On a coast where shoals and reefs
make the use OF a life boat impractic-

put an insurmountable barrier between
the distressed crew on a wreck and the
brave men on shore. the life rocket is

a certain distance, the swift travelling
line propelled through the air comes
like a messenger OF hope and life to

pepe, A Story of
Porto Rico.

.E
When the American governor gen.
eral issued bis famous order requir-
ing ali children to be properly clothed
in the street there was CONSERVATION
in San Juan. Previous to our occu-
nation the lower or working classes
had never thought of putting clothes
upon a young child. especially in the
country; and as a result the island
was filed with brown little Adams
and Ewes. without even the biblical
| ng-leAf to hide their nakedness.
Porto Rico, you must know. Is near
ly as thickly populated as Belgium
and many OF the people are very poor
To some parents Il was a positive
hardship to clothe their numerous on
spring, and. moreover. 1t was not CON
| sldered necessary, because OF the mild
climate. The governor general, how
ever, entertained other views. To his
military and somewhat stern eye the
picturesquen ,ss of the landscape was
not enhanced by any number OF naked
babies. He would have liked to put
uniforms upon them. such is the force
Of habit and education.
Clothing them was at least a step
in their "Americanization," and, to
do him Justice, he believed that the
somewhat abnormal mortality among
the infants was due to their naked
ness, especially during the season OF
"northers." And SO the nat went
forth.
For a few days the streets were al
most abandoned by the Juvenile popu
lation Of the lower classes. With diff
Hculty could l procure a paper or get
my shoes polished; and when the
street Arabs gradually r~eappeared in
motley array the style and At OF their
clothes was somewhat startling. An
adults sack coat was not infrequently
the only garment, and in one instance,
at least. a fathers waistcoat had to
serve his small son In lieu Of all
clothing. The working classes usu-
ally inhabit the Easements Of the San
Juan houses. where their apartments,
often without windows, are grouped
about a patio or central courtyard.
When an American officer, a soldier,
or a native policeman approached one
Of these ~habitations, there would be
a scampering from the main door OF
naked children, who disappeared like
a cyclone in the gloom Of the interior.
l was the fortunate possessor Of a
smattering Of Spanish, and this fact

an extended article on 1.-THE Plight of
the Democracy and the Remedy
Mr.. Cleveland begins by reviewing
the history OF the party, and he dis
cusses its defeats since 1864 in detail.
In taking up Hhe question OF the

he says that the success Of the party

supremacy was anticipated. Then
came 1.-THE fallacy of free silver and

"The elimination Of Democratic
woe was reached when its compact
with these democratic forces was
complete, and when our rank and file
were summoned to do battle under
banners which bore strange symbols
and which were held aloft in unfamil-

trayal was foredoomed. This aban-
