opment. the mineral and agricultural
resources OF Cuba would render that
island one Of the richest regions of the
globe. nbut the curse Of Spanish rule
IL alike on the farmer and planter, on
the merchant and miner and the same
merciless taxation alike prevents all
from attaining any measure Of sue
cess or prosperity. 1
The history OF Cuba has been one
uniform record OF Spanish depravity,
spoliation and oppression. Spanish rule
began with the destruction OF the entire
native population. At the discovery
of the island by Christopher Columbus,
1t was peopled with race OF gentle,
inoffensive Indians, whose worst fault
was their laziness. The discovery was
made In 1902, the island was complete
ly overrun by the Spaniards In 1911,
the natives were enslaved, and so great
was the barbarity with which they
were treated, that, In 1884, the colonIsts
petltloned the Grown to be allowed to
import African slaves at once, that
they might be injured to toll in the
fields before all the Indians perished
African slavery began shortly after,
and formed the second black spot on the
Spanish record. The third, and perhaps
the most detestable of all, has been the
treatment of the native Cubans. In
their own country they have been sub
jected to every form of political and
social oppression that the ingenuity Of
the Spaniards could devise. The latter,
from the captain general down to the
meanest custom house clerk, have gen.
orally regarded their positions as given
them for the purpose Of enabling them
to enrich themselves, and have carried
out this idea to the fullest possible ex-
tent. The people have been robbed, le-
gally and illegally, plundered and tax
ed to death, so that the Industrial
growth Of the island under the circum-
stances is something quite marvellous.
AS class, the native Cubans are far
superior to the Spanish tyrants who
have dominated the island, and their
restiveness under the control Of the
foreign element is easily understood
and appreciated. Time and again have
they risen in insurrection, but the lack
of arms and the overwhelming forces
that on the first appearance of trouble
were poured into the island have up
to the present prevented success Stories
of Spanish atrocities are of almost
daily occurrence in the newspapers

A Parrot,s Inference.

Among the neighborhood stories told
and implicitly believed In the Massa-
chusetts town Of w. Is one which we
should be slow In asking any reader to
credit, but which is interesting as an
example of the local wit In story max
ing. The wife Of Deacon Saunders, an
excellent citizen Of the place, is said to
have possessed a parrot of exceptional
intelligence and remarkable conversa-
tional powers.
On onesoccasion Mrs. Saunders waS
making cucumber pickles. She had
the cucumbers In dish on the kitchen
table, and was stirring kettle Of hot
vinegar and spices over the fire with a
wooden spoon. While thus engaged
she CHANGED to turn about, and saw the
parrot making OFF with one Of the Gu
cumbers.
"Ha, you rascal! You've been steal
ing pickles!" she exclaimed, and threw
the wooden spoon, dripping with boiling
vinegar, ut the bird.
1t struck him on the top of his head,
and though 1t inflicted no serious In
jury, its effect was to take the feathers
entirely off the top Of the birds head,
leaving him bald for a season.
Some time afterward a minister from
another town came to preach at the w.
church, and took dinner at Deacon
Saunders. He was quite bald. Az the

to gain their liberty has been attended
by barbarities similar to those now be-
ing perpetrated on captured Cubans.
They have been hung and shot by doz-
ems. they have been sent In strings to
the garrote, to the galleys, to the pris-

the South Seas rode triumphant over
the Spanish main, would be converted

cuffs and branding irons, the maracles,
stakes, thumb screws and other instru-
ments of Spanish cruelty, and the pref
ty Cuban girls in the cigarette factories
would learn enough English to respond
to the ardent advances Of lovers from
the States. That the day Of Cuban
freedom may be delayed Is possible,
for the island is too rich a plum for
The Spaniards to relinquish willingly,
but that 1t will always remain under
the oppressive rule Of n nation whose
administration of civil affairs Is some
what better than that Of Dahomey, and
somewhat worse than that of Turkey,
is not for moment to be believed.

Accommodating Landlord.

A correspondent assures us that he
never knew that 1t was possible for an
innkeeper to be too accommodating to
his guests until he went down to Nova
Scotia recently, and put up at pleas
ant little hotel In the country. The
landlord of this hotel laid 1t down as
one Of his principles Of action to give
people little more than they asked
for-to be extra accommodating" as
he termed 1t.
The landlord brilliantly illustrated
his adherence to this principle the very
morning after our correspondents ar
rival ut the hotel The guests had to
go away on the seven o'clock train that
morning, and asked the proprietor to
call him at six. The guest went to
sleep In the calm assurance that he
should be aroused at the proper hour.
He seemed hardly to have fallen into
a sound sleep when he heard terrific
pounding at his door. He sprang up,
wide awake.

-Four o'clock! Four o'clock!' came

door; 1.-TWO hours more to sleepw
1t is needless to say that the guest
slept no more that morning. The land
lords anxiety to be extra accommo-

whining Children.

DIR. Mary Wood-Allen, writing In
Womankind of breaking children of the
habit OF whining says: I'm this case,
should say, that the first thing to do
Is to secure the cordial cooperation of
every other adult member of the fam.
lily. Let there be united purpose never
to give to the child that for which he
whines, even IL It would be given to
him otherwise. Give him to under
stand this in a firm but gentle way, and
II possible secure his approval of the
idea. Tell him kindly of the evil OF the
habit, the unhappiness it causes him
and every one else, show him that It Is
creating a habit for the future years
and tell him you are all going to help
him to overcome 1t. Let him feel that
your refusal to grant his whining re-
quests are to aid him, not to punish
him. Then steadily, persistently,
sweetly and firmly, adhere to this pol
Icy. Never once yield to his insistence,
but always recognize his attempt to
meet your wishes In pleasant manner.
If the thing he wants is something he
should not have, tell him so, and as
sure him that no amount Of whining
will secure 1t, and then let him whine.
Wait. don't scold, don't tantalize, don't
appear to be either disturbed or moved
by his whining. If what he desires IL
something he can have, and he whines
for 1t, assure him that as soon as hi
asks pleasantly he can have 1t, and
then give him time to make up his
mind to be pleasant. We are too apt
to try to drive our children rapidly
from one frame of mind to another.
Wait patiently, and If possible help
him by d.verting his thoughts to some
thing agreeable. In few minutes he
will probably get control Of himself.
1t Is often a very touching sight to wit
ness the efforts of children to gain self
CONTROL sometimes under the stings Of
the tantalizing reproaches Of their eld-
ers.-Womankind.

there Is made q sleeve that fits close on
the inside of the arm from the wrist to
the hollow under the shoulder and on
the outer side of the arm is loose and
pulled to the elbow. This sleeve is
made of transparent material. and is
laced up the inside Of the arm, the
flesh showing between the cords, while
the draping on the puffs soften the ell

material allows the general contour Of

along its edges to the rest Of the dress
and exposing slightly just that part Of

The abundance with which this re-

have not proved an unmixed blessing TO
the dwellers In tropical regions. An

It Is a pity, for tropical America does

the question may well be asked, What
ruin will not be wrought when the con
6ict Is waged with the savagery pecu-
har to the Spanish forces?
The general physical characteristics
Of Cuba are too well known to need
description, but few, even Of better In
formed readers, are aware of the re-
sources of the island or Of the extent
to which it Is blessed by nature In the
matter of climate and vegetable pro-
auctions. We are accustomed to think
of Cuba as hot country, situated as 1t
is under the tropics, and the common
impression is correct to the extent that
the mean average temperature Of the
year is higher than in countries further
north, but the climate is more equable,
there are not those sudden variations
that In many parts of the United States
are so severe on the human constitu-
ton. In Havana, for example, the av-
erage temperature Of the hottest month
Is "a degrees, Of the coolest, u. In

high figures, but not very high for an
island lying In equatorial regions and
surrounded by water that Is warm to
the hand all the year round. To a
stranger from dry country a feature
more Objectionable than the steady
heat Is the tremendous rainfall. The

A great number of heavy cables will

vorable to aerial navigation.
A heavy snowstorm would probably
be disastrous to the balloon, but in the

that the ice which surrounds the pole
