A few words as to clothing Cloth of
| any kind or description Is not to be
thought of in the island Of Cuba. Light
linen or cotton. both in color and

worn; thin undershirts and drawers,

and shoes. The fall of dew and the
dampness are so great that the men

although recommended by the English
authorities as the proper clothing in
the tropics, is certainly not so desira bic
in Cuba from the fact that it retairs
the dampness much longer than either

felt hat. the soldiers straw, or what are
called Panamas. with broad brins

in Cuba I found 1t necessary to battle
after prolongued exposure to the sun.
Now as to food. The native popula-
ton live principally on animal food and
consume large quantities of fat. Plan
ta1ns, bananas, sweet potatoes, corn
beans and rice form the principal arti-
cles Of vegetable diet. There is little
beef used by the people of the country,
but large quantities of pork are con-
sumed but the pork in Cuba Cf there
be any left Is quite different from that
obtained in this country, and I consider
it decidedly more wholesome and pala-
table. I should unhesitatingly recon-
mend that mixed diet, with an excess
of nitrogenous food. be used by re-
Gently arrived troops on the island,
rather than an excess of vegetables.
Alcohol should be prohibited until the
nien begin to feel the enervating effects
Of the climate, which would hardly be
for several weeks.
The custom throughout the islands
is to have breakfast about 10 or IL
o'clock, and dinner about 4, or In
the afternoon; only two meals day
But this I consider a bad habit The
intervals between the meals are too
long and each meal too heavy The
American habit of three meals day
at regular intervals is decidedly to e
preferred.

generous quantity of coffee, { nd no al

island is tetanus, so that all punctured
wounds OF the foot and hand should be
more safely treated as open wounds
after thorough antiseptic applications,
no matter how small and trivial they
might appear. Jiggers (chigoes9 would
be apt to affect some of the men and
cause lameness unless promptly recog-
nized and treated Aa1ittle coal Oil IS
the most effective remedy.
Mosquitoes are abundant during the
summer season, and every man should
be provided with small piece of net
ting. .There are no Venomous snakes
throughout the whole island CT Cuba,
and the tarantulas are not poisonous,
as are those found in New Mexico. The
bite of the scorpion, also IS not more
dangerous than that Of the bee To
this 1 can testify from personal expe-
rlence. n i
One plant is common throughout the
island, belonging to the family of rhus
toxlcodendron. It's effect upon sus-
cept1bie persons, in causing an acute
dermatitis, is preciselg!lke that caused

ers and lightnings and pours, not rains,
every day in the week, scattering the
fragile petals of the coffee plant, the
rich odor of which penetrates for miles.
Our buttonIbush, partridge berry and,
stranger still, our dainty hustonia and
ugly galium are poor relations of this
evergreen shrub. 1t grows to a height
of eighteen or twenty feet. The flowers
grow in dense clusters in the axis Of
the leaves, and the fruit resembles a
small cherry, which, as it ripens, as
Sumes a dark-red color. About LOCO
years ago the Abyssinians used coffee
as beverage, and it was used by the
MOhammedans in their wearisome de-
votional exercises as a specific against
sleep, which use the priests of one class
opposed as iTTreligious, as 1t was regard
ed by them as an intoXicant, and,
therefore. prohibited by the Koran; but,
Notwithstanding the fact that divine
retribution was held over those who
used it, it continued to grow in favor.
Mocha is still obtained from the same
part of South Arabia in which 1t was
then cultivated. In the sixteenth century
coffee houses were established in Con-
stantinople. and, as they became rivals
of the mosques, the religious orders
again opposed the beverage. The sui
tan taxed, and the priests reyiled, but
still the coffee houses held their own
and continued to grow in favor. The
first coffee house in London was opened
by Greek in 1852. AS the followers
of Mohammed had cried out against its

men smoke everywhere. 1t is estimat-
ed that the people of Havana them
selves consume S., 900 worth of to-
bacco. One Of the curiosities Of the
city is La Honradey, the imperial fac
tory, and it occupies the entire square.
The cocoanut tree grows to a height
of fifty feet or more, and, unlike the
royal palm, has a dropping aspect.
In the spreading plume-like leaves
grow heavy punches Of nuts.
Some one has said that one eats In
Cuba eggs, custard and butter off the
trees" and in all the world there is no
more favored spot than this for the
cultivation Of fruits. The mango with
it's shiny leaves and long, pendant
branches, upon which ulster the yellow
plumlike fruit, looking like musk
melons hanging in elm trees;" the sapo-
tilla, with its bloom like our own ap-
pie; the guava, the pomegranate, these
are a few Of the trees which, all un-
cared for, produce food for the natives.
There are TO poisonous plants in the
island, it is said. The mahogany Of
Cuba, of which there are said to be
impepetrable, forests, bears leaves
something like those of the ash, and
produces .peduncles of white flowers.

limestone is the principal formation
the well waters are heavily charg d
with lime salts. AS there must be thou
sands of unused wells since the devas-

such sources exceedingly dangerous to

few of the interior cities; but it is cpl
demic in Matanzas, Sa qua, Havana,
Cardenas and Santiago.

low lands of Cuba, but one rarely ffnes

From my personal knowledge I
should say that the hilly country
around Matanzas and Havana is de-

ier in every respect than throughout
the middle and northen portions of
Florida.
