Cuban Honey.

Before the advent of the American,
beekeeping in Cuba was in a decidedly
primitive state. the hives being make
shift affairs and very often royal palm
trunks When the American and 9th
er foreign settlers began to come to
Cuba, modern appliances began to ap-
pear. and now the use of the modern
hive is well established with both
natives and foreigners There has
ensued better management of apiaries
and greater production of good
honey The processes of collecting
honey in Cuba differ in no essential
particulars from those In the United
States. The honey is generally brought
to the market In strained form, this
process being effected at the apiary.
The expectation OF honey and bees
wax from Cuba now constitutes an i'm
portant financial item. According to
the official statistics for 1909 there was
exported of honey total of 9,726.663
pounds The exports of beeswax
amounted TO l.62S,S5S ponuds.-Jour-

THE HOME AND
CIVIC IMPROVEMENT
BY THE OBSERVER.

This is the first of three articles to
be written upon civic Improvement as
it relates: First, to The Home; Sec
ond, to The City; and third, to The
County.l
Civic improvement" implies so
much and covers such vast territory
that it is hard to define its real breadth
and depth and heighth. 1t reaches out
and embraces every phase OF lciviliza-
ton, and has much to do with our
physical, moral and spiritual existence.
AS 1t relates to our homes, let us first
consider what an Unreasonable infiu-
ence the early home life has upon flu
ture happiness and usefulness. EXpe-
rience of past ages teaches us that
environment has much 70 do with the
development of every faculty of the
mind. Home life is the very beginning
OF education, and the recollections
that live longest and are most vivid
are of childhood's surroundings. How
important, then, that those surround
ings be such as to raise the mind to
the highest standards of usefulness.
When God gave our first parents the
Garden Of Eden He touched the deep

love of home. The memory of our
early home is ever sacred, and it de-
velops the very best that is in our
being. This was forcibly illustrated
few years ago when pioneer home
in a nearby city was to be remodeled
by the son of the builder. The son
had been reared in that home. He
stipulated that the sitting room and
the old fireplace must not be changed
in a single particular His wife re-
monstrated with him, saying that the
handmade ceiling, wainscotting and
floor could never be made to conform
to the modern new house into which
it was to be changed.
: Never mind" said he. This is the
room where mother corrected me; this
Is the room where mother used to
make my jackets; this is the room
where mother taught me to kneel
down and say my evening prayers. NO

that grew over that front window;
music was never SO charming as that
of my mothers lullaby in this room.

San Antonio, Texas, March 21.-The

While Uncle Sam is keeping a very
close patrol along the border, the dis
lance is so great that it is impossible
to prevent some of those who desire to
do so from getting into Mexico. And
when they go unarmed there is mol
ground on which they can be re-
