Population OF Puerto Rico.

VI is not generally realized that this
queer little parallelogram in he Carib-
bean has more than half as great a
population as the who'll of Cuba. The
population of the Hawaiian Islands is
only about tenth of that of Puerto
Rico, which is one of the most thickly
populated portions of the new world,
its total of s0s,70s lin 1887 giving over
ZIG people to the square mile. There
are just two cf the United States so
iensely settled, Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island. The average of our
northern Atlantic states is but lo7 to
he square mile. And in the aggregate
Puerto Rico has more inhabitants than
either Maine. New Hampshire. Yer
mont, Rhode Island. Connecticut, Del
aware. West Virginia, Florida or both
Oakotas or any of the states of the far
west except California. So it will be
seen that il is quite mouthful, even il

SETTLEMENTS FOR WOMEN.
English Women Try "A scheme to Add
to Their Incomes by SELL
ing Eggs, Etc

An important experiment will short
ly be made in England, with the object
of forming settlements of women in
different parts of the country for the
cultiva tion of the land, and thus en-
abling them to add to their incomes by
the sale of fruits, flowers vegetables,
poultry, eggs, honey, etc. The idea
was started by the countess of War
wick. and an institution will be opened
in connection with Reading college in
October, where they may be trained
specially for the work. II will be
founded for the de etinite purpose of en-
abling women over the age of 16 to OBJ
tain thorough training Theoretical
and practicaD in the lighter branches
of agriculture. viz: Flower and fruit
growing and packing for market, es-
pecially bush fruit. tomatoes, mush-
rooms. etc, bee and poultry keeping
and dairy work. The council OF Read
ing college has consented to provide
the necessary courses of instruction,
and to recognize the countess of War
wick's hostel a a place of residence for
wome n students. Tte full course of in
struction will extend over two years,
but those who wish to do so may join
the short courses and special classes,
1t is hoped that the inclusive fees for
instruction and board will not exceed
$3.50 year.

A SAILORS HEROIC DEED.
How an American Lighthouse Keeper
Saved a Drowning shipmate
at His own Peril.

"reminiscences of Commodore Dewey
have been almost as numerous in Maine
as stories of Rappahannock. One of the
latest has William G. Grant, the keeper
of the Matinicus light, for its hero. 1t
was on windy day in 1864 that Com
modore Dewey was executive officer
on the United States vessel Colorado, on
which William Grant was seaman.
The Colorado WIS steaming into Hamp
ton Roads, Va, towing n large boat
load of sailors, when the boat caps;zed
and in moment every one was strug-
Cling in the water. All but one, how
ever, succeeded in getting on its bottom.
He sunk.
A boat was lowered from the Colora-
do, William Grant being one OF the men
assigned to il. The men rowed with a
will and soon reached the overturned
boat and the sailors clinging to its bot
tom. They had so much headway that
the boat shot over the place where the
unfortunate man went down. Mr.. Grant
was in the bow. keeping sharp lookout
for him when he came to the surface.
As the boat moved along he looked
down into the water. which was very
clear. and plainly saw the man near the
surface.
Like flash he scrambled to the stern
of the boat and without hesitating a
second dived over the coxswain's head
for the drowning man. He calculated
just right and in moment had him by
the collar and succeeded in bringing
him to the surface. Both men were
taken into the boat, and after hard
work the half-drowned, sailor was re.
vived. The next day Dewey as execu.
tive officer called Mr.. Grant up to the
quarterback and before everyone
thanked him cordially for his bravery
in rescuing sailor.
a few years ago when Dewey. then
commodore. visited the Maine coast and
called upon Grant at Matinicus the in
cident was recalled and Commodore
Dewey again complimented Mr.. Grant.

Tho COW puncher has his big raw

Roosevelt. and apologies for the Ian

They were not ambushed. They knew
where the Spaniards were and hit
them because they wanted to. They
had not had any excitement. Life
without little scrap was intolerable.
Anything would do to liven things up a
bit. The COW punchers had not had
even a good veil since they left Ari-
zona and Oklahoma. The fight in the
tropical underground was just like a
day off in town to most of those un-
couth fellows, every one made OF
heroic stuff.
The rough riders will go into history
along with other immortal fighters

guard. Xenophon's ten thousand,
Caesars Tenth legion; and they will

benefit of few fortunate sharehold-
ers. The rural cemetery law as amend
ed in 1879, allows them TO divide among
themselves the net profits from the
sale of plots. Realizing about SEQ 900
for an acre which hardly cost $1,000,
their investments bring large revenues
and are esteemed valuable. By as
suming the guise of benevolent So

ment of taxes which their less for

The above is an extract from an
editorial on fashions" in mining
which appeared in recent num-
ber of the Mining and Scientific
Press; and while it was intended
originally to apply to the matter
of mining alone, it also applies
very fittingly to Florence. The
TRIBUNE is of the opinion that "the
fashion to go ahead" is about to be
adopted here in Florence more
generally than it has ever been be-
fore. The business men are gain

this matter prosperity" is synoni-
nous with confidence" then the

in store for our little city. The
way appears to be open for pro
