1T is said that Governor GlaSscock is
finding great difficulty in making up the
membership of the State Board OF Re-
gents, which will have to do with the
appointment of instructors in the educa-
tional institutions and the laying out of the
courses of study. Many persons are be-
ing pressed for these places who have
private ends to subServe, and the Gov
ernor is anxious TO avoid this sort thing,
particularly as to getting men who are in
fluenced by the big-and corrupt-school
book companies.
Somehow we think ii might be better
for the Governor to appoint persons who
are not applicants for these positions
men OF sound common sense, good char
acter and business ability who are not
seeking the places, but who would be
willing to serve from sense of duty to
the State; men who have the same high
ideals that we are very sure impel the
Governor to want the very best results
and who will have the courage to act up
on their honest convictions.

As to eating, am fortunate both in a
good appetite and good supply. In the
morning get cup OF coffee and a roll.
Breakfast comes at II o'clock. Though
the CubanS have but two meals, they
more than make up in these two for the
morning famine. The first time went to
a meal here the waiter came in with a
waiter full of dishes of all kinds.
thought he was bringing in dinner for the
whole table, but he surrounded my plate
with the whole Waterfall. said plates,
because at every meal we have pile OF
plates in front of us. The CubanS eat
certain foods off OF certain plates. They
are very fond Of mixtures. Every day
we have stew of fish, onions, beans and
potatoes. Then usually another kind OF
fish, some lettuce and Boston beans. Al
so some rice, and bananas fried with beef
steak, which is very good. There are
pleasant surprises at Cuban table. You
often cut into an egg-omelet and find a
mess of peas and fried potatoes, or bite
into a roll and discover it is full OF hash,
or take the bamboo string off Of nicely
tied up corn husk and get some very
coarse corn muSh. Most CubanS wipe
on the table cloth, though some families
have introduced the modern American
napkin. Very many Cubans live of OF
roots, but we rarely have any. After
meals, comes cup OF coffee, then the
men smoke. When you get up to 60
they say, "good appetite to YOU" Some
times this Cuban diet makes foreigners
sick, but like it.

Most of the other time is taken up in

A hailstorm that beats all records is re-
ported from Uvalde and La Sale counties,
Texas, last Monday. Some of the hail
stones weighed as much as ten pounds,
many of them of six and seven pounds,
and measured from ten to seventeen in
ches in circumference. Eight men were
killed by being struck by the hail, and
thousands of cattle were destroyed. The
money loss is large, as many houses were
bombarded until they were wrecked.

interesting Letters From Cuba.

We are permitted to make the following
extracts from interesting letters from Ha-
vana. Cuba, by s. B. NJ Ghiselin, who
has been in Havana for some months.
The first letter refers to Easter services
in that city, and he says:
This is Easter Monday For the last
week Easter has been deliberately OBJ
served here by Catholic and Protestant
churches. Since the natives here have
always been accustomed to much-eb-
served Easter, the Protestants take the
view that it is a good thing. So Presby-
terianS, EpiscopalianS, MethodiSts and all
have special services. On Thursday and
Friday went to part of the services at
the Catholic Cathedral here. This is a
handsome building, occupying block
and built on the Gothic pattern OF St.
Patrick's, New York. In the front OF the
church is dome and in the rear OF this
a recess. The walls OF both are pictured
with angels, spirits. and clouds. In the
large recess on a pedestal are six huge
silver candlesticks, in the midst OF which
is a silver cross and silver mold OF Christ
crucified. There were eight or ten priests
dressed in robes of silver and gold and
spotted over with precious stones, very
heavy, taking part in the service. In the
early days OF the New World, when Mex
leo and most of the West Indies were
sacked by the SpaniardS, Cuba was the
only place omitted. Very possibly these
gorgeous robes, worn by priests and
arch-priests of an age when gold in the
West Indies was measured by the bars,
by some lucky chane have been preserved.
Helping these priests was squad OF
twenty or thirty diScipuli, who hope to be
priests some day. During most OF the
service two or three of these were swing
ing silver censorS continually burning
incense. filling the front of the cathedral
with perfumed smoke. On Thursday,
with much ceremony Christ was put in
Jail. Friday, Christ nailed to the cross
was held by priest at the altar of the
church and everybody would come up
and kiss his feet, each person dropping
money in the basket first. On these days
the service was all in Latin chants, con-
ssting of mournful belches, crosses, ges-
lures and poses by the priests. One
priest is allowed to read the Bible during
this service, but not aloud, only to HIM
self.

WE do not expect TO see any reform
as long as the Senate and House are con-
trolled by the millionaires who now DOM

enough to believe that in due time the peo-
pie will reject these unfaithful servants
who have no regard for the general vel
fare.

Lately I've been borrowing a friends
wheel and taking some long rides in the
country around Havana. Last Tuesday
rode about IS kilometers to little town
OF about $500, San Jose. There are fine
roads through many parts of Cuba that
beat even the Shepherd Grade. They
were mostly built by the United States,
though Cuba is continuing to construct
them. The road to San Jose leads through
a slightly billy country, and almost all the
way, without intermssion for miles and
miles, umbrella trees grow on both sides,
making a beautiful shady avenue even in
midday, when the sun is at its best.
Looking out from this Swallowed road are
hills and valleys covered with palms,
palms, palms, billions of palms, some
date, some royal palms. reckon there
are as many palms in Cuba as there are
trees in Virginia. passed banana and
orange groves, cocoanut trees and pine
apples in abundance. Much sugar-cane
is raised around here, though this isn't
the season for it.
The farm houses are called bohios.
They look like the frame OF good-sized
kite, with palm leaves for roof and uSu-
ally wooden sides. The possessions o.
a small farmer are usually dog, cat,
goat or two, few chickens, an OK and
sometimes parrot The large planta-
tons are more modern. On the way tc
San Jose are many small villages. In
each is a rural guard station. In some
houses saw women plating straw hats
