pended. consequent upon the operations or
Gen. Rcis around Mexanorjan, fifteen
kilometers north of Manila, beyond which
the dangerous zone begins.
The people of the northern provinces
are still loyal. On Friday a column of
ESQ native troops deserted from Bulacon.
There are frequent executions, but they
are Intellectual. There We're twenty enc

rebels at CaNitc, has two ladies impris-
Oned in the rebel stronghold.

Bicycle Fire Engine.

In Paris is to be seen a fire engine
propelled by cycling fremen. The ma
chine has the appearance of two tandem
bicycles coupled with single steering
post. Hanging between the two bicycle
frames are the hose reel and a rotary
pump. The whole outfit weighs less
than 40 pounds, and four experienced
wheelmen can push this along faster
than any other fire engine ever went
The foot power Of the four men propels
the machine to the scene Of action, and
when once there the Same power pumps
the water. After the arrival at the scene
each man is assigned to some part of
the duty of making the change. One
raises the back of the machine on leg,
allowing the rear wheels to revolve
freely. He also throws the pump into
working order, and the others have IN
reeled the hose and made the coupling
connections Then, jumping into the
saddles again, the energies of the men
are directed to pumping. About 4,5OO
gallons of water per hour can be thrown
between rs and 100 feet in the air. The
rapidity with which the machine can
be propelled to a fire aud also with
which it can be put into action are its
two great advantages. In two or three
minutes after it's arrival ali necessary
changes can be made and the machine
JIG pumping q stream over the roof.

Christina Rossetti.

Christina Rossetti is known TO the
world, and very happily known, BY her
brothers. portraits Of her, and in partic-
ular by the singularly beautiful chalk
drawing in profile dated 1866. 1 think
that tasteful arrangement OF dress might
have made her appear q noble and even
q romantic figure SO lnto rs 1870, but,
as suppose, an ascotic or almost Meth
odistic reserve caused her to clothe her
self in style, CT with al absence OF
style, which was really distressing. Her
dark hair was streaAed across her olive
forehead, ard turltd rp i'll chienon
Her high, stiff dress ended i'll hard col
