The Hague is a charming summer re-
sort. There Is so much to see and adj
mire; so much to study. The neighbor-
hood of the "Vyver," an artificial lake,
nearly in the middle of the town, is ex-
tremely fashionable. Swans swim in this
fish pond, where the water is kept fresh
by pumping. Many antique buildings adj
join the Nyverberg.
One can trolley out to Scheveningen
after late dinner, if one desires TO save
time or daylight sightseeing. This fash
tonable seaside port can be reached by
trolley in about eighteen or twenty min
utes from The Hague. There are plenty
of pleasant excursions from The Hague,
beside visiting the luis ten Bosch.

The sea coast echo., 1899-02-04

The juice of the bark thus extracted
looked very much like pea soup as il
simmered III an earthen vessel over 8
slow fire. When it had reached the
consistency of syrup a quantity OF
pulp from the second piece of bark
was scraped off and the juice of this
squeezed into the syrup over the fire.
1.-The Juice of the second piece OF
bark was dark brown in color, and the
liquid in the vessel was darkened and
changed as soon as the new ingredient
was stirred into it. The mixture was
then allowed to simmer for some time,
until it had attained the consistency
of jelly, when it was scraped out of the
vessel with chip and put on a large
leaf which had been plentifully sprin-
kled with ashes. This preparation
can be kept long time without losing
any of its strength. To poison an ar
rowhead piece of this ielly-like sub
stance about the size of hickory nut
is warmed and rubbed all over the
point, which can be used repeatedly
without the poison losing its virtue.
1.-The natives also have daggers with
sharp-pointed blades about four
inches wide and foot long, which
they call bararaos. They are very
dexterous in the use of this weapon,
and if they can lay hold of an adver-
sary by the hair, they cut off his head
with one sweep of the arm and carry
it home as a trophy of the war"

It Is the time Of great storms now in
the Philippines. Huge seas come tum-
bling ashore on the beach and the
vessels in the great exposed bay have
all they can do to hang to their an
chors, as the surf sometimes dashes
as high as their lower foreyards, u
writes the author Of Yesterdays in the
Philippines" One bit of description
may well apply to the weather now ex-
perienced by our soldiers under Gen.
Merritt: "The other morning began the
first real storm of the rainy season,
and We came very near having a bad
typhoon, but some one turned the
switch and Ii swirled up the back
coast on the Pacific side and crossed
through a notch in the mountains some
distance north of Manila, giving the
city only four days of monstrous winds
and floods Of rain. The streets were
two feet deep with water in the basi-
ness sections, and down at our house
by the seas the wind blew SO hard that
1t carried the tin from our roof of
to visit the next suburb. Then it was
that those sturdy windows Of small
geashells set into hardwood lattice
seemed far more secure than glass; and
I doubt IL anything less well construct
ed would have stood the blast that
surged in from the broad bay" In
another storm thousand houses were
blown down in Manila and four Span
tsh brigs in the bay totally wrecked

portant of all Filipino weapons. The
more savage tribes lasso the foe and
cut off his head with the kreese.
Others steal up behind the foe and
aiming a little below the base of the
brain decapitate him with single blow.
The Medical News publishes letter
from its special correspondent at Ma
Mia, describing the plan pursued by
the Philippine natives to poison ar
rows and their dexterity in inficting
barbarous punishment upon their enc
mics with daggers. He says: 1t will
have to be taken into consideration
that most of the Philippine Islanders
are savages who fight with lances and
poisoned arrows. [ once had the
privilege of witnessing the prepara-
ton of a number of these poisoned
weapons, and as nearly as [ can re-
member the process was about as fol-
lows:
"The poison was made from the
bark of two different trees, the names
of which I have forgotten One of
the pieces of bark was beaten almost
to a Jelly, pressed and dried, then
moistened and again pressed. Though
the man used his bare hands IN doing
this, he apparently was not injured in
any way by contact with the poison.

YANKEES WHIPPED rlcTAl PIRATES.
The Debut of the United States Navy In
Chinese Waters.

The first passage at arms between
American citizens and Chinese was in
1909, when Mr.. J. P. Sturgis, of Bos-
ton, arrived in the ship Atahualpa,
Captain Bacon, at Macao. The ter
rible Chinese pirate Apootsae was then
ravaging the coast, capturing imperial
forts, laying whole towns under con-
tribution, massacreing those who op-
posed him, and terrorizing the man
darins. In vain were rewards offered
for his head. Having watched and
seen the chief officer and an armed
boats crew leaving the Atahualpa for
the city to obtain river pilot, he
thought the capture of the foreign
devils ship would be easy. Ranging
his iunks under color of moving up the
river, and feigning to run past the
American ship. the pirates suddenly
rounded, expecting to leap on board
and kill the eighteen or twenty men
left there. Instead of quick success,
the Chinaman caught a tartar. AS
founded as the Yankees were, their
cannon were fortunately loaded, and
they made lively use of them, and with
Brown Bess muskets, horse-pistols,
and boarding pixies. defended them
selves with spirit. The Chinese threw
on deck plenty of those home made
hand -grenades which, owing to the
quantity of sulphur in the powder,
were unpoetically termed "stink-
potts." but they killed none of their
foes. Amid the shrieks and groaps of
their wounded, a hellish din with
songs and drums was kept up. The
Yankees fired with such effect that the
Chinese were beaten off. Apootsae
called away his men, and his ships
were soon lost to sight, This episode
put such courage into the cowardly
mandarins that by means OF bribery
and treachery, they secured the cut
.hroat Apootsae, and had him put to
>leath by the slow and prolonged pro-
cess of hacking, called ''the thousand
cuts" From this time forth there
was intense respect for Americans at
Canton and Macao, and business in
creased with little interruption.-From
