LIFE OF A CUBAN FAMILY.
Bath Tubs Almost Unknown and a
Daily Face Wash "a Rarity.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
The way the average Cuban family lives
would give an American housewife the
horrors-improvident of course, and with
such little knowledge of cookery that IL
amounts TO not more than a farce. The
frying pan and the coffee pot are the only
two indispensable articles in Cuban kit
chen. A roast is an unknown quantity;
a stew is occasionally ventured upon, and
the soup is rare and diaphanous. But the
coffee pot is always in evidence, and the
frying pan sizes at every meal
| have often been amused at Cuban
women frying meat. They will have moth
ing but the leanest kind, and the butcher
must trim off every particle of fat. In
the far south this is not a very difficult
matter, as the kline are not burdened with
that article to any great extent, but the
Cuban woman, to make sure, prefers to
cut from the round to any other portion.
This lean-and generally tough-meat
is taken home, and then the lady who
abllors beef fat drops it into pan con-
tanning about half pound of hog fat and
szzies it TO the consistency of a piece of
wet sole leather OF vegetables their
range is confined to yams. okra, rice, ba-
nauas and one or two others. / very much
fear that our Northern markets would not
please the Cuban woman.
keeping l very much regret to say that the
Cuban woman is not in line with our
Ideas. The broom Is occasionally In evil
dence but there all attempts to tidy up"
stop. Soap and the scrubbing brush APP
pear to be unknown quantities Year in
and year out the floors remain as they
WERE the window panes get but an occa-
sional wipe with bit of paper, and the
yard. if there happens to be one. is
sight 10 behold Those who have read
about the streets of Santiago must not
think the reports exaggerated. A street
where Cubans live must be cleaned by
the city, if al all; the residents would be
buried in fifth before they would make
move to clean up. When the dirt gets too
mountainous they move.
These household habits extend to the
person. A bathtub is unknown to the Gu
ban woman of the ordinary SORT and a
daily face wash is almost as rare. Per-
fumery and face powders are used as SUBJ
stitutes. and American women will hardly
accept them in that Night
Now, what Is to be done with woman
who is a heather ia cookery, Is not clean
or tidy in the house or with her person,
and Is not inclined in the least to mend
her ways? TO the American mind no
amount of coquettish ways, soft voices or
gliding walk can compensate for these
shortcomings Such a woman needs civil
izing. Perhaps we had better begin now
organizing societies for teaching Cuban
women American ways We cannot ig-
more this new addition TO our sisterhood,
so we can but hope that our example VIII

self from the thraldom of old customs.

SEEKING HIDDEN TREASURE.
A Discovery In the Temple of Esch-
noun, In Tunis.

From the London Globe
Another treasure has just been brought
to light. not in Spain this time, but in
Tunis II is said to be composed Of val
liable objects, such as ingots of gold,
jewels set with diamonds, and other prec-
ious articles. Ii was discovered in the
Temple of Eschmoun, one of the gods
whom the Carthaginians venerated, and
is, therefore, no ordinary treasure. Esch-
mon and his temple in Byrsa, the citadel
Of Carthage. Pilgrims were wont to as
sembe there to pray for the protection of
the gold The Romans were on the point
of taking Byrsa when a prudent citizen
removed the treasure and hid it at the
bottom of a grotto. which was closed up
with large stones. There it was found
the other day by couple of natives. De-
string TO be on good terms with the law
they laid the matter before a Frenchman
who in his turn informed the residency
of the event. An agreement was come
to according 10 which the state gave half
of the treasure to the Frenchman and the
two natives, and the other half to the
Beaux-Arts.
True or false, the history of this treas
ure must not be forgotten. AT all times
human credulhy has had a weakness for
hidden treasures. The reader may re-
member the stir that was made by the re-

A long, narrow han leads from this room

made Of price. Mr.. Spreckies merely said
he wanted the best.
