Carpenter's Letter
( Continued from Seventh Pago. )
chicken farm near San Juan. Chickens arc
easily raised horn , but such a thins as ono
ho slzo of a Lnngshnn , a Plymouth Hock
tr a mnmmoth Hurt Cochin la unknown. It
would bo as Breat a curiosity as an ostrich.
Gel out of the way of that Koatl There
are goats wandering about through the
ccurt picking up what they can get. They
arc stray goats belonging to the city , and
lu not seem to bother the peddlers.
Let us go over there and visit the butch
ers. They sell chiefly beef , and wo look
n vain for mutton or lamb. There arc but
few lambs In Porto nice , and the only meat
of the town Is beef and pork. The hogs
are of the black , razor-back variety. They
are lean and scrawny , but their meat Is
lellclous. You seldom see them In the
market , for when ono Is kitted In the country
Lho neighbors come In and all have a great
feast. A common way of cooking the hog
Is to stick a sharp stick through It from

ono end to the other and roast It as a whole
over the coals. Don't turn up your noses. It
Is by no means bad , I can toll you.
AHIOIIK the HiitckierK.
The staple meat , however , Is beef. There
Is no better beef In Chicago than that which
Is furnished by the cattle of Porto Rico.
The only trouble Is that there are no cold
storage plants nor Ice houses In which to
keep It and freeze It , and It must bo eaten
the same day It Is killed. All the meat of
San Juan comes from ono man. Ho has
brught the right to furnish the meat for
the city for so much a year , and the butch
ers have to take the cattle which are
brought to the city slaughter houses by
him. The moat Is air subject to government
Inspection , and at present I believe the
prices are llxcd so that each butcher sells
at the same rate. Over each meat stall this
mornlug we see the figures " 28. " This Is
the price per kilo for which beef Is selling.
A kilo Is two and ono-flfth pounds , so that
beef Is selling at about a shilling of our
money per pound.
In another part of the market -wo flnd
dried beef for sale. This Is brought hero In
great quantities from Venezuela and other
wheres and It often brings a hotter price
than fresh moats. The most of It Is saltier
than the brlno of the Caribbean sea , but the
Porto Rlcans like It. They cook It up In
stows and cat It with rice and In other ways.
Another favorite article Is codfish , which Is
largely consumed and which Is sold In every
city and village and all over the country.
It Is a curious thing that these people do
not llko our way of cooking. The peons will
not eat our soup and meats. They prefer
codfish and dried beef. Among the native
soldiers who enlisted near Pence was a man
who became very sick. Ho was offered the
best of American soups , but refused them.
Ho was tempted with all sorts of dainties
from our commissary department In vain.
At last when ho was thought to bo dying
his wife , who lived five miles away , was sent
for. She came and cooked him a stow of
stale coilflsh and rice , which ho greedily
swallowed , and on this diet recovered.
In this same connection It Is hard to got
the Porto Rlcan horses to eat American oats
or corn. They prefer the rough , hard grass
of the Holds and turn up their noses at bran
and bated hay.

Locomotive Runs
The experiment of almost doubling the
inns of the passenger engines of Uio Hal-
tlmoro & Ohio , says the Railway ABO ,
has proved inoro successful than Us warm
est advocate had any Idea that It would.
Far a great many yiws the average run
on the Baltimore & Ohio was 125 and ISO
miles , and It was supposed that on account
of ttio heavy grades ono locomotive could
not bo used for a continuous run of 20fl
or 225 miles. However , General Manager
Underwood and General Superintendent < if
Motlvo Power Mlddloton determined to
mnko the experiment , and during the past
three months have demonstrated that tlicuo
continuous runs are not only successful , but
economical , even on the Baltimore & Ohio ,
where 1 , 2 and 2Vi per cent grades are
found. Passenger engines are now run con
tinuously from Cumberland to Parkersburg ,
a distance of 207 intlee. and from Cumber
land to Wheeling , 201 miles. From Cum
berland to Parkeraburg the engines go out
on trains 1 , * 3 and 55 , returning on trains
2 , 4 and 12. Prom Cumberland to Benwood
the run Is 200 miles , and tlio engines go
out on train 7 , returning on train 46. This
change hns enabled the road to reduce the
number of engines In that service from
twenty-four to twelve , and has doubled the
mileage of each engine when run from
Philadelphia to Washington , Washington to
Cumberland and from Cumberland to the
Ohio river. Each locomotive will average
very nearly 7,500 miles per month.
West of the Ohio river three engines ate
used to haul trains 7 , 8 , 40 and 47 between
Benwood and Chicago Junction , a. distance
of 190 miles , and ttiey will average about
7.C80 miles a month. These engines arc
double crowed. Pour engines at present are
running trains 103 , 104 , 105 and 10G between
Bonwood and Cincinnati , a distance of 254
miles , running through westbound and re
lieved at Nownik castbound. These en
gines are also double crowed and they will
average a monthly mileage of 7,650 miles.
Trains 3 and 1 , between Newark and Safl-
dusky , and local passenger trains between
Newark and Shawnco are run by two en
gines and three cnglnemon , the distance
being 150 miles. These engines will mnko
an average mileage of about 5,742 miles
per month. Trains 1C , 17 , 114 and 115 ,
running between Columbus and Sandusky ,
n distance of about 140 miles , are run by
ono engine , double crowed , with a monthly
mileage of about 8,012 mlivd. Trains 101 ,
102 , 107 , 108 , 111 and 112 , between Cambridge
and Cincinnati , a distance of 201 miles ,
are handled by ttireo engines and five ou-
glnomen , with a monthly average mileage
per engine of C.143 miles.
It Is estimated that under the new
method the englnemen make about
the same wages with less work. They average -
ago about 3,800 miles per month each , and
under ttio system west of the Ohio river
tbo _ saving Is equally ns great as has been
east of the river , as it now takes thirteen
locomotives to handle the trains , while for
merly twenty-five were required , It being a
net decrease of twelve locomotives.
Five American Women
The portraits of five American women In
bas-relief , reports Harper's Bazar , are to bo
placed on the western staircase of the capl-
tel at Albany Captain Molly Pitcher , Har
riet Becchor Stowo , Prances A. Wlllard ,
Clara Barton and Susan B. Anthony. None
of them Is pictured as young. Mrs. Stowe
Is there ns an old woman , yet Mrs. Stowo
wrote "Undo Tom's Cabin" when but a lit
tle over 40 , and did nothing to equal It In
after years. Frances Wlllard was only
about CO when she died , but she had begun
the labors which brought her reputation
when quite a young woman.
Jt seeme a pity sometimes that the most
Important memorials of men and women
who have attained to eminence should bo
presented to us In portraits destined for
posterity as old persons , with their life
work done and the records of Its strug
gles not the glow of their youthful promise
written on tholr faces. Wo know Glad
stone best after his battles were all won ,
and the queen ns she sits almost helpless ,
with no trace In her face of the girl who
promised no more than she fulfilled , and
who became at once the Inspiration of her
subjects. Our best known portraits of Lin
coln were taken when his power was proved.
Suppose AVO had never known Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth In the days of her wonderful
beauty , but waited to see , her pictured as
an old person with glasses ! All that the
later years have proved In every one of
these cases was In thorn when young , un
developed , to bo sure , but there. It Is
apt to have a discouraging effect upon the
young , this disregard of the youthful promise
with the presentation only of Its attain
ments In old ago , and the cultivation of this
disregard creates almost unconsciously a
cortaln skepticism among us. Most of us I
have been taught to associate wisdom with
years and sincerity of purpose only with
Its fulfillment.
Fame
Detroit Journal : They had found the
hero's flist school teacher.
"Of course , " they exclaimed , with emo
tion , "you thought ho weul'd never amount
to anything ! "
"On the contrary , " replied this person ,
with tears in her eyes. "I thought he would
amount to something ! But pray do not
quote mo ! I do net wish to detract from
his fame ! "
Yet after all the truth might come out
better now than after the hero shall have
been nominated for president.
A Confidence Game
Detroit Free Press : "How did you like
your principal speaker at the club last
night , Mrs. Jones ? "
"Ho mailo us the victims of false pre
tenses , sir. Ho shall' never talk to us again
with my consent. "
"I thought him ono of the most c n-
Eclentlous of men. "
"Well , he's not. Ho told us he would
say only 'a few words' about commercial'
extension , and ho talked for nn hour r.nd
n half. "
