I readied Savannah next morning, i Icu thc troop trains from Huntsville, | \la., were delayed and did not get in j till 1'ebruary 1st. We sailed on Feb- ! mary 2d, having on board officeT and j men of six tr J ops and six ladies. All wore heavy wraps when we left, but tho next day when wc struck thc gulf stream, undershirts and white duck suits and sailor hats appeared on deck. < )ur vessel, thc Minnewaska, was formerly a magnificent ocean liner, so had all thc improvements and conven iences of lateat Hteamer>. Thc whole trip was delightful, sea calm and few victims of seasickness. Only one lady j suffered. The meals were very good, and thc captain and his wife did all thoy could to make things pleasant for us, even having an afternoon tea on upper bridge for us. Wc made thc trip of 750 miles in three dayH and anchored in the bay abouti? miles from Neuvit-s. Then Mr. Donaldson mot me and after stay ing a day or so OD board until lighters had carried troops, baggage, etc., ashore, we also went. This Cuban town, Ncuvitas, about 2,000 inhabitants, was my first peep into Col. i Ihn-Mr. Donaldson was stationed for .i!>i>ut six wcoks, then j about Kaine length of time at Minas, | and finally at Puerto Principo and had \ just moved to last station a few days before we arrived. Neuvitas has the same prevailing fashion of houses all over Cuba-tiled roofs, with a court inside which is un covered and in which plants, etc., grow. A porch usually runs around thc court opening into tho rooms, which arc on each of four sides. We were tho first American ladies to arrive since tho Ten Years' War, and of course wcro objects of as much intorest to natives as thov wcro to us. Before wo loft the boat wo picnokod one day on a small island in thc bay, where only ono house was located. This was a small thatched palmetto roofed oottage with only a dirt floor. There sat a baby 11-2 years old, with only a neoklace around its neck. Dirt spots were the only further adorn ments it could boast. Its mother in Spanish style, placod tho house and its contents at our disposal. And while we were oxploring tho island she made us the most delicious coffee, parching, roasting, grinding and mak ing it. WTe had carried lunch (the captain's treat) so wo had a delightful repast. We only liogcred a few hours at Neuvitas, then took the train, a queer little toy-looking affair, to Puerto1 Principe, 50 miles up in the interior. This trip consumed about four hours. We had four stations at whioh to stop. At one of them, MinaB, tho Third Georgia Volunteers were stationod. "They had been thero nearly four .months, and we were the first Ameri can ladies they had seen since they left home. Word passed along quickly and we had quito an ovation, hats waved, cheers, etc., so glad were they to soe some one from home. Wc passed thc cavalry and infantry camp on our way to principe, three miles from the city. Atlastwe arrived and having secured the daughter of collector of customs ?as interpretress, wc went to a Spanish hotel-thc G rando. Miss Rivas kind ly did our bargaining, then left us alone, where no one spoke a word of English and wc no Spanish. Our ex periences of the next few wcoks would fill a book-some queer, some funny and ridiculous. At first only men were servants, but after a while tho 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. At first it was a necessity to look up in our Spanish hand-books everything we wished to ask for at table, in our rooms, eto. Our beds were single, iron ones, somewhat similar to beds in our coun try; same kind of springs, bat no mat tresses. At first we would rise with prints of springs on our bodies as the linen sheets were too thin to protoot us. Af torwards wo got blankets and spread underneath, also ovor us, and they were very comfortable. Some times it was so cold in tho night that two blankets were neoded. Draperies of muslin or dotted Swiss were on beds, looped np io day with cords and tassels, so they oonld he let down if neoded to keop oat mosquitoes. Bat I am glad to say this was necessary only a few nights in the six weeks I was there. Another surprise was absence of flies. I did not s?e a dozen in town, whilo in camp they had swarms and had to pnt in screens in mess touts. Tho floors of . hotels and homes are tiles of brick or marble, ro CUBA. "Liltdy Write? ;in In [ Detter. Umi A ?ii in uti. willi no rugs, sonn of thc wea 11 li i cst have a few. Thc windows um} doors j are of fancy iron tr rill work or among poorer people of wood Thc < hair-! of bent wood rockers, and straight sitting chairs. Thc Churches or Cathedrals aro tho only buildings very much ornamented. Some of them have magnificent, hand some hand hammered silver altars, figures ami shrines, oven tin,' lamps and caudle-stands are of this precious molal. The floors aro stone or marble and no benches or chairs, these are carried by servants for thc wealthy just before service commences. The poor people take theirs with them camp-meeting fashion. Whites and blacks worship together, and thc fleas are no respoctors of persons, they creep and crawl and bite till one looks as if he had chickenpox. The people pay little attention to tho 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 Cnitcd States said, "Wc 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 ccrtaiuly housekeeping duties are light. Nature is so lavish one could almost live on her productions without cooking. Vegetables arc in season all the ?car round, those wo have and many strange varieties. Bananas, limes and iocoanuts arc always to bc had. Thc orange, (thc best), do not last very long and are succeeded by small, bitter varieties. 1 had fresh strawberries from open gardens in March, and the gentleman who raised them said he had them since November. Thc cooking is done by natives in small iron pans, supported by three iron pegs. Thc bottom has holes so ashes can fall below on tho floor. Charcoal is used, and frying, boiling aud stewing is done on these pans. An old fashioned oven is built at ooo side and I suppose is used on grand occasions. Thc ono at thc hotel I never saw used. Tho bread is bought from men who bake and deliver it to your door. Most of it is in roll form and ry white and very hard, but lighu and pretty good after you become accustomed to it. The meals arc: first coff oe and rolls early in the morning, breakfast from 10 to 12, dinner from 4 to G. 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, thc kind that thc oolonol 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 out 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 years, as the soil is so rich any thing stuck in thc ground grows. Po tatoes have to bc planted once, also sugar cune. The city of Puerto Principe, or the port of the Prince, was originally on thc coast where Nueritas now is, but thc marshes around produced malaria so thc town was moved back up into the hills in thc interior. Thc- 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 arc tho samo as already spoken of and thc 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 look alike, one frequently meets nuns and priests and monks, eaoh dressed in black, gray or maroon, aocording 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 tho land. One afternoon Mr. Donaldson got a volante, (nat.vc 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 che horse on a high, Mezioan looking saddle The ahafta are very long so you oan talk without the driver hearing, if you wish. The top oan bo thrown back if desired. One horse draws this quaint affair and the motion is delightful, a kind of swing instead of roll, as with our carriages. The poor horse*? are small, thin and full of sore*, and are made to draw such immenne loads ont* fools badly to seo thom. On our drive wc visited the insane asylum founded by a ricli charitable Spaniard. Herc we saw men and women apparently re < < iviiig kindly caro and attention. In the centro of the handsome court, filled with beautiful flowers and palms is a chapel. Here a devoted priest is said to have slept ou a board with another for Iiis pillow just hack of a crucifix in a .small alcove for 1'? years. A tablet marks thc place whore his body was interred, just whore he had slept. Wc also drove to the ancient bridge on the edge of the city. This wa- built in lf>00, KO it is over 300 year - old. It is BO constructed appar ently to last through coming ages. Street car tracks arc on many streets, but no cars have run since the 10-yoars' v,; r. Klcctric lights are used in many houses and in hotels. Ice is made but from refuse dirty water, and, hence, cannot be used in water or any food. It can be utilized for freezing, and, by the way, their ice cream is a kind of custard, flavored with nutmeg. Another dessort I liked very much was called dulce-grated cocoanut, cooked with jelly to the con sistency of marmalade. After we had been at the hotel three weeks some of the ladies rented a handsome mansion together and went to housekeeping. Others have since followed their example, and quite an American colony is now there. Some have returned to thc United States for the summer, others mean to stay, still more like myself, mean to move over next fall. A great deal of our time was spent going to and from camp to thc city. Tho Eighth cavalry and One Hundred and Fifty-ninth infantry camps were very near, only separated by a small stream, and they made a big settle ment of canvas. There was a good deal of typhoid fever and several deaths. The camps were thc cleanest I ever saw, aud HO pronounced by the inspector, who thought the fever was contracted in thc I'nited States before the troops went over. I visited the sick several times in thc hospital and felt so sorry to see the poor soldiers ill and dying alone in a foreign coun try. No loved ones near, no chaplain or ministers to even rtad the burial service or soothe their last moments. Ono of the saddest sights I saw was a cavalry funeral. First came the band mounted, then the collin wrapped in a flag on the caisson drawn by mules, then thc dead man's horse, draped in black with reversed boots followed his troop and any friends who wished to attend. When we reached tho cemetery all dismounted and the body was carried to the vault, then the officer of the dead man's troop read our burial service, the band played "Nearer My God to Thee" exquisitely, taps was blown and we left the Cubans to finish cementing tho opening. The custom there is to inter in vaults and rent is paid for a certain period. If this is not renewed the body is taken out and formally thrown in the bone yard. Now they are buried in trenches. As to temperature, the time I was at Puerto Principe was very pleasant. It waa warm in the day but cool and even cold some nights, and Mr. Don aldson wrote recently that blankets at night are comfortable. The Cubans say there is no difference between summer and winter exeept nights are oooler during tho latter. White dresses and thin clothes are always worn, and no one except our people had woolen dresses. Thc cavalry and infantry bands come in to play twice a week at the Plaza or Park. There the Cuban senoritas are out in all their glory, looking their best in mantillas, thin dresses, ribbons, lace and powder. Thc last named they use in quantities, one could scrape it off. The difference in appearance of these bellos by night and day is mar velous. Their complexion, toilets, hair, etc., do not bear the light of day. There aro so many mixed bloods, from white, all shades of mulattoes to black negroes, also full and mixed Indian blood. One of thc most interesting trips I took was down to Sanchez's immense sugar mill and plantation. This is about ?16 miles from Puerto Principo on the railroad and six miles from Minas. It reminded me of Pelzer and looked like a huge factory town. Hero sugar is turned out by the ton each day. Tho family entertained us most nandsomoly aud kindly, showed us their magnificent jewels, linen, laces, shawls, fans, etc This family was divided, the father being a Spaniard and tho son was in the insurgent army. This visit was the day before we left Prinoipe. 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 husbands stayed until the last minute, then returned in a tug and we s'owly strumed out. The trip home only took two and a half days, an vo h nd the Gulf stream in our favor.

BEKSIK WILLSON DONALDSON. Greenville, S. C., June 17, 18??!?. ? . - -i ? mi Difference iletwecn Lore and Friend ship. lilla Wheeler Wilcox, as an author ity on amatory problems, i- much sought after by her less fortunate sis ters for advice, and, although sin; is a very busy little woman, the gifted writer never fails to respond to any reasonable request. Her mail is bur dened with letters from wive-, who have failed to lind their souls, and girls who never had any, and as all pine to thrill with thc 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 lilla Wheeler's comments thereon "Dear Madam: 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 thc time I thought I loved my 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; 1 know all his good qualities, which arc many, and my only desire is to love bini as he loves me. Do you think it ?<? possible by trying for mc to love him, and if not. please tell mc which is the best way to appear to him so ho will nover find it out." "This lady," observes Mrs. Wilcox, "is a sort of sphinx. Sho 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 thc result of imagination. "Surely she must be a peculiarly organized woman. "To my thinking, love cither 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 marriage, hut 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 oould 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 senso lies dormant, marriage is a sor row and a disappointment. My cor respondent is doubtless ono of this type. The realities of life have dis illusioned her of the ideal she had formed of happiness. "When a woman loves a man with an absolute love, when the real passion dominates her, then there is nothing commonplace or ordinary in life for her. Every situation is idealized by thc divine flame in her heart. "Every trial is made easy, every trouble sanctified; poverty has no terrors and death no sting. "But evidently the woman who writes me has nover known this love. "Yet sinco 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 hor the advisability of cultivating affectionate thoughts toward him. "An affection might bc developed in her heart which would render her own life sweet and peaoeful and satisfy the husband's desire to bc loved at the samo 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. Lom's Republic. Blood Polten and Cancer Cared by B. B. B. Trial Bailie Seat Free.

A Mexican wowan, the Senora Kay Castillo, certainly holds the palm for supremacy in the number of her real, genuine widowhoods. She has worn the weeds seven times between 1880 and 18i>5. So widely different have been tho causes ot death by which her seven spouses quitted this wicked world, yet so similar in thc violence thereof, it would almost seem that the lair senora was somewhat of a "hoodoo" to the 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, thc fifth w as killed while hunting, thc sixth met his death by dropping from a scaffolding, and the seventh was drowned. As the 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 u resident of some progressive American city.-Cincinnati Jinquirer. Craze For Shoulder Straps. WASHINGTON, June :J0.-Since the announcement that about 10,000 volun teers were to bc 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 ono or more applicants whom he presses upon the President's attention. The Presi dent requests all lija visitors to file their applications with Adjt. General Corbin. At the same time bc makes it clear in a general way that the policy of thc Administration in granting com missions will be to give preference to volunteer ofllccrswho Bhowed ability and who performed valuable service din ing thc Spanish war.

"Anything." "Very well ; take my chair herc and tell me how to run this busiuess on a profitable basis. We'vo been waiting 40 years for you to be born." There's a greater demand made on the strength of the mother when nursing than at any other time. She has j ust gone through the shock and strain of materni ty, her vitality is at its lowest and the food she eats must nourish two lives. The natural re sult is that the mother looks 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 but is an inj my to the child. It is the concurrent testimony of '?omen 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 the nrirans 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 uourishment 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 in April a nice uabv 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 14 months old and weighs 30 pounds. Now I expect another about August, and I am again taking the 'Favorite Prescription' and feel very weil. Several neighbors are using Dr. Pierce's medicine through my telling them about it. One lady says, 'before commendna Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription I had to vomit every day, but after I got the medicine, from thp first spoonful that I took, I stopped vomiting. It has done the wunc thing for me. It is a God send for women." No alcohol in any form-, is contained in "Favorite Prescription," neither opium nor other narcotics. This cannot truth? fully be said of any other medicine espe cially designed for women and sold through druggists.
