NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.
Terrible Discomfort* of Post Cart
Traveling in South Africa.
In the old days, while In South
Africa, the traveler had to trust him
self to the tender mercies of the post
contractor, and we did so, as a rule,
In fear and trembling. There were,
as In all else, degrees in the various
Bervices. but the man who could have
found pleasure in a trip even on the
best roads must have Indeed possess
ed a disposition of which Mark Tapley
might have been proud. In some of
the services on the principal routes
from the Cape Colony and Natal the
carts were well horsed, the drivers
were thoroughly up to their work, and
the conditions were made as desirable
us was possible under the circum
stances. But the carts had been built
to suit the roads, the space was strict
ly limited, and the mails would ab
sorb a considerable quantity of this
space, and the unfortunate passenger,
lammed in between a couple of other
unfortunates, his kuees compressed
against a pile of bags and his back
sore from constant friction against
the seat, would sit In silent agony un
til his destination was reached.
The start from the town was always
of the same nature. The four or six
horses would stand pawing the ground
while a couple of Hottentots would
hang on to their heads, the driver
would gather up the reins and crack
his whip, the boys would spring to
one side, and the equipage would dis
appear in a cloud of dust in the dis
tance. On some lines this would hold
good at all the various stopping places,
but In others, once the first halt was
reached, and civilisation left behind,
a span of weary mules would be drag
ged reluctantly forth, and the travel
er's heart would sink into his boots,
and he would glance reproachfully at
the driver.
The mules would be lnspanned and
a fresh start made, and the driver's
assistant would bring forth his short
"sjambok" and prepare for business.
Tender-hearted travelers would at
first sympathize with the mules; later
on the sympathy would be transferred
to the wretched boy who had to urge
them on, by Jumping down from the
cart every few mfnutes, and running
alongside the animals and belaboring
them.
After a time the traveler's sym
pathy for both would have vanished,
and he would mentally consign both
to the nether world. Like the Irish
Jarvey, the post cart driver firmly be
lieved in "saving a trot for the ave
nue," and the coaeh would wheel into
the village in a blaze of glory, the
driver awakening the echoes with a
shrill blast from his bugle.
The village would turn out to see
"the cart" arrive. The postmaster
would pull himsolf together and as
sume a severe Judicial expression as
of one who had weighty business on
his hands and must not be lightly ap
proached. The cart would pull up at
tho post office and disgorge the mall,
and would then make for the hotel,
and tho traveler would alight to be
welcomed by the host at the hospit
able portals. The village would by
this time be at the post ofilce clamor
ing for their letters and passing un
pleasant remarks as to the dilatori
ness of the postmaster, heedless of
the fact that that official was working
like a galley slave inside. The little
window would at length be thrown
open and the public would receive
their mail, and the postmaster would
draw a breath of relief and retire into
the innermost recesses of his dwelling,
and peaceful night would once more
settle down on the village.—South
African Ex.
NUTRITIOUS FOODS.
Beef and Eggs Must Step Down From
Their High Plaoe.
Professor Atwater, who has devoted
himself to the study for a number of
years, declares that there Is no single
perfect food, the nearest approach to
it being milk. No food, however, con
tains the essential constituents In
right proportions, and thus we have to
get what we want by combining our
foods.
It will be a great shock to many
thrifty housewives to learn that beef
and eggs are among the greatest of
all economical mistakes. A single
dollar spend in wheat-flour will yield
as much nutrition as S3O spent on sir
loin of beef. Sugar ranks next to
wheat-Hour as an economical food, for
a dollar's worth of sugar contains as
much nutriment as $6 worth of milk,
sl2 worth of eggs, or S4O worth of oys
ters. In proportion to their cost oys
ters are almost the least nutritious of
all foods. Beans and potatoes run a
close race for the third place among
valuable and cheap foods, and ths
fourth place is shared between fat, salt
pork and cheese made from skimmed
milk.
Wasted Energy.
I)o you know a man who twiddles
his thumbs all the time he talks to
you, or his fingers, or possibly the
watch chain which he wears? Or, if
he does not do any of these things, he
does something equally annoying.
It may be that you yourself, when
you sit thinking what you will say
next to your shorthand clerk, beat
time with the tips of your finger nails
while she taps her foot.
All these little idosyncrasies the
neurologist classes as physical autq
mntlsms and regards aB energy wast
ers.
Probably you will find yourself
avoiding or stepping on cracks, or
counting figures in patterns or the
posts flying past the windows, group- ;
ing uniformly recurring shapes in wall
paper or bisecting lines and rowtT Qf i
figures. The great Napoleon counted :
windows as he walked abroad, and If
he happened to lose count his temper '
was completely upset for the rest of
his walk. Everybody knows the story
of poor old Dr. Johnson, who counted |
posts, and many sad, Insane men are
duk-g the same to-day. One should
avoid as much as possible this ten
dency of mind and body to dissipate
valuable energy.
Pie That "Ate" Well.
Ted's friend treated him to a piece
of pie. It was so good that he wanted
another, but thought that It would not
be polite to ask for It. So he sidled
up to her and said: "Miss Turk, that
pie eats well."
NOTES ON PORTO RICO
A GOSSIPY LETTER OF INFORMATION
AND INCIDENT.
Brief Description of Fan Juan—Get
lag Into Morro Castle—lnterview.
lag a Native—Dancing and Music
Popular Aasuseiuents.
(Special Correspondence.)
Sau Juan Is worth a brief description,
its commercial importance being under
estimated In the United States Just as
that of Bonce is overestimated. The
city will always be the metropolis of
the island owing both to its natural
and acquired advantage. It stauds up
on an island something over two miles
long, about a quarter of a mile wide,
and separated from the main land at
one end by a narrow arm of the sea,
over which Is the bridge of San An
tonio. The other end Is a rugged bluff
nearly three-quarters of a mile from
the mainland, connection beiug made
by a small ferryboat. It is a walled
town, with portcullis, gates and battle
incuts, and yet it did not take loug for
the Spanish commander to cry, "Don't
shoot; I'll come down!" when Admiral
Sampson started to bombard Morro
Castle last summer.
Although built over two hundred and
fifty years ago, the town is still in good
condition. It has a population of near
ly 26,000 and contrary to the usual cus
tom lu Porto Ulcan cities a good many
people live on the ground floor. Run
ning water has Just been introduced,
though the people mostly drink rain
water caught in about as filthy cisterns
as can be Imagined. It Is infested by
a full supply of vermin, and dogs
enough to bay generously at the moon.
The streets are narrow, but will usual
ly admit two carriages abreast It lias
far more and finer public buildings
than can be found on the entire bal
ance of the island. There nre two good
palaces for the officials, a town hall,
theatre, barracks, custom house, mili
tary hospital, cathedral, Episcopal pal
ace and n seminary.
Gas and electric light works are es
tablished, and the stores and shops are
better than any others on the Island.
There Is no manufacturing of any con
sequence. The Btreets arc regular, six
running parallel with the Islßnd, and
seven at right angles. Just at present
Ran Juan Is pretty well filled with sol
diers and promoters.
Morro Castle shows the marks of
the bombarding Admiral Sampson gave
It. although tho work was considerate
and judicious, being more In the na
ture of a warning than anything else.
An Intelligent Rpnnlard tells me that
when the bombarding began the com
mander at the castle thought It was
merely a visit from Cnrvera's fleet,
which was giving an unusually effusive
salute, but when n shot went clear
through the top walls and landed
against a prlvato house beyond, tho
Spaniards realized that something wns
likely to happen. Then when another
shot made a hole as hlg as a hogshead
In the front of a church.passed through
the edifice, smashing the rear wall into
smithereens, everybody began to flee,
and when daylight came net a soul
could be seen In the town.
To gain admission to the castle It Is
neiwssary to secure a pass from the
United States military authorities, but
I knew nothing of thlß at the time of
my visit. With me wns the cnptaln of
an ocean steamship, who had the usunl
supply of gold lace upon his attire. We
had each purchased Spanish swords as
relics .which were buckled about our
waists as the easiest means of convey
ance. Although the one I carried
seemed to delight in getting tangled in
my legs and in trying to throw me
down, the guard evidently took ns for
military magnates, for he saluted
promptly and we returned It with dig
nity. Once passed the first sentry we
got along easily. Merit thus often pays
tribute to Ignorance.
A mine to the seashore defended by
a battery enables troops io enter or
leave the fort, or receive succor when
needed. Down below are the dungeons
where Spain kept her mi'dtaiy prlsone s.
The entrance passage to these see In
the form of crescents, and the only
light Is through diminutive barred win
dows, 1 lie sills of which are worn away
l>y years of use as seats for the unfor
tunate Innmtes who clung to them to
secure as much HS possible the light of
day. The ensile of San Cristobal, fac
ing the ocean northwest of the city. Is
likewise a strong fortification, being
for the most part cut out of solid rock.
It is connected with Morro Castle by a
well-constructed wall.
So much for Ihe city. Its people nre
of a better grade than can be found In
the central or southern parts of the Isl
and. Indeed, the inhabitants of the
entire north shore are more intelligent
and enterprising than those of the
southern part, simply bemuse they
have been In closer touch with civiliza
tion. But this Is saying very little,
Mungo Park found even In the heart of
Africa a class of men who told the
story of their heroic forefathers, and
the Sandwich Islanders have bards
who recite the deeds of their Illustrious
Blres. But the Porto Rlcnn has uo his
tory, no Ideals, no ancestry, no folk
lore.
On the road from Caguas to Sau Juan
I stopped at the hut of a native, who
seemed to be of more than nvernge In
telligence. With the aid of an Interpre
ter—for when you attempt to probe
Ignorance you need good tools-I tried
to find out If there were any distin
guished natives on the Island. Were
there any sagOH or scientists? Any In
ventors, or orators, or statesmen? He
had never heard of any.
"Poets run wild and rank in almost
every laud on earth," said 1. "Ask him
If Porto Rico lias any poets."
Our native friend blinked his eyes,
and, with a far-away look, said he wns
sure It had none. But I shall always
think that he did not quite uuderatnnd
me, for In the next breath he said:
"But there Is a mau living near Rio
I'ledras who has more than a score of
roosters, and he Is known all over the
island as a great cock tighter."
A. A. H.
In a letter to his parents, Lieutenant
Colonel Little, of Kansas, tells about
meeting an American doctor who had
been on the Island-of Luzon for twenty
two years. According to tills doctor,
every village had Its school houses be

all the natives are educated, with th
exception of a few wild tribes.
A MOTHER'S OFFER.
T*n Thousand Dollar* t* Doctor* Try
to Save Her Child'* Life.
With a distracted mother ureln
them to their best efforts with the o:
fer of a reward of SIO,OOO, Ave Brook
lyn doctors labored la vain to save
her child from death by strangulation.
The mother Is Mrs. Vincent Qeralde,
of 27a State street, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
and the child was her two-year-old
daughter Annie. The physicians who
strove vainly to save the child's life
were doctors of the neighborhood,
summoned one after the other.
The ohlld was fretful, and Mrs. Ger
alde gave her a button bag to amuse
herself with. When Mrs. Qeralde went
Into another room for a few minutes
the child opened the bag and took
from it a big bone button. She placed
It In her mouth and it slipped down
her throat, lodging in the windpipe.
Mrs. Geralde heard the child gasping
for breath and hurried into the room.
The mother frantically tried to dis
lodge the button. Finding her efforts
unavailing she sent for a physician.
The doctor came at once but tried in
vain to get the button from the child's
throat. Mrß. Geralde almost beßlde
herself with fear, hurriedly summoned
two other physicians of the neighbor
hood. The continued efTorts of the
three physicians, however, failed to
dislodge the button, and they dls
palred of saving the child's life. Mrs.
Geralde would not give up hope, and
thinking they might know of some
method of dislodging the button which
the physicians in attendance had not
tried, she called in two more doctors.
The live doctors, too, agreed that It
was hopeless to try to save the child's
life. They told Mrs. Geralde that
they had employed every method
known to them to get the button out,
but that It could not be dislodged.
"Oh. do not let her die." she cried.
"I will give 21,000 if you save her."
The doctors Bhook their heads, but
continued working on the child. Little
Annie was slowly dying, and the physi
clans told the mother that her daugh
ter could live but a few minutes.
"1 would give my own life for hers,"
said the mother pitifully. "Save hot
and I will give you $5,000."
The physicians looked at each othet
helplessly and shook their heads
again.
"I will give you SIO,OOO. I can pay
you; only save her!"
"It is useless," said one of the doc
tors, turning away from the little girl
"The child is dead." —N. Y. Times.
LITTLE'KNOWN FACTS.
They Bhow What We Know of Each
Other and of Our Country.
But eighteen per cent, of all the fam
Hies in America employ domestic help
leaving eighty-two per cent, without
even one servant.
It all the dressmakers known to ex
ist in America worked twenty-four
hours of each day for a whole year,
without stopping for sleep or meals,
they would still bo able to make only
one dress apiece for leBS than seven
eighths of the women of America.
Not six per cent, of all the women
in America spend as much money as
fifty dollars per year on their clothes.
Out of twelve million American
families the income of four million ol
these families is less than S4OO each
per year, and the Incomes of nearly
eighty per cent, of the entire numbei
are less than $1,090 each per year.
There are scores of places in this
country where only one mail comes
every fourteen days.

Our Population Is 75,000,000.
In June of next year the people ol
the United States will be counted foi
the twelfth time Bince the establish
ment of our government. "It will re
quire about fifty thousand enumera
tors," writes Clifford Howard in the
November Ladies' Home Journal, "tc
take the census, and their work must
be finished in one month's time, ol
by the first week of July, 1900. That
means that about seventy-five million
people must be recorded in thirty
days, or at the rate of two and a hall
million a day. The rate will be even
greater than this, however, for in
towns and cities of eight thousand
inhabitants the enumeration must bf
completed within two weeks. The
enumerators will not be permitted tc
have any assistance in the work; it
must be done by them In person, ex
cept in such sections of the country
as contain a groat many foreigners
where the employment of interpreters
will be allowed, as otherwis'e it would
be next to impossible to secure the
necessary data. The enumerators will
be paid for their services in accord

are called upon to do."
