Cuba Short on Sugar.

Joaquin Guma, authority on Cuban
sugar statistics. gives receipts of raw
sugar at all ports from the 1st to the
31st of January, 1896, rs $500 tons
of 2,240 pounds. For the correspond
ing month of January, 1895, receipts
We're 1851 tons, falling off of 81
per cent. in the January crop of this
as compared with last year. The four
months of January. February, March
and April are those of maximum pro
duction of sugar in Cuba. about 90 per
cent of the crop being manufactured
in this period. OF the 361 really i'm
pOrtant central factories OF Cuba.
only about thirty two are working. and
these under heavy disadvantages which
do not admit of much more than half
of normal productive capacity. Willett
& Gray, New York, publish an estimate
of this years probable total sugar crop
for the island, based on private adj
vices, and set the figure ut 100000 tons.
The normal annual output of the ISL
and is 100000 tons, roughly speaking.

Learning that Mr. y. w Jones. re-
spected citizen of Willow Springs. H..
had been restored TO health after months
of suffering with that dreaded disease.
rheumatism. 4 reporter of the News was
detailed TO investigate. and in reply TO an
inquiry concerning his illness and cure
Mr.. Jones cheerfully made the following
statement:
About three years ago. while running
a steam pump for a railway company. |

matism and became 50 badly afflicted that

Il continued in this manner all winter

vigor
SHARP pains would start in one limb
and run MI over my body like flash
of lightning. When | tried to move the
pains would seize me and | could not move
hand or foot. and suffered all the tortureS
of the damned.
Il tried the magneto-electric treatment
for several months. using the battery
number of times each day. This treat
ment. however. had but little effect on my
malady; my general health began to fan
and was told that the only hopes of pro-
longed life was to seek Il different climate.
and unless this was done | could not live
another year.
About this time | was induced TO try

a WONDERFUL GARDEN, THIS.
AT Least the Story About 1t Is Won
derfui Enough.


Most people have heard of the hang
ing gardens of Babylon. the modern
roof gardens and the gardens or float
ing islands in which vegetables used to
be grown for the citizens or ancient
Mexico, but proba oily few haze heard
of a garden on board Il ship, with farm
yard attachment. The splendid ship
Mowhan. now in port, and the largest
vessel which has ever been here, had
such an arrangement on board during
her trip TO Oregon. On leaving Belfast
for Portland she took on board as bal
last 1000 tons of Irish soil which, when
leveled off, made quite stretch Of
ground, and, as the soil of Ireland is
proverbially fertile. the ships company
proceeded to put it 10 good use by plant
ing stock of garden truck in it-cab-
bage, leeks, turnips. radishes. lettuce.
peas. beans. etc. The seeds came up all
right and the plants flourished finely.
and when the ship was in the tropics
grew with great rapidity. AS they pro-
crossed toward the Horn and tho
weather grew colder. things came to
perfection rapidly. The crew and ship
apprentices amused themselves by
wedding and cultivating the plants. and
the captain and officers took regular
walks in the garden daily, and all had
green vegetables TO their hearts con-
tent.
AS they came around the Horn the
garden was replanted. and by the time
they reached the equator everything
was ahlcom. ana all hands Toasted on
fresh vegetables daily. The only draw
backs to the garden were the weeds
which grew SO rapidly that they could
hardly be kept down and the droves
of pigs that were kept in the farmyard
attachment. and which. on several oc-
casions. when the ship was buckling
into Il nor'eaSter and rolling heavily.
broke out of the bounds and made scri-
Gus threads on the garden. 1t is Il Seri-
Gus matter TO call all hands OH board
ship. and is only done III emergencies,
but when the pigs got into the garden
there was more pounding on forecastlc
scuttles and handspikes and blowing
of boatswains whistles than if the ship
had been laid aback by Il typhoon or
oil the masts had been carried away,
and every sleeper was aroused to help
get the pigs out of the garden.
The last pig was killed and served up
with green vegetables Just before the
Mowhan entered the Columbia. On the
arrival Of the Mowhan here the Irish
soil was discharged on the elevator com
panys dock and piled up neatly, so that
any eXiled patriot who desires Il bit of
the ''Ould sod can be accommodated.
The pile will doubtless be covered with
shamrocks in the spring and will fur
nish boutonniercs for a whole st. Pat
ricks Day procession. Doubtless
many sack of it Will be carried off
to fill flower pots, etc. Although il
comes from the ''black north" it is still
the real ''Ould sod.'-Portland Ore

Carry Tons of Baggage.

The amount of excess baggage car
ried by some of the commercial men
visiting New York would certainly as
tonish many who are not familiar with
the customs of the representatives OF
the larger wholesale houses. The rail
road company allows 40 pounds bag
gage to each ticket issued, and makes
a charge for every pound over that
amount. Recently one Hartford man
was charged with carrying l so pounds
or over LOO pounds above the limit.
The men having charge of the baggage
department at a local depot encounter
a man OCCASIONALLY who carries 100
pounds or one and one tenth tons

Cleveland Is Aging Rapidiy.

Says w. r. Bell, in Scranton Tribune:
There is every reason to believe that
President Cleveland will decline To be
n candidate again. He has had enough
He wants TO retire and enjoy the com
forts of private life. Mr.. Cleveland is
beginning to show signs Of breaking
down. He has aged very much in the
last three years. At the time of his
second Inauguration he was the picture
of good health, with only Il few white
hairs in either his head or mustache.
He is now stopped and his mustache is
snowy white and the little hair left OH
his head is quite gray.
