MEXICO TO CUBA (Continued from page 1.) we are bringing home. They use a very curious clay water pitcher on the tables of La Francis. I remarked one day that I would like to have one. A man friend said. J will see if I can get you one. Sure enough one day he came saundering in our court with one in his hand. Os course I was glad to have it, but being several thousand miles from home nearly three I should think, I wondered how I would carry it. But I put it In my straw satchel and put most of the things from there in my trunk. After our trunks were packed and gone, another man came with a beautiful polished box about 7x12 and about six inches high to give us. He said the box was rare. They are made by the Indians out of wood that grows nowhere else, but in the state of Oaxaca. When green it has no odor, but when cut and dried it develops a beautiful fragrance. In ancient times no one but kings and queens were allowed to use the wood. Os course we were delighted with the box. but it took sopie managing to provide a place to carry it, as our trunks were gone. But we still are carrying the box and bottle. The American colony gave a dance the last night we were there and we were kindly invited. But as we would have to get up at hall past four the next morning to get dressed, breakfast and down to the train by 6 a. m., we thought best to decline the invitation. It took us till Bp. m. next day to reach Puebla. We stayed there over night, re-checked our trunks and started at 8 a. m. for Vera Cruz, reaching there about 8 p. m. We had a fine day through the tropics. Our room at Vera Cruz must have been a thousand years old. At least it was several hundred years old —in an old palace. We visited the cathedral which was curious. One of its chapels was very beautiful, all of white marble, and the windows of green glass that threw a peculiar green light that was very beautiful though curious. An immense side altar in this chapel (there were four or five), was of carved ebony, reaching almost to the ceiling. Another chapel in the cathedral bad yellowglass and another of the chapels had windows of red. But they were plainer in every way and the lights not so good. We went out to the little old church, where there is an image ’ of a black Christ. I forgot the name ' of the church, but over the altar is , a very large figure of Christ on the ( cross which is black as a nigger. The figure .wore a velvet robe trimmed in " a band of gold embroidery, and a wig j of long faded brown hair. It is ’ claimed to be the only black Christ except one here in Cuba, but I am sure we saw several in other parts of , Mexico, as well as black Virgins. In , front of another altar was a huge ' cross on which was a life size bleed- , ing Saviour carved la wood and j bound to the cross, the whole laid on > the floor in front of the altars. On L the arms and breast and feet were > huge bouquets of gorgeous read flow- ’ ers. The figure was painted, with 1 blood streaming from the wounds. A ) wig of long hair on the wooden figure. and a crown of thorns. Very realistic in every way. We walked all around, but it shocked our ideas of reverence ) and we hurried away. There are long ) avenues here of giant cocoanut trees ) full of fruit, of royal palms 50 and 60 ) feet high. Another thing peculiar to ■ Vera Cruz are the buzzards that you ■ see in the streets. They are the street cleaning department of the city and work free of charge, and are protected by the government. Formerly Vera Cruz was a very dirty and unhealthy city, but now js clean and safe to visit. We went aboard our steamer I for Havana about one o'clock. It was . to sail at 2 p. tn., but did not get away t till six. The Merida was a fine steamj er, beautifully clean, and airy and _ comfortable. At six we got up each morning and had our hot sea bath.
