CENSUS OF PORTO RICO.
Bulletin Just Issued Places Population
at $50, 243.

Washington, June 1~9.-Inspector-
General J. P. Sanger, director of the
census Of Porto Rico, has issued bull
letin No. l. giving itemized statements
of the population of the island accord
ing to the census taken October 10th
last. The population of the island, as
shown by that census. was 953, 243,
about nine-tenths of the population of
the state of Maryland in 1890.
From 1860 to 1877 the percentage of
increase in Porto Rico was 1924; from
1877 to 1887, was GA per cent, and
from 1877 to 1889 was 1920 per cent.
The present rate of increase is about
the same as that of Ohio, Tennessee
or the Carolinas between the decade
of 1880 and 1890.
Among the sixty-nine municipal dis
%tricts, into which the departments are
divided, seven decreased in population
between 1887 and 1890. As all of them
lie on the coast, the bulletin says, the
coast. districts as a whole may have
grown more slowly than the interior
of the island.
The area of the island, including the
adjacent islands of Vicques, Gu
ebra, Munica and Muertos, measured
in connection with the census, is 1905
square miles. but, owing to the imper-
feet surveys on which maps of Porto
Rico are based, there must be consid-
cradle and indeterminate margin Of
possible error in any such measure
ment- The island is about three times
the size of Long Island.
There are 264 persons to the square
mile, the density of population being
about the same as in Massachusetts.
twice that in New York and thrice that
in Ohio. 1t is more than seven times
that of Cuba. The least settled dis
trict has ffty-eight persons to the
square mile.
The people of the island are in the
main a rural community, San Juan,
with 32,04S, and Ponce, with 81, 1852, be-
ing the only cities exceeding $4,000 in
habitants. There are in the island
twenty-seven towns having a popula-
ton of 1000 or more, the total urban
population under this definition num-
bering 203, 1872, or 21.4 per cen of the
total.

A downtown tailor who charges

of it he has had work enough to keep
his employees busy all winter, says the

When one was finished I dropped a
note to a man whom I knew it would

which I thought would suit him. He
came around promptly and bought 1t
for $65. I would have made him the
same coat to order early in the sea-

order a coat have bought coats which
they have thought were insists, but
which, in reality, were made after their
own measurements. Each Of these
customers has felt that I was doing
him a favor in notifying him of the

In battle 1t is not the number of
men who are disabled In the course OF
a days fight that tell upon the morale
of troops, but 1t Is the losses which
may be incurred within a comparative
ly short time hat tend to demoralize
and unnerve them. For example, a
corps Of 20, 900 men may lose in a days
fight 10. 000-one-half its number
without being d~emoralized, but should
they lose one-flfth of their number
say from three to four thousand men
in the course Of half an hour, their
morale would surely be destroyed. The
British military operations, especially
their battle tactics, have been freely
and even virulently criticized by the

With the Eyes of Faith.

Some idea of amateur photography
as it was in its early days may be
gathered from an incident which the
late Bishop Walsham How confded to
his note book. Before he became a
bishop he used to call together the
old men Of the parish on New Years
day, and on one occasion he displayed
to his guests a photograph Of two old
men who had long worked at the rec
tory. They were photographed IN
their working clothes, one with a
spade and the other holding a little
tree as If about to plant it.. a very
deaf old man, Richard Jones. took the
photograph in his hands. and looking
at it said: Beautiful! Beautiful"
So the rector shouted: who are they,
Richard?" why" he said. "its
Abraham offering up Isaac to be sac
rifced!" The rector tried to undeceive
him, and as the old men who had been
photographed were sitting opposite
him, he said: You'll see them before
you II you'll look up" Richard
smiled serenely but all he said was:
Yes. yes. l sees EN- before me-by

The Singhalese children are said to
be more beautiful than those Of any
other race on the four continents, and
some of the little girls. even Of the
very lowest caste, are irresistibly
pretty as they run before you in the
streets to beg; they cry out in the
sweetest and most plaintive of voices,
touching the stomachs to signify hun
ger in a way that would be awkward
and vulgar in any other being, but in
them 1t is so winsome that, before you
know 1t, you sacrifice a rupee to the
bad cause of encouraging them in beg

want is a good opportunity to pick

ADVICE FOR WOMEN.
Temper May Begin by STANDING Up for
tights.

An exchange has lately published an
article on THE Girl with a Temper"
which contains some excellent advice
and will bear repetition. When a
daughter not only begins to show de-
cided signs of temper, but is inclined
to boast that 4 am not one of your
nambly-pambly girls, who cannot stand
up for her rights it is time to convince
her of her folly, or she will reap last
ing discomfort later. If the woman
with an unrestrained temper is young
and beautiful, much may be forgiven
her. In her amiable moments she is
so charming that the words uttered in
her unreasonable anger are almost for
gotten, and the chances are that she
will plunge some man into lifelong mis-
cry, because the habit of tempestous
fits, IL not firmly checked In time, will
strengthen with the years. II the wo-
she will render life very dreadful for
herself. but not necessarily so for
many other people. Her relations and
friends will learn in time to shut her
out from their intimate counsels-to
form a life for themselves toward
whose outer circle she will recede by
degrees, and In the end will stand
alone. The woman with a temper is
seldom well educated. She has not the
concentration and calm Of mind which
lead 70 the acquisition Of knowledge.
She may possess a share of accomplish
ments, may be a little musical, a little
artistic, may pass muster among the
superficial, but the chances are against
her possessing the restful knowledge
that comes of thoroughness. Then be-
ware of the girl who boasts of her
spirit If you would later avoid the
companionship Of that very undesir-
able personage-'the woman with a
temper"

RESULTS MAY BE SERIOUS.
United States Laws Violated by the
British Steamer Alpha.

Seattle, Wash, June 19.-The viola
ton of United States laws by the Brit
ish steamer Alpha, in landing passen-
gers and cargo at Cape Nome with
out entrance or payment of customs
duties may lead to serious results. One
Of the first features of the affair was a
stormy interview between Captain
Bucholtz of the Alpha and Captain Ma
son of the American steamer Jeanne,
while both vessels were at Nome. Ma
son called Bucholtz a pirate and a
smuggler and applied other epithets to
express his disgust with such disregard
of customs and regulations.
In an interview here today District
Attorney Gay expressed the opinion
from information at hand that the AL
pha is liable to seizure and forfeiture
whenever she may be found in Ameri-
ca. Mr.. Gay, however, has had no Off
cial news of the affair. o.

LIFE GRADUALLY UENGTHENING.
Recent statistics prove hat the aver
age health and length of life of human
beings have grown stronger and long
er with the years. In the fifteenth CEN
fury, there was not to be found a man
or oma over sixty years VI age. 1t
is clearly demonstrated that the change
for the better has been brought about
by modern ideas and methods. One
of the agents which has been most in
strumental in preserving life is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Thousands
have died from stomach and digestive
disorders, who might have survived
had they resorted to the Bitters. 1t is
the greatest of known tonics for stom-
ach and digestive organs. 1t cures dys-
pepsia, indigestion and constipation,
and has done SO for the past fifty years.
There is nothing to equal It.
