MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This Is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple cdnstruc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.

AGU|NALDO'S BOOMERANG.
THE COLORED SOLDIERS ARE ON
THEIR NETTLE.
The Filipino Chiefs Threat Has Reused
the Spirit of the Twenty fourth.
Prospects for Fertilizer"

Wesley f. Williams, a soldier of the
Twenty fourth infantry (colored) and a
newspaper writer of ability, is a native
of Virginia. He, as well as other mem
bers of his regiment, have great hopes
for the success of the colored troops at
Manila. Most of the men are old SOL
diers, and many are immunes. Besides,
they are used to just such life as they
will encounter in the Philippines. AS
one negro put it: IF Mr.. Aguinaldo can
run through the rice swamps faster
than we can go after him, or stay in
the bog longer he is welcome to make
fertilizer out of us, as he said he
would"
That expression, that negroes would
make good fertilizer, will prove boom
erang to Aguinaldo, if the Twenty
fourth ever runs up with him. 1t has
become sort of war cry with the regi-
ment
Mr.. Williams thinks a number of col
ored regiments should have beer en-
listed for Manila, for the reason that
they are thoroughly adapted to the eli
mate. With 10000 negroes in the field,
he says, the active campaign need not
have been stopped for the rainy season.

INDIAN MURDERER's FATE.
Capital Punishment Among a Prim-
itive Mexican Tribe

Capital Punishment Among a Prim-
tive Mexican Tribe.
Speaking of primitive law among the
Mexican Indians brings to mind a most
curious case that was told me some years
ago In the state of OaXaca by an old
Zapoteca chief who had become a convert
to Christianity. He said that long
while ago an American botanist was
travelling through the mountains of OAK
AGA, studying the rare and beautiful fora
of that region. He had with him a
mozO from another part of the country
He carried several gold pieces sewed
in the Innings OF his jacket. The mozo
became aware of that fact, and one day
when the botanist got down on his knees
at little spring the mozo cut his head
off with a machete, took the gold pieces,
and fed to the higher Sierras
Not long after the body was found by
some Zapoteca Indians, who had seen the
botanist in former days studying the
flowers and plants near their village.
They knew that he was a harmless and
good man, because he loved flowers All
Mexican Indians love flowers. So they
took the body to the chief and told him
what they had seen and found.
What he said. shall the kind
stranger with the white face, who loved
flowers, and sought not our goods, nor
death among us and not be avenged?"
He then dispatched four swift Indian
runners in different directions with Or
ders not to return without the murderer
After weeks time they returned, bear
Ing the malefactor, bound, in their midst.
A council Of old men was called The
case was examined. The guilt of the
mozo was proved, as he still had with
him the strange pieces of gold
Then the old chief gave the sentence
1t was speedily performed. They led the
trembling murdered to the center of the
plaza. There four green stakes were
driven IN the ground The murdered was
stripped naked and stretched by the
wrists and feet in the air among the four
stakes, to which he was dashed. Then
the Indians made a great heap of I'M
slaked lime under the wretched man s
body, and when the heap touched his
breast and sides they poured water over
1t until the scalding steam of the burn
ing lime had cooked all the flesh from
his bones. Then they took the bones and
threw them into a hole on the mountain
side. And so was the stain of the MUIR
dered mans blood covered and vengeance
wrought by the Indians in behalf of the
white stranger who was good and loved
flowers"

Writing in the National Review on
1.-The Present Popularity of Omar Khav.
yam" Mr.. Bernard Holland explains the
reVulsions in literary taste by a change
in moral and religious standards:
F1tzGerald first published his Omar

lief in the sufficiency of material civiIiza-

our complaceny was hardly disturbed bv
the Carlyle, Matthew Arnold and Rusl1in.
Epicureanism, based on a pessimistic ag-
Mysticism, clothed though it was in a
MISUNDERSTANDING form, could not then
produce its full effect. The present pop
ulartty of the poem, which FitzG raid
dld not live to suffer under, marks I
think, the rapid decline at once of the
OLD religious Protestant conviction and
OF the sanguine optimistic temper cue
10 the rapid movement of scientific dis
covery and mechanical invention. Reali-
cation, as ever, has fallen far short OF
anticipation, and an excessive estimate
of the value of life has been foIlowe6
by tendency to question its whole wider
purpose. AS of old, Voluptuous sirens
appeal to mariners weary of the sea. and
doubtful whether there is any end 70
their labors or meaning in their VOYAGE
Why not end the voyage in these ever
allurlng Islands OF pleasure, instead of
passing them by with averted faces ON
the way to unknown seas? Whv sacri-
flee the near for the remote, the certain
for the doubtful? If this life is all. Is n
not absurd to refuse to enjoy the wine
forbidden to Mussulmans, the free love
forbidden to Christians? WHY not
yield TO that immense constant attrac.
ton? Thus the thought of Omar Khay-
