Cuban History in Brief.
Spain colonized the island in 1921.


Spain colonized the island in 1921.
In 1884 and again in 1854 HAVANA
was destroyed by the French.
Matanzas was the first city to fall
into the hands of the insurgents.
Cruelty and Injustice to the ma
tives has always been the creed OF
the Spaniards.
The present revolution began Feb
ruary "a, 1895, when the republic
was proclaimed by Martin.
In 1913 President Polk offered
Spain a million dollars for the is
land, which offer was refused.
The constitution of Cuba, model
cd on that of the United States, was
adopted September %, 1895.
The revolution of 1868 lasted ten
years before Spain succeeded in
compromising by promising reforms.
A triangular blue union, having a
single star and five stripes, three OF
red and two of white, is the flag OF
the republic.
Very little reliable news of the
present instruction can be obtain
ed, owing to the censorship OF the
press and the meudacity of the lead
ers of both sides.
The first serious revolution took
place in lS48, under the leadership
of Narciso Lopez, who in 1852 re-
peated his attempts to free the is.
land from Spanish control.

The first historical men ton OF
rings is in the book of Genesis, and
then a ring was not mark OF serf-
dom. nor mere ornament but a
badge OF authority. We read how,
when Pharoah confded the charge
of all Egypt to Joseph, he took his
ring from his finger and gave it to
the youth as token of the author
ity he bestowed upon him.
From prehistoric times signct
rings of silver, gold and bronze were
part of the apparel of the weather.
Egyptian, and even the lower orders
wore rings of ivory and porcelain.
Rings are not mentioned in Homer,
and do not appear TO have been in
troduced into Greece until a later
age. Herodotus tells US all IT.
Babylonians used to wear rings and
the fashion soon spread from the
East into Europe. In tie time OIL
Scion, every freeman If. Greece wore
signet ring, either of gold, silver,
or bronze. To prevent counterits,
a law was passed. forbidding any seal
engraver to keep the impression Of
any seal ring that he had cut for a
customer.
Rings soon became fashionable,
however, as ornaments, precious
stones were engraved in them, and
dandies wore two or three at the
same time. Their use gradually ex-
tended to women, who wore them
of amber and ivory. The Spartan
rings were of iron, as consorted with
the stern simplicity they affected.
The use of talismanic rings ap-
pears 10 have been general among
the ancients as charms against dis
ease, personal danger, witchcraft,
etc. Medicated rings were also be-
lieved to cure divers complaints, and
to counterfeit the effects of poison,
etc.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
invented great many valuable
things. They were the first to make
brooms by machinery; the first to
put up seeds in little packages; the
first to manufacture cut nails.
Now they are out with a method
of curing dyspepsia by resting the
stomach. Their remedy is known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t
supplies food in an artificially digest
ed form and at the same time aids
the digestion of other foods in the
stomach. In other words, by the
use of the Shaker Digestive Cordial,
dyspeptic virtually gets along
without the use of his stomach until
it is restored TO its natural strength
and Yigor. A single 10 cent bottle
will ofttimes give marked relief.
Get bottle from your druggist and

The sick man knocking at the
door of health gets in if he knocks
the right way and, stays out if he
doesn't. There are thousands of
ways of getting sick but only one
way to get well. Do whatever you
will, if you do not put your di-
gestion in good order, and make
your blood rich and pure, you will
not get well. Rich, pure blood is
the only thing that can bring perfect
health. Constipation is a disease of
the blood. A large part of all di-
seases are traceable directly to i'm
purites in the blood, and can be
cured by eliminating them with DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
The first thing it does is to put the
whole digestive system into perfect
order. 1t stimulates the appetite,
excites copious secretion of the d.
gestive fluids and promotes assimi-
lation. 1t searches out disease germs
wherever they may be, kills them
and forces them out of the system.

cess for over 80 years.

Please explain why a horse hair
will turn into snake when put in
water, and oblige E. L. S.
The idea that horse hair when
placed in stagnant water will be
metamorphosed into serpent of the
same length and thickness is as old
as the time Of Pliny, and probably
much older, for he mentions it as
a common belief among the italian
peasantry. It was doubtless origi-
mated by the presence, in the stag
nant ponds of South Europe, of an
aquatic animal, often 10 to II inches
long, bearing a striking resemblance
to horse hair. OF course, horse
hairs are not more likely to turn in
to snakes than into horses, but no.
tion of this kind, once fixed in the
mind of ignorance and superstition,
is almost impossible to eradicate.
