did, they could not afford to, as their

Life at San Juan and the other prin-
cipal towns is very monotonous, the
only amusements being retreta or con-
cert by the military bands twice week
and theatrical performances three or
four evenings week, matinees being
given very seldom. The theatres are
owned by the cities and rented to Eu-

washing Their Loose Change.

The writer happened to mention re-
Gently to the manager of a well-known
city bank that certain gentleman
who died lately, after making fortune
as newspaper proprietor, always had
the loose gold, silver and copper in his
possession washed before putting it in
his pocket.
The record of singular fact was
the result, for, said the bank man
ager: 81 could not only name con-
siderable number of people who do
this, but some eminent ones-one of
the richest and most benevolent ladies
in this country, as an instance. The
coins paid away by notoriously fru-
gal actor-manager always have high
polish, for he has soap, soda and hot
water daily applied to all the loose
money he draws from the treasurer of
his theatre, and all manner of comical
stories are told of the brightness of
his very small payments.
"Then, again. noble Scotch duke
has little bags of coin already washed
and secured, put aside for daily use,

Root-Grafted Apple Trees.

Most of the apple trees from nur-
series are root grated. 1t is so much
more convenient to do this the first
season than later that nine-tenths Of
the apple trees for sale are grated
then and allowed to root from the
graft, as is certain to do when trans
planted. No doubt there is greater
uniformity in trees grown by this
method than if each Seeding were al
lowed to grow as it would and then
be top grated when high enough to
form a head. Many farmers believe
that when tree is top grated it will
come in bearing sooner than one
grated on little piece of root and
allowed to make the whole stock from
the ground up. 1t is probable that
the root-grafted trees are given better
cultivation than those top-grafted, the
latter being usually stray seedlings in
out-of-th the way places, and therefore
getting very little cultivation.

Some of the interesting things about
Porto Rico are not generally known.
In size it ranks only as the fourth OF
the Greater Antilles, but in point OF
density of population and general
prosperity it takes the first place. 1t
is one of the few countries in tropical
America where the whites outnumber
the other races. The best harbor in
the island is Guauica, the most western
port on the south coast. Yellow fever
never scourges Porto Rico as it does
parts of Cuba, and although most of
it is low-lying, and may be said to be
very hilly rather than mountainous,
it is one of the most healthful of tropi-
cal islands.
Though the harbor of Guanica,
where our troops landed, is the best
in the island, it is not visited by much
shipping. The district Immediately
around it is low and swampy, and,
unless improvements have been made
within the past two or three years.
the roads are not equal in quality to
the main roads marked on the map.
Guanica is the outlet for the produce
of San German, Sabana Grade, and to
to some extent of Yauco, which is on
the railroad. Porto Rican ''rebels"
have been particularly numerous in
the western and southwestern dis
tricts, and many thousands of people
there welcomed the day of General
Miles's coming as the greatest in their
lives.
The largest city and the commercial
capital of the island is Ponce, which
lies three miles north of the port of
Ponce, on rich plain surrounded by
gardens and plantations. There are
hot springs in the neighborhood,
which are highly appreciated by in
valids. Along the playa or beach in
front of the port are extensive depots,
in which the produce of the interior,
forwarded through Ponce, the trading
centre, is stored for shipment. At
the last enumeration Ponce had a
population of 81, 545, while San Juan,
the capital on the north coast, had
only %, Ala inhabitants. Ponce has a
number of fine buildings, among which
