that people should go To New York

to Thirty-fifth street.-the densest,
noislest place in the world. Yet |
know a prominent Pittsburg man who,
when he gets tired, slams down his

the train east. In New York he pat
ron'zes a well known hotel much IA
vored by Pittsburgers, asks for a room
on the 18th floor. and il he gets it, or
one Tn the floor either above or below,
he is happy Twelve floors up he is
removed from the noise of the busy
pavement below. So far as quietude
is concerned he might as well be in a
country village. In the morning the
bright sunshine steals in at his win
dow. which overlooks the river and
the dccks below. At night the view is
one of enchantment. watching the yes
sells moving to and fro with their myri-
ad OF lights. And. although there is gay
ETY. below in a dozen corners OF that
self.same hotel, no sound of it ever
penetrates to his quarters. But this is

Why One American Did Not Like Life
in Cuba.
A gentleman recently returned from
Cuba. where ne had gone to inspect
lis tlourishing cotton plantation, is
glad for more reasons than one to get
back to "the states" One of these is
that lie can get something 70 eat
here.
My plantation is within 50 miles
Of Havana" he said, in speaking of
his trip. . AMI yet we were in the
most deplorable state for want of
proper food all the three months
was there. The principal articles of
food among the natives are bananas
and rice. diet net particularly in
yiting to Americans who are ac-
customed to meat, vegetables, milk
and the fat of a country Astounding in
good things to eat. Canned stuff is the
only recourse except when once in
while somebody kills a beef or a sheep.
Goats milk is luxury, and ice is I'M
heard of in the plantation districts.
Added to these unpleasantries ants
ana meas In great numbers make them
2e.ves at home all over the house, and
there's no way of getting rid of them.
Warfare in Cuba, with crops being
destroyed year after year, has been
decidedly discouraging to agricultural
SITS. In some parts the sugar indus
try is again beginning to flourish and
. an attempt Is Icing made to establish
fru,t and vegetable farms. American
enterprise and money are doing a lot
more toward the Improvement of the
county. There is room for many i'm
provements and inventions, but the
main difficulty lying in the way of
their adoption is that the Cubans
haven't the money to spend for them.
