OUR SOLDIE South Carolinians Camp Columbia, Habana, Cuba, Jan. 20.-This morning, accompanied by Sergt. Gillespie, the writer made another excursion through the sur rounding country. We left camp about 10 o'clock and went over to Marianao, a small town which begins about threc-quaners of'a mile from our camp. Here we saw the houses built just as these of Habana were. They are low one-story buildings with bars across the windows. The houses, most of them, are built adjoining each other and makes one think of the tenement houses in the cities of the States. The people and stock all live together there, too. There is one thing that is quite familiar at home that all searched for to-day, but did not find, "We tried our best to find a chimney, but failed. The natives must have some other way of convey ing the smoke from the building. As we made no calls,' we were unable to see exactly how this was done. After we got into the town we be gan to look around for something of interest. Soon we saw a large group of natives and went over to see what the fun was. We found that the laborers employed by the government were being paid off. Soon we began to feel the pangs of hunger. We \ ent to a grocery store to find what could be had there. We priced some cheese and were told that it was 50 cents a pound in Spanish money or 40 cents in American, or "3Iericana,"as the natives say. Other things were high in proportion, liolls are two cents apiece. From the grocery store we weut to a cobbler's to have a few tacks put in our soles. In the United States the job would not have cost over a nickle, but the cobbler wanted thirty cents. He was handed ten cents by the one having the work done and we walked out. The natives are fast learning that when a sojdier has money it is very easy to get it out of bim. They are raising thc price on everything. From here we left tin- town and went down the roa:'; io see what could be seen out there. We had no guide, consequent.y we had to trust to luck. . Soou wo came to a building having a Cuban fiag Hying over it and a Cuban soldier standing in front of the gate. Upon inquiry wc found that wc had com-- to a Cu) in hospitaliu which the Cuban'- soldi . who were wounded in il., recen; vero quartered.* We wont in and w ... m t at the door by a negro I oy al g.! ? ct i; years d' age wh'.; wa- a pati ?:.

In the offi ce; uicuts were especial ly ] accommodating. They trio? to talk to us and we tm . . ik te them but of no avail. Wi make ourselves under stood to-cac cher. But we kept on making sig is until we found out that two 'd' the men were captains, two lieutenants and one sergeant. We lot them ko v> that one of us was a first iergeani and the other a second sergeant. Ti.ere was one, thc ser geant, v ii:, tried to make us under stand som i: r but could not. We all seemed puzzled at each other and remained aa!ii a soldier from the First Texas regiment, who could speak Spanish, came in and acted as inter preter. Ile was trying to make us understand ibm hi; to ? was a first sergeant. We found that some of those poor patriots had gone for weeks and weeks without a dojtor as much as casting a shadow in their doorway. There was a captain who was shot through both legs just above the ankles who. from appearances, would never use the lower part of his legs again. The fractures had grown up without the services of a physician and one of his legs was almost bent double. There was a negro lieutenant in the crowd who seemed to be very bright indeed : one was attracted to him by his bright eyes and good manners. Ile seemed to be worthy of the spars lie wore. This was in the Ofelia hospital at La Lisa, Marianao. From here we went on up the road and soon came to another Cuban hos pital. Herc we were invited in. Wc went in the large ward and from there to a small room to our right. Here we met Capt. Alfredo Uolge, I>r. Oscar Cartuga and Practiciente Juan Oero Moreno. These were eating pino, or pineapple. Although none ColumJ* ?RS IN CUBA. isit Two Cuban Hos als. kt State. of them could speak a word of Eng lish wc were invited by signs to join them. Wc hesitated at first, but upon ?being urged accepted. Judging from our reception at these two hospitals and the behavior of the natives in general, all those tales about the hos tility of the Cubans towards the sol diers is bosh. Wc never met up i with a more grateful or frieudly set I before. j Our next move was to fco on further up the road. Then learning that off j to our right was a pineapple field wc j decided to go over and take a peep at I it. We soon found a field of about 75 ! acres planted in this fruit. Some of j the fruit was just ripening, and, as we : did not think any one would care, wc each took four pineapples and started j for home. We tramped back carrying ! our load with us, arriving at camp j just a few minutes before our passes were out. The more one sees of this land the ! more he is struck with it. There is j not a more productive place to be : found anywhere and wee this island . healthy it would be an Eden. There j seems to be no limit to its productive i powers. With a little American pro j gress, push, vim and money a man ; could make a fortune if he could only ! stand the climate. There is a future for the island anyway. S. FRANK PARROTT. Etiquette of Hand-Shaking. Xcw York World. A correspondent asks when is it correct to shake hands? This is a very broad subject and would need a chapter, for the con ditions of social custom are usually ? regulated by tue State you live in. Li you have any Southern blood in you, you are very apt to shake hands nu most occasions. This is one of tito S most significant actions in the Sputh I ern rule of etiquette, i lu the North people shake hands I much less frequently. Ti;is is due to i the formality which i.- necessary io j towns of very large population and ? cities of great, masses of people. The I Southerner lives more slowly, makes ! acquaintances more easily and e:c I presses cordiality quickly by a prcss j ure of the hand. j The death knell ol' cordial hand j shaking was rung when that absurd fashion of the elevated shake was in troduced. You know the kink; hand clevatei on a level with i he shoulder; fingers touching each other; two move I ments to thc side, and one up, and ! thc cordiality was over. ! lt was claimed by thc fashionables, ' and those who tried to imitate them, j that this method of hand-shaking was < introduced to save men and women the cleanness of their gloves. Weil, it would have been better abolished. . No hand-shaking is better than such I hand-shaking. When ?nen are introduced to each I other they alway.- should shake hands. A cordial hand grasp is necessary be tween men ni" no matter how different j station in life, if they are introduced on the street or in the house hy a 'common friend. When a man is presented to a wo man he rarely shakes hands with her iii the North: he always ?hakes bauds in the South. And even the North erners do it in thc South, because the Southern woman invariably stretches out her hand. Since so much South ern life has been introduced into the North, the Southern woman clings to the custom, and usually explains with a laugh: "We always shake hands, you know, in the South.'' Thc cordi ality is evidently very much liked, because men and women quickly re spond to the invitation. When a man is presented to a wo man al a very formal affair, iur in stance, if tlu re is a dinner party and he has been asked to take her in. they merely bow. When, however, they intend to be friends and have heard much of each other before, the eir cumstances alter the situation. ?, for one, hold to the prettiness (d' the custom, that whenever people are in troduced in the house of a friend, a cordial shake of the hands is an easy way to turn off formality. When men and women know each other only slightly, meet in public places and stop to speak to each other, tliey shake bands. This is done by even thc most formal acquaintances. Ir is never necessary for t wo women to shake hands when being introduci d, as it is for two men. (the latter knows no alternative.) but many women (io extend the hand quickly upon an in troduction. This must he governed entirely hy the temperament d' the women. li' a man enters a room where there are many people, some of whom he does not know, he usually shakes hands with his hostess, and bows te thc rest. It requires two much time and confusion for him to go around shaking hands. At a reception of any kind a mau always shakes hands with every wo man he meets whom he knows well. At a party of any kind it is not ne cessary that the -guests should sock out the hostess and shake hands with her. ? say it is not necessary, but it is always good etiquette. It is claim ed against this that the hostess, who has to shake hands with each of her guests as they come in. is too tired to repeat the performance. There is something in this, if the entertain ment is large. Whenever a girl is introduced tn an older woman at. the house of a friend, she must shake hands with her: this is the deference due to superior years. As so many women arc to-day in busiuess and professions, a little talk on the etiquette of the handshaking in offices would not bc amiss. It is a difficult thing to lay down a hard and fast rule, for each woman must go and . at the time she will go according to her temperament, but it is a better thing to leave handshaking out of the ceremony when introduced for busi uess purposes in the office. The cir cumstances, which always alter the situation, relate to who is doing the introducing, and who is being intro- \ duced. but when it is outside a ques tion of personal interest or personal friendship, a bow between the two is all that is required. Many of the purists in etiquette advise that women should not shake hands with men unless there is a close friendship between them. This is absurd. The more warm-hearted and cordial a woman is thc more friends she wins, the less harm she docs her dignity: there is always a way to do a thing and a way not. She loses very little in life by being cordial, for if she is a woman of tact she knows how to keep that cordiality from going any further if she does not wish au in timacy. The woman who does not know how to do this would tot knew when and how to shake hands any way. English people say that ''shaking hands" is a misnomer, for "taking the banu"' is mere proper. Tiley may be ali right iij England, but the cordial American shakes the hand. Mc may I do it rather roughly and thus prove* j that be is a boor, but. there is a warm j pressure of thc hands which supplies ? ali grace necessary, j There is "iii. thing that should be j taught, and that is how to shake : hands. ' i ou have ail felt the nano a j ? sou Hop into your own like a dead fish, j and tile only response you feel like j giving, is to wring it off the wrist. J Then again there is the lifeless formal ?land that touches your own with the most icy precision and which makes i you feel that the person in question bas the veins of an alligator. What sn absolute relief from this is thc hand of a mau or woman that closes j over your own firmly and gently and j presses it just to the right measure I with enough warmth to make you un consciously feel that behind the hand ,' is a genuine heart. ! This person, in fact, may be a more cold-blooded villian than an}-of thc ? others, bur, 1 w ?uld rather have a vil ! lian that knew hov.- to do things than one who did not. Ali women forgave Aaron Burr everything because he knew bow to shake hands and how to say pleasant things, and 1 imagine that, women are all alike. lt us a delightful tiling to in- cor dially treated. ANNI-; KITTEN HO CSE. Slander of Women. Mr. McCullough's bill to make a slander against a woman a crime by statute in this State is well intended: but tere arc practical obstacles in the ? way of its success. To begin with, ! there would be a humiliating and un pleasant process (d' proving by the wo man herself that lae things spoken against ber were false and slanderous. What we need in that directionals a revival (d' the good, old-fashioned Southern habit (d' bullring IS buckshot -hot-that, we believe, is thc rcgula ! lion dose prescribed by time-honored ! custom-in the person (d' the man who from malice io.- folly, assaults thc character of a good woman. This is the best, quickest and most satisfac tory and conclusive way ol' snell mat ters. It prevents litigation, saves ex pense and annoyance and serves as a warning. We have observed that whenever an affair of this kind occurs in a community slander becomes tongue -tied there for a term of years and almost anybody's reputation is safe. As a rule women do not talk scandal against each other unless they are in stigated or encouraged by men. and j even the worst .gossips of that se.\ are subdued by the knowledge that their I male representative.- will be belo' rc j sponsible in case a scandal is traced i to a family. Thc (dd rule wa.- that respectable men should not use thc name oj- a re spectable woman in any way except in the preseni e nf some of her close friends or of other women in such company as to make .-ure thai thc use should bc respectful. A man who used a woman's name lightly or in im proper places or on inappropriate occa sions was stamped asa blackguard im mediately. Scandal cannot be prc vented by law. lt can be prevented only by the aroused decency ol' public sentiment and by thc conscientious opposition of good people. - drcauiUe Xe ir s. Electricity Bents Biscuit. Verily, this is a wonderful age, to the woman who can cope wit practically should belong thc pa As ideal as were the days before war, when our grandmothers and tl mothers wore short-waisted gowns ? high heeled shoes and slaves obe; their slightest wish, there was not half of the comforts of life as we joy to-day. Electricity was an almost unkno quantity, so to speak. To-day, h< ever, right here in Atlanta, live brave little woman who has peril! put the most practical application electricity to test that is on rccort for she's ''beating biscuit" with What think you, oh housekeepers, that ? Mrs. Martha Butler Lapsley is t clever woman inventor of the elect motor that serves as a biscuit beat She lives at ll Clifford street and I a biscuit factory in her kitchen, win' has grown from thc use of oho ban of flour a week to five or sis barn per month. When northern visitors stop at t large hotels in Atlanta they are oft surprised and more often delight with hot beaten biscuit served then for Mrs. Lapsley furnishes her dc cious little biscuit to the large hotc of the city. Two years ago she began makii i biscuit for the Woman's Ezchang but at first it seemed with no succ?s for time and again her samples we returned marked failures. She ke up her courage, however, and sent : her biscuit until, day by day. they b came more perfect in the making, at little by little thc demand for the grew. At first they were all beaten 1 hand; then, as the trade grew, the o Athens model biscuit beater was use Now this has been supplanted by tl electric motor which Mrs. Lapsley hi invented. A glimpse into her kitchen show au unusually interior, for here are tl electric motor and two larg'.'gas stove ! The guardian angel of this province the yellow cook, on whom Mrs. Lapslc j relies. ( j "I found 1 was obliged to i m pro'. ! on all known methods of beating bi I cuit." said Mrs. Lapsley when askc . which has been such a success. i set to work to perfect the old Ailie: j model. You will see that my maeliii j has no wooden screws as thc edd mod j had, for these would split up and g< j the dough, full of splinters : so th: j was the first improvement to maki I The screws and bearings of my m?

I had to nay *?O for th j privilege or thc electricity necessar j to do my work.
