It had to be carried laboriously upstairs in buckets and emptied into an enor- nous porcelain tank, shaped like nalf an egg-shell, which stood in pacR room, and contained the household s daily supply for washing, cooking and drinking-that used as drinking water being carefully boiled and filtered
 When I first went to Manila l had no idea how precious water was, and on the morning after my arrival l rose quite early for a bath. Now the usual way of taking bath In Manila house is to dip the water from the tank with big cocoanut-shell, and pour it over ones body, but nobody had told me that, and being delighted with the appearance of the great tank filled with clear, sparkling water, l soused into it, and was having splendid time when one of the ser wants, named Felipe, hearing suspi- cious noises came to investigate. At the sight of me he threw up his hands in horror and dismay, and chattered at me in Spanish, of which I did not then understand a word. Finding his pro-
 tests of no avail, he rushed away after an interpreter, and soon returned with one of my messmates, who was very sleepy and much bewildered-Felipe' disjointed exclamations having made him fear that something dreadful had happened He gasped when he saw me, and then explained the situation.

that people declared was impossible No WagerS were made, no time limits were given. MT. and Mrs. Blandy simply started out to do what they were confident they could accomplish; :; namely, to be drawn across the cOnti- nent by dogs for the purpose of seeing the country, earning their living as they progressed. And so they pushed along, following the Northern Pacific Railroad, and, not being pressed for time, they travelled at a speed that was convenient to the character of the country they crOSsed-never travelling less than ten miles a day, reaching a daily maximum of fifty-two miles Cat one time covering eighty-siX miles in two days) and stopping in towns to sell pictures or pick up few dollars by painting advertisements on the can vas of their wagon.
 Perhaps the most exciting event that
 occurred was the encounter with wild cattle near Medora, North Dakota.
 These unnamed creatures of the Bad Lands attack a man or dog with
 great ferocity and the Blandys and dogs would have never lived to tell the tale" if it had not happened that,

 so close to the camp that the Blandys could hear the tread of his feet on the ground. But the furious barking of the dogs and the three shots Mir.
 Blandy fired into the air frightened the beast away, so that no harm save the loss of sleep resulted.
 The journey across the continent has been almost entirely devoid of acci- l dents. The wagon looks too frail to

 While the tradespeople of France are, as a rule, fair and honest in their dealings with their customers who come to them direct, the pernicious Sys- tenn of commissions insisted upon by many of their fashionable patrons when recommending others to purchase of them results in overcharges. These, however, are smilingly paid, since the patronage of so distinguished a person as the introducer guarantees to the in- troducee that the establishment is the proper thing in its line.

Opera boxes are rented in Paris by the year, and if well managed can be made quite paying investments. For instance. the Marquise de St. Paul, a4 aristocrat to her finger tips, does nos feel like going to the opera every night: every night is not fashionable, so some disinterested third person suggests to the American acquaintance that it would give her and hers a very de- sirable social stamp to be seen in the box of the Marquise.
 The matter of money Is easily ar ranged: it would be a graceful ac- lxnowled gment of the MaFquiSe'S courtesy in allowing them the use of her box to contribute a certain sum to that lady's charitable fund, and the contribution is made most willingly The Marquise, however, being a firm

When we read of an elephant hunter who
has been trarnpled to death in the wilds of
India, we wonder at the foolhardiness of a
man who will travel round the world and
endure all n of h~ardships, in order to
court death in a far away jungle. A man
does not have to make a journey to India
in order to court death in a manner equally
foolhardy.
Thousands of hard working men are daily
counting death in a much more certain
form, without ever leaving their native vii
lagos or cities. They are the men who neg
lect their health. They are the men who
court death from consumption, or some
other deadly disease due to improper or
insufficient nourishment. The man who
suffers from bilious or nervous disorders,
who has a weak stomach and an impaired
digestion, who has lost the power to eat,
rest or sleep, and who fails to take prompt
steps to remedy these conditions, is court
ing death in the guise of some fatal malady.
