HAVANA HAS A HISTORY. Cafca'a Capital, Now Hcleagured V laiargcat, la aa Ancient City.

It wan founded but twenty-three year after the discovery by Columbus and has always been the -oinuicrciaI emixrium of the Antilles. It is situated on a beautiful bay. whose t-ntraiiee from the Gulf of Mexico is by a narrow estuary between two prom inent headlands. The entrance 1 guarded on the east by the famous Morro castle, anil on the west by the Castle de la Puma, both built at the close of the sixteenth century. Havana, In its tonography, architec ture and every other physical attribute, la essentially Spanish. The houses are Identical with the architecture of the south of Spain. Tbey have heavy walla of stone, low ceilings, broad verandas and are built upon narrow streets, which, though well paved, are unclean ly and unpleasant to the eye. Most of the public institutions of Havana are of ancient date. The great cathedral, so well known, was begun In 1724. Here He, or are said to lie the claim being denied the remains of Colum bus, transferred thither from Santo Domingo In January, 17!1. There are fifteen other churches, nine of which belong to the monastic orders. Two of these churches date from the six teenth century. The other public edi fices of note are the palace of the cap tain general, situated on I'laza de Ar mas; the Taeon Theater, one of the larg est theaters In the world, eual. In fact, to the famous Kcala of Milan; the vari ous provincial offices, the university and the great prison, a vast quadran gular structure, built In 1771. There are also a number of fine hospitals. Few cities have such beautiful parks and driveways as Havana. The great Plaza de Armas Is the chief. It com prises four parks, in the center of which is a statue of Ferdinand VII. Then there is the Alameda de Paula, border ing on the bay, and the Campo de Mar ie, nsed as a drill ground for the mili tary. This is an enormous park. It has four handsome gates, named re spectively Colon, Cortes, Iizarro and 'Tacon. The Paseo de Tacon is a mag nificent drive with double rows of trees. It has numerous columns and statues, among the latter one of Charles III., ranking among the finest works of art in America. ' The commerce of Havana Is only sur passed in the new world by that of New York. Two-thirds of the products of Cuba find outlet through Havana. The exports of sugar alone are annii--ally about 120,nim.iin pounds. Havana was founded in 1515 by Diego do Ve lasquez, the conqueror of the island. It was first called San Christobal de la Haliana. in honor of Columbus, but gradually the prefix was dropped. Ha vana has been frequently attacked from the sea. Drake tried to take It in 158.1. but failed. In 17t'.2 a British fleet under Admiral Pocoek bombarded the city and compelled- It to capitulate, but it was restored to the Spaniard the next year by the treaty of Paris. St Louis Glob, -Democrat. Learned In One Lesson. A truly remarkable story of feline In telligence was lately told by a corre spondent of the London Spectator In deed, it might fairly be called Incred ible, only that the correspondent, as will be seen, vouches for its truth. I am Induced to send you an account of a remarkable instance of feline sa gacity which occurred In my house last week. About a fortnight ago my black Per sian cat brought to the house a young sparrow, and taking it to the front doormat began stripping It of its feath ers. The cook, not approving of the liner made by the said feathers, dou bled the mat over and told the cat he must not make such a litter, but strew the feathers on the wrong side of the mat and not on the p-P- A fortnlghtafterward the cat brought lu another bird, and marvelous to say, turned the mat which was a heavy coir mat over with his claws, and Ut tered the wrong side of it with the feathers, precisely as the cook had told him to do. This is absolutely true, and without exaggeration. The Old and New Navy. The old Constltption could, with her best guns, at l.ono yards, pierce twenty-two inches of oak about the thick ness of her own hull at water-line. The five-eighths-inch steel covering at the Atlanta's water-line had nearly the name resisting power as the Constitu tion's twenty-two inches of oak. The Atlanta's nix-inch guns will, at J.ihjo yards, bore through a surface having her own or the Constitution's hull at twenty times the resisting power of water-line. At the same range her lght-incu guns pierce fourteen inches of Iron. They Prove Boon. Klectrlc rt ilronds are proving of great tienefit to the farmers of this State.

It is even proposed to run trolley coal trains to supply coal to mall town that now use only wood. Augusta Journal. Mora aad Horse.

With projier care, it is easy to estao liU iu children, a degree ui musical perception which will l.-ad them t form correct habits of voice pro lm tiou Because of their Immaturity, the vo cal organs of children are peculiarly susceptible to injury. Many lalsir wi der congenital defects which are fre quently alisorbed by those with who.u they are constantly brought lu contact. This, coupled with a certain degree of carelessness or oversight on the part of both teacher and pupil, leads to "ugly pronunciation, throaty ir nasal deliver', and indistinct." Words are "swallowed, jerked out and run together, in a uiwt uusingable fashion" with no attention to phrasing, accent or rhythm. All this Is encouraged by shallow, imperfect breathing aud im proper position of the body. Properly managed, however, the voices of most children have one prom inent characteristic that of extreme sweetness, and the work In voice train ing should be directed to establishing aud evelopiug this quality. Pattern singing, by the teacher (If she has the voice) or by pupils whose voices are pure and resonant, will aid wonderfully In overcoming the faults descriled aliove. A bad pattern Is usually Imitated as readily as a good one, and for this reason voices that RYE ALL Teacher Now. children, stand ud and faoethe man for a moment, and see if vou can ten me in wuai pan oi v lrginia uie nye v And then he got tend to contaminate the tone of the whole class should be brought under subjection. It is a good plan to scat such pupils in front where they will be under constant survelilance of the teacher. Soft singing is the first principle of voice training. Harsh, strident tones are usually produced by forcing the voice; hence, the teacher should allow no amount of tone beyond that which the children can produce with perfect ise. The methods of training suited to the voice of adult singers would result in injury to children's voices If us.-d to a great extent In the schoolroom. In singing, children have the advantage. over older people. While adults are studying how to arrange the vocal or gans and "place the voice" properly, children Just open their mouths and sing; the tone IsK-omes an object of thought and the vocal organs na turally relax to give expression to the sweet melody within. In teaching children to sing, It must be remembered that we are dealing more properly with minds than with throats. We may teach them by Imitation to open their mouths gracefully, but devices for "placing the voice" are, as a rule, useless in the schoolroom. Move the soul with "con cord of swet sounds" and the voice will "place" itself. Children In their enthusiasm often sing too loud and carry the broad, open duality of the lower notes to the upper register, thus producing shouts Instead of the beautiful head tones so desirable In all singing. As the voice ascends it should diminish in force but not in brilliancy. Many principles of voice culture, pro nunciation, phrasing, etc., used In lan guage, rending and elocution, can be applied advantageously In teaching inglng. Daring the Ringing exercise, teachers bonld Insist upon the observance of the following points: 1. Aa erect but easy position of tot body. 2. Deep but natural breatiilnr. 3. A clear aul distinct euuiictatlou with careful atteirioii to making the consonants and hgihg the vuwem. This may be tauLt by pattern. 4.

Kaiijiliatioii of each pupil's voice, keeping a correct record of its ser. range and quality, and requiring him to sing the part to which his voice I bc adapted. School Kducution. Clan Management. In instructing do not always conduct a class recitation iu the same way. Some teachers are governed so entirely by routine that their pupils can almost calculate to a certainty the next action and word. When pupils are busy with mechauical work as in solving prole lems or writing exercises generally let them work Independently of you, al ways of each other; but sometimes ob serve their work as it proceeds, for in this way you may study mind action. When pupil are left too much to them selves, we do not know how much of that which they produce correctly Is by accident. We should avoid the other extreme, or helping pupils too freely; help them to help themselves. It I better not to call on the poorest scholar at the opening of the recitation, for It produces discouraging results and i logs the progress of the lesson; nor should we call on the bright pupils altogether; the effect Is not good on their minds while the miuds of the dull ones re main Inactive.

"Do you mean, pspa, that you could ever forget hi connection with trade, that you would allow me to marry Mr. Graeme even even if I wihed it, and and he wished It too?"

But so long a silence ensued that he fixed his glosses on his nose, and looked thn lgh them at his daughter. She was blushing like a rose, at the thoughts that were pawing through her mind; but Mr. Knollys famied It was wounded pride that had sent the color to ber cheek, and hastened to make his meaning clear. "I don't deny, Diana, that I whs very ambitious for you at first. At twenty when I went home fin furlough, before your poor mother died, you remember! you were the loveliest girl I had ever seen no sisitioli seemed to me then higher than you hud a right to till the divine right of beauty, my dear. You are handsome still, but not ns you were six years ago. You are older now, of course; and somehow you have never been a great favorite with men. Forgive my plain speaking, Di." "I dare say you are only cruel to be kind," siie answered, quickly, too proud to let him see how hurt she was. "I won't keep you from your work, papa." She did not put into words the thought that crept into her mind with insidious sweetness, yet with a little sadness, that if her father hfid ceased to exiect great things for her, she need not certainly immolate herself on the shrine of ambi tion. F.ver since she had first discovered what she then considered her mad love for the son of the Scotch brewer, she had striven hard to stamp it out, or at least to lire It down. She had never allowed herself to dwell on the happiness such a love might have been, if he relumed it. Scarcely had tsbe asked herself whether he could ever care for Iipt or not; she had always striven to throw him and Jane Knox together whenever it was ossilile. But now now? She went to Mrs. Dene's that same morning, and found Val Graeme there as he generally was. Jane was there, too, looking pale and tired, hut she went to meet Diana with a welcoming smile. "It is three whole day since you have been here," she said, reproachfully. "Come round the garden for a chat." She nodded somewhat cavalierly lo the young fellow, who was on his knees mending her tennis bat, as she left the room. "Mrs. Dene will te here in s few min utes," she culled out cheerfully over her shoulder. Diana, who scarcely looked up when Mr. Graeme greeted her. only " including him in a genial "Ik do," felt angry with Jane, then incouseqtieiitly pleased. Perhaps it was only so, by her indiffiT ence, (hut he might Im.k elsewhere for ap preciation. It wn a humiliating admission, never theless, she was obliged lo confess lo her self, that she would have no cliHiice against the Quartermaster's daughter were any rivalry to be between thcin. It was strange what a fascination that girl had for such widely different na tures, and she pleased without effort, even sgainst her will.

'Diana, ' said Jane, demurely, a they were still beyond ear-shot, "I don't think I shall have much to explain after all, There wa certainly nothing of flirtation, nothing even personal In our long conver sation to-day. It had iut struck me that Mr. Graeme was talking uearly all the time alsiut you. There wa no pallor nor pride in Mis Knollys' face now, she was blushing like any schoolgirl as they reached Mr. Dene' side, and she could scarcely slam mer out a suitable remark. An sld mix ture of liame and triumph made her quite unlike herself. She was afraid lo meet Jane' eyes lest she should gin-s what keen hoie her word had awakened Directly he could he bs.k her have. only tisi glail to lie alone to think. And now Jane had something to eon ider. Her thought lately had Ix-en con centrated on her own affairs, and she was weary of trying to nolve the vexed prob lem of how best to unravel the tangled tkein of difficulties that leet her. It was a relief to turn her attention to some thing else, if only for s short time. She knew Valentine Graeme had admired been near loving her. in fact, before her engagement to Colonel Prinsep was an nounced, ami that again of late his Inter est in her had seemed to lie reviving; but she had known too much of really pas sionate love, the love associated, alas with sin and sorrow, to believe that his affection wa very deeply seHted. An opportunity to talk with Valentine alone occurred later in the day. He had stayed to luncheon, and afterward all three were gathered round the fire, h chatting to Mrs. Dene, and Jane di-ep in thought as to how she could best bring sliout an explanation. Then some house hold duly called Mrs. Dene auny, and the two were left alone. "How nice this idle time js!" observed valentine, deamily; then, with one of his Hashes of fun. he added, comically, "Don't spoil It by trying to amuse me." She laughed. It was an old Joke against her that she took the verb "to entertain" too literally. It must have been In some measure du to her Scotch blood, or that unconsciously some memory of the old. more practical life in barracks remained with her; at any rate she never allowed the mind of any visitor to stay long un occupied, and when Valentin spent the day with them aa now, there wa no chance of his finding any leisure time to misapply. Mrs. Dene had noticed first how Jane provided all her guest with album and book of views, then at near primly ex plaining or descanting on their merit. Since then it had become a universal joke. Now, however, she wanted only to talk, arm sanl so, "1 am sfraid," said Val, thoughtfully. 1 have exhausted my originality. I don't believe I have another remark to make. Yon could hardly expit-t it after a whole day's uninterrupted conversation." im s jusi n. ny uo you come ito often' blurted out Jane. He pushed his chair buck from the fire. aud sprung lo liis feet. "Do yon men n that I am unwelcome that I come too often?" he exclaimed, blankly. "SupKise. she said, with a faint smile hovering ou her Hps.

Tell me, he said, deliberately for he had weighed the matter iu his mind, and con cluded that he was not so deeply in love with Diana, but that he had a very reas onable chance of happiness with Jane if she decided to accept him; hn bad the lirst claim uisiu hi affections, and it tuld not he such a terrible ai-rltii-e after all -"tell me, would you not lie happier if yon married me?

It occurred tn hi-r that it might really end . First the Colonel, and tlo-n the S,-rg.-nt. lh lover of former days, had Ist-n dismissed, and afterward the litile A. D. C and Barry larrou. Now the Adjutant wa ent away. She wa losing all her lovers. But after a few days she found occa sion to slter her opinion. Colonel Prin sep had been three time to the bungalow on three successive morning. True, he had staved only a short time on each occasion, and he always came with a declared object; yet ome subtle change in his manner betrayed that he no longer even wished to believe himself indifferent to Jane. And Jane, what were her feel ing on the subject? She determined to find out. "Jenny," she said that same evening, a they sat together after their quiet dinner, "1 wonder why Colonel prinsep ha lieeo here so often lately?" Jenny's head wa ls-nt low over her work as she answered: "You and he were always g'sl friends." "And are still. But if his coming were disagreeable to you is It disagreeable to you, Jenny?" She raised her eyes. Mrs. Dene sst op siite to her, her knitting needle flash ing In and out of her fleecy work, the fire light glancing upon her short curl and down-turned face. It struck Jaiie bow young and winning she looked. A sharp fear assailed her that In this might be the secret of Stephen Frihscp's visit lately. Her husband had been dead a year now. Jane, like many others, had never thought there had been any deep affec tion iictween Captain Dene and his wife; therefore it was the more likely she would marry again, and what so probable as that the old friendship that had always Is-en Iwtween her and the Colonel should develop into something sweeter? "Is It?" resated Nora Dene, softly. "No; why should it be?" was the reply given In clear, metallic tones. "We have Isith forgotten everything everything that might make it uncomfortable for ua to meet." A slight incredulous glauce, but nothing more. They should have their own way. Mrs. Dene decided, and come together if so Inclined, without any interference from her. The following morning Colonel Prinsep went to the huugalo again. Junto was outside, but fled in-doora when she saw him in the distance. As he passed where she had been, he glanced to see what sin had been doing. A large flower-pot of cuttings was standing there with several smaller ones ranged beside it, and on the ground lay a large silver ring that she had taken off before she had begun her work, and in her rapid flight had forgot ten. It was the ring she always wore on the third finger of her left hand, and which Colonel Prinsep had once thought might be a sign of her betrothal to Jacob Lynn. Now he lifted and examined it curiously. It was evidently of Indian workmanship, quaintly embossed, snd so made that It seemed like three ring joined. A he fingered it, tin center sec tion moved beneath his touch. It turni'd completely, and he saw that below lay perdu a wedding-ring. It could only b the one that he had thrown down in anger the day they were to have been married. I'nder his fair mustache his lips quiv ered iu half-amused emotion, his eye grew womlrously soft iu their expre siou; be felt tempted to forego hi wait ing game, and following Jane, confront her with this proof of her love fur him. Yet he knew he should only be courting another refusnl. He waited a moment to harden himself a little to the part he had to play, and then slipping hack the tiny, shifting panel, took out the plain gold hoop, and let the outside ease, still open, drop upon the ground. It rolled close lo a small stream that run through the com pound, so near that the inner ring might well be supposed to have fallen into the water instead of reposing safely as it did in Colonel Prinsep's waistcoat-pocket. Then he went through the open door into the drawing-room, where he found Mrs. Dene alone. He had come ostensibly to tell the ladie of some regimental sport, which were to take place that afternoon, and ask permission to escort them there. Mrs. Dene readily consented, "if," she supplemented, "Jane would go." "Then I had tietter wait till she cotm-s." observed Colonel Prinsep. (To be continued.) IOve and Labor. Iive lives to labor; It lives to give Itself away. There Is uo such thing as Indolent love. Ixsik In your heart and see If this is not true. If yon love auy one truly and deeply, the cry of your heart Is to sond and lie eiit In the loved one's service. Love would die If It could not benefit. Its keenest suffering s met when it finds Itself unable to assist. What man could see the woman lie loves hick anything, and W nimble to give It to her, ami not suffer? "Why love makes one a slave!
