Our new island of Porto Rico. accord ing to Mr Mark ". Harrington. is "the most densely populated rural com- munity proper in America.

The Great American Hog.

The tables of exports published by the treasury department indicate a marked increase fn the exports of hog products for last month. The exports of bacon amounted to over 54,000 ,000 pounds. of hams to nearly 22,000, ,000 and of pork to over 10.0o0,o00 pounds The export of lard alone showed a slight decrease in comparison with the same period of last year. This exhibit is the more gratifying from the fact that the agitation of the agrarian ele- ment in Europe. particularly in France and Germany. is mainly directed against the American hog. While the partisan agitation is not in the interest either of the German or French people, as it deprtves them of cheap hog prod uets, it has had the support of the governments. That in spite Of 1t the export tables continue to show steady growth must be put down to the credit of the inYincIDIe American hog.-Den- yer Post.

Green Grows the Pushes, oh.r

When the Americans went to war with Mexico a melody. every verse of which ended with Green grows the rushes, oh, was very popular It pleased almost eYerybody,s fancy and was sung by old and young. While in camp the soldiers would sing it constantly and all the Mexieans could hear was Green grows the rushes. oh They immediately began to call the American soldiers by the first two words, as it sounded to them, grin goes" They made it into one word, by which they will ever know the Americans "Gringo."

First Flag Pole on the Coast.

On the highest ground of long, low hill distant about one mile to the west ward of the little town of Bodega, fn Western Sonoma county. Cal. there stands tall, somewhat deerepit red wood flagstaff. This aneient-Iooking pole is about sixty feet in height. says the San Francisco Bulletin, is bent with age and exposure, and is slowly decaying. That plain, warped old red wood fiagpole is the patriarch of all fagpoles not only in California, but on the entire Pacific slope. For 1t was the first erected to fly the banner of the Union when California and all oth- CT territory in the same latitude from the Pacific to the Rockies were taken possession Of by the United States.

Health from an Open Fireplace.

Physicians are discovering that the oId-time open fire had much 10 do with the health of our grandmothers and that steam heat and furnace heat are responsible for many ailments. Steam heat especially has a way of gradually increasing so that anyone who is used to steam-heated roon becomes an easy victim to colds and all the long string of ailments to which a cold is the introduction. An open fire is a sort of inspiration in itself, and since 1t draws in the out-of-door oxygen through all the cracks and erannies it helps to purify the air in the room while il heats it.

A Quarantine Against Cows.

A curious contest is going on in Tam pa, Fla. Residents of certain sections of the city want an exemption made of their part of the city, so that cows may graze in the streets. Other residents do not want this. and the fight is a lively one. the city administration be- ing the sufferer. So many depredations have been made recently by COWS run ming at large in the streets that the irate residents and owners of lawns and flower gardens have organized a shotgun quarantine against the COWS and declare that they are going to mur- der some of them if they are not kept locked up.

The building is in a fair state of preservation and is referred to with a pardonable pride by the people of the little town.
