Fight just before dark, and on Friday morn
ing, seven days after leaving New'York, the
mountains of Jamaica lay before us. By tbe
middle of the morning we Were close by the
uorth side of tho island, but as Kingston,
our destination, is on the i outh side, we still
had to go around the eastern end of the
inland and about half way up tbe south side.
This sight of land, the promised land for '
most of us on board, brought out all the
finery again. Those rough looking fellows
in flannèl shirts and Scotch (raps disapijeured,
and in their places there camé out on deck
woiulcrs of starched linen and black coats,
eturiuarvels of summer bonnets and silk
<■> tresses. As we rati along the Jamaican
shore we had a’ fino chaîna) to see something
of the island, for we were not more than u
mile aw ay—and in that clear air and bright
sunshine a mile is nothing. There were
houses on shore—that was one of the first
things we noticed—some good, big and com
fortable looking houses, too, surrounded by
great' plantations of cocoanut trees, and iu
other places cane fields.
\
This peculiarity at onco distinguished
Jamaica from the other islands we had
passed. At Fortune Island we were favored
•vith the sight of one little house. In Cuba,

ing could be more desolate that* the eastern^
end of Cuba—ragged mountaÙM, bare rocks,,
and utter sblitude. When Columbus first
saw the island it eop Id not have beeu more
as nature made and left it, ut the east end,
than it is today. And this “eust end," as far
as its ruggedness and barrenness go, extends
half Way down the island nearly. We iu the
north are apt to think of Cuba as a vast gar
den sjiot, covered with cane fields and green
tobacco. But this is a mistaken notion. Tbe
cultivated land is a surprisingly small pro
portion of the surface, and every year it
grows smaller, if anything can “grow" small
er. The same cyclone that has hit all other
West India islands has not passed Cuba.
Away back in 1800 there were more than
2,000-coffee plantations in Cuba; now there
are—quien sa be?—probably less than 200, and
the others have gone to seed.

SEEN FROM T1IE BEA-
But the aspect of Jamaica is very different.
Seen from the sba, the eutire island seems to
be under cultivation. It has, indeed, many
high mountains, but the mountain land is
joine of the best on the island, producing
coffee that is second to none in quality or
price. Away up almost to the mountain tops
«re cultivated fields.'? Down by tbe shore ai e
some of the largest cocoasut grove* I have
ever seen, numbering their trees by thousands,
with vessels moored alongside waiting to
carry away the ripened nuts. And bananas?
Bananas growing everywhere, wherever a
»hoot van tx/flbt out ! The houses to tie seen
are generally large and low, as open as pos
sible to let in the breeze. Cane fields? Very
few, and therein lies the secret of Jamaica’s
keeping.herself afloat, while all the neighbor
ing islands are struggling with bankruptcy.
Instead of waiting in vain for sugar to puy
again, as they are doing, the Jamaica plant
ers plowed up their cane fields and went to
raising bananas and cocoanuts, and now de
rive the greater part of their incomes from
these articles of ready and profitable sale.
So a Jamaica gentleman aud fruitgrower on
the steamer told me, and Certainly this first
loqk at the island seems to confirm his state
ment, for there are bananas and cocoa»uts
growing everywhere.

forever.
BEAUTIFUL KINGSTON HARBOR.
This tongue of land, on which stands the
remains of Fort Royal, forms the beautiful
Kingston harbor, into which the Alvo slowly
steams at 1 o’clock on tbe seventh day out
from New York. Kingston lies before us,
ai»out twenty miles away, on the edge of an
al mart level plain. Behind it, perhaps ten
miles inland, the mountains begin to rise,
and continue up, up, till their peaks are lost
in the clouds. It is a beautiful sight under

the numl^er and size of,its forte.
Gradually we approach the city, and slowly
tbe pleasant voyage draws to a close. Kings
ton, a city of 46,000 inhabitants, is almost in
visible, hidden by its trees. The streets are
full of them, the yards, the parks—so it looks
from the water. There are ships in the
harbor, of course; a dozen steamers, perhaps,
and any number of sailing vessels. The Alvo
is drawn up to the Atlas line wharf, and we
arc lieset by an army of hotel runners, who
•lave all the cheerful characteristics of their
brethren in New York. But with them come

INDIA’S CHILD WIDOWS.

High Caste HLxlo* Chrlettea
Warnau Says of Her filatere—Betrotlted
la Their latency They Are Till Iteath
the filavee of Mea.
At All Souls’ church, the Pundita B&mabai,
i high caste Hindoo Christian woman, gave
tn interacting address concerning her work
iu behalf of the child widows of India. The
Pundita is a slender little woman with a low
musical voice. She has a remarkable com
mand of Euglish. She was attired iu the
dniple white vestments of her people. She
is endeavoring to raise sufficient money to
enable her to maintain a school in southern
India for the instruction of Hindoo wonsen.
Tbe picture that the Pundita drew of the
.'onditmn of the Hindoo woman seemed to
have a strange interest for the hundreds of
well dressed American women accustomed to
liberty of thought and action I The Hindoo
theory of creation, the speaker Explained,
placed the women as a procreative energy,
tbe results of which have been sorrow and
misery. 'Dhe man therefore is the master <
and is without blame. It is the duty of a
good mother to get her daughter under the
influence of a male at once, for thereby is
the female's only salvation and a hope for a
place iu heaven.
It is the custom, when
children are mere infants, to promise them
to youths for wives. When the girl is not
yet in her toe ns she is sent to the house of her
prospective mother-in-law, who educates her
with harsh measures and a stick, impressing
upon her her inferiority to the male. Only
men are allowed to study tbe philosophy of
salvation, and a good wife on dying centers
her thoughts on her husband, so that on her •
return to earth she may take the form of a
man and study the philosophy that brings
salvation.
WHEN TH« HUSBAND DIES.
When the husband dies he does not let his
thoughts revert to his wife other than in a
feeling of pity for her loss, lest he, on re
turning, take a step backward and assume
the shape of a woman. A woman who does
not find salvation through her husband will
be compelled, should she continue iu tbe
form of her sex, to be reincarnated 8,400,000
times. The domestic life of the Hindoo
woman is confined in four walls, and the
only opportunity she has of going outside is
to drav; water.
She rises and remains
standing when her husband enters the house
aud seats himself. The husband can avail
himself of tbe privilege of bathing himself
in thè sacred river, but she, because of her
domestic imprisonment, being debarred from
making the journey, can enjoy only the sx-
qu site pleasure of bathing his feet after he
has been swimming and then drink the
water. Tbe power of the husband is abso-
lute. He can doom his wifè to hell if he be-
in the mood, as he is endowed with the

It as a violation of orthodoxy.
“Missionary work cannot accomplish the
disenthrallment of these women,” said the
Pundita; “it must be done through educa
tion; So far as iry experience goes I think
that it is next to impossible for missionaries
to reach the orthodox people, as they are
called. There are some men who are at first
educated' in western ideas, especially the
Brahmas, who will allow « Christian mission
ary to visit the women of their household,
but most of theta do it because they want tbe
women to be a little educated, and since they
have no female teachers of their own they
are obliged to invite Christian women; but
I have known the men, while they allow a
Christian missionary to visit their wives, to
strictly command their wives not to accept
any religious ideas, and thus placed the poor
woman in the plight of king compelled to
oboV'ber husband, and atr the-name time read
her. Bible. If she is sometimes convinced,
she has no power to accept the Christian faith
publicly. This renders her situation doubly
miserable.
