Porto Rican Crisis Caused By Money
 Trust, Says Report

Baltimore, Nov. 1.-The original l causes of the economic crisis from which Porto Rica suffered from 1913 until June of this year, according to a report submitted to the annual con- vention here of the American Fedora tion of Labor by Santiago Iglesias, president of the Free Federation of Workingmen of Porto Rico, were the islands system of production and the "tconcentration of wealth in the hands of the few"
 "Over two-thirds of this wealth wrested from our soil," he continued, 'has been taken abroad thus min imiZing circulation and neutralizing individual activities to the extent of converting the island into a region of freedom exploited by corporations that invest their capital in Porto Rico. . We have 150,0O0 children entirely devoid of all school facilities, the army of unemployed is enormous; the work of sanitation has been handicapped and laws conducive to the protection of labor have been suspended and the community at large has been placed in most embarrassing predicament"
 The rates of interest on loans to the poorer classes, MT. Iglesias said, are 12 to 20 and in some instances even 100 per cent.
 There are 13O unions in the Porto Rican federation with an aggregate membership of 12,O00 members

Proposing Wixn a Splash.


 One of the strangest courtship GUS. toms in the world is related of the Tarascan Indians of Mexico in the Ma ttonal Geographic Magazine.
 The land of the Tarascans lies due west of the City of Mexico, and here the natives retain many of their prac- hces which were well established when the Spaniards first landed at Vera Cruz. Here is the accepted method of courtship, for example:
 The lover goes to the spring where the object of his affections is accus- toned to fill her water jar. He holds her shawl until she accepts him, and then with a stick be breaks the jar which she holds on her head and gives her betrothal baptism of water. According to Prescott the Tarascans had a Noah, called :Trezpi, who es caped from a great flood in a boat laden with animals. Instead of dove Trezpi sent out vulture first and then humming bird, according to the legend.
 The Tarascans once possessed the se- cret of tempering copper, an art now lost to the world.

Freakish Requests.

Five thousand pounds for an eques- trian statue of himself! That was the principal item in the will of a Scottish farmer who died some few months ago The directions explicitly stated that the statue, cast of massive bronze, was to represent the farmer as cham pion at the Riding Musselburgh marches. A further sum of f2O a year is to be expended on upkeep.
 For sheer eccentricity. however. pride of place must be given to the will of former French railway official. Many years before he had made up his mind to quit this life by hanging him. self and actually planted a special acacia tree. On the trunk he placed the following inscription:
 Tree, which I strengthened and tended in thy young years, sustain me in my old age"
 By his will he left 100 francs for prizes Tor a bowling match to be played over his grave, and sufficient money was left to prsyide a banquet Tor eight of his frienS4, to be served around his coffin.-London Answers.

Malay Pearl Divers.

The Malay pearl divers are perhaps the finest in the world. When he is going to dive the Malay slowly lowers himself down from the side of the boat to the water and takes several breaths, each breath getting deeper and deeper. Finally he takes a tre- mendously long breath, turns head downward and plunges into the ocean depths.

Balloons and EauIes.

A book in Vienna bears on it's title page this legend: About the inven- tion of air navigation by means of bal looms and eagles, by Jakob Kieserer: published at the expense of the author by Herr Loeschenkohl, Kohlmarkt. Vienna, 1SO1." It is an elaborate trea- t1se on aviation in which a balloon is steered through the air by eagles which have been trained and deprived of their talons." Minute instructions are given as to how the birds should be harnessed, and suggestions are made as to the employment of double teams and relays. The author-inyentor expresses the hope that his idea may be employed first to expedite the deliy- cry of letters and dispatches and that persons competent as trainers of gfant birds will carry his wonderful idea' into execution.

No Time to Snila

At one of the ''tryout'' vaudeville houses young lady had just made her appearance as a single dancing act. There was good deal of genuine applause for her efforts. She made her exit and stood in the wings recoy- erfng her breath. The manager of the theater approached her. Very good,' said he. You went very well, indeed But why don't you smile? You never smiled once"
 If smiled" she answered gasping- ly, "Td forget my routine. I'll smile tomorrow night" Times Star.

In the still air the least sound causes a vibrat ton which may set enormous masses of snow moving. This is what occurred here.

SWeetenjna,

Many people can remember when brown sugar was practically the only kind in use. The pioneers found it to their taste. There are even today places where white or loaf sugar has never been seen on the table or in the kitchen.
 As for sorghum sirup, that thick and sweet product, it was used not only in coHee or tea, but on pancakes and warm biscuit. It was not half as bad as It sounds. Molasses in coffee was also common. We can also remember the widows advice to the minister who called to take dinner:
 Have some more lasses in your cof- fee, MT. Grimes. Have some more lasses. Twouldh't be none too good for you if twas all lasses.'
 1t is not a long step backward from sugar to sorghum, from electric lights to candles, from petroleum to whale Post-Standard.

Practical Test.

A teacher in endeavoring to explain to his class what compressed air was brought his bicycle into the room and leaned 1t up against the wall.
 "Now," he remarked, under the outer covering of that back wheel there is hidden force What is it?"
 "Injy rubber" said one smart youth.
 "No. Try again.
 The boy tried again, as did nearly every member of the class, but without success.
 At length one of the youngsters, who had been making close inspection of the machine, turned on the teacher with beaming face.
 T have it!' he exclaimed. sIts wind jest windy'
 After commenting the youngster, the teacher asked how he discovered the hidden force"
 Why" was the astounding reply, i've just stuck my knife in it to seer' London Globe
