SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
homes in this city were purchased through
advertising in The American. The real estate
men are alive to the fact that the best medium
is The American. More that 120 years ago The
American was established, and the last page of
the very first issue contained a real estate card
from General George Washingtron. He received
good results, and continued to use these columns
until his death, as the files of the paper show.
General Washington has many followers. d&Stf

Sea-Sickness. --1. Have every preparation
made at least twenty-four hours before
starting, so that the system may not
be exhausted by overwork and want of
sleep. This direction is particularly important
to ladies. 2. Eat as hearty a
meal as possible before going on board.
3. Go on board sufficiently early to arrange
such things as may be wanted for
the first day or two, so that they may be
easy of access; then undress and go to
bed before the vessel gets under way.
The neglet of this rule by those who are
liable to sea-sickness is sure to be regretted.
4. Eat regularly and heartily, but
without raising the head, for at least one
or two days. In this way the habit of
digestion is kept up, the strength is preserved,
while the system becomes accustomed
to the constant changes of
equilibrium. 5. On the first night out,
take some laxative pills. Seidlitz, or
citrate of magnesia, taken in the morning
on an empty stomach, are bad in sea-sickness.
After having become so far
habituated to the sea as to be able to
take your meals at the table and go on
deck, never think of rising in the morning
until you have taken something, such
as a plate of oatmeal porridge or a cup of
coffee or tea, with some bixcuit or toast.
7. If subsequently during the voyage the
sea should become unusually rough, go to
bed before getting sick.

HART GOES TO PRISON.

The Owner of the Laurada Could Not
Get Security.

Philadelphia, December 21. -- John D.
Hart, the principle owner of the vessels
of the Hart Steampship Company, against
which vessels there have been many
charges of filibustering for the Cuban
cause, was this evening taken to the Eastern
Penitentiary. Hart was convicted in
the United States District Court several
months ago of aiding a Cuban filibustering
expedition on the steamship Laurada, and
sentenced to two years' imprisonment in
the Eastern Penitentiary. Pending decision
on an appeal to the United States
Court of Appeals from this sentence, Hart
was allowed his liberty under $7,000 bail.
Today Jesse Eldridge, one of Hart's four
bondsmen, notified the court that he desired
to be relieved of his security, and
Hart's rearrest folowed. Mr. Eldridge
made no explanation of his action to the
court, and Hary was given the alternative
to furnish other security or go to prison.
He could not obtain new security, and in
the custody of the United States marshal
was taken to the penitentiary. Under instructions
of the court he can obtain his
release upon furnishing the required security.

Heavy Snowstorm in Texas.

Dallas, Texas. December 21. -- North
Texas suffered the worst snow and sleet
storm Saturday and Sunday in many a
year. Dallas was completely isolated all
Sunday, and communication with the outside
world is only partially restored. Telegraph
and telephone wires were much
damaged. It is believed the damage to
cattle will be great. In Bosby county the
death rate in cattle was 40 percent. The
railroads were badly demoralized. Freight

The houses of these erstwhile deserted
villages consist of a dome-shaped framework
of mesquite saplings, thatched with
socato of other coarse grass, or sometimes
with leafy shrubs or bushes, or
even with cornstalks, the thatch being
sewn to the framework with slips of
yucca. These houses are circular of elliptical
in plan, 12 to 18 feet across and 5 to
8 feet high; the roof portion is often flattened
and covered with a layer of earth
2 or 3 inches deep. The doorway is scarcely
2 feet wide and often not much higher, and
usually stands open. There are no smokeholes
or window openings, this one room
--it is the whole house--serving, as a sleeping-room
and for general living. The
cooking is usually done in the cooking
circle, a roofless inclosure some geet
away from the main abode. It consists
of a series of mesquite posts 4 or 5 feet
high, set in a circle 4 or 5 feet in diameter,
connected, save at one point--the
doorway--by two or three horizontal blinders,
usually of mesquite sapling, to which
a layer of sacato grass is lashed. As
most days in Papagueria are far too fair,
the weather seldom interferes with the
culinary operations.

BROUGHT THE CONDUCTOR DOWN.

How a Young Man Gor a Door Closed Whe
All Others Failed.

From the New York Evening Sun.

It was a bitterly cold evening, and ev-
ery passenger in the jolting horsecar was
shivering, but the door stood wide open.

"Oh, conductor," began an old man who
was sitting nead the end of the car.
"Won't you close that door?"

"Umph," grunted the conductor, giving
the door a push which still left it one-third
open. The man who had spoken
rose and completed the operation without
any comment. Thirty seconds later the
door was reopened when a street crossing
was reached. IT remained open while th
car passed the crossing and entered the
new block. The conductor came in from
the platform to collect fares of several
new passengers

"Please, conductor, close the door - it's
so very cold," lisped a pretty damsel,
her sweetest on the addressed
