companies Of this place, which is on her

Hong Kong, April $3.50 p. m.-If the
reports which are current here are cor
rect the United States fleet has a diff
cult task to accomplish. It is said that
the entrance of Manila bay is commanded
by from fifty to sixty heavy guns well
placed, and it is added that ii will be i'm
possible for the American warships to
enter the bay without battleships or
without the cooperation Of a strong land
force. Therefore. ii is believed that Com
nodore Dewey will not attempt to force
the entrance into the harbor but will
blockade the port until the insurgents
move on Manila.
Agents OF the insurgents here are try
ing to charter a steamer in expectation
Of being abba to transport a force of in
surgents 10 tae vicinity Of Manila and
capture the strong fortress OF Cavite, in
side Manila bay.
The cable to Manila is still intact, but
the transmission Of news regarding mill
tary or naval movements in the Philip
pine Islands is barred.
The British warships and torpedo boats
at Hong Kong have been forbidden to
commence fresh repairs. which would
seem TO indicate the possibility of
movement in the near future cpon the

NERVE OF A BOLD DRUMMER.

BE Forced a Railroad to Haul Him in
Private Car to Sioux Falls, g. d.
His bold defiance of q railway corpo-
ration procured M. T. Mcneil the honor
of special car recently from Fort
Dodge, Iowa, to Sioux Falls, S. D. Nc
Neil is a Chicago travelling man. A
few days ago he bought ticket over
the Illinois Central from Chicago to
Sioux Falls, and engaged berth in a
sleeper for the entire trip. At Fort
Dodge, however, it was decided to turn
the train around and run it back to Chi
cago-a plan occasionally adopted when
travel is light. This compels the Sioux
Falls passengers to rise early and
change cars. Mcneil was accordingly
aroused, advised as to the situation,
and peremptorily required to hurry on
his clothes and leave the sleeper. But
not he. He would ride to Sioux Falls
In that sleeper, he declared. Or go back
to Chicago with it. And then let the
Illinois Central look out for a damage
suit. The conductor offered to pay his
passengers hotel bill until another
sleeper arrived or do anything else in
reason to accommodate him. The trav-
cling man stuck for his rights and the
officials finally wired to headquarters
foc instructions. On orders received
from there the car was then carried
through to Sioux Falls with Mcneil it's

Shark Charmers.

In the Persian gulf the divers have
curious way of opening the season.
They depend implicitly upon the shark
conjurers, and will not descend with
out their presence. To meet this diff
Guilty the government is obliged to hire
the charmers to divert the attention OF
the sharks from the feet. AS the sea-
son approaches, vast numbers of ma
tiyes gather along the shore and erect
huts and tents and bazaars. At the
opportune moment-usIaiy at mid
night, so as to reach the oyster banks
at sunrise-the feet, to the number of
eighty or a hundred boats, pulls out to
sea. Each of these boats carries two
divers, a steersman and a shark charm
er, and is manned by eight or ten row.
ers. Other conjurers remain on shore,
twisting their bodies and mumbling in
carnations to divert the sharks. In
case a man-eater is perverse enough to
disregard the charm and attack diver
an alarm is given, and no other diver
will descend on that day. The power
of the coniurer is believed to be hered-
itary, and the efficacy of his incanta-
tons to be wholly Independent of his
religious faith.

A WORD WITH HUSBANDS.
Give Your Wife a Little Praise and
See How It Works.


See How 1t Works.
IF husbands only knew, or, if know
Ing, only cared, how very much their
words and manners affect the smpera-
lure OF the home world, they would
never, by word Or deed, leave it en-
shrouded in g-oom," argues Mrs. A. NJ.
Marriott, in Womans Home Compan-
ION. 10 most wives the husband is the
sun around which every thought re-
Voiyes. There is scarcely an instant in
which his presence is not felt as she
goes about her work, Or even when at
rest. If she is preparing the meals, the
way John likes this or that, or some re-
mark he has made about some article
OF food is recalled to mind; if she looks
about her she sees his hats and coats
hanging on the hooks, and the hats in
variably wear the same expression
Johns face wore when he left in the
morning; a jolly, good-humored look, if
he went away pleasant; if angry, a
gruff, defiant neutrality-suspicious.
ness air takes the place Of the so lately
gentle pliabIe shapes in felt, and fairly
bristle with wrath over some trifie, but
still enough to obscure the sun in the
little world for many weary day, per-
chance, ere it is seemingly forgotten.
"There is no true woman but will re-
pay her husband over and over again
for kind, thoughtful treatment. He is
ready to call her childish, and she may
seem so to him; but one thing is sure-a
woman never fOrgets. All little deeds
of love or thoughtfulness sown by his
hand yield a certain and abundant har-
vest. She may love her home better
than any other spot on earth, yet she
sometimes gets SO weary Of the daily
routine of never-ending duties that fall
to her lot that she cannot help an occa
sional feeling of envy for those who
have more time for recreation, for go
ing abroad, for all the little things dear
to the heart Of every woman, but which
the stern hand of duty most effectually
debars her from enjoying. Still, for all
that, she would not for the whole world
exchange places, even if she could, with
any other woman, leaving home and
John-dear old JONAS the price of
her freedom from care. If your
wife has been faithful and true wife
to you, tell her so. Do not think it low
ers your manliness any to let her know
that she still has a place in your affec-
tons. She has toiled early and late for
you and your children, through sick
ness and health, and self-denial has
grown to be her motto. 1t takes but
little from her loved ones to make her
happy, SO do not begrudge her a word
of praise now and then as her just re-
ward, and Of far more value to her
starving heart than gold. There are
some things which money can never
buy, and wounds which it cannot heal;
but love levels all obsta cles, oyercomes
all difficulties, and immea surably sweet
