valescents and for schools. Unable to carry out his advanced plans for lack of means, 

 upon his death, a merchant undertook the task. This was Juan Francisco Carballo, who 

 was assassinated November i6th, 1718. His portrait with an inscription is to be seen 

 in the sacristy. 



The school then kept by the Belemite Brothers, was the only free school towards the 

 end of the last century, and became famous for its scholars' perfection in penmanship. 

 This school lasted until 1854. 



The first Jesuits who came to Havana were shipwrecked from a vessel which was 

 taking them to Brazil, and after continuing their voyage, they reached that country 

 and there suffered martyrdom for their faith. In 1658, the Jesuit Father Andres Rada 

 arrived at Havana and endeavored to establish a school, but without success. In 1682 he 

 repeated his attempt unsuccessfully. In 1704 the Jesuit Fathers Francisco Diaz Pimienta 

 and Andres Recino visited Havana, and used their influence upon the Havana priest, 

 Jorge Gregorio Diaz Angel, to attain their object, and gave $40,000 towards it unavailingly. 

 The Society persisted, however, and in 1724 erected the College, known as the Seminary, 

 which was finished about the middle of the century, building on the south end a church 

 which after being extended, later became the Cathedral. 



The Jesuits settled in Puerto Principe in 1754, but the expulsion of the Society from 

 Spanish dominions by edict of Carlos III, took effect in 1767, and finally, in 1789, when 

 the Island was divided into two dioceses, their church became the Cathedral of Havana. 

 The clock that used to hang in one of its towers until 1850, when taken down for repairs, 

 was found to have been made in London in 1698. 



The curious tourist always endeavors to decipher a nearly obliterated grey stone 

 slab, near the door on San Ignacio Street, which reads to the effect that His Grace 

 Pedro Agustin Morel Santa Cruz, Bishop of Cuba, consecrated this church on September 

 8th, 1755-

Modern Disc Harrow Construction. 



One of the latest improvements in disc 

 harrow construction is the tongue truck 

 disc harrow, as made by Fetzer & Com- 

 pany, of Middletown, 0., and as will be 

 shown by the accompanying illustration. 



IMPROVED 



TONGUELESS 



DISC -HARROW 



FETZER PATENT 



It is a commonly known fact that there is 

 no work on the farm harder on the team 

 than "discing," because the tongue pulls 

 most continuously down upon the horses' 

 necks and also there is a side pressure in 

 turning as well as the side pressure arising 

 from the striking of obstructions on one 

 side or the other, but with the tongue 

 truck disc harrow, as here shown, all of 

 these objections are most favorably over- 

 come and the tongue is only required to 

 steady and guide the machine. 



Again the horses cannot get back into 

 the discs to become cut up or injured, like 

 with the regular or old style disc harrow. 

 Another thing, as compared with a tongue- 

 less disc'harrow, the machine cannot run 

 upon the horses in going down a decline 

 when the machine is being transported on 

 the road.
