Vatu DEL AGUACATE, CuBA, June 4, 1888. From an earnest study of the subject during this vistt to, aud in previous periods of travel in, Cuba, I delleve that one-balf of the entire south- ern siope of the island is cultivable as the finest coffee-iands of the world. If but one-third should beso, that would equal an area of nearly 8,000 square miles, or over five million acres Sup- posing the United States owned Cuba, after one Dillion dollars in valuable commerctal woods had been cleared and sold, note its value for coffee cul- ture. One acre of land will sustain an average growth of 400 coffee trees. A low estimate of the nual yield would be oue pound of marketable ce per tree, or 400 pounds ‘per acre. That ‘would equal a possible annual yteld of 1,000,000,000 Pounds, oF 500,000 tons—but 100,000 tons less than the annual production of coffee in all countries, and nearly three times the amount annually coi sumed im the United States!

(Coyrighted, 1888.) ‘There is one part of his luggage which no Amer- {can should leave in Europe, and that is bis nation- ality. It too often happens that that is just what he does leave, and there have been weak Amer- icans who have come home from Europe with but a slight knowledge of their own language after six months abroad. They are smitten with every- thing French, and are constantly interlarding their talk with convenient French phrases, are disturbed in their belief in women, and are not at all sure of their belief in anything. Some Amer- icans come home from England so heavily Britan- ized that wecan only call them Brittania ware. Others get a smattering of German, can listen to nothing but German music, smoke German pipes, and raise a German beard. ‘These are our green travelers, and thee are diseases lke the measles, whooping cough, and falling in love, they pass away with experience and years. Tho oll araveler, the. plcken man, of couutries knows that there ts nothing like home. Unc, to have any consideration in tnis world, must derive it from the place of his birth, To come home from Europe without one’s nationality, is to have lost consequence and tbe feeling of ‘citizenship. To come home discontented and uprooted 1s to be & Person Without @ country, that most wretched of Wwalfs, ‘To come home bringing ouly affectations and the poorer part of Europe is to be even worse— ad unworthy American. ‘THE ACCOMPLISHED TRAVELER. However, there isa happy medium. To come home loving one’s country better, and to add to its mewness all the old-world culture, all that one can bring of European art, refinement and the products of three thousand yéars of clvill- zation, 18 to be Ube good citizen, the accomplished traveler. Especially should an American avoid the apeing of English speech, that 1s an affectation eustly detected. ‘Try for the clear elocution, the strong and perfect pronunciation of words, the absence of slovenliness, and cultivate te’ care which marks an English pronunciation, but do not say tn church “Ob Laud, we do most hauzht- beseech ‘Thee’y’or affect tue “Chauley Crauley” sbomination.. It is a ‘provincial vulgarity in Englana, here it 1s a most_transparent humbug. Fhe apeing of foreign manners has afforded the foreign comedian food for the manufacture of many good comedies, and William Cowper said “How much a fool who hath been sent to Ro:e Exceeds a fool who only staid at home.” THE VOICES OF ENGLISH WOMEN are beautiful, low and sweet; they never talk through their noses, We might try to cultivate Such a voice, and we might without lossor aignity, study their chotce of words, which 1s always classic and capuvating. It would seem at frst as if all good words in ‘our old-fashioned English Speech were good words, and If well chosen oyght Yo be fashionable, but fasion changes in words a3 in everything else. Genteel, for instance, although derived from the ‘beautiful word gentle, is now tabooed. “A genteel thing,” 18 @ vulgar and feeble expression used only ata minstrel show, aud we no longer use Uke Old-fashioned combina Uous, such a3 a genteel person, a genteel party, “Beautiful laay,” “Mr. Brown end his fad," "an elegant lady,” &t., are all old-fashioned. “A perfect lady” 1s, iowever, proper; no one objects to so delicate a compliment. Ladylike 18 a very ap- Propiate combinition; we have grown. so fond of the Saxon word Wouan that lady has almost gone Out of the market, Still no one speaks of Mr. Brown, and his woman, they say Mr. and Mrs. Brown. ‘The use or the Word woman Is, however, to be encouraged, She tsa fine woman, a beautiful woman, a poor Woman, 1s better thin to put the Word lady 1n 1t8 place.’ Do not say “talented;” the purists Sy there Js uo suen word.” Say such & man js A man Of Laicnt, Or he is a clever mau; say Chat Joset Hofman has talent, donot call him 4 talented inusician. AMERICAN AND ENGLISH EPITHETS, The Americans are accused of a profusion of epithets of an illy-expressed approbation, No one shouid say of a picture that itis “pertectiy sweet,” Sweetness (in spite of Matthew Arnold) is a word meant to express a sensation of the palate. Still Jess should We Say of anything whic We enjoy at table, “E love it,” “I lovemelons,” “I love peaches,” I love grapes.* All these ure school-girl mls takes. “We love our friends and our country. Love 4s an emotion of the heart, but not a tickling of the pstate. We may lke and preter melons, but We do not love them. All the senses have their appropriate language. Sone of them can be equally expressed by the same words. ‘There are minor elegancies also to be observed in the words “taie” and “eat.” We do not say now “I take tea witis Mrs. Montgomery,” but “I drink tea.” Beau Brummel once rebuked a lady for saying: “Take a dish of tea,” He said: “Madame, a vulgar ‘man can take liberties, but a gentleman drinks tea.” On the other hand, we always say “take supper.” ‘The English, howe'ver, who are very particuler a3 to these minor rules are very coarse in some of their expressions. ‘They say such a person is a “Horrid, nasty, beastly creature.” Their iris Say to "their ‘rients “You nasty little pet,” and “You stupid old dar- ling” 1s a tamiliar term of endearinent. ‘They use many words which we need not adopt.” ‘The use o1 the word “nasty,” as @ term of endearment and praise, is @ very false fashion, When our English Irlends use thé word “nasty,” as descriving their own climate, we can quite wit them, but When they’ pervert it they outrage decency, Again, an English gentleman heard an American mamma gay to her little daughter, “My dear, do You feel ike a beersteak this morning?” He thought ita great blunder. Sne should hav: “would you like toeat.a beefsteak?” One can feel like a fool, one can feel miserably, but one can hardly feel'like a beefsteak. These mistakes are slignt affuirs, Dut a slovenly pronunctation is a very bad affair.’ It 13 a common fault in New England to drop the g at the end of words like sitting, lying, talking, and moving. ‘Indeed, one New hgland matron’ was once accused of intruding on the Poultry, and announced that “she did n’t take any comfort a layin’ or a settin’.” ADVICE IN SMALL MATTERS. One should speak all words “trippingly on the tongue.” Englisa people have a stronger dia- phragin than we have. They have to speak clearly to be heard through their own fogs, We have an incorrgibie habit of drawling, and a great fault In The use of the letter “r”—as, for instance, when a Woman should say, I think he ts vulgar-r-r-r, to Peoria-r-r-r, rather as if the words were spelied Yulgure, Peoriaur. It is difficult to convey this fauit by any spelling, but is what in England they call a burr, and it does make all speech decidedly disagreeable. The letter “r” should always be heid a3 a soft and agreeable sound. ‘There 18 also & use of the Word “on” which is decidedly Improper. No one should, say I aun golng on Basti” say “i ain going East.” Certain abbreviations are ipele- gant, 1s When one says in New York, “That shop is on’6th.” “That shop is in 6th avenue” would me more Sina oe 'he word “gentleman,” although one of the best in the language, should not be used too much. Do not say “the 1s a’ very flae gentleman,” or a hand- Some gentleman,” oF “a rich gentleman,” but oue can always say “a charming gentleman.” It isa dimeult tying tomake a law on thissubjéct,but we must trust to that fine critic, the ear, It 1s proper tosay “a good looxiug man,” a “strong man,” “an agreeable man,” if ole cad find such an one, but not “a rich géntleman;” the latter sounds badly, soxnehow, aituough tue reality inight_be pleasant ‘Sull less Should one Say “can the gentleman coine ino fix the gas?” The word vulgar was once thought to mean indecency. It now simply means WASHINGTON, D. C., run his own country 1s to despise him; to hear him ie in a pleasant manner 1s, as ite should ‘of the good character of his wife. That without saying. A traveled American can home much that will influence his country- men for their ood, he can tly and Pring home moci rs to the respect- Recan spend his money with good, taste; be Wil not talk of Jim Garfleld wo his servants, he will ‘say “The President,” and he will correct his own ‘draw! or his nasal pecullarity; he wil! have hissons and vers taught elocution, he will this English speech which we have from Shakespeare and Milton. We see all over the ‘World this connection between little and great things. Tt would be easy to show that, as Kiner- fon saya, “of many fine things in the Ww in the customs of nations, the etiquette courts, the constitution of governments, the origin 45 quite simple—iocal necessity.” ‘ow the Americans are gitb talkers. We have the gift of the gab; of eloquence we havo our share, perhaps too much. If in travelling we learn to think more and talk less, perhaps it would de just aswell. We are getting to observe the “simple local necessity” of a_more elegant and re- Spectful national speech. Every American who brings home fine statues, good pictures, old china, books, elegant furniture, ry, for art elevates a nauion. " There ts auch mer- caiitile use in beauty, but he ts not true to his fam~ ily unless he teaches thein to speak correctly and elegantly, unless he demands respect from his ser- jess he veaches ail near lim to treat bim t.

Unminyied joys here touo wnan befal!; ‘Who least, hath some; who most, hath never all. ROBERT SOUTHWELL, No joy so From the New York World. Last year quite a noted couple—names old and distinguished in New York and Virginta—were married out of doors tn June, and since then the fashion has greatly grown in popularity, so that half of the weddings this month will be solemnized under the blue sky and amidst the roses, At ‘these syivan marriages the bridesmaids wear short gowns of lace or net and the wide white Leg- horn hats either loaded with curling plumes or Wreathed with flowers. ‘They carry on their arms pretty white and gold baskets ted with floating ribbons and filled with natur .1 blossoms to mateh the flowers that wreathe their hats. Oae of the prettlest weddings of the season will be that now in process of planning for a well- known New York girl who 1s to be married next week. It 18 to be a Directory wedding and will take place on a wide snady lawn, the ceremony being performed in front of a treilis covered with June roses. ‘The bride wears a Directory dress of soft striped satin, embroidered With pearls, and with a lace veil that is an heir. loom in the family. Her slippers are the white Satin celles affutrs, bound over the instep with ribbons, such as our grandmothers Wore, and long, loose, winite gloves are Wrinkled up to the shoul der. "There are six bridestnaids alf in white and gold, their Directolre gowns of white China stik and crape being emoroidered in gold thread. Big Ducerolre vonnets with bunches of | wedding plumes and wide ribvons tied under thechin, make Uhese six fair matds so beautiful that it 1s fatally certain that tn no time at ail they will be six fair wives, ‘The big white and gold baskets, carried on thelr loosely-gloved arms, are to be running over with daisies and buttercups, and in the other hand they are to carry gold-inounted longnettes, the gift of the bride, and made in copy of the oid: fashioned quizzing glass of tne last century. It 1s, needless to Say that the amateur photographer Will be on hand and the lovely picture Will be per- Petuated In black and white, Which, after all, can give but afaint idea of the charm of its back- ground of June sky und sunshine and roses. ee eee ‘The Eighty-eights, From the London Globe. “The eighty-eights in English history not only bring great events, but more particularly they bring foreign invasions.” That, says Prof. Seley, in Good Words for June, 1s the conclusion which we must arrive at, if we were to play with chrono- logical coincidences. In 1588, the Spanish armada; in 1688, the landing of Dutch William. Of course the Spanish did not land, but they would have done so but for that favoring storm which blew them from our coasts, Ah, yes, says the sceptical reader, but how about 1783—wiiat bappened then? Well, nothing in paruicular; the professor con- fesse3 it. But in 1796 French troops salled for Ireland, in 1798 they landed there, and trom 1800 to 1805 our danger from invasion Was greater than it had been 1n the days either of the armada or of La Hogue. ‘These tacts seem to suggest that every hundred years or thereabouts, England becomes subject to catastrophe from without. We are now in the presence of another elghty- eight, and the professor asks whether another period of convulsions is due. We are now, he Suys, Very much 1n that position which Spain'oc- 1588. In that year, and in the next two glits, our islands Were threatened; in 1888 it is not Great Britain but Greater Britain which Is exposed to attack. We have, as Spain had, an empire which ts to ‘be found everywhere, and’ which is proportionately Mable to assault, Especially Mable ts it to the attentions of an enemy's fleet; while England ttself has reason to be anxious ‘about its 1ood supply from abroad, Such considerations are not precisely novel; Dut It is interesting to observe that Mr. Seeley,’ whose Professorsuip 15 not of politics, 18" as earnest as any politician could be in his exhortation to Eng. lishmen not to poob-pooh possible calamities, DUE look things full in the face and to be “ready in ume.” Don’t Mistake Brutality From Chambers’ Journal. ‘Those good folks who cry out so loudly for nat- turalness seem to be oblivious how largely the tric- tion of every-day life is avoided by well-considered artificiality. What is more perfect than the aruf- claulty which makes a well-bred pergon conceal his feelings from the persistent button-holer, or the even more polished and enviable artificiality which enables the welli-bred possessor of tact to shake off the attentions of the bore, whose con- duct, let it be remembered, is thoroughly natural? What ts more graceful or necessary than the arti. ficlality with which @ person of deilcate taste will conceal from a stranger or a dear triend the pain ‘that Is being endu or the grief that is felt? ‘Those folks who pride themselves on their nat- ‘uralness are, after all, only indulging taeir innave seltisnness: it costs a little troubie to be artifictal; it is ever SO Much easier to speak Out Whatever first enters our heads, Beshrew such naturalness! A little artificiality will contrive to rob of its suing and annoyance a criticism or a piece of advice which would otherwise fail utterly of its pun bad inanners, common, tnean, coarse, plebelan as- sociations, &. To be Vulgar is to be thadmissible Yo good soviety, Dut still so curious are the Incon- sistencles of society and language that a vulgar man may sit on a throne, aud a vulgar woman may by mistake be mistress of a fashionable Salon. ‘The use of the Word vulgar to mark one’s contempt of rudeness, coarseness, loud, preten- ‘ous or Intrusive manners, ls always proper. It 1s good word, and means a great deal as a'syhonym of all that is to be avolued; it is a very compre- hensive word. ‘The word goodbye is the best abbre- viation tn our language for leave-taking, nor can it be replaced by any other. Never say good arter- Roon, although guod evening is proper. Farewell ig stilted. Adieu is toreign; aw revoir 1s pretty put affected. The good old Anglo Saxon, God be With you, shortened Lo good-bye, is the best of all, , ART OF CONVERSATION. Old and middle-aged people talk of the decay in the art of conversation, and say that to talk well 1s one of the lost arts, No doubt tts 1s true all over the world. It is no longer the fashion to tell anecdotes to be amusing, and & person who sets up, to amuse the company 1s considered a prig. All this ts very unfortunate, and one regrets the ‘(ransition from tuat revoltiticnary period when men talked learnedly and wisely, aud that later day “before the War” when no man Was ashamed to try to talk is best, like Everett and Longtel. low, Webster, Prescott, George T. Davis, William Amory, and Horatio Seymour. When intellect and culture ruled instead of the present order’ ot things, when money and prosperity are our gods. But people must talk and will talk. To chat agreeably current events, W describe a novel or a /, to tell a short story of recent ex- ilk, if one pleases, of , love, Iniendsbip, or music, to avoid puns and long’ argu: ments, to be particular that t “I” 13 pot too frequently introduced, to avoid the delicate subjects of society, Lo strive to ait tals is possible of everyboay, and taste, possible to all. as the American habit ‘things and calli Spect for others spect as from servant ‘wo their lady i i ri i E i i ili Bie de Hi i : i B 3 : i , i i | | Bee fy i 4 Hy ! if it be any otuerthan to rufile the temper of the recipient. With a littie more artificiality imtro- duced into married life is 1t not evident that the sum of misery caused by “incompatibility of vemper” would be reduced? But no, We are told that we must be natural; and so husband and wife go their own Ways, regardless of each other's falling to conciliate which in any manner would demand @ call upon that artificialit) which is so universally decried ai clumsily practiced. Would it ‘not be far happier for both were they mutually to pre- tend to overk indeed not to notice, each other's troublesome failings? Would not thus a grain of acuintelality succeed in cnabling even chatacters otherwise utterly incompatible, to get on very sat. bya great number 6¢ excellent ‘people how inisor: by a great num! ex yw miser- abie Would be the World! A Reminder to Husbands and Wives, From Good Housekeeping. 1am minded to write a few lines on the little courtesies of life that some of us who are husbands and wives seem to have forgotten, or purposely put aside, since the days of our honeymoon. We clung to them tenaciously enough before—yes, we gloried in them.
