ot the war, General G »mez haga well
disciplined army of about 40,000 men
who are determined to hold out util
their efforts shill be crowned with vice
tory. Our soldiers are rapidly procur-
ing arms and every day serves to put
thein on a better footing in this respect.
Our troops e2joy a vast advantage over
the Spaniards in that they are not in-
juriously effected by the climate. I
may say that. have not seena case
of yellow fever or smallpox among the
Suban soldiers since I have been on tle
island and that I have not been sick
a day myself. Furthermore we have
no difficulty in feeding our troops. In

Cuban troops are in eantrol the provis-
ions are protected and we draw our
supplies from thTs sourceT. CuT ccm-
missaty is therefore regularly renew-

his frame was shaken with sighs-

At last, unable to hug her any

arger number cf short ones.
At last, clapsing « hand against

ney started up with horror

oNo! no!T he groaned; oitTs a

Throwing hey arms around his

would not keep her in suspense.

Diving For a Wife.
In many of the Greek islands div-
ing for sponges forms a considerable
part of the occupation of the inhabit-
ants. A visitorto this unfrequented
region describes the following rath-
er startling custom. He says: oHim-
ia, which is a little island directly
opposite Rhodes, is worthy of notice
(on account of the singular. method
by which the ~Greek inhabitants of
the island getitheir living. On the
bottom of the sea in this locality the
common sponge is found in greater
abundance than in any other part of
the Mediterranean.
oThe natives make it a trade tu
gather these, and their income from
this source is far from contemptible.
Their goods are always in demand
among the Turks, who use an in-
credible number of sponges in the
ablutions prescribed by the Moham-
medan ritual. A girl in this island
is not permitted to marry until she
has brought up a certain number of
sponges and given a proof of her
Skill by taking them from a certain
depth. But in certain of the islands
this custom isreversed. The father
of a marriageable daughter bestows
suitors. He who can stay longest in
the water and bring up the biggest
| cargo of sponges marries the maid.�
