A LA ASAMBLEA LEGISLATIVE.

Nuestra reunion en- este dla senala ell
he cho de haberse logrado un progreso mas
y de considerable alcance, en- la adaptation
del Pueblo de Puerto-Rico al Gobierno Ci-
vii ConstitulS la segunda Asamblea LeglS-
lativa, que con las debidas formalidades Sc
congrega an IA en- su primera Legislature;
vuestra camara mayor Ia forman represent
tantes del pueblo, elegidos en- votacl6n di-
recta, para que sean procuradores de los in
tereses pllblicos y de quienes Sc espera que
en- union del Consejo Executive, promuevan
el bienestar comun. Ademas sera notable
esta asamblea por ser la prlmera que Sc
reune despu6s de una contienda electoral
Miembros de diferentes partidos politicos
han sldo elegidos en- correcta forma por ell
pueblo de les varioS sdisJrltos de la Isla. Es-
to es saludable, por cuanto garantiza la
libre exposition de los distintos puntos de
vista pol1ticos que Sc tengan, respecto de
aquellas medidas que justifquen una dis
cus0n politica; asi los varios efectos me-
ritOS de las leyes prOpuestas tienen proba-
bllidades de ser tan eNtensamente discutidOs
tan completamente analizados, que los
diferentes intereses pol1ticos locales del pue-
bio en- general han de ser con toda segu-
ridad, considerados embellishments, y por
10 tanto las leyes tienen que resultar, de
modo indefectible, prudentes y mesuradas.
A medida que la experienced va siendo mas
amplia, la asociaci6n de legislatures de di-
versa fliaci6n politica, la par que de
distintas ocupaciones, conducira tambien a
la moderaci0n de ideas; brindara ocasiOnes q
la tolerancla mutua; acrecentara ell reSpeto
que entire 81 deben guardarse las opiniones;
y, permitasenos esperarlo unira a los hom-
ores para ell blen comun, ALI d0nde has
ta ahora discres pacias, mas maginarias que
reales, los han mantenidos separapos. Creo
que cada uno de vosotros guarda en- 10 mas
profundo de su corazon lealtad para con los
Estados-Unidos y quito por la prosperidad de
Puerto-Rico, Y que inspirados todos en- no
nor de Ia Nacion, la vez que en- ell amor
orgullo que sentis por esta terra, no ha-
BRAN de lmpulsarOs eSos est1mulos Otro
fin que no sea ell de la gloria y progreso
material de los intereses que merezcan la

that where there is a will there is q war

certain southern city" said a we'll

Orleans Times-Democrat "a nfan be-
fore his marriage had purchased a
beautifully located lot in the city eem-

he married and some ten or twelve years
afterward died and was buried in tha
aforesaid beautifully located lot and his
grave was carefully attended for awhile
by his widow.
when the big show came of in Chi
cago and all the world was en- route to

must see the show. AS a result of
long cogitation over ways and means
she had the body of her deceased hus-
band exhumed and railroaded so miles
away and reburied at cost of about
SIS, when she sold the cemetery lot for
$500 and had a good old time at the big
worlds fair Somewhat of f1nancier

WE CAN'T EAT CELERY NOW,
of Diet-VeGetable Said to Carry
/ Typhoid Germs.

Now the physicians are said TO have
forbidden another relish nearly as pop
ular as oysters at this time, says the
Washington Star. Celery has come
under the ban Of the doctors, who say
that It is equally well adapted to trans
hitting the poisonous elements of the
soil and carrying the germs of typhoid.
The disease can be acquired only by
introducing the microbes into the sys-
tenn in food or drink, and for that rea-
son advice against certain kinds of food
is always likely to be regarded. But
to what extent this may be carried is
well understood by the proprietor Of
one hotel, who has seen oysters during
the past three weeks disappear almost
entirely from the orders of his guests.
Some weeks ago well-known man died
OF typhoid fever. He had lived at a
large hotel, and the report went about
that he had got his illness there. What
ever you do, don't eat oysters at that
hotel" was the advice that one friend
was giving another, based on the belief
that this man had died of a disease con-
tracted in the hotel dining-room, where
the chances were immensely in favor
of his having got the fever somewhere
else.
If they keep on there will be nothing
left for us to eat except fish and fritz
tiers, and the latter will probably be eut
off soon and pills substituted.

THEIR OWN BARRIERS.
Increased Sales of Razors Indicate
That More Men Than Ever Be-
fore Shave Themselves.

There are sold in this country to-
day." said cutlery man, according to
the New York Sun, "a hundred times
as many razors as were sold here 40
years ago.
Some share of this increase is due,
of course, to the advance in population,
but the greater part is due to the large
increase in the proportion of men who
shave themselves. More men than ever
before now possess this polite art.
with a greater number of individ-
ual users of razOrs there are, of course,
many more razors now sold. And, of
course, plenty of men own more than
one razor; everyone ought to own two,
at least, as many men do. One good
razor properly cared for might serve
its purpose continuously and well for
long time without regrinding or hon.
ing, but an accident might happen to
it, and against that man guards by
having at least one extra razor.
Many men buy sets of seven razors,
one for each day in the week, and there
are men who have sets of 81 razors, one
for every day in the month. And trav-
elers going to distant countries and into
regions where facilities would be lack
ing buy cases of razors to take with
them. A traveller starting out with a
case of half dozen razors in perfect
condition would have a razor outfit
that, with such care as he could be-
stow upon it himself, would serve him
we'll for years.
THE best razor that can be made
can be bought with plain handle for
two dollars; anything more than that in
the cost of it would be in the mounting
in pearl handles and so on. You can
buy case of seven fine razors, sim
ply mounted, for $12, or you can pay
$50 or more for case of razors with
the same blades, but with fine mount
ings and in a finer case -~

Glass-Making I'm Japan.

The art of making glass was intro
duced into japan about $50 years ago
by a Hollander, who settled at Osaka
For several generations the knowledge
of the process was confined to a single
family and it was not until about 1879
that the employment of coal instead OF
charcoal, and the construction Of brick
chimneys, enabled the manufacturers
TO introduce improvements which
placed the industry on substantial
basis. Osaka has continued to be the
center OF the industry, and now manu-
features for export besides supplying
the home demand.
