MOUSE ON A MOUNTAIN TOP.
Strange Discovery by Climbers on the
Summit of at. HeIens.

strange D1ecoVery by Clfn Ders on n
nit of at. He1ens.
When the vanguard of the Mazama
expedition to the summit of Mount st.
Helens arrived at the top of the noun
tain they moved some of the fragments
Of rocks to get at the box containing the
record of mountain climbers who had
reached the peak. This disturbed a
ous that had his habitation in that
desolate spot, and to escape from the
men who were taking such unauthor-
lied liberties with his home he left the
two or three square yards of rocks and
scampered out over the snow that
stretched an u%nbroken surface away
on all sides. There he was easily
caught, and Charles H. Sholes brought
the timid creature back to Portland
with him. The mouse took kindly to
his new environment and is alive and
hourishing now, not having suffered
any appreciable discomfort by the
great change in the altitude of his abid-
ing place The top of the mountain is
nearly 10000 feet above the sea.
The rodent is described as rather
large for a woodmouse, having very
large ears and a very long tail, being
the usual mouse color above and white
underneath. He is active and silent, but
watchful. He is believed to be of the
same kind as the mouse found a few
years ago on the top Of Mount Hood.
His description has been sent to Prof.
Merriam, who was to. have been the BIZ
ologist Of the expedition, but failed to
make connections in time. If he shall
find the little beast to be a new noun
tain climber a special examination will
be made into his case, and mousie may
become famous and have his portrait
In the learned books Of science.
T. H. Gardner, o. G. Yocum and
Jonathan Humphrey, who made the
ascent of Mount Hood recently, report
ed that they saw a pine squirrel on the
top CT the mountain, much to their as
constituent. The squirrel Is said to
have been on the mountain about two
weeks and seemed to be well fed and
lively, though what he finds to live on
there Is a. mystery. The climate and
scenery will suffice for a large degree of
satisfaction al that solemn height, but
stomachs, even of mice and squirrels,
are supposed to require something
more than a charming aspect-Morning
O%regonian.

When to Stop Advertising.

When you have convinced every one
whose life will mingle with yours that
you have better goods at lower prices
than he or she can get an-where else.
When you perceive it t. be the rule
that men who V adve' Use are out
stripping those in the sam line of bust
ness who do.
When men stop making fortunes
right in your sight solely through the
discreet use of this mighty agent.
When you forget the words of the
shrewdest and most successful bust
ness men concerning the main cause of
their prosperity.
When every mar becomes a creature
of habit SO thoroughly that he will buy
this year where he bought last zeal.
When younger and fresher houses in
your line cease starting up and using
the newspapers In telling the people
how much better they can do for them
than you can.
When you would rather have YOU
own way and fail than to take advice
and win.
When nobody else thinks it pays to
advertise.

WEAPONS OF THE FILiPINOS.
These Island Savages Are Very Skill
full in Their Use.

ful IN Their Uses
Before the people of Spain and some
Americans began to bestow firearms on
the Filipinos they relied entirely on
their deadly knives. These knives
daggers and krises as they are called
are exceedingly nasty weapons in the
hands Of artists. Every savage race
has its own style of knife. The Fill
lpinos have one or two which are pecu-
liarly interesting.
These sayages are wonderfully skill
full in handling their strange weapons,
i tB ISpdnisn Know Nv, MUcne
AmerSans will probably learn later.
They are small in size, but, like the
Apache, are strong, full of endurance
and bold enough to oppose their print
tive weapons to those Of the most mod
ern make. The knives are small, finely
carved and highly priced. They are
much sought by curio hunters.
Perhaps the most deadly of all the
Philippine weapons are the daggers car
ried by the chiefs. These are made of
iron, mostly of a poor quality, and are
about eighteen inches long. They are
, 1898-10-28

crooked or wavering in shape, with a
rough, uneven surface. The edges are
as sharp as a razor; the point almost
like that of a needle, and they are car
ried In a case, which fits the blade to
perfection. The cases are made of
hard wood, the handles bearing beauti-
fully carved inscriptions, representing
the name of the chief and tribe. These
crooked daggers are carried exclusively
by the chiefs, the right to possess them
being considered a great honor In the
native country.
The kris is a dagger slightly longer
than that carried by the chief, measur-
ing nearly two feet, with a sharp
curved blade. There are numerous va
rieties of these, the blades differing a
trif1e in size and shape. The kris is re-
garded by the native Filipino as the
most important of all his belongings,
and his uses Of 1t are many and varied.
The more savage tribes first lasso the
foe, and after dragging 1t on the
ground until exhausted or dead, use
the knife to eve the head from the
body, the former being taken as a
prize The native Is very careful to
keep his weapon in good condition, and
uses it In a number of ways, as the
occasion may require. In de~capitating
he approaches the enemy from the
rear, striking a little below the base Of
the brain. A single blow powerfully
aealt win nearly always accomplish the
work. but in every case robs the oppo.
nent Of all power.
