ISLANDS COMPOSED
OF MANY TRIBES.
Original People Were Negroes-The
Malays Now Predominate-Two
Sets of Spaniards.

The original people of the Philip
pines are supposed to have been the
dark skinned race known as Negritos,
from their color, says the Philadelphia
record. Through the Islands are scat
tered $4,000 of them. They are dwarfs,
with fiat noses. full lips, and frizzly
hair. and they have little way with
them of smoking cigars with the bur
ming end placed inside their mouths.
They are a wandering people whom
the Malays have driven to the more
inaccessible parts, from which they
descend to sell wax to the Chinese
traders in exchange for betel and
tobacco: the dog is their only domes-
tic animal.
The Malay tribes form the bulk of
the population, varying among them
selves in physical appearance; the
first place among them must be ac-
corded to the Tagals. The people of
this branch dwell near the water in
houses built on piles, and. though
they are Catholics. traces of their old
faith and customs abound. They have
round heads, high cheek bones, fat
fish noses. low brows and large dark
ewes. and their favorite amusement
is cock fighting. As in Spain. Mir.
Cock is armed with steel gafs. They
have a written language antedating
the arrival of the Spaniartls: an alpha
bet of their own of sixteen letters. a
passion for music and the drama and
wonderful collection of native lyric
poetry.
Another Malay tribe. the Nisyas, the
Spaniards in the fifteenth century
christened the Putados. or Painted
Cues"
The Igorrotes are the wild tribes of
the Philippines, the name being loose
~ given to all the pagan mountain
tribes of Luzon. They differ from
the Malay tribes, showing what looks
TO he traces of the Chinese or JapH-
nese admiNture. They are industrious
agriculturists, skillfully laying out
their fields on the mountain sides and
irrigating them with artificial canals

Want Bugs Protected.

For some time past British entomolo-
gists, or bug-hmters, have been exer-
cised over the determination Of certain
insects m consequence OF the zeal OF the
collectors, who roam over the country
with butterfly nets. 1t would be diff
cult to protect butterflies and moths by
Legislation, as has been done for birds,
so am association has been formed I'M
der the auspices of the chronological
Society Of London. The members agree
to leave rare insects alone for awhile
and to do all in their power to curb the
sporting instinct In others. The insect
collector who abides by 1t will be more
than human, remarks London Graphic.
Imagine a stamp collector agreeing not
to pick up a rare specimen from the
roadside, yet a similar temptation will
be met and have to be resisted by the
insect collector.

Closely related to the Chinese farm
ers is the class of men who, with a
taste for the quaint and artistic, earn
a living as landscape gardeners.
They delight in producing miniature
copies of nature. Narrow walks wind
In and out through dwarfed and
~grotesque shrubbery. Tiny ponds are
SPAWNED by dainty bridges. The scene
suggests a playground for the wee
ones, either little children or fairies.
To produce the dwarf trees, the
gardeners either conflne the roots with
In a small, Iron-bound cask, or the o
rapid method is to select a vigorous
branch upon the desired tree, and bind
around 1t q band of leaf mold. This
Is kept moist until roots creep into the
mold; then the branch is severed from
the tree. Soon flowers and fruit de-
velop, for their buds were formed by
the parent tree.-Lipplncott's Maya

Tricks on the Teachers.

The other day q pupil IN one Of the
public schools asked the teacher 20 do
a little example In grammar, and since
then what seemed at first to be a simple
problem has had the serious consider
alton OF all the pedagogues in the com
muntty, and it has been unanimously
agreed that there Is no rule In gram
mar to owe the point raised. The
youngsters proposition was this:
ut Is two miles to Woodf0rds. Now
pleaNR write under that sentence There
are two twos in the above sentence "
That rs what the boy said. He did
not submit the problem In writing.
and when the teacher tried TO follow
his Injunction she found out the reason
why. 1t dawned ON her that there were
not two twos, neither were there two
tos, and how to express In writing
what was easy enough to do verbally
she asoertained to be impossible.
The boy responsible for the forego-
ing must be a neal relative to the
youth who asked his teacher how to
spell Paris green, and when she replied,
PAR Par, Is, Paris, green, green
Paris green" retorted:
mo, you're wrong: you can't spell
Paris green, or blue, or any other color.
You can't spen 1t anything but Paris. ="

The Worst Boy In School.

He was about the worst boy in the
school and the teacher had punished
him again and again until she had be-
gun to consider him In the light of a
natural enemy, and she felt that the
boys feeling for her must be almost
one of hatred. So it was In the nature
Of a surprise when, In view of b APP
preaching holiday separation, other
boys of the school brought to her desk
little gifts of remembrance, to have the
bad boy approach with some hesitation
and place a box of candy ON her desk.
"But l don't think l can take 1t,
Tom" she said. you have been too
bad a boy; you have seemed to do
everything you could to displease me-"
"Oh, please take 1t, Miss Blank"
said the bad boy in entreating tones,
"I worked after school hours to get the
money to get It."
And someone felt tears coming very
near the surface then, for the bad boy
was a poor boy and had not so many
pleasures In Life that he could be ex-
pected to sacrifice any Of them for any,
one.-ExchanGe. 4

Novel Use for Tidal Power

Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization Of the
energy developed by the rise and fall
Of the tides, but the intermittent char
acter of the power has usually prevent
ed any satisfactory solution Of the
problem. There Is, however, one IN
Stance In whfcf~
quite successfully
simple manner Among the river front
at Liverpool there is a tendency for
the accumulation of all silt against
the dock walls, requiring occasional
dredging for it's removal. Instead of
using scoop dredges, this mud Is re
moved at different periods by the use
of tide power In the following manner
Along the base of the dock walls is
laid a pipe, perforated with holes,
directed outward, this pipe being con-
nected with the interior of the dock
system, and suitable valves being pro-
vided to permit or check the flow of
water. When the tide Is very low, and
consequently the head of water a
ured from the surface In the docks Is
at it's greatest, a sudden opening of the
connection permits a rapid flushing
action of the water escaping through
holes in the pipe at the base of the
walls, securing out the mud and driv-
ing it out into the river to be carried
away. AS the tides at Liverpool aver
age about twenty-five feet or more, it
is evident that this simple form of
dredging apparatus may be very effect
i've, and as the times chosen for using
1t may be selected when the supply Of
water is greatest, it does not interfere
with the regular use of the docks. Ulti-
mately economical forms of power stor-
age will render the equalization of tide
power commercially practicable, but
at the present time this example serves
to demonstrate the fact that solar and
lunar attraction, as expressed by the
tides, have been harnessed in a small
way at least-Cassier's Magazine.

Treatment In Cases OF Poisoning.
For poisoning by acids, administer
copious draughts of tepid water, or
tickle the throat with a feather or
something similar to excite vomiting.
Then give warm soapsuds. or magnesta,
or chalk dissolved In warm water, or
wood ashes, soda. Cruel, linseed tea. or
rice water, whichever can be reached
first.
For poisoning by aIkalies, give dilute
vinegar, or sour milk, lemonade, sweet
oil or M ~mucilaginous drink.
For arsenical poisoning. induce vom-
iting as quickly as possible, then ad-
minister ~a.spoonful OF peroxide Of iron.
II a drug store is not near enough to
get this In a hurry, give iron rust
stirred in sweetened water, or whites
Of eggs and water, or soapsuds.

FAMOUS WELL.
About which "The Old oaken Bucket'
Was Written.


About twenty-five miles from Boston,
a R6e little village Of Greensush,
tu}ah who was driving me to the radlroH1
station stopped to point out the old
home Of Woodwork, the author Of
1.-THE Old Oaken Bucket" q poem which
still lives, embalmed In every quartet
in the land. Wherever the quartet
habit prevails there you will find famil-
iar1ty with every hne and every verse
of this ballad, and 1 confess that it was
with genuine delight that | gazed upon
the very scene that conjured up In the
brain Of the composdtor who went home
n hot day and added his name to the
list of immortals under the impetus Of
what would be called to-day a ''crying
Jag" The man who drove me confess
ed to the quartet habit himself, and as
he stopped to point out the house beside
which the old well stood he intoned IN
deep, resonant notes the lines:
THE old oaken bucket, the moscow
cred bucket,
The ~iron-bound bucket that hung in
the we'll"
There 1t Is" he continued in his sing
ing voice, 'just behind the kitchen. So
many people came TO see it that the
folks that own 1t nov got a brand4new
paper bucket and a kind Of patent ar
rangement to haul 1t up because the old
bucket and well sweep are out of date.
Well, some Chicago parties come along
n didn't like the paper bucket, and
80 they promised to send them an oak
en- one to put in its place. They did
send 1t. Twas adj fixed UP with brass
hoops. I believe there's a copper pump
on the we'll now"
We continued on our way, and a mo-
ment LATER the charioteer burst into
song:
'The orchard, the meadow, the deep,
tangled wildwood,
And adj the loved scenes that my In
fancy knew"
There they are he said, and there.
sure enough, was a bit of Land skdrting
a broad mill pond that might we'll have
suggested the line of description. ''The
mdA that stood by 1t" stands there still,
as 1t has stood for more than 200 years,
and they are grinding -four In 1t after
the same fashion that was followed
when the Indians lived in the neighbor-
hood and were apt to levy contf1bu-
items ON the inhabitants In the way of
hair or provisions at any moment. 1t
Is an interesting spot, ON the whole,
and If the trustees OF the village know
their business they will keep the mill
and the pond and the wildwood just
as they are, and see to 1T that no one
Is allowed to replace them with a can
vas forest and am imitation mill, and
then run excursions from the nearby
Athens to look at them.-New York
