several miles west of the city. These
cisterns are still there.
The English left the castle as they
found it, with the upper works pat
tered down by their own guns. Wheh
the Spaniards returned to power AFTER
an absence of ten months they at once
set about rebuilding it. 1t was put
i'm the form it is now, excepting the
lighthouse tower; this was completed
as it now stands during the govern

1874 as his name and the date hlgh
UP on the tower assure us. The light
is a strong one, and there are seldom
heavy fogs for it to penetrate. the
signal tower displays signals almost
all day, for there is usually vessel
in sight, even though it be only a
schooner. Many times at night signal
lights are exchanged between 1t and
some ship out at sea- On especial holl-
days all of its flags are shown in brave
array. Hundreds of people congregat-
ed there when the American flag went
down and the Cuban went up.
Dark Dungeons still Seen.
AS the traveller wanders about with
in the walls he sees dungeons without
any light, where he may imagine that
prisoners languished, although the mill
itary prison was in Cabana Fortress.
Some of the rooms were used as prison
cells during the last few months of the
American regime. Now, it has only
guard of Cuban soldiers, and seem to
be only a showplace, and its walls a
visitors book. Its guns would doubt
less give a good account of themselves,
however, should the occasion arise.
But this does not occur to the visitor
as he goes about looking into gloomy
rooms where rusty cannon balls are
piled up or peering into darker ones
from which the boot of a white owl
comes to him. When on his way out
he goes through the long covered way
and crosses the moat by means of the
drawbridge, from which several boards
are missing, coming out upon the hill
which overlooks the bay and the city
beyond, he thinks that he has come
back from the past to the present.
Tres Reyes" (Three Kings is the
specific name of the castle. although
it. is never called that, and many do
not know that it has any claim to that
name. Motto" is the generic name
of fortresses situated as it is on a jut-
ting rock. Santiago has one, San Juan
has one, and other cities also. With
the Punta Castle guarding the city
side of the entrance, and planned in
the same year 1889, and the FuerZa,
half a mile further in and antedating
it by fifty years, it forms the motive
of the Havana escutcheon, three cas-
ties; the key signifies the position of
the city.
AS "a prophet is not without honor
save in his own country" so is it with
the MORO. Many people living in the
city have never been within it's walls;
some have never even crossed the en-
trance to the harbor-a row of only ten
or fifteen minutes, or a sail of half the
time in one of the many little boats all
ways awaiting passengers.

In the springtime, able and expert
enCed physicians urge upon those who
are subject to headaches, the use of
Paine's Celery Compound. In tens of

sick people an immediate supply of
nerve force, with pure blood, active

work Of Paines Celery Compound is
not a simple relieving of pain; it eff
fectually reaches the root and causes
of disease and permanently banishes
the trouble. Mrs. barley, Franklin,
Ill. saws:
After trying in vain several remedies
for headache, | began using Paine's
Celery Compound. This great medi-
cine not only cured me. but it built up
my system and made me feel like
new woman. 1t is the only medicine we
keep in the house"
Mrs. Benjamin Perry of North Au-

Bishop Joseph H. Johnson, of the
Southern California diocese. formerly
of Detroit, gave the Protestant Episco-
pal congregation at Lompoc, Santa
Barbara county, a surprise by appoint
ing the Rev. George S. Brown, of Phil
adelphia, rector Bishop Johnson was
as much surprised as the parishioners
when Brown arrived here to begin his
work. Brown is a negro, and the con-
gregation over which he was called to
preside is white. Bishop Johnson was
not aware of the new rector's color
before his arrival. The appointment
was made as the result of correspond

ton he explained that he was colored,
and presumed that he was coming to
minister to a colored congregation
Bishop Johnson has decided to organ
ize a mission in the negro quarters of

Medical Talk, q monthly publica-
ti0n of Columbus, Ohio, is making
hot fight on the doctors. We do not
know what the circulation Of tie
journal is but it has every appearance
OF enjoying Il large patronage and in
iluence. Its object, as stated In an
editorial in a recent issue is to.giye
the people instruction in hygienc-and
medicine and keep them from allow
ing the doctors to make victims OF
them in experimental ways. Itscems
that tho object is also to encourage
the use Of patent medicines and dis
courage the employment of physici-
ans.
Here is an extract from one ofits
editorials: There are many urgent
reasons why the people ought to
know what the doctors are doing.
They ought to know all abouti it. I'M
like the lawyers and artists and chem
lists, the doctors are asking for lcgis-
lation that vitality affects the home.
The day is past when the people can
afford to ignore what the doctors are
talking about and trying to do. Tile
doctors are asking for laws which will
give them authority to enter the home
and compel the people to submit to
surgical operations to take medicine
that they are unwilling to use. The
doctors are asking for laws Which
would refuse burial to people who died
under tho trcatment.o certain schools
or physicians until the services OF the
coroner have been called upon. The
doctors are asking for laws which
make it difficult, if not impossible for
people to obtain proprietary remedies
In which they have learned to have
confidence. In fact the doctor has
entered the home forcibly and is un-
dcrtaking to do by legislative enact
mcnt what he has found himself un-
able to accomplish by winning the
confidence Of the people. The regular
college made doctor has failed to con-
vince the people that he is any better
able to combat diseases than many
pcoble who have not been to college. y
The Florence Times says: there
can be nothing in the world more vi
cious or dangerous than people trying
to doctor themselves and their fami-
lies with drugs the composition OF
which they know nothing and the af-
feet Of which Is The riskicst expert

should be used with caution and only
when somebody else in whom one can
