TEAR OF RAIN IN CUBA.
Tho Evil Effect of Water Is Not a Mere
 Superstition There.

The Evil Effect of Water Is Not a Mere
 Superstition There.
 The average Cuban is dreadfully afraid of rainwater. He believes that drenching in rainstorm, followed by exposure to the rays of the sun, pro- duces fever-not necessarily yellow fe- yer, but an attack something similar to what is known as swamp fever in Mis- sissippi or chagres in the isthmus of Panama.
 The same belief prevails in Central and South America, but in greater degree. On both coast lines of Nicaragua light shower is the signal for gen. eral scampering indoors and disin- clination to come out again until the sky is perfectly clear Up on the high plateau on which the city of Caracas in Venezuela is situated and where there should be little or no fear of fever ths natives are afraid to get even thei' faces wet. At the first appearance of @ rainstorm the cab drivers, of whom there are more than 400, put up oilcloth screens in front of them and direct the course of the horses through couple of peepholes, avoiding even slight splash in the face.
 All strangers from northern latitudes visiting Caracas are advised that not only is rain dangerous, but that it i not safe to take a bath within zen days after their arrival. Men accEstom. ed to daily plunge find this advice difficult to follow, especially in such a warm climate. Most of them disregard 1t and find that it does them no harm, and that it is superstition based upon the laziness that follows residence in an atmosphere 20 enervating that the dogs are too tired to get out of the way of the horse if the horse wasn't too tired to step on them.
 The Cuban fear of rain, however, Is based upon experience and is not mere superstition. New York Press.
