They Make the Brightest and Most In- teresting of Pets. From Forest and Stream. My special pet is the humming bird, and I never weary of feeding and fussing with that lovely little creature. I tame them every year, and my interest in them never flags. Last spring my wife and I were standing on the piazza and a pair of maie ruby- throats—the first arrivals—came hovering around our heads, chasing each other in seeming play, and then lighting side by side on a star jessamine vine, within a foot or two of our faces, without the slightest fear of us, which meant, of course, that they knew their ground, and when I brought out the little bottle that they al- ways feed from, one of them came direct'y to it as if he had fed from it ali his life. It's delightful to be remembered by the tiny creatures in this way, and nearly every season I have proof of their:wonder- ful memory. This season at least two or three of my old pets have- visited me, and all seem to be as tame on the previous year, but the early birds that are on the migratory move I cannot induce to stay. They nearly al! go further north to aet up housekeeping. I never expezt to keep cne for any length of time until the young birds appear in the early part of June. During the month of June this year I had two or three quite tame, but one in particular never saw me anywhere round the place but he would come hovering around me, end I sever failed to take his little bottle from my pocket and give nim a sip or two. I have discovered that it is best to give them but little at a time, as they are apt to over-feed themselves. I often sit on the plazza to read my paper, and when I have a tame bird I hold the hottle—with the bow attachment—so that he can sit and help himself without inter- fering with my reading; and this summer, es I was reading, I heard my pet, as I supposed, fly up and take his seat, and T paid no attention to’ him for some time. I then lgoked:up to see what he was doing, and to my surprise and deligat there sat an old full-plumaged mate bird—a friend of a x previons year.

TO MATANZAS CITY A TRIP Country Desolate, but Capabie of Quick Recuperation. SS CHANCES FOR CAPITAL a (Copyright, 1898, by Charles M. Pepper. From a Staff Correspondent. MATANZAS, November 5, ttf. Matanzas is awaiting its chance to xreet the new American era. There will be not ing boisterous tn its greeting. The town is yet under. the spell of the last three yea depression. It is too subdued to be vi cif- erous, but its welcome will be the one } "at comes from the depths of sorrow tu ‘ne harbinger of better times. “Don't go out to Matanzas now,” said one of its leading sugar planters. “Everything is so dead. Wait till we have time to re- cover.” But these dead Cuban towns have this advantage over their dead inhabitants, The towns may be quickened into a fresher snd stronger life. While their sleep seemed the sleep of death, ft was not so. And if one waited till all these places fully recovered the affairs in which the American people are most intensely interested would cease to be of moment to them. They want to know how tae process of industrial recu- peration is getting on, what’ opportunitics it offers for business, and how political r- construction is going forward. ‘These mat- ters have to be learned by going out into the country, though it may be like going through an abandoned graveyard. A Desolated Country. I have had many occasions to visit Ma- tanzas, and always in the shadow of war's ravages and starvation. Some day it will prove a pleasing experience to take the early morning train out of Havana and enjoy the sunrise flooding cultivated fields and green hillsides. That experience is distant one or two years. For the pres- ent the journey is good for meditation and is oppressive in its solitude. The land is yet bare of fresh vegetation and of peo- ple. The vines are beginning to creep over some of the fortinas or forts from whica the Spanish -soldiers have withdrawn, and to hide them in interlacing ivies as bohias or dwelling huts of the pacificoes and ruins of sugar mills and other buildings are hid- den. ‘The little church at Bainoa, with ics rampart of stones rising like a mask 19 conceal its front, has perhaps ears as deaf as the bricks in its walls. Otherwise it would surely have heard of peace, and the fortification would have crumbled aw with a little help from human hands. KF the first time in many journeys I saw no reconcentradoes drawn-up in line at the vell at Mocha, waiting their turn to dip a gourd full of wa’ But some poor creature was being Jowered to earth in the cemetery.

After Aguacate is left some distancé be- hind the rich, red loam of soil disappears, the sheer edges of the hills, which are cov- ered with manigua, and the land is poorer. So the absence of cultivated fields In this region is not to be taken as lack of recu- peration. I have been frequently warned by experts to remember that the country between Havana and Matanzas “poor land.” This may be true, but there are American capitalists who think enough of it to invest their capital. The understand- ing is that some of them are alr>ady mak- ing purchases. Whether they are or noi, Matanzas will open its gates wide to them. “We want Americans to come here and In- vest in business and in sugar lands,” said the young man who was looking up some matters for me. “And,” he added frankly, “we want them to come and spend money without waiting. We are all so poor since the insurrection and the blockade we have had no money to spend.” That is the com- mon and the truthful complaint everywhere in Cuba. The people have no money to spend, and the amounts which individual Americans leave are eagerly snatched up. One of the indirect benefits from the pres- ence of the American troops will be the money spent by them and in maintaining them. Matanzas will share this benefit be- cause a garrison will be stationed here. As to the general proposition of Ameri- cans investing money in Matanzas, I have no doubt that they will do it in time and in goodly amounts. Dead as the place now is, iife will come again to its moribund commerce. The advantages which made it the second port after Havana and, to my mind, the finest little city on the island have not been lost. The sugar lands which sur- round it have not lost their productiveness. They will have some cane to grind in Jan- uary and February, probably as much as they had last year. Next season they will produc2 double that amount, and then will soon reach the normal production. Vessels are coming to Matanzas to carry this prod- uct away as they did in former years. The rotten pliers and wharves are going to be rebuilt and improved, and it is already set- tled that this will be done by American cap- ftal. In a general way I had knowledge that European houses looked on the trade they once had with Matangas as certain to pass into American hands. This will come either through annexation or through reci- procity. The young man who had informed me on other points; when I questioned him on this, said: “Some of the Spanish mer- chants will try to Stay‘because they have s0 much money invested, but we all know that the United States%fs going to have the trade. And there ate‘so many chances here, if your business men would only see them. Such a few co relat houses do all the trading. Many mote deuld come and they would find room. Theytcould do much bet- ter here than in Hatvana;because they would not have the competition.” Opportunities for American Capital. These are matterg Which will bear further inquiry. The numbeg of vacant shops, stores and warehouses in Matanzas indi- cates that in working-back to its former prosperity room exists for a considerable number of firms. “1 97 Matanzas is clemm-—fGr Matanzas. The main streets are mot filled with garbage and refuse. The inhabitants who did not die during the concentration ar2 no longer in danger of starvation. They may not have.all they want to eat, but food is not lacking for them. This is the common tes- timony. The supplies landed from the Cemal and from the Red Cross ship were quite g#nerally distributed throughout this region. Some homeless wanderers still find shelter at night in the doorways and the plaza. 1 counted a dozen ofthem last even- ing, but in former times there w2re a hun- dred. Work is found-on-the sugar planta- ticns for. those;who are able to work. This number is not large, but it aids in renewing the plantations. When the American troops ccme and the Americans who havs money come, Matanzas will take an immediate stride forward. CHARLES M. PEPPER: apis ee It pays to read the want columns of The Star.

At the weddings of the lower classes the furniture is paredei arcund the town on carts, and in the evening the bride is brought home by torchlight, while little street Arabs dance alout to the sctnd of a fearful band. Their furcrals are very singular. They used to throw the body over their shoulders and take It te be buried. Now they are not allowed to do that. They put the body on a kind of stretcher and cover it with a piece of cloth. At the head of the corpse they fix a stick of wood. on which is put the fez of the deceased, if he isa man. Four Arabs earry this, and on the way any passer-by offers to help. for they say that the person who is dead prays for each one that carries him. A crewd follows, watling, shouting and making a frantic noise. The women wave their handkerchiefs, pull their hair and make a funny sound with the tongue. There are special women paid to do this, and often I have seen them laughing at the same time. The cemetery is not inclosed, and the tombs are made of stone, with a pole sticking up on one side.

They make up for it by feasting and riot- ing in the open air ail night. The longest lasts about thirty days, and it must be dreadful in the hot weather, when they cannot drink a drop of water all day long. The great Ramadan is kept to commemo- rate a day when Mohammed lost his camel. He prayed all day long to find it, and at sunset he d‘scovered that he was sitting on it! They do not know exactly which day of the month it was, so they fast thirty to forty days so as to hit the right one. The fast ends wren the moon is seen reflected in a certain well. The event is telegraphed all over, guns are fired and the great Bairam, or feast, sets in. ee PISTOL HELPED OUT. Enabled Four Queens to Beat Sharper’s Four Kings.

Powell had dealt the cards. I was standing behind him, looking on. It was a jack pot and the second man opened it. It got two boosts before it got to Powell, but he stayed. When it came to the draw I was thunderstruck to s Powell draw to a king and four-soot. I (thought he had made a mistake in his | hand, and was simply making the best of ja bad stay. AN of the boys took three except Dave Hollingsworth, and he took two. Powell, of course, took three. and you can shoot me for an Eskimo if he didn’t get three more kings. Everybody seemed to ‘hook,’ for there was some af liveliest betting around that table that I ever saw. The pace got too swift for them, however, and all dropped out except Powell and Hollingsworth. “Dave was from somewhere up in the Butte district—a quiet, inoffensive sort of a fcllow, but good grit and the best shot you ever saw with a revolver. “Those two kept hammering away at each other, and everybody was watching them without sayinga word. You could see from thelr faces, though, that they were kind of pitying Hollingsworth, for from past events they were confident Powell would gobble the dough. I never thought anything else, for I'd caught a flash of the four kings early in the engagement. “Finally, Powell showed up a stack of chips that just about covered everything Dave had in front of him. I guess there must have been $800 or $%) in the pile. Dave looked straight at Powell for some minutes, kind of trying to figure him out. I thought he was going to.weaken, und I could see Powell raking in the pot. “Finally, Dave drew a long breath, and, standing up, said: ‘I'm agoin’ to call that, Powell, but jest wait a minit er two so as I kin satisfy myself I ain't nervous.’ ““T'll watt on you,’ says Powell. “Dave picked up the five of spades that happened to be laying face up on the table, stepped over to the wall, about twelve feet away, and pinned the card up about on a level with his shoulder. Then he walked back to the table, drew a six-shooter, and before anybody realized what was going on he fired five shots at the card, clipping out one of the spots with each shot, clean and pretty as though you'd done it with a knife. He laid the gun down on the table with just the one load left in it, and said: “I guess I ain't very nervous. four queens.’ “Powell looked at him for a second and then, without giving himself uway a bit, he said, ‘That's good,’ and he shoved his four kinge into the deck. ‘owell left Dawson the next day, and I heard as I was coming back to the states in July that he was killed in a game at Skaguay.”” —_+e+___ The Effects of War.
