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

The nearest of our insular possessions is Porto
Rico which lies in the Atlantic just at the east
ward end of the Greater Antilles The acquisition
of it from Spain has made 1t far better known
and more interesting to the people of these
States than 1t could have otherwise become in a
long period of time The transfer of American in
teress to the former Spanish colony has served TO
draw many persons thither who might otherwise
never have had their attention drawn to this nearby
place where 1t possible 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 familiar household words The
Industrial prospects of Porto Rico being rapid

Ample facilities for reaching all parts of Porto
Rico are afforded by, the New-York and Porto Rico

TO ESCAPE THE WINTER.
WHERE PEOPLE MAY CO.
Resorts Whose Climatic Conditions
Conduce to Comfort.

The superior places Of amusement. the lux
urious hotels picturesque drives and well
stocked shops are among the features which go
far toward making New-Yorz a desirable winter
home and these are responsible for the pres
ence in the metropolis during the winter months
of many persons who know of no finer winter
resort than this city. The torn up streets and
the crowded cars have no terrors for these
visitors. who rejoice in the beauties of their
own homes but whose highest ambition is to
become residents Of the metropolis
But all its advantages. its attractions and ITS
architectural beauties not enough to keep
some New Workers at home all winter The
summer holiday season was fer Eaany years the
only one known to the people of the North, and
having had their vacation at Saratoga, Newport
or Long Branch. possibly outing in a
mountain resort they were content to remain
at home until the next summer season came
with its warm weather and dull business times
But the Civil War opened the eyes Of the
people of the North to the beauties of the
Southern country, and men who went to the
front as boys in blue came back with stories
OF the Sunny South which made their families
anxious to visit that part of the country which,
despite the din Of battle and the scenes Of strife
was charming TO the uniformed visitors. Small
parties made trips to the South during the Re
construction period, and were contented with
the primitive accommodations which they found'
and their stories about the beauty OF the country
induced others TO go trere the next season with
the increase OF travel came additional trans
ro-tatior facilities and hotel accommodations
The little inns and old fashioned hotels gave
way 10 modern establishments, and the men
who were among the pioneers Of the visitors TO
the South in the winter months lived TO see the
luxurious hotels of New-York rivalled IN the
districts where once they were satisfied to camp
ou+ and order their dinners from bills Of fare
on which hog and hominy were the main feat

Still further south is the picturesque city Of
Savannah, with its fine old fashioned struct-
ures, its monuments and lroad drive. where one
may find hotel accommodations equal to any in
the country.
But the greatest treat is in store for those
whose winter vacation is long enough to allow
them to make trip beyond Savannah to that
part of the country which has been spoken of as

gustine. Palm Beach and tn many places in this

Chicago, H., Sept 25.-Raiiroada

The rules which have recently been

banks, was adopted. The admission of
Oklahoma as stltc is favored BY con-

Other resolutions adopted were fa-
voring classified enumeration of

The CrfrT1ina1ity
Of CareIeSSne

what is the cause of criminal care
lessness?" Two years ago a man ask
ed me the above question. He had
been having trouble and have been
thinking about the subject ever since.
1t may be due to ignorance. Some
claim that people are not as good
nor as bad as they appear to be-if we
knew more we would be better. But
we will know more IL we are any
good and have our goal in the right
place. The idea that experience is a
dear school, but fools will learn in no
other, might be revised to read: sit
is wise man who learns by expert
ence; fools never learn" Though a
man is not to be blamed for being
born ignorant, he can be blamed for
remaining ignorant. and continued or
repeated carelessness may be called
criminal.

REQUIREMENT OF
Better Results

A man inquired. How can accom-
plish most for the energy, time, force
and efforts expended? 1 feel that
must accomplish more, yet my
strength will scarcely admit of greater
expenditure. How can do It? is the
question"
When a store must have more space
for new goods and is unable to borrow,
rent or build. and all the space
it has is chock full, there is one
thing to do, and that Is throw out the
least important line Of goods. But
sometimes when it is thought all the
space is entirely occupied, careful in
vestigation and some mental calcula-
ton will produce more space. There
are counters to-day which use room.
formerly unoccupied, for holding
stock, and they give almost half as
much room as the shelves back of
them.
Busy doctors have to study prompt
ness, briefness and effectiveness.
Some doctors will make twice as
many calls during the day as some
others do, using the same time, the
same energy, and having left fully as
much strength at the end of the day.
To do an extra amount of work re-
quires an original study of self and
environments, coupled with syste-
matte effort to gain at every point.
Our opportunities for doing more
work and better work with the same
time and strength embrace a study
of improved methods, better habits,
more nutritious food, economy of
time, casting off unnecessaries, less at
tention to the least important, hunting
for waste places, training others to
do what they should for us, and trying
to find something every day new and
useful to us in our work.
