we are introducing into Porto Rico
is the mango. We are securing the
world for the best varieties and are
planting them in verious parts of Por-
to Rico. 1 don't know that you real
ize that therle is as much difference in
mangoes as there is in peaches and
apples. / have seen some In East At
RIGA as large as a small cantaloupe,
finely favored and delicious. There is
a mango with very thin seeds grown
in the Philippines. and there are 9TH
er mangoes with different flavors in
other parts of the tropics. A few years
ago bananas were no more common
in the United States than they are
now in Germany Mangoes will some
day be eaten all over this country. 1t
is not true, as has been stated, that
the fruit has so much juice that the
only place one can eat 1t is In the
bath tub.
Another fruit which we are setting
out in Porto Rico is the mangosteen,
which grows in the East Indies. and
which is the delight of all travellers.
We shall have large quantity of trees
planted and hope that the arrange
ments will be such that the fruit can
be exported to the American cities.
1 have kent mangosteens three weeks
on a 50 ner. and in cold storage
chambers they could be preserved
fresh for month. 1t is only about
four days from San Juan to New York,
and there is no reason why the fruit
could not be shipped from one place
to the other"
Sailed Almonds.
Are we doing anything in nut cul-
ture?"
Yes" said Mr.. Fairchild. II spent
some time year or so ago looking
! for almonds that might be successful
ly grown IN California and similar re-
| gions. l found that the Jordan almond
was the best variety for the sailed or
burnt almonds which are served on
our dinner tables. We are now spend
ing a million and one-lalf dollars an
nually for such almonds, and the de-
mand is rapidly increasing. This Jor-
dan almond grows in the mountainous
regions of Southeastern Spain. I Wis
tied that country and brought back a
great lot of scions from bearing trees.
These were sent by the Agricultural
| Department to California and used to
bud and graft thousands of young
trees there Some of the trees are al
ready producing, and the probability
is that we shall grow all we need.
These Jordan almonds have hard sheels.
The women and children of the Span
,sh mountain villages crack the nuts

Japan's wonderful Paper Plant.
The conversation here turned to the
Japanese paper plants which are now
being brought to the United States.
The Japanese make the finest papers
of the world. They have some which
look like silk, so strong that a large
sheet of one of them will support the
the weight of the average man. They
have the finest tissue papers. some of
which are imported by opticians for
wiping lenses and glasses, and the dem
lists all over the country dry out the
cavities in teeth prepatory to filling
them with gold with a porous paper
made in Japan. Mr.. Fairchild showed
me samples of some OF these papers,
and, among other things, what looked

store in this country. 1t was made OF
paper instead of leather. and 1 was
told it had cose just IS cents.
The Japanese papers" said Mr..
Fairchild come from different sourc-
es, but chiefly from the mitsumata
plant which covers the hillsides and
is also grown between the rice fields
throughout central Japan. 1t is a
perennial shrub with long, lance
shaped leaves and yellow flowers. Its
bark has long, delicate fibers. and it
is secured by cutting the plant and
stripping OF the bark which is then
macerated and made into paper.
This plant could be grown in the
United States, and II might be harves-
ted by machinery. The plants grow
from the seed and afterwards set out
and cultivated. They are cut off from
year to year, other sprouts coming up
their napkins, umbrellas and lanterns
out of such paper. 1t takes the place
of glass in the walls of the peoples
houses and as oiled paper serves as
rubber blankets and rubber coats. 1

to 1000 pounds of bark can be annual

when made into pulp is worth in ia

should say, of 800 or upward per

WORD TO BUSINESS WOMEN
The Treatment They Receive from
Men Depends Much Upon
Themselves.

Every now and then there comes
cry from those of the old fashion, COM
planning that in the modern way of
living women have lost the place they
once held, and that by going into busi-
ness and competing in the great
handicap" they have forfeited all the
nice consideration which was once given
them, says Woman's Home Companion.
In measure this may be true, but it
is not that people look on workers with
any less respect. The cause of the de-
cline in courtesy, if there is really such,
lies with the individual. How men or
the world treat a woman is all in her
own hands. AS she thinks of herself, so
will the world think of her. Her treat
ment will depend upon her own con-
ductand her own reception of any partic-
ular attitude. If she permits a loupg-
ing friendship or a too familiar man
ner, she will get that. But even the
most thoughtless of men will scarcely
risk offending woman unless he is
given an opportunity. A woman need
have no fear of being taken for less than
she takes herself. In business she must
conduct herself as carefully and as cir
cumspectly as she would in her own
home. She must remember always that
she is a woman, and she must be woman
ly. The girl who respects herself will
find respect, aid and kindness, wherever
she goes among Americans.

WORKING FOR WIDE TIRES.
Bureau of Road Inquiry Says Dirt
Roads Are Improved Wonder
fully by Their Use.

The United States bureau of road in
quiry has been making study of the
width of tires prescribed by local and
national authorities IN various parts OF
the world. In France every freighting
and market cart, instead of injuring
the highway, improves it. Many of the
tires are ten inches wide. In the four
wheeled vehicles in that country the
rear axle is IA inches longer than the
fore, and as result the rear wheels run
on line about an inch outside the level
rolled by the front wheel After a few
loaded wagons have passed over road
the highway looks as if a steam road
roller had been at work. national law
Germany prescribes that wagons heav-
lly loaded must have tires not less than
four inches wide. In Austria the mini
mum for similar vehicles is 61a inches;
in Switzerland, six inches
In number of states in this country
laws have been passed granting rebate
OF highway taxes to citizens who use
on lumber wagons tires not less than
three inches wide. On toll roads in
Kentucky and several other states, farm
ers hauling loads in wide-tired wagons
are entitled to lower rates than those
paid by the owners of narrow-tired
vehicles.
At an experiment station it was DEM
onstrated that it requires 40 per cent.
more power to draw load on a wagon
with one and one-half inch tires than
on one with three-inch tire. With a
dynamometer, careful tests were
made with loaded wagons drawn
over bluegrass sward. In a wagon
weighing 1000 pounds it was found
that load of 3,248 pounds could be
drawn on wide tires with the same force
required to move 1000 pounds On mar
row tires. Moreover, the wide tires
did not injure the turf while the mar
row ones cut through it. In some parts
OF the country pioneers in the use of
wide tires have had to stand a good
deal of ridicule. The manifest bene-
fit to roads, however, soon changes pub
lie sentiment.
The president of a leading wagon man
ufacturing company states that the de-
mand for wide tires is increasing every
year. Another company in the same line
OF business conducted a series of tests.
and was convinced that on very haro
roads the preference, as far as draft is
concerned, is for narrow tires. In the
eftect upon the roads, however, wide
tires have the advantage.

of the sea, which should be worthy of
a truly wicked reputation. A pirate
bold, he would consort with pirates
bold. So he set sail for the gulf of
Honduras, then great rendezvous for
piratical craft of many nations. If the
father Of Kate Bonnet had captured
and burned dozen ships, and had
forced every sailor and passenger
thereupon to walk plank, he would
not have sinned more deeply in the
eyes of Dickory Charter than he did by
thus ruthlessly, inhumanly, hard
heartedly, and altogether shamefully
ignoring and pitilessly passing by thrt
island on which dwelt an angel, his
own daughter.
But Bonnet declared to the young
man that it would now be dangerous
for him and his ship to approach the
harbor of Kingston, generally the re-
sort of British men-of-war, but in the
waters of Honduras he could not fail
to find some quiet merchant ship by
which he could send message to his
daughter. Ay! and in which-and the
pirates eye glistened with parental
joy as this thought came into his mind
he might, disguised as plain gen
tleman, make visit to Mistress Kate
and to his good brother-in-law, Della
plaine.
So Dickory was forced to be satisfied.
and even to admit that there might be
some good common sense in these re-
marks of that most uncommon pirate
Capt. Bonnet.
So the Revenge, with her tender
sailed southwark, through the fair
West Indian waters and by the fair
West Indian isles, to join herself to
the piratical fleet generally to be found
in the waters of Honduras.

The spirits of Dickory rose very

The spirits of Dickory rose very
much as the bow of the Revenge was
pointed southwark. Every mile that
the pirate vessel sailed brought him
nearer to the delivery of his message
message which, while it told of her
fathers wicked career, still told of his
safety and of his steadfast affection for
her. Indirectly, the bringing of such
a message, and the story of how the
bearer brought it, might have another
elect, which, although he had no right
to expect, was never absent from Dick
ory's soul. This ardent young lover
did not believe in Master Martin New
combe. He had no good reason for not
believing in him, but his want Of faith
did not depend upon reason. If lovers
reasoned too much, it would be sad
world for many of them.
When the Revenge stopped in her
progress towards the heavenly island
OF Jamaica, or at least that island
which was the abode Of an angel, and
anchored off Charles Town harbor,
South Carolina, Dickory fumed and
talked impatiently to his friend, Ben
Greenway. Why man, even though
he were pirate, and therefore of an
avarlcious nature, should want more
booty, when his vessel was already
crowded with valuable goods, he could
not imagine.
Dickory did not know very much, or
care very much about the sea and its
commerce, and some ships to be robbed
soon made their appearance. One was
large merchantmen, with full car
60, and the other was a bark, north
ward bound, in ballast. The acquisi-

was already overloaded, and he deter
mined to take the bark as a tender to
relieve him of portion of his cargo
and to make herself useful in the busi-
ness of NARROWING and such trouble
some duties.
Being now commander of two ves-
sells, which might in time increase to
fleet, Capt. Bonnet's ideas of his own
Importance as terror of the sea in
creased rapidly. On the Revenge he
was more despotic and severe than
ever before, while the villain who had
been chosen to command the tender,
because he had fair knowledge of
navigation, was informed that If he
kept the bark more than a mile from
the flag ship he would be sunk with
the vessel and all on board. The loss
of the bark and some men would be
nothing compared to the maintenance
OF discipline, quoth the planter pirate
Bonnet's ambition rose still higher
and higher. He was not content with
being relentless pirate, bloody if
need be, but he longed for recognition,
for position among his fellow-terrors
