Letter From a Soldier.
PONCE, PORTO Rico, Sept. 90, 1898.
On board the TRANSPORT Obdam

TONCE, fORTO hICO, Sept. ~, ISYS.
On board the transport OLDHAM.
DEAR PARENTs:--We arrived In the
harbor OF Ponce this morning, all we'll
and feeling good. After leaving Mid
dletown we took the cars and the next
morning arrived In Jersey City. After
about one hour stay we took the ferry
boat and crossed over to Brooklyn and
stayed there until | o'clock Wednesday
night and then we started on our Jour-
ney to Porto Rico.
Well, the first thing that happened
worthy OF mention was on Saturday
morning, the 18th. At about 8 o'clock
1t started to rain aud the sea began TO
roll and every minute increased the
fury Of the storm until 1t reached the
point whore we expected every minute
would be our last. IL was something
awful, the waves were like mountains
and we were all very anxious for It to
calm. The ship crew said 1t was the
worst storm that they ever experienced.
They ordered everybody down and had
everything shut up. Incvcr want to be
in another storm at sea.
We were all sea sick the first day out
but soon got over it.
Well, we sailed to San Juan and got
there on the 2lst. Our boat signaled
for pilot, which came out after de-
lag OF about one hour. and he inform
ed us that we could not land, las that
was our intention) because he said the
war was not over They would not as
much as take the mail off, so we left
for this port. At San Juan we could
plainly see whore Sampson bombarded
the fort He knocked the one end all
to pieces. Our ship only lay about one
mile from the fort and think it must
have been tempting for the Spanish
gunners.
We are now waiting In the harbor
until the cargo is unloaded before we
can be taken off, which | think will be
tomorrow. like the looks of the conn
try and think it will be all right to live
in. Our ship is surrounded by small
boats: some with fruit, some with bread
and others ready to take anybody off
that wants to go to shore. Herb, Jay
and | bought some bread OF one Of the
boats and had it for dinner. 1t was all
right as 1t was the first we had had since
leaving Brooklyn.
The other two battalions OF the 10Th
are in camp about thirty miles from
here so we will have little journey to
make as soon as we land 1t is raining
here now and as this is the rainy season
it rains every day.
Well, as | have no more time, will
write again as soon as we get in camp.
This will go back on the same ship we
came on, Obdam. Hand this to Editor
Stephenson when you read it and will
write to him often when get to camp.
We are all busy getting things ashore.

Coffee is to be cheaper. This is to be
one OF the results of the war. Nearly
one-half of the worlds coffee crop comes
to the United States. We consume al
most twelve pounds per annum for
every one of our population, and spend
on an average nearly 800, 900, 900 year
for coffee. Two-thirds of the worlds
supply of coffee comes from Brazil,
which places an export duty of II per
cent upon the fragrant berry. The fin
est coffee in the world is grown in Porto
Rico, Cuba and the PHILIPPINES and un-
der the stimulation OF American enter
prise these countries will, within few
years, be able to supply the world with
coffee. What this means to the coffee
consumer he can clearly understand.

Some students seem to think they
have no part in the work Of this col.
umn and are inclined to thrust The
whole burden upon the editors. This
or three might profit by It, but for the
benefit OF the whole High School-Sub-
Juniors, Juniors and Seniors Now give
the editors your support.
Writing for this column affords ex-
cellent practice, for sometime In life we
will have to take some part in work of
this kind. Our Literary Society affords
opportunity for us to become able to
present our ideas before our fellow men,
and to overcome stage fright, which
nearly everyone experiences In his first
attempt to talk before an audience. BY
taking part continually in our society
we are soon able TO avoid this unueces-
sary embarrassment. But by writing
we are benefited in different way.
When a student writes for paper he
feels that all eyes will be upon his work
and he naturally tries to do his best
Then there is great satisfaction in see
ing ones own literary effort in print
There is nothing that will give self
respect to young man or woman more
than literary training. Therefore, stu
dents. write and make your debut in the
literary world. The public will not
criticise. All who have acquired the
ability TO write made their beginning
one day and they know with what anx-
iety they submitted their first produc-
tion to the press. Who can tell but
that some day one of the High School
students will become famous by some
great Grafton on leading problem of
his day, or the School turn out great
author or poet like Irving, Cooper
Dickens, Longfellow or Bryant.
Think, students, what you may real
ize by grasping this opportunity to
develop the dormant powers of your
minds. DO not be discouraged II your
first attempt is not as flowery and pleas
ing in diction as your favorite author.
Remember you do not know what his
or her first attempt may have been.
The only way to become successful is to
try again and again. Let us all join in
one mighty effort to do the most posi-
BILE for ourselves, the editors and the
II. S. column.

1t is curious fact that red-headed
people are far less apt to become bald
than those whose hirstute covering is
OF another hue. The average crop on
the head of a red haired person is
said to be 10000 hairs. Ordinary dark
hair is far finer, and over three dark
hairs take up the space of one red one:
100000 are about the average. But
fair-haired people are still better Off:
10000 to 100000 are quite a common
number of hairs on the scalp OF fair
haired man or woman. A curious cal
culation has been made to the effect
that the hairs on the head Of a fair
haired person, If they could be plated
together, would sustain weight OF
something like eighty tons, equaling
that Of 500 people. Medical Record.

The Kittanning Republican advises
the farmer TO take week of and go
picnicing with his family or neighbors.
The Republican says: 1.-THE farmer is
the only man who does not take vaca-
tion in the true sense OF the word. He
has his COWS to attend to and his hogs
to feed, and this or that crop to look
after, and while he may not work at his
hardest gait every day in the year, he
has these things on his mind. He gets
to thinking after he has kept this up
year after year. that the world can not
get along unless he is on hand every
morning, and this satisfies him and con-
vinoes him that week away is among
the. imposslbilities. II such man will
take week for real rest and get 80 far
away from home that he cannot hear
his pigs squeal, and stay there for full
seven days. he will come back so re-
frsshod In mipd and body that he will

The latest product OF scientific pro-

how an onion can be odorless and still
remain an onion is not explained. To

reckoned among the proudest achieve
