A new system of t'rayton Drawing, by which any one can learn to draw Pupils wlih no previous knowledge of art, and even those who have no special talent for drawing, are suc cessful. As much progress made by this system in two weeks as by the old methods In a year. By the "Black and White" system Any Sort of Picture Can bo Drawn any slr.e. Copies can be made accurately, life, size portraits made from photographs or tic- types. Landscapes Sketched directly from nature, Silhouettes drawn from life, and any kind of picture can be either en larged or diminished. The "Black and White" method of shading Is very different from any other system, the finish finer, and as much can be done in an hour as by other methods. A pupil who hns never had a lesson before can draw Ufe-sise portraits with from one to three week prac tice The system Is presented entirely on Its merits, no charge being made until The Pupil Is Convinced of Success. "Black and White ' la endorsed by artists and art teachers wherever Introduced, and Its suc cess Is phenomenal. Prof, Otis A, Miller, who Is teaching the system In person, has wide experience as a teacher of portraiture, his olasses always be ing large. Everything the pupil needs Is furnished with the lessons, and No Pnpll left Until Snccess Is Attained There Is no accomplishment more practical than "Black and White."

POPTJLATIOH IEAELT A MILLION. foelrnl and Eeoaomle Condition, Strategic Tain ana Proanetlva Capacity a Taey Exiat lader Vail ed State Owaerahlaw Perceataa-e f Illiterate and Prrsoaa of MUn Blaad. As toon as tie census of Porto Rico was completed last year tbe total popu lation of tbe Island was announced, to gether wltb one or two other leading features of the work. The war depart ment la now preparing to distribute copies of the full report In regard to this census made by Lieutenant Colo nel J. P. Banger of tbe Inspector gen eral's department Tbe report la In the shape of a well bound volume of over 400 pages and contains between its covers more reliable Information In re gard to Porto Rico than has ever be fore been given In such Intelligent form to the American people, says the Wash ington Star. Tbe figures of population as given out some time ago were approximately correct, tbe total being 953,243. This figure shows a decided Increase over that of tbe last census, which was tak en In 1S87. In fact, from tbe earliest census, taken tn 1705, the population has steadily increased from about 45, 000 a century and a half ago to nearly a million at the present time. Consid ering that the Inland is only about 30 miles wide and 100 miles long, It Is densely populated. About 62 per cent of the people are white, the other 38 per cent being of colored or mixed blood. Tbe percentage of mixed blood In tbe colored population of Porto Rico Is very much greater than In Cuba, for, while 52 per cent of tbe colored Cubans are full blooded negroes, 83 per cent of the colored Porto Hlcans are of mixed blood, many of them nearly white. A very large percentage of tbe popu lation of Porto Kleo Is of the agricul tural class, for only about 75,000 people live In the three elties on the Island. The percentage of Illiteracy Is very high. Elgbty-four per cent of the peo plewhich Is but one In six of the males and females over 10 years of age can neither read nor wrlta This is a higher percentage of Illiteracy than prevails In any one of the United States, or, in fact. In any other country from which statistics are obtainable, except Guatemala. Much of this lack of schooling Is apparently due to a residence In tbe country, for In the three large cities over 50 per cent of the people can read and write. The strategic Importance of Porto Elco was recognized at an early day, for attempts were made by England. Holland and Prance to wrest It from the control of Spain, though without success. The attacking parties did con siderable damage In their assaults upon toe city oX jSan Joan but owing to tbe excellent natural defenses and aided by yellow fever the natives were able to drive off tbe Invaders. Tbe Indian population of Porto Rico at the date of Its colonization by Spain Is said to bave numbered a bsif million souls. These Indians were copper col ored and very similar In character to the Indians of southern Mexico. They had Uttle Industry or enterprise and the Spaniards gradually exterminated them, reducing many to slavery. In 1543 It was reported to the king of Spain by tbe bishop of San Juan that there were but 00 native Indians on the Island. The recent census taken by the United States did not discover a single Indian of the aboriginal type, though close observers report many people In tbe Interior of unmistakable Indian descent The negro blood In Porto Rico comes, as In other West India lslhnds, through the importation of slaves, which com menced nearly 400 years ago and con tlnued until 1872, when slavery was abolished. This black labor was of great consequence to the Island In the cultivation of sugar cane, and when the slaves were freed the condition was made that they should work a certain number of years at a stated salary to prevent any dlsnsfer to large employ ers of labor. There are a few Chinese In Porto Rico, none ever having been brought In under the coolie system as In other West India Islands. In Porto Rico their presence Is entirely volun tary. Cuba and Porto Rico have a smaller percentage of colored people In the population than any other West Indian Island, Cuba having 33 per ccut and Porto Rico 38. In the other West Indies the percentage of negroes runs from 01 In the Bermudas to 08 In Jamaica. Each of the American coast states, except North Carolina, has a smaller proportion of whites than Porto Rico or Cuba. There are 201,071 males of voting age In Porto Rico, and over 00 per cent Of these are native born. About 3 per cent of the popu latlon Is Spanish, these people being concentrated tn tbe commercial centers, where they are engaged In business. The conjugal condition In this Island Is very similar to that In Cuba, for less than 17 per cent of the adults are mar ried. Seventy per cent of the adults ire single. About 0 per cent llvp to gether by mutual consent and more than 4 per cent are widows and widow' ers. The proportion of the Island popu lation engaged In breadwinnlng Is only about one-third, while In Cuba the proportion Is about two-fifths. Of people 05 years of age and over more than one-balf are still working for a living In these two West India Islands, It la also to be noted tbat a large nun I II Pl!lOf D. D. 8.

The average death rate in Porto Rico during tbe past 11 years has been about SO per cent and the average birth rate about 35. There are no gains to tbe pop ulation by immigration and such a small gala from births that tbe popula tion is now nearly stationary and win probably be more so In the future un less American enterprise results in a greater development of agricultural area. Most of the area of Porto Rico Is held as farms, and more than one-fifth of tbe entire Island Is under cultivation. Tbe forest areas are small and almost entirely confined to the highest moun tains. Pew remains of the primeval forests are to be found, timber being very scarce, and most of tbat used In building la Imported. The Industries of trade, transportation and manufac tures are of almost trifling Impor tance. Seventy-six per cent of the en tire surface of the island Is Included within tbe 40,000 or less farms, wltb not less than 21 per cent of the entire area under tbe plow. These figures are In strong contrast wltb those for Cuba, for on the latter island only 30 per cent of the area Is Included In farms and only 3 per cent of the area Is under cultivation. The conditions In Porto Rico more nearly approach those prevailing In the Unit ed States, where 16 per cent of the area is under cultivation. Yet consid ering the density of tbe rural popula tion of Porto Rico, which Is far beyond that of any portion of the United States, the proportion of cultivated land Is small. Tbe average size of a farm In Porto Rico is 45 acres, of which about 12 acres are cultivated. In the United States the average farm contains 137 acres, of which 78 acres are Improved. In Cuba the average farm has an area of 142 acres, of which only 13 acres are under cultiva tion. Seventy-one per cent of all tbe farms In Porto Rico are owned by tbe whites, and 22 per cent are owned by colored people, making a total of 93 per cent of all the farms of Porto Rico cultivat ed by their owners. Five per cent were rented by whites and 2 per cent by col ored. This proportion of owned farms is unusually large. In the United States only 72 per cent of the farms are cultivated by their owners, and but few Individual states can show as high a percentage of occupancy by owners as can Porto Rico. The relative Importance of the crops raised In Porto Rico is shown by the area devoted to each crop. Coffee oc cupies 41 per cent sugar cane 15 pet cent bananas 14 per cent snd the bal ance Is divided among sweet potatoes, Indian corn, malangas, rice, cocoanuts and tobacco. Coffee Is by far the most Important crop, and tobacco, which is one of the leading products of Cuba, Is of but trifling Importance in Porto Ri co. The work of the war department In the taking of the census of Porto Rico has been remarkably thorough and gives at a glance a true reflection of the conditions which prevail on tbat Is land. In this work Colonel Sanger, aid ed byhe statistical experts. Professors Gannett and Wilcox, has been guided by the desire to present not only a nu merical compilation, but a sociological estimate of these people lately taken under the Jurisdiction of the United States, and he has succeeded In mak ing both the Cuban and Porto Rlcan census reports absolutely necessary to the library of any one desiring a rella ble reference In regard to matters therein treated. me welcome At the door from a happy, healthy wife, is something which the husband looks forward to all through the day's labor.

Many such a husband has worked a trans formation in his home-life by learning of the cures performed by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion. It cures diseases of the delicate organs, builds up the nerves, induces refreshing sleep, and transforms the sickly woman into the happy helpmeet. There is no al cohol in "Favorite Prescription" and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics. "My wife was sick for over eight years," write Albert H. Fulte, Esq., of Altamont, Grundy Co., Tenn. "Shehadutennediseaee and was treated by two physicians, but got no relief. At last I read in one of your Memorandum Books, about Dr. Pierce's medicines, and we decided to try his ' Favorite Prescription.' I sent to the drug store and got one bottle, and the first dose gave eaae and sleep. She had not slept any tor three night.
