Porto Rico's Emble m.

The old seal of Porto Rico, granted
by Spain about the middle of the six
tenth century, presented three leading
features, a rock in the ocean, the lamb
of ST. John and design of the Spanish
shield was retained, and also the rock,
after being remodeled as to copy, with
some exaggeration, the contour of the
island as it appears to the voyager be-
fore entering the, harbor of San Juan
Behind the rock is shown the rising
sun.
The choice of a crest presented a
difficulty. No heraldic animal was sug-
gested as having peculiar local sig
nificance, except the gamecock. whose
present popularity the government is
was suggested. The bust of Columbus
was considered but it was regarded
as lacking in artistic effect. One of
his caravels was found to make
striking effect above the shield, and
it was adopted.
Concerning a motto the committee
decided that Spanish was out of the
question, but English was such an I'M
known tongue that Latin was chosen

A Strange Talent.

In Bloomington, Ind. there is a To-
year-old-hoy who carries in his mind
a permanent calendar for at least the
last half century, although by many
me is considered mentally deficient
To everybody in Bloomington and
the weasel. When asked his real
name he gives any of half a dozen
which he has at his tongues end for
the purpc>e of satisfying the curiosity
of the questioner. Sc far as known,
the boy has never attended school. and
knows nothing about the system by
which past and future dates are cal
culated. When asked on what day of
the week a date 20 years back came on
the weasel" answers the question cor
rectly within the space of one minute
and often in much less time. He
gathers up many nickels and pennies
by telling commercial travellers at the
hotels or what day of the week they
were born. The day of the month on
which one was born is given the boy
and he Immediately supplies the day
of the week. To the questioner this
is in many cases known. SO that it is
at once known that the boy has given
correct answer. Every ruSe has been
made use of to muddle him in his cal
culations. but in each case he gets the
better of the undertaking.

Suddenly he set his jaws together
determinedly and with feverish haste
filled his pockets with the bills and
silver. When he had emptied the box
he placed it back in the vault and
closed and locked the door. Then he
advanced a few steps and paused

Presently he staggered to his desk

For a few ,ief moments he gazed at it
in silence. Then he pressed it to his
lips and, turning reopened the vault,
took the money from his pocket, placed
it back in the box and locked the door.

great happiness and up from the
depths of my heart there surged cry,

No, he said, tremor in his voice.

grace upon my baby boy.
Now, my boy said I, kindly,

He looked me in the eye a moment.
Then he said:

He looked at me with tears in his

Before dinner is served the bride
goes to the bath, accompanied by fe-
male relatives and friends. At night
as the procession of the bridegroom
approaches aims are distributed and
women and children look on from
neighboring roofs. Loud cries from
the women welcome the bridegroom
on his arrival, while the bride, careful
ly yelled. mounts the horse awaiting
her at the door. All the men who
have been Toasted and entertained Join
in the procession, in which lanterns
are borne. The brides departure is
the signal for the discharge of fire
works and a great beating of the big
drum. The final ceremony is similar
to one observed by the Arabs and the
Copts, namely, the sacrifice of sheep.
These are killed as the bride steps
over the threshold of her new home
One wonders what the idea is underly-
ing the sacrifices. Are they intended
as acts of Precipitation inherited from
an earlier age, when people thus en-
deayored ito appease the anger of the

tors? Or is it merely a way of sealing
in blood an important act and cove

Did the Shark Eat "a Cow

In the stomach of a shark recently
caught at Lukovo We're found, among
other things, it is said, a pair of trous-
ers, a COW bell and shoe Probably
any one who should hold that these
exhibits are prima facie that this
shark at least swallowed a man would
receive the rejoinder from our expert
aquarium friends, who assert that
there is 10 such thing as a man-eating
shark. that they prove just as much
that the aforesaid shark would. could
or did swallow a cow, for certainly. we
can hear them argue. it is as reason
able to claim that this fish did not
swallow the COW bell without swallow

Gen. Harrison c. Hobart, the last
survivor of the Wisconsin constitu-
tional convention and one of the last
of the original five who planned and
made the famous Ross tunnel and by
it escaped from Libby prison, died at
Milwaukee in the hospital of the
Northwestern Home for Disabled Vol
unteer Soldiers, aged 81 years
Few men in Wisconsin were better
known than Gen. Hobart, both on ac-
count of his connection with the poll
tics of the state and his remarkable
war record. No history of the war of
the rebellion was ever written that
did not contain a chapter devoted to
his remarkable escape from Libby
prison together with others by tunnel
ing. For this reason his reputation ex-
tended far outside the state, and there
was a time some years ago when a
Grand Army reunion was thought to be
incomplete if he were not in attend
ance to recount the exciting incidents
of his capture at Chickamauga and i'm
prisonment at Richmond

Bloody Oysters.

Reports in the Richmond (VaD pa
pers from correspondents along the
Potomac river are to the effect that
oyster houses are closing down on ac-
count of what is called bloody oys-
tiers. This same disease caused a good
deal of trouble along the Rappahan-
mock some few years ago, says the
Richmond Dispatch. but since that
time the bloody" oyster has been an
unknown quantity in this section This
trouble virtually ruins the sale of oys-
ters. and its appearance is unac-
counted for. At the time our oysters
were suffering from the disease they
were sent to be analysed, and 1t was
found that the discoloration was not
at all injurious to the oyster, nor did
it make the mollusks unfit for eating
purposes. But while it was acknowl-
edged and known that such oysters
were good for eating, but few felt in
clined to eat them in that shape, and
thus the sale was ruined

The story is related of an Irish
man who. after embarking in business
on his own hook, experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in paying his bills.
AS the first of the month drew near he
realized that it would be necessary to
put all collectors off until after the
18th of the month, so he made this
sign and hung il in front of the door:
NO bills paid before the 18TH. When
the collectors arrived the sign stared
them in the face. and they went away
making a note of the date to call On
the 18th Pat was just as short OF
money as before, so he sat down tc
think it over, and his native wit did
not desert him. On the back of the
sign he painted the following: Nc
bills paid after the 18th" 1T IS chron-
icled that Pat assured all collectors
that they had been extremely care
less not to come before the date indi-
Gated on the sign, thus gaining enough
time to tide over his difficulties. The
sign was reversed

Battles In Icy Water.


Prof Sugarman, who gained noto-
swim in the Mohawk river during the
winter season, and who revived the
practice in 1899 and 1900, says the
New York Sun, intends to keep up his
unique pastime during the present
winter. The professor, who is residing
at Fort Plain this season. took his
first plunge of the winter on Satur-
Gay, and repeated the performance on
Sunday. The colder the day Nhe more
amusement Prof. Sugarman derives
from the swim. Yesterday the mer-
curry lowered around the zero mark
but he didn't mind little thing like
that He went TO the Mohawk river,
half a mile from his home with a
pair of tights under his arm, chopped
the ice fl ON the bank for a consider
able distance, and then disrobing
out IN the river he disappeared be-
meath the surface. He reappeared and
repeated the act several times before
coming from the water. while the
several witnesses in their winter cloth
ing shivered in the cold. Prof. Sugar
man generally takes his icy plunge in
the late afternoon. and never expert
ences any ill-effects. He enjoys the
best of health. and declares that after
a person becomes accustomed to a
swim in the icy waters of the Mohawk
he WOULD taboo all other forms of
bathing.

Bird Restaurants.

The women of Kenosha, Wis, have
formed a club, in which nearly every
villager has Joined, for having bird
restaurants in their front or back gar
dens- Each member of the club has
agreed to erect tall pole with a
shelf on top large enough to hold a
saucer of water and a tray of food,
which will contain seeds, lettuce, cut
tlebone and any other dainties birds
crave. Once the bird restaurants be-
come popular with Kenosha's birds,
the women believe the feathered ones
will impart the glad tidings to their
neighbors in other suburbs, and Ke-
nosha in a little while will have a
monopoly of songsters. Some of the
women viii go even further than to
establish bird eating-houses. Moss
and other nesting material will be
placed in the trees, where it will be
of easy access and the women reason
that, with all this BODYBUILDING ma
terial at hand, the birds will look no
further for a cozy spot in which to
settle and begin housekeeping.

Artificial Ice.

The principles upon which the manu-
facture of ice is based is that gas

mously. and if robbed of this heat and
allowed to escape at a future time, it
seeks to regain its heat by withdraw
ing heat from its surroundings. Am

Others because it can be liquefled

economical by circulating water about
