PORTO RICO RURAL SCHOOLS.

To found an educational system was also part of the great work in Porto Rico. Think of 350,000 children of school age and not one schoolhouse owned by the public on the island! But systematic and vigorous execution soon told, and to-day there are 40,0O0 children being taught by capable in- structors and thirty modern school houses being constructed. In April the Columbus rural school was dedicated at Carolina. This was the first rural schoolhouse ever built in Porto Rico. It looks like a New England school house, capable of holding forty pupils, is painted the common lead color, has ante-rooms, blackboards and comforta- ble American desks and seats. The flag flies over the top, ''The Star Span gled Banner is sung by the children, English is taught, and those who at tend are bright, intelligent, ambitious. It is noticeable, too, that educational interests meet with hearty co-opera- tion among the Porto Ricans of all classes, rich and poor, influential and humble.-World'S Work.

Before the readers of the Democrat finish reading to-day's paper the last sad rites will have been performed over the assassinated president. The whole country without regard to race, creed or color has put on sack cloth and ashes for week. and truly it can be said of the people at this time that they are united people. Never in the history of the country has greater respect been shown any man, living or dead. Mckinley dead served to unite those who were inclined to pull in opposite directions while he lived. Politics and wire pulling have been side-tracked and to-day all loyal citi- zens stand with bowed heads grieving for the untimely death of the president of our country and the affiiction that has been thrust upon, nSt only his fam fly and friends, but upon all the liberty loving people of the land. The people will turn from the dead presidents bier to-day and mingle again in the business cares of the world, and as they do their fervent prayers and applications will be for the new president, that he may conduct the affairs of state in the high. and exalted manner which this country. the foremost in the land, ex- poets of her presidents.

was blowing half a gale, and even when there is dead calm late at night you can hear all kinds of sounds and imag- inc as many more. I had miniature howitzer under my pillow, and I recall that I grabbed the gun three different times. sat up in bed, heard my heart bounding, and was ready to turn loose as soon as I made up my mind where I ought to shoot.
 By three o'clock was in doze and had ceased to strain my ears for noises, when there came a 'bing' that raised both me and my hair. Honest, it was the most startling thing ever went against. I forgot I had gun. rolled from the off side of the bed and dropped to the floor like ton of pig iron. l made as good as a mile in 4:30 on my hands and knees, reached the hall, went downstairs in three jumps and fall, went to the corner with all sails set, met a policeman, and to- gether we hurried back.i
 "He carried his revolver in his hand and I seized a $400 vase as weapon as we passed through the hall. Just as we reached the top of the stairs there was that blood-curdling sbing' again. l dropped the vase into the hall below, and he dashed into my room, turned on the light, and investigated. What do you think he found?"
 ''A burglar? ?"
 ''No. I had left my banjo keyed up taut and two of the strings had snapped"

RUSSIA MAY FEED ENGLAND.


 Russia is taking steps to open up English markets to Russian beef, and to larger quantities of eggs, butter and dairy produce than she now sends us. With. this object a commission, rep resenting the different classes of Rus sian agriculture, will come to England on September 26, and stay till October IL. The visitors will inspect the large markets of London, visit the establish ments of Sir Walter Gilbey, Lord Rothschild and others, and generally acquaint themselves with the condi- tions and requirements of the English trade. Incidentally they will spend four or five days at the Glasgow exhi- bition. The scheme is semi-official. It is initiated by Prince Sherbatoff. the president of the Russian Imperial Az ricultural society, private body, and the Russian government is paying tray- cling. expenses Express.

Time is up for the surrender of the Boers. We believe that Kitchener set as that last day of grace the tif- teenth of September. That date has come and gone and virtually none of them have surrendered. When the proclamation was first issued, breath ing threats against all who did not give up their arms, the English press pre- dicted that before mid-SeptemDer there would be wild rush to sur render. But when the last day of grace came not only were the predic- tions of the English press not fulfilled. but there were actually more Boers in the field than when Kitcheners procla- nation WAS issued.

President Roosevelt's way of doing business may be inferred from the way he succeeded in holding the present cabinet together, for the present, at least. Before any resignations could be rendered he made it his business to see each member personally, and then called them togetRer and publicly re- quested that they. retain their positions. President Roosevelt evidently believes in the old saying that the early bird catches the. worm. s 1U I'd lI

AN EARLY AERIAL DEVICE.

In the discussion on the airship of M. Santos-Dumont a curious fact has come out. Another Brazilian. Bar tholomeo de Gusman, who had been educated by the Jesuits of Paraguay. constructed an aerial machine in 1709 in which he flew from church tower to church tower in Lisbon. The de- scriptions of the machine are hopelass- " vague, but we take it, it was a kind of parachute which enabled him to leap safely from high point onto 2 lower one. The inquisition naturally arrested him, nominally as a magician. really as q man of science, and proba- bly, therefore, an unbeliever. and though he was rescued by the Jesuit fathers, he died of chagrin and disap- pointment. M. Santos -Dumont will not die that way. but courage, however superb, will not alter the laws of gray itation, any more than 'sfantaicism'' will stop a bullet. The real hope for an aeronaut is that a bird can fly, but even a bird cannot remain passive in the air. The albatross, which has the best chance of doing it. from the mar vicious size of its wings, sleeps on the water.
