HOW CUBANS LIE.
rFrom the Atlantic Monthly. ]


It is often hard to tell whether Gu
ban lies to you from ignorance or NAL
ice On ordinary occasions, and about
matters that do not promise to affect
himself he is fairly truthful; but he
seems to know no reason why he
shouldn't tell a lie if he wants to. To
the average Cuban who has always
lived on his own island, lie is a thing
to tell whenever it will serve any use
full purpose-such as getting him out of
a scrape or securing an advantage, or
getting money out of somebody, or
conciliating someone, or creating a
good impression. Here the absence of
a moral sense becomes apparent. With
the Cuban, lying is not a matter of
right but of policy, his shortsighted-
ness preventing him to see that today'S
advantage may be tomorrow'S loss.
The statement common among Ameri-
cans who have lived in Cuba, that the
Cubans are all liars. is much nearer
the truth than most congratulations.
Though they usually tell the truth near
Nv ali of them dissimulate or equivocate
whenever they see occasion. Hence 1T
is not always easy to tell what Cuban
thinks or how he feels about the future
of the island. He sometimes tells you
what he thinks you want to hear.
Every man of property wants Cuba to
be under American control, but he will
not admit it before a crowd, or even to
another Cuban, unless convinced that
he too is heartily in favor of it. The
trait appears likewise in accounts Of the

APES AS CASHIERS.
From the Independent.l

In that far-off, dried up, little orien-
tai country, quite near China, you
know, there are large quantities of
counterfeit coin in circulation, and the
counterfeiters of Siam must be most
proficient, for we hear that it is the
hardest thing in the world to detect the
bad from the good money.
The merchants are often deceived and
frequently swindled. The smartest men
they could employ were deceived too,
for the bad money was such wonder
often failed to find the difference be-
tween a good and bad piece.
In this dilemma some Siamese mer-
chants called to their help someone who
mana monkey. And these large
apes of Siam" proved such a success at
their new ayocat1on that the custom OF
employing them for the purpose of de-
tecting bad money has become univer-
sal. The ape cashier of Siam holds his
situation without a rival
He has a peculiar method of testing
coin. Every piece is handed to him and
he picks up each bit of money, one at a
time, and meditatively puts it into his
mouth, tasting it with grave delibera-
fact plainly. He takes it from his
mouth and carefully places it in its
proper receptacle beside him. He has
pronounced judgment and everyone is
satisfied that the judgment is correct.
But if the coin is bad the cashier
makes known his verdict in an equally
unfnlStakaDIe manner. he throws IL
violently from his mouth to the floor.
shaking his head with much disgust
as the merchant himself might feel at
being imposed upon. With loud chatter
ing and angry gestures he makes known
his displeasure at being presented with
a bad piece of money. The merchant
himself could not express it better.
Now, how does monkey know what
a man cannot tell? All, that is the
secret. He never reveals it. Perhaps
he is afraid if he should make known
all the mysteries of his profession his
occupation might be gone and people
would once more prefer men for cash
iers in place of the extraordinary apes
employed by the merchants of Siam

HER MAJESTY's PETS.
tFrom the London News.1

From the London News.
The queens collection of pet animals
is very large and very varied. Her ma
jesty's pets consist mostly however, of
dogs, horses, and donkeys. The follow
ing is a partial list of the animals
which are or have been royal pets:
Flora and Alma, two horses IA hands
high, presented to the queen by Victor
Emmanuel. At the other extreme are
two Shetland ponies, one three feet six
inches high, and another a dark brown
mare like a miniature cart horse.
Among the royal pets Jessie, the queens
faVorite riding mare, held high place.
She attained the ripe old age of 81
years. Another favorite is gray
Arab, presented to her majesty by the
Thakore of Morvi. The queens stables
contain IS harness horses, ranging from
dark brown to light chestnut.
Among the favorite dOnkeyS, Jenny, a
white animal, has been with the queen
ever since she was foal, and celebra-
ted her twenty-fifth birthday some
ass, brought to England by Lord
Wolseley, was included among the roy
al pets. His son, a gray donkey, car
ried the queens grandchildren. There is
also a strong handsome donkey named
Jacquot, with white nose and a knot
ted tail, which at one time drew the
queens chair, and accompanied her to
Florence. Among the most curious pets
are an enormous bison, named Jack,
obtained in exchange from the Zoologi-
cal Gardens, and Zulu COW bred from
the herd of Cetewayos brother. The
royal herd of 80 COWS in milk are chief
ly short-horns and Jerseys.
The royal kennels contain over so
dogs. Every dog is exercised twice a
day, morning and afternoon. The little
dogs go out first. The feeding time is at
o'clock in the afternoon. In cold
weather they get dry biscuit in the
morning, and their compartments are
heated with hot water pipes. Her ma
jesty's favorite dogs, who accompanied
her wherever she went, were Spot,
fox terrier; Roy, a black and tan colley,
and little brown Spitz called Marco.
Her favorite dogs are col1eys, and she
has a liking for beautiful little Skyes.
Many old pets have tombs in various
parts of the royal grounds. In is said
that her majesty, although she often
exhibits her dogs, never allows them to
pass the night away from home. They
are taken to and from the exhibition
each day by their guardians.

Cuban army. However, it is only fair
to say that the glowing descriptions
given by the Cubans of the perform
ances and the glorious victories of that
somewhat mythical force are not inten-
tional, deliberate, cold-blooded lies. Car
ried away by imagination as fertile as
the soil of their island, they actually be-
Heve their own monstrous inventions.
For, after all, the Cuban loves better
than all other things on earth to strike
an attitude, to pose, to strut and brag,
and make himself out a great man and
his gentle fellow islanders a great ma
ton.
Thousands or Cubans really believe
that there was once a band of men
worthy to be called a Cuban army, and
that they fought battles. Others admit
that there were merely little companies
of starving stragglers, who sometimes
fired their two cartridges apiece from
ambush at Spanish scouting parties.
and then scattered. But they all think
they did great execution. Get some
American or Englshman who was with
them to tell you his view of it. 1t will
be discourag ingly different. Cuba is
infested with "after-the-war" soldiers,
braggadocio mock heroes, who never
got within earshot of fighting.
