Some of the fruits that I have eaten and enjoyed are the orange, lemon, lime, banana, grape, muskmelon, fig, water melon, pineapple, sapodillo mango, pomegranate, guava, sweet tamarind, shaddock, granadillo, alligator pear, nie and custard apple. Of these the pine apple and mango are the best. There is no comparison between the pineapple gathered fresh and those sold in Bir- mingham.
 The mango is stringy and messy to eat, but it is the most delightful fruit that grows, and can be eaten at any time and in any quantity without fear of their hurting you The banana is really no better here than at home. They are nev- CT allowed to ripen on the tree, but are pulled green and allowed to ripen in the houses. I may have something to say about the banana, it's cultivation, etc., in another letter.
 There is an opera house and a nice club here, to both of which was invited. The club rooms are in low house, with cool, stone floors and an open court with a fountain. The members spend their evenings playing billiards, caSds and dominoes, smoking, drinking and gossiping, just as they do in the South ern club-only it is done in French.
 I attended the opera house, with sev- eral members of the club, to hear ''I1 Trovatore' sung. It was a motley and heterogeneous assemblage that met my gaze. There were well-dressed ladies with their attendants, negroes, men, wo- men and children, soldiers, policemen. The boxes were we'll filled, but evidently not with the fashionables. Some of them were occupied by half-breeds, and there was a sprinkling of negroes. The int terior was dark, owing partly to the corn- plexion of the auditors. Between acts, in order to get breath of fragrant air, I initiated my friends into the American custom of going out to see a man.
 The principal singers were white, but in the chorus there an adm1xture of black with a. few whites thrown in. It was funny to see these colored chorus singers rigged out in tights. "Maurico" was fairly rendered, "Azucena'' was worse CT seen her'), but "Eleanora" was very good indeed
 I believe this island, Jamaica and Cuba are the only ones on which there is a the ater. The others don't miss much, however, If they are no better than the St. Pierre opera house.

MAYOR VANHOOSE
Receives a Contribution From the North for the CoIored Episcopal Church on
 Southside.

Mayor VanHoose has recently received $S50 from northern people for the benefit of the Colored Episcopal church on the Southside. This makes about $S0O0 that has been given by northern philanthro- pists to this church. This amount of money all came from the north, and is just that much added to the local circu- lation, and goes to pay off one debt after another.
 All honor to the northern philanthro- pists who feel such an interest in the education of the negro. The Springfield Republican has suggested that one-half of the receipts of the football games in the north should be given to the cause of education in the south. If this sugges- ton is adopted the south would receive a handsome sum. The receipts of the Yale-Princeton game were 10000.

working gentlewomen in cases of illness:
 Well, one of these girlworkers is struck down, then comes in the lady nurse to attend her, stay with her, and do everything for her, all for nothing. The lady nurse would belong to the associa- tion. It would be sisterhood without VOWS, in which everybody was well off; there would be no poverty, no celibacy, no perpetual litanies, and only one rule, prioress, or head, one must go off and att tend a sick lady, stay with her until she IS well, and, if necessary, pay what money might be required to pull her through. I wonder if this note will find response in any lady willing and able to take up such project and carry it through"

I HE DOG.

Charles Dudley Warner writes in liar per's Monthly of dogs, and measures the civilization of men by their treatment of dogs. In some countries men rule the dogs, and in others the dogs rule the men. Constantinople is overrun with dogs, and the civilization of the Turk is a hopeless task. so long as he is under the dominion of the dog England has learned to govern the dog, and is a highly civilized nation. New England is under the dominion of the dog, and prefers by Mir Warner on the dog brings to mind a passage in the "Children of the Ghetto" ZangMill says that love for a mongrel

 Just outside of St. Pierre came sud- denly upon a native laundry The wash tub consisted of narrow, shallow stream, with rocky bed A large num- Der of black and yellow women were standing ankle deep in the stream with their dresses, if they had any on, tied up very high. They reminded one of ballet with flesh-colored tight of sombre colors. 1 averted my eyes to give them an opportunity to arrange their gowns, but they didn't do it, and didn't seem at all embarrassed. I watched them pum- melling doomed articles on sacrificial stones. They seemed to have a spite against the clothes judging from the way in which they pounded them.
 1 found the weather quite cool at the elevation of Morne Rouge, which is long, struggling settlement The church is plain and unpretentious without, but the interior, of cruciform shape, is exceed ingly beautiful with one high altar and two side altars dedicated respectively to the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph. De- Vout pilgrimageS are made here, and there is certainly an air of sanctity about the place well calculated to in spire devotion in the minds prepared for religious impressions A few persons were scattered along the aisles saying their prayers, among them several negro boys, one of whom was just about to enter the confessional. The spirituality of this devout temple could not fail to impress even those who are not believers in it's creed.
 After a hearty meal at a cabaret, with several varieties of fruits, I started for St. Pierre and coasted five out of the six miles. My only regret was that I didn't have some of my Birmingham friends along to heln me enjoy the nleasllre

A Large Contract.

Baltimore Sun-
 The development of the coal and coke industry of southwestern Virginia has. bean very remarkable during the last five years, but there has been no an nouncement which accentuates this de- velopment more strikingly than that which now Somes from Roanoke that the Pocahonsas Coal company has just entered into a contract with the Illinois Steel company of Chicago to supply that great manufacturing enterprise with 50o, ,000 tons of coke during the year 1896. An idea of the great size of this order may be gained froms the statement that it will require a daily average of about eighty cars during the entire year to com plete the contract As a producing coal the Pocahontas product has been pronounced unsurpassed Tdhe Norfolk and Western railroad will be benefited by this contract. as it will haul this coke to Columbus, Ohio, over its own lines, and from that point is has satisfactory traffic arrangements to Chicago

A GOHO EiOU6 OFEHh OIIOIah. Worn at the Fetes for the King of Port

The latest make of evening cloak re- calls the domino style, well pleated in at the back, so that the base is wide and ample. These pleats have to be dimin- ished and arranged in most clever way on the lining that supports them to pre- vent the back looking clumsy.

 Her ideas of the greatest stage roles chime well with popular opinion. She says: For men unquestionably the great est part Is Hamlet. For women the great est part is that of Lady Macbeth. If you turn to comedy the greatest part is in As You Like It.. But aside from that one I rank Moliere with Shakespeare as a writer of comedy.

ported from Flanders and Lombardy, but

cious crossing and careful selection Of
parents The Stuarts first introduced quail
ity, but size was wanting, for when VIII
liam III assembled the throne and sought
to drain the Lincolnshire fens he found
that the British carthorse of this date was
not strong enough for the tasks imposed
upon him, consequently he imported large
Dutch horses-the old Lincolnshire blacks.
The Dukes of Ancanster also brought
over to England similar breeds from
Holland. This was the first step of any
note which gave an impetus for the i'm
provement of our coarser equine stock, and
formed the main root from which our cart
horses have proceeded. Our grandfathers
have told US how their fathers expatiated
on the merits of those horses, of their size
and feats of strength, how the blacks with
white legs and blazes were most esteemed.
These animals or their descendants in time
became located all over England, and thus
good cross of fresh blood found its way
to the descendants of the old tournament
horse and procured that increase in size
and strength for which our present breed
