The Horses OF Manila.

Among the first things to impress q
stranger are the horses. Descended from
horses brought from Mexico, they have
become much smaller, while they are
also much more shapely. In fact, Ihave
never seen a better looking breed. There
is nothing Of the pony in their shape,
though in size they range between 4S and
SO inches. AT first it looked absurd to
see them ridden by big men whose STIR
rups hung down to the horses knees,
but l soon found out that they easily
carried q rider weighing 300 pounds.
The foreigners have a jockey club,
which holds two meetings a year at the
beautiful turf track at Santa Mesa. To
avoid sharp practice members of the
club only are eligible to ride. This
necessitates a scale of weights starting
at 1879 pounds and rising to 1854 pounds.
1t demonstrates the speed and strength
Of these miniature horses that a mile
has been run in 2:lO by q pony carry
ing $50 pounds. Only stations are
used. Mares cannot even be brought
into the city. Nobody walks; everybody
rides, and on any special fiesta thou
sands Of carriages fill tho streets. I
doubt if there is q city in the world
that can turn out half the number Of
private vehicles in proportion to the
population.

Faithful Unto Death.

On the point Of courage we have not
yet seen in print q very notable instance
that is current in service circles. 1t re-
lates to one of the numerous heroic but
useless struggles on the northwest from
tier of India when our men were sent
forward to carry positions that had to
be relinquished rs o as occupied.
When the men were retiring, harassed
by the fire Of the hillsmen and bewil-
dered by the growing darkness, a party
Of ID went astray and found themselves
in a position where resistance and re-
treat were alike hopeless. They were
exposed without protection and were
shot down one by one.
When their comrades retook the val
ley and discovered the bodies, they dis.
covered also the evidences Of a rare act
Of courage. devotion and cool Judgment.
Knowing that their end had come, and,
knowing further that every Lee-Metford
rifle that fell into the hands Of the Az
ridis meant the loss Of many English
lives. the men had extracted the breech
locks from the rifles and hurled them
down the ravine, so that the rifles when
taken should be useless to their captors.

Tit.tse-to.

In the Century Dictionary the deriva-
ton is given from tit. tat. to. "three
meaningless words used in counting.
However, the East Friesio name (see

this name the word tik has the same
sense as E. tick, a mark, in allusion to
the mark made by the player ON the

the same theme, made on the principle
OF altering the vowel, as in Germanic
verbs Of the third strong coniugation,
such as sing. sang. sung.
Hence the name is by no means
meaningless. " but has an obvious ref.

Laughed Away tho Danger,

Ben Cable Of Illinois tells Of an ex.
perience Of his in midocean. The day
was foggy, and most of the passengers
were below listening to two evangelists
who were holding a particularly fervid
gospel meeting in the saloon. Suddenly
and without the slightest warning there
was q terrific crash aud the engines
stopped. Every one rushed on deck.
The steamer had run into an iceberg.
Nobody knew what damage had been
done, and everybody was ready to fly
into a panic. The boats were lowered,
and then for the first time the two evan
gelists, who had been forgotten in the
saloon, appeared on deck. They wore
their overcoats and their hats aud they
carried rugs and handbags. They elbow
ed their way rudely to the rail, with
the evident intent of securing for them
selves first places i'll the boat. 1t was
just at u time when @ breath would have
sent the passengers panic stricken into
the boats.
The sight of the two evangelists was
about to undo the work of cool headed
officers, when q pert little cockney step
ped up to the gentlemen with the rugs
and handbags.
"Beg pardon" said he, tipping his
cap. ave a cab, sir?"

A Cheap Decoration.

A prominent German actor, relates
Albert L. Vandam in The Illustrated
London News, had fulfilled half of his
starring engagement in the capital
of a grand duchy, and as yet no recog-
milton of his talents had been forthcom-
ing in the shape Of a decoration. Dis.
gusted, the player announced his inten-
ton Of departing the following morning.
Early on that day the theater intend

with what had happened. The CONVEX

Diamond Studded Streets.

Perhaps tho most interesting fact in
connection with Kimberly, the Diamond
City, is the ''street washing" and some
of the debris washers have done very
we'll. The washing" consists Of over
hauling the earth for diamonds.
AT nearly every meeting Of the bor-
ough council applications for permits
sion to wash streets, or portions of
streets, are received. The would be
washer has to obtain tho consent Of per-
sons resident in the street or road, to
put the latter into sound repair again
and pay 1.-THE to the municipality in
the shape Of 10 per cent on his gross
finds. Last year 1900 was paid to the
municipality in this way.
In the early days Of the diamond
fields the ground was washed in a very
primitive style, many diamonds being
thrown away in the debris, as it is CALI
ed. This debris was subsequently used
for street making purposes. and now.
years after. with better machinery at
their disposal, people find it pays to
"wash the streets. Cape Times.

A New Railway in Montana.

The completion of the Northern Pa
cific Ry., from White Hall, Mont, to
Twin Bridges, Mont, a distance of
twenty six miles, opens up to both the
miner and farmer the limitless re-
sources of the famous jefferson Valley,
rich both in the quantity and quality
of its mineral deposits and in the fer
tility Of it's soil which for farming is
equal to any in Montana. The three
rivers which enter the valley separate
~ but unite before going very far, fur
nish an abundance of pure water for
all the present aud future needs of the
valley.
Twin Bridges is situated in the north
western corner of Madison county at
the head of the beautiful jefferson
Valley. On either hand are mountain
ranges stretching away in the distance;
here the contentment and freedom of
the farmers life is contrasted with the
business activity of the miners voca-
ton; to the right the eye beholds herds
of cattle and horses grazing on grass
covered hills while here and there the
mir er is hard at work extracting from
the earth its precious metals.
just at present the mining industry
is most prominent gold being the
principal metal taken from the ground.
but with the Northern Pacific COM
pleted and in operation to Twin Bridg-
es, the farmer ind miner alike will
prosper beyond anything heretofore
possible.
To the owners of mines the railway
will be of inestimable value andth in.
fluX of capital and consequent intro
duction of cheaper and more modern
mining methods, will be a Godsend to
numberles miners who have hundreds
of tons of low grade ore that could not
before be handled with profit owing to
the expense of hauling to the railway
by wagon.
AS a place of residence this valley
has found favor with many of Mon
tana's prominent people aud the num-
Der of pretty little towns with their
comfortable homes, scattered here and
there, bear evidence of its popularity.
