las classes proletarias.
En- vista de los p6simas condolences que
reunen las viviendas de ests ciudad, donde se
aglomera gran numero-de veoinos que habitan
ouartuchos ino6modos y estrechos, faltos do luz
y ventilaci6n, tratAbase de construir una exten-
80 barriada en- Puerta de TIERS, frente Ia oar
Gel en- ell sitio que hoy ocups ell cementerio
El General Henry ofreci6 ceder gratis el
terreno

oapace., higienioas y baratss, oonstruidas de
ladrillo, con piso de MADEIRA, techumbrs de te :
jamanil, con espaoio sufoiente para jardin Il
hortalisa delante de Ia fachads, para oooina
lavadero en- la parte de atr4e.
Tres mil ipdividuos podrfan aoomodarse
en- quinientas habitaoiones, con dos oomparti-

Los orartos de las eequinas destinarfanse
estableoimientos pubicos, mas adelante sc
levs ntarfan oasas de dos pisos para familias
aoomodadas.
Como se ve el proyeoto era hermoso, y Is
prensa, deade luego, le presto su concurso gu
apoyo.
ContAbase con que varias oompaffas anne
ricanas solicitarfan la confession de las obrae,
case de que al Ayuntsmiento de San Juan, por
la eacasez de sus recursos, no le fuera dable
acometerias.
Pero transourri6 el tempo; 80 prooedi6 al

Hoy que, en- vfsperas de eleooiones, los

THE MALEVOLENT PIANO.
1t Has Wrecked Friendships as Well n,
Health.

1t Has Wrecked Friendships as Well rs
Health.
The piano has been the causa teter-
rima of quarrels that have sundered
ancient friendships. it has wrecked
many enterprises of great pith and mo-
ment, says the British Medical Jour-
nal 1t has disturbed the finer adjust
ments of the cerebral machinery in
many literary and scientific workers,
has driven studious men from .ueir
books to the bottle, and has stimu-
lated peaceable citizens to the commits
sion of violent assaults. These are
among the evil effects of the piano, con-
sidered passive, as the school men
would say-from the point of view of
the sufferer. But the operator does
not come off scathless. A recent writ
er, DR.. Whetzhold, thinks that the
chloroses and neuroses from which so
many young girls suffer may be attrib-
uted largely to the abuse of the piano.
He therefore urges that the deadly
custom of compelling young girls to
hammer on the keyboard before they
are Is or 16 years of age should be
prescribed by public opinion. Even at
that age the exercise should be per-
nitted only to those who, in addition
to real talent, possess a robust consti-
tuition.

No Good Posting the Letter.

1t was on the sailing day of one of
the big Cunard liners, says London
Tit-Bits. The usual tears had been
shed, the usual farewells had been
spoken, and slowly the giant vessel be-
gan to move through the water Then,
as is quite customary, those upon the
tender and the voyagers upon the boat
began to remember things that they
ought to have said before, and howled
the same across the rapidly widening
stretch of water. On the tender stood
a tall, spare woman who had been in
dustriously waving a pale blue hand
kerchief. "O-o-o-oh, Henry" she sud-
denly shrieked to a stout little man on
the rear deck, who had been waving a
second blue handkerchief back at her,
did you post that letter?' ''No-o-o,'
howled the stout little man in reply;
I'll post it in New York" Never
mind, Henry" responded the other, sit
was only to the butcher, tellin' him
never to send up another steak like
the last one"

months. She opened her big blue eyes
and smiled up at me. From that mo-
ment l loved the child and decided to
keep her. In the bottom Of the basket
we found a scrap of paper with the
words: You will not be expected to
keep the child for nothing, for a re-
mittance will be sent you every
month We searched the basket for
the letter that the man had spoken
about, but we could not find it, and
concluded he must have meant the
note, though that did not explain much
to be sure. That child was you, Elsie,
and my only regret is that I do not
know who your parents WERE

Thank God" she murmured, as he
slasped her in his arms.
One day, about a year after Arthur

She was very pleased to see Lieut..
Kingsley She came forward with her
ring hand extended. She was only
little creature, but she had the knack
of being very dignified when it pleased
her to be so. This always sent Val
into a fright and now he wished ne
had gone and drowned himself rather
than have come.
He sat on the edge of the chair to
which Maisie politely pointed, oppo-
site her, and she thought, whimsical
ly, of Oliver Twist.
Mamma was out shopping. She her
self had a headache and thought she
would remain at home and rest. Was
it true that he was ordered abroad at
go so suddenly.
Val broke out, just as he might
have been expected to do.
''Maisie," he said, leaning forward,
and half looking as if he intended to
hypnotic her.
Maisie gazed at him quietly, with
quick change to haughtiness in her
face. Vars heart sank. He knew lit
tie of women's nature, least of all,
very likely, of Maisie's. He guessed
nothing of what had been passing in
her soul these two years, nor why
nor how it Is that a woman resents
not being taken by storm when she is
willing, money or no money. He did
not know that that quick look Of pride
was just poor little Maisie's revenge
for his past cowardice. But he went
on with his task.
And a nice mess he had made out
of it by the time he had done. When
he went away he remembered hardly
anything of what he had said, beyond
dwelling at some length on his own
position and her money. But the
strange way she looked at him when
they wished good-by, and how she
gave him the tips of her fingers, was
burnt into his soul.
He was as pale as death when he
got home. He took his coat and vest
off and then went to a drawer. 1t was
beautiful little thing, he thought, as
he examined it carefully and capable
of doing its work surely and swiftly.
He placed the weapon on the table,
handy. Then he scratched away at
letter after letter for about an hour.
When he had done he rose, took up
the revolver and toyed with it. Then
there came a sharp rap at the door.
It was Walker, with a note for him.
A glance at the superscription sent
his white cheeks red as flame.
The note inside the envelope ran:
Dearest Val: Are we not quite
misunderstanding each other? Come
and see me at once. Forgive me. 1
did not mean to treat you so. (Your
own If you wilD MA1S1E."
The dainty missive dropped from
Walls fingers, his hands went into his
pockets once more, and he found him
self. looking at his image in the glass.
Perhaps he meant to call himself more
names. Perhaps he was trying to
think Of something new in swear
words. If so it was a failure. He
could only mutter, after long ST.
lence:
Heavens! That was a near thing"
