General Henry began his administra-
ton in Porto Rico by giving all the
towns and cities self-government and by
turning over i'll q great measure the
keeping of the peace to the native police
force. He has been forced summarily
to depose the Alcade and the councilmen
of many towns and to turn local gov
ernment over to army officers. Things
are strained to the swapping point. Gen
eral Henry's face took on grimness

to pick up the dead natives. IN this

permitted to remain in the vicinity, but

murder if they can.
All buildings out in the country have
white flags out. But that will not save
them, and the country people will have

II is a fine and fertile country, but the
natives have been so busy getting
ready to fight that they have neglect
ed to cultivate the land, expecting to
get rich when Manila was taken, or
some laws We're passed that would
make everybody rich, happy and con-
tented.

II Must Be Torture.

DR.. Nachtigal, the celebrated African
explorer, was the guest of rich Ham
burg merchant The merchants son, a
young man of a somewhat sentimental
temperament. said among other things
that his dearest wish was to ride across
the desert on the back of a camel He
thought such ride must be very poet
ical indeed
"My dear young friend, replied the
explorer, Il can tell you how you can
get partial idea of what riding
camel on the deserts of Africa is like
Take an Office stool. screw it up as high
as possible and put it in a wagon with
out any springs Then seat yourself on
the stool and have il driven over rocky
and uneven ground during the hottest
weather of July or August and after
you have not had anything to eat or
drink for ~ hours and then you will
get faint idea of how delightfully."-
poetic it is to ride on camel in the
wilds of Africa.

Using the Let Humid.

The superiority of japanese drawing
can probably be traced TO the custom of
that land to make the children practice
painting and drawing without the use
of any stick or supporting device for the
hand. They are taught to draw at the
same time they are taught to write the
letters of the alphabet, and they are
taught to use both hands equally in the
task.
The natural preference given to the
right arm has been explained physiolog-
ically by the construction of the veins
and nerves that enter the arms, those of
the right arm being more prominent
The reverse is the case in the few who
are naturally left handed
