AROUND PORTO RICO.
How to Visit Our West Indian Island
Possession.

The nearest of our insular possessions
is Porto Rico which lies in the Allan
tic just at the eastward end of the
Greater Antilles. The acquisition of it
from Spain has made it far better
known and more interesting to the PEG
pie of these states than it could have
otherwise become in a long period of
time The transfer of American in
terests to the former Spanish colony
has served TO draw many persons thitn-
er who might otherwise never have
had their attention drawn to this near
by place where it is possible to escape
from the rigors of our harsh northern
climate The names of San Juan,
Arecibo, Aguadilla, Mayaguez, Guanica,
Ponce. JObos, Humacoa and Fajardo
are fast becoming as familiar as house
hold words. The industrial prospects
of Porto Rico are being rapidly de
veloped by American capital and skill.
Ample facilities for reaching all parts
of Porto Rico are afforded by the New
York and Porto Rico Steamship com
pany, which operates a fleet of mail
and passenger steamers between this
port and the ports of the island. The
distance is 1880 miles in a direct line.
Steamers also ply from New Orlean

HIS PRICKLY PET.
Henry billiard, Bailin of Federal
Court. Has a Live Porcupine.


Henry billiard, who is finishing up
his twenty-seventh year as bailiff Of
the United States circuit court, has an
interesting pet in the shape of a porcu-
pine that he captured in Wisconsin last
summer while on a camping trip with
Judge William Q. Hook The animal is
now about six months old, weighs about
10 pounds and is extremely playful and
intelligent. billiard allows it to run
free about his house and yard and has
trained it to do number of odd tricks.
The porcupine is never seen wild in
this latitude but billiards. pet seems to
thrive in civilization. He caught it
when it was quite small and it is by
no means fully grown yet billiard
says the old story about a poreupine
throwing its quilts is mistake al
though this weapon of defense is never
theless very serViceable. He says the
animal uses its tail, which is large and
heavy, for striking and the quilts in it
viii stick and hold if they come in con-
tact with a persons flesh. They are
barbed at the tip and are hard to re-
move when once fastened.
During his camping trip billiard
spent a good deal of time watching the
wild porcupines in the woods. He
wanted to learn their habits in order to
be able to give his pet the proper sort
OF treatment Its food consists largely
of twigs and bark, although in captiv-
ity it viii eat vegetables cooked and
raw and is partial to bacon rinds and
salt pork. The wild animals come
about the camps to pick up scraps Of
food thrown out. Like the bear and
coon the porcupine walks upright
much of the time and in eating uses
its forepaws to carry food to its mouth

THE OLD WOOD FIRE.
How It Was Built and Kept Alive by
an Expert.

After the evening chores were done,
my father would appear in the doorway
with the big back log coated with snow,
often of ampler girth than himself, and
fully breast high to him as he held it
upright canting in one way and an
other, and walking it before him on its
wedge shaped end. He would perhaps
stand it against the chimney While he
took a breathing spen and planned his
campaign Then. the andironS hauled
forward on the hearth, and the bed Of
half burnt brands and live Goals raked
open. the icy log was walked Into the
chimney. where skillful turn would
lay it over, kissing and steaming. in its
lair of hot embers. 1t seemed a thing
alive. and its vehement sputtering and
protesting made a dramatic moment for
"a least one small spectator. The stout
shovel and longs or perhaps a. piece of
fireWOod used as a lever. would force it
against the chimney back: then a good
sized stick, called a " back stick" was
laid on TOP of it. and the andirOns were
set in place. Across the andirons an
other good sized stick was laid, called
a fore stick and in the interspace
smaller sticks were crossed and thrust
and piled. all quickly kindled by the live
Goals and brands. In very cold weather
a fire was kept burning all night, our
father getting up once or twice to re-
plenish it. Even in summer the Goals
rarely became extinct. A good heap of
them covered with embers at bedtime
would be found alive when Faked open
in the morning Monthly.
