AMADA MIA

Amada mia; Hoy mi coraz6n
esta en- plentiful de tristeza. Mira
como ell glacial aquil6n del otoho
destroza sin piedad las flores mas
hermosas de mi quimera.
Amada mia: Hoy mi coraz6n
esta en- plentiful de tristeza. Mira
fijamente a mis- ojos, no quites
de ellos nj I'm momento tn vista,
y sentiras tambien tristeza en- tn
coraz6n al e que ell milo esta va
cast yerto para ell amor.
Armada mia: Hoy mi corazon
esta en- plentiful de tristeza. Mira
fijamente a mis- labios, que tie
men inmensa ansiedad de besarte;
pero que Sc eximen de hacerlo por
tenor a inficionar los claveles
rojos de tus labios, con su alien
to.
Armada mia: Hoy mi eoraz6n
esta en- plentiful de tristeza. Mira
como mis- manos desean sentir la
felicidad de acariciar dulcemente
tn gallardo cuerpo; pero no Sc
atreven a este, porque va han
a~cariciado otros que no tienen
como ell tuyo, nj la blancura ideal
del armino, nj la hermosura sere-
ma del marmol helenico.
Armada mia: Hoy mi coraz6n
esta en- plentiful de tristeza. He
visto por tn rostro rodar dos la
grimas que simulan dos perlas a
rrancadas a la inmensidad del O.
ceano. Amada mia, es porque llo-
ras mi dolor y mi sufrimiento
bendita seas por ESQ, y "que hoy
Y siempre mis- labios tie bendigan".

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Alexander Selkirk, the true Rob.
inson Crusoe, had some clothing in
his seaman's chest when he was left
on the island, but the supply ran
short.
There was roll Of linen cloth
in the chest and he used 1t TO
make shirts. New trousers and
cap he made from goatskins.
Having no needle or thread, he
did the best he could. He had a
pair Of long stockings, such as were
worn by men in those days, and
sat down to take them apart 50 he
could use the yarn as thread
Selkirk also cut the hide Of
goat into thin strips, and this was
something else to used as thread. 1t
was far stronger than the yarn from
his stockings.
Although he had no needle, he
he used to punch holes in the linen
and goatskins. Then he passed
what he was using for thread
through the holes.
Happily the island was blessed
with a good climate. The days were
usually mild, though there were
slight frosts in two months of the
year.
Besides the hut which he used
for sleeping Selkirk built another
hut in which to prepare his meals.
He made fire by rubbing sticks Of
pimento wood together. 1t was slow
work to make fire in that way and
he kept each bonfire alive as long as
possible.
The fire was used to cook the flesh
of the goats and for broiling craW-

the southern hammocks of Florida,
where it does very well, indeed. In
appearance the gooseberry reSem-
bles any other woody deciduous
plant, having broad elliptical leaves
and spines at the junction of the
stems and leaves.
The flowers are solitary, some
times clustered. There are rela-
lively few petals, and they may be
white, yellow or even red in color
and somewhat broader than the
greenish sepals. They do not have
a strong fragrance, though there is
enough to be recognized by the
human sense of smell, and most
certainly the insects are able to find
them and do their vital part in
transferring pollen.
There are always great poSsibili-
ties in clambering vines. They are
so ornamental This unusual plant
is also known as the blade apple
and IS much used as stock on which
to graft other species of cacti. The
woody branches reach a length of
from 10 to 20 feet. The leaves are
rich crimson when young, turning
10 green above and yellow under
meath later in the season.
The fruit, an attractive yellow
berry, is very abundant some years.
1t reaches the size of a queen olive.
1t is slightly rough when young, but
becomes very smooth as it ripens.
In the warmer countries the bar
bados gooseberry is now being culti-
waited extensively.

found along the seashore and to eat
them kept him from growing too
tired Of goats flesh.
Sailing vessels which had visited
the island in past times had left
two kinds of animals behind them
by accident. These were rats and
cats
Selkirk was bothered by the rats,
which were so bold as to nibble at
his feet while he was asleep. This
gave him the idea of tanning some
OF the cats. To do so he tossed
small pieces of goats flesh to them
and in time several of them became
quite tame. They stayed In and
around the sleeping hut and kept
off the rats very well.
