Havana, Cuba, Jan. &c, 1901. -
Gold, rs well as valuable marble
and granite deposits, has been dis
covered upon the isle of Pines. Mr..
Manuel Lopez Gonzalez, native
Cuban, once a resident of New Or
leans, is the finder of the first gilt
tering quartz. He has just formally
filed his claim to forty hectares,
more or less, in the district of
Nueva Corona, and staked off the
property, and is encamped thereon,
defending his rights pending re-
ceipt of certificate of registry. An
American engineer, who looked
over the claim and has examined a
number of the specimens, regards
the find as very rich one, and as
a result of his declaration several
other prospectors have gone to the
island. *

many months of constant work he
is on the eve of seeing the compile.
tion of the main building of the In.
dustrial Institute. A few more DAYS
and the elegant and spacious struc.
ture will be finished. Aside from
its great architectural beauty, this
building has many exceptional ad-
vantages possessed by few others in
the country. 1t is thoroughly mod
ern in every respect, and now that it
is about completed, one may have
an idea of how we'll it was planned.
That the plan was conscientiously
executed there seems to be no doubt.
All, the president, building commit
tee, architect, contractor and every
body else connected with it, tried to
give the State good job, and the
building itself is the best evidence of
the success of their efforts. 1t is a
grand structure which will stand for
ages as an eloquent monument to the
intelligence and skill of the builders
and to that enlightened spirit of
progress which the people of Lafa-
yette displayed in their efforts to
have the institution located here.
The cost of the building is about
$4l 900. In this are included a few
extra improvements not stipulated
in the original contract, amounting
to little over $4,000.
AS soon as practicable the dormi-
tory and other buildings will be
erected, preparatory to the opening

The Object of Education.

The object Of education in the
public schools is to prepare young
men and women for intelligent
citizenship and for the pracIlcal
duties of everyday life, and we may
as well acknowledge that this means
in large majority of cases plebeian
life. Every honest man must first
be bread-earner before he can be
a landowner; he must be a good
Office boy before he can be a bank
president; he must know how to
calculate interest on a promissory
note before he can successfully cut
coupons from bonds he must write
a good business hand long time
before he can expect to sign
cashiers checks in a bank.-7he

rlany Teachers Talk Too Much.

A fault of many teachers is toe
much talk. They multiply words
without knowledge, to the confu.
sion of the learners minds. The
case of the boy who said, "I can
understand the lesson we'll enough
but it's the teachers explanation
of the lesson that troubles me-"
probably has good many paral-
lels. The good teacher is econom-
ical of speech. His words are few

OF course you are crowded with
work, but that is no excuse for
your failure to have singing in
your school. Five or ten minutes
given to singing during the day
will be time we'll spent. A good
rousing song at the opening of
school will arouse the pupils to
take their work with enthusiasm
and they will pursue it with greater
energy. A song at the close of the
day may remove all unpleasant
thoughts of the day from the mind
and the child will 60 home con-

very wholesome effect on discipline.

Louisiana Oil Possibilities.

wells equal to the gusher discovered
below Beaumont, Texas.
Men Of science and men in posi-
tion to know say that the same sub
soil conditions and the same strait

lana that are found in southeastern
Texas.
It happened that J. NJ. Guffey, o1

tor in the country who is not con.
trolled by the Standard Oil trust.
He is already immensely wealthy
and has had an exciting career all
his life.
"Mr. Guffey discussed the oil
possibilities of the gulf cost, and
he said the north cost of the gulf
of Mexico was similar in formation
to the north coast of the Black sea,
where the rich Russian oil territory
exists. The qualification of the
earth is the same-that is, a forma-
tion of clay and sand-and no rock.
There is no rock on the gulf down
here and none in the Russian oil
regions. j."
"Isn't there a possibility Of oil
being discovered in Louisianai"
was asked.
~ can see no reason why; in
fact, oil has been struck in certain
localities.
"Wherei"
"In Sabine parish, for instance,
and in Natchitoches. But the flow
has not been sufficient to warrant
an investment and the working of
the wells. The production has been
very light, but it shows the exis-
tence of oil. There is a gas we'll

localitiesi"
Eyes, the whole Atchafalaya
basin is more or less an oil country.
We know that oil exists"
''Is there no way to investigator"
"Only by boring wells, and that
is an expensive process. You might
sink a hundred without getting a
thing-then some fellow might
come along and dig one where you
hadn't thought Of and there strike
a gusher. Look at the Beaumont
case. 1t is a hit and miss business

are more likely to miss it. "-|

A powerful engine cannot be run with a
weak boiler, and we can't keep up the
strain of an active life with a weak
stomach neither can we stop the human
machine to make repairs. If the stomach
cannot digest enough food to keep the
