LIFE AMONG THE CUBANS.
PITHY - PARAGRAPHS DESCRIBING
CUBAN MANNERS AND CUSTOMS.
The Machete as an Implement of
Many Uses—What Cuba’s Soil
Produces—People Are Hospitable.
HE machete in Cuba is put to
more uses than any other im¬
plement in the world, not ex¬
cepting the hairpin.
It is the Cuban baby’s first (and
only) toy.
The Cuban boy chops kindling with
it.
When a Cuban marries he cuts up a
couple of palm trees for four posts
and a roof-tree; another variety of
the same tree furnishes bark for the
walls and thatch for the roof, with
string to bind it withal. The result
is 10 a a house. uuunc. And 4 " ,q ail 0,1 at ° f +l the ’ cost of one

The Cubans are invariably hospita
hie. You ride along on one of their
little ambling horses and the alleged
r° a d may take you right into the front
door of a farmhouse.
It would go right through the back
door if there was one. As there isn’t,
the road meanders round the house,
loses itself in the clearing, and when
you want to continue your journey
they furnish yon with any one of a
dozen grimy httle urchins to show you
where the roads starts again.
You are invariably asked to dis¬
mount, the colloquial Cuban being,
“Will you take coffee?” and “Do you
wish to smoke?”
The black coffee, served in small
cups, is rich, and the Cubans do not
sell their best tobacco.
From six to ninety-six years of age
everybody smokes.
When the “good days” have been
passed with the good manners to be
found in every Cuban household, and
it relapses into its accustomed ways,

Products of Hawaii.
The island of Hawaii is the largest
of the Hawaiian group, having an area
of 4,216 statute square miles, an acre¬
age of 2,500,000 and a population ex¬
ceeding 27,000. It is situated in 20
degrees, 30 minutes, 19 seconds, north
latitude. Its relative size to the en¬
tire group is five-eights of all. Its
population is about one-third that of
all the islands, and probably more
than that of Honolulu and the island
of Oahu. In its natural resources it
has more than that of all the other is¬
lands of the group combined, having
twenty-five sugar plantations in active
operation, controlling over 100,000
acres of land, of which over 40,000 are
in actual cultivation for sugar growing
purposes. These plantations give em¬
ployment to over 10,000 men and wo¬
men and produce an average of over
73,000 tons of sugar annually, of the
average value of $3,500,000.
This sugar product is not far from
one-half of the entire product of all
the islands of the group. In addi¬
tion to the raising and manufacture of
sugar, some of the plantatations have
large stock and dairy interests, one,
Hutchinson Plantation company, hav¬
ing over 3,000 head of stock, and the
Kukalan Plantation company, which
breeds and raises the best of horses,
mules, jacks, cattle, sheep, goats, hogs,
etc., having a large herd now on its
place. It also has a large dairy in
connection with its other interests, in
which are 500 cows, 150 of which are
milked daily. This plantation has
about eighty acres of coffee growing.
The crop this year from forty acres is
estimated at 91,530 pounds of berries.

A dealer in stuffed animals, who al¬
so kept a few live creatures for sale,
gave his shop boy, who was permitted
to sell the stuffed specimens, orders to
call him when any one asked for any
of the living animals. One day a gen¬
tleman called and demanded a monkey.
“Any one of these?” asked the boy
who was in charge. He pointed to the
stuffed specimens.
“No; I want a live monkey,” an¬
swered the customer.
The boy stepped to the door of the
back shop and called to his master:
“You’re wanted, sir.’’--Youth’s Com¬

Mr. Harbor! Miles, special repre¬
sentative of the Interstate Savings
Loan and Trust Corporation, having
main offices 901 and 902 NoaveBldg.,
Cincinnati, O., sends, under dale of
September 3d, 1895, a testimonial
from his barber, Harry Scheid, of
211 West 6th St.: “I want to say,”
writes Harry, “that for eight
months I have taken three Hi pans
Tabules a day, and have not been to
see a doctor once since I com¬
menced to take them. Before I
would have to havo a big tube put
down my throat and have my
stomach flushed (I believe that is
what they call it) three times every
week by a doctor that charged mo
60 cents for every time. Of courso
that always gave me relief, but it
always came back again, and I can
tell you it was no fun to be pumped
out about every two days. Tho
doctor said I had catarrh of tho
stomach; but whatever it was It
don’t bother me now, but I still tako
one of Ripans after each meal, as I
am afraid to quit. I am a barber,
and for four years I was troubled,
so that I used to lose about three
days out of every month. I wish
you would have your Tabules kept
in more stores in Cincinnati, as
there are only two places where I
can get them. My attention was
first callod to your remedy by asking
what tho street car sign meant.
(Signed), IIahry Soheid.”
