census report, which has but recently
been issued. There are several chap
tiers In the bulky volume which have
been devoted to the subject of agricul-
ture with interesting and valuable re-
suits. Special schedules were prepared
for the taking Of census statistics from
the plantations. Even SO the greatest
difficulty was experienced in procuring
accurate statements, since the majority
of the farms had been abandoned
throughout the war and were still I'm
settled. Travelling over miles of rough
country the census enumerators found
everywhere devastation and ruined
homes, still deserted and uncared for.
Tending to complicate matters also was
the fact that many of the plantations
had been divided into small patches of
ground In order to avoid the taxes
levied even on the smallest subdivision
Of ground at the rate of So. The ma
Iority of the tenants resulting were
but OF temporary residence and were
able to give almost no information con-
,ernlng the land and its productive
ness. The schedules which were after
much work returned therefore are
defective. Previous to the

plantations, farms, orchards and cattle

MARRIAGE IN TURKEY.

Safeguards Thrown Around the Rishts
of a Mosiem Woman.
Among the Turks marriage Is a
strictly civil act the validity Of which
consists in being attested by at least
two witnesses; and although an imam,
or priest is usually present at the sign
ing of the contract, II Is rather in his
legal than In his religious capacity.
The civil ceremony is very simple. The
bridegroom and his witnesses repair to
the home Of the bride, In the selamlik.

Except for cigars and cigarettes the
numerous forms In which tobacco Is
used are not manufactured In Cuba.
Tobacco Is raised as an article of CON-
merce in but four of the six provinces

there is no question but that 1t could be
advantageously raised in the other two.
One of the industries which Is now

for richness, flavor and the productive
capacity of the trees the coffee of Cuba
is not surpassed by that of any other
West India island or by South America.
History of Coffee Production.
In the years 1S43 and 1916 violent
hurricanes visited Cuba and seriously
damaged the coffee crop. Owing TO
these disasters the increased coffee
trade of the East Indies and South
America and the larger and more GER
tain profits of sugar cultivation, the
coffee industry of Cuba rapidly de-
clined and by 1850 the amount export
ed was but $4,000 arrobas. The cof-
fee plantations were converted to other
uses and the trade In coffee practically
disappeared. The worlds estimated

DEFIED THE CENSOR,


In a reply to the charges made
against British officers who We're pris-
oners in Pretoria by Richard
Harding Davis, the Rev. w. j. Bats
states that the real reason for the re-
moval of the officers from the Model
School to the prison outside the town
was the escape of some of the prison
ers from the school and the fact that
1T was definitely known that informa-
ton had been conveyed Ito the Off
cers) from at least one house near by"
1t is stated that the British officers
We're kept very fully informed of what
was going on outside by a plucky Eng
fish girl, a Miss Cullingworth, whose
family resided in a house close to the
Model school.
An official high in the service of the
State Telegraphs, whose sympathies
were with the British, taught Miss
Cullingworth the Morse alphabet, and
regularly supplied her with the latest
news sent over the telegraph wires
Standing inside the front door of her
house, Miss Cullingworth with a small
flag signalled the news brought to her
by the official, and the message was
read by an officer stationed at one of
the school windows, standing far back
to escape detection. 1t was, of course,
very risky proceeding, and, the Off
Ger who had taken the message would
write 1t down and pass it round at meal
times. Although the Beers knew that
information was reaching the prisoners,
they never discovered the method en-
ployed. On being released, the officers
waited on the Cullingworth family to
express their gratitude, and presented
Miss Cullingworth with a small memen-
to in recognition of her pluck.-Japan-
csc Gazette.

sTOMAWAY BRIDES.

"Stowaway brides are not as rare at
the barge office as one would believe.
1t is quite easy for a girl to slip aboard
an outgoing steamer and stow herself
in one of the hunks below decks, ly-
ing quietly there till well at sea. A
case happened a little while ago, the
girl coming to meet her fiance here.
AS both were poor, the former resorted
to this perilous oXpedient to accomplish
the desired end. One would think that
such a heroic endeavor would deserve
better reception; but on arriving
having been worked very hard on ship
board for passage, worn and worried
almost to distraction, the maiden was
so changed by her ordeal of love that
when her betrothed met her he refused
to marry her. "A few days later, while
being taken back to the ship for de-
portation she leaped into the bay. Res

ROUGH TREATMENT AT SEA.
American Shin George Sheffield has
Hard Trip to Japan.


Under date of December 81, the Japan
Daily Mail Of Yokohama has the follow
ing from Nagasaki:
The American sailing vessel George
Skolfield entered Nagasaki harbour on
Friday evening, December 1S). in tow
of the Mitsu Bishi Company's tug-boat
Yugao Maru. The former vessel has
had an eventful voyage. She was on
her way from San Francisco to Port
Arthur with a cargo of hay and grain.
On the 25th ult., while attempting to
make the Van Deimen strait, she unfor-
tunately stranded off Miyazaki, Hyuga
Province, but subsequently came off
unaided. Temporary repairs were eff
fected to the damaged hull and it was
decided to bring the vessel to Nagasaki
to ascertain the extent of he damages.
The vessel arrived to within eight
miles of the entrance to the harbor but
during the night was blown out to sea
in the direction of the Gotos. She again
attempted to reach the port, but failed
and was obliged to run across to ANA
kusa, where she dropped anchor in To-
miCka Bay.
A telegram was sent to Nagasaki ask
ing for assistance, and the Yugao was
dispatched to tow the vessel here. The
ship presented a strange appearance as
she entered the harbor. Her cargo had
shifted and the vessel has heeled over
considerably. She will go into dock for
repairs, after discharging her cargo,
which, it is believed. is all spoiled,

STEAMER WITH BAGS.

The British steamer Indrapurra, 1852
tons, havin~ been ordered to this ocast
for the proposed new line between Port
land and Hongkong, will load a cargo
of Wheat Bags at Calcutta for San
Francisco. This is the first steamer to
be used exclusively for that trade. The
big sailin~ ship the Highfields, 1920
tons, is already loading wheat bags at
Calcutta for San Francisco. AS yet
these are the only ships named for this
service for account of next seasons
business. But there will be the usual
consignments by the regular passenger
and freight steamers plying between
Hongkong and San Francisco. 1t is
thou~ht that the British steamer Indra-
velli. also ordered to this coast for the
new China line from Portland, may
bring over a lot of wheat bags. There
need be no fear about the supply.

Shipwrecked japanese Saved by the
Well Known Liner.

YOKOHAMA, December 19.-The O.
80. steamer Doric arrived at Yoko-
hama from San Francisco yesterday
morning, having on board six ship
wrecked japanese. They were the crew
of the Matsugoshi-maru a sailing ves-
sci of 65 tons, which had been caught
in heavy storm on her way back to
Ishinomaki. RikuZen, from Chroshi,
Shimosa. 1t appears the vessel left the
later port, December 5. and continued
her voyage in safety till the 18th, when
the disaster took place. Her masts
were blown down. and the crew expert
enced such hardships as prevented
them from working the vessel. After
drifting about six days they spoke the
Doric at a. m. on the 18th, and called
for assistance. The Japanese were
picked up, and brought to Yokohama,
where they have been handed over to
the Water Police.
