As mas been said, the forests of the IT,
iund contain great number Of valuable
nara and cabinet woods, among them
tne mahogany and the cedar, of which
there are very large quantities.
There are plantations of the cocoaput
tree, and millions of the nuts are ex.
ported yearly. The cocoa tree also grows
very well, and the bean is Of a very su-
perior quality.
The cedar furnishes the material OF
the cigar boxes. The fruits of the island
comprise nearly all those found in the
tropics. The pineapple is indigenous to
inc SOIL. There were, at the time Of the
discovery OF the island, six varieties of
tne sweet potato cultivated by the ma
tive Indians, as well as the yucca or Ga.
vassa and Indian corn. Although tbe
forests are dense, very nearly impene-
uaple, they are inhabited by no wild
animals larger than the wild dogs, which
are, IN fact, small wolves. These arc
pests to planters, as they destroy ouanti-
Ties OF poultry and young cattle. The
Jutia, small animal resem bling musk.
rat, living in trees and having the habits
OF the raccoon, is the only other animal of
Importance that is found. Birds in great
number and variety here make their
homes, and many migratory fowls use
the island for breeding place.

II you make pilgrimage into the
heart OF the island, the first thing that
strikes you forcibly is the extreme prev.
alence of tho soldiery. The railroad
trains are all guarded, much as thew
were in the western states during the

resident garrison. and in exposed places
little forts made of heavy timber enable

The gateway by which we entered the
enclosure itself prepared us somewhat for
the splendor OF the building within. Like
every part Of the building and its sur
roundings, this gateway is constructed
OF the purest white marble polished to
the highest perfection of which the stone
is capable, while the carving and designs
embossed on the surface are remarkable
Tor the elegance and grace of their con.
ception as well as for the perfection of
their execution. 1t is no easy matter to
accustom the mind to the idea that this

was two hundred and fifty years ago,
can have stood exposed to the weather
all these years. Something, no doubt.

to the exquisite polish of the surface,
which has fitted it to resist the weather
to the best advantage. 1t is, however,
on the interior OF the mausoleum that

industry, has lavished the best of all it

today exactly as it did when first erected.
with the perfect reproduction in polished
stone of every leaf and flower with which
nature has adorned the Indian peninsula.
And not one shade of all the exquisite
color is produced by any pigment. If a
single flower demanded score oftintst to
reproduce its perfect beauty, the effect
was obtained by the use of score of
different stones without regard to their
rarity or value. Nor is the effect injured
by marks of joining. Hardly anything
short of microscope would in most in
stances disclose the fact that art and not
nature had produced the dazzling effect.
But it is hopeless to attempt to give any
adequate idea of this consummate work

tand, unrivaled as the highest example

thu great Mogul and his family spent
part, at least, of the year, as it was the

he was devotedly attached. Here, the
story goes, she had asked him to build
hr the most beautiful palace ever vet
constructed, as memorial Of his affec-

carry out this design, however, the be.

was the erection OF the famous tomb.

The Coming Woman.


Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller, at the
twenty first anniversary of the original
Chautauqua assembly. Aug. 6, 1896,
said:
1.-The coming woman will not be cast
in one mold. The type of the sex will
be the crystal, rejecting light from
many polished sides. In this infinite
variety there are some types that never
can be lost. The woman who is loving
and self sacrificing, the home making
woman, is not going to vanish from the
earth, but she is learning in these days
and will learn still more effectually in
the years to come, that the best thought
for others means also taking thought for
herself; that the best care for others
means also taking care for herself, and
she is taking care of herself in the de-
veloping of her physical well being, in
the filling out of all sides of her nature
and in becoming more clearheaded,
wiser thoughted, better companion and
guide"

rainstorm experienced in this section

The indications are that the storm will

sections of the county are to the effect
that the storm has been general and
heavy all through the county, and that
it has done much good to growing
grain. The grain fields OF the county
were in great need Of rain, which came
none too soon. The present storm will
be worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers of this county. Although the
rain was very heavy, no damage is re-
ported. Snow has fallen quite low

thermometer is in consequence quite
low.
