FOOTWEAR MEYERS.

Never wear a shoe that will not al
low the great toe to lie in a straight
line.
Never wear a shoe with a sole mar
rover than the outline of the foot
traced with a pencil close under the
rounding edge.
Never wear shoe that pinches the
heel.
Never wear a shoe or boot so large
in the heel that the foot is not kept
in place.
Never wear a shoe or boot tight any
where.
Never wear a shoe or boot that has
depressions in any part of the sole to
drop any joint or bearing below the
level plane.
Never wear shoe with sole turn
causes the cords on the upper part of
the foot to contract.
Never wear a shoe that presses up
into the hollow of the foot
Never come from hlgn heels to low
heels at one jump.
Never wear leather sole Innings to
stand upon; white cotton drilling OF
linen is much better and more health
full.
Never wear a short stocking, or one
which after being washed is not at
least one-half inch longer than the
foot. Bear in mind that stockings
shrink. Be sure that they will allow
your toes to spread out at the eX-
treme ends, as this keeps the joints ir
place and makes a strong and at
tractive foot. AS to shape of stock,
ings the single digital or "one- toe
stocking" is the best.

Cuba is prodigally rich in every
thing. She Is rich in flowers, in fruits,
in birds, in woods. She is rich in mines.
She is rich in agriculture, and in her
riches lie in her power of recuperation,
her power to wage war against her un-
natural mother, even though she is
made barren wilderness. It is this
natural richness that will enable her to
recover quickly and become a power
when once she succeeds in shaking off
the shackles with which Spain has

full of hatred and low passion, who
contribute to the public charges and
never receive a cent in exchange; who
have given as much as $92 per capita,
and who at the present moment pay to
the state what no other taxpayers the
world over have ever contributed. Does
any one say we are not prodigously, en-
viably rich?'
This bit of irony from the pen of a
Cuban, while intending to show the pow
erty that Spain has forced on Cuba,
gives deal of truth that goes to show
the wonderful resources of the island
and it's people They have been mulct
ed, as the writer says, and in spite of 1t
they are still able to carry on a war
like the present one, that in its infancy
has cost Spain more than So to every
acre on the island. 1t can be valued in
acres if the present destruction keeps
up, for there may be nothing left but
| the land to fight for.
A Sun reporter talked a day or so ago
with celebrated man, resident of
| this city, who has large interests in
| Cuba and has travelled in all parts of
the island, who knows it's people and
| knows more about the possibility of
their development under a proper gov
eminent than does any other man in
| this city.

MANGANESE ORE.

"In the province of Santiago there
are great deposits of manganese ore.
The little investigation that has been
made warrants the belief that there are
millions of tons of it, and the ore is
rich and of superior quality. There
are great quantities of salt, too, but
that is government monopoly. OF
agriculture as | said, the soil will pro-
duce almost anything that is planted
except wheat. Wheat has not been
successfully grown so far. Sugar cane
and tobacco are the two great staples
that grow there as they grow nowhere
else on earth. You can plant sugar
cane there and cut it for thirty or forty
or fifty successive seasons without re-
planting, and | have never heard of that
anywhere else in the world. | have
sugar growing there, and the oldest
inhabitants in the neighborhood of the
plantation cannot remember by whom
it was planted. | have myself cut
crops from it more than thirty years.
1t costs about $50 an acre in Cuba to
plant sugar. That is, the first years
expense from the time of planting to
the time of cutting is $50 and the aver
age yield will be almost $40 an acre.
There are fields that will yield two and
three times that much. That is the
average for the whole island. And af-
ter the first year the cost is but $40 an
acre, and it may be a shade under that.
In Louisiana and in other sugar grow
ing regions no crop is looked for the
first year. In Cuba you plant and cut
in one year. The soil everywhere is pc
culiarly adapted to sugar. 1t is also
peculiarly adapted to tobacco. So with
coffee. / have drunk coffee in Cuba
equal to the finest in the world
There is no gainsaying the richness
and fertility of the soil of the wonderful
island, Everywhere, from end to end
and from side to side, it is rich in every
| thing. Talk about the cattle of thou
| sand hills, there are a thousand cattle
| to hill in Cuba. These are the ideal
| pasture lands of the world. We in the

| Why, the climate is ideal. In the hot
| test summer the temperature is never
so high as it is in New York and there
| is no severe winter. There are two sea
| sons, the rainy and the dry. There art
| no extremes in temperature at all. As
for the healthfulness of the island

all. You seldom hear of yellow fever

ince forbidding, on pain of death, the
gathering, carrying away or selling of
any tobacco grown in the province.
The idea is to deprive Spain of the
duty she levies on tobacco and so Grip
pie her resources. Similar orders are
issued in regard to sugar. and they are
enforced, too. In the east the sugar
mills have nearly all been destroyed
by the rebels, and the rest will soon

WEYLER'S METHOD OF RETALIA-
TION.

There are no pacificos in Cuba. Out
side the cities all Cubans are rebel
sympathizers. 1t is not possible to run
down the rebels in that broken sort of
country, While there are numberless
spies to carry information of every
movement of the troops, and hundreds
of houses in which they can sleep in
safety by night sheltered from the cold.
Therefore Weyler ordered the alleged
pacillcos to come into the towns to live,
burned their houses and destroyed their
growing crops. This largely increased
the rebel army, of course, but it's only
real effect was to change secret enc
mics into open enemies, and to destroy
their supplies and shelter. This is what
war Is.
The outrages are not all due to Span
ish troops, however. Much of the pill
Laying and burning is done by the reb-
