FORTUNES IN FREE CUBA
AMERICANS WILL REAP RICH FINAN¬
CIAL HARVESTS THERE.
A Prose Poet Has Dubbed It “The Smile
of the Sea,” and It Now Beams on
Uncle Sam—Within Easy Reach ot Our
Largest Markets,
“Cuba is tbe smile of the sea,” says
the ever picturesque Ingersoll. It is
a country of wonderful resources.
Add to these its geographical position,
and we have the factors of a glorious
product. It is withiu easy reach of
New Orleans and other large markets
of the United States. Transportation
is cheap. The United States and
Cuba are reciprocal in productions.
We find there a ready market for
manufactured goods, and the island
sends us sugar, bananas and other
tropical productions. A tremendous
trade would spring up under free trade
conditions.
Cuba is the largest sugar producer
in the world. The Constancia planta¬
tion near Cienfnegos produced, 45,- ac¬
cording to the last Cuban census,
000,000pounds in a year. With Ameri¬
can energy and enterprise the island
could be made to produce 50,000,000
tons easily. There would he heavy
competition among experts in the pro¬
’ would
duction of sugar. These lands
be scientifically cultivated, and tbe
cane reduced by the diffusion process.
This is a steeping process. The cane,
finely-chopped up, is placed in large
iron cylinders and submitted to tbe
same process as tea in the housewife’s
teapot. Thus there is not more than
one-half of one per cent, of saccharine,
lost.
Cuba will be a market for sugar
malting machinery, agricultural ma
chinery, electric light appliances, rail¬
road supplies, wooden ware, etc. In
fact, there will be a ready and con¬
stantly increasing market for all our
productions, from clothes to catnip.
At present Cuba grows 30,000,000
pounds of tobacco leaf, which opens
up a field for American manufacture.
The 25,000,000 cocoanuts raised an¬
nually show the need of active and
energetic capital in a cocoauufc oil
factory. The 20,000,000 bunches of
bananas now grown yearly can be more
than doubled after political differences
have been settled and the trade of
America sets iu. Material is abun¬
dant for the manufacture of soap,
coarsely fibered cloths and many
kindred industries. Fruit farms on
an average make largo returns after
three years, except the banana, which
yields abundantly after the first year.
On the mountain slopes in the east
ern, central and western parts are the
finest coffee lauds in the world. In
1860 there were 800 plantations run¬
ning at a large profit. This kept up
for eight years, when the wearing ten
years’ war ruined them. They were
cither devastated or allowed to decay.
All these will be revived in regener¬
ated Cu?ba. It requires only small
capital to start a coffee plantation. A
half-crop is grown the third year, and
the fourth year secs the full yield. It
pays from twenty-five to one hundred
per cent, on ihe capital invested,
which is much too fascinating a prob¬
lem to remain long unsolved by Uncle
Sam’s enterprising family.
Tbe mineral wealth of the island is
incomputable and inexhaustible. The
copper mines are exceedingly’ rich,
and added capital and energy will de¬
velop them to a much greater degree.
The iron mines are capable of pro¬
ducing enormous quantities of Bes¬
semer iron ores. These ores are very
valuable aud known the world over to
manufacturers as “Spanish ores.” At
times strides on the smoke of factory
chimneys will be no novel sight m the
now paralyzed island. In a business
as well as political sense, Cuba has a
wonderful future.
Evidence of its richness is given by
the fact that Cuba was self-supporting
as early as 1827. Since that time it
has prospered steadily and exceed¬
ingly. It fias paid Spain since 1827
from $1,0(10,000 to $6,000,000 yearly.
Jt is a country wonderfully prosper¬
ous, and increases in prosperity when
let alone by its own and other peoples.
It has grown steadily richer despite
the fact that its per capita taxation is
three times that of the United States.
Now that Spain must forever keep
hands off the little island, and Ameri¬
can thrif will be infused into its slow
southern veins, we shall see great
things from it.
The climate of Cuba is in many
parts delightful. Being insular, the
heat of the sun is much tempered by
cooling breezes from the surrounding
waters. It is much more healthy than
is commonly supposed, the higher
portions being comparatively free
from the deadly disease of some of the
lowlands. The fearful mortality from
yellow fever in Havana is due almost
wholly to the horribly unsanitary con¬
dition of the city. The bay is a huge
cesspool that contains enough germs
of all sorts, kinds and conditions to
devastate the world. There is almost
no tideway in the bay—not more than
four inches. With American capital
and American business ability the
drainage of Havana and its consequent
improvement in matters of health are
foregone conclusions.
Americans will reap rich financial
harvests in Cuba, 5 whether it be an
nexed or not, and in the years not far
distant the population will be largely
American in either case. American
capital will predominate and Ameri¬
can ideas of government will obtain.
On account of the right hand of fel¬
lowship now extended by Uncle Sam,
Americans will be welcomed by the
Cubans, and given concessions greater
than any other nation. The relation¬
ship between the countries will be
very close, and the commercial inter¬
ests of one identical with those of the
other.
On account of its climate Cuba has

Feeding: l'et Uogs.
In small families there is often a
good deal of complaint that there are
no scraps left over from the meals to
feed the dog. To purchase regularly
the biscuits that come ready prepared
becomes after awhile a financial tax
that may be severely felt by those who
have but little means, and must make
that little go a great ways.
With a bit of good judgment and
care one may provide for this import¬
ant branch of the family at small ex¬
pense. After the soup is served there
is almost always a residiuum at the bot¬
tom of the pot. Put this iu a kettle
and keep it in a cool place until a con¬
siderable quantity of scraps and left¬
over soup accumulates. Pour into this
any surplus milk, sweet or sour, that
may be on hand, and place the kettle
on the stove to boil, stirring it fre¬
quently, that it may not burn. Then
stir in until it is as thick as it can be
handled some ground feed, such as is
prepared for farm animals and sold at
feed stores. This feed has a quantity
of coarse oats in it, and should be
sifted through an ordinary flour sifter
before it is stirred iqto tjjg soup. Re
move the keffle from the fire, and
when partly cool add one teaspoonful
of soda and two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder for every four quarts of the
batter. It may then be rolled out in¬
to biscuits, or dropped from a spoon
upon greased pans. Bake tbe cakes
until quite brown in very hot oven.
If packed in a dry place they will keep
indefinitely.
Ancient English Gallows.
For the present generation the
dreaded name of “gibbet” holds but
small significance; nevertheless,[there
still exist old folk who can tell blood¬
curdling tales of tbe creaking gibbet
and its gruesome load, and of spots of
evil fame where the restless spirits of
unburied malefactors were wont to
walk.
There are still some half-dozen gib
bet posts preserved in their original
positions, notably the Coombe gallows
on Inkpen Beacon, near Newbery; the
Caxton gibbet on the North Road, and
Jacob’s Post, which stands at the
north end of Ditcliling Common, Sus
sex.
Four and a half miles from Win¬
chester is to be seen a quaint old
cross, said to be the remnant of an old
gallows, last used about 1832.
It stands in the middle of a hedge
where four roads meet, at a spot lo¬
cally known as “Three Maids,” from
the gruesome legend concerning it
that tells how three girls were “quick
buried,” or buried alive to their necks
for murdering their father by pouring
molten lead into his ear. A kindly
wayfarer, so the story goes, fed one of
the girls with an apple, which kept
her alive three days longer than her
sisters.—News of London.
Sampson’s Start' in Life.
He was the son of a day laborer at
Palmyra, N. Y., and he came into the
world forty-eight years ago, when his
parents were in rather straitened
circumstances.
He did his share toward the main-.
tenance of the family by splitting
wood, raking hay and doing any chores
he could find to do among the neigh¬
bors; but he kept on going to school.
The lad’s industry and indomitable
pluck attracted attentiou. Congress¬
man Morgan, of Wayne County, took
an interest in him and gave him an
opportunity to try for the Naval
Academy. He passed his examination
with flying colors and was graduated
with honors in 1860. He stood higher
than Commodore Schley, who was in
the same class.
He early realized the importance of
good social connections to a young!
man who has to make his way in the
world, and he made the most of the
opportunities that came in his way.
He was a good tennis player, and the
young ladies invited him to then
parties on that account. He was of a
retiring, almost taciturn, disposition,
but be tried hard to overcome it, and
made many friends aud an advantage¬
ous marriage.
Ephesian Theatre Unearthed.
At Ephesus, near Smyrna, a large
theatre of the Roman period has been
unearthed by German excavators. It
is well preserved, three rows of seats,
the orchestra and the stage being in¬
tact. Under tbe orchestra some brass
musical instruments and some actors’
costumes were found. In addition the
aqueduct of the town, by which means
water was conveyed to a height of
nearly 300 feet, has been found, as
well as a great statue of Nemesis.
Culm’s Flag.
The flag of Cuba Libre is as old as
Cuban insurrection. Its origin dates
back in 1820, when the revolt against
the tyranny of Spanish misrule was in
its infancy. The provinces of the
Queen of the Antilles are represented
in the flag by the three blue and two
white stripes; their union in the cause
of freedom being fittingly signified in
the single wllite star in the triangular
red field—the star of free Cub.—Phil¬

A Fatality Avoided.
From the Democrat, Goshen , Twi.
When neuralgia i 3 accompanied by a dull,
heavy pain near the heart, frequently be¬
coming intense, it generally terminates
fatally. Mrs. Nancy Flynn, who lives near
Goshen, Indiana, survived such an attack
and her advice is worth heeding.
‘‘In the fall of ’92,” she said, “I began
to have trouble with my heart. There was
a sharp pain in my breast which became
rapidly worse. The doctor was puzzled
and put me under the influence of opiates.
These sharp attacks followed one another
at intervals and I became weak and had a
haggard look. I was constantly in pain,
seldom slept and had no appetite.
“At the end of two years I was confined
to my couch most of the time and the doc¬
tors agreed that my death was only a mat¬
ter of a short time.

“When I had finished one box I noticed
an improvement inmy condition, and when
1 had taken twelve boxes I was completely
cured. ‘Those pills have done for you
what we could not do,’ said one of my
physicians, ‘they have saved your life.’
“That was two years ago aud my heart
has not troubled me since. I beiieve I owe
my fife to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People, and I take pleasure in telling oth¬
ers about them.”
Among the many forms of neuralgia are
headache, nervousness, paralysis, apoplexy
and locomotor ataxia. Rome of these were
considered incurable until Dr. Williams’
Pink Piiis for Pale People were formu¬
lated. To-day thousands testify to having
been cured of such diseases by these pills. and

Spain Like an Ostrich.
Whatever sympathy European na¬
tions have to spare is certainly going
out to America. As far as the press is
concerned the change is complete. All
the principal papers of Paris favor
America. A few journals that do not
are hedging. The Matin has some sen¬
sible remarks on the war. They are
the more noteworthy, as the Matin is a
serious paper. “There are two things
in the Spanish-American war hard to
understand. What advantage is it to
the Spaniards to spread abroad news of
victory every timo they are beaten?
They have done nothing else since the
outbreak of hostilities. Then, again,
why do they forbid the sending of tele
gramg notlrijig from of value Madrid to the when enemy? they contain “This
is ostrich, really which the worn-out thinks policy of the silly

“Do government mules get seasick?’’
This was the interesting and somewhat
novel question propounded by Lieuten¬

the St. Louis Republic, upon the re¬
ceipt of a telegraphic order from Wash¬
ington to immediately ship 120 the mules
to San Francisco to go with rein¬
forcements to be sent to Rear Admiral
Dewey. The trip across the Pa¬
cific Ocean will take the mules
nearly half-way around the world,
the ocean voyage alone being 7,500
miles in a straight line from San Fran¬
cisco. Though the handling Quartermaster’s mules
Department has been
for many years, there was but one man
iu the place who could throw any light
on the matter. He had it from a horse
and mule trader that mules never be¬
came seasick, but horses do.
