give an idea, however, of the luxuriance
of vegetation on Cuban plantation.
The sugar cane grows to size equal

and spiny fruit is Il sight, once seen,
never to be forgotten. But even the
glory of the pineapple is excelled by
that of the banana plantation, with it's
great leaved trees and enormous
punches of fruit SO large as to occasion

their inspection Of the land of Canaan,
were not really grapes, but bananas.
The abundance with which this re-
markable plant yields it's fruit and the
little care required for it's cultivation
after plantation has once been made,
have not proved an unmiXed blessing to
the dwellers in tropical regions. An
acre of banana plants, with little or no
attention. will produce more than a
hundred times as much food as an acre
planted in wheat, and SO long as man
has food for himself and family to be
had for the trouble of picking it, there
is little incentive to labor. The excel
lence of the tobacco grown in Cuba has
become a proverb the world over, for
alike to smokers and to those who re-
grant Havana is typical of the habit.
Not every quarter of the island, how
ever, produces the tobacco whose flavor
is so highly regarded. Only a few

A Parrots 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 converse
tional powers.
On one occasion Mrs. Saunders was
making cucumber pickles. She had
the cucumbers in dish on the Kitchen
table, and was stirring a kettle of hot
vinegar and spices over the fire with
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 at the bird.
1t struck him OH the top of his head,
and though it inflicted no serious in
jury. it's effect was to take the feathers
entirely off the top of the birds head,
leaving him bald for 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. AS the
| family and the minister sat down at
the table, the parrot, who had the free
dom of the room, came up and perched
on the tall back of his chair, and eyed
the top of his head with close and
highly interested scrutiny. And then
the bird called out harshly:

river valleys. whose soil contains ele-
ments peculiarly favorable to the de-
velopment of the aromatic qualities of
the leaf. can be relied on for the genu-
inc Havana product, while much of the
tobacco of the island is little superior
to that grown elsewhere.
In any other country, and with rea-
sonably fair opportunities for devel-
oDment, the mineral and agricultural
resources of Cuba would render that
island one of the richest regions of the
globe, but the curse of Spanish rule
is 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.
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
it was peopled with race of gentle,
inoffensive Indians, whose worst fault
was their laZineSS The discovery was
made in 1892 the island was complete
ly overrun by the Spaniards in 1911.
the natives We're enslaved and so great
was the barbarity with which they
were treated, that in 1884, the colonists
petitioned the Crown to be allowed to
import African slaves at once. that
they might be injured to toll in the
fields before all the Indians persisted.
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
treat ment of the native Cubans. In
their own country they have been sub
iected 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

and several different varieties of mar
bic, some little inferior TO the best ltal-
IAN, have been found in different sec
lions of the island. None of these nat
ural resources, however. have been
developed as they should be, for the
policy of Spain has been rather to re-
press than to encourage the progress
of the island and its people. ana the
consequence is that the native wealth
of Cuba. while known to be immense
and varied. is, as yet. largely matter
of speculation. Such is not the case,
however. with regard TO those PROD
ucts. which. by the labor of man, the
arabic soil may be compelled to yleld.

accomplish this feat being common
