A. Former .Anderson terestins _: Southern Chris DEAR ADVOCATE : Jlbave intended to write a little account of my trip to Cuba ever since my return, but bave not found time to do so before. Hav ing gotten permission from the secre tary of war to go with the second half (six troops) of the Eighth cavalry on transport, I left Greenville January 30. I reached Savana fib next morning, but the troop trains from Huntsville, Ala., were delayed and did not get in till February 1st. We sailed on Feb ruary 2d, having on board officers and - men of six troops and six ladies. All wore heavy wraps when we left, but the next day when we struck the gulf stream, undershirts and white duck suits and sailor hats appeared on deck. Our vessel, the Mi nnewaska, was formerly a magnificent oeean liner, so had all the improvements and conven iences of latest steamers. The whole trip was delightful, sea calm and few victims of seasickness. Only one lady suffered. The meals wore very good, and the captain and his wife did all they could to make things pleasant for us, even having an afternoon tea on upper bridge for us. We made the trip of 750 miles in three days and anchored in the bay about 9 miles from Nouvitas. There Mr. Donaldson met me and after stay ing a day or so on board until lighters had carried troops, baggage, etc., ashore, we also went. This Cubas town, Neuvitas, about 2,000 inhabit.ants, was my first peep into Coba. Here Mr. Donaldson was stationed for about six weeks, then about same length of time at Minas, and finally at Puerto Principe and had just moved to last station a few days before we arrived. Neuvitas his the sume prevailing fashion of houses all over Cuba-tiled roofs, with a court inside which is un covered and in which plants, etc., grew. A porch usually runs around the court opening into the rooms, which are on each of four sides. We were the first American ladies to arrive simoe the Ten Years' War, and of course were obj acts of as much interest to natives as they were to us. Before we Mt the boat we picneked one day on a small island in the bay, where only one house was located. 'This was a small thatched palmetto roofed cottage with only a dirt floor. There sat a baby 11-2 years old, with only a necklace around, its neck. Dirt spots were the only further adorn ments it could boast. Its motherin Spanish style, placed the house and its contents at our disposal. And while we were exploring the island she made us che most delicious coffee, parching, roasting, grinding and mak ing it. We had carried lunch (the captain's treat) so we liad a delightful repast. We only lingered a few hours at Neuvitas, ?hen took the train, a queer little toy-looking affair, to Puerto Principe, 50 miles up in the interior. This trip consumed atout four hours. We had four stations ab which to stop. At one of them, Minas, the Third .Georgia Volunteers were ptationed. They had been there nearly four months, and we were the first Ameri can ladies they had s cen since they left home. Word passed along quickly -and we had quite an ovation, hats waved, cheers, etc., so glad were they ?o see some one from home We passed the cavalry anci infantry camp .on our way to principe, three miles from the city. At last we arrived and having secured the daughter of collector of customs as interpretress, we went to a Spanish hotel-the Grande. Miss Rivas kind ly did our bargaining, then left us alone, where no ona spoke a word of English and we no Spanish. Our ex periences of the next few weeks would fill a book-aome queer, some funny and ridiculous. At Jirst only men were servants, but aft er a while the manager got a female chamber maid and an interpreter. I am sorry to say our progress in Spanish was not near so fast as before. Afc first it was a necessity to look up iu our Spanish hand-books everything we wished to ask for at table, in oui rooms, etc. Our beds were single, iron ones, somewhat similar to bods in our coun try; same kind of sprin gs, but no mat tresses! At first we would rise with prints of springs on o ir bodies as the linen sheets Were too thin to proteot us. Afterwards we got blankets and spread underneath, also over us, and they were very comfortable. Some times it was so cold in the night that two blankets were needed. Draperies of muslin or dotted Swiss were on beds, looped up in day with cords and tassels, so they could be let down if needed to keep out mosquitoes. But I am glad to say this was neoessary only a few nights in ;he six weeks I was there. Another surprise was absence of flies. I dkl not see a dozen in town, while in camp they had swarms and bad to put in screens in mess tents. The floors of hotels and homes are tiles of brick or marble, A VISIT r ra CUBA. Xiady Writes an In ; Letter. Han Advocate. with no rugs, some of thc wealthiest have a few. The windows and doors are of fancy iron grill work, or among poorer people of wood. Thc chairs of bentwood rockers, and straight sitting chairs. The Churches or Cathedrals are the only buildings very much ornamented. Some of them have magnificent, hand some hand hammered silver altars, figures and shrines, even the lamps and candle-stands are of this precious metal. The floors are stone or marble and no benches or chairs, these are carried by servants for the wealthy just before service commences. The poor people take theirs with them camp-meeting fashion. Whites and blacks worship together, and the fleas are no respeotors of persons, they creep and crawl and bite till one looks as if he had chickenpox. The people pay little attention to the service and none to the sermon, chattering while the priest delivers his discourse. Mr. Donaldson has already written about some of the customs. Women cannot walk alone on the streets, girls must always have duenna along. One pretty little senorita educated in the United StateB said, "We would like to go out alone, talk to the gentle men, etc., and we are anxious for American customs to come in." Life is taken easily, and certainly housekeeping duties are light. Nature is so lavish one could almost live on her productions without cooking. Vegetables are in season all the year round, those we have and many strange varieties. Bananas, limes and cocoanuts are always to be had. The orange, (the best), do not last very long and are succeeded by small, bitter varieties. I had fresh strawberries from open gardens in March, and the gentleman who raised them said he had them since November. The cooking is done by natives in small iron pans, supported by three iron pegs. The bottom has holes so ashes can fall below on the floor. Charcoal is used, and frying, boiling I and stewing is done on these pans. An old fashioned oven is built at one side and I suppose is used on grand occasions. The one at the hotel I ? never saw used. The bread is bought j from men who bake and deliver it to your door. Most of it is in roll form j and very white and very hard, but light and pretty good after you become accustomed to it. The meals are: first coffee and rolls early in the morning, breakfast from 10 to 12, dinner from 4 to 6. Some have supper. Dinner and breakfast always begin with soup, then vegetables, stews, fritters, ome lettes, etc., in courses, salad and usually crisp, fresh lettuce, dessert then last delicious coffee, the kind that the colonel of our regiment says you have to get up and salute. American Beauty and Marshal Niel roses, blooming in open air during our winter months, seemed queer, but were so beautiful. Palms of all de scriptions and even almond trees flourish. The Cubans say the Spanish cut trees all in and around the city, afraid of ambuscades and so many handsome gardens and yards are in ruins. Nature will restore all this in a few y?ars, as the soil is so rich any thing stuck in the ground grows. Po tatoes have to be planted once, also sugar cane. The city of Puerto Principe, or the port, of the Prince, was originally on the coast where Nueritas now is, but the marshes around produced malaria so the town was moved back up into the hills in the interior. The last accounts give the number of inhabi tants as 40,000, making this the third city in size in Cuba, Havana and San tiago ranking first and second respec tively. The houses are the same as already spoken of and the city looks like an old Moorish town transplanted in Cuba. OF course there are lots of convents and monasteries, this being a Catholic country. So on the queer, narrow, winding streets that all lookalike, one frequently meets nuns and priests and monks, each dressed in black, gray or maroon, according to his or her order. It was on the train I saw the first bare-footed, shaveheaded priest. Most of them are very jolly-looking, and from appearances live well, on the fat of the land. One afternoon Mr. Donaldson got a volante, (nat.ve carriage, and took me) for a drive. This carriage is like a coupe, except it only has two wheels (immense ones) and one seat. Some times a small drop seat is in front, so four instead of two may occupy the volante. The driver sits on the horse on a high, Mexican looking saddle The shafts arc very long so you can talk without the driver hearing, if you wish. The top can be thrown back if desired. One horse draws this quaint affair and the motion is delightful, a kind of swiug instead of roll, as with our carnage?. The poor horses are small, thin and full of sores, and art made to draw auch imincnn? loads one feels badly to see them. On our d: we visited the insane asylum foun by a rich charitable Spaniard. E wc saw men and women apparently ceiving kindly care and attention, the centre of the handsome oe filled with beautiful flowers and pa is a chapel. Here a devoted pries said to have slept on a board v another for his pillow just back < crucifix in a small alcove for 40 yes ? tablet marks thc place where body was interred, just where he 1 slept. We also drove to the anci bridge on the edge of the city. T was built in 1500, so it is over years old. It is so constructed apj ently to last through coming ages. Street car tracks are on many stre< but no cars have run since the 10-ye? war. Electric lights are used in mt houses and in hotels. Ice is made hut from refuse di water, and, hence, cannot be used water or any food. It can be utili: for freezing, and, by the way, th ice cream is a kind of custard, flavo; with nutmeg. Another dessert I lil very much was called dulce-gral cocoanut, cooked with jelly to the ci sistency of marmalade. After we had been at the hotel th: weeks some of the ladies rented handsome mansion together and w< to housekeeping. Others have sii followed their example, and quite American colony is now there. So: have returned to the United States j the summer, others mean to stay, si more like myself, mean to move oi next fall. A great deal of our time was spe going to and from camp to the eil The Eighth cavalry and One Hund? and Fifty-ninth infantry camps w( very near, only separated by a sm stream, and they made a big sett ment of canvas. There was a go deal of typhoid fever and sevei deaths. The camps were the deane I ever saw, and so pronounced by t inspector, who thought the fever w contracted in the United States befo the troops went over. I visited t I sick several times in the hospital ai felt so sorry to see the poor soldie ill and dying alone in a foreign cou try. No loved ones near; no chapla or ministers to even rtad the buri service or soothe their last moments. One of the saddest sights I saw w a cavalry funeral. First came tl band mounted, then the coffin wrappi in a flag on the caisson drawn 1 mules, then the dead man's hors draped in black with reversed boo followed his troop and any friends wi wished to attend. When we reach? the cemetery all dismounted and tl body was carried to the vault, th? the officer of the dead man's troc read our burial service, the band playc "Nearer My God to Thee" exquisitel; taps was blown and we left the Cubai to finish cementing the opening. The custom there is to inter i vaults and rent is paid for a certai period. If this is not renewed tl body is taken out and formally throw in the bone yard. Now they ai buried in trenches. As to temperature, the time I wa at Puerto Principe was very pleasant It was warm in the day but cool an even cold some nights, and Mr. Doc I aldson wrote recently that blankets a night are comfortable. The Cuban say there is no difference betweei summer and winter except nights ar oooler during the latter. White dresse and thin olothes are always worn, ant no one except our people had woolei dresses. The cavalry and infantry bands corni in to play twice a week at the Plaza o Park. There the Cuban senoritas ar< out in all their glory, looking their bes; in mantillas, thin dresses, ribbons lace and powder. The last named the} use in quantities, one could scrape il off. The difference in appearance ol these belles by night and day is mar velous. Their complexion, toilets, hair, etc., do not bear the light o! day. There are so many mixed bloods, from white, all shades of mulattoes to black negroes, also full and mixed Indian blood. One of the most interesting trips I took was down to Sanchez's immense sugar mill and plantation. This is about 30 miles from Puerto Principe on the railroad and six miles from Minas. It reminded me of Pelzer and looked like a huge factory town. Here sugar is turned out by the ton each day. The family entertained us most Handsomely and kindly, showed us their magnificent jewels, linen, laces, shawls, fans, etc. This family was divided, the father being a Spaniard and the son was in the insurgent army. This visit was the day before we left Principe. At Nuevitas we, (Mrs. Wray, wife of an infantry officer), and I went out t*> the transport, and there joined the Third Georgia, who were coming home. Our hushands stayed until the last minute, then returned ina tug aud we B'owiy ."teamed out. The trip home ?oily took two and a half days, as we li:ul the Gulf stream in our favor.

C., June 17, 1899 DiiTerencc Between Love and Friend ship. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, as an author ity on amatory problems, is much sought after by her less fortunate sis ters for advice, and, although she is a very busy little woman, thc gifted writer never fails to respond to any reasonable request. Her mail is bur dened with letters from wives who have failed to find their souls, and girls who never had any, and as all pine to thrill with the divine spark, Mrs. Wilcox's resources as a dis penser of thrills and thrill inducers are severely taxed. Here is a sample letter from a wife who is repenting at leisure and Ella Wheeler's comments thereon : "Dear J^ladam: I have so often read your good advice I have decided to ask you for your opinion of my case. I have been married but a short time, and think I have made a mistake. At the time I thought I loved ray hus band, but I've been suffering from the fact that I do not. '"Do you think it is possible that it may be imagination? For I respect him; I know all his good qualities, which are many, and my only desire is to love him as he loves me. Do you think it is possible by trying for me tc love him, and if not, please tell me which ia the best way to appear to him so he will never find it out." "This lady," observes Mrs. Wilcox, "is a sort of sphinx. She is a puzzle to herself, and she wants me to give her a key to her own mind. She thought she loved her husband when she married him! Then she suffered from a realization that she did not! Now she wonders if that realization is the result of imagination. "Surely she must be a peculiarly organized woman. "To my thinking, love either exists or it does not exist. Very few people really love. I dare say not one-third of the human family ever experienced the passion in its height, depth, length and breadth. Scores, yes, hundreds, of people go to their graves believing they have known love, when they have only encountered its pale shadow -a warm friendship, or a tender af fection, or a good comradeship. "Many young girls experience a cerebral sentiment which they call love. They invest a man with a halo which they have fashioned out of their imaginations. A romantic girl pre pares this halo as soon as she enters her 'teens,' and the first man who pays her a compliment; or smiles into her upturned eyes received the aureole upon his brow. She has no thought of r.arriage, but if he pays his ad dresses and becomes serious she ac cepts him as her fate, believing he is to lead her into an enchanted world, away from all that is commonplace or ordinary, for how could a man with a halo about his brow be ordinary? "To such a girl, whose sentiment is purely mental, and whose emotions are undeveloped, and whose common sense lies dormant, marriage is a sor row and a disappointment. My cor respondent is doubtless one of this type. The realities of life have dis illusioned her of thc ideal she had formed of happiness. "When a woman loves a man with an absolute love, when thc real passion dominates her, then there is nothing commonplace or ordinary in life for her. Every situation is idealized by the divine flame in her heart. "Every trial is made easy, every trouble sanctified; poverty has no terrors and death no sting. "But evidently thc woman who writes me has never known this love. "Yet since she has married a man whom she respects, and since she is not quite sure that she does not imagine her change of sentiment to ward him, I would suggest to her the advisability of cultivating affectionate thoughts toward him. "An affection might be developed in her heart which would render her own life sweet and peaceful and satisfy the husband's desire to be loved at the same time. Let her think of all his excellent qualities and all his good traits of character. Let her assert her affection for him in silence to her own heart. Love begets love, and his de votion to her should create a corres ponding devotion on her part."-St. Louis Republic. Blood Poison and Cancer Cured by B. B. B. Trial Bottle Sent Free.

A Mexican woman, thc Senora Ray Castillo, certainly holds the palm for supremacy in the number of lier real, genuine widowhoods. She has worn thc weeds seven times between 1880 and 1895. So widely different have been the causes of death by which her seven spouses quitted this wicked world, yet so similar in the violence thereof, it would almost seem that the fair sonora was somewhat of a "hoodoo" to thc genus husband. Her first hus band fell out of a carriage, her second took poison by accident, the third perished by a mining accident, the fourth shot himself, the fifth was killed while hunting, the sixth met his death by dropping from a scaffolding, and thc seventh was drowned. As thc senora lives in Mexico she has not gained the lame, and notoriety which would otherwise have been hers from her varied matrimonial ventures were she a resident of some progressive American city.- Cincinnati Enquirer. Craze For .Shoulder Straps. WASHINGTON, June :J0.-Since the announcement that about 10,000 volun teers were to be mustered into the army for service in the Philippines the President has been deluged with ap plications for commissions. Almost every Congressman and caller has one or more applicants whom lie presses upon the President's attention. The Presi dent requests all his visitors io file their applications with Adjt. General Corbin. At the same time he makes clear in ii general way that the policy of the Administration in granting com missions will be to give preference to volunteer officers who showed, ability and who performed valuable service during the Spanish war. Some regular officers are also to be given volunteer commissions, in the belief that one or two regular officers in a regiment wi be of great advantage. The number of officers to be commissioned is bein carefully guarded to prevent a scram ble. - Fresh Applicant-"Is there an opening here for a bright youngman? Proprietor-'"What can you do?' "Anything." "Very well; take my chair herc and tell nie how to run this business on a profitable basis. Wc'v been waiting 40 years for you to b born." There's a greater demand made on the strength of thc mother when nursing than at any other time. She has just gone through the shock and strain of materni ty, her vitality is at its lowest and the food she cats must nourish two lives. The natural re suit is that the mother 1 ooks around for a "tonic," and gen erally finds her tonic in the form of a stimu lant, which not only gives the mother no real strength hut is an inj ury to the child. It is thc concurrent testimony of women who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, that it is the most perfect pre paration for motherhood and all its func tions which has ever been discovered. It prepares the way for baby's advent, giving thc organs of birth vigor and elasticity. It establishes such a condition of health that nervousness, anxiety and morning sickness are unknown. With this condition comes a healthy flow of nourishment for the child, which enables the mother to gratify thc? fondest instinct of maternity. "Twoyears ago I used two bottles of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and tu April a nice babv was born, before the doctor came," writes Mrs. Katie Auliker, of 754 Pat Street, Alli ance, Ohio. " I was not very sick. Baby is now !4 months old and weighs 30 pounds. Now I ?xpect another about August, and I am again taking the 'Favorite Prescription' and feel very well. Several neighbors are using Dr. Pierce's medicine through my telling them about it. One lady says, 'before commencing Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription I had to vomit every day, but after X got the medicine, from thp first spoonful that I took. I stopped vomiting. It lias done thc same thing for me. It is a God send for women." No alcohol iu any form, is contained in "Favorite Prescription," neither opium nor other narcotics.
