CUBA SUGAR ESTATES

to Iks slaves.
Coffee plantations, though to beau
tiful, have not Increased lit numbers
ot late years; In fact, many of them
hnve chunked into sugar estates, which
ore more profitable, and tender the
owner Bociully more Important. The
owner usually resides in Havana,
where his fumily may enjoy the pleas
ures of cultivated society and have the
luxuries of a city; he therefore em
ploys a sort of middleman, called n
major-domo, to manage his estate.
The owner wants all the money he car.
get to maintain his establishment in
Havana, and the major-domo seeks to
increase his percentage, and thus the
poor slaves are ground to the dust,
and at times the cruelties practiced
are barbarous. The mnyorals are
usually Canary islanders, a hot-tempered
and cruel race, and, being with
out the restraint of the presence ot
the owner, are vindictively oppressive,
and in their inhuman punishments
often take life. The horrors which
have been perpetrated In Cuba by the
lash would disgrace barbarians.
One striking fact attesting the hard
ships of slave life on a sugar estate is
that children are very rarely seer,
there. Slave men in their vigor are
more profitable, and hence in a large
force of several hundred men only a
few women are allowed. The labors
and hardships which these 'women en
dure tend to prevent increase, and
the few children born usuclly die in
infancy from neglect. There is no
care taken to prevent this result, as
they say it is cheaper to supply the
losses on the plantations by new im
portations than by the rearing of
children. The climate, fortunately,
is so mild that the slaves med but
little clothing, and a wide palm hat
and a cloth about the lions are their
costume in their fields, the sun seem
ing to. have but little effect upon their
black skins.
Every week there is a ration day,
on which they are drawn up in long
lines, and a few pounds of black-looking
beef brought from Buenos Ayres
are thrown at the feet of each, which
at eight each cooks to suit himself.
In edei-.ion, a coarse meal or small
hominy (bran and all) is boiled, and put
in a trough, from which they eat it
every morning with a spoon, a paddle,
or their hands, as they choose.
The Africans brought into Cuba are
generally from the coast of Mozam
bique, and are called Locoomees and
Caravalees. They are large, stout
men, of dogged will, and at times are
very obstinate.
All these creatures believe implicit
ly in the transmigration of souls, and
that if they commit suicide they go im
mediately back to Africa. To check
this evil, when a suicide occurs, the
mayoral makes each of the slaves
bring a bundle of wood and build a
funeral pyre, on whioh the body is
burned. The ashes are then scattered
in the air by the survivors, in whose
opinion the dead negro's soul is thus
prevented from returning to Africa.
In scattering the ashes they sigh au
dibly, "Aha! Aha!" as if expressing
grief that the soul of their companion
can no longer go home.
The appearance of the sugar estates
is the very opposite of the beautiful
coffee plantations. Wide fields of ir,o
jiotonons green stretch themselves
to the horizon , on every side, while
here and there the royal palm lifts its
tufted head above the verdant level.
The may oral's houEe, the sugar works,
and the dingy barracoons for the
(laves are the only objects to break
the monotony of the desolate scene.
When first planted, the cane is laid
'lengthwise in trenches, or furrows,
about five ot six feet apart, and then
covered. From esich eye (there is an
eye to each soft joint) a shoot s-prinps
up, and sends out others, forming n
bunch of canes; and thus the fields
are covered witb the most luxuriant
green.
Every year the crop is cut at the
ground, and the next season another
crop springs up from the roots, which
are called vatona. These vatons will
yield crops in this way for Bevernl
years, the length of time depending
on the mildness of the climate. In
Louisiana only three or four crops
are gathered from one planting,.whi!c
in the tropics 18 or 20 are thus ob
tained. The grinding of the cane bp
gins about the last of October, end
continues until the beginning of the
rainy season, a period cf nearly ?ix
months. This Is the time of greatest
labor on the estate; and, without in
termission of Sundays or holidays,
with but. few exceptions, the slaves
work incessantly, and men and teams
are worn out before work is over. The
slaves are given a few trifling presents .
and are allowed some extra privileges
to encourage them in undergoing t It i
Increased labor. Jonathan S. Jenkins,

A Pitcher Is Not a Bottle.
Native wine is so cheap in Ban Fran
cisco that many restaurant-keepers
lerve it with meals in lieu of tea or
soffee, if their patron! prefer It. The
clause in the war tax requiring a
itamp to be affixed to each bottle of
wine disturbed them seriously for
awhile, until the plan was hit upon of
serving it In pitchers instead. As the
internal revenue department has ruled
that a pitcher is not a bottle, these
caterers get off free of the tax, '

Visitors at the world's fnlr "in. 1893
will recall the Indian exhibit or en
campment on the shore of the smith
pond. One of the teuls or wigwams
was occupied by an athletic and line
looking, but somewhat taciturn, speci
men of young Indian manhood as his
particular home, and while it was open
at all proper times for the inspection of
visitors, he resented any approach to Im
pertinent curiosity, say Youth's Com
panion, A bevy ot young women dropped into
his tent one day before his usual hour
for opening it, aud found him svwing a
rent in a blanket,
"See how he blushes!" exclaimed one
of the visitors. "We have caught him
doing squaw's work."
"Why, that's his natural color," gig
gled another, "lie always blushes." .
"Yes, young ladies," snld the Indian,
in perfectly good English, "he blushes
far some of the civilised and enlightened
white Americans of the luueteemh cen
tury." The visitors joined him In blushing
and shortly afterward weut out with
out further remarks.
VIA PNEUMATIC TUBE.
The Way Dinners Mav Do Served In
the Near Future If We flo
Dealre It.
An inventor has worked out a scheme
by which a restaurant coutiar..y, or a
municipal kitchen like that at Grenoble,
France, could supply any number of
patrons with hot dinners via pneumatic
tube, and do away at the same time
with dish washing in thehome,ays tha
Philadelphia Times.
The idea is to lay a pneumatic sub
way from the manufacturing kitchen
or restaurant, with branches to the
dining-rooms of patrons. At the proper
points valves worked by electricity
from the restaurant shut off the tube
ahead and divert the vessels trariing
in the tube to the house for whic'h they
were intended.
The various edibles, including soups,
dessert, etc., are to be inclosed in air
tight metal balls, enameled in different
and pleasing colors. These balls will
have tops that unscrew, and each pa
tron will be provided with a proper lool
to unscrew his dinner. lie will then set
the lids to one side, place the pretty
circular dishes made of' the lower
halves in wire or other stands on his
dining-room table', and proceed to dine.
After each meal he will screw the
covers on again, drop the balls, with all
refuse, back into a return pneumatic
tube, and light his cigar in peace, with
no worry about dish washiug. and noth
ing else to do but pay the bills.
SUPERSTITION OF SAILORS
Row It Wm ManlfMted by British
-Tmra at the Albion's
Laaachlaa. -
It has been said that, next to the
savages and the infidels, sailors are the
most superstitious-portion of humani
ty. A few weeks ago, writes a Loudon
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
when the new British warship Albion
was launched, the bottle of rosewater
not of champagne, remember with
which the duchess of York was to
christen England's proudest vessel,
failed at the critical moment to break
against the ship's bows. Immediately
there was no end of ominous talk
among the sailors about this abortive
attempt at baptism. Mr. Ivey, the
mayor of the place of launching, in
commenting upon thiB fact, observed:
"I have been a sailor myself, and I
know what sailors are. There are
plenty of them who wouldrathor have
three months of bard labor than serve
on board that ship. If anything hap
pens to her, they are sure to say at
once that it was because she was not
christened, and, In a way, it is quite
true that accidents do follow evil
omens. Suppose there is a storm. It
is a critical time, and there is a super
stitious man at the wheel. He needs
all his nerve and coolness, but just at
the critical time he remembers the bad
omen. 'Ah,' says he to himself, 'that
bottle didn't break. Something is
sure to happen.' He loses his balance
and something does happen. It is in
that sort of way that these 'unlucky'
incidents do really bring ill-luck."
"In selecting bridesmaids," Bald she
of the emerald and diamond ring to the
New York Commercial Adver-jser
writer, "if is not beauty that countB
bo much as style and carriage. Most
biides take a great deal of pride in
(heir bridesmaids' costumes and want
them to show to the best advantuge.
It is very important that a brides-
maid should walk well. The wedding j
marches are more suited to grand opera
at aces than church aisles, and while !
Elsa's or Lucia's attendants can walk j
m gruceiuuy 10 sucn music, me muni
graceful of girls is apt to sway and fal-aj
tor trying to keep time nnd step with
the same strains. I've watched bridal ,
processions and I've Been radiantly
pretty girls lose all effect of their good
looks by a hobbling walk. A brides-
maid should glide, not limp or hop. .
The beauty of a faultless frock and the
stateliness of a picture hat vanish when
the wearer is awkward and obviously
ill at ease. The bride herself is helped
by her long train, her drooping head
dnd the leaning on her father's arm be
fore and on her husband's after the cer
emony, but the bridesmaid wears a
short gown, carries her head erect,
walks up and down beside another
girl, and so has her own grade alone
to depend upon. A girl who walk Well,
whose head is well-poised on her shoul
ders and whose hair arranges well
makes a good appearance as a brides
maid, and well, all mine are like that."
GREAT DIPPER'S 1SV NAME.
A BrlsrM Little Ohleasa Girl tars th
isftli Us It to uoll Easier
Hen's .
There are a great number of West
Aide famuli's about 100,000 of t hem
that boost the possession of smart rllll
dreu. One of these possesses a four-year-old
girl who frequently makes her
parents laugh. On the evening of Easier
Sunday she was seated with tier father
in the window seut wheu he called her
attention to the Oreat Dipper in the
northern heaveus, says the Chicugo
Chronicle.
"I know all about that," cried little
Itcrnlce, clapping her hands. "Thai's
the dipper that the angels boll their
Bnster eggs lu."
On another occasion, being repri
manded by her mother for some trilling
fault, she deolared, by way of defense:
"Yes, and If the world was to crack
0eu, uiaiutua would say it was uiy
fault."
She is quite a singer, and her rrudl
tiou of popular songs often excites mer
riment. Thus:
Mary had s little lamb:
Policeman's white si snow.
Her idea of Sherman's march to the
sta is expressed thus: ,
Hurrah! hurrah! the flu that makes you
fresM.
The other day she said to her mother,
with an air indicative of reflection and
the mastering of a great Idea:
"Mamma, there are three Peters:
Tete over at the grocery store, my
papa aud the pumpkin-eater."
MILK MADE IN FRANCE.
The LsssuuU Fluid of Onmauu-re an
Important Item Amoajr
Bailor!.
Where would England be in case of
wsrT She gets her bread from America,
her butter from Denmark, her cheese
from Oanuda, eggs and other trifles
from the continent, and it has just
been discovered now gets much of her
milk supply from France.
Milk doesn't sound very warlike. "At
mild as milk" is a proverbial phrase.
Still it is necessary to the fit nutrition
of the future defenders of Britain, and
there is considerable complaint in Eng
land about becoming dependent for
such a prime necessity of baby life upon
a possible enemy at war.
London's egg supply has long come
from France, and a her coflin have
come from the same lively town it has
been the gruesome custom to import
Parisisn eggs in Parisian coffins of the
cheaper sort, using the latter tempo
rarily as' packing boxes.
The difficulty msy be met by aninler
national agreement declaring baby's
milk can contraband of war, so that the
cheerful whoop of the morning vender
could be uninterrupted by the roar of
combat.
A measure more in favor, however, is
the branding of every bottle of foreign
milk "made in France." How to man
age this isn't so easy to decide.
MOTHER DEAD MADE HUMOR.
HeartreadlBs- Sfiri for Mlmle Ha
dlnoH, Bat Ho Had to Inui
the Audleaco.
M. Iludinoff, French mimic, and Ger
ald Griflin, a comedian, were chatting
together in the dressing room of the
former at Keith's Union Square, says
the Dramatic Mirror. Iludinoff was in
particularly good spirits, as he had just
been handed a batch of mail from Eu
rope. "Seel See!" he exclaimed, slap
ping Griflin on the back, "Icttalrs! Let
ts irs from my home! How glad it
makes me to get them!"
He kissed one of the envelopes and
tore it open, laughing all the while. He
had only read a line or two when he
gasped and fell back with his hand upon
his heart, exclaiming, with tears In bis
eyes, which had only a moment before
glistened witb laughter: "Mon Dieu!
Mon Dieul My friend, my mother is
dead!"
A moment later the callboy an
nounced: "Rudinoff next!" The gush
ing tears had to be dried, the face had
to wear a masking smile, and in a few
seconds the big audience was laughing
merrily at the antics of a man whose
heart was burdened with the saddest
news that can come to any man, the
news of the death of a good mother.
TWO NARROW BUILDINGS.
Thar Are la Philadelphia aad Oat
Is a Foar-ltory Sfraetors Only
. Flv. Feet Wide. ,
Philadelphia may not be able to
boast the tallest buildings In the
world, but she surely has ber share ol
the narrowest, says a writer in the
Record. On the corner of Chestnut
and American streets is located a
building -that at first, glance would
seem to reflect seriously on the sanity
of the projector, but the multitude ol
prosperous tenants form n monument
to the financial shrewdness of the
owners, from outside to outside ol
the walls the structure is exactly five
feet wide. It Is 150 feet deep, and
there are four stories. Every room In
it is occupied by a shop of some kind
or by families, who seem to be con
tented with their lot. The walls are
over one foot thick, and this leaves
less than one yard for the Inside
space. Therefore, It is a physical im
possibility for the tenants to occupy
a full-sized bed. If they desire to sleep
it must be on a cot, and the sleeper ex
tends bis body from north to south.
Among the numerous Industries In
thiB contracted building are a tailor
shop, a restaurant, a printing office, a
sign painting establishment and n
cigar store. Another narrow build
ing is at Market and Let I tin streets. It
is fire stories high and six feet three
inches wide. In Its original state this
building was six feet wider than at
present, but a city Improvement out it
down to the present size.

COOLNESS OVER lE SLhG.
Planar to the Ilrrrae la the NlaBI, 11
cat Terror to a Friend's
llrarl.
There is a painful coolness between
two women who live In a big apartment
house uplowu. nnd an Ameriean dag is
at the bottom of It. The ling Is a huge
affair, made of bunting. The woman
who owns it says in extenuation that
her husband bought It, and that you
know how men are about buying things.
It came home Inte one evening last
week, and lis tmlilotic owner insisted
on flinging il to the breeze at once, thai
it might wave nil night. Aeeordingly
the pole was fixed to the window sill,
and Old lilury streamed out Into the
night, says the Washington Post.
The woman who occupies the apart
ment Immediately under ihe Window
from which the Hag hung is a very nerv
ous person. Thai night she was awak
ened by a soft, swishing sound against
the window. It was like the rutle of a
garment, and the nervous woman
thought first of burglars nnd secondly
of ghosts. She was afraid to get out of
bed to look out of the window, but she
huddled up with her back to the wall
and shivered the night away.
Again nnd again she was sure she
heard soft, ghostly finger at the win
dow. She could feel her l,i! 'nri:lng
white. She say she didn't tei a wink.
After 30 or 0 hours, she :..i '. nornlng
came, and she ventured lit il.e wii. dem
and raised the blind. There hung Ihe
Tag, Ripping against the window with
every buexe.
The nervous woman Is courageous by
daylight. She drew a table to the win
dow, climbed upon it, pulled the win
dow down from the top, and, reaching
out as far as she could, calmly proceed
ed to cut the end of the flag off. The
noman who owns it says that anybody
who would mutilate ber country's flag,
is a traitress, and the woman who did
it says that some people haven't Ihe
sense they ought to have been born
with, and, as I began by saying, there is
a marked coolness upatthatapsrtment
house.
DEEP SEA LIKE.
absaarlas Aalmals Have Beea Ad
Jasted lo Ihe Pressara of
Ike Water.
When marine life began to command
notice, the question of the depth to
which life could extend divided scien
tific thought into warring camps.
About 1840 it was generally believed
that the bathymctricnl limit was about
300 fathoms, and some strange ideas
were current as to the physical condi
tion of the water when under a pres
sure such as a. depth of two miles would
produce. It was thought that skele
tons of drowned men or even heavy
cannon and the "wedges of gold" that
popular imagination places in the sen,
floated at certain levels, beneath which
is water so compressed as to be impene
trable. In fact, says the North Ameri
can Ilevicw, water Is almost incompres
sible, and the weight of a cubic inch of
it at the depth of a mile is very Utile
mora than at the surface, but it was
assumed that no living being could
survive a pressure which at 1,000 fath
oms is about a ton to the square
Inch. We ourselves live under n res
sure of about IS pounds to the sjuurc
inch and arc unaware of it. Indeed,
we sometimes waken on a morning
when the burometer hasrlscn, say, half
an Inch during the night, and conse
quently find ourselves sustaining an
increased pressure of several tons, not
only without suffering, but with a pos
itive feeling of buoyancy nnd good spir
its. On the other hnnd, if the tremen
dous pressure under which we live be
relieved as by a surgical "cup," severe
Injury may follow, Aeronaut Buffer
from this cause and marine animals
dredged from great depth oficn reach
the surface in R most lamentable condi
tion, with eyes protruding and viscera
distended,

V will penetrate, and
VJll quiet its racking pain.

CALIFORNIA JACK RABBITS.

The jack rabbits of lonthern Cali
fornia are the biggest rabbits In exist
ence. They are as fleet a the wind,
and one will ill still on Its form or by
the roadside until yon have almost
grabbed It by Its mule-like ears, but be
fore you can dlose your fingers on H
there will be no rabbit there. If you
look, say 40 yards ahead, yon will see
what you think lsanotbcrrttbblt,bumped
up ip a fluffy bunch, waiting fur
you In the same way. But It won't
be another rabbit. It will be the some
one, it having covered all that dis
tance and settled down again before
you have hardly missed It from where
it sut first.
These big rabbits are as swift and
sudden as the (lens that swarm on them
as soon ns summer comes. The rabbits
are fat then, but these fleas are so
thick on them, and are so ravenous that
they actually reduce the long-eared
four-fooled jumper to a skeleton by
the time the fall rain sets In.. If It
wasn't for those regular fall rains the
fleas would be of great service to us
In destroying the rabbit pest, for the
rabbits could not withstand the
assaults of Ihelr insatiable parosltes
many days longer, But the rains are
certain, and they are fatal to the (lens.
The water kills the fleas, and the rab
bits pitch In again on our vineyards
and orchards and gruln with sharpened
appetites. Notwithstanding the thou
sands of'jnck rabbits we slaughter In
Ihe spring, enough escape lo keep the
supply big onoitglHo mnlielt necessary
for the slaiighier'of other thousands
the nexl spring. It Is simply Impos
sible to exterminate them, they are
such sure and persistent breeders. So
we may expect lo have the fun of jack
rabbit round-ups every year as long
as we raise fruit In Fresno county and
port adjacent,
