A Porto Rican Rhapsody.

From Correspondence of lions Herald.
When Columbus saw these gentle emf
nences and rolling valleys filled with
trees OF new aspects with every variety
OF foliage, with such a display of flowers
Of gorgeous hue as the adventures had
never seen before, and with fruits of
great variety of form and color hanging
from the trees. and heard the songs of
the birds of which he speaks. "breathed
the pure and balny atmosphere. and saw
the crystal transparency of the WATER
Is 1t to be wondered at that he crazed
all Europe with his reports'
And the mountains are filled with springs
Of living waters. the valleys with fast
flowing rivers. 1T is estimated that there
are fifty-one large rivers and over 1 300
small streams. greeks and rivulets which
find their way through the nterlacing
mountains, deep gorges and across
the bottom lands down TO the encircling
ocean" How could fertility be more fer
tile? For centuries there has been a
saying: No one goes hungry in Porto
Rico" Some kind of ripe fruit hangs
from the trees or on the bushes every day
in the year. The attitudes in both the
north and the south temper the latitude,

ORRIS ROOT.
How It Is Grown and Gathered on
the Hills Near Florence.
From the Queen.

From the Queen
Most people know that orris root is
one of the chief ingredients of violet
powder: many others are we'll acquainted
with the strangely shaped pieces of white
root that seem like dried ginger which
give out the delicate and subtle scent of
the violet. and perhaps the privileged few
know that it is made from the roots Of a
kind of iris.
Never have / seen the cultivation of
the iris and the preparation of orris root
to such perfection as this summer in the
Tuscan Apennines, where Vallombrosa
lifts It's pine-cOvered head On the sunny
side of the mountains lies the whole dis
trct of the Val q Arno. and between Sal
tino and Plan oil SEQ the entire neighbor-
hood is given up to the cultivation of
vines olives and iris.
Indian corn. wheat and millet find
place, but wine, Oil and orriS root are the
three commercial industries. Pergolas
of vines stretch along as far as the eye
can see: vines with clusters of purple
or white grapes. olives laden with green

The iris. giasgolo. 1t is called in
Italy. is planted thinly. and allowed to
grow for three years, when the roots are
dug up and tied in big bundles. These
are then prepared. Nearly the whole of
the tuberous root is cut off, leaving only
a tiny bit with fbers in order that the
plant may grow when replanted as it is
at once for another three years of peace.
The tubers are then thrown into big
basins of water, and the whole family
of the contadine or peasant, sitting on
the doorstep of their house or under the
pergolas in the shade of the vines. begin
the business of peeling them previous to
their being dried in the sun for the mar
ket. Everybody Is busy with the small
sickle-shaped knives trimming the iris
root In it's fresh condition it is sold
for about 20 centimes the kilo. about >
cents pound. But after a few days
exposure to the brilliant italian sunshine
on large wicker-work trays it loses two
thirds OF its weight. and is sold to the
wholesale merchants at 8 cents a pound |
