UNHAPPY PUERTO RICO.
The spaniards VINO Inhabft the
n SIsisads Have aSvarfed Lfst
~ 4, IN ef Minfertunes. aAs

Those early settlers may well have
deserved their fate; still, one may hard
~ withhold sympathy from them in
their many and varied misfortunes. In
1918 they had visitation OF ants which
devoured everything before them; and
then soon after the insects had been
driven away or destroyed, an epidemic
Of the smallpox decimated their ranks,
swiftly followed by another disease,
more insidious, but scarcely leas far'
tai In Its effects. In 1899 French pirates
burned the town of San German, on the
south coast; the fierce Caribs ravaged
the eastern provinces, carrying of some
OF their prominent men to be sacrificed
al cannibal repasts; and 70 years later,
IN 1895, that great pirate, Don Francis
co Drake" appeared of San Juan,
which city he sacked, the English
claim; but to be gloriously repulsed,
the Spaniards say The Notifications
of San Juan then mounted 70 pieces Of
artillery, with "a in the great Castle del
MORO alone. There is no doubt that q
Dutch attack was repealed in 1915. and
another English attempt defeated in
1878; but in the latter instance the
Peurto Ricans were aided by hurri-
cane, which destroyed many Of the
ships of war. The islanders were won't
to point many moral with this sig
nal instance Of Divine interposition,
until fleet OF their own was similar
ly destroyed, in 1902, when 1t seemed
to them more rational to ascribe such
an event to natural causes.
During the greater part Of the seven
teenth century the filibusteros and
bucaneros, composed of combined
Dutch, French and English renegade
adventurers, continually harried the
coast and attacked the supply galleons
coming from Spain At first intrenched
In the island of St. Kits, they were
driven out by feet under Don Federi-
co Toledo, fitted out in Peurto Rico,
when they fiocked to the island of Tor
tuga, north of the coast of Hayti,
whence they preyed upon Spanish com
merce at their convenience.
The Morro of San Juan, standing we'll
out at sea, was chip on the Spanish
shoulder, at which passing ships could
not resist taking shot or two. The last
great attack upon San Juan, previous
to the American bombardment of this
year, was in 1897. by the English, under
Abercrombie, who were compelled to
retire after three days siege.
During the century that has elapsed
since that event the inhabitants of this
rock-ribbed forress town have boasted
the impregnability of their fortifca-
tions, until so rudely disturbed by the
guns of modern battleships-Fred A.

COST OF BEING A GUARDSMAN.
1t In Pretty Expensive Sort of Honor
The Clubs to which He
Must Belong.

The actual surroundings Of guards
mans daily life are simple. If quar-.
tered in London, unless at the tower,
he will live at the Guards club, as the
mess at the tower Is the only one main
tained by the foot guards in London;
and his expenses at the club will COM
pare favorably with the expenses Of
any other club in town. If the bat
talon to which he belongs is quartered
at Chelsea barracks he may very pos
sibly have room in the barracks; II
his people live in town, as is often the
case, he may live at home, or he may
prefer the freedom of couple of rooms
In the neighborhood of Jermyn street
or ST. James.
The entrance fee to the Guards club
is 80 guineas, and he will have to pay
an annual subscription of ell; fair
average of the living expenses of the
club may be taken as some a20 a
month, though, If of extravagent tastes,
it may be much higher, and the rent
of his rooms will depend almost entire
ly on what he chooses to pay; so that
it is clear that the necessary expenses
of life in the foot guards is not near
" as prohibitory as is generally sup
posed. The guardsman receives the
same pay as officers of corresponding
rank in the line with the addition of
f70 year guards pay, 50 that 1t is
possible for youngster of an eco
nomical turn to live in the guards on
an allowance of C 300 year in addition
to his pay. As we have just shown, it
is possible, but must admit that it is
not often done. The young guards
man is very seldom contented with one
club, or even with two, and the brigade
will be found'to be fairly strongly rep
resented at the Bachelors" Whites"
and the best service clubs The lovers
OF cricket and tennis proper are most
ly habitues of Princes" and the ma
jority belong to the principal racing
clubs. such as Sandown Park and the
horsey, or rather pony" clubs of Hnr-
hngham and the newer Ranelagh.-

A JALAPA FUNERAL.
Always N Band That Plays the
Washington Post March.

A funeral among the poor in Jalapa,
Mexico. is a sight long to be remem-
bered. First come the coffin bearers
carrying the stained pine box on their
shoulders, for there isn't hearse or
even a carriage in the whole city of
Jalapa. The coffin is gaudily decorated

Sometimes even the body is removed

THE EMANcIpATED WOMAN.
France and Italy Are Beginning TO
Grant the Fair Sex Some
Concessions.

Although continental Europe knows
no such freedom of the female sex as
is 10 be found In this country, and even
In England, still the enancipated
woman is beginning to be a fact. In
some countries. This is notably true
of France and Italy. In the former
country short time ago women were
permitted to act as witnesses in legal
sense and to sign wills and other legal
documents They are now to be al
lowed to take part in the administra-
tion of the charities and hospitals in
Paris, being made eligible for the high
er council of the assistance publique.
This concession has been extended to
the sex who have contributed most
largely to the charitable funds, and
have taken part in house-to-house vis-
itations, after report by DR.. Napias,
who eulogized the work of women in
connection with tie administration of
charity in England and the United
States. He held up good model to
France, Miss Florence Nightingale,
and the governors of the Paris chari-
ties considered that France also could
produce Florence Nightingales If they
gave their women chance in the work
OF organization.
Women are beginning to show their
political influence in Italy. The iniiu-
ence, though great, Is not, however, al
ways apparent, for 1t IL chiefly exer-
cised indirectly and privately by the
women of the wealthier classes. In
stead of forming themselves into as
sociations and leagues, and interna-
tional unions, and organizing public
meetings and competing withpolitical
orators, the. italian women interested
in politics work quietly, and certainly
not less cfficaciously than their more
4emancipated" sisters. As a rule,
italian women work by means of the
old French expedient, the salon. In
Rome alone there are no fewer than
dozen salons devoted almost entire
" to. the discussion of political topics.
Each salon has Its own special political
color" which Is generally that of the
husband or father, or friends Of the
mistress Of the house, but, while the
thread and web Of the politics carried
on in salon is spun and woven by the
men who frequent 1t, the personal in
fiuence of the mistress Of the house
acts on each one Of her guests. modi-
