Journetf lulD Tharsday.
IIAA-AXA, Nov. 13. The Cuban con
stitutional convention met at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, nfter adjournment
from the second day's session, in the
Marti theater. Seats for the delegates
had been arranged in a smaller areu near
er the platform, the curtain of the stage
had, been lowered and the windows hung
with heavy draperies, thus shutting out
the noise of the street and making it pos
sible for the delegates to speak in ordi
nary voice.
The upper galleries were crowded, col
ored percun'j predominating. They are
tr.kiiii; an intense interest in the proceed
ings. On the first and second days the
boies did not contain . many spectators,
but yesterday several prominent families
were present.
The committee on credentials reported
s to all the provinces except Havana.
The report said that, although many mis
takes had been made, there was no rea
son to throw out votes or unseat dele
gates and that where names had beeu
written on a ballot which was .not mark
ed with a cross, as in the case of the
province of Piuar del Rio, the votes
should be counted. The committee, how
ever, reported that no final decision could
be reached as to Havana province until
Wednesday.
Havana is the only province where a
contct has been talked of. the opponents
of Scnor Zayas wishing to seat Seuor
Fierra in LU place. The report was laid
on the table, and a discussion followed
as to whether the convention was legaliy
constituted: Seuor Zuys claimed that
the order of the govrnii.nt of interven
tion summoning the convention had made
it legal. Seuor Berriel argued, on the
other hand, that it would not be legally
constituted until the report c"E the com
mittee on credentials had been accepted.
Tlie delegates took this - view and so
voted.
An attempt to discuss the question of
holding secret sessions was voted down,
the matter being left to the committee on
rales. An adjournment was then taken
until Thursday, when it is understood
both committees will report finally.
Genera! Castillo, civil governor of San
tiago province, gave notice to the con
vention that he had resigned his mem
bership and had appointed lienor Ferrera
as an alternate delegate. In a communi
cation to the convention covering such a
possibility General AYoo'd had said that
alternates could act only in the event of
the death or resignation of regularly
elected delegates.

In Germany the .eoveinnient takes
:l hand in the servant i;irl problem.. :ts
U does in almost iverythiii ei.se, .ud
ir iias succeeded in partially solving at
least one phase of the diiiiculty. It
bus reduced ihe servant .uiri's '(lihti-t-i'ss"'
to a minimum; she -an nut
change piaci'S onec a week the year
:i round. For. when she moves, the
I'.vvcrnmrm, reiuvseulod by the police,
must know all about it. and. if there' is
any diiiiculty or dispute, disagreeable
questions may be a;-Ued.
Indeed, says a writer in the St I.ouis
Globe-Democrat, the process of em
ploying a servant jrirl is a ytood deal
of a business transaction, with a de
cidedly oliicial tiiie. The rirl comes
to your kitchen ami yon agree with her
about the. wages ;md she says she will
stay. Then you must jro to the police
station a;id inirchase for live pfennigs
(about 1 cent.) a white. card, or blank.
whi(ii has spaces for all sorts of infor
mation about the new girl. You must
write down her full name, whether
married or single, her trade, whether
cook, chambermaid or waitress: . her
birthday and year, her natiunality. her
religion, her own home, and if married
how many minor children she has.
where they are ami who their guar
dian is. The government always looks
out well for the children and sees that
they are provided for comfortably, this
being the more necessary because
many, perhaps most, servants are mar
ried women witli typically large fam
ilies. Ar the same lime that this blank
goes in the girl must also send a blank,
reporting her change of place. Hav
ing done all this you must see that the
girl pays her regular fees to tiie insur
ance or death fund, so that sh- may
nor tiecume a public charge in ease of
her death or disablement.
All this cereni my tends b make it
ditii"iilt for a girl to move about, or
for the masier to discharge her with
small cause. Should it be necessary
at any time for flip girl to leave there
must be more dealings with the police.
The householder now luiys a greet)
blank, or card, on which he reports
with the s:tme completeness of deserip
1 tioit the departure of his servant. And
there must be no delay in any of these
ceremonies, else the police, who have
their lingers on every man. woman and
ehiid in Germany and know jus! where
each individual should be ar am
ies, and. if you have not reported, yoii
are taken before the mag'srrate and
lined.
All this tends to prevent the rapid
circulation of servant criris so famil
iar to cverv American householder, in
which ihe Claras followed the Maggies
and the Katies followed th Claras in
swift succession. Nor do the German
girls expect such deference as these
in America: they are industrious and
ouiet: they are willing to work for
little or nothing, and to do anysort of
dis.vr.vnblo tasks; but. on the other
hand, not so much is expected of them
as iu America, and their mistresses are
perhaps more tolerant. It maybe add
fd. however, that (he German girl has
ber regular Sunday soldier or police
man as well as the American girl: that
is a problem witieh oven the German
government cannot solve.
YOVR EYEGLASSES.
"Half of the people who wear
glasses and complain that their dglit
is gradually diminishing, owe tlie idea
to dirty glasses." remarks an optician.
"Spectacles and eyeglasses - are as
much benefited by a bath ;:qw and
then as people are. It is strange itow
many people there are who think that
by wiping their glasses now and then
they keep them clean. The fact is
they want a bath .just as frequently'
as does a human being. You see, it
is just this way: The face, and es
pecially, the eyes, all the time give off
a fine vapor. - This clings to the glasses
and the dust collects on them. As
soon as they become, clean that is,
apparently cleanthe wearer is satis
lied. ,
So the process g)es on. But, while
wiping the glasses cleanses them and
is necessary, a batll 'is .also required.
Every time ' the'' glasses are wiped a
line Him of dirt-is left on Jhein and
this gradually accumulates and no
wiping will clean it off. In time this
coating gets thick enugh'to; blur the
vision, even though at . a glance the
glasses may' appear clean. When, this
occurs ythe sight is diminished ! "and
they come to -me or some other opti
cian. YVhat they ought to have done
was to give the glasses a bath in warm
water, well 1 scrubbing them wilh a
small toothbrush and soap and after
ward wipe tlietn. . This should first be
done with, chamois leather and then
with tissue paper to- polieii Iheui."

PIGEONS AND THEIR HISTORY.
Doubtless you admire the pretty,
graceful creatures that perch upon
the eaves of your house, or daintily
trip across your yard, but did you
ever think what a factor they have
been in the history of the world?
Pigeons are characters, of antiquity
as commonplace as they appear. W'e
hear of them when the waters of tlie
deluge covered the face of the .earth,
when the faithful dove flew from the '
hand of Noah and returned to her
master, bearing the significant olive
branch. Dove is the Anglo-Saxon
name: pigeon, the Norman name.
During the tilth Egyptian dynasty,
three thousand years before Christ, it
was the fashion to domesticate pigeons
and to train them as carriers and mes
sengers. The promptness with which
Caesar was informed of tlie rebellious
in Gaul, and thereby enabled to cross
the Alps before those uprisings could
possess the entire province, was due?"
to the use of carrier pigeons. In the
Crusades, these birds were skilful ami
faithful messengers.
The price of a handsome pair of
pigeons in ancient Rome was not a
triile. for Avius. a Roman knight, once
sold a pair of pigeons for forty denarii
about thirteen, pounds ia English
motley, and about sixty-hve dollars
in our c urrency. At that time, too,
they were by far the swiftest convey
ers of news, and were much in de
mand at tlie celebration of the
Olympic games. -
Among the many pathetic incidents
connected with the imprisonment of
Mary Queen of Scots, she begs earnest
ly for a pigeon, and writes in a letter:
"I beg you procure for me some
pigeons. I wish to rear them in cages;
it wiil be such a pastime for a prison
er." A LI'FE AND DEATH FIGHT.
Mr W. A. Hiues of Manchester, Ia.,
writing of his almost miraculous es
cape from death, says: "Exposure af
ter measles induced serious lung trou
ble, which ended in consumption. - I
had frequent hemorrages aud coughed
night and day. All my doctors said
1 must soon die. Then I began to uso
Dr King's New Discovery for Con
sumption, which completely cured me.
I would not be without, it even if it
cost $5.00 a bottle. Hundreds have
used it on my reeoinmendatiot and all

ROBP.ED THE GRAYS.
A startling incident, of which Mr
John Oliver of Philadelphia was tins-.
subject, is narrated by l.im as follows:
"I was in (a most dreadful eonditior.,
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back aud sides, ho appetite gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. .Fortu
nately a friend advised trying 'Electric
Bitters': and to my great joy aud sur
prise,' the first -battle -made decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man. 1 know they saved my life, v.r.il
