HOME LIFE IN PORTO RICO.
Survival of the FIttezt i1 House Fur- niahInE Follows Experience In
 UnpIeasant Features.

To one unaccustomed to tropical con- ditions, the furnishing of the Porto Rican home would at first sight seem meager, but it is quite ample, says Hsrper's Bazar. A short residence will demonstrate that nearly 5G0 years of experience with the unpleasant fea- lures of life in the West Indies have been crowned by a survival of the ft- fest in furnishing as in ether matters.
 Austrian bent-wood furniture and willow ware constitute the main equip ment of the parlors and living rooms. Upholstered furniture is unknown and Hndesired, little or no attempt being made at decoration. except in the mat ter of embroidery and fine handmade lace work. Hundreds of yards of cro= cbet work are used in the embel,ish- ment of a single canopied bed. The work is the chief delight of the Porto Rcan housewife.
 The walls are for the most part bare, but here and there painting of merit may be seen. The sofa pillow is one of the great features of the home: it is everywhere, in every conceivable size, shape and material. Ferns of gigantic size and exquisite formation. as well as broad-spreading palm leaves. are used to festoon the walls and arched door ways. Cut fresh from day to day. they render the dark, cool rooms inviting and attractive. Potted tropical plants in great variety abound within and without the house.

Bow its stubborn flow frets the stormy Southern sea! No wonder that the early navigators doubling the cape outward bound. and fearing to go south. believed that some Enthinksbie demon held sway over those wild waves. The passage Of Cape Horn from east to west holds the bad eminence to-day among seafarers of being the most difficult in the world, but what the outward passage around the Cape of Storms must have been before men learned that it was possible to avoid tie stream of the Agu!Ras cur rent .1y going few degrees south we of these later days cansoDly imagine.

DANGER IN 4 FOX BITE.
i. An English BarOnet's Son Was Bittcr and Died of Blood Poi-

blood poisoning frequently occurs in cases of wounds from the teeth or claws of animals, especially those that feed wholly or in part on putrid flesh, and it is easy to understand that, in fhe cases Of such species as eat only game of their own killing. there must be, traces of their feasts. in the shape of slreds of animal matter. left ad- herring to their claws and teeth to decay and become poisonous in time 1t is for this reason that few nIeN who have been "mauled'-as the Eng fish express it-by lions or tigers ever recover from their injuries. Arguing along the same lines, it is possible that the number of deaths on record from the bite of the western skunk, or "hydrophobia cat" may be trace able to blood poisoning rather than the rabies. The skunk seems to have mania for biting people, but in this respect he is not unique. The com mon house rat where allowed to be- come overbold from their numbers, frequently nibbles at the fingers. ears or toes of sleepers in dark rooms. But rats are not wholly carnivorous by na- ture and in consequence there is less danger in their bites. The eldest son of Sir Pryse Pryse-a fox-huGt:ng baronet of Cardiganshire.

ADVICE TO woMET DOCTORS.
Chinese Minister Says They Should Go eO the Orient and Learn
 Medicine.

Wu Ting Fang, the new Chinese min ister to the United States, is veritable genius. Besides being accomplished ill Chinese literature, and q. statesman of rare ability, he is linguist and a phil osopher. says a Washington exchange. He was the principal attl action at the recent commencement of the Woman's s Medical college in Philadelphia. and, of course. was set down for speech. Since I came to this country" he said, "I have met women doctors, lawyers and journalistic, but until I received the invitation to make this address it had never occurred to me the women had advanced sa far as to have an in- stitution exclusively devoted to the training of women for the medical pro- fession.
 ''I am particularly interested in this institution, because of the Chinese girl, who, after studying here. returned to her native land, where she has since made great success. h China it is generally believed that there is one sphere for women and another for men The world has acted upon this belleT for ages. I am glad that women have gained such position in the medical profession that they cannot be re- moved.
 There are medical works in the Chi nese language containing medical knowledge gained from the experience and practice of long ages It is great pity that this contribution of k-.owl- edge cannot be available to the whole world because of the great diffe renee in language. The Chinese attach great value to the practice of medicine. If the good people of the European ua- tions and of America had sent only med ical missionaries to China, missionary troubles woulG happen rarely. If you were to ask my advice today, young ladies, I should say with Horace Gree ley: Go west, young lady stop not on this side of. the Pacific, but go un- til you arrive in China. Go to China if you find this country too crowded in your profession. There is room enough and work enough there for all. :"

GRANULAR EYELIDS.
4 Disease That May Be Easily Con- tracted Through COntaEIOn,
 and How.

This is-a very distressing and often
 serious form of conjunctivitis, or in- ] hammation of the mucous membrane covering the eyeball and the lids. As its name implies, it is usually confined
 to the membrane which lines the lids;
 but 1t may also creep On to the eye 1 portion, and even when it does not it often excites other troubles there which may endanger the sight. The disease is much less common than it used to be. At one time it was almost 1 constantly to be found in orphan asyluns, schools, armies, and wherever numbers of people lived toge rher ir more or less intimate contact, and often in such places extensive epidem- ics of the disease occurred. We now know, says Youths Compan- ion, that the trouble is contagious, anC may be spread from one person to an other through the common use of tow els. pillows and so forth; and this knowl edge has led to a marked reduction il the prevalence of the affection through the enforcement of isolation and the observance of greater c,eanli- ness.
 The disease usually begins in acute form with redness of the yballs, swell ing of the lids, itching and watering of the eyes. and an extreme moderation of light. The eyes feel hot and tender. and there is usually a slight glairy discharge.
 At this stage the symptoms are tho same as those of an ordinary coniunc tiVitis or cold in the eye, but when th. acute stage begins to subsidc. the Cye do not get well. The under surface the lids becomes covered with lit: granules of deep red color. Afte awhile these grarulatfons may ulcer ate. and then the discharge from th eye increases and becomes thick ano yellowish.
 Following this stage, which is some times very slight in degree. the mem brane lining the lids becomes dry anC parchment-like, and contracts. rollino the lids inward, so that the lashes rn' against the eyebalL Th;5 T3bbi2. causes irritation. h'ood vessels groy down over tbe upper part. and a fieshy mass forms which remains asa perma. nent disagreement. as we'll as an im- pediment to vision when it encroaches upon the pupil.
 Thetreatment ofgranular lids is very difficult for the disease is exceedingly obstinate. For this reason prevention Is matter of the utmost importance. \ child who suffers from this. or any eye affection. should have his ow'. wash basin soap. towels. nankins and handkerchiefs. He should sleep alone. and in every possible way should be prevented from coming in close contacI with others. so long at least as there is any discharge from the eyes.
