Havana contains many curiosities to one accustomed to an American city, I some of which are cow stables, jenny-aas stables and goat pens the herd being driven along the streets, every afternoon and the drover goes into the houses, leaving the herd to stand on the street while he solici's ordeis for milk and re- turns with vessels in which he milks the required amount of milk for the customer. In the case of janoy-«sses he alwnys has a colt which he uses as a sttrter, as he calls it. When he gets bis older for milk he lakes this colt to the animal he wishcii to milk, lets it start to auck uiit 1 the animal forces its milk down, then be pulls the colt away sud mitks. Some- times the man ^ with ows hiS the same order of business. When they have sold out of milk tliey return to their stables. Cow stables are not so common in Havana a& tliay were, as there is more milk brought in from I he country, and quantities of it it stored in sealed buules for cafe' and restaurant use. Much of it is still brought in in milk cans on horse- back. On leaving Havana on the Western railroad, the line ruiiH toward the south fur about thirty miles and tHen it turns more westward in order to run on the south, side of the mountains. *From Havaiia to about Sau Christobal the rock cumes to the surface, the grass growing over it when there is niin, and consider- able stock is kept, though there are potatoes where there is enough soil to grow Vegetables, tobacco, aud pine- apples, some sugar cine, and starch plant. When I drst went over the road the rock was very ciinspicuouf , the stock trying to pick the roots out of the crevises in the rock, but before I left there had been several sho>vers and the rock was hardly noticable. Artemisa ia one of the towns located on one of these fertile tracts, and has a large sugar factory, and several tobacco vsgas under cheesecloth, also piu^-apple plantations, etc. Wild fruit trees and palms grow all over, though showing evidences of the hurricane. On going westward the laud gets better and lubucco v»g4fi are seen almost evsrywhere except at Herradurs, where the Cubans sjiy the land is no good, but is owned by »n Ameiican Culonizatiou Company, aud several milei of it along the railroad is cluiirod atid planted in orange groves. Soinn of these louk healthy and boauliful, but tiie oldei wnes are dying, the company siiys ou account of the drouth sud bec.iuse the owners did not fertilize properly, bu; it appears to me as though the soil condi- tions are not favorable enough and the trees come to u certain stage of m.iturity and die. which become foaming torrents in a storm. Fields of sugar cane and starnh plan's c«n be seen through the country completely destroyed, and trtes are broken down and fruit destroyed, and are just recovering and beginning to bloom. I was told by two men who were working on the railroad runoing to the Keys at that time, that during the storm their bungalow aud provisions were washed away and the were tavcd by a construction build from spiles driven in the ground and had to stand in water up to their chests for about three days with- out food, till the wu'er went down.

GARDEN SEEDS OF ALL KINDS W- L Richardson & Son San Juan is located ou the height of liiid in the midst of a very Urge tobacco district, many of tlie vagas being irri- gated under cheese-cloth. On visiting the American Tobacco Co's. plantation I was shown among other things some of the nicest vegetables I ever saw, sweet potatoes, lettuce, celery, peppers, egg- plant, tomatoes, cabbage, the heads of which they said would weigh sixleea to seventeen pounds, aud many other things. The city showed very conspicuous evidences of the cyclone, some of the buildings lying as they were left, though most of them had l>een rebuilt aud the city looks much improved since I was there before. 1 was shown some views of it as it appeared after the cyclone and do not understund how so few people were killed or injured. The cyclone lasted about four days, during which time the official registra- tion gave one hundred aud six ineches of rain fall and a wind velocity of from eighty to ninety miles per hour, which blew from all the points of the compass. When the storm was over, much of the country was under water, drowning and carrying away much of the stock. For example, at Uerradura the company loet three mules. One was standing by the hotel, when the wind suddenly turned, blue the windows out on the side the mule was on, the glass cutting one ot the arteries aud it bled to death. Two others were swept away, one being found afterwaid where it had got tangletl in the top of a tree, got its head fast and when the water went down it got hung. The vaters disappear very quickly after a stotniot this kind however, and one can easily understand how it affect roads bridges etc, and why the natives build' roails, but lord all the creeks and rivers Kimberley Miss M. Plewes is on the sick list, also Mr. G. Hutchinson, but hope to see them soon. J.R.F^iwcrtt h;i>< uniuiis 2 inches above the ground, planted this spring,also lettuce h inch hi>!h. Ur. Johust'Mi of Lisiowell, our new public school principal, arrived on S>tur- day and took up his duies on Monday morning. Miss Del'a AI>ercrombie and Miss Elvie Bishop spent Easter holidays at their parental homes here, and returned to Mealord, whtce they aie attending high 3chc>ol. Mr. W. Hammond and his friend, Mr. Ferris, spent Easter holidays at t he home of the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hammond. Will and his friend are students at Mesford high school. A special school meeting (»a.s held iu the public school, Kimberly, April 17, to elect a trustee to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. W.Scott leaving the section. Mr. G. Conell and Mr. S. S. Burritt wero nominated and a poll-demanded. Mr.S.S. Burritt was declared elected. During the freshets this spring the creek became dammed up, the water finding its way down the road its Ur as the Methodist church, where it was de- flected across the church yard and on to Mr. G. H. Hutchinson's lot. In the morning when Mr. Uutchiti.son got up he found his cellai- flooded wiih water. Mr. Hutchinson threatened the township with legal proceedings. This would in- volve also two or three pit ale parties as well aa the charch bowd, and Mr. ; Hutchinson, we understand, will push the mivtter uo furlhur if the parties will fix things So that there can be no re- petition of the catastrophe We understand that Mr. Oliver Irwin has rented the temperance House property and will t;ike possession im- mediately. Mr. Irwin and his wife are highly thought of and it is believed this property will become popular with the travelling public under. Mrs. Irwin's catering.' Miss Helen Kurd, daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hurd of this pUce, will go to Japan in a few weeks as missioniry ap- pointee of the Methotlist Women's Mis- sionary Society. Miss Hurd will carry with her the well wishes of a large circle of warm friends here. She has recently been attending the Deaconess Training School, Toronto. The Kimberly F»rmers' Club met on April 24. The topic was Clover, its Value as a Fertilizer and its Feeding Value. Mr. R. Lawrence dealt with its value as a fertilizer, Mr. Harold Ellis its Feeding Value. Both Speaker* brought out some good points. The Pi-esidenr. Mr. A. E. Myles, was the next speaker. His subject. Breeding and Caie of the horse on the farm, was dealt with in a masterly manner, when we consider this was the first time any of the three young men spoke in public. This speaks well for the future of the Beaver Valley boys.
