Great Reduction in the Number of Rations Required. ——_+—_—_—. WOMEN WORKERS ————— (Copyright, 1900, by J. D. Whelpley.) Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HAVANA, March 10, 1900. The story of the relief work accom- plished by the Americans for the people of Havana and the surrounding country is a reflex of the general effect of the American occupation of Cuba in its physical aspects. No one who needed it has been refused feod from the day the Americans entered Havana. The cost of this relief during the first month was about $50,000. During the month of January, 1900—-one year later—it cost but $3,500, including the cost of admin- istration. Food has been distributed in the form of rations. A single ration weighs about one pound’and a half, and costs the government ten cents. It is composed of bacon, cornmeal, sugar and rice, to which is added, in case of illness, a Mttle inilk. The work has all been done under the supervision of the American military authorities, but has been carried on by M. R. Suarez, an Americanized Cuban, who Unites to a marked degree a love of his own people and a practical conception of their needs and deficiencies. The present per- centage of pauperism in Havana is less than in many of the citles of the old world, and possibly there are fewer cases of real destitution, relative needs con- sidered, than there are in some of the cities of the United States. Havana has a popu- lation of about 225,000, and- there t ast 30,000 more in the suburbs who been included in the population of the cit in matters of charity. coat he revolution, which began in 1895, tn- nugurated a trying period for those who lived from hand to mouth, for a_ great many of the supporting members of these families left for the field. ‘The , with its violence and long train of horrors, shook the whole community to its very founda- tion.

By September only & few men, who were either too old to work or who were sick and had families to support, remained on the destitute list. Women who were found to be working were dropped from the Hst, but there still remained a number of destitute widows, young women, girls and boys. Rations were further cut down to about charitable institutions and a: cluded. Since October, when this depart- ment began the purchase of rations from funds appropriated for that purpose, to De- cember 31, 1899, the expense of the depart- ment has been about. $6,000. At (he closing of the relief stations in December the list of destitute showed 328 male adults. old, sick or unemployed; 2,226 female adults and 3,429 orphan children, of both sexes, aged from one to twelve years. The Service Reorganized. To counteract the tendency among the in- digents to pauperization, which was becom- ing developed owing to the length of time they had been wholly dependent upon gov- nment support, and to oblige them to seek some means of self-support, this de- partment, on January 1, 1900, determined to reorganize the service in such a manner that only the really deserving cases should be relieved. The work is now carried on in this way: After a thorough investigation is made of each case, only the extremely destitute ones are attended to, and all pos- sibility of misplaced charity carefully avoided. By this means the expense of the department has been very materially de- creased, amounting at present to about $3,500 per month, all items included. The question now being considered is the disposition of the able-bodied destitute and the widows and orphans, and permanent re- lief for the old and infirm, and that class of poor, weak creatures who are always de- pendent upon the public. Orphan girls are partially provided for by existing asylums, and another largo institution is soon to be opened. As yet no adequate provision has been made for orphan boys, but it is under- stood that a project for a school of ample capacity, similar to that to be onened for girls, is being considered. Such an institu- tion would be very much in order, as would also the establishment of an almshouse suitable for the needs of the chronic pau- rs. i There still remains a fair percentage of destitute families belonging to the better class, who feel their situation keenly, and who have been forced to accept charity af- ter the most trying experiences. In this class are found women of refinement and education, who, though having accomplish- ments, lack the means and opportunity of using them to advantage. There are oth- ers, too, able-bodied and skilled in various domestic arts, as sewing, embroidering, cigarette maffing, etc. These women, on account of the scarcity of work, are unable to earn a subsistence ard consequently find the struggle beyond their resources. As the supply of this class of labor at present greatly exceeds the demand, they will have .to drift along somehow for a time until the conditions of the country so adjust them- selves as to offer a more profitable field for their labor.

Her mind was fed on the high thoughts of the poets. For this reason the children of these Greek mothers furnished models of physical beauty which have ever since put the world to shame. The time that*most can be done for the baby is before its birth. With every stitch the mother puts into the dainty wardrobe she pre- pares, there should go some happy loving thought. With every meal eaten, with every household duty easily accomplished, with each night’s refreshing sleep, there should come the thought, “All this counts for baby’s wellbeing.” But how can all this be misery of mind and body? It is impossible. The first thing a mother should do for her baby is to establish her own health. If she doesn’t she will bear “a child of spleen to be a possible for the woman who is in daily thwart disnatured to torment her.” The baby’s wails will be but the echo of her own; the baby’s face will reflect the anguish lined in her own features, Mothers who have used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription during the pre-natal period testify to its wonderful health-giving qualities ; to the cheerful mind and healthy body with which the mother comes to the It does wonder- day of travail, and of the almost painless birth hour. ful things.

Black- er, of 629 Catherine St., Syracuse, N. Y., writes: “Yonr medicines have done wonders for me. For years my health was very poor; I had four miscarriages, but since taking Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription and ‘Golden Medical Dis- covery’ I have much better health, and now I have a fine, healthy baby.” “I suffered fifteen years with female weak- mess and nervousness,” writes Mrs. Vincent Bo- hall, of Franklin, John- son Co., Indiana. “One year ago I began taking your ‘Favorite Prescrip- tion’ and ‘Golden Med- ical Discovery.’ I took AAS aN me ANAN: Rahal . i} AN Minera an \ si Wy ROIS : Vee ink ae Wis SAS KY RHEE aN my life to Dr. Pierce.” : VALS " Mrs. Carrie B.

It does time and again what the local practitioner has failed to do, and what in many cases he declares cannot be done—cures womanly disease of long standing, and cures them perfectly and permanently.

What many a woman wants above all else is the opportunity to tell her story to a physician with whom science and sympathy walk ion in hand. he shrinks from telling her story to the local practitioner and undergoing the unpleasant questionings, the indelicate examinations and the obnoxious local treatments, considered necessary by many physi- cians. She hesitates before accepting the offer of “free medical advice” made by men or women who do not claim to be physicians, and, there- fore, at the best can only give second-hand advice, which could not take into consideration the variations of womanly temperament and charac- ter. She wants help—reai help. She wants to lean on the strong, manly arm of some accredited physician whose reputation is vouched for, alike by his long experience and the celebrity of his cures. What all women want many women have found, as the following let- ter shows: “I would like to ex- Press my gratitude to “ie for the benefits I ave received from your medicine, ‘ Favorite Pre- scription,’” writes Mrs. Cc. N. Anderson, of Rockbridge Baths, Rock- bridge Co., Va. "It is a God-send to weak and sickly women, restoring good health without sub- jecting their weak nerves to the shock of an ex- amination, “I was all run-down in health from Novem- ber until March—could not work but a short while without resting. Was so restless at times that I could not even write; had a very poor appetite, and what I ate did not seem to do much good. I decided to write to Dr. Pierce and state my case, and am thankful that I did, for in due time I received a favorable reply as to what kind of medicine to take. I sent and got it and commenced tak- ing the ‘Favorite Pre- scription’ and ‘ Pellets.’ Took six bottles of ‘Fa- vorite Prescription,’ one of ‘Golden Medical Dis- covery,’ and one vial of ‘Pellets.’ IT can now work as well as I could before I was taken sick. I think Doctor Pierce’s medicine the best in the world for sick and nery- ous women. May God bless you in your good work.” Women suffering from disease in chronic form are in- vited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter jree. All correspondence strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. In the past thirty years and over, assisted by his staff of nearly a score of skilled physicians, Dr. Pierce has treated and cured more than half a million women. There is no similar offer of free medical advice which has behind it a physigian of the national repute of Dr. Pierce, with a staff of nearly a score of trained mtedical assistants, each man a specialist in some one or more of the diseases peculiar to women. Buy your medicine as you buy your flour—on its record. No dealer can sell a housekeeper an untried flour in substitution for one which she has tried and proven, The dealer says: “This is just as good.” She says: “THanks. I'll want something better before I change.” Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the standard medicine of the world for women. When a dealer offers a substitute as “just as good,” tell him you are not making experiments. You want either “Favorite Prescription,” the remedy with a record or something better, with the proof behind the claim. “ There’s nothing “just as good ” as the “ Pre- scription.” There can’t be anything bette woman needs fs found in Dr. Pierce’s Common Or. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y~ would undoubtedly help the situation. The field for women workers has heretofore been quite limited in Cuba, for they have not been trained to work ‘thelr own way through the world, and under th? present unfavorable circumstances adversity falls heavily upon them. They lack the courage and spirit to cope with such hardships, and it will be some time before they can be brought to realize their position and gain sufficient confidence in themselves to go before the world to earn a livelihood. But the education and improvement which will naturally “follow the new condition. of things, together with the stern necessity which exists, will be the real factor in working out this problem of ameliorating‘ the condition of this very large class of wo- men now dependent upon their own exer- tions for a living. If the men realiz> in time that agriculture offers them the only-really profitable field for labor, and decide to go into the country, leaving the women to take their places in the city, a much bett2r condition of affairs will prevail. m6?

The announcement that the famous and erlous circles of stones on Salisbury Plain, England, known as “Stonehenge,” have been offered for sale, gave a new im- pulse to the interest which these remains of an earlier time have always excited. It was feared at first that the property would be purchased and, perhaps, carricd away and erected on alien soil. The price named for Stonehenge and for about 1,300 acres of land adjoining was $625,000, and up to the present time no purchaser has been found, but it is hoped that the British government will see their way clear to buy this remarkable archaeological monument, or at least some patriotic purchaser will buy it and guard it as it deserves. The English Illustrated Magazine recent- ly had an illustrated article dealing with the subject with photographs taken from new points of view, and from this we glean our facts. Like all standing stones, Stone- henge {s, of course, a mystery, and all solu- tons of this eternal riddie must at best be guesses. The name fs a corruption of the Saxon Stan-hengist, the uplifted or hanging stones; and this has, no doubt, given rise to the legend of enlargement and altera- tion by the British king Ambrosius, aided by Merlin, during the period of Hengist. Although absolute truth is impossible, the views of antiquaries concerning the origin of Stonehenge are worth considering, Some attribute the circles to the Phoenicians, or at least to Phoenician influence, and con- nect them with Baal worship; others favor the familiar theory of Celtic or Druidical origin. The remains have also been ascribed to the Danes and Romans. The opinions as to its age are legion, some holding that the circles must have been formed in the cen- tury before the Christian era, others placing them as late as 500 A. D. The old puzzle as to the mechanical power employed is here, of course, particularly insfstent on ac- count of the® ponderous crosspieces’ of the trilithons. It is safe to conclude that the stones of the inner circle and fnner oval have been*brought from a distance, and are of earlier origin than the others. Among more recent theories as to the origin of Stonehenge is that of Sir John Lubbock, who inclines to the opinion that the circles were erected during the bronze age in Brit- ain. -It- fs, however,- not improbable that various portions: of the monument should be assigned to various dates. The main features of Stonehenge are a “Via Sacra,” or “Holy Way,” two concen- tric circles of upright stones, two elliptical ‘groups of stones, known as thi Iktle, a embankment, e great and end at a con- siderable distance from these an isolated monolith, upon which tradition has be- stowed the familiar name of the “Friar’: Heel.” The “Via Sacra” is an avenue 1,782 feet long and has the appearance merely of a long earthen embankment of inconsider- able elevation. At one time it was at least fifieen feet high, and was defended by an intrenchment. The entire circuit of this mound measures 1,000 feet. Proceeding in- ward from the circular mound for a dis- tance of 120 feet, the visitor reaches the outer circle of the group. This at one time consisted of thirty upright stenes, three and a haif feet apart, rising to the height of sixteen feet, coupled by horizontal imposts so as to form trilithons. A rude mortis and tenon arrangement held them together. Of this circle there remain now only. six- teen uprights -and six cross pieces. Nine feet within the outer circle are the re- mains of the sacred ring, containing new only seven upright monoliths. Within the second circle again is the remnant of what kad been the mest magnificent portion of Stonehenge, the first ellipse. Of these orii inal five or seven trilithons there rem only two and two single uprights: these, however, reaching at their utmost the height of twenty-one feet, and nowhere less than sixteen feet—sixteen feet also being the length of the imposts. These are suf- ficient to show the ancient grandeur of the first ellipse. The second was originally composed of nineteen uprights, of which only six remain. Within these is the so- called altar stone, a flat rock fifteen feet long. The Friar’s Hee} stands isolated at a Cistance of 120 feet from the circular em- bankment, and 240 feet from the innermost stone circle, the embankment being thus exactly midway between the Friar's Heel and the first circle. It is a huge irregular block sixteen feet high. and is in a lean- ing position. Those who favor the Phoeni- cian theory find in this monolith an astro- nomical significance and regard “it as the gnomon or pointer of the rising of the sum- mer sun: Whatever may have heen its uses, Stonehenge remains for us 2 most fascinating riddle. eg Plaids, Checks and Tartans.
