The Island of Cuba.

The following in regard to the Island
of Cuba is from banking correspond
ent, whose Information may be relied
on:
To the Editor of the Neao York Times i:
The following facts regarding Cuba
NAV at present be of interest to your
readers The island is the most fertile
and the largest of the West India ISL
ands Columbus said it was the most
beautiful land eyes ever beheld Its
length is about 750 miles, and its
breadth about forty miles. The Island
of Great Britain is about $50 miles
long, with an average breadth of
about 200 miles, which will give some
idea Of the comparative size of Cuba.
Cuba contains some 800 square
miles of territory and is remarkable
for its general salubrity of climate
aud great productiveness of soil.
No land has ever suffered more
from gross misgovernment. 1t has
been the prey alike Of the old buccan-
GERS and the modern tilibusters, not to
speak OF Its Own internal revolutions
and frultless uprisings; in fact during
the present century 1t has never known
permanent tranquility. The misgov-
eminent Of the Spanish authorities has
been outrageous, whether the island
has been under Constitutionalists or
ADsolutists. In spite of this, It's natu-
raj resources have been such that at
present It's annual aggregate sugar ana
coffee crops are about S75, 600, 900, and
its exports and imports together $780,
900, 600 The total population is about
L, 800, 900, so it can be imagined how
greatly that would increase, and its
productions accordingly, under a
Government so beneficient as ours. We
hope the Virginius slaughter Will bring
things to a crisis, and that better days
are IN store for the Queen of the An

A Dangerous Paper.

The green paper used to wrap about
lozenges, seld IN shops, railway cars,
and on street corners, has long been
suspected to contain arsenic, and with
the view of ascertaining the facts by
analysis, we recently purchased roll
of lozenges covered with this paper.
A qualitative examination of the
paper afforded all the characteristic re-
actions for arsenic and copper. The
wrapper contained 20 square inches of
paper. o. this 16 were taken for guam
titative analysis. The result of the
examination showed that this por
ton contained 1916 grams, or 2.34
grains of metallic arsenic. This
is equivalent to 2.94 grams IN
the whole of the wrapper, a quantity
Sufficient TO destroy life IN an adult
person. Children in all parts of the
country are allowed to purchase the
l0zenges covered with this poisonous
paper, and the rolls are often put into
the hands OF infants as a plaything. As
everything goes into the mouths OF
Young children, it is easy to see that
no more dangerous substance can pass
into family than these packages Of
confectionery. 1t Is quite probable
That instances of poisoning have oc-
CURED from this cause which have
been of q serious or fatal character.
There should be laws prohibiting tne
use of poisonous paper for any pur,
pose.

A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The percept-
i've faculty of women is usually keener
than the same chronological organ in
men. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genus is worshlpped by the stern
er sex A man may talk with his lips
of the latter to his lazy love, bat the
keenness OF the woman knows that he
IS thinking OF the former IN his heart.
All women have an innate desire to
please their be0ur. They are fond of
admiration, hence one of their lOngings
Is TO be beautiful. The grand secret of
female beauty is health--the secret of
health is the power to eat, digest and
asslmilate a proper quantity Of whole
some food. Take VINEGAR BITTERs.
1t will cleanse the stomach, tone the
vital organs, give a perfect digestion,
purify the blood, clear up the COM
plexion and produce state of mental
and physical electricity which gives
symmetry of form, bright ewes, white
skin, glossy hair and genuine type of
female loneliness which no cosmetic
can compare yith.-COm.

the eminent civil engineer, who is nc

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Sh1iukaEe Of Grain

A series of experiments, instituted to
test the average loss IN weight by dry
ing, shows that corn loses one-tifth and
wheat one-tourteenth by the process.
From this the statement is made that
farmers will make more by selling I'M
sheled corn IN the fall at 70 cents than
the following summer at 81 90 per
bushel; ana that wheat at 81, 30 IN De
eember IS equal to $3.50 for the same
wheat IN the following June. This
estimate is made on the basis of inter
est at seven per cent, and takes no
account Of loss from the depredations
