Why should woman in fulfilling her
manifest destiny lose the beauty which is
also Natures gift? Why should she be
subject to such aches and pains as wear
the nerves and waste the body
Natures answer to such questions is that
there is no why for the sufferings of
the majority Of women, that there is no
reason in nature why they should not go

The governor general has to direct the
soldiers in all parts of Porto Rico. He
has the general supervision of nearly
everything that goes on, although there
are some things which are practically in
dependent of him.
Among these are the postoff1ces, which
are under the postmaster general at
Washington. l have spent some time in
studying Uncle Sans mail here. The
postal service is as we'll managed as any
new thing on the island. The larger cities
now have American postmasters and the
clerks of the money order department,
who are to be found all over the island,
are almost all Americans. Some of the
postmasters are from Washington city,
some from Texas and a number from In
diana, Ohio, New York, West Virginia,
California and other states.
While the postal system Is directed
from Washington, 1t is run to certain
extent Independent of the department
there.
We have in fact a postoffice department
in miniature in Porto Rico The island
has an independent money order office,
an independent dead letter office and a
special system of postal inspectors. The
head of the service is Capt w. II. Elliott,
of Indiana, who was formerly connected
with the navy, but who came here at the
close of the war to organize the service.

arrest, examine witnesses and state that
offenders must be tried by the court. He
can settle also minor civil matters. Above
this is a third court called the audiencla,
the judges of which pass upon the GRIM

below. The highest court is the supreme
court, which meets hefe=~at r-San4-auan
This has six judges, and it finally settles
all ordinary cases Altogether, the courts

alone. They should be reorganized on
the plan of our American courts, as pro-
posed by the insular commission. Ameri-'

THE GOVERNOR GENERAL.
But let me tell you something of our
government here as 1t now exists. we.
are using these Porto Rican officials, but
over them are the soldiers sent down by
the war department, Gen. George b. Da-.
Wis is military governor of Porto @Rtco..
AS such he has autocratic power. He can;
really do more than the president himself,
as far as his immediate surroundings are
concerned. He has the army here to
carry out his commands and he can make
all sorts of civil regulations. Gen. Henry,
as it seemed to many, stretched the limit
in this regard. He tried to fix the price
of bread, issued an order regulating mar
riages and rode around like a little tin
god on wheels, He has. the prestige. of
being a great soldieri zbutfitAs question
of whether he succeeded we'll as a civil
| administrator. s-:sss.-
The governorship of Porto Rico is by no
means a bad place to have. San Juan is
| a beautiful city and one of the pleasant
| est homes in Uncle Sans dominion. The
military governor has the palace which
was formerly occupied by the captains
| general during the Spanish regime. The
| palace is building of three stories. 1t Is,
with its wings, about as large as the
| White house. 1t has a garden filled with
| beautiful flowers and its windows COM
! mand magnificent views of the ocean and
| harbor. The house is very comfortably
| furnished and it's large parlors are we'll
| adapted to entertaining.
| The governor general has also a sum-
mer home, rent free, at Rio Piedras This
is one of the suburbs of San Juan. The
i house was the property of the Spanish
| government and was occupied by the cap
| tain general when he wished to get out OF
| the city. 1t has perhaps the finest gar

dred miles is successful, will the very
next step be a stride across the Atlantic?'
Undoubtedly it will"
"And if the new modification of the sys-
tenn works we'll for a few hundred miles
would it take long to adapt it to the whole
distance of 5000 miles?"
I'VE can't tell until the actual test is
made, but according to theory the instru-
! ments could send messages across the At
lantic without any great change"
could you prepare them for the test in
two months?"
81 see no reason why it would take
longer than that
"And so it is actually within the bounds
of possibility that a wireless message
may be sent across the Atlantic as early
as next spring.?
even so, unless some different means
is required to find q message sent from
so great a distance"
1t used to be said when wireless te-
legraphy across the Atlantic was talked
of vaguely that the cost of generating
the prodigious power required to shoot
the current over in the right direction
would be prohibitive, but if the new
modification of the system does what is
expected of it, 1t is estimated that the
cost of transatlantic service would be
scarcely more than double the cost of
whose uttermost limit has been sixty
two miles; and after the installation it
is expected that 1t will cost no more
to send a message than it does now.
1t was also supposed that to send a
message across the Atlantic the current
would have to leave the wires from a
balloon anchored 1000 feet above the sea
level, and would have to be received at
a corresponding height. Marconi ex-
perimented upon that theory for awhile,
and got the balloons down from 1000
to 1000 feet, but even that sounded
rather fantastic, for balloons are way
ward things, and experiments were be-
gun in another direction. We shall
know next winter how successful the
new idea is when put to the test.

fance. The war office has also been
using the system to send messages be-
tween the camps at EPSON Downs and
Aldershot, twenty-seven miles apart.
The messages were sent back and forth
with surprising distinctness, and it was
made impossible for any intervening sta
ton to intercept them. The results
were reported by experts to the war Of
fee, and 1t is said that the Marconi sys-
tenn is to be adopted officially as means
of conveying orders from corps to corps,
thus doing away with the necessity Of
war balloons and making it impossible
for the enemy to interfere with COM
munication by cutting or tapping wires.
The possibilities of the system in war
time are extended by the demonstration
Of the fact that messages could be sent
between such places as the South Fore
land lightship and the Dover town hall,
between which are not only twelve miles
of sea, but four miles of solid cliffs,
through or over which the current had
to pass. The dots and 'dhshes went
through the rock as easily as they had
travelled over sea. Curtis Brown.

sages between her majesty's vessels. The
station at which you can most often
find him of late has been at Poole
Harbor, on the Dorsetshire coast, where
he has his pole and wires in front Of
the hotel on the beach. His movements
are complicated by the fact that he is
in great demand socially. The Prince
of Wales invited him to come aboard
the royal yacht Osborne at the time
he was laid up with an injured knee
and established communication between
the yacht and Cowes Bay and the queen

that enterprise made firm friends of the

The young Italian does not resemble

he is regular with his meals and does

1t may be matter of some wonder
where the young man gets the thousands
of dollars that are required for his ex-

the principles and means of biography
and telephony are so much alike, the
advance made in telegraphing without
wires shows the way for a similar adj

charged with stealing an empty bag, had

THE COSTLY COCK FIGHT.
One of the queerest cases was that of

that Vegas had loaned the owner of the
cock a dollar and half and had taken
the cock as security. While holding it as
such he had put the cock in the ring to
fight neighbours cock, and in the fight
it was killed The owner of the cock
then made charges against Vegas, and
