its natural colors, is “Through

Victory, unaccompanied by blood

lasquez. And when the chief of
the Cubans was caught (he was
called Hauty) Velasquez tied him

ated in ; his opinion that he
mitted it to writing in order
posterity might know of his
viction. But in this detail the
ortal discoverer was in error,
here is something noble, uu-
ding and stubborn about Cuba.
Spanish have never been able
onqiier even the name. Co
hns called the island Juana
.lie hr.nor of the son and heir
W u ■ and Isabella. This
'• u afterwards changed to
i. When the king died

This noble conquest was fitly
followed up by Velasquez, who
promptly undertook to civilize the
island by dividing the Indians
among his friends. The original
Cubans were made slaves, and
Cuba began to blossom with plan
tations. Within forty years the
island was producing magnificent
crops, but these crops were fat
tened by the lives of the slaves.
Before half a century had passed
the original Cubans had been
beaten and worked to extinction.
Negro slaves took the place of the
native slaves, and in this fact lay
the germ of ultimate liberty, for
from that stock sprang the glori
ous family of Maceo and liberty-
loving, Spaniard-hating family
of Masso, one of whose sons in now
president of the infant republic.
With the extinction of the Cib-
! back, as Weyler has done in these
; days. This proves that Spain has
j not advanced an inch in civiliza-
j t ^ # _
j tiori for centuries. Give her un-
! trammeled power and she seems
to be as heartless 1 , as cruel, as dead
to sympathy as the Papuan.
Meanwhile negro slaves, the
i trade in whom was made free, were
I
i poured into the island by the
thousands. Early in the last cen
tury there were nearly 100,000 ne
gro slaves in Cuba. And for tvven-
j ty-rlve years the importation cuu-
i tinned with a steady How. Now,
i .
j m Cuba there was miscegenation.
| The Ivamre and the other negroe-
| were improved by the mixture with
| the Mediteranesev blood. When
| they becojnefree—in a narrow way
—they longed for more liberty.
The anti-Spanish began to tak^
substance and form. It waxed
with the growth of liberty all
about it through the range of North
a u d South A m e r i c a. T h e Cuban
half-breed sucks the milk of hatred
and liberty from the breasts of his
dusky mother, and in his father’s
fierce eye he saw liberty and re
venge in the future. The holy
cause won, by very strength of
sympathy, re-enforced by Spanish
cruelty, blood and life. The tra
dition was relentless. Death or
liberty was the cry nearly one
i hundred years ago.
In the year 1848 the United
| States of America turned her eyes
! toward Cuba. The half-breeds,
i
the Spanish-Cuban and the
naturalized islander saw in that
glance the light of an undying
hope. From that moment Cuba
iibre was as certain as death. It
was only the other day that Senor
Canalejas said that so long as the
rebels saw in the United States the
hope of sympathy Spam can never
be able to crush the insurrection,
and that Spaniards might as well
make up their minds ior war. As
long ago as 11825 Spain saw her
doom in Cuba. In that year she
proposed to'pay this country con
siderable commercial con cessions
if the United States would guaran
tee the continued possession of
Cuba by the Spanish government.
President Polk offered Spain $100,-
000,000 for the . island, but the
Spaniards (who have not been too
haughty to buy protection) scorn
fully rejected the proposition.
Fifty years ago Narcisco Lopez
died at the garrotiug stake for
Cuban liberty and his companions
in revolt were shot in the back.
And then came the ten years war.

I es.viiv on its proper liomen-1 mained in desuetude for a long
time, or at least until the negro
slave trade became efficient. Ve
lasquez built cities, improved the
harbors and laid the foundation of
the government. In 1537 the king
of Spain acquired the right to ap
point the governor, and the first
“captain general” by royal decree
was Hernando de Soto. Santiago
had been the capital, but in 1552
the seat of the government was re
moved to Havana. The popula
tion diminished, and the island
languished for more than a cen
tury, owing to Spanish laws for
bidding anyone but Castillians to
settle in Cuba under pain or death.
There has beeu revolution and
discontent and the love of libertv
iu the very air and breath of Cuba
from the first. The finality of
Spanish rule has never been ac
cepted there except by the helpless
Indians, and they died. The first
revolution began in 1717, and that
revolution kept Spain busy for a
century. It was not quelled (its
spirit was never crushed) until the
beginning of the present century.
In 1723 another revolution broke
out within the first. In that revolt

“ I W as in good health up to about 15
years ago, w T hen I began to suffer from
constipation and piles, and neglect ol
a cold brought on catarrh, followed by
heart difficulty, aud liver and kidney
troubles. My constitution fought against
them all, until my suffering drove me to
consultation with my father, who was a
physician. He advised me to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. Having confidence in his
judgment I began taking the medicine, to
gether with Hood’s Pills, and I ended
with them, taking no other medicines,
and the benefits I have derived from them
have been great and surprising. Since
then Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been to me,
as my husband says, ‘a friend in need’.’’

What a Farmer Can Do.
He can raise from 200 to 300
bushels of sweet potatoes, or from
100 to 400 bushels of Irish potatoes
to the acre, and for $50 he can
build a house that will keep them
the year round. . •
He can plant one acre of arti
chokes and fatten 50 hogs on it;
the hogs can do their own digging
and waste nothing.
He can raise all kinds of stock
100 per cent cheaper than it can be
done further north.
IIe wi 1 i iiot have to fertilize hie
land to make it yield a good har
vest, although here as elsewhere,
judicious fertilizing generally
pays.
He can run a farm without a
mortgage on it.
He can raise finer fruit, a greater
variety and more of it than any
other country in* the world.
He can have vegetables on his
ta ble *th e year rou n d.
He can plant one acre in cane
and make 200 gallons of beautiful
clear syrup with no sorghum twang
to it.
Bees require no attention further
than taking what honey you wish.
Wet land, sown in red rop, forms
an everlasting meadow of the finest
hay in the w orld.
One bale of cotton is the average
yield, although one and a half bales
per acre is not an uncommon
crop.
There never has been a total
failure of crops since the war, and
but few. partial ones.
One hundred peach trees can be
planted to the acre, and three to
five bushels of choice fruit per tree
can be counted on after the third
year.—Cotton Belt.
A fine disposition sees plenty of
fine weather.
Eating Before Going to Bed.
A writer m Italia Termale
quoted by the National Druggist,
is not much in favor of the theory
that late suppers are injurious.
“He declares, m fact,” says the
latter paper, “that many persons
who remain thin and weakly, in
spite of all precautions in regard
to diet, etc., owe the fact largely
to habitual abstemiousness at
night. He says, very truly, that
physiology teaches us that, in
sleeping as in waking, there is a
perpetual waste going on in the
tissues of the body, and it seems
but logical that nourishment
should be continuous as well. The
digestion of food taken at the din
ner time, or in the early evening
is finished, as a usual thing, before
or by bedtime, yet the activity of
processes of assimilation, etc.,
progress for hours afterward, and
when one retires with an empty
stomach, the result of this activity
is sleeplessness, and an undue
wasting of the system. ‘All other
creatures,’says the writer, ‘outside
of man, are governed by a natur:*
instinct, which leads those having
a stomach to eat before. lying
down for the night.

trulv beneficial manner , when the
Springtime comes, use the true and

Sane Advice to Young Artists.
“Don’t give in” was about the gist
of what Sir Wyke Bayliss said to the
English art students in a lecture at the
South Kensington museum. He told
them what ought to be their watchword:
‘ ‘ Do not believe, he said, in the in
sidious lie that the devil is always
whispering to the soul of the artist
that the golden age of art is past and
that what was done yesterday cannot be
done today, for art is in its decadence.
Such an assertion was the danger of the
time, and he would have them track it
to its sonree and kill it thera It had
two forms—despondency and tempta
tion—but be urged them not to be in
fluenced by either. Let their study be
based upon knowledge, the knowledge
that had accumulated during the ages
and was formulated in what was known
as academic training, and let their
knowledge in turn be based upon thcii
own study. ”
Certainly that is the best of advice,
for what has been done before can be
done again.
Arm Tmm Weak!
Weakness manifests-itself in the loss of
ambition and aching bones. The blood is
watery; the tissues are wasting—the door is
being opened for disease. A bottle of Brawns’
Iron Bitters taken in time will restore ydvtr
strength, soothe your nerves, make your
blood rich and red. Do yon more good
than cn expensive special course of medicine.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.
No Room for Doubt.
Proof, yes overwhelming proof can
be furnished of the excellent curative
qualities of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.
“I caught a cold which led to a cough
and pain in the chest, (pneumonia?) I
bought Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, and
after taking one bottle of it, the cough
began to disappear; when I finished
taking the second bottle I cured.

Engine and Fire Room
tures on a Warship.
The great internal heat that rendered
the Amphitrite inefficient was due to
lack of provision for ventilation in the
engine and boiler spaces. These regions
became so hot that little useful work
eould be done in them, and the lack of
par was such as to actually ruin the fur
nace draft, smoke coming out freely
from the holes in the furnace doors.
Aside from two small ash hoist tubes
in the central part of the fireroom and
a small escape hatch forward, there
were no openings from the fireroom tc
the outer air.
The boilers reached nearly to the iron
main deck of the vessel, and as the air
above them and between the deck beams
had no escape it became greatly heated
and lay roasting in those spaces. It was
impossible for a man to go on the grat
ings behind the upper parts of the boil
ers after they had been under steam a
few hours, though the main and auxil
iary stop valves were there. A board of
officers that reported on temperatures in
the vessel got at this place only by in
troducing a thermometer on the end of
a long pole, and this thermometer,
when fished out and taken to a place
where it could be read, showed 202 de
grees.
The superstructure containing the
cabin and wardroom was directly above
the engine and boiler rooms, with a
light wooden floor laid over the iron
main deck At sea, with the doors
closed, this habitation became exactly
like a frying pan on a hot stove lid.
The smoke pipe, partly uncovered for
alleged ventilating purposes, passed
through the center of the wardroom and
by vigorous radiation contributed its
full share to the general discomfort -
The deck, m spite of its wooden sheath
ing, was so hot as to be painful, and I
hesitate to say from memory the tem
peratures the board reported as being
usual in the rooms, in bureau drawers,
on the wardroom table and in other
parts of the officers’ quarters. It was as
high as 112 degrees, and I think great
er. Sleep was oniy a period of uncon
sciousness, induced by utter exhaustion,
and was without restful quality.
The fireroom temperature was never
below 150 degrees and often above 170,
while the engine room ranged closely
about 150 degrees. For the first 24
hours the men stood it well, but on the
second day seven succumbed to the heal
and were put on the sick list, one of
them nearly dying. Before the voyage
was ended 2d had been driven to seek
medical attendance.
On the evening of the fourth day out
our men had literally fought with fire
to a finish and had been vanquished.
The watch on duty broke down one by
one and the engines, after lumbering
along slower and slower, actually stop
ped for lack of steam. The ship was al
lowed to drift inshore on the tide and
was finally brought to an anchor in St.
Simon’s sound. * Thoqgh a warship of
formidable characteristics and sent on
this distant service, it is doubtful if the
Amphitrite could have gone into action
at that time or have steamed 100 miles
farther to save herself.—F. M. Bennett,
