Peasants Wants Are Few.

Peasants Wants Are Few.
The Cuban peasant has never
learned to read and has therefore no
desire for money to purchase books or
periodicals, his craving for art is sat
isfied by gaudy patent medicine cal
endar, and when his soul yearns for
music he makes it himself on an
empty olive key covered with a deer
skin, or on a gourd with an artifcially
roughened surface, which when
scraped with steel wire gives forth
a sound similar to that produced by
drawing a lath rapidly along a picket
fence.
The family of the Cuban farmer Is
often numerous, but lis household ex-
penses are few. The house itself he
built with his own hands and palm
trees furnished nearly all Of the ma
terial used in It's construction. No
saw or hammer was employed in erect
ing it. The posts and POLES used in
making the. framework OF the house
we're chopped into shape with a ma
chete and bound together by stout
vines that grow wild in the woods.
The roof is matched with palm leaves.
The sides are covered with strips Of
yagua, tough pellicle that binds the
leaves of the royal palm to the trunk
of the tree. When there is floor,
which is not often, it is made Of the
hard outer shell Of the royal palm
split into narrow strips.
Bills for fuel or ice do not enter into
the economy Of the Cuban farmers
household. The suit Of cotton cloth
he wears in July serves him also in
December. He wears belt in pref
erence to suspenders, and he refuses
to tuck his shirt into his trousers, but
wears it like kimono. The Cuban
peasant is superstitious and he will

Inherent Love Of Gambling.
The passion for gambling is strong
in the Cuban. He will bet on anything,
but prefers to stake his money on
cards and gamecocks. Cock fighting
which is now forbidden by law, was
for generations the national sport Ut
the Cubans, and if the matter we've
left to the popular vote think they
would go back to it, just as they would
go back to the lottery.
The lottery that the Spaniards main
tanned in Cuba was a national lottery,
and the government derived a large
revenue from its operation. 1t was
supported by the poor, and though It
robbed them of their substance, 1t en-
abled them, they say, to forget that
they were poor, or at least to hope
that they would not be so poor always.
One woman-she worked in a cigar
factory and earned so cents day
stripping tobacco-told me that she
had bought lottery ticket, which
costs 20 cents, every month, ever
since she was little girl, and that al
though she had never won anything
she would begin buying them to-mor-
row if she could.
"And while I was waiting for the
drawing to take place." she said, Il
could always hope that was going
to win prize. Now I can't even hope.
Isn't it worth 20 cents a month to DO
able to hope?"
Strength Of Family Ties.
The family tie is very strong In
Cuba. Even the poor extend the
scanty aid they can to relatives more
unfortunate than themselves. | re-
member an incident that illustrates
this trait of Cuban character. At a
coast town saw a poor shoemaker
whose widowed sister had recently
died in another town, leaving two lit
tie girls. The mayor Of the town had
written to the shoemaker telling him
, that it had been the mothers wish
that he should take the children under
his protection, but that If he did not
feel able to assume this additional
! burden the children. whose father had
died in the war, were entitled to the
protection of the asylum for soldiers
orphans. The large family that he had
at home would be a severe tax on the
shoemaker's scanty means; but his
sense of duty and family pride were
strong, and he came to the seaport tC
