How Porto Ricans Shave.
The natives of our new territory,
Porto Rico, have no need to buy soap,
for the wooded country abounds in
plants whose leaves and bulbs supply
most fully the place of that Indispen
sable article, Among the 'best of
these is the soup tree, so-called, al
though It Is more of a bush limn a
tree. Us bulb when rubbed on wet
clothes makes a snow-white lather,
which has an odor like old brown
soap. The Porto Ricans, who arc all,
from the highest to the lowest, great
dandles In their way, make soap out
of ooeonnnt oil and home-made lyo—
and a fine soap It is, smooth and fra
grant. This cocoanut oil soap Is used
for shaving. When a mini wishes to
have a shave in the morning he starts
out with lit* co •oflYut shell cup; tend,
his donkey-if, imlfTr. It
la never any trouble to find an empty
liobtle In Porto Itlco, Culm, Jamaicn,
or almost any of the larger West. In
dian Islands, even in remote spots in
the mountains. At least twenty gen
erations of thirsty people have lived
there and thrown away the bottles.
The man carries no mirror, he Is too
poor to own such a, luxury. Not oue
house In twenty In Porto Rico has
even the cheapest kind of a looking
glass, But generously rich nature
provides the mirror, as well ns the
eoap. The man goes to some conven
ient pool In the mountain stream
where the water Is quite ^till—there
Is his mirror. He breaks Ms liottle on
n stone, and deftly picks out a sharp
piece of suitable size. Then lie lathers
his face profusely, and begins to
‘•crape away with his piece of glass,
which In his hands works as well as
the best steel razor. A cut or even a
slight scratch, ,1s extremely rare as a
result of this al fresco form of shav
ing.

Greatly lb it Joyed.
President McKinley left the state of
Georgia Monday night after one of tho
pleasantost trips of his life. His
southern tour, which was given such
magnificent inaugural at Atlanta, was
not only uniformly pleasant, but uni
formly successful, and, as ho said: “I
liavo enjoyed every minute of iny time
in the south."
The chief executive returns to Wash
ington confident that bis trip will re
sult in & more thorough, indeed, a per
fect understanding between tho north
and south; that the north has a better
understanding of the race problem
ever present in the south, aud that the
people of the south had a better real
ization of the fact that all sectional
lines have been eliminated; and he
feels that having contributed to this
end, be, tho president, has good cause
for self congratulation.
In his remarks at Augusta he hade
an adieu to the south in general, re
ferred in touching terms to the pleas
ure of his visit to this section, and
how ho would ever cherish the memo
ries of it.
Tho early part of the day Monday
was devoted to Macon, and the closing
hours to Augusta. At both places the
entertainment was pleasant and inter
esting. Naturally, the military played
the most important part at each city.
The most interesting feature of the
Macon visit was the reception given
the president by the Bibb County
Confederate Veterans’ association and
tho testimonial they presented him.
The president carried hack with him
as the most interesting memento of
liia trip that parchment bearing his
own golden wilt words about the confeder
ate graves the indorsement of
these southern soldiers written on it.
At Macon the president wore while
speaking a Confederate veteran’s badge
which an old soldier of tho Confederacy
had pinned yn his coat.
At Augusta tlie veterans made a de
cidedly unique display, being ranged
in front of the speaker’s stand with
their battle-rent Confederate flags and
dressed in their old uniforms of gray.
The reception at the Commercial Club
was a very delightful affair, and every
body was pleased with the splendid
showing of the troops at Camp Mc
Kenzie.

States, shall make a request upon the
secretary of the treasury for samples
from original packings of such articles
for inspection aud analysis, and the
secretary of the treasury is hereby
authorized to open such original pack
ings and deliver specimens to the sec
retary of agricultuie for the purpose
mentioned. And the secretary of the
treasury shall refuse delivery of any
goods which the secretary of agricul

GREEN GOODS GOOD AS GOLD.
Genuine Money Sent Out as Balt by the Up*
to-Date Swindlers.
Chief Wilkie of the United States
Secret Service says the country is be
ins flooded with the circulars of green
goods operators, Many people send
the circulars to the Secret Service,
thinking they have discovered a nest
of counterfeiters. Twenty or thirty
of these circulars are sent daily to the
office of the Secret Service by people
who have received them. The office
has nothing to do with green goods
people, but generally sends a formal
answer to each person, warning them
of the nature of the scheme intended
to be worked.
“The green goods men have new
plans this year,” said Chief AVilkie.
“Formerly they sent out a circular
Inclosing an alleged clipping speaking
of the splendid counterfeit .money be
ing made, They claimed that this
counterfeit money was so fine as to
deceive Government officials, This
scheme was so often exposed in the
newspapers as to enlighten the public.
Now the green goods man makes the
following statement in his latest cir
cular: ‘Now, my dear sir, I am fully
aware of the suspicion and prejudice
that you naturally wifi entertain fol
my proposition, aR you will on first
thought class it as coming from a
iicc-n goods or sawdust swindler; but
If you will lay aside that prejudice,
apply common sense and look at my
proposition from a. business stand
point, compare it with the methods of
these petty swindlers and you will
credit me with not being fool enough
to waste my lime addressing a man of
your intelligence and standing in the
community. The methods of the so
called green goods swindlers have
been exposed from time to time in
the daily press. They send out seduc
tive circular letters to ignorant farm
ers with a newspaper clipping In re
gard to counterfeit money, &e., false
ly pretending that they are the par
ties spoken of in the article, and offer
ing to sell that which they have not,
inducing them to send on their hard
earned money nnd sending them n va
lise of sawdust or a brick or some
such in return. The reason these ras
cals find it profitable to work tills
game is because they know,' and they
take it for granted 'that the people in
general know, that there nre hundreds
of thousands of dollars, counterfeit, in
circulation, and as men have no moral
scruples against Increasing the money
circulation (in fact, the majority of
people are in favor of doing it by law,
as witness the late greenback craze
and the present silver agitation) they
are Induced to send on their money on
the very liberal terms held out to
them—five certs buying a dollar, or
some F'jtii absurd price, No intelli
gfnt man would do it. for their very
proposition is ridiculous.”
Chief Wilkie says that the circulars
now sent out by the swindlers are so
artfully worded as to deceive many
people. If the swindler begins a cor
respondence with a probable victim
he sends him a new $1 bill along with
a second circular as a sample of his
work. The bill is genuine, however.
Sometimes the would-be victim in
closes this dollar to the Secret Service
without saying where he got it, and
asking if it is genuine. The Secret
Sen ice officials write him that it is
the best made, but they manage to in
close him a circular which opens his
eyes ami makes him see how the
green goods man is working on him.

BOW A CHINAMAN FISHES.
Trains Cormorsuts and Makes Suckers Do
It Isr Hiss.
"Speaking of the natural Instinct
and fcxtent to which the faculties of
birds may be developed,” said an old
bird trainer to the writer recently,
"perhaps one of the most interesting
examples of this Is the way the cor
morant Is tra'ned by Chinaman tq
catch fish. The coromant is a very
Intelligent bird and Is easily domes
ticated. They readily lay when cap
tured and their eggs are batched out
by chickens. When a Chinese fisher
man has half a dozen or more of these
birds he beglus while they are still
young to teach them to obey his com
mends and to come to him when they
T called. He next allows them their
rga In the water, where they
icvtjpp their natural lncllua
tlou to dlve lu search of fish. Bui as
the birds Invariably bolt the flslt
which they catch, a metal ring is
fastened snugly around their necks
and this prevents them s (Following.
“The fisherman takes his birds out
on a raft to some favortible fishing
ground and puts them overboard.
They begin diving in turns for fish.
As soon as a fish is secured the cor
morant comes to the surface to swal
low It, but Is prevented from doing so
by the ring around Its neck. The bird
Is then called to the float by the
fisherman, who robs it of Its prey,
and then loosens the ring and re
wards the bird with a small piece of
fish. The fisherman refasteus the
ring about the neck of the cor
morant and the whole operation is
repeated agnlsi and again, until the
bird becomes tired of diving, when
another cormorant Is put owerboard.
Some of these cormorants are so per
fectly trained that they will catch
and deliver fisli without being re
strained by the ring, and I have seen
one bird biAng to the surface as many
as twenty fish, all of which weighed
from a quarter to one and a half
pounds.
‘The Chinese, who have successful
ly trained the cormorant and the otter
to fish for them, have also taken the
remora In hand, with the happiest re
sults.
“Most voyagers in tropical seas are
acquainted with this peculiar fish,
which Is known generally by the tri
vial name of the sucker. The distin
guishing charatterlatic of this fish Is
laziness. Unwilling to exert Itself
overmuch in the pursuit of food, it
has developed an arrangement on the
back of its head exactly like the cor
ruga'ed sole of a tennis shoe, and as
artificial in appearance as If made
and fitted by the hand of man.
“When the sucker finds itself in the
vicinity of any large floating body,
such as a ship, a shark, or a piece of
flotsam, whose neighborhood seems
to promise an abundance of food, It
attaches Itself ' firmly thereto by
means of this curious contrivance,
which permits it to eat, breathe, and
perform all necessary functions while
being carried about without any ex
ertion on* its part. It can attach and
detach itself Instantaneously, and
holds so firmly that a direct back
ward pull cannot dislodge it without
injury to the fish.
“Several good-sized specimens of
tho fish having been caught, the
Chinese fisherman fits small iron
rings to their tails, to which he at
taches long, slender, but very stout
lines. Thus equipped, tho fisherman
sets out, and when a basking turtle
is seen two or three of the suckers
are put overboard. Should they turn
and stick to the bottom of the fishing
raft, they nre carefully detached by
being pushed forward with the in
evitable bamboo, and started on the
search again. At last they attach
themselves to the supine turtle. Then
the fisherman hauls in the lines,
against which gentle suasion the
hapless clielon struggle in vain. Once
on hoard the raft the useful remora
Is detached, and is at once ready for
use again.”
Had No Fears.
“Ain’t you afraid to undertake a
trip of 500 miles with such a team as
that? Your off horse will give out be
fore you’re half way there.”
“Don’t you worry about that boss.
He’ll drop dead about the time we git
to Skedunk, and the good people tbar
will raise a purse and buy me a better
one. This hain’t the fust time I’v6
movel, stranger.”—Chicago Tribune.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. A^ the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
. ties. The high standing of tlie Cali
fornia Fig Sykui* Co. with tlie medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial'
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —
