FROM PONCE TO THE PLAYA.

ton has languished for years, is an in

Trolley cars buzzing busily through
the Plaza Principe indicate pretty
clearly the change that is coming over
the face of sleepy old West Indian
communities with the advent of the
Yankee.
Ponce's trolley line joins the resi-
dental part Of the city, built where the
early inhabitants fed to escape the
visits Of the dreaded buccaneers, with
the playa, or port, where major part
of the modern business of the inhabi-
tants is carried on. Of total popula.

trio line between Ponce and the playa
was undertaken on the first of Deem
Der, 1901. The cars began running
on May /, 1902 and since that time
they have carried a daily average of
several thousand passengers. The
only problem, which has been success
fully met with has been to supply suf-
ficient transportation facilities to
meet the unexpected demand. This
passenger traffic has naturally been
the chief concern of the company up to
this time, and the old-fashioned
sleepy-looking carts still carry the
freight on its way back and forth from
city to port; they are, however, des-
tined in all probability to be sup
planted by freight-carrying electrics.
Already the passenger carriages,
that only a year ago went rafting
along the ancient roadway with all the
speed that the people of the tropics
know so we'll how to get out of their
crazy little horses. have practically
disappeared. And, if one ventures
forth it no longer collects all the pas
sengers aboard that can be crowded
into its palsied seats at a reduced fare
for every additional passenger. Under
the Spanish regime the drivers of
these carriages could shift on the pas
sengers all responsibility for ac-
cidents, and for that reason careless
driving was the rule rather than the

THE HIeHBALL IN THE WAR.

Our esteemed neighbor, Panama,
placed the world under emphatic obli-
cations by producing something novel
in the way Of revolutions. The gov

After the first one the general was
more impressed with the dignity and
power of his position than he had
ever been before in his career. After
the second he decided that he was
the savior Of his country, or ought 90
be. The third brought 10 him visions
of an oppressed Panama, and the
fourth and fifth fired his martial heart

5000 live in the Playa condition
in the first year of its operation the
new road has been favored with a pas
senger business that could hardly have
been picked up in a northern city of
the same size in the states; but the
Porto Rican people are of the kind who
prefer riding to walking.
In fact all who could afford to al
ways have ridden. Up to two years
ago the coffee, sugar, and tobacco
growers, when they came down from
the hills to transact business in town,
as we'll as all the local merchants with
their clerks and assistants-used to
drive from Ponce to the playa and
back to vehicles that closely resembled
the Yankee carryall. These always
went crowded-ofteEtimes uncomfort-
ably so. Meantime the laborers-the
coffee pickers, orange sorters and
other workers whose means would not
admit of the expense of the carriage
ride-would trudge gaily up and down
the long road, barefooted and happy.
More steadily browsing down from
town to port went the odd bullock
carts laden with bags and bales.
Amongst these the naked children,
who are now required by law to go
about properly clad after they reach
the age of five years, lodged reckless
ly and with apparent IMMUNITY. The
whole procession was along the old
white military road bordered with
stately cocoanut palms and the scarlet
towering and well-named sflamboyant"
trees-just as many as American or
English road is bordered with elms-
which is at once the thoroughfare and
playground of Ponce.
Such is picture Of the old times
which extended up to the American in
vasion. Today, however, the most
evident sign of the new regime in
Porto Rico is the busy trolley car,
rushing every 10 minutes along the
road. The new line which is one of
the series operated in various parts Of

ment of Boston, follows the path taken

She beat the eggs, both yolk and

She whipped the cream with all her

And stoned the raisins with delight.
II is the fashion to use a great deal
of whipped cream in cooking, and IL
enters into almost every course as a
garnish from soup to ice. Whipping
and beating are two differeus
processes, which give different results.
For whipping a little churn is needed
while any kind Of an egg beater VIII
beat cream light. But for either
process thick heavy cream should be
diluted. If cream is too thick no fTotn
can be raised by whipping, and beat
ing is apt to turn it into a lump OF
butter. 1t is generally safe to add
one-tnird milk TO heavy cream. Set
the whip churn into a bowl, tip t
slightly. and draw the dash up little
wa- with a quick stroke. Dip the
froth off by spoonfuls into a sepa

better than bowl. The small amount
of cream that drips from the whipped

Geo. p. Huekeby of Rich Hill, was
next introduced and made a coarae-

Johnson OF Nevada, made logical,
philosophical discourse that was
forceiul and appropriate to such an
occasion.
In fact all the addresses were
good, and our conclusion was that
the laboreTs present had received
advice amply sufficient to last them
for full year at least. Take it al
together our labor friends were to
be congratulated on the success Of
their effort. The Nevada organizs-

Everything passed off as well as
could be asked by the most fastid-

order and general enjoyment
