A QUAINT OLD TOWN.
San Juan, the Capital of Puerto Rico,
Has Walls, PortculIis, MOaf,
and BattIements.

San Juan is perfect specimen of a
walled town, with portcullis, moat,
gates and battlements. Built over $50
years ago, it is still in good condition
and repair. The walls are picturesque,
and represent a stupendous work and
cost in themselves. Inside the walls
the city is laid off in regular squares,
six parallel streets running in the
direction of the length of the island
and seven at right angles. The houses
are closely and compactly built of
brick, usually of two stories, succeed
on the outside, and painted in a variety
of colors. The upper floors are occu-
pied by the more respectable peo-
pie, while the ground floors, almost

not tied down became a prey Of the
clever island thieves. They were
as handy with their toes as with
their hands. When knife or
other article was lying upon the
deck they would step on it, grasp
it between their toes, raise it to the
level of the hand, cleverly hide it in
the waist mating which formed their
only clothing and go ashore with the
utmost innocence. Magellan was dis
gusted with the natives, and after pro-
viding himself with food and water
sailed away, giving TO the islands the
| opprobrious name of Ladrones, or
Thieves, islands.
Not long after Magellan persisted in
a fight which he and his men provoked
with the Philippine islanders. Of his
five ships only one, with 10 men, re-
| turned to Spain, and many years elapsed
before any attempts were made to &C.
cupy the islands which he had discov-
| cred. Toward the end of the seven
| teenth century a military expedition
from Mexico took possession of the
| islands and renamed them the Mariana
| group. The natives at that time num-
| bered at least 10000, some estimates
placing them as high as 10000, but, fol-
lowing their usual custom, the Span
| iards soon extermipated most of the
natives.
The present islanders are mostly de-
scendants of settlers from Mexico or
from the Philippines. The most re-
markable town on any of the group is
Saypan, on the island of the same name.
the houses of which are elevated on
piles from two to four feet above the
ground. There are few Spanish settlers
on the islands, and the hold of Spain
on the group has been for the most part
nominal.
| It is pointed out as singular fact
| that there are evidences on several of
the islands of a former civilization.
| Cyclopean ruins exist, the architecture
and dimensions OF the stones closely
resembling the great ruins found in
! the islands of the Greek archipelago.
These lonely isles must therefore once
have been seat of civilization. Per
haps it was before they were islands,
for the Ladrones are the remains of a
mountain chain which traverses the Pa
cific from north to south, having
branches to the east in other scattered
groups which here and there dot the
surface of the sea-

Clothes are put on ice now during the
summer months. Mems garments and
women's alike. It is not meant, of
course, that suits and dresses are lit
orally laid upon blocks of ice, there to
CONCEAL rapidly, but that clothes are
actually placed in the coolest of storage
in the heated term.
Tar paper is remedy of long stand
ing, as IS camphor, but it is said that
the new plan of the cold storage ware
house is better than either of these.
In the first place, the clothes are not
packed away tightly, but they are hung
on hooks in the storage rooms set
apart for that purpose, and they keep
their shape much better. Then no odor
clings to them when they are taken
aome in the fall.
You can hire a room for clothes, or a
single hook in a room in progressive
cold storage warehouse to-day as you
please. This is a more expensive method
of preserving winter clothes through
the summer than the old-fash ioned
ways, yet it is not SO costly. An odd
feature of the cold storage of clothes is
that boots are now being received, and
it seems to be popular thing to put
them on ice, too.-Chicago Tribune.

will remember that it was the pos
session of this same quality, the fine
craftsmanship, which the Americans
displayed which gave US victories both
on land and on sea, from Crecy to the
Crimea, and something peculiar and
