is the parlor and oftentimes the
family auto is housed in it, the
family occupying the inner
rooms that surround the court
that is the yard of every Cuban
home, for all the houses are built
flush to the street. These inner
courts are most attractive being
full of palms and beautiful flow
ers and sometimes a splashing
fountain. The place where we
lived had been an old residence
and we ate our meals in the
court right beside the fountain.
Our seven o'clock dinner we al
ways partook beneath the stars
for the night comes early in the
tropies-there being no long
evenings as in this country.
Strange it seemed at first to sit
out there among the palms, and
what an appetite it gave to us
who had always eaten beneath
a roof made by hands.

a queer Old church we visited.
1t is away up on the mountain
side overlooking the city of Ma
tanazas and the bay. A magnifi-
cent view can be had Of the
country for miles around. We
strolled into this dim old church
and a curious place we found.
The people come to this church
to be healed of various ills, and
after the healing has taken
place, give things that are near
and dear to them as a sacrifice,
SO the walls are covered with
various things. The altar is made
of wonderful shells and corals
taken from the sea. 1t is
musty old place but there comes
peace to all who enter there.

came into the world, but each
country has its peculiar customs
and manners. We passed by to-
bacco plantations, saw pineap-
pies, bananas, oranges, grape
fruit and lemons al in their
prime.
The natives were cutting su-
gar cane, from the grandfather
down to the smallest member Of
the family, who could handle a
huge knife, they were all there
doing their share of the work.
The stalks are piled on wagons
something like our hay wagons)
and drawn by oxen to the sugar
mill. We stopped at a sugar MIL
half way between Havana and
Matanazas. A guide took us thru
and explained each step that was
taken to produce sugar from
the sugar cane, so when we left
we knew more about sugar than
we ever dreamed of before. The
unrefned sugar is put in bags
for shipment, it is brown in col
or and very coarse, and there
was a liberal supply placed be-
fore us to sample. It is sweeter
than the refined sugar. This su-
gar is shipped to the states to
be refined and the ship we came
home on had a cargo Of $4,000
sacks of it, and smelled like a
candy factory, much to the dis
tress of those inclined to be sea-
sick. Each of these sacks of SUI
gar weighed over $50 pounds so
you can see what a large amount
of it there was on board.
Matanazas.
After our visit at the sugar
mill, we journeyed on, toward
Matanazas. The chauffeur telling
us many things Of interest. All
of the little villages have octa-
gonal pavillions, that we were
told, were cock pits, and every
Sunday the natives gathered
from miles around to fight their
game cocks, after church is over.
We could see the city of Ma
tanazas long before we reached
it, it is situated on Matanazas
bay and is very picturesque
tucked among the hills. We
reached there about noon, and
our first thought was of some
thing to eat. The hotel was a
queer old place and queerer still
the things they gave us to eat.
One Of the party, an American
lady, refused to eat anything
boiled eggs, for she said,
"they must be clean." It is a
strange sight to see women 60
ing about their household du-
ties, with a hugh black cigar in
their month, but then every
body smokes down there, either
cigarettes or cigars. The people
in Matanazas are much more
primitive than they are in Ha-
