rhs Tetsl of Its Exports Reaches IN Ex.
sraordinary Figure.


Tho trade OF Cuba Is simply astounding
when compared with that Of other nations
and IL only TO be explained on tho ground
that everything raised on the island is for
export, and all are articles Of tho first COM
mcroial Importance. The exports OF Great
Britain per capita are $Ss. 20, Of France
$3.50 OF Germany $40. 80; OF the United
States $l3 92, OF Spain $40. 81 and OF Cuba
$5O OF course IL is ridiculous to say that
Cuba Is proportionately richer than tho
countries named, evon admitting tho 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 a revenue out or all
proportion to the number Of people subject
thereto.
The area Of Cuba Is 45, 900 square miles,
with population OF 1881, 6S7. or this
population about 65 per cent Is white
and the balance oolored and Chinese. The
annual taxes raised from these people Is
about $26, 600, O0O Of which over ~, 0O0,-
900 goes to support the 30, 600 Spanish SOL
diers who are kept upon the island In or
der to keep IL In subjection Besides all
this Spain has saddled upon tho island a
public debt OF s135, 600, 900. The annual
income of the inhabitants Is placed at
about $50, 600, 600. The yearly production
of tobacco is placed at 800, 900 bales. The
exports of Cuba are: To Spain, $4, 36l, 8Sl;
to France. $69s, 2l6; to England, $3.50, 7o5;
to the United States. S57, 024, 6l3, and to
other countries small amounts, running
the total exports up to S64, 72l, 1886.
From this IL will be seen that the Unit
ed States furnishes almost the exclusive
market for Cuban products, yet tho table
of imports into Cuba show what small
hold we have upon Cuba in return. Out
of total importation into Cuba of $780,
303 O55, the United States gets only
50, $50, $685. while Spain sells her goods to
the amount Of sl1, Cos, SOC, and England,
which only buys $3.50, 705 from Cuba, sells
her $S, 4l0, 500. In one year the United
States bought from Cuba l,50e, 900, 600
pounds of sugar, value $45, 040, 333; over
16, 900, 900 gallons Of molassos, value
81, 700, 624, and over 16, 000 600 pounds OF
tobacco, value $40, 4S4, 604. The character
of the imports into Cuba from tho United
States were meat and dairy products, iron
and steel manufactures, breadstuffs, coal
and wood and Its manufactures Atlanta

Why Not

Give the thin baby SCOTS

If all the babies that have

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Mrs. Burton Kingsland, In Ladies' Home
journal.
For a young lady, the choice OF
gifts is practically unlimited. Her
dressing table accessories offer q
large field for selection II articles of
Dresden china, silver, ivory and tor
toise she'll. A bureau cover and pin
cushion embroidered in rosebuds and
blue ribbons, will please the fancy
OF most girls, and an acceptable gift
would be a bed comfort of sheerest
nainsook with large monogram en-
broidered in its center; finished with
a hemstitched lounce at each side
and laid over a color, it is dainty
and durable. Hatpins, fans, an
opera glass, or bag to hold 1t made
OF brocade with a touch of fur, silver
trifles for her desk, an engagement
pad, silver-mounted or of leather,
vases for flowers, some new book
mark, a photogravure, a clasp pin to
hold a bunch of violets in her gown
almost anything will bring pleasure
to the young, fresh heart, If unspoil-
ed by luxury.
In the matter Of gifts from q
young man friend, an unwritten law
Of conventionality limits his choice
to either books, flowers or bonbons,
The warmth of his feelings may OK
press itself in as costly q manner al
desired, but 1t is an evidence Of
common sense, II, d~iscarding the
usual set basket of flowers, he sent
few cpt blossoms In q dainty vase
which will have an enduring associ'
alton with the giver.
An aengaged girl" dreaming o
thst stray bit Of paradise, her fu'
ture home nest, will be made happ.
b. any triie that later may FIND
place within 1t. Her pleasure in
piecs OF bric-a-brac or silver will
anticlpate the joys of wedding gifts.

psinful lack Of confidence In herself.
When John retired TO his room
that night and laid awake thinking
the days doings and sayings over, he
came to the conclusion that the little
circle at "The Elmsn was no happier
than whom he left. The place was
stall vacant that he had 80 longed and
prayed to have Glled, the place where
love should have sat and held sway.
"Oh, II my dear mother had known
all these years what was missing,
and could only have found IL and
enthroned IL, how differens her life
and home," he thought, sadly signing
that now IL was too late.

(To be c~ontinued.)
an OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS.

John P, st. John, Ex-Governor Of Kansas,
My flrst distinct recollection Of
Christmas takes me back to what
was known as st. Johns Island, on
White river, in Indiana. The trees
were loaded down with snow, and
the ground was covered an inch thick
with Gods mantle of purity. A dog
wood pole reached from jam to jam
of an old fashioned fireplace that
filed n end of our log cabin. From
this pole was suspended, by iron
hooks, the big pot in which each day
the family dinner was cooked. I had
never seen q cooking stove then.
The Christmas buckeye back log had
boon rolled into this huge fireplace
shet Christmas morning, and the
~ htly, s~oytningsto ~ 4 merry
A(cIh istmss 10 alir' In front Of this
fire, by a string attached to a joist
overhead, was suspended, within
roasting distance, the Christmas tur-
key. 1, then only a little bigger than
the turkey, begged the privilege,
which was granted me, Of dipping
with a long handled spoon the gravy
from the dripping pan, and pouring
IL over the roast. At moor all gath
cred in the kitchen around the
Christmas dinner table. My dear
mother was at one end of the table,
and my generous, warm hearted
father at the other. The turkey was
cut up and handed round, then
there were boiled jowl and cabbage,
sweet potatoes, turnips, and lots Of
pumpkin "sass," mince pies, peach
preserves, and oceans of sweet cake;
while from overhead, the rings Of
dried pumpkin, the festoons Of dried
apples, peaches, and pepper pods,
intermingled with sausages, corn in
the husks, and fine popcorn, seemed
to join in the festivities. When din
ner was over the company passed
through the covered entry in which
stood the family loom and the soap
and meal barrels, into the hewed log
house where the neighborhood I'D
der, with crossed legs and head
thrown back, marked time with a
number twelve shoe, while he played
. popular air known as. "Dan Tuck
en-" and the guests danced a Vir-
gina reel.
The day was a joyous one. Many
OF the dear ones have passed on. W.
don't forget them; we love them al
In the old days, but others have
twined themselves about our hearts
tMay God grant that every child Al
the coming anniversary Of the birth
of the hope of the world may enjoy
the day as we'll as l did fifty year.

had seen it they msds known abroad the
| child" Whatever may have been their
faith In the angels message, they were
! right in verifying IL by the test that had
been given, and know for themselves that
II must be so. Aud they furnish US a
good example when, after seeing for
themseives, they spread abroad the new
Of the wonderful child. The FIRST impulse
Of a p%ardoned soul that has found Jesus
10 to tell IL to others. This ia the process
OF propagation OF the gospel, each loving
soul becomes the witness and messenger
Of the Lord.
Note the effect upon all these parties Of
those wonderful tidings. The shepherds
"made known abroad" the fact; and all
they to whom they communicated the
news, "wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds;' "bu,
Mary kept all these things, and pondered
them in her heart"
As Abbott says: ''rhey illustrate diff
ierent but not inconsistent phases o.
experience. Pondering and publishing
are both Christian duties" Finally W,
are told "The shepherds reformed, glori
flying and praising God for all the thing
they had heard and seen, as it was tolC
unto Them" They we're still humbl,
! shepherds and pursued their daily avoca
tions, but with what new inspirations
! Life was never the same drudgery OF du
: ties any more. So ever with the Chris
tlan. Who takes Christ in his life, n
matter how lowly his avocation, hence
forth leads a new life, clarifying an,
praising God, counting it a high homo
put upon him, that he can love and serv
the Master, and cooperate in Forwarding
His kingdom in the earth.

UNDER THE ORGANS SPELL.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Church music has a strange effect
upon the sensibilities Of Miss Bessie
Ayres, of Evanston. During the
service at the First Congregational
church IN that suburb Miss Ayres
was completely .hypnotized by the
strains of the organ, and she finally
went into q hypnotic trance, from
which she was resuscitated with the
greatest difficulty. The usual notices
had been given out, and then DR..
Loba made the usual matter of fact
announcement: t'The morning COL
lection will now be taken" Scott
Wheeler, who was presiding at the
organ, at once started into a particu-
larly powerful selection from one OF
Dudley Bucks compositions.
AS soon as the strains of the organ
were heard, those sitting near Miss
Ayres noticed that she half rose in
her seat as II to change her position.
Then she seemed to think better of
it and sat down again. In a moment
those in the n pew noticed that
her fingers we're twitching nervously
and that her face had become 80 red
as to be near'y purple. 1t was evil
dent that something was wrong.
a kindly disposed lady sitting In
the pew behind asked Miss Ayres II
she could give her any assistance.
She turned to reply to the we'll
meant inquiry, but no words came
from her lips. She seemed to be
making a desperate struggle with
some emotion and her whole body
was now twitching as If she we're the
victim of st. Vitus' dance.
Suddenly the blood left Mist
Ayre's face as it had come, and left
her as pale as death itself. She
made an attempt to rise, wavered
tried to catch herself on the pew il
front, and fell headlong into the
aisle with a jar which startled every
one on that side of the church.
She was carried out of the audi
ence room to the open air, where, i
was thought, she would at once re
cover, but she was still as insensibl,
az when first picked up. After i,
few moments of vigorous work sh,
slowly began to revive, much to tn,
relief Of her nurses. The usual CUES
ton OF "Where ara II" was asked
by Miss Ayres as soon as she recov,
cred consciousness sufficiently to be
come aware of what was going oil
about her.
81 have not the FIRST memory
she went on, "of anything that hap
pened after | heard the first strain
of the voluntary"
DIR. Loba, the pastor OF the church
when questioned about the occur
renee, said.
"Miss Ayres has for a long tim
been suffering with brain trouble
but that does not affect her unles
she hears the strains OF q churc
organ. For a long time she stay Q
away from church on this accoun,
for her spell to-day was but a repeti
ton of former experiences. Their
appears to be something uncon
genial, or else too congenial, be
tween her peculiar nervous temper
ament and the sound Of an organ
and she can never hear that class
music without feeling the effects Z

state fair number of persons have
asked United States marshals to prose
cute two men, who operated OH the fair

ing it was ruse. each bought bottle
and paid 40 cents for IA half pint Later
they found that the men had told the
truth, and they really had purchased
rain water, containing some slight col
oring matter. The officers found the
two men who had engaged IN the traffic
and they said they sold fully barrel of
excellent rain water at 40 cents a half
pint, and never represented it to be any;
thing else. They have not been prose-
cuted and probably will not be molested.

VILLAGES IN DANGER.
Immense Forest and Marsh Fires Rag

Immense Forest and Marsh Fires Rag
ing in the Vicinity of Green Bay.
GREEN BAY, Wis, Oct. 2l.-Extensive
marsh and forest fires are raging north
and west of Green Bay, and the west
shore of Green bay is lined with fire.
At noon the flames six miles north
swept across the vast marshes between
the city and Longtail point and burned
the buildings of the Pulp Wood Supply
company. To the west Of the city a
fire of considerable magnitude is sweep
ing over the Oneida Indian reservation
but as there are few residences in the
path of the flames the loss will be con-
fined to timber and hay. The wind
blew at the rate of 40 miles an hour
during the day and threatened to sweep
into the thickly settled district between
the city and Duck creek. Fire is raging
in the big meadow south and west of
this village. The fire has now gone
into the timber and is burning consid-
cradle wood. Farmers near the marsh
fear that their buildings will he de-
stroyed.
