A Life of Uncertainty.

When a person builds house in
Manila he must decide first whether he
prefers death and destruction by earth
quake or typhoon. If he wants to die
by the earthquake method he builds a
masonry house, which tumbles down
on him when the earth quakes. If he
prefers death by typhoon, he builds a
bamboo house. The earthquake
doesn't affect it, but the typhoon moves
it over into Mindanao. AS Manila
gets both typhoons and earthquakes
the choice is imperative.

take it green and bake it in an oven

INEBRlETY AMONG ANIMALS
Monkeys, Rats, Birds and Even Insects Love
Intoxicants.


Monkeys, Rats, Birds and Even Insects Love
Intoxicants.
1t is curious fact that there are
torers innumerable in the animal king
dom. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike
are fond of alcoholic drinks and al
though some display aversion when
first tasting liquor, they soon acquire
a craving for it.
Chickens and ducks after having
once tasted brandy. become absolute
slaves to the drink. They refuse to
eat, grow thin and exhibit symptoms
of detection when unable to obtain
their favorite tipple
Monkeys and apes are passionately
fond of spirituous liquors. OF these,
Buttons wine-bibbing chimpanzee was
shining example, and Brehm, the
German zoologist, owned several man
drills that drank wine regularly and
did not disdain brandy.
Herbiyorous animals frequently be-
come intoxicated, innocently enough,
through eating decaying fruit. In
orchards oxen and cows, after eating
overripe apples, have been seen to dis
play all the symptoms of drunkenness.
They stagger, their eyes lose express
sion, and they grow sleepy.
1t seems that animals are susceptible
to alcoholism in proportion to the de-
velopment of their intelligence. Ele-
plants are fond of wine and rum, and
rats gnaw the slaves of wine casks to
get at the contents. Cats, however,
rarely exhibit a fondness for intoxi-
cants.
Among birds the parrot takes first
place as an habitual topper. Insects
have many opportunities to become in
toxicated, and it is the most active
that most frequently avail themselves
of the chance There is an aromatic,
intoxicating fluid in linden blossoms
for which bees show an especial fond
ness.
Instances have been observed where
swarms of bees RECALLED themselves
with the poisonous linden nectar I'M
til they exhibited all the signs of in
toxication. Hundreds fell helplessly
to the roadside to be trampled under
foot.

THE FILIPINO BANTAM STRUTS.
Agoncillo Lets Off a Loud Cocky -doodle-doo
of Displeasure Against General Merritt,
and Airs His Views.

London, Nov. 21.-Agoncillo, agent of
Aguinaldo, with advisers, returned from
Paris this morning. He announced
himself as indignant at the statements
of General Merritt in reply to the ar
raignment of American officers made
by the insurgent junta at Hongkong, in
and people of the United States,
through the Associated Press. The gen
eral situation also displeased Agoncillo.
After recalling "How Fiipinos 10y
atty effectively aided the Americans" +"
he alluded to General Merritt's refer
ence to Filipinos as children as sim
ply an echo of the Spanish saying, and
he may, like the Spaniards, find out his
error when too late.
What do the Filipinos think of the
American proposal to purchase the ISL
ands?' Agoncillo was asked.
"The opinion of the Filipinos govern
ment cannot be favorable to it" he an
swered, las they cannot allow them
selves to be bought and sold like mer
chandise. But if the object of a moder
ate indemnity is that their recognition
and peace be established, | do not see
why the matter could not be submitted
to their consideration"
