"HERE'S YOUR OMAHA ILLUSTRATED 11EE" Photo by Louis R. Uostwlck. Taking Cuba's Census ( Continued from Fourteenth Page. ) her and color of the pupils , whether white , legro , mestizo or Chinese , the number of [ lays schooling last year and the average .hilly attendance. There are very lew , If my , schcolliouscs In Cuba , the schools being icld In the homes of the teachers or clso- tvhere and the instruction being very meager. The statistics gathered on the agricultural blanks of the sugar and coffee estates , the lumber of cattle and horses and so on will be valuable commercially , and there is ; oed reason to believe that they were con scientiously collected. Culmiift Arc Good J'ciiiiirn. Indeed , the work of the enumerators was thoroughly done throughout. More slowly , perhaps , than Americans would have done It , and yet It was not dragged out unduly to In crease the salary allowance , for there were : nany enumerators In Havana , Santiago and the other cities , who completed their dis tricts In five or six days and turned In their blanks complete. On the other hand , some of the country enumerators , where the roads ; were Impassable with mud and the Jungle , was thick , hardly finished In six weeks. To show that the work was conscientiously done In one case , at least , I know that the I enumerator came to the hotel In Santiago ' where I was stopping five or six times to i see personally and get the names of every guest , their age , nationality "and BO on , al ' though nearly all of them were "extran- Jeros. " And neater penmanship than that of the schedules all over Cuba was never seen anywhere. The schooled Cuban , cope- clally the Cuban woman , Is a born penman i and some of the filled blanks were as clean and precise as copper-plate , with never a 1 smudge of dirt. It Is difficult to conceive s how the enumerators were able to keep the blanks so beautifully , traveling such roads 1 In such weather , visiting nud floor huts and i keeping off Inquisitive flngere. Of late there has been reference to the danger of a black republic In Cuba similar to that In San Domingo , but the census will [ undoubtedly show that the popular Impres sion of Cuba aa over-swarming with negroes i Is erroneous. The proportion of blacks to , whites Is far from being as large In Cuba 1 as It Is In many states In our union. In i 1811 there were nfty-clght blacks out of every 100 population , but the proportion has 1 boon steadily creeping down , C0.75 In 1850 , 47 In I860 , 43 In 1SGO , 33 In 1877 and 30.EG In 1887. It Is the opinion of those who know that the proportion will appear even less In the present census , although it must be admitted that many of these Cubans ordi narily calling themselves white have a strain in them of negro blood. The completed blanks are now in the hands of the assistant director , Mr. Olm- stead , at Santa Clara. Ho will give them a careful , thorough , hasty examination and then they will bo forwarded to Washington where the tabulations will bo made by ma chinery , and It Is expected that definite re sults may bo had before eprlng. Counting will bo hastened that the present congress may have the flgurca to aid It In Its con sideration of the Cuban problem. New Blue Grotto On the shore of the promontory of Sklnarl on the Ionian Island Xante , a blue grotto like that of the Island of Capri has been discovered. The entrance Is from the sea and IB larger than In the Capri grotto , but the Interior Is smaller. Fishing boats can make their way In when the water Is calm. Merry Christmas W. J. Lampton In New York Sun. And Christmas ! What a day It is , With earth and air full of the fizz And sparkle of champagne ; And yet a better thing than that , For all may take It , Free as air. When Christmas cheer is everywhere. Not quite as much to some , ( Perhaps , As unto others ; not all of us ilay have the "snaps" Of this good world of ours ; And yet , ho Is unworthy who will let. The shadows fall on him Or his , When Christmas time Is what It Is , And loses much of happiness , Because It happens he has less Than others have. Gadzooks , perhaps , They'd like the chance to swap their "snaps" For his ; and glad could they arrange With this same covetcr to change. Hut even they should not repine ; The rich may let their treasure shine So that although their lot bo Bad , They may be able to make glad These less unhappy ; those 'but why Bring In the semblance of n sigh To mar the Chrlhtmas song ? At Christmas there Is nothing wrong ; An ache , a debt , a heavy heart Must be considered as a part Of Christmas time ; a spot to make The light a brighter radiance take. There. Is enough for all ; God gives To every human thing that lives , Some chance at gladness ; something to Transfer in His own way the blue That's In your lives Into your sky Till every heavy cloud rolls by ; And Christmas Is the time. Come all , Look up , look up ; there Is no pall Of gray And blackness hung today Above the Merry Christmas way , For In your hearts must roses bloom In ChriHtmas color and perfume. Divide your blessings and your cares , Give half of yours , take half of theirs ; Forget the rest. What odds If what You think you want , you haven't got ! There may bo others ; can It bo In this you have no company ? Ah , no , a million others would He something other if they could. But lot that BOJ there's ylenty yet To make you happy and forget. Brace up , stand up , look up and cheer For Christmas one time of the year When merry bells shall gayly ring And all the world Hlmll laugh and Blng.
