A COMPLAINT FROM PORTO RICO.
APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE IN THE ISLAND
CRITICISED.


A letter received by business OF this city
from a merchant in San Juan. Porto Rico. makes
the following complaint against the policy OF
Government in making appointments 10 Off .e5 ,
the island:
The Government OF the Republic, being under
the impression that the native Porto Rlcans have
no aptitude for home rule, has, In order 70 test
their abilities, given them the Foraker bill. For
the appointments which have, however, been made
for the Executive Council, where the natives could
have shown their qualifications, not native kss
been selected.
But this is not all they have been subjected to.
Several foreigners non-natives are at present
holding important offices. the detrtInent Of the
natives, this latter circumstance being sufficient
reason have all non-nativeS wtthdr Nv from
public offices especially the bill clearly intends
that only natives and Americar-born citizens shall
be appointed, not persons who were not born in
Porto Rico
Such Is the letter and spirit of the bill per
Sections IS and 40 and 1t Is but just and rational
We therefore ask that only natives and Ameri-
can-born citizens be appointed to hold public
offices. and that all those not having these aualih
cations be at withdrawn. We await the
prompt action of the Government.

Fish Know Their KeenerA.

Many of the fish in the Aquarium
in New York City have learned to
know their keepers and will crowd to
the rail when they pass. Some of
them will take food from no other
persons. A few of them eat from one
of the keepers hands. Among these
are the trunk fish, so called because
they are inside. The animal swims
about incased in stout, bony box, as
impervious to attacks as the skin of q
politician. It has no neck and no dis
tinct backbone. The fish lies inside

bugle-hke snout into its interior IS

flesh is a delicate pink. The natives
of Bermuda like it very much, and
they make no bones of it's cousin, the
cowfsh. They roast them both on
hot stones in their own dripping pans,-
SO to speak, and serve them with a
mallet. The trunk fish is really more
the shape of satchel. His tail pro-
iects like a rudder, and he merely
steers with it, sculling along with his
stubby fins and big, bony sides like q
man -of-war propelled by paddles. Tho
cowfsh has the same peculiarities,
but is equipped also with set Of
horns. The unwary monster of the

A Reautfful Fiah.

The parrotfish is gorgeous object
in O somewhat coarser mold, with the
portly and uncompromising beauty OF
u well-preserved dowager. He gets
his name from his beak and his green
tunic. His appearance suggests rich
dish of emerald porcelain. There are
two specimens, both males, in the
Aquarium in New York City, and every
day they enact tank drama depicting
the universal struggle of nature. The
smaller of the two lives in perpetual
fear of his bullying companion. The
latter keeps him in hiding in coral
grotto, while he promenades inso-
lently around him, the terror of tho
tank. His victim has protuberant
eyes with which he is constantly glan-
cling behind him. His appearance
would indicate that he was growing
tired of life. Each male will eat out
of the hand of one of the keepers.
Their diet IS soft-shell clans, which
they mash, shell and all, in their jaws.
FragiIe as their parrot-like bills ap'
pear, they are able to snap off finger
in trice.

Queer Chinese Bedrooms.

Chinese ideas of comfort are moth
ing short of startling to luxury loving
Americans. The Chinese bedrooms,
even in the homes of the we'll tO-do,
present many features which would
be unendurable to an American or Eu-
ropean.
A Chinese bedchamber has no win
dows, is poorly ventilated and dark in
consequence, and is usually no larger
than cupboard. The wooden bed
stead has no springs, nor does a mat
tress soften the hard boards. Usually
a wadded quilt suffices.
For pillows there are hollow square
frames of bamboo or rattan, or often
just a block of wood of the right shape
to fit into the nape of the neck and
give support to the head.
The furniture of the bedroom is OF
the simplest. 1t usually includes. how
ever. an opium smoking outfit, even il
the occupant be not a confirmed smo
ker. Any apparatus designed to facil
itate washing is considered superf1u

There is one homely old motto that
is going laundering down the corri-
dors of time and which will continue
to echo while all things are, and that
IS, Shoemaker, stick to your last. :"
Mistaken application is probably re-
sponsible for more misfortune than
any other known agency. The good
actor who makes POOR manager, the
successful merchant who achieves dis
aster in the speculative channel, the
man with the qualifications necessary
to tit him for an enviable mercantile
life and the mistaken ambition to
grace one of the professions, these
are few instances of such everyday
occurrence as to attract little passing
comment. The pursuit that is founded
on fallacy sometimes succeeds, be-
cause all things are possible, but it
more often fails. AS an earlier scan
ner of men and things so tersely put

ahead" and he might have added,
"And don't stray into any side path

One OF the strangest stories pub
llshed lately was that in the New York
Herald wherein the Paris special
cable told of the locomotive that lost
itself. A charming writer of fact and
hctlon, who was once an American
locomotive engineer, has told of the
locomotive that fell into a Colorado
stream and was forever buried in the
quicksand. This author felt that his
narrative would not be credited on
his wn representations and fortified
1t with letters from the railway au-
thorltles, who vouched for all he said.
The Paris story, however, throws the
American narl 1tive into the shade.
Here was not only a locomotive but a
whole train that unaccountably got
Oft on to the wrong track and went
many miles before the error was dis
covered. This is not the tale of q

Half a Vote Allowed,

The Fulton county Republicans, who
met in Atlanta to select delegates to
the district and state conventions, re-
tanned Jackson McHenry as chairman
of the county executive committee,
and A. A. Blake as secretary. A
somewhat unique and unusual pro-
ceeding was the election of twelve del
egates to the state convention, which
meets in Atlanta in March. Fulton
county is only entitled to six dele
gates, but so many were anxious to
represent the county at the state con-
vention that it was decided to elect
twice the number needed and allow
each delegate half vote.
