pORTO RICO'S COASTS.
A curious Discovery az TO the Position Of
Its North and South Shores.

Tho fact is not generally known that on
mans of the largest scale the northern and
southern coasts of Porto Rico are not shown
in quite the position in which they were
sorynerly represented. The difference is
a. slight however, that it is not appre-
ciable on the small maps most generally
For some years the Coast and Geodetic
survey has been giving considerable time
m n survey Of all the coasts OF Porto Rico,
n has found in the course OF tins work
raj good harbors that had hitherto
been unknown to the photographer.
One other very interesting discovery has
Leen made as q result OF which the north
shore of the island has been moved on the
man half mile to the south and the south
arm shore a half mile to the north,
DR. Tittmann, the director OF the survey,
IN n recent address briefly explained the
nause of this unusual ,proceedlng;. lie

Istindes made on the north and south

Southern Call for white Girls as walters.
From The !spavtaaburo Herald.

FTDIN NE IopNTEhNONTU FTeTnVd
We would like to be numbered with the Ncus and
ca urter tho MObhr Register and other OF our con
tempoFarics In the advocacy OF having white girls
for walters In the hotels. The poor service given
at most Of our Southern hotels Is a constant re
prOach 10 US and the only remedy We can sec Is to
replace the stupid clumsy, untdy negro men with
Intelligent, Sprghty refined Southern girls.
Those who visited the cafe in the W0man's Build
Ing AZ the Charleston Exposition remember wha, q
pleasure and a satisfaction 1t was to he waited on
by neat, attractive. bright refined young women.
These girls were from some OF the prOudcst and
best families OF Charleston; and when VIC say that
of course 1t means the proudcst and best families
In the world. for there are better. There are
certainly none prouder. and II Charleston girls
will serve II that the girls Of other places might
also be induced to in this honorable and ghy
respectable capacity.

4 Song Against Love.

from ne .iMch Turr
There is thing In the world that has been since tn
world began
The hatred OF man for woman. the hatred Of woman
for man,
When shall this thing be ended When love ends
hatred ends
For love is chain between foes. and love is sword
between friends,
Shall there never be love without hatred? Not
since the world began.
Until man teach honor 10 woman. and woman teach
pity TO man.
oh. that man might live his HE for little tide
Without this rage In his heart, and without this foe
al his side!
He could cat and sleep and be merry and forget, he
could live we'll enough,
We're II not for this thing that remembers and hates
and that hurts and Is love,
But peace has not been in the world since love and
the world began
For the man cmcmbcrs the woman and the woman
remembers the man.

Old Home Hills.

Wlntry hills that simmer and shine
From valley land to timber line,
Ribbed with DIR IT'S where stone walls stood,
Crowned by the blue and barren wood
Dotted with sombro spruce and pine.
Each with It's peaked, snowy hood.
Spring time hills of sober brown.
Early green where ripple down
A thousand tiny waterways;
Hills whose smiles on April days
DlSplacc the winters frozen frown
And charm again our eager gaze.
Hills OF summers dusky green
Where stately trees their vcrdurc prccn:
Hills whose softcncd outlines lie
Graceful ganst an azure sky
While the velvet clouds carcen
Over plumed hllltops high.
Autumn hills OF opal hue.
Reaching up to heaven S blue.
Or flaming bright with red and gold.
Gaycst OF natures colors bold,
With dazzling beauties ever new
That our enchanted eyes behold.
These are the old home hills We know
And love through sun or rain or snow.

From tho Pail Mall Gazette
Twain we arc twain. the Powerful land OF France,
And this rough, storm tossed home of mist and
gloom:
Yon land OF song and Provence al romance
And this plain folk with fighting for their doom.
Twain. as when that "Ha Roul" nrst shook our land
When Tallefer flung his Hitting song on high.
And singing, tossed and caught his lance and brand.
And. singing. ever singing rode to die.
Twain too as when. fierce focmen still at fray.
We fought with her In the dim long ago,
Till FOurmigny'S fell storm drove uS away
And from her memory Cr,cy's fall Of snow.
Twain as when freed from our last feeble hold.
France, Joyous, for her own. her own did take,
And Calais lost broke that stern heart and cold
A nations sullen hatred could not break
Still are VIC twain. though now with welcoming shout
The air grows vocal our mad JoybellS ring,
And now 10 you the nation s heart goes ont
To hall and honor Frances uncrowned King.
Welcomed We twain are weary OF long strife,
By Peaces holy ways our feet would trend;
We twain would seek that nObcr mode OF life
That makes an erstwhile foe hTm. fast friend.
Then welcome. first fruits OF your coming be
Brave strenuous effort I'LL. our good work done.
Our hands are stretched across the parting sea
And In the bonds OF love We twain arc one.
One Till and when that longed for day dawn clear
When Peace shall rule with wisdom for her GUIDE.
And this great truth the happy lands shall hear
The seas but Join the nations they divide

Quick Lunch.

From the Baltimore American,
How docs the busy man lunch

All needless ofthe impending doom

Dispensed 10 the reckless eaters there
He works his way to the crowded bar
Where heaps OF quick lunch Viands are
And. armIrg himself with plate and knife

And Shoves II between his thumb and plate

And as indigcStibic aS glue,
Then bowl Of coffee SCaldlng not,
And he backs away with what he's got
And hurrcs the combination down
With gulp and gasp and impatient ffoWn
Again he goes to the fatal pile.

About the time that Is speeding by

A stale eclar and a piece Of cake;

And back 10 his Office on the run.
How does the busy man fecl'

He feels as though he Is all compressed
Like man was sitting ON his chest,
He has a something he can't explain,
Ne knows It's there. for he feels the pain:
He'd call II wooden. but wood Is light
And the thing he has weighs like fright.
He drags around from morning to night

He sees n doctor and states his case;

We noticed that Mr.. G. J. Small
wood rugged up snow pillow, which
was drawn by his horse, and this
he made short work of
the walks, and making
them passable in the vicinity Of his
home.
Would it not be a good thing for
the Village Council to fix up a plow
of this kind, and instruct the Street
Commissioner to use 1t early in, the
and immeditey after the
snow falls, before it becomes hard
and packed, for by so doing,it would
be easy to remove the snow, and the
cost would be very small.

DECEMBER WEATHER.

By the close of the first week in
December, most parts Of the country
will have felt tho influence of the
first storm period for the month.
The period is central on the 5th'
covering the srd to 9TH. The full
moon falls on the 4th, being near
it's greatest north declination. War
mer days will mark the first stages
Of this period, during which the
barometer will fall in western sect
ions, and from the 4th to the 9TH
storms Of rain, turning tn snow and
winter gales, will pass FROM west to
east across the country. The pres
enoe of a low barometer over the in
terror states will cause heavy north
easterly winds and snow storms on
the Atlantic coasts, especially from
New York northward and eastward
to New Brunswick. Behind these
storms, rising barometer and decided
GOLD wave will come down out OF
the northwest, making itself felt
over most parts of the country.
Wise and well-posted students OF our
forecasts and STERN charts will not
be''caught mapping by any stealthy
blizzard that may invade our coun-
try through the gates of the north
west at this period Neither will
they be wholly unprepared for the
care and comfort of their livestock:
On and touching the 10th and 18th
will come very noticeable reaction
to warmer-another fall of the bar
ometer will pass eastwardly across
the country, merging into more
storms of winter rain, turning 10
general snow. The passage of the
Moon over the celestial equator on
the 18th, blending with the pertur-
bations of Winter Solstice and
Moons last quarter, will cause some
winter thunder and lightning in Sec
tons southward, but the general
disturbances will be boreal in char
