Washington. President Roosevelt's message, describing conditions in Por to Rico, and making recommendations for legislation he believes necessary, was read to the congress. It Is as fol lows: To the Senate and House of Represen tatives: On November 21 1 visited the Island f Porto Rico, landing at Ponce, cross- lag by the old Spanish road by Cayey to San Juan, and returning next morn lag over the new American road From Arecibo to Ponce; the scenery was wonderfully beautiful. especially among the mountains of the interior, which constitute a veritable tropic Switzerland. I could not embark at San Juan because the harbor has not been dredged out and can not receive an American battleship. I do not think this fact creditable to us as a station, and I earnestly hope that im artediate provision will be made for dredging San Juan harbor. I doubt whether our people as a whole realize the beauty and fertility f Porto Rico, and the progress that fcas been made under its admirable government. We have just cause for pride in the character of our represen tatives who have administered the tropic islands which came under our Sag as a result of the war with Spain; and of no one of them Is this more true than of Porto Rico. It would be Impossible to wish a more faithful, a ssore efficient and a more disinter ested public service than that now be ta; rendered in the island of Porto Rico by those la control of the insular government I stopped at a dozen towns all told, and one of the notable features in very town was the gathering of the school children. The work that has been done in Porto Rico for education bas been noteworthy. The main em phasis, as is eminently wise and prop er, has been put upon primary educa tion; but In addition to this there is a normal school, and agricultural school, three industrial and three high schools. Every effort is being made to secure not only the benefits of ele mentary education to all the Porto Rlcans of the next generation, but also as far as means will permit to train them so that the industrial, agri cultural and commercial opportunities of the island can be utilized to the best possible advantage. It was evi dent at a glance that the teachers, both Americans and native Porto Rlcans, were devoted to their work, cook the greatest pride in it. and were endeavoring to train their pupils, not only in mind, but in what counts for far more than mind in citizenship, that Is, In character. I was very much struck by the ex cellent character both of the insular police and of the Porto Rican regiment- They are both of them bodies that reflect credit upon the American administration of the island. The in sular police are under the local Porto Rican government. The Porto Rican regiment of troops must be appro priated for by the congress. I earn estly hoie that ibis body will be Ke,a permanent. There should certainly be troops in the islan-l. and it Is wise that these troops should be themselves native Porto Ricans. It worj'd be from every standpoint a mistake not to perpetuate this regiment. In traversing the island even the ost cursory survey leaves the be holder struck with the evident rapid growth in the culture both of the su gar cane and tobacco. The fruit in dustry is also growing. Last year was the most prosperous year that the island has ever kno vn before or sines the .American occupation. The total of exports and imports of the island was $45,000,000. as against T1S,000,000 In 1901. This is the largest in the Island's history. Prior to the Ameri can occupation the greatest trade for Spanish Custom in Decay. Formerly the dowry of every peas ant girl in Spain Included a set of linen sheets. On account of the in creased cost of linen, this branch of trade has dwindled down to an insig nificant figure. Behind on Rent. "They say poor Shifter is ten years ahead of his time."

Wooden Saeene in Brittany. The nsaking of wooden spoons la handicraft in Brittany, aad one ef considerable Importance, for wooden noons are employed almost aalrer- CQHDITIOHS aaDy there for awe that ef ISM, whan It reached nearly f23.ieMw. Last year., therefore,' there was doable the trad that there Twas la the aost prosper cms year under the 8paaish regime. There were 216.273 tons of tragar ex ported last year,-of the valee of $14,-18-U1S; $3,555.13 of tobacco., sad 28,290,322 pounds of coffee of the valae of $3,481,102. Unfortoaately. what need to be Porto Rico's prime crop coffees-has act shared this prosper ity. It has aever recovered from the disaster of the hurricane, and, more over, the benefit of throwing opea oar Tftarket to It bas not compensated for the loss Inflicted by the closing of the Markets to It abroad. I call your atteatioa to the accompanying memo rial car this supject of the board of trade of San Juan, and I earnestly hope that some measure will be takes for the benefit of the excellent aad high grade Porto Rican coffee. There Is a matter to which I wish to call your especial attention, and that Is the desirability of conferring full American citizenship upon the people of Porto Rico. I most earnest ly hope that this will be done. I can not see how any harm can possibly re sult from it, and it seems to me a mat ter of right and justice to the people of Porto Rico. They are loyal, they are glad to be under our flag, they are making rapid progress along the path of orderly liberty. Surely we should show our appreciation of them, our pride in what they have done, and our pleasure in extending recognition for what has thus been done, by grant ing them full American .citizenship. Under the wise administration of the present governor and council, marked progress has been made In the difficult matter of granting to the people of the island the largest measure of self-government that can with safety be given at the present time. It would have been a very serious mistake to have gone any faster than we have already gone in this direction. The Porte Ricans have complete and absolute autonomy in all their municipal gov ernments, the only power over them possessed by the insular government being that of removing corrupt or in competent municipal officials. This power has never been exercised save on the clearest proof of corruption or of incompetence such as to Jeopar dize the interests of the people of the island; and under such circumstances it has been fearlessly used to the im mense benefit of the people. It is not a power with which it would be safe, for the sake of the island itself, to dis pense at present The lower house is absolutely elective, while the upper house is appointive. This scheme is working well; no Injustice of any kind results from it. and great benefit to the island, and it should certainly not be changed at this time. The machin ery of the elections Is administered en tirely by the Porto Rican people them selves, the governor and council keep ing only such supervision as is neces sary in order to insure an orderly elec tion. Any protest as to electoral fraeds is settled in the courts. Here again it would not be safe to make any change in the present system. The elections this year were absolutely orderly, un accompanied by any disturbance; and no protest has been made against the management of the elections, although three contests are threatened where the majorities were very small and error was claimed; the contests, of course, to be settled in the courts. In short, the governor and council are co operating with all of the most enlight ened and most patriotic of the people of Porto Rico in educating the citizens of the island in the principles of order ly liberty. They are providing a gov ernment based upon each citizen's self respect, and the mutual respect of all citizens; that is. based upon a rigid observance of the principles of justice and honesty. It has not been easy to instill into the minds of people unac customed to the exercise of freedom the two basic principles of our Ameri can system; the principle that the ma jority must rule, and the principle that the minority has rights which must not be disregarded or trampled upon. Yet real progress has been made In having these principles accepted as elementary, as the foundations of suc cessful self-government. I transmit herewith the report of the governor of Porto Rico, sent to the president through the secretary of state. All the insular governments should be placed in one bureau, either In the department of war or the department of state. It is a mistake not so to ar range our handling of these islands at Washington as to be able to take ad vantage of the experience gamed In one, when dealing with the problems that from time to time arise ia an other. In conclusion let me express my ad miration for the work done by the con gress when it enacted the law under which the island is now being admin istered. After seeing the island per sonally, and after five years' expert ence in connection with its adminis tration, it is but fair to those who de vised this law to say that It would be well-nigh Impossible to have devised any other which in the actual working would have accomplished better re sults.

A strange case of telepathy In con nection with a murder is arousing much interest in Milan, Italy. A wo man named Lazzaronl awoke sudden ly at three o'clock the other morning, and calling her son John, who lives in her house, told him that his younger brother. Leopold. living In the outskirts. of the town, was dead. The mother was deeply affected, but John tried to comfort her by as cribing her fears to a bad dream. At dawn, however, Leopold Lazzaronl, a handsome and strong young man, the owner of a dairy, was found dead at a spot some distance from his dwel ling. After having made an examina tion of the body, the doctors affirmed ' that Leopold had beep murdered ac tually at three o'clock in the morn ing. The next day the culprits were ar rested. The facts of the mother's vision, which have been duly authenticated, are the subject of endless discussion. TORTURED WITH ECZEMA. Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body Scratched Until Bled Wonder ful Cure by Cuticura. 'Last year I suffered with a tremen dous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until it spread over the whole body, and only my face and bands were free. For four months or so I suffered torments, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be. and until I suffered excruciating pains. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made np my mind that I would use the Cuticura Remedies. I used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed I was greatly re lieved. I continued until well, and now I am ready to recommend the Cu ticura Remedies to any one. Mrs. Mary Metzger. Sweetwater. Okbu, June 28, 1905." Squirrels as Walters. It has taken Fisk Goodyear ef Burchtown, Pa. two years to train his pet squirrels, but his efforts are now repaid, and on Thanksgiving he treated his friends to a surprise. I Gathering half a hundred or more gray squirrels, Mr. Goodyear taught them to go into the woods and pick ap nuts, carrying them to his home. On Thanksgiving night at a dinner his guests noticed a small board run ning from a window to a nut bowl. The host gave one knock on the table with his knife. A squirrel hopped 'down the plank and dropped a chest nut into the bowl. Two raps brought a squirrel with a walnut, three knocks a shellbark. I Finally, a grave old squirrel took his place and cracked the nuts, wind lng up the performance by brushing off the crumbs with bis thick bushy talL The Sunny South. Now when all outdoor farm work has ceased in the north, the term "sunny south" and all .that it means. appeals with full force to the northern farmer as he realizes that with him it is a case of remaining indoors for the next several months consuming everything that has been produced during the growing season. In the "sunny south" something can be raised every month In the year, and practically every day can be spent out doors. No blizzards. No sunstrokes. Cattle-raising is very profitable. Large profits are made with little labor in growing fruits, vegetables, etc.. for northern markets. Strawberries and cantaloupes are great revenue getters. Water unsurpassed. Work plentiful.

Crap YeartfOt. The manner in which the Canadian West has attracted settlers In recent years has canned many of oar jonraals and public men to "sit np and take no tice,'' to nse a enrrent phrase. From every Earopean coentry and. from al most every State la the Union large number of settlers have locked to the prairie provinces of- Canada, where free homesteads aad wide opportnn itles are open to an who desire to avail themselves of them. The greatest factor la attracting settlers lies in the inherent richness of soil aad suitability of climate for producing what Is universally consid ered to be the finest wheat In the world the "No. 1 Hard" of Canadian growth and other cereals that rank In the very first class. This year the harvest returns were: Wheat 9V $80,000 bushels; oats. 76,000.000 bush els; barley, 17,000.000 bushels; and when it Is considered that the entire population of the three provinces as evidenced by the qtklnquennlal census just completed Is only 810,000, -it Is easily seen that the lure of the Cana dian West Is in. Its agricultural poten tialities. Another feature which attracts the settler is that railway construction Is proceeding with such rapidity that al most every district "Is within easy reach of outside markets, and that good prices for all lines 'of farm prod ucts rule practically from the com mencement of agricultural "operations. This Is a factor which did not prevail when the earlier settlements in the West were nftoe In Canada and In the United States, and has given1 a great impetus to Canadian Western settle ment in recent 'years. The free grant system of home steads which' prevails in the prairie provinces, by which1 every settler who is able and willing to comply with the conditions of actual settlement (by no means onerous) is given 160 acres free, except $10 for entry, is a great drawing card, and in the last fiscal year gathered in over 189,000 addi tional to the western population, of which 57,798 were from the - United States. The further fact, as Is strongly brought about by the agent of the Canadian Government whose address appears elsewhere, that" a splendid common school system, practically free, prevails throughout the entire country, and is easy of access in even the most remote districts, Is another great inducement to the settler who has the future welfare of his family In mind, and this, coupled with the fact that western Canadian law and order are proverbial, completes a circle of good and sufficient reasons why the tide of Immigration has set In so steadily toward the country to the north of our boundary line.

A lawyer made his appearance at Colobar, West Africa, the other day and a Gold Coast newspaper, noting the fact, said: "It is very unsafe for the people for lawyers to practice at this place.

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used.
