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.

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. BIG BLAZE IN TERRE HAUTE.

Whether ony member of the house has accepted any office under the United States; and “2. Whether the acceptance of such office under the United States had vacated the seat of tho member accept ing it.” JMr. Dingley, from the committee resolu- on ways and means, offered the tion for a holiday recess from Wednes day, December 21 to Wednesday, Jan uary 4, and it was adopted without division. Senator Mason, of Illinois, intro duced in the senate a resolution directing the committee on agricul ture to inquire into certain legislation pending before the German reicligtag calculated to prohibit the importation into 'Germany of American sausages and other meat products, and direct ing tho committee, should the legisla tion become law, to report immediate ly a bill to require the inspection of sugars, meats, wines and other food products which are imported into this country from Germany. The resolu tion went over until Tuesday. It is as follows; “Whereas, it has come to the atten tion of the people of the United States that there is pending in the German reichstag legislation which is calcu lated and intended to prohibit the ex portation of American sausages and other meat products into Germany, bo it, therefore, “Resolved, That the committee of agriculture be herewith instructed to inquire into such legislation and if the same becomes a law, that said commit tee are instructed to report for them a bill to require the inspection of su gars, meats, wineB and other tood pro ducts which nre imported into this country from the empire of Germany.” The large restriction number is of designed articles imported to apply, to a from foreign Cu&ut, ies. The clause is as follows; “The secretary of agriculture, when ever he has reason to believe that arti cles are being imported from foreign countries which are dangerous to the health of the people of the United 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 ture reports to him have been inspected and analyzed and found to be adul terated or otherwise dangerous to health.” INSIST ON IXDEPENDENCE.

All sorts of rumors are current in Manila as to what the Philippine re public. is doing with reference to the settlement of the Philippine question, but the Filipino newspapers insist that nothing but absolute independence will bo accepted by the natives. Senor Paterim, president of the cabled Philippine long a/^'—Ably, is to Madrid said to Lave few a message a days ago to tho effect that if Spaiu' would guarnuteo autonomy and other reform measures, the whole country would support Spanish rule in pref erence to any other form of foreign intervention.

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.

"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 laws of the Japanese la that of Inversion—at least It seems so to us. Viewing things from an Oriental standpoint, wc would probably think our present way of life the topsy turvy way and pity ourselves for shortsightedness and foolishness, as they do now. In Japan white Is mourning both for men and women, while women in dicate their age by their costume. The Japanese has no foundation to his house, but instead the root Is ballas ted, that being considered a better safeguard against the violent stormts. After dinner speeches are made be fore dinner, and probably no custom shows the innate good breeding of the Japanese more than this last. Think of the belated guests If such a custom were ours! Think of the speeches thrown to the air! Some of the Japanese symbols are Interesting and deserve recognition, so po’pular are their works of art in our homes.
