery. He said that they are good
natured and pleasant people to meet
when once their confidence is gained.
An expedition which landed among the
dwarfs of Little Andaman was assailed
as usual with arrows and battle axes.
The party took three women and six
men prisoners, and carried them nearly
100 miles away to Fort Blair. They
were treated there with. the. utmost
kindness, and in two months were sent
back to their island loaded with presents.
On the next visit of the whites the re.
leased captives came to see them, and
in a few days men, women and children
visited the camp and even ventured on
board the steam launch.

The J arawas of South Andaman, how-
ever, still keep their arrows sharpened
for any foreigners who pass their way.
All these people belong to one of the
smallest races of men in the world. The
average height of the men, Prof. Flower
says, is four feet nine inches, and that of
the women is four feet six inches—N. Y.

Pretty Girls of Ireland.

Do you know how very pretty a pretty
Irish girl is? She is like a glass of fine,
clear Chablis. She hasn’t the champagne
sparkle of the American girl, the beery
tranquility of the German fraulein nor
the vermouth suggestiveness of
mam’selle, our French cousin. She does
not intoxicate, neither does she soothe,
nor yet inspire, but she allures you.
There is something enduring yet evanes-
cent and fleeting, and it draws you on
and on. She is like a draught cf- pure,
sparkling spring water that refreshes and
never palls. She is tall, slender and
round. Crisp little black curls lie against
her white neck. There is nothing creamy
nor peachy about her skin; it is clear red
and white, and her fine black brows and
curved lashes accentuate it. And then
her eyes! Why should poets sing of the
languorous orbs of Oriental houris or the
violet eyes of the fair women of the
North, when the Irish girl has them all
at one and the same time? Starry eyes
that sparkle and glow. You think they
are darkly brown until some day .she
turns them upon you as she stands in the
sunlight and a sapphire is not more blue,
and as you watch her in surpfise, they
are gray and they are black, and you de-
spair of telling what color they are, but
are content to watch them assume what-
ever shade they will.——Chicago News.

Subduing Old Ocean.

An ingenious invention, with the ob-
ject of lessening the force of the waves,
has been recently exhibited at the Paris
headquarters of the Central Society for
the Saving of Life in Shipwrecks. It is
proposed to cover the surface of the sea
around an endangered vessel with a thin

' cotton or silken net, rendered unsubmersi-

ble and ever floating by being dipped into
a special chemical preparation. The idea
is due to the fact that, when crossing the
track of the Gulf Stream is has been no-
ticed that the vast spreading field of
floating seaweed within the confines of
the stream, though upheaved by the
swell, remain glassy and smooth.

SCHOOL HOUSE WREGKED.

Terrible Catastrophe at a. Democratic Jo.
bllee in Arkansas.
FAYETTEVILLE,Ark.,NOV.18.—-The Dem-
ocrats of Mountain View had a presiden-
tial election celebration in the district
school house last night and a terrible dis-

 

aster ended the proceedings prematurely.

During the speechmsking, and while the
building was packed, two kegs of powder
exploded. The school house was totally
wrecked and a number of its occupants
buried in the ruins. Shrieks and moans
came from the mass of wrecked timbers,
and it was evxdent that the calamity was
terrible.

The debris took fire in several places,
and it required hard work to prevent the
cremation of the persons who were im—

risoned. A son and daughter of Silas

raham were taken out dead and Berry
Shared was so badly injured that he has
smce died. Another man whose name has
not been learned, was also killed. Fifteen
persons were injured, some fatally, but
their names have not been learned here.

AT A BULL FIGHT.

The King of Portugal Throws a Diamond
Scarfpin at the Toreador’s Feet.

MADRID, Nov. 18.—The Queen of Port-
ugal, who with her royal spouse is a guest
at the Spanish court, expressed a desire
the other day to see a bull fight.

Queen Regent Christina, who has not
herself witnessed a bull fight since the
death of her husband, arranged for an ex-
hibition which was given today in the
presence of the queen regent, the court
and the royal visitors.

The show was a great success and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all. The King of
Portugal, .in a moment of enthusiasm
threw a diamond scarfpin at the feet of
Mazzanteni, the intrepid toreador.

THE BURDEN CASE.

the grand jury room proving too small
and inconvenient. Marshal Hilliard said
this morning that there were 13 witnesses
examlned the first day, 30 the second, 36
were on hand for today and about 15 were
due tomorrow. The plans for the Borden

GUM GRAND SALIS.

Reported Intention of Justice S. J. Field to
Resign, Out of Dislike to Cleveland.

CHICAGO, Nov. 18. — The Times this
morning prints the following: -

SAN FRANCISCO, Ca1., Nov. 16.——Justice
S. J. Field of the United States supreme
court, will soon resign, and President
Harrison will appoint in his place United
States Senator J. N. Dolph. This is the
story that comes from Portland, and it
bears the earmarks of truth. The reason
for Justice Field’s retirement is his cordial
dislike of Grover Cleveland and his desire
to deprive him of a chance to name his
successor. His animosity dates back
eight, years ago. when there were some
Federal vacancies to be filled in Oregon.
Justice Field was in charge of the circuit
and submitted a list of names, but Cleve—
land ignored them, and filled the places
with men personally distasteful 10 the
venerable jurist.

Field is not only 70 years old and is very
feeble, but the duties of the bench have
long borne heavily upon him, and he
would have resigned during Cleveland’s
former administration had he not feared
that his other enemy, W. ’l‘. Wallace,a
superior court judge of San Francisco,
would be appointed to succeed him. It is
said that Field is afraid he would not last
another four years and that he feels sure
Wallace would profit by his death or re-
tirement if Cleveland were left to choose
his successor.

HE LAUGHS AT THE IDEA OF AN
EXTRA SESSION.

 

Gray Wants a Place-Justice Field
and Mr. Cleveland.

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Nov. lS.-—Senat01
Vest returned yesterday from Texas,
where he had been since the election. He
expressed himself freely as to how. the
Democracy should handle the tariff dur-
ing the coming session of Congress. Said
the Senator: “There is no danger to the.
country in our victory. we do not pro-
pose to smash the business interests as
the blacksmith would destroy a fine
watch. ‘Ne will proceed cautiously, de-
liberately, but firmly to readjust the tarifl

taxes. so that the tariff shall not bee
shield for trusts and monopolies. Free
trade pure and simple is impossible, for

we must raise a large amount of money -

necessary to carry on the government I;
import duties, but in doing so we should
act cautiously. It is impossible to spec-
ify in an interview the details of proposed
legislation, but I can venture to say for
myself that I would remove the duty on
refined sugar and on binding twine, and
decrease the duty on tin plate. I would
also admit wool free and reduce the
duties on woollen goods and hardware
and cutlery. There are many incongru-
ities and outrage; in the McKinley act
which should be remedied. I might give
many instances, but they have been fully
discussed in the canvass. McKinley’s law
has defeated his party. It was made by
the manufacturers and failed to humbug
the people with the pretense that the con.
sumer did not pay ‘0 e tax.”

Senator Vest discussed the idea of an
extra session. “Mr. Cleveland is too
level-headed for any such nonsense,” said
he. “He does not believe in a cavalry
charge upon the existing system of taxa-
tion and finance. He is firm, but also
conservative, and knows that we must
make haste slowly. We intend to do the
work thoroughly, but not like boys at
play. Our first dutvahen we meet in
December "-.'ill be to provide for the de-
ficit crcr ~ 1 by our Republican friends in
the Bil: ..l Dollar Congress. We must
redeem mlr promises to the people and
prove ourselves worthy of their confi-
r:‘tenc.o. If we do the Democratic party

NEW YORK’S SENATOR.

Bill‘s candidate Antagonized [by
McLaughlin of Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—Hugh McLaugh-

lin of Brooklyn, it is understood, has se-

lected Alfred C. Chapin as his candidate

for United States Senator, against Edward

Murphy, J r., who took the field last week.

Murphy defeated the nomination of
Chapin for governor by supporting Ros-
well P. Flower in 1891. Dow B. Hill also
a parently has not been able to persuade
1V r. McLaughlin to support Murphy for
Senator.

At a first step toward becoming a candi-
date for Senator, Mr. Chopin today filed
his resignation as Congressman with the
secretary of state. Mr. Chopin was ap-
pointed a state railroad commissioner,
with a salar of $8000 a year, in April last
and it was t en thought that he would
resign his office of Congressman immedi-
ately. Mr. Chapin would favor the ap-
pointment of Cleveland Democrats to fed-
eral offices in this state. That Mr' Cleve-
land’s friends see, and therefore it is quite
likely that they will do all they can to
elect him over Mr. MurnhY.
