REMEMBERED THE SAILORS.
Major r. z. Scott on His Death Bed
Sent Tobacco to Manila.
(RichmOnd Dispatch.)

In a few weeks the men on board
the American fleet at Manila will re-
ceive as donation, practically from
the grave, shipment of 100 cases of
fine Virginia tobacco.
The tobacco is gift of Ma jor Fred
r. Scott, the wealthy railroad presi-
dent and banker, who died some time
ago, and now rests beneath the green
sod of Hollywood. Major Scott,
during his last illness. read the war
news closely, and he was, though he
did not at the time know it, on his
heath bed, when the news reached
him that Commodore Dewey's fleet
had destroyed the Spanish ships in
Manila harbor. and so impressed was
he with the splendid work of the
American sailors that he directed
that 100 cases of tobacco be sent to
them from the factory in this city,
in which he owned a large interest.
The Southern Railway Company
and the Big Four agreed to give the
goods free transportation, and they
were shipped few days ago. They
are now on their way to the Philip
pines, and the sailors will, no doubt,
enjoy the treat, but few, if any, of
them will ever know that the heart
which prompted the good deed has
ceased to perform its functions. and
that the man to whom they are in
debted is in his grave.

| And who are these native white
Cubans? They constitute IS per cent.
Of the native population of the island
outside Havana, which is the centre
of the present unwelcome foreign
despotism and not at all representa-
tive of true Cuban life and character.
What are left of the true Cubans are
now mostly found in the provinces
and provincial cities. They are
mostly of Spanish descent but are
said to be quite different from the
native Spaniards of to-day. Thous-
ands Of the better class of Cubans
have settled in the United States, in
Paris, in London, in Mexico, and
other West Indies, and many of them
hold honorable positions in these
countries. The term .'creole," as
3pplied to the Cubans, means simply
white defendants of the Latin races,
but it is often enormously understood
to mean an admixture of negro blood.
There are said to be no more mixing
OF the races in Cuba than in our own
Southern States.
OF the half-million colored people
in Cuba, as given in the census of
1887, many have been destroyed by
starvation during the past two years
of the insurrection, as these consti-
tuted the poorest class of the popula
tion, which has probably suffered
most. Hence the colored population
of Cuba to-day is probably less than
100000 and may not exceed 20 per
cent. of the total population of the
island.
No reliable recent statistics are ac-
cessible concerning the rate of taxa
tion of Cuba, but in 1879 the total
revenue collected by the Spanish
government from the island amounted
to $35, 100000 or $25 per capita. all
of which except $9S, 900, is said to
have been spent mostly in payment
of the Spanish soldiers and Office
holders and in the settlement of Span
ish debt. And practically none of
this terrible annual taxation is spent
in public Improvements for the peo-
pie, or distributed in any way among
the real population of the island.
And in the expenditure of this money
the native Cuban who pays the tax
has practically no voice.
The spirit in which Spain has kept
in subjugation the population of this
wonderfully productive island is well
represented by proclamation by
Valamaseda, a Spanish commander
during the former ten years war,
whose acts during that war may be
compared to those of Weyler during
the present war. Valamaseda wrote:
"Not single Cuban will remain on
this island because we shoot all those
we find in the fields, on the farms,
and in every hovel. So
every one receives what he deserves,
the men with bullets, the animals
with bayonets. The island will re-
main DESERT
Humane America should have stop
ped this butchery long ago. Let us
hope that Spanish rule in this hemis-
phere is nearing its end.
In addition to this appeal in behalf
of humanity, the United States is con-
cerned in another way. In 1928
the value of our trade with Cuba
amounted to $1O3, 900, 900; in 1897 this
had been reduced to 1927 100000.

This age loves the enterprising
man, Energy and enthusiasm earn
praise, because they deserve it. A
boy who was seeking situation was
asked by a merchant in his office,
well, my lad, and what is your
motto?' Same as you have on your
door-Push." replied the boy, who,
it is almost needless to say, was
thereupon engaged. The world gen.
orally gives way before the man who
pushes. But in order to attain the
truest and most abiding success, there
is one thing that should be joined with
push, and that is piety.

POULTRY DOES PAY.
One of the Most Profitable, II Not the
Most Profitable, Branches
of Farming.

Those who say poultry does not pay
do so because in the first place they do
not expend the proportionate time and
brain in caring for their fowls that they
do with their other stock, says the
Western Rural. In the second place,
they do not keep an account, hence the
many little sums are overlooked when
compared with those derived from the
cows, for instance, where many times
the capital is invested. Take care of
your hens for one season, credit them
with all the eggs and chickens used at
home us we'll as those sold, of course
charging the feed and time to them, and
see if they do not yield greater profit
proportionately than the average prod
ucts at your disposal. Those who have
thoroughly tried it, either as a business
in itself or as side issue, are almost
unanimous in declaring that it is one
of the most profitable, if not the most
profitable, branches of farming. One
must not expect to do we'll at it unless
he is willing to devote time, and talents
to it, and even then there are few who,
despite their best efforts, will fail; the
same is true in every business and pro-
fession. To such would say, try some
thing else, but to the average man
would recommend keeping few fowls,
if situated SO that it is at all practicable
TO do so.

Sum bath. for Fowls.

1t is not alone the cold weather in
winter, but even more the lack of sun
light luring the short days, that re-
stricts egg production at this season.
Plenty Of sunlight is as essential as
warmth to make the hens lively and
health:ul. But the single glass narrow
windows. often only single pane. and
that covered with dust and cobwebs at
all seasons, and with ice in winter do
little good. What are needed in all
henhouses are large windows with an
extra frame and glass with space Of
inclosed air large enough to fill most
of the south side of the building. Keep
the place where the sunlight falls free
from manure and fill this with sand or
coal ashes. Fowls will dust themselves
here. and basking in the sunlight they
will soon begin to lay.

PAINT SAVED OUR SHIPS.
The Dull Tint Used a. War Paint Made
Them Poor Targets for
Spaniards.

II am delighted TO read the kilograms
from Washington that the American
warships are being painted white
again." said Col. K. B. Brown at the
Russ house the other night. The colo
mel is from Virginia City and, like most
Nevadans, he oscillates between the
Russ and Palace-boards at the first
and talks politics in the rotunda of the
other.
''White is the color of peace, and that
is what suits me-" continued Col.
Grown. ut suits me especially when it
is won in such a glorious fashion as was
set by Dewey and Schley. When our
floating fighting machines visit other
countries they will still be properly
designated as the white navy, and no
prettier or sturdier ships ever made
burrows in the sea.
"This changing the color of our ships
IS expensive. butt is good investment.
When was at Santiago de Cuba on a
Fress boat four weeksago I took good
look at the war beats in their fighting
paint and it convinced me that the Yam
kee who got up that idea was no bevel-.
headed amateur. He knew what, he was
doing, and the government was wise in
accepting the suggestion.
"The dirty, neutral tint of the vessels
made them look as if they were merging
into the marine waterscape. You could
scarcely tell where the ships ended and
the water began, SO that it was much
more difficult to draw bead on them
than if they had been painted in any
clear color. The Spaniards are poor
marksmen, of course, but I believe that
our ships escaped many q shot and shell
by putting on the neutral tint. Our
American Indians always put on their
war paint before going into battle. and
why shouldn't our fighting ships?''-

Pure Breed. ana Prices.

If you desire birds that will enable

stock next season do not be afraid of
the cost. 1t costs time. money, and
skill to breed flocks up to high aver
age, and the prices usually asked are
not extortionate. If you are not par
t;cular about exhibiting, and desire
some strong vigorous birds, that have
no faults but twist of the comb, or
some slight defect, for crossing on COM
mon stock. let the breeder know it when
you write. and he will try to accommo-
date you. No breeder generally has
two birds ut the same price. They are
sold according to quality; for that rea-

wants, and do not expect the breeder to
know your desires.-American Gar-
