account of the shortness of the food
and water supply, he had just started
back to the coast, which he reached
quite safely, and came straight down
to Perth in the first steamer. The
principal bank had advanced him $500
on his nugget, but it would probably
prove to be worth twice as much. I
asked him what he was going to do,
and was sorry to hear that he intended
to go back to England at once and
set up shop or farm-I forget
Which-among his own people. Of
course it was not for me to dissuade
him, but I felt it was a pity to lose
such good sort of man out of the
colony, for he was not spending his
money in champagne and ard-playing,
as all the very few successful gold
finders did in those first days.-Corn-

MISS sCHENCK's ENDLESS CHAIN.

The greatest endless chain that
ever turned a crank has broken Miss
Nathalia Schenck of Babylon, N. Y,
set the thing going May IS, last year
to raise $4,000 by ten-cent subscrip-
tons for an ice plant for sick sold
iers. Ending the Cuban war was an
easy task as compared with ending
the endless chain which that war sug-
gested to Miss Schenck. She raised
the $4,000, the soldiers got the ice
plant, the Spanish mule fell mortally
wounded at Matanzas, Cervera's fleet
went to the bottom and Santiago
surrendered. Everything connected
with the Cuban war ended excepting
the endless chain. Through the news
papers she begged the public to quit,
but letters kept coming just the same
The postoffice at Babylon was swamp
ed, the Schenck home was filed with
dimes, old envelopes and disgust, with
no appreciate diminution in the num-
Der of trucks that brought the morn
ing mail There was no sign of a let
up until few months after the peace
treaty was signed, when the number
of chain letters began to decrease, and
last Friday ceased altogether. Twenty
five thousand dollars was received
where only $4,000 was asked for, and
the surplus was given to the govern
ment to use in the hospital service

FOUNDATION OF THE ASTOR ES-
TATE.

At the beginning of this century he
(John Jacob Astor) commenced buy
ing plots Of land on New York island,
having an early prescience of the
growth of the city by which it is now
almost covered. These purchases
were made with such Judgment in the
line Of approaching expansion as fire.
quently to be sold again after few
years for double or treble what he had
paid for them. With enlarged means
these acquisitions Of real estate as
sumed larger proportions, and took in
whole farms, which gradually became
covered with houses. To show that
this species of farming as practiced
with discrimination was not in vain,
it may be mentioned that one of these
farms, purchased in 1871 for 5000, is
now worth, with it's improvements,
81 100000. An amusing notion prev
alent in America is that by some queer
rule of his descendants no purchase
has or ever can be parted with. AS a
matter of fact, the estate books record
the sale of hundreds of plots of land
during the entire century, and it
should require no extraordinary
acumen to perceive that SO silly and
narrow-minded a rule could only be
imagined by very silly and narrow
minded people.-William Waldorf AS

WOMEN OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Their Redeeming Feature Is Thei1
Sense of Personal Cleanliness.

'The aristocratic Philippine matron
and her daughters indulge in no great
er bodily exercise, if they can help it,
than that required for driving or shop
ping" says Charles Bryant Howard in
the Woman's Home Companion. "But
the peasant woman shares her hus-
bands work, whatever it may be, la
boring at the pillow behind an ungainly
carabao (water- buffalo) in the paddy
field, or helping to pole huge lorcha,
or cocoanut raft, up or down the river,
besides attending to her domestic
cares. And I take pleasure in saying
that, whatever it's proprietors rank or
station, the native Philippine nipa
hut is invariably a marvel of neatness
and cleanliness as to it's interior; far
superior in this respect to the average
Spanish dwelling house, be it that Of
merchants clerk or that of the gov
ernor- general. So far as the latter
are concerned, a decent servant girl,
such as are employed in America and
main in one two days.
Hundreds of girls are employed in
the great cigar factories; and others
in the converts labor to weave the far
famed pima lace of the Philippines,
several at time squatting on the
floor around single frame, picking
and manipulating with deft fingers the
enthusiastically delicate fibers. Some
times they work for months to COM
plete a single mantilla or handkerchief
These native women are rarely en-
ployed by the European residents as
domestic servants, except in the capac-
ity of lady's maid or children's nurse,
and even these positions are often oc-
cupied by boys. They are very unre-
liable, and the utter absence of the
sense of gratitude, SO characteristic
Of the entire Philippine race, renders
it an almost hopeless and very exas-
perating task to attempt to train them
as servants. Their only redeeming
feature is their sense of absolute clean
illness, but in spite of this many Euro
pean women prefer to go to the ex-
pense and trouble of importing a
Chinese anna from Hong-Kong or Can
ton, rather than to intrust her children
to the care of a native girl; although
when in her own capacity as mother
the Filipino, SO far as observation
goes, leaves nothing to be desired"

STUDIED HIS TOE ON A NUGGET.
A Tale of Luck in the Australian Gold
Fields.

This man had reached the very last
Of his resources without finding a
speck Of gold, and although men in
such extremity are always kind and
helpful to each other he could not
expect any one to share such fast
dwingling stores with him. There was
nothing for it, therefore, but to turn
back on the morrow, while mouth
full of food was still left, and to re-
trace his steps as best he might to the
nearest port. He dwelt with a good
deal of rough pathos on the despair Of
that last days fruitless work, which
left him too weak and exhausted to car
ry his heavy tools back to the spot they
called camp" So he just flung them
down and as he said, staggered" over
the two or three miles of scrub-cov-
cred desert, guided by the smoke of the
campfire. Next morning early,
after a great deal of sleep and very lit
tie food, he braced himself up to go
back and fetch his tools, though he
carefully explained that he would not
have taken the trouble to do this if he
had not felt that his pick and barre '
were about his only possessions, and
might fetch the price of a meal or two
when it came to the last
I have often wondered since if the
impression of the divine mercy and
goodness which was so strong in that
mans mind just then has ever worn
off. He dwelt with self-accusing hor-
ror on how he had rallied at his luck,
at fate, at everything, as he stumbled
back that hot morning over his tracks
of the day before The way seemed
twice as long, for, as he said, his
heart was too heavy to carry" At
last he saw his barrow and pick stand
ing up on the fiat plain little way off
and was YEARLY dragging on toward
them, when he caught his toe against
a stone deeply imbedded in the sand,
and fell down. His voice sank to a
sort of awestruck whisper as if he were
almost at confession, as he said, 'Well,
ma'am, if you'd believe me I cursed
awful. I felt as if it was too hard al
together to bear. To think that
should go and nearly break my toe
against Tie Only SIOu0 Ill Cu0 uISLTlCC,
and with all those miles to travel
back! So lay there like Jobs friend
and cursed God and wanted to die.
After a bit felt like a passionate
child who kicks and breaks the thing
which has hurt him, and had to beat
that stone before I could feel
quiet. But it was too firm in the sand
for my hands to get it up; so in my
rage set out quite briskly with the
pick to break up that stone, if it took
all my strength. 1t was pretty deep
set in the ground, assure you, ma am;
but at last I got it up, and here it is
solid gold and nearly as big as
bays head Now, ma'am, I ask you,
did I deserve this?"
He almost banged the rather dirty
looking lump down on the table before
me as he spoke, and it certainly was
a wonderful sight, and still more
wonderful weight. He told me he
had searched about the neighborhood
of that nugget all day, but there was
not the faintest trace of any more
gold. So, as he had no time to lose on
