COUNSEL WITH THE JUG,

they said, and then the bass would
come back in good condition.. Events
of the past two weeks have proved
that as far as the bass returning to
their usual haunts was concerned, the
old fishermen were right.
It requires II expert fisherman to fish
with live 1ninnow in shadows; but for
the fly fisherman, or one who uses a
spoon, it is appetizing to find the bass
frequenting them. The Fourth OF July
found big crowds of anglers up the
river, and again the record showed that
the water from Harper's Ferry down to
about Georgetown was the favored run
for bass in the Potomac:
Your correspondent fished at Harp
er's Ferry, and had excellent luck, which
was followed by misfortune of the most
exasperating sort. He had enjoyed fine
sport, and in the water behind his boat
as he was coming in trailed string of
eight fine beauties. A sharp rock
caught the slender string and cut it as
though with a knife. And that was
the last of the bass.
In preceding paragraph illusions
were made to the ouiananiche, or wi
nanish, as the Indians call it. The up
per Sauguenay, in the far Canadian
woods, is the home of this wonderful
fish. He is land-locked salmon. In a
recent issue of sporting paper an in
teresting description of the ouinaniche
appeared. The fish, it was said, is of
wide habitat, and variously named.
InMaine he is known as the ''Schoodic
trout" In Nova Scotia he is called
"grayling." In the land-loc]zed lakes OF
Sweden he is termed "silverlax."
He is found in all the waters
of Quebec, and is particularly plen-
tiful in the streams of the Lake st.

Red Cross Badges.

The badges to contain cards of iden-
LITIGATION will be sent direct to the cap
tains OF the various regiments and they
will obtain the full name and address
of each of the boys and inclose them
in the leather badges. Each boy will
wear his respective badge at all times
around his neck, to enable him to be
identified. 1t is therefore unnecessary
for parents or friends to send names
of the boys to the headquarters of the
Red Cross Society of Minnesota for
this purpose, as the officers of each
regiment will obtain them direct from
the boys in the field.

Geography of the Philippines.

UCOBTApny VI IAe F0111pD1ne8s
We know that the islands composing
the archipelago of the Philippines are
almost innumerable; from Is to 20 are
rather large, and about 200 of them are
small, some are mere points on the sur
face of the Pacific. The principal ones
are Luzon, Mindora, Panay, Samar,
Leyte, Mindanao. They are divided
into three groups: Luzon in the north,
Visayas in the center, and Aindanao,
with the archipelago Of Jolo, in the
south. From the northern extremity of
the isle of Luzon to the southeast ex-
tremity of Jolo, the Philippines have an
approximate length of 260 leagues and
cover surface of 295,000 kilometer
squares. About AGO leagues from
their capital, Manila, lie the Marianne
group, of which it is dependency. A
distance of $500 leagues separates them
from Spain by the Suez canal. The pop
ulation, as far as can be learned, is
somewhat in the neighborhood of
100000, of whom. S 100000 are Indians,
100000 Igorrotes, Remontados, Aetas
and Moros ARABS of Yolo and Minnao);
100000 half-breeds, 100000 Philippine
Spaniards, and $4,000 Peninsular Span
iards. I naddition to these, there are,
in spite of Restrictive laws, about 49,,
600 Chinese.-Boston Transcript.

p1dCc reserved until the time OF the
present earl, who, being more interest
ed in race horses than legends, has
thought fit to discontinue the custom.
Of the tree, however, he has taken the
greatest care, but, in spite of all ex-
traneous aid, it cannot last much long
er; nor need it, for the present earl of
Howth is bachelor of 70 years, and the
last of his line, the heir presumptive,
Sir Kenelm St. Lawrence, having died
some ten years ago under distressing
circumstances. On the earl's death it
is probable that the estate will pass
into the hands of tie Guinnesses, one
of whom married Lord Howth's sister,
Lady Henrietta. At any rate it is like
ly that somebody with due sense of
the fitness of things will see that the
supports are removed from the elm.
Another mysterious event which
should accompany the death of the
earl is the appearance of the gray rat
which invariably shows itself when one
of the family is about to die or some
great misfortune threatens. The beast
was last reported, curiously enough, on
the occasion of Lady Henrietta's mar
rage, and the manifestation cannot be
considered complimentary to Capt.
Guinness, the bridegroom. However,
it has never failed on the occasion of
a death in the family, and there is no
question but when Lord Howth's hour
comes there will be found some one
sufficiently reverential to vouch for the
rats attention to business. - n. Y.

Refuses to BE Party to Any Coercive
Measures Against America.
LONDON, April 18-The officials of
the British foreign Office when ques-
toned on the subject refused to make
a statement on the hypothesis as to
whether Great Britain would join in a
naval demonstration in behalf of Spain,
but they added that they did not be-
lieve such demonstration will be
attempted.
A representative Of the Associated
Press, however, learns from the ambas.
sador here of continental power that
no such demonstration is contemplated.
though it might be mooued by some
despairing friend of Spain"
He added: ''Such movement could
not succeed, if attempted, in view of
Great Britain's fat refusal to join in
any demonstration or step whatever, Of
putting pressure upon the United
States. If the continental powers at.
tempted it, Great Britain would prob
ably openly endorse the United States,
certainly snub to Europe. The Aus.
trian ambassador openly says he has
given up any hope of Europe prevent"

MAN is CONDENSED AIR.

l.iebie, the Great Chemist, Is Authority
For the Statement.
Liebig, the greatest chemist of the cen
fury, writes "Science has demonstrated
the fact that man, the being which per-
forms the great wonders, is formed of con-
densed air and solidified and liquid gases,
that he lives upon condensed as we'll as
uncondensed air and that by means of the
same mysterious agent he moves or causes
to be moved the heaviest weights with the
velocity of the wind. But the strangest
part of the matter is that thousands Of
millions of these tabernacles Of condensed
air are going on two legs, destroying other
forms. Of condensed air which they may
need to build up their own wasted tissues
or for shelter or clothing, or, on account
Of their egotism and fancied power, de.
stroying each other in pitched battles, U.S.
ing implements which are but other forms
of condensed air, the material OF which
they themselves are formed or composed.
Chemistry supplies the clearest proof that,
SO far as concerns this, the ultimate and
most minute composition and structure,
some of which are so infnitesimal as to be
beyond the comprehension of our senses,
man is, to all appearances at least, com
nesed of materials Identical with those
which compose the structural being of t
OK or the dog or even the lowest animal in
the scale of creation"
Solomon seems to have entertained the
same idea; see Ecclesiastes iii, 10, "Fol
that which befalleth the sons of men be-
falleth the beasts; as the one dieth SO dieth
the other; yea, they have all one breath
so that man hath no pre- eminence above

Odd Opera House He Built and Other
Isl. Queer Things He Did.

Queer Things He Did.
John Shuup was what they called well
off in this worlds goods-in fact, he was
the weaithiest man in the little town in
which be lived. He and Sarah had worked
hard and saved until they had start, and
then he had bought and sold cattle and
shaved notes until he was able to own
fine house in the country.
In all this he had succeeded, but John
had paid but very little attention to his
education-in fact it was a pretty hard
job for him to read, however well he might
"fgger.' He liked to be considered the
leading man of the town and to keep up
appearances he had a fashion of using q
great many big words of whose meaning
he bad very little conception. He was very
proud OF his new house, and while it was
building gravely informed people that he
was going to have a "miranda' running
around the outside and a 'purgatory' on
top, where he could go up and view bis
outlying farms.
. He built an opera house on the north
side of the square and lighted it with tai
low candles. He said be did that because
if he put in lamps they might "expiore,"
and the ordnance would get excited and
lump right out of the windows The
roller to the drop curtain was hollow and
had about a pint OF bullets in it, which
ratified furiously whenever the curtain
went up or down. He said that was be-
cause he wanted it different from other
theaters. The stage was about six inches
higher at the back than at the front, SO he
could see the actors feet when they
danced. Performers unacquainted with
his stage had trouble to keep from sliding
off into the orchestra.
He had big landscapes painted on the
outside Of his window shades by an old
fellow who lived down On the creek and
also had him paint his portrait-head and
shoulders, without any clothes on, his
reason being that the styles of clothes
changed, AMI he wanted his true to life.
His mother died, and as he wanted to
ship the body tc the old home for burial
he procured a metallic coffin. When he
came to pay for the coffin, he was angered
at the price charged and swore that ii he
ever had to have another he would 'tele-
scope to Burlington and have them send
up one of them "italic" collins
He had suit before justice of the
peace with a neighbor in regard to the
ownership of a calf. To save attorney s
fees he pleaded his own case. AS might be
expected, the case was decided against
him. He didn't seem to understand how
it could happen that way and told the JUS
tice that, although he was doubtless a
very learned man, he had made a great
mistake, and if he had been trying the
case he would not have decided it that
way.-Chicago Times Herald.
