CU4A'S IMMENSE TRADE.
The Total of Its Exports Reaches an Ex-
traOrdinary Figure.

The trade of Cuba is simply astounding
when compared with that of other nations
and is only to be explained on the ground
that everything raised on the island is for
export, and all are articles of the first COM
mercial Importance. Tho exports of Great
Britain per capita are $32. 20, of France
$1S.64, of Germany $3.50; of the United
States $l3. 92 of Spain $40. 81 and of Cuba
$50! OF course it is ridiculous to say that
Cuba is proportionately richer than the
countries named even admitting the high
character of all her products, but rather it
shows how Spanish exactions rake the is
land over and gather up every item Of
value in order to raise revenue out of all
proportion to the number Of people subject
thereto.
The area of Cuba is 49, 900 square miles,
with a population of 1851, 6S7. OF this
population about IS per cent is white
and the balance colored and Chinese. Tho
annual taxes raised from these people is
about 500, 900, 000 of which over S6, 0O0,
600 goes to support the 20, 900 Spanish sol
diers who are kept upon the island in Or
der to keep it in subsection. Besides all
this Spain has saddled upon tho island a
public debt of $135, 900, 600. The annual
llCOllG VI lllC 10 PiuSSu at
about $50, 600, 900. The yearly production
of tobacco is placed at 800, 900 bales The
exports of Cuba are: To Spain, 81, 361, 331
to France, $69s, 216; to England, $3.50, 705;
to the United States, $57, 024, 513, and to
other countries small amounts, running
the total exports up to $o4, 72l, 1856.
From this it will be seen that the Unit
ed States furnishes almost the exclusive
market for Cuban products, yet the table
of imports into Cuba show what small
hold we have upon Cuba in return. Out
of total importation into Cuba Of $35,
303, 055, the United States gets only
SO, $50, $685. while Spain sells her goods to
the amount of 81, $685. SOC, and England,
which only buys $3.50, 705 from Cuba, sells
her IS, 410, 800. In one year the United
States bought from Cuba 1900, 000, 00G
pounds of sugar, valuo $40, 040, 1893; over
$1,000, 900 gallons of molasses, value
81, 100, 624, and over &c. 900, 900 pounds OF
tobacco. value $40, 4Si, 604. The character
of the imports into Cuba from the United
States were meat and dairy products, iron
and steel manufactures, broadstuffs, coal
and wood and its manufactures. Atlanta

WOMAN AS TEMPER.
The Talmudic Legend of the Fall OF Man
and Its Results.

In tho old Talmudic legend of the gar
den of Eden it was not satan who tempted
Eve in tho gaise of serpent. 1t was the
sorcercss Lilith, Adams first wife, who
took this method of avenging herself upon
her successful rival, at the same time pro-
viding endless torment for Adam, by show
ing his new wife how to acquire knowl-
edge For she was perfectly well aware
that woman's first as self con-
scious, thinking being would be to desire
a new dress. To be sure, this new dress
was only simple arrangement of fig
leaves, quito inexpensive and really be-
coming to Ewes peculiar style, but it con-
tanned in the germ all the subsequent
atrocities with which women's attire has
SO often cursed the earth down to the
combination of yards Of sleeves and acres
of crinoline.
So, according to the Talmud, from the
earliest days woman has been wom-
ans betrayer and in our modern times
the subtle art begun by the fair and I'M
scrupulous Lilith is being practiced on an
ever increasing scale.
One aspect of this has been set forth In
a clever article in The Fortnightly Re
view by Lady Joune on the important
subject of shopping, in which she main
tains that one reason why women spend
more money nowadays than before is be
cause statesmen have largely been suppressed
ed by saleswomen. Women are much
quicker than men, and they understand
SO much more readily what other women
want. They can enter into the little trou,
bles of their customers; they can fathon
the agony of despair as to the arrangement
of colors, the alternative trimmings, the
duration of fashion, the depths of a
woman's purse, and, more important than
all, the question as to the becomingness OF
a dress. No man can understand all these
littlo refnemonts. His nature is too gross,
too material"
In the Heavenly Twins it is said that
man was tempted by woman, but it took
the devil himself to tempt woman. How
much deeper is the insight of the Talmud!
For it is evident that when any tempting
is to be done, whether Of man or woman,
tho eternal feminine" leads tho field
