IN PORTO RICO.

In 1882, Flinter, in his book on Porto
Rico entertainingly shows the prod
uct of one mans labor for a year in
raising plantains. He can cultivate
eighteen acres, growing 1855 plants
which will bear annually, allowing
twenty-five plantains to a shoot and
three shoots to tree, 800, 625 plantains
or enough food for 244 men for one
year, allowing them each ten PLAN
tains day; or they will bring in mon
ey, selling them at the then lowest
market-price, 1872 for a dollar, S4639.
He further calculates that this amount
will pay for the land at 500 an acre,
buy oxen and horses for cultivating,
and two slaves at 500 each, and still
leave net profit of $1479 on the cap
ital invested. The changes necessary
in his figures to meet the conditions of
today are rather in the growers favor.
Land may be had for $50 to SIS an acre
and free labor at about 5000 a year;
the product, on the whole, will sell for
more If the larger varieties are culti-
waited, as they bring about fifty cents
for punches six to eight hands high in
the market at Mayaguez; and allowing
single full bunch to a tree in place
of the possible three, the grower would
receive about $4,000. The factor of
transportation, which Flinter does
not calculate, must be allowed for, and
will materially reduce the profit

HEAD OF A NUMEROUS FAMILY
John Chandler Is Father. Grandfn-
ther and Grent-Grandfather
80 Ig3 Persons,

To be the head of a family of 162 per
sons is record seldom falling to the
lot of man. But such is the case with
John Chandler, who resides in Allen
county, Ky.
This gentleman is the father of 20
children, 81 of whom are now living
and have families. These 81 children
have an average of five children to each
family, thus making Mr.. Chandler the
grandfather of los persons But this
is not the full extent of his offspring,
for he has IS great-grandchildren. So
II will be seen that Mr.. Chandler stands
paterfamilias of l62--an achievement
rarely equaled,
Mr. Chandler is a remarkable man
in several other respects. Although
IS years of age, and residing in the hills
of Allen county. he reads current liter
AZURE and keeps himself informed on
the leading topics of the day. He is an
expert rifle shot, and spends a great
deal Of his time squirrel hunting.

EXPERT MULE DENTISTRY.
Dentist That Operates on Twenty-four
Animals Day.

A Mexican mining company which
owns 800 mules keeps a dentist on its
staff simply to look after the mules
teeth.
One of Mr. Mules amiable weak
nesses is the habit of boiling his food,
which frequently causes dyspepsia and
other diseases. This boiling is not
caused by desire to hasten his meal,
but because his molars, or back teeth,
having more work to perform than his
front teeth, wear away in the course of
few years, and become much shorter
than the front ones, thus allowing the
food to pass into the stomach without
being properly masticated. In cases
of this kind the incisors, or front
teeth, have to be filed down an eighth
or quarter of an inch.
The molars of a mule are 31s inches
in length, while the incisors measure
212 inches, and, judging from his signs
of pain, the nerves are as sensitive
as those of human beings. An expert
dentist operates on twenty four mules
a day
The extracting instruments are from
to feet in length, and the entire
case of instruments weighs fully fifty
pounds. The teeth of every mine
mule are examined and treated, if nee
essary, once or twice a year. San
Francisco Chronicle.
