HOW CUBANS LIE.
They Have No Moral Sense Where th'
Truth Is Concerned.

They Have No Moral Sense where tho
Truth Is Concerned.
1t is often hard to tell whether a
Cuban lies to you from ignorance or
malice, says Herbert Pelham Williams
in the Atlantic On ordinary occasions
and about matters that do not promise
to affect himself, he Is fairly truthful,
but he seem to know no reason why
he shouldn't tell lie If he wants 10.
To the average Cuban who has always
lived on his own island lie Is 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, OF
conciliating some one, or creating
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 short-sighted-
ness preventing him from perceiving
that today's advantage may be To-
morrow's loss. The statement, COM
mon among Americans who have lived
in Cuba, that the Cubans are all liars,
is much nearer the truth than most
cancellations. Though they usually
tell the truth, nearly all of them dis
seminate or equivocate whenever they
see occasion. Hence it is not always
easy to tell what a 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 I'M
der American control, but he will not
admit it before a crowd, or even to an
other Cuban, unless convinced that he,
| too, is heartily in favor of it. The
| trait appears, likewise, in accounts OF
the Cuban army. However, 1t is only
fair to say, that the glowing descrip-
lions given by the Cubans Of the per-
formances and the glorious victories
of that somewhat mythical force are
not intentional, deliberate, cold-blood-
ed lies. Carried away by imaginations
as fertile as the soil of their island,
they actually believe their own mon
strous 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 great man and his gen
tie fellow-islands a great nation.
Thousands of Cubans really believe
that there was once a band Of men
worthy to be called Cuban army, and
that they fought battles. Others adj
NIT that there were merely little COM
panies of starving stragglers, who
sometimes fired their two cartridges
apiece from ambush at Spanish scout
ing parties and then scattered. But
they all think they did great execution
Get some American or Englishman
who was with them to tell you his view
of it. 1t will be discouragingly differ
ent. Cuba is infested with after the
war" soldiers, braggadocio mock he
roes who never got within earshot Of
fighting.

New Zealand Parrot.

In New Zealand there is peculiar
kind Of parrot found, which does not
seem to exist in any other place. The
nstives call it the "Kea." 1t inhabits
or1y South Island, in mountainous re-
81 ons, and was formerly vegetable
ard insect-eating bird, but when sheep
ware introduced into the country, it
began to frequent the various stations,
especially where sheep had been killed,
ard it was observed to feed upon the
of'Rl. Later on it acquired the strange
ann Objectionable habit of destroying
live sheep, for which purpose number
Of these parrots band together and
hunt out a weakly member of the flock
which they worry and torment till 1t
fails to the ground. Then the vora-
cirrus creatures attack it on the flank,
wsere the skin is thinnest, and even
before the animal is dead they are de-
voflring the kidney fat, which they
Sc, ms to prefer to all other food. This
ser ms to be one of the most remarka-
biz instances known Of a sudden
ch=nge of habit.
