MATANZAS.
One OF the Delightful Places OF Resi-
dence In Cuba.

From the Fortnightly Review
Matanzas, although far smaller than
the capital. is decidedly better built,
the streets being much more regular;
Santiago de Cuba, the old capital, is
situated on one of the most lovely
bays in the world, but it is nothing like
as clean and prosperous looking as
Havana. although ii has much hand
somer public gardens. Puerto Principe
has the advantage of charming nat
ural position at the mead of a lovely
bay, and its Alameda, or public prom
enade, is marVelUusly beautiful, with
it's stately rows # peacock aCacias,
orange trees and cocoa palms. Matan-
zas is after Havana, by far the most
agreeable place Of residence in the
island. and IS situated in a delightfully."-
fertile district Independently of its
famous crystal caves, which are of
great extent, and formed of the purest
and Clearest Of rock crystal MatanZas,
close to the valley Of the Yumuri has
the good fortune to be the most Eden
like spot in the West Indies. 1t is i'm
possible to describe the charm of this
happy valley" so rich in its Vegeta-

by the River Yumuri and tributary
streams, so delicious, even on the hot

every sort of gorgeous creeper, the
blue cOnvolvulus major and the trum-
pet vine being the most prevalent.

Washington has also taken it into its

MORE TROUBLE FOR LETTER.
The Price of Cash Wheat Has De-
cIiued 10 Cents.

Chicago. June 2O-More threatening
clouds are gathering for Letter. Since
the announcement of Letters with
drawal from the DEAL the price of
cash wheat has declined 10c. That
means an additional loss of $1.000,000
within a week, which the elder Letter
apparently will have to pay.
Another source Of evil in the Letter
prospects is the persistent rumors from
across the water that foreigners are
refusing the wheat Letter sold. Nari-
Gus reasons are assigned for the re-
lection, but in each case there appears
the possibility that Letter will find his
wheat coming back to him in great
quantities.

Christmas Table
Decorations.

!" HE color scheme for the Christ
 mas decorations should be a sim
 pie one. Red is the most effective
 A and appropriate shade. It throws a rich glow over all, so whether the night be clear and chill or dismal and damp, the room has a warm. inviting look.
 Shun hothouse plants for the Christ mas dinner table. The florist will offer you hothouse roses and carnations. But turn a deaf ear to his arguments and shut your eyes to the gorgeous beauty of his offerings. Select instead the wild mistletoe, the holly, the cedar with its berries, the hardy winter Christmas ferns, the trailing pine and the dainty manZanita.
 These can be gathered in armfuls across the bay if the usual depleted holiday purse makes the florists impos- sible. The garlands and wreaths will look more beautiful and smell sweeter if you have picked them yourself.
 Be careful not to overcrowd the table with decorations Do not raise mound Tn the center. which stands as immova- ble as the pyramids of old, an everlast- ing discomfort to those seated around the table It cuts off the view of ne happy faces and makes peek-boo a ne- cessity If one would look at his visa wis.
 Use the trailing ferns, that cool and green in their graceful, slender length make of the table deAcate lattice work. Do not spoil the effect by table cloth. Under each plate place a pretty dolly.
