THE PEARL OE
Col. Lynes Tells ot' H
?ieiDi
To thc Editor of Thc NCWB and
Courier: According to promise, I am
ecndiDg you in this a few words re
lating to what 1 have seen when
traveling alone in the ''Pearl of the
Antilles," under the folds of the five
stripes and one star, so different in
many respects from our own proud
banner filled with many stars.
1 left Charleston by way of thc At
lantic Coast Line, which under thc
ablest managements equipped with
the best and handsomest of car-, con
ducted by polite and attentive offi
cials, is well termed, "the highway to
points of interest in Florida and the
tropics."
You could not desire greater com
forts in travel anywhere. Keachin?
Kort Tampa on time I boarded the
handsome and staunch steamer Mas
cotte, of thc Keninsula and Occiden
tal Steamship Company, bound for
Havana, Cuba. |
The iirbt person 1 met on going
aboard was the purser, Mr. Kaddcu,
whom 1 found so courteous that no
thought of discomfort on the trip
could "find a loop or hinge on which
to hang." I was put at once at ease
and remained so until I bade him
adieu in tho harbor of Havana-just
three hundred and thirty seven miles
from where I first met him, a run of
thirty-one and a half hours.
A finer voyage was not possible.
The waters were entrancingly beauti
ful, with many shades of blue, vary
ing with their depths, from thc palest
turquoise to the deepest sapphire.
At the sunset hour, when all were
gathered to witness the departure of
tho king of the day, we saw him go
from a canopy of sapphire behind
clouds which formed an array of gold
en masses, with edges of burning
crimson, conflagrations of splendor or
islands of loveliest hue set in opal seas.
This was a thrilling experience of an
evening, where the waters of the (?ulf
of Mexico meet those of thc Atlantic
along the Florida Keys.
After tho gorgeous sunset Boene the
next most thrilling experience was
our smooth, swift, gliding entrance
into Havana harbor between grey old
Morro Castle and Cabanas Fortress, on
the one side, and Castle de la Punta
on the other, just as the rising sun
sent a burst of glory over the "Gem
of the Antilles." Suoh feelings are
indescribable; only the experience oao
teach their meaning.
Once in Havana harbor the ship
casts anchor aud a large tug takes the
passengers to the Aduana, (custom
house,) where the baggage is inspect
ed, and from which we go to th*
hotels, and of which there are a num
ber, but the prices are ail higher for
the same or inferior accommodations
than in our American hotels.
From a city of squalor, sickness
and death of a few years ago I find
that Havanna has been transformed
into one of the cleanest and health
iest cities of the world-a blessing
bestowed upon the world by the in
tervention of tho United States Gov
ernment.
Havana (or Habana, as I now heard
it called, and read on every side,) is a
city of 325,000 people, situated on a
picturesque bay about three miles in
circumference, deep enough for the
largest ooean steamer to enter. There
are signs of Americas thrift and in
dustry on all eides. The eleotric
trolley system is an excellent in
vestment of Amerioan capital, and
compares favorably with any system
in the States.
The principal streets for shopping
are very narrow, and are nearly always
cc.Tsred from one side to the other
with canvas as a protection from the
sun. The olimate, however, is per
fect. There is a freshness about the
air wholly unezpeoted in this tropical
country.
It is not my intention ko write of
the many features of interest in the
cities. Others have repeatedly done
that, but there is a monument here
which should not be overlooked. It
was erected to the memory of fourteen
firemen who lost their lives while try
ing to save a burning buildings Ii
cost over $600,000 and is one of the
handsomest in the world. This "fire
man's monument" is always shown
with pride.

can got the best idea of the great vari
ety of fruits raised in Cuba. It is
said that every variety of fruit will
grow in Cuban soil except the apple.
I visited thc Government building
where Cuban Senators make the lawn.
Congress was in scfhion at the tia t. of
my vi>it. President Talma's palace
is near by. Thia building, with it*
large reception halls aud inviting
patio, is of much historial interest
apart from its being the President's
home. It was thc headquarters of
thc hated <??;n. Wcylcr, and in one
corner of the building is shown thc
room where Queen Isabella remained
hidden for many months when exiled
from Spain.
Of course, thc mixing and mingling
of the races, which one sees, is very
distasteful, but upon the whole my
impressions of Havana ave most
pleasing, and I would really like to
live there.
On thc 20th of last May the Cuban
l?epublio celebrated its second anni
versary.
lt is doubtful whether any other
Republic of modern times ever entered
upon its career as easily aud success
fully as Cuba has done, having estab
lished a record among Latin-American
republics, for none of them can rom
pare with her in respoot to thc auspi
cious anniversary. Thc $500,000 net
surplus left in the treasury when Gem
Wood turned over the Government to
the new oflioials two years ago has
been increased a little over ten times,
the amount in the treasury ou April
:'>() being $50,000,001.
Tho public ordci has been admir
ably sustained. The educational
facilities have been increased, sanita
tion has been maintained and other
improvements of many kinds arc being
provided.
To show how thoroughly tho Gov
ernment, is sustaining sanitary meas
ures it is pointed out that tho dent ii
rate, per thousand, is tho lowest in
tho history of thc island, being only
21.10. Trade has increased consider
ably. The tobacco and sugar crop
has been the largest in thc history of
thc island.
The Cuban Congress, though hav
ing had no experience in legislation
and, therefore, working slowly, has
passed tho reoiprooity treaty, the
$35,000,000 loan bili, and a tariff bill.
Tb ir record speaks well for tho Cubans
as a law-abiding people, and their
President seems to be the right man
for tho helm ol' State.
From here I shall go to Santa Clara,
thence to Puerto Principe, and from
that point to old Sau togo de Cuba.

Trouble.
Governor Chamberlain, of Connecti
cut, at a dinner in Bridgeport to
the Phillippioe commissioners, con
demned the praotice of extricating
one's self from a trouble by cast
ing the trouble upon another's shoul
ders.
"Don't be like the man with a ram,"
he said. And then as no one seem*
ed to understand his allusion, he went
on :
"The man I refer to stood in the
middle of a lonely road, holding by
its massive crooked horns a huge
ram.
" 'Will you oblige me/ ho said to a
passing youth, 'by holding this ram
till I open tho gate behind me? It is
fastened on the inside, and I find I
must climb over it."
" 'Ssrtin, stranger,' said the youth
and he took a firm grip on the ram's
enormous horns.
"The man baoked off smiling strange
ly.
" 'Thank you,' he said. 'You will
perhaps be surprised to hear that I
never saw that ram till to-day. The
brute attaoked me an hour ago, and
we have been struggling here ever
sinoe. As long as you stand in front
of him holding his horns firmly, he
can't hurt you. Good-by. I hope,
you'll be as lucky as I have been in
getting rid of him.'
"Then the man valuted the fenee
and disappeared. The youth, clutch
ing the ram's horns desperately, look
ed up and dowe the road. He had
never seen a spot so desolate and lone
ly." ? :i_S

SOME CHINESE CUSTOMS.
Tho Betrothal of Children and tho
Wedding Salutations.
A Chinese paper describes some
arousing marriage customs. In a
small mountain village between
Kaga and Ktchu the bride comos
to the bridegroom's gate u,,(* bawls
out to hun: "Hello, brother! I've
come."
To which the other replies, "Clad
you've come."
Thc bruie then appeals to him,
"You'll never forsake me?"
And the bridegroom answers her,
"We'll carn our living together."
With these assurances Cue bride
comes into the house, followed by a
long procession of well wishers, old
and young.
Cheap, muddy cake is distributed
to them, and they commence dane?
ing and arc not content until the
lloor gives way, when they clap their
hands, crying, "How auspicious !"
and lake their leave.
At Kurita, in Kchizen, the be
trothal lakes place when the par
ties are eight or nine. Thu Ijoy's
parents and a deputation, number*
lng from Jive to fifteen, proceed to
thc girl's family, who, anticipating
their coining, spread mats before
the house.? und await them. After
the usual salutation the deputation
present us u betrothal present piecea
of hand woven cloth for cushions
and at thc tame time praise tim
girl's family, win? return tho com
pliment with interest. Herc thc
ceremony ends, and the deputation
take their departure.
When the boy is fifteen or there
afermt. he goes to stay with his be
trothed's family and works like a
menial nt the house for a year, after
which he is sent home in line ap
parel. Soon after thc girl comes
to her lover'.-; house, accompanied
with rustie music nnd songs. Tho
noise and btisthi are as great as on
the festival day of the tutelary god.
When tho girl comes to the house,
cushions made of the cloth given by
her parents uro piled ono upon an
other for her to sit upon. On those
cushions the thrice repented ex
change of the triple wine cups, tile
most important ceremony at a wed
ding, takes place.
Tho Way Ho Said lt.
The young wife sat weeping bit
terly.
Her best friend stol., softly in
and put her arms about her, saving:
"What's the matter, Dolly?"
"Oh, I am so miserable!" she
wailed.
"Well, what has caused it ?"
"I-I-I asked Tootsy this
m-m-morning if he w-w-would mar
ry again if I d-d-d-died, and he"
* "What ! Did he tell you ho
would?"
"N-n-no. That's what's the mat
ter. He j-j-just looked at me as if
I had accused him of b-b-being cra
zy and said in the awfulest way,
'Well, I should say not!' And, oh,
Kitty, it was the way he said it!
Boo, hoo, hoo!"-Baltimore Ameri
can. _
For the Poor. ^iX'- '
A lot of minstrels went to a coun
try town and advertised to give a
performance for "the benefit of the
poor; tickets reduced to sixpence."
The hall was crammed full. Thc
next morning a committee for the
poor called upon the treasurer of
the concern for the amount the said
benefit had netted. The treasurer
expressed astonishment at the de
mand.
"I thought," said the chairman
of the committee, "you advertised
this concert for the benefit of the
poor ?"
Replied the treasurer:
"Didn't we .put the tickets down
to sixpence so that the poor could
all come?"-London Answers.

MARINE CABLES.
Odd Ideas That at First Prevailed
About Laying Them.
Winn it was iir>t proposed to lay
a marine cable, many intelligent
people sai?l it would not sink to the
bottom, hut would remain suspend
ed at u certain depth because of the
density of the water due to pressure
from above. Of course the pressure
increases with the depth on all sides
of the rabie in its descent through
thc sea, but as practically every
thing on earth is more comprehensi
ble than water it is obvious that the
iron wire, yarn, gutta percha and
copper conductor forming the cable
must be more and more compressed
us they descend. Tims the cable
constantly increases in density, or
spt'-ifie gravity, in going down,
while the equal bulk of water sur
rounding it continues to have, prac
tically speaking, very nearly the
same sp? ? iii?1 gruvity as at tin; sur
fnce. Without this valuable prop
erly of water Hie hydraulic: press
would not exist.
Some of the most distinguished
naval men have made the blunder
that is mentioned above. Even at
a comparatively recent period Cap
tain -Marryat of the British navy,
the celebrated nautical author,
wrote in one of his novels: "What
a mine of wealth must lie buried in
the sands! What riches lie entan
gled among its rocks or remain sus
pended in thc unfathomable gulf
where the compressed fluid is equal
in gravity to that which it encir
cles !"
When the first Atlantic cable was
about to be laid, to obviate this sup
posed difficulty it was gravely pro
posed to festoon the cable across nt
a given maximum depth between
buoys and floats, or even para
chutes, at which ships should call,
hook on and send messages to the
shore. Others proposed to apply
gummed cotton to the cable, set it
afloat and leave the gum to dissolve
and ulet the cable down quietly."
A Clow Yanftee.
Europe can never, it seems, get
usc i to thc Yankee way of doing
business, even in England, where
ono would think they had had
enough experience to understand us.
One London paper devotes con
siderable space to telling of the visit
of an American millionaire, who
cabled to a London firm that he
would call upon them on the next
Wednesday at 10:30 a. m. Almost
on the minute he arrived and talked
to the senior partner for twenty
minutes at a rate that almost gave
thc Londoner hewart failure. Next
day he came again and in thirty
minutes had closed a deal that
meant a good many thousand
pounds a year to the London firm
and on Saturday waa on the ocean
again bound for New York, leaving
the partners in a daze, which was
dispelled only by contemplating the
signature on the paper.
To us the wonder would be, not
how he finished his business so soon,
but what he diu with all that time
between Thursday and Saturday.
Boston Globe.
Goda of the Japanego.
Those who have described the
Japanese aa a godless people have
been a long way from the truth.
They have, on the contrary, about
8,000,000 gods, each of whom has
his own particular cult. As it would
be an obvious impossibility for one
person to pray to each of them in
dividually, the nation has surmount
ed the difficulty in an ingenious
manner. In certain streets are to
be found automatic machines. You
put in your piece of money-very
much smaller than a penny-and
the machine does the rest-that is
to say, it presents you with a piece
of paper on which a prayer is print
ed. And the most satisfactory part
of it is that you are then considered
to have said the prayer, however
long it be, and can thus work off
quite a number of gods at a moder
ate cost of time and money.
Too Much For Her Faith.
"Why are you weeping, Penel

"I have lost mv faith in the Bi

"But, my darling, perhaps I can
explain. Tell me what hos destroy
ed your faith, and I may be able
to"

COURTING IN TIBET.
K Barter In Which the Wishes of the
Woman Are Ignored.
"When a Tibetan warrior, surfeit
ad with the glory of martial life,
?osires a wife, he waits upon the fa
ther of the girl who has attracted
his eye and makes an offer of mar
riage. The father, after weighing
the matter carefully, for a refusal
is likely to provoke a long and
bloody feud, in turn waits upon
thc priests and acquaints them with
the nature of the offer, at the same
time paying to them a munificent J
bribe in order to secure the answer
of the deities as to whether tho
marriage should be entered into.
The wife seeker, should he be dip
lomatie enough, has meantime car
ried a larger bribe to the lamas,
who "bleed" both father and suitor j
to the limit of safety, when the de
cision of the deities is given.
For a month the accepted suitor
must keep the family of his favored
one supplied with meat and other ?
luxuries and must be on his guard |
against rival suitors. At the end
of a month the chosen one is invited
to a grand feast by the father of
the girl, where the betrothal is seal
ed by cadi cutting a small incision
in the arm and mingling the blood
flowing from the wound. This func-,
tion of blood brotherhood having
been finished, the girl is brought
forward, smeared with grease and
various colored pigments, adorned
in all her finery and with a rope
tied around her neck as a badge of
subservience. Then ensues a scene
of 11 ie shrewdest bargaining, the fa
ther dilating on the good points of
the girl much in the manner of a
connoisseur of blooded stock. The
wishes of the woman are never con
sulted, hut the bargaining goes on
for days and even weeks until a
final settlement has been arrived
at. The requisite price having been
paid, she is led to the house of her
husband, where she is subjected to
a severe baating in order properly
to humble her spirit and made to
run around the village loudly pro
claiming the merits and valor of her
husband.-W. C. Jameson Reid in
