PORTO RICO'S FAIR MAIDENS.
Love-Ma king la Somewhat Dlfllcult
Uovrii at Hun Jiiun.
Augusta Ortiz, of Snn Junn, Porto
Ulco, wild to a Haiti more Sua re
porter: "Sun Juuu Is a pretty town,
with lots of colors and n gay peoplu.
l'liey dress neurly like you here, except
toncernlng the trousers. The men wear
1 a coat and vest, collar and shirt, like
j Americans; but the trousers are half
Spanish uud half French, very wide to
the knee and very tight below.
i "The girls have a hard time, not near
tly as nice as the Unltimore girls, and
the young men have, lots of trouble In
l making love. The girls wear gowns
, like those here, but arrange their hair
with a swoop that takes It buck off the
j forehead to a knot In the back, and
sometimes It hnugs nil the way down
i without it knot. It Is very pretty, but
I still they have a hnrd time. Why, a
young girl there cannot go out alone
like one can here, but she must take
some older friend or some relative us
l a chaperon. At home, when a young
( man calls to see his girl, If he Is much
1 In love it makes lilin very, mad to llud
Dither a father or a mother or older sis
ter sitting In the same room, nnd they
i will sit there until he goes. Itcally, the
! only chance a fellow hits to talk to the
, girls without some one hearing all he
says Is ut the dances, which nre given
every week at tho different clubs, nnd
even then he has to talk to her quickly
while ho Is dancing, for when they stop
bIio tins to go back to her mother, or sis
ter, or aunt, or somebody, The young
men, however, make the best of the
dances. When you wnnt to marry a
girl you have to ask her parents ilrst
of all, because you get no chance to ask
the girl. This Is a very bad custom.
Iloth men and women In San Juan nnd
all over the Island wear clothes of
much more color than Americans, and
you rarely see a dark suit of clothes on
j a man. The' girls nre gay, with all tho
colors of the rainbow, nnd with moro
I of a elinnce to nee them without chape-
I rous life there would be very pleasant."
GIANT ELEPHANT'S TUSK.
Ilroiiirli tOut of Interior nfOerninnKnnt
Atrlcn, unit We Ik In i!ll l'miiida.
A gigantic elephant's tusk has been
brought from the Interior of German
, Hast Africa. A native was the fortun-
I nte hunter who bagged tho trophy, and
It Is said that the fellow tusk was only
, n trlllu smaller. The big tusk weighs
Ml pounds.
The two tusks wero brought by way
of Itagamoyo to Zanzibar, where an
American acquired them at n fancy
price. Some Idea can be formed of tho
gigantic size of the elephant when It Is
l.t AN I' KLM'IIANT'H TUMC
known that It carried about with It nn
nppeudngo of nearly GOO pouuds In
tusks!
Elephants of this size nro becoming
rarer every day, Tho merciless war of
extermination carried on for years
against the elephant by Ivory hunters
hns been only too successful. Where
ouco Immense herds were to bo seen, a
man now mny travel for hundreds of
tulles In the vain search for those forest
monsters. They tend to retire further
nnd further from the coast In quest of
solitudes as yet unlnvnded by man.

It Is estimated, though, that If papa

hold out to attend a family reunion of
their offspring held In the latter part of
August upward of 000,000 of their
own blood and kin would come to the
picnic, not counting maggots In arms.
Fortunately for them, papn nud niiiiu

would bo full of, 'Why tight flies? So

Just like other people and hate just as

The labor of oiling wagon wheels by

Bpokcs, with nn opening cut through
tho hub nnd box to allow the oil to How
to the shaft. Inside the oil-cup Is a

at each revolution of the wheel, thus
forcing a small quantity of oil through
the minute opening lu tho wheel box.
The force of the fall of the plunger li

the device noiseless, and It Is only nec

PLANETARY MOVEMENTS.
True Theory Advanced hyAitclent PI' 11
o.nphcr l'ythii(rt.in.
In the earliest times lu which men
began to give anything, like scientific
attention to the movements of the heav
enly bodies, the planets or "wander
ers," ns their name Implies, nppenr to
have been regarded sometimes ns living
beings, mostly dellled heroes, and
sometimes ns the abodes of these be
ings. The men of these ages naturally
took what they saw for granted nud
believed the earth to be the center of
tho universe, with the sun,vmoon and
other heavenly bodies moving round it.
In course of time, as observation be
came more exact, the Irregularity of
the apparent orbits of the planets was
noted aud accounted for by fixing them
In revolving crystalline spheres or
zones, the smaller Inclosing the earth
nud the rest outside working nt varying
distances and nt varying speeds. In
each of these a planet was fixed, nud
so tho Irregularity was accounted for,
swiftness or slowness of revolution be
ing taken ns a criterion of proximity or
distance. This was practically the the
ory udopted lu whnt Is called the Ptole
maic system. This system had been
shaping Itself from tho times of Pluto
aud Aristotle, and remained generally
accepted until the demonstrations of
Copernicus demolished It. It Is, how
ever, well worthy of note that Pythag
oras, a)out five centuries before Christ,
had ndvunccd the truo theory of the
universe, that Is to say, the 'revolution
of the earth aud Its sister planets round
the- sun. This, however, conflicted
strongly with tho preconceived Ideas
of the philosophers of Greoco nnd
Home, nud subsequently with those of
the theologians, who considered that
they were bound to consider tho earth
as the center as well as the end. and
nlm of creation. Hence, It was not
until Something like 2.000 years after
the denth of Pythagoras that his theory
was practically confirmed by the as
tronomers of tlie sixteenth nnd sovcu.
teeuth centuries.

A -wnnderlng minstrel, who started

off his buck and began to piny. Tho
