Palma, Cuba, March 12.—From
reports which we receive from the
states, it is scarcely yet late enough
in the season for ice cream. Bat
Cuba is blessed with spring wea
ther, and the boys of Company F
of of Ray’s Ln manes, stationed at
Palma, are enjoying early fruits
and—greatest luxury of all—have
all the ice cream they care for.
Probably the majority of people
do not know that ice cream is a
fruit, that it grows on trees in trop
ical countries. Bat tbis is really
a fact. Cuba, nnder the Spanish
rale, was hindered rather than en
couraged, not only iD the pnrsoit
of the arts and'sciences, and in
adopting modern appliances, bnt
the Cabans were kepi in a most
primitive state of civilization, and
even in the larger cities luxuries
were scarcaly known.
Nature, however, took a hand SB
matters and sapplied the natives
with many things that were not on
ly necessary but really luxuries.
On the mountain sides and occa-
sTonally in the valleys, are groves
of a peeahar tree called the guan-
avana tree. Its leaves are’ narrow
aDd rather long, and at this season
of the year the branches are laden
with aD odd looking green fruit,
something like a mammoth gerkin,
often growing as large as”a mask
melon. This is the ice cream tree.
When ripe the fruit is soft and
is prepared for eating by catting
it in half: lengthwise. When this
is done you have two saucers of
ice cream-oi a delicious flavor with
half of a banana in each saucer.
The meat is always cold and
about as firm as ordinary well fro
zen cream. Ic may be prepared
when convenient, by peelingoff the
skin and putting the meat on a plate
adding a little sugar, as iu its ua
tive slate it is a little acid. «*■
Another delieacy that has given
our palates many pleasing surpris
es is a fruit about the color of a
pomegranite. Enclosed in a not
very thick skin is a thick snbstance,
which, for want of a better name,
we call egg custard. The fruit is
about the size of a Japanese plum
and is found in large quantities
around Palma.
Oar most important discovery,
however, in the way of eatables is
the butter fruit. Butter balls, the
size of small watermelons, growing
on trees A thin, red skin encloses
a quart or more of xicb, sweet
cream, that, when eaten, leaves the
taste of the purest creamery but
ter.
JThesa three fruits are our'latest
finds and they add much to onr ta
ble. In addition, «e have, of coarse
bananas, limes, mangoes, pineap
pies, oranges and cocoanats. We
have five varities of bananas—the
ordinary yeflowYariety, the dwarf,
only three inches long; a banana
with yellow skin and meat that
is almost ’darkj red; the red skin
variety; and a long variety that
when ripe is green in color and as
sweet as sugar.
In onr rambles through the
woods we have seen the large tree
gourds, two feet in diameter, that
grow out from the trank of the
tree, hanging by a small stem only
an inch or two long.
Sagar cane is very plentiful.
Our stay in Cuba is drawing to
a close, and we are making the best
of our spare time to explore the
country around our camp. So far
our most important and gratifying
discoveries have been "ice cream,
egg costard and batter, all growing
on trees and within easy reach.

Jesus Teaching Humility. John
18:1-17. Read the Chapter.
Golden Text,—“I have given
yon an example.” John 13: 15.
As onr ancestor forfeited all
rights on this earth by rebelling
against the England his posterity
therefore became trespassers; par
don was proclaimed to all who
should be born into the Eng’s fam
ily. “Whosoever-believeth that
Jesnsis the Christ is born of God.”
“As many as received Jesus, to
them gave He privilege to become
the sons of God, even to them that
believe on His name.” But His
children have no excuse for living
on the earth, except they live for
others.
Jesns set the example in this
lesson. Before the feast of the
Passover, having loved His own
children which were in the world,
hp loved them unto the end- And
after sapper He poured water iu a
basin, and washed the disciples’
feet, and wiped them with a towel,
and said to them, “If I your Lord
and Master, have washed vour feet,
ye ought also to wash one auothers
feet. For I have given yon an ex
ample, that ye should do as 1 have
done to you.”
“The Son of man came'not to be
ministered unto, but to minister,
aDd to give His life a ransom for
many.” “He went' about doing
good.” “He saved others.” Where-
ever He went, into cities,or village,
or country, they brought the sick
and laid them in the'street before
Him, that He might heal them, and
whoever touched Him was made
well. “Chriat also suffered for us,
leaving us an example that ye
should follow his steps.”
Endly helpful acts preach His
Gospel better than words; and if
we learn the lesson of Him who is
meek and lowly; and who said,
“Take My yoke npon yon, and
learn of Me,” we shall stop pleas
ing ourselves; and take our pleas
ure in serving o'hers for Him; for
He said, “One is your Master, even
Christ, and all ye are brethern ...
And whosoever will be chief among
you, let him be your servant.”
While they were at the table Je-
sas told them that one of them was
a traitor. He was also a thief, and
was so out of sympathy with serv
ing others, that he could .not re
main in tbis little company of be
lievers. And when Jndashad gone
out, Jesus' said to them, “A new
commandent I give UDto you, that
ye love one another, as I have lov
ed you, that ye also love one an
other. By this shall airmen know
that ye are My disciples, if ye have
love one to another ... As the Fa
ther hath lovefTMe, so have I lov
ed yon.”
What a beautiful world it would
be if we would all practice what we
preach about livings for others!
What would Jesus do? What if
for one single day we -should fol
low His steps? Who will try it?
What if we should wear “the orna
ment of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of
great price.” “For even hereunto
were ye called.”
The Southern Girl.
In concluding an editorial in
spired by a Southern girl’s regret
that she cannot go to college, Ed
ward Bok, in the April Ladies
Home Journal, has this to say to
the girls of the Southland: “The
Southern girl is surrounded by a
life far truer and more conducive
to self-development than girls liv
ing in other sections, because so
cial conditions are more normal.
Her life is healthier because it is
saner, and her mind, by reason of
it, is dearer and more constantly
at rest. The rnsh of life in the
North and West is not so stimula
ting as many Southern girls sup-
pose. On the contrary, it wears
women out as fast as it develops
them. In no part of oar country
do women look younger at maturity
than in the Sooth. To the South
ern girl, too, Nature blooms in a
profusion as she does nowhere
else. The natural history which
the Northern girl must get out of
books the Southern girl gets di
rect from Nature’s own hand. She
is born cf a soil as rich and color
ful m romantic history as is the lit
erature of Spain. This she . re
ceives as a natural heritage. Her
parents are, and her-encestors were,
among the best types of American
chivalry and American woman
hood. She bears bat one language
spoken, and that is her own. If
there is the introduction of anothe r
tongue it is French, and with these
two she can travel the world over
and never be at a disadvantage. The
religion which she learns from her
mother is the highest and best be
cause it is Untainted with modern
‘revelations.’ The truest friend and
safest teacher in ‘highest living’ a
girl can have is her mother, and in
the South mothers have a way of
finding time for their daughters
and being companions to them.
The Southern farmer is fond of his
children, and proves it by his pres
ence at the domestic hearth after
his day’s business is over.”
