FRESH AIR CURES.
Roofs of Hous;s the Best Hospitals
 for the Sick.

New York Commercial.
 Fresh air cures have assumed numer- ous forms during the past few years of medical progress, and roof gardens may be considered among the phases of this movement. To stay out of doors during warm weather. day and night if possible. to breathe the pure air and gain life and strength thereby. Is d remedy which nd- ture offers. even in this Northern coun- try, at least portion of the year: Why 1t Is not more often taken advantage of Is a question worth asking. For the value of fresh air cannot be estimated.
 In Oriental countries the roofs of houses are utilized for sleeping purposes, being considered the best place for obtaining restful slumber. But in the Northern countries 1t is only the poorer classes who seek the roof on hot nights. being driven into the air because of the blisterlng at- mosphere within their poorly ventilated tenemenrs or cabins. The wealthier class in their homes cool enough for compar- or the mountains for the summer But good for the healthy individual, ir is dan gerous for the person who is i'll, has not yet taken firm root in the public mind. However. there is at least one roof gar den in Detroit where the conYalescerits are carried to stay on pleasant days. that of the Children's Free Hospital.
 In Philadelphia the physicians in charge have carried this idea a step further The top of the Philadelphia Hospital is to be used as roof garden for tuberculops

LOSS TO ORANGES.
As a Whole Damage Will Be from
 Ten to Twelve Per Cent.

Jacksonville Times-Union. .
 Walter Hawkins, general agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, has just returned from a trip through the orange growing regions to investigate the damage done by the recent storm.
 According to his information the dam age done to the crop for the entire region is not as great as was first reported. The loss he estimates will be about 10 per cent, or perhaps F per cent of the total crop. though, of course, In some places, the amount of damage done was fully 30 per cent.
 It is. of course difficult to state how badly the crop was injured, by the oranges being thorned, as a great many of them may grow to full size that have suffered in this way The orange grow CTS, he states. are not discouraged over the outlook, as the crop has been much more plentiful than last year, and the loss from the storm will be offset partially by the extra crop.

PROGRESS r1 PORTO RICO.
A Disinterested View of the Islands
 Prosperity Under Our Rule.

L. L'EConomiste Francais
 The two principal articles of exporta- tion in Porto Rico, sugar and tobacco, have increased from 27,560 900 francs and 3,161, 800 francs in 1901 to 31 1975,00 francs and 10,57O.C00 francs the year following. The exports of cigarettes and of leaf tobacco have diminished, but the diminu- ton Is of little importance compared to the much higher value of cigars.
 The sugar cane plantations, which the employment of modern methods are in- creasing, facilitated as they are by the creation of central factories, one of which has recently been started at Guanica. Notwithstanding the Advances made, there still remains much to be done.
 Coffee culture is extending rapidly, The product of the present year amounts to $50. 900 bags. During the last ten years $500 acres have been devoted to orange plantations. They plant about seventy trees to the acre. which yield in five years about 35.OOO oranges. which are usually sold at the wharfs at the rate of five francs a hundred. and this gives a profit of 1.250 francs to the acre.
 Cotton planting is about to be renewed. The exportation of cotton reached 4.00O bales in 1865. About S00O0O acres will soon be set apart for cotton plantations.
 Many mining concessions have been granted since the annexation of the island to the United States. but none. so far, has been worked with energy.

A CAMPAIGN BUTTON.
To Catch the Northern Negro Vote

To Catch the Northern Negro Vote. Chicago Special.
 Presidential campaign buttons have ap- peared, the first in the approaching national contest. They are of unique de- sign, representing President Roosevelt and colored man enjoying luncheon together.
 The single word Equality" in bold let ters acrosg the face of the badge is its striking characteristic. Colored men have been the first to wear the button and many are to be seen with the badge adorning their coat lapels. The button depicts the President and negro leader at a small round dining table presumably in the White House. The colored man Is seated at Roosevelt's right, with his hand resting upon the table. Both survey a coffee service, water bottle and two nap kins and are awaiting the arrival of the first course.
 To Charles H. Thomas, of this city, is credited the origin of the button, which is in great demand, particularly among negro Republicans.
 A number of organizations are expected to make the buttons their official cam pagn badge.

They act their part on no presentiment of what will confe of 1t, but under the stern behest of duty and led on by the high aspiration to serve their own generation by the will of God. they enter that loftiest heirarchy of souls through whom all the families of the earth are blessed. Such was Moses the man of God, following the divine lead ership of God across the withstanding sea, and the expressing desert, and at last in the twilight of a long and weary life, go- ing home like tired sobbing child at nightfall, crying as he passes away from his uncompleted tasks, Establish thou the work of our hands upon us. Tea, the Such one was Paul, who at the bidding of his crucifed and risen Lord put him. self unreservedly at the divine dis posal, plunged fearlessly into the deep, dark, heathenism of the century with not SO much as friendly church to support him, counting not his life dear that he might finish his course with joy and the ministry, which he had received of the Lord Jesus, and dying at last at Rome at the hand of Nero's heads man. when as yet the new world, the peared.
 
 Such was Martin Luther and John Cal win and John Knox. Such was Wesley. a hero of faith, great in that uncon- scious greatness which breathes in the heavenly modesty of the righteous. who in the last judgment come disclaiming the deeds of mercy which have marked the shining paths that their feet have trod. The greatness sprung of such a spirit escapes on the one hand. the weakness Of

It accepts its tasks by divine appointment, rightly conceiving that its work must connect tremendously with the work of Gods servants who have gone before 1t, adapt its form to the needs of the present. and be of such character as can be carried on by its divine anointed successors in the future. It Is a COG worker with its God and its fellow ser wants, whose united work towards the glorious culmination to be reached in that liar off divine event towards which all creation moves" Wherefore 1t is not fanciful but firm, not fickle but flexible, not destructive but constructive; with re- gard to the past reverent, with respect to the present loyal to the highest good, and with regard to the future hopeful. While contending earnestly for the an- cient faith once for all delivered to the saints 1t is quickly responsive to the Providence which preserves the truth and tenderly sensitive to the spirit which ever continues to reveal more clearly the deep things of God.
 Such was John Wesley. who never pro- fessed to discover new truth, but to re- store the old faith. He was no innovator, but a renovator. Hence his method of study and preaching as set forth in the preface to bis published sermons, where in he says: T Have thought am a creature of a day passing through life as an arrow through the air am a spirit come from God, just lowering over the great gulf. till a few moments hence, an seen no more! want to know one

Os s;alve..on, ,Eeras.

New York, August 16.-As-
sociate Justice David J. Brewer.
of the Supreme Court of the
United States, has contributed
to Leslie's Weekly an article en-
the crime of lynching, in the
course OF which ne says:
"Our Government recently
forwared to Russia a petition in
respect to alleged atrocities com
mitted upon the Jews. That
Government, as might have been
expected, unwilling to have its
internal affairs q matter of con
sideration by other Governments.
declined to receive the petition.
III, instead of so doing, it had re-
piled that il would put stop
to all such atrocities when this
pGovernment put stop to lynch
ings, what would he have said?
at is we'll to look the matter
fairly in the face. May good
men Join in these .uprisings,
Mortified at the atrocity Of the
crime, and eager for swift and
summery punishment. OF course
they violete the law themselves :
but rely on the public sentiment
behind them to escapef rom pun
ishment. Many of these lynch
ings are accomplished hv the
horrible barbarities of savage
trouble, and all tnat can be said
in palliation is the atrocity of
the fences which led up to them.
For time they were confined
largely to the South, but that
section of the country no longer
has a monopoly. The chief of
fence which causes these lynch
ings has been the rape of white
women by coIord men. No
words can be found too strong
to describe the atrocity of such a
crime. 1t is no wonder that the
community is excited. Men
would disgrace their manhood if
they were not. And il a few
lynchings has put stop to the
