Carriages are but little seen at night.
not allowed out anv more than native
pedestrian would be. Hence there is
no carriage to be had, unless you are
the owner or lessee of private rig,
and even then you must be either Off
cial or sufficiently near 80 to be privi-
legged to pass your driver by the sentry.
Moreover, every time you are halted in
a carriage you must leave the carriage
and advance on foot for inspection and
questioning. Over i'll the San Nicolas
district, around the port, the sentries
are so thick that proceeding in a car
rage is more tiresome BY far than walk
ing. Every little interval covered ne
cessitates another halt, explanations,
advance, and the same thing over again,
about as fast as you can enter the car
rage and alight. There is no pleasure
in night ride through the crowded
parts of Manila.
But the end justifes the means.
There are no native uprlsings, no chance
for..one. No city in the world is as safe
by night as Manila. Deserted and nearly
as still as the grave, it remains under
martial law until broad daylight comes
around again, when windows open,
shutters come down, the popuiace
swarms out, and the busy life of a great
city begins like magic with the firing of

Some years ago a young friend Of
mine went to mind-healer for a lark
There was nothing in the world the
matter with him, but he pretended to
be the victim of terrible headaches.
The wonderful healer asked no ques-
tons as to the cause of the ailment.
He did not care about that, for he had
one panacea which suffered for every
ill., Said he to the young investigator:
go home, and whenever the headache
comes on sit down quietly and put
your whole mind on it, thinking with
all your might that you have not got
headache Then you will not have it,
and will be cured" That's easy" said
my young friend. What's your fee?"

your whole mind on it and think with
all your might that you have that s..
Then you will have it. and will be
paid. "-Leslie's Weekly.

CUBANS' CRAZE LOTTERIES
The One Thing Which Seemed to Keep
Them Alive.

Them Alive.
A task OF no small magnitude which
will confront the American authorities
In Cuba will be the stamping out Of
the lottery mania that prevails to per-
haps a greater extent there than any
where else in the world. says the New
Orleans TimeS-Democrat It was one
of the bugbears of the Red Cross com
mission, and gentleman connected
with the relief work at Matanzas told
some amusing stories on the subject
during a recent visit to this city. AT
the outset" he said, we gave a good
deal Of actual money TO the starving
reconcentrados. who begged most pit
eously for 1t on one pretext or an
other. But before long We learned
that every copper went for lottery
tickets. The lottery was an out and
out skin, and after the war began it
dropped all pretense of fair dealing
and boldly repudiated its obligations
Nevertheless these wretched people
persisted in buying the worthless
pasteboards, and would make the most
astonishing sacrifices to that end. AS
an illustration, l recall a reconcen-
trado who had family Of FIVE people
They were all literally starving, and
were living skeletons. l gave the old
man half q dollar and told him to get
some meal. Instead of doing so he
Immediately invested the entire
amount in two fractional lottery tick
cts. At the time the whole family had
had no food of any kind for nearly
forty-eight hours. When | reproached

that in any way cooled Miss Barton's
ardor for the Cubans. She has a sin
cere adherence for gambling in any
form, and when she found that every
one Of her pensioners was full-blovn
lottery fend she was profoundly
shocked. l could hardly help laughing.
What the poorer Cubans will do with
out their pet vice I don't know. It
was the one thing that seemed to give
them stamina enough to keep alive"

It is we'll known that the water Of
many lakes exhibits characteristic
colors. The lake OF Geneva, at the
western end Of Switzerland. is blue
while the lake of Constance, at the
eastern end Of Switzerland, is green
Blueness implies purity, since the ma
tural color Of water is blue. A green
lake has its waters slightly cIouded
with impurities. which may be exceed
ingly fine particles, separately inyis-
ible. Prof. Spring Of the University
Of Liege says that green lakes some
times become absolutely colorless for
a time, and he has found that this
sudden change Of hue Is due 70 the
washing into the lakes of mud colored
red by oxide of iron. Red is commit
mentary to green, and the result NJ
the mixture IS that the green color ~
the water becomes for the time being
neutralizd.

TER-CENTURY IN PRISON.
When Barney Got Out Skyscrspers aud
TroIlcys Frightened Him.

After an imprisonment of twenty
four years. Barney McCue was released
from the Eastern pen!tentiary recently
TO enjoy an outside world that is prac-
tiCally new to him, says the Philadel
phia Record. Accompanied by his dog
Colonel" he boarded Goth street
trolley car-his first experience with
electricity as q motive power-and left
the car at the Reading terminal, new
also TO him. Before this point was
reached. however, a new picture net
his gaze; sky-scraping buildings sur
rounded him. These buildings had all
grown up since his incarceration. The
public buildings also. which were an
unsightly conglomerate mass with a
high fence around them twenty-four
years ago, had risen bit and taken on
their Penn-Crowned tower since last Re
looked upon them, but were unique
from his standpoint as being the only
structures well under way in 1874 de-
Cidedly incomplete on the eve of 1899
and likely to remain in the same cate
CORY another quarter century hence.
MCCue said his impressions OF the
world after nearly quarter-centuTy'
Imprisonment were rather bewildering.
Upon his arrival in Williamsport he
was almost as helpless as a child. He
was still afraid of the electric cars. and
when taken in charge by his old friend,
Attorney Reilly. who happened to be
at the station, McCue asked to be
taken to a house where he could COL

HUNDREDS vs.. THOUSANDS
Warlike Traditions of the Regiment
Turned To l'sefuI purpoSe,

At lnkerman Russian column
climbed from the gloomy depths OF
Quarry ravine, relates a writer in the
Cornhill Magazine, and swung slightly
to the left, SO as to avoid the stubborn
resistance offered by the Thirtieth,
then moved up between the post road
and the Sandbag battery. 1t was met
by wing of the Twentieth, counting
$50 men, under Col. Horn. The Tween
tieth instantly advanced, firing. The
Russian line Immediately in front OF
them seemed to crumble under the
fierce volleys. but the TANKS were OBJ
stlnate, and the mass seemed to thrust
out huge lateral claws, SO to speak,
along the TANKS of the Twentieth, so
that they found themselves in con-
cave OF fire. At that moment their
own ammunition gave out! Nothing
throughout this Homeric fight, how
ever. Is more wonderful than the eager
promptitude with which the British
no matter with what inferiority OF
numbers-would fling themselves in
bayonet charge on the foe. The Twen-
tieth cherished a particular hideous
yell, known as the "Minden yell'-it
having been, apparently, evolved orig
lnally In that bloody fight Somebody
IN the ranks of the Twentieth raised
the "Minden YELL" it ran wave of
ear-splitting sound down the front OF
the regiment, and the men instantly
leaped forward with the bayonet, cleft
the mass before them in twain, and
drove it, confused and broken, down
the hillside The right battalion OF
the Russian column, however. still
stood massive and undestroyed high
er up on the shoulder of the ridge, and
against this moved q wing Of the
Fifty-seventh, 200 strong. who had just
tain, Stanley. The Fifty-seventh was
one of the famous fighting regiments
OF the PeninSular war; 1t won the
name of the Die Hards" at Albuera;
and Stanley turned the warlike tradi-
lions Of the regiment to useful pur-
pose. Just as the bayonets fell to the
chai sing level he shouted: Men. re-
MEMBER An.nra," Stanley himself
fell mortally wouna~d but the i'm
pulse of his shout sent the NO of the
Fiftyseventh forward in chars
which finally cleared the whole OF
what was called the Home Ridge.

We find such amazing examples of the

RICH PEOPLES CHARITY.
The Reason 1t Sometimes Makes Their
Friends Smile.

The woman who has many bench
Charles on her list OF people TO LOOK
out for never fails to think OF them,
even though she may be away for
vacation, says the Work Times
So New York woman, meeting rich
matron last summer, was ready to &C
cept from her anything that might be
used by her proteges. There were some
old shoes which were too shabby for
her children to wear, and, as she didn't
know what to do with them, the wom-
an OF many good works Immediately
put In a claim for them. OF course,
she could have them; the woman
would be only too glad if they could
do some really good service, and they
were handed over in a day or two.
The New York woman took them with
delight, but as she looked at them real
tears gathered in her eyes, for In them
she saw an epitome Of the selhShnesS
OF the world and the carelessness OF
the rich for the poor-for these little
ones with whom she was striving so
hard trying to make clean, thrifty cit
liens. From every pair of those boots
every button had been ripped. 1t IS
not only the women who show these
little traits of meanness in giving. 1t
was man who was deploring the I'M
sratefulness of the world at large and
the thanklessnesS of the recipients OF
others bounty. But they are not all
ungrateful," he said the other day,
talking on his favorite topic. There
was woman who came to my Office
the other day"-this is an office in one
OF the busy parts Of the city, where
there are no large office buildings and
numerous scrub women-"and she was
truly grateful. l was really sorry for
her" he went on pOmpOusly. Poor
thing. she had hardly a shoe to her
foot, the soles were fairly of. Well. |
let her scrub my Office floor and wash
the windows, and then l gave her
quarter. And you should have seen
how thankful she was" Poor woman,
she must have been destitute. She had
done lot of hard cleaning for mere
pittance. taken herself away out in the
cold with her poor, unprotected feet,
paid cents for car fare, perhaps, to
go home, and had money enough then
for few bowls of soup. and was CRATE
full" And the man. figuratively pat
ting himself upon the back, exclaimed
joyfully: "Oh. what a great man
am l."
