MORE ABOUT PORTO RICO.

It's People and It's Products-Present
 State of the Island and Its Past Rela-
 tions With Spain
 The population of Porto Rico, some eight hundred thousand, is essentially agricultural. A varied climate, sultry In the lowlands, refreshing and vigora- ting in the mountain ranges, makes possible the cultivation of almost every variety of known orop-sugar, tobacco, coffee annatto, maze, cotton and gin- ger are extensively grown; but there are still thousands of acres of virgin lands awaiting the capitalist. Tropical fruits flourish in abundance, and the sugar-pine is we'll known in our mar- ket, where it brings higher price than any other pine imported. Hardwood and fancy cabinet wood trees fill the forests, and await the woodman's axe. Among these are some specimens of unexampled beauty, notably tree, the wood of which, when polished, resem- bles veined marble, and another, rival ing in beauty the feathers in a pea cocks tail. Precious metals abound although systematic effort has never been directed to the locating of paying veins Rivers tnd rivulets are plenty, and water power is abundant and the new regime should see the installation of power plants and electric lighting all over the island, within short time af- ter occupation. On the lowlands large tracts of pasturage under guinea grass and malojilla feed thousands of sleek cattle, but, as an article of food, mutt ton is almost unknown. The native pony, small, wiry and untirable, has world wide reputation, and for long journeys is unequalled, possessing a gait, as they say in the island, like an armchair.
 Perhaps a third of the population of the island is of African descent, but. strangely enough, the colored people are only to be found on the coast, and are the fishermen, boatmen and labor CTS of the seaports. The cultivation of the crops is entirely in the hands of the jibaro, or peasant, who is seldom of di- rect Spanish descent, while the finan- ciering and exportation is conducted almost entirely by peninsulares, or I Spanish-b colonists, who monopo- | lize every branch of commerce to the exclusion of the colonial-born subject. In fact, the Porto Ricans have long

PACTFIC COAST TRADE.

Must the Atlantic coast prepare to permanently resign it's commercial su- premacy to the Pacific coast? Com- parisons of the trade of the Pacific ports with that of the previous year and with that of the Atlantic and gulf ports make a brave showing for the Pacific ports. The Atlantic ports, con- sidered as an entire group, merely held their own in exports as compared with the preceding year, but lost slightly in imports. The total increase in ex-

They are commenting in London a newly devised ice machine for house. hold use--one which will furnish, in fif- teen minutes, small cake of pure ice admirable for domestic purposes. The device consists of double sheet and metal cylinder covered on the outside with a protective layer of asbestos for the purpose of insulation, and hung in sockets by two central pivots. The re- ceptacle is filled with distilled water up to within a half inch of the top, and, after the rubber washer and metal cover are adjusted, it is tightly closed with a screw. The cylinder is then turned around once, and the other cover un- fastened; this permits the filling of the space between the double wall of the outer cylinder with chemicals used for generating the cold temperature, viz, an ammonium salt and water After turning the cylinder around rapidly for some fifteen minutes, the inner re- eeptacle is withdrawn from the cylin- der, held for a minute in hot water, and, upon being opened, piece of ice exactly the shape of the inner wall will slide out without any trouble An other round cylinder is provided for the quick cooling of any fluid,

The last speech Jefferson Davis is known to have made has been discov- cred and made public by the Augusta Chronicle. It was to a political gath ering at Mississippi City in 1888, and is interesting in view of regent devel- opments: The faces I see before me are those of young men; but I not known this I would not have appeared before you. Men in whose hands the destinies of our southland lie, for love of her I break my silence, to speak to you few words of respectful admoni- tion. The past is dead; let it bury its dead, it's hopes and it's aspirations; be- fore you lies the future-a future full of golden promise; future of recom- pense for honorable promise; a future of expanding national glory, before which all the world shall stand amaz- ed. Let me beseech you to lay aside all rancor, all bitter sectional feeling, and to take your places In the ranks of those who will bring about a consum- nation devoutly to be wished-a re- united country.

Does Baby
hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and slckly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
Or four times a day and you
will see marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as In winter.
Ask Jour doctor if this is net true.

While experience has taught us to be-
iieve very little of what passes for war
news in the daily papers the conviction is
becoming general that we are in for long
war Indeed, more than two months have
passed since hostilities began, and no APP
preciable progress has been made in at
tanning the end the government had in
view, viz, to drive Spain out Of Cuba.
The destruction of the Spanish fleet at
Manila was a notable achievement: but.
Manila is long way from Cuba We
have been blockading Havana for two
months, only to discover now that while
tine front door was closed the back door
was v,se open and that Havana has been
receiving abundant supplies, including
>oaL via Ratabauo on the south side, only
40 mj,ee 4Hav and connected Wild Havana
by I4ii we are further told that Havana
bias iesu ST. strengthened in its defences
while og slips here have been lying idly
on the rot that il is NOW one of the most
strongly ioldhed cities in the world and
c2u le taken only with great loss Of life.
1he t@tiAoations OF Santiago have been
3omlrga several times, but lie amount
81 damage dome remains to be ascertaned.
at eeuisa there arc good reasons Tor the
policy Of those who are conducting the
war, and We have no desire 10 crticise.
But it does seem as if little Of Dewey S
dash would not have been amiss il the
CUBAN campaign. Com. Dewey's fleet was
ordered out ofiHong Kong under neutrality
regulations and he was obliged to do some
thing-and did it, Our naval vessels then
in commission III American waters may be
supposed to be as well equipped and as
leady for action as the ships of the Asiatic
squadron. Why not then have given them
orders to take Havana instead OF block
aiding it?
