Puerto Rico" or Porto Rico?" Let
us hope that uniformity will a last
prevail. 1t is not the first case of a
vexatious variation and puzzle to those
who wish to spell it correctly. 1t took
years to get rid of "Dacotah" and to
establish the spelling Dakota" The
situation with respect to our new is
land possession is that the board of
geographic names, which is supposed
to determine such matters, has decided
strongly for Puerto Rico. The Presi-
dent, it is understood, accepted the
authority of the board and adopted
its spelling. But congress has enact
ed a form of government for porto
Rico" which thus becomes the legal
name of the territory.

The experience of the French troops
in the Sahara has shown that dark
colored horses bear great atmospheric
heat much better than do those Of a
light color. A writer in Nature re-
marks that the same fact has been
demonstrated in India, and adds that
tropical animals generally have darker
coats than are found upon those liv-
ing in cold climates. Similarly the
darkest-hued races of mankind inhabit
the warmer countries.

An Artistic MilIiner.

"Hyacinths were never in great
favor" said the French milliner, who
has a wet shop but a Zig clientele, ac-
cording to the New York Commercial
Advertiser. THE pink and white ones
are charming for black hats or for
entire flower bonnets, but the blue and
purplish blue are the most popular.
Why is it? Hyacinth blues are pretty,
but no shade is more trying. Women
who should YEA shades of green and
red and rose-heliotrope come in here
and order cold-gray straw hats trim
med with blue hyacinths. They order
them but they do not get them from
me. That is why my place is still in
the side street, while Nine. Flamboy-
ant, who began when l did. is on the
avenue. Nine. F~lamboyant went in
debt at first, to be sure, but she is
famous now. l make money, oh, yes,
but am proud of all of my customers;
everyone wears becoming hats, not
merely fashionable ones" She
Strengthened out the shining petals of
a satin chou and gave a deft touch to
the cluster of clover and sweet peas
on the crumpled brim. "a young lady
came in n day last week and wanted
coral bonnet Madame 1 said, 4
cannot make it for you. You have
enough color already. You have coral
colored hair and rose-colored cheeks.
No, madame, L will not make 0 a
coral bonnet Did she grow angry?
Well, perhaps she did. 1t did not dis
tress me, assure you. l waited upon
some n elsa charming lady, who
knows that l have taste and a con-
science. When | returned to the othe7
she ~apologized and implored me to
make her a hat of another color. No,
madame l said, L do aot wish to
make you a hat. 1t would not be
artistic, and 1 do not wish to put my
name inside of inartistic hats But
you can design it YOURSELF she SAID.
All, that is better. | will undertake
the commission with pleasure | said.
h is it," and the milliner held up
a poem in green leaves, violets and
chiffon. THE pale chiffon will frame
her ro%se-colored face" she said, crit
ically, taking away from its color
becoming. The green leaves will
match her eyes, which would be beau
tiful If they were a shade darker.
They will look so when she wears
this hat. In the back, where her hair
will show, o see the chiffon and
violets are of a deeper tone. 1t will
make her hair look Titan. She thinks
1t is Titan now, but it is not. 1t is
o the tone of fresh, new carrots.
But this will deepen it. 1t is a charm
ing hat in itself, but it will make a
handsome woman of this lady, who is
what shall l say?-of-of a some
what rustic style of beauty.
"As for those hyacinths," with a
wave of the hand toward a mass of
them resting in a bed of greenery,
they are for clear compilations and
fair skins, whether blonde or brunette.
Hyacinth blue is cold and cruel. 1t
has no sympathy, no warmth. It is
unresponsive and unfeeling. The very
dark and the very fair have sufficient
decision Of type to wear it, but when
one is between the two and has not

A small school boy who had been
sent home by his teacher because his

Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, o sea!
And 1 would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
Oh well for the fisherman's boy
That he shouts with his sister at play!
Oh we'll for the sailor lad
That he sings in his boat in the bay!
And the stately ships go on,
To their haven under the hill;
But oh for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!
Break, break, break,
AT the foot of thy crags, o sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.

anything else for indigestion or biz

FOREIGN ARMY OFFICERS GOING
TO TRANSVAALL

foreigners bound for the Transvaal
These include fifty Russian ambulance
men. with Germans, Frenchmen. ItaI-
lans and Greeks. Herr Potts, the
tTrausvaal consul general here, has ar
ranged for their conveyance to Preto-
ria by a special train"

holds the road to Olivier's Hoek pass.
Johannesburg arrivals say the Boer
methods are working ruin TO the mines.
The Beers pick out the rich ore. leav-
ing the cost of further developments
to the shareholders. Stores are being
robbed wholesale. The safe deposit
vaults under the stock exchange have
been broken open and jewelry and
plate left by refugees have been ex-
tracted. Cattle are grazing in ashion-
able thoroughfares. There are still
about 1000 Uitlanders in the Transvaal.
"A letter received here from Harrt-
smith relates that three Britishers were
shot in the market square for refusing
to go to the front when commanded"
London, January 24.-Mail advices to
the Dali Mail from Lisbon, dated jan
18th says:
1t has been officially notified to the
here from LourenZo Mar
lques that the Beers have committed
a breach of neutrality by crossing Port
Iuguese territory from Umballa to
IRhodesia. A force of artillery has been
sent there from Lourenzo Marques and
the governor there has demanded re-
Inducements from here.
Everything is being carried out
with all possible secrecy, but I am in
on good authority hat a por-
ton of the troops have already start
ed for Lourenzo Marques and that 9TH
ers will follow Immediately"
This apparently indicates that the
Beers are engaged in gun running ar
men importing through Rhodesia or
perhaps are planning to take Colonel
Plumer in the flank.
