BAKED BEANS EXPRESS TRAIN.

Your true Bostonian who is forced
to exist in New York has little to CON-
fort him in his exile.
There is only one solace to his cup
of bitterness, and that is his Sunday
morning breakfast. And as he sits
down complacently to this one meal
of all the week which reminds him OF
home he offers up fervent prayer OF
thanksgiving for two mercies. One is
that he is still a Bostonian, and the
other is for the baked bear train.
The baked beans train comes rolling
into the Grand Central depot in New
York every Sunday morning at about
6 O'Clock. 1t comes in every other
morning, to be sure but only on Sun
days does it possess any special signifi-
canoe. There is always an express
car attached, but on week days it is
filled with a miscellaneous cargo.
Not SO on Sunday mornings. Then
there is a penetrating aroma, which
comes from stacks and stacks of fresh
ly baked beans in pots. They are con-
signed to an enterprising purveyor in
New York, who covers a regular route
with a number Of delivery wagons.
Within two hours after the train comes
in the contents of the express car have
been distributed.

PORTO-RICAN ORANGES AND LEM
ONS.

There are two varieties of oranges
which are indigenous to the soil and
grow wild in the dense thiekets, yield
ing, under unfavorable conditions,
heavy crops of fruit. The only orange
grove cultivated as such of which the
writer has any knowledge consisted
of fifteen acres of trees, and is near
Maguez. 1t is customary to let all
young plants live where they spring
up, in the shade of the coffee planta
tons, in the fence-rows, and on the
road-sides, no particular attention be-
ing paid them beyond the harvesting,
perhaps, of what remains of the crop
after the wandering poor have en-
joyed many a luscious globe stoned
from the branches. There grows an
other variety of orange in the island,
which Is bitter-sweet when green,
known by the natives as "naranja"
(the Spanish name of orange), in con-
tradistinction to the sweet green or
ange called chino" The trees differ
slightly, in that the naranja has sup
Elementary heart-shaped pendant on
the end of each leaf. What veritable
paradise this land will be for the
American orange-grower who carries
with him his often bitter experience
and careful methods Of cultivation,
gained in the sandy wastes of Florida!
The thin-skinned lemon is not indig
enous to Porto Rico; there Is, however,
a small citron which looks like an i'm
mense lemon, with a rind nearly half
an inch thick, which cracks open as
the fruit yellows. 1t is rather dry, and
not very sour, and the juice Is used
with sugar and water as a beverage.
The rind is highly aromatic and has an
economic value. There are no draw
backs to future lemon culture, the soil
and the climate of the mountain up
lands being very suitable. Sweet lem
ons with 5itter-sweet taste grow very
profusely in several sections, though
they are seldom gathered, unless 1t be
to make from them sort Of conserve,
or to use them incidentally, since they
are considered of some therapeutic value
in malarial fevers.-Harper's Weekly.

COFFEE CULTURE IN PORTO RICO.
What it Costs to Secure Paying Plan
tation.

Coffee raising ranks second as an i'll,
oustry in Porto Rico, bringing wage
into the pockets of thousands of earn
ers and substantial profits to the eof-
fers of the plantation owner and ex-
porter. Besides the assured income
from well-planted coffee plantation,
the life of the planter and owner has
many desirable features which recon-
mend it as an occupation to be fol-
lowed by the American investor.
First, coffee must needs be raised in
the higher altituues of the picturesque
rolling hills, and on the faces or the
steep mountainous inclines which fin
ish upward in sharp zigzagging narrow
ridges, thus giving him a healthful,
cool place of residence, away from the
hot lowlands and fever country of the
coast. Second, in the hills and mount
aims living springs for uncontaminated
water supply are found, and, at the
worst, he has always at hand the cool
er, frothing, oashing torrents of the
rock-bound mountain streams from
which to draw crystalline water.
Third, and perhaps most important, no
great technical training is required to
raise coffee successfully, as is the case
with raising sugar or tobacco.
Fourth, the life is an easier one for
the proprietor-which is no small fac
tor in torrid zone, where excessive
activity is sure to bring on fever in the
case of the unacclimated-in that he
travels in the shade Of the forest which
shelters his coffee trees from the hol
sun, as he makes his overseeing tours
and works under cover where th'
pulpy berry Is changed into the I'm
ished and polished bean of commerce.
Good coffee land ranges in price
from $50 to $500 an acre, depending
upon location and the topography
the site, and again whether 1t be vir
gin soil or in crop of varying age, tn,
highest price being asked for five-year-
old full-bearing trees, near the great
military highways, within easy hauling
distance OF coast shipping centers.
1t may be said that $500 is 4 fictitious
value for any coffee plantation, aud
that the owner naming such a pr.ce
is usually a Spaniar1, filled with de-
