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 A POttTO HICAN BREAD PEDDLER. 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. hay.PRANK PRANK Q. CARPENTER. 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.
