bottle even in the f1rst-class establish

Strategetically, Jamaica will be of
paramount importance when the canal
is built across the isthmus. Kingston
will be the key to the Gulf and Car
ribean Sea, and with its harbor will be
| unassailable. There has been much
| talk of annexation to the United States
I among the free thinking class of the
; island who look ahead to the future,
but it is doubtful if anything will be
realized in this direction.
AS a winter resort Jamaica certainly
ranks high among other West Indian
places for the American. 1t has good
water, good law and good liquor, the
three things a true New Yorker or Chi
cagoian most needs. The habits of
the table must necessarily be changed
if good is expected from a sojourn with
in the tropics, and for quantity and va
riety the fruit of the island eXcels. One
may eat fifteen varieties of fruit day
and be better for it, and there will be
no eXhausting fevers or bowel COM
plants to mar the good work of recon
structing a worn out or overworked
system. For nervous diseases the eli
mate is the best in the world.
When the Canal Is Built.
With the passage of a canal bill the
island of Jamaica will become of great
interest. Besides it's Importance as
naval base, it will probably furnish
most of the labor for the giant cut
through the isthmus. The despised
black man of great size and exceed
ing strength will be looked to as a fac
tor to enable the dream of the COM
merce lover to be realized. The scorn-
ed Jamaica Niger will be the man
behind the hoe who will make the cut.
How this drain will be met by the
fruit growers of the Jamaica planta-
tions it is hard to see. The popula-
ton, however, is numerous and pro-
life and might supply many thousand
men. The Jamaican negro is large,
strong and finely built and, what is
even more necessary for the purpose.

fevers of the isthmus. Coolies, South
American negroes, whites. negroes

anna, but the fever proved deadly to
them. The jamaican, however, i'm
ported by the tens Of thousands, proved
able to Withstand the exposure, and
showed a low death rate that was re-
markable The only quality he is said
not to have Is physical staying power.
This sounds strange with his great
size and strength and climatic endur-
ance. Statistics on this quality are
lacking, and IL may be that the lack

II the lover who is the father of many
children does not attend to business
he will find his place usurped by some
more willing buck and will have to
look elsewhere for a home This
strange state of affairs has been the
bane of the missionaries, but there
seems to be no remedy for it, for a
woman once free will not enter slav-
cry again. With the coolie-the i'm
ported Indian who works the sugar
plantation-the moral ties are entirely
different. The East Indian Furnishes
marital unfaithfulness with death, and
looks down with scorn upon the ne
gro, and will not under any circum-
stance mix with him.
In the gardens on the hillsides are
grapefruit, oranges, bread fruit, which
is the principal fruit of the natives,
and half dozen kind of apples under
different names, all entirely tropical.
Tan<arind trees are in abundance, and
the 'papia, the excellent melon which
grows in a treetop and which resem-
hles huge pear, is to be had for a six
pence. This is peculiar fruit has in its
composition in a certain amount of
vegetable pepsin, which is a godsend
to people with weak digestions. A
dyspeptic may eat a whole melon and
suffer no Indigestion at all.
The Women Help Load.
Falmouth lies in a bay easily seen
from the sea, and its clustering huts
and houses, with here and there a
church spire pointing upward, make a
bright picture. Montego Bay is probab-
ly the prettest spot on the island next
to st. Lucea. 1t is next in size to
Kingston as a town and the stores are
interesting. Lying some fifteen miles
to the westward the ship usually
makes it the last or next to last stop

take in a few thousand punches that
the little town produces. Here, as in
the other Northern Jamaica ports, the
women do the work of loading the fruit

the load to the hold.
To sell intoxicating liquors a license
