WITH A LAVISH HAND
Nature Has Dealt Kindly With
the West Indies.
NO MAN NEED WORK
FOR THERE'S FOOD TO BE HAD FOR
THE PICKING.
Where Countless Varieties of Fruits
and Vegetables Grow Wild
in Great Abundance.

Written for The Evening Star.
Earth has nothing more lovely than it's
pastures and pimento groves. nothing more
enchanting than its hills and wales, de-
liciOus in verdure and redolent with the
fragrance of spices" -
These words were written hundreds of
years ago by one of the companions of
Christopher Columbus to Queen Isabella.
He was describing the district of Saint
Ann. as it is now called in the Island of
Jamaica. 1t had been settled by the Span
iards for several years at that time.
1t is even more lovely today, but this
paradise is only one of hundred of its
kind in jamaica, and one of thousand
in the West Indies.
Nature has dealt with these islands with
q most lavish hand In no other part of
the tropics is there a greater luxuriance
of vegetation or a more wonderful variety
of the fruits of the earth. The cocoanut
palms cover the lowlands and fringe the
seaboard down to the coral reefs on which
the mighty breakers of the Caribbean roll
in mountains of surf Orange and lemon
trees do not have to be cultivated They
grow up wherever a chance seed may hap
pen to fall. When you cut your way with
a maChette through the tangled under
growth of mountain jungle in Jamaica,
you can quench your thirst every few hun
growing wild, or you can even cut pine
apple from the midst of its spiky leaves on
the ground.
Il once sat in the shadow of a negro
PEASANTS hut, overshadowed by cocoanut
and tenderly guarded from the sun by the
broad leaves of the banana and the deep
green denseness of a cottonwood tree" said
an English friend in Jamaica to the writer.
Il counted fifteen different trees within a
radius of fifty yards which bore either fruit
or vegetables and there were more If | had
known enough to recognize them
Wealth of Vegetation.
The slender cocoanut tree, which is at
once meat and drink for those who like it;
the soft. mealy, luscious bana; the green
yellow orange, which, when plucked and
eaten fresh from the tree, makes the or
ange of American commerce seem to be a
very poor relation indeed; the coffee plant,
with its dazzling blossom; the cacao from
which cocoa and chocolate are derived; the
pimentO, a perfect casket of spicy scents;
the breadfruit, starch-like and unpleasant
in taste to the visitor, but the real staff of
life to the native; the emerald-green alli-

a man of true and lofty feeling. In mas
terry of drawing he had no equal in Venice,
LEless it were Tintoretto, and no superior
anywhere except one or two of the great

there is a kind of meagernesS in the at

has combined a magnificent amplitude with

has style, and his naturalism is never trIv-
ial or commonplace.
His range of subject and treatment is
wide. In THE Finding of Moses he is
gay and familiar, in the Europa" luXuri-

1t is also the official center of the Univer-
sity of Paris, which itself is the higher de-
partment of what is called the Academy of
the Paris Region-that is. of all the state
schools, primary, secondary and higher.
BY the same fact it is really the center of
the great University of France, which is
Identical with the whole national educa-
ton.
It's Unique Position.
Here is single example, by the way. At
ST. Denis, in the outskirts of Paris, behind
high, jealous walls, there is the most ex-
elusive and particular and old fashioned
girls boarding school of all France. 1t is
the House of Education of the Legion of
Honor-exclusive to the daughters and
nleces of members; and the program of it's
studies was originally drawn I'D by the
great Napoleon. The aristocratic ladies at
the mead OF 1t proudly retained the old pro-
gram until a few years ago. Then a new
program was imposed on them BY whom /?
EXACTLY by the late rector of the Irniver
slty or Paris, the celebrated Grerard: and
down for them ~
This is why the Sorbonne takes place
IN the national education of France TO
Which no institution in America corresponds
ia any sense Harvard is not superior TO
Yale. nor is Yale superior to Princeton
nor would all three together dream of law
ing down scheme of studies-let us say
lor west Point boys?-no, rather for little
-. " '"Sh DodIuiIlS SCHOOL. In not a
single boarding school in France for that
matter, are the examination papers along
other lines than those of the university
programs. -
Thus, Barrett Wendell, late of Harvard
University, and at present American doc
TOT Sorbonicus," has mystical connection
with all the other university seats of
france When he has finished his long
course at tie Sorbonne this winter he will
give shorter courses in Lille. Lyons Gren-
obie and Dfjon. The striking fact OF
course, Is that he has been OFFICIALLY an
pointed as lecturer In the French uniyer-
sity faculty of letters; and its interest is
only enhanced by the fact that he comes to
the Sorponne by way of the Hyde founda-
ton, which every year takes French Iec-
turers-like Bruntiere, who was the first
to Harvard.

New York, March 23.-The speculative

tone was more of dullness and lassitude.
Much less significance was attached to

OF the merger stocks in the curb market

induced some demand for American
