OUR $40 WHEELS

CeAN W HEELS
Have "A reached a popularity we
did not anticipate. Many riders pro-
claim them good enough for any use

them in stock. We are satisfied that
there is no better value on the mar

Teaching the Filipino SchooIboy.
Manila Correspondence in Leslie's Weekly
It has been frequently remarked that the
FiIpinos could have no conception of the
extent and resources Of the United States.
or they never would have been deceived in
TO the hallucination that they could sue
cessfully combat US. In going through
their school here, 1 found a little manu-
script volume in which, in less than a
hundred manuscript pages was comprised
all of syntax and geography that was
taught the children mere And il must be
remembered that Malolos, before the in
surrection, was an important city in this
part Of the world, and one where the chill
dren would be expected 10 receive the av-
erage education. Turning to one of the
pages in this book that ! picked up found
the United States of America discoursed
upon, Immediately after Nigricia. and Just
before Mexico Here is the entire lot of in
formation given as TO the United States,
in the form of questions and answers;
Where is this country Che United
States) situated? In North America.
what are it boundaries? To the north,
British America: 10 the east, the Atlantic
ocean and the Bahama channel; TO the
south. the Strait of Florida and the Gulf
of Mexico, and TO the west, Mexico and the
Grande PaciiC) ocean.
what is the form of government? It is
a federal republic.
"Of what is this republic composed? Of
forty different states
''What are its rivers and mountains? The
most notable rivers are the Misisipi Qiteral
spelling), the Niagara, the Missori again
the literal spelIng), the Colorado and the
st. Lawrence. and the principal noun
tains are the Cumberland and Rockies.
What is the capital? Washington, but
the most important city is New York.
Professionalism prevails, but there are
Catholic archbishops."
And this is the sum total of what the
average Filipino hoy has been taught
about our rather considerable and some
what prosperous country.

BOOMING ANTHOLOGY.
Company Formed in Boston for Pur-
pose of Spreading Its Doctrines.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
A curious company has just been incor-
porated in Boston, having for It's object
the promotion of the study Of astrology
in America. 1t proposes to attain this OBJ
ject in three ways-fi1st. by publishing a
monthly magazine; second. by reprinting
Old astrological works which are very ex-
pensive and have long been out of print,
and third, by taking all possible steps TO
convince the public that there is a vast
difference between reputable astrologers
and quack fortune teuers.
Mrs. Catherine H. Thompson, an Eng
lishwoman, is the president of the new
company. She was educated in England
and France, but for some years she has
been resident Of this country. Her at
tenuon was drawn a Few months ago to
the tact that there is no magazine in this
country entirely devoted to astrology, and
she determined TO publish one. Well
known English astrologers were informed
OF the plan, and they promised to give
all possible assistance. Sepharial, As
mothlel, Astrolabus, Heinrich Daath, and
Raphael and Zadkiel the editors of the
well known almanacs, promised at once
to contribute toward the magazine, and
dIlcIeS from their pens VIII appear IN the
first number, which will be published in
July. The first number will consist al
most wholly of articles by foreign writ
ers, apparently the only exceptions being
the opening article by the author OF
Gospel of the Stars" and one ny Mr..
Dalton, resident of Boston.
English astroiogers are enthusiastic
over the work which the new company
proposes to do. They are confident that
astrolosy can be popuarized IN the United
States, and there is even some talk of
forming a regular astrological ASSOCIATION
in addition TO the company, he object OF
which shall be to protect reputable as
trolosers as medical societies protect ply
sicians. There are sun laws on some of
our statute books which prevent asJrolo-
gers from practicing their profession, and.
While these laws as a rule are dead lei
ter, reputable astrologers maintain that
they should be repealed; and steps will
be taken to achieve this object as soon as
possible.
To the public at large the formation of
this company is of interest, because it is
an indication of the rapid spread of oc-
cultism In this country. In England as
trolosy has made rapid Roadway within
the last few decades and reputable
American astrologers declare that it will
also make rapid Roadway in this coun-
try If only steps are taken TO spread its
truths broadcast throughout the country.

Know When They Have Enough.

The llama. that dOcile animal which was the beast of burden in Peru in prehistoric times and played the part that was assigned to his cousin, the camel, in Egypt and Arabia, Is still seen in large numbers in the mountain districts, but he cannot live in the warmer Attitudes along the coast He Is docile, enduring and sure footed. He can go a long time without water and food and chews the cud of contentment when other animals are in distress be cause of the temperature of the rare fled atmosphere found in the Andean plateaus.
 A llama will carry 100 pounds and no more, and if you add an ounce to his load he will lie down and wait un- til 1t is taken off. He knows when he has enough, and there is no use in try ing to argue with him. The native h. dianS have learned this by the expert ence of generations, and when a llama lies down they immediately unstrap and diminish his burden without mak- ing any fuss about it. Then, when he Is satisfied that he has been given no more than his share, he climbs on to his hoofs again and follows the mouE- tain trail for days and weeks at time without murmuring or slipping or for getting his good manners. - Chicago Record

Ludlow struck a match. and

Ludlow struck a match, and as Campos made ready to receive it the officer lit the fifty-dollar paper and handed it to his caller. "Yes. like this paper money" continued the Ameri- can. nonchalantly, ''it makes such con venient cigar lighters
 Campos' hand trembled as he lit his Havana with his own money. His face was a picture of conflicting emotion and passion. It was gray and green and red and white. His lips twitched, and he was dumb when Ludlow. now excelling the Castilian at his own pol ished politeness. remarked: "Ill take a light if you are through with it. and then he. too. lit a cigar with the price of a suit of clothes.
 Now, what kind of a franchise do you want?" he went on, but Campos begged to be excused for the while, pleading an important engagement elsewhere. Probably 1t was with nearby cistern where he could soak his head, but he did not say so. Campos had tried Spanish methods on an Amer ican Otticer-an officer who belongs to the engineer corps of the United States army, and is the personif1cation of in- tegrity.

One of the questions &gitating those who concern themselves with the good of the race is the alleged remarkable falling or in the number of marriages. Many acute minds have sought an eN- planation for this state of af1airs, and while suggestions as to the reason are sufficiently numerous an adequate selu- tion of the problem is so far still want ing. Perhaps the most plausible the ory is that emanating from a large class of philosophers who make selfish ness the root of all human action. Building on this foundation, they al lege that the desires of the modern wife as to those surroundings of her social position for the supplying of which a big income is indispensable, have become so exacting that it is i'm possible for the modern husband, un- less particularly fortunate in tinan- cial way, to supply them. Under these circumstances, it is said, the raw ma terial from which husbands are made, the bachelors, prefer to endure the un- questioned discomforts and lack of per feet life harmOnies in their solitary Isolation, rather than suffer such sacri- fees as might be implied in their enter ing Wedlock. This theory no doubt fairly elucidates the situation from it's point of view, but there is still another phase of the question that is well worth consideration. Its possible in- fiuence on the decimation of the mar riage rate is not so obvious as the for mer may be, but 1t may exist for all that. Whether justly founded or not, there are certain beliefs current among men, usually, it is true, referred to in a jOcose way, that at a greater or less period after marriage the wife becomes exacting as to a husbands hours, hab- its, companions and expenditures, and that where argument fails she some times resorts to such force as she is capable of to enforce her views. In the old days, in spite of these beliefs, Wom- an was so generally accepted as the weaker sex that it apparently had no deterrent effect on men inclined to- investigated 1t may be found this lamentable marital defection is con tempOraneOus with the advent of the athletic female. Every day we hear of her exploits in some new field of en- deavor associated with such courage
 muscle and miscellaneous ability to take care of herself, that the most careless observer must take heed. Of course, it is not to be asserted posi- lively that the development of athletic females has had any positive effect on the marriage decrease, but the idea is given for what it is worth.

SHORTER EUROPEAN MAIL FlME.
The Scheme Includes Railway to Louis
 burg, C. R., and Fast Fleet.

The Scheme Inc1udes Railway to Louis-
 burg, C. R., and Fast Fleet.
 A scheme which postoffice and rail- way authorities have had under consid- eration for some years is said to have been revived, whereby a fast mail ser vice is to be inaugurated between Lou isburg. Boston and New York, shorten ing the time between Liverpool and New York City by about fOrty-eight hours
 In connection with the railroad proj- ect a fleet of ocean greyhOunds. equal ing in speed such ships as the Oceanic and the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, is to be put into service between the Nova Scotia ports and Liverpool. The dis tance from Louisburg to Liverpool is given as 2.24O miles. Steamers of the speed of the vessels mentioned could cover the route in about four days and the railroad run to New York via Mon- treal would be covered in about forty hours, while Boston could be reached in about twenty-four hours, or five days from Liverpool. If mail can be landed in Boston in five days from Liverpool IL follows that passengers will be attract ed by this route.
 The best time from Liverpool to Bos- ton now Is seven days. Boston receives most of her European mail via New York and most of it is dispatched that way. The consequent rehandliHg of mail at New York causes a delay of twelve hours or more, considerable time to those anxious to hear from friends or shape their business by European ad- vice.
 The scheme referred to comprehends the building of eighty-six miles of rail- road from Louisburg to Hawkesbury. N. s. From this point an excellent rall- road connection may be made to United States points. Louisburg is the most easterly port in Nova Scotia, and is a well-sheltered harbor, which does not freeze in winter time
 The distances from Louisburg to New York via the Montreal route over the Canadian Pacific, as figured by an off cial of that road, are as follows:

Conauerors Conquered.

It is a remarkable and instructive
 fact that the career of four of the most renowned characters that ever
 lived closed with a violent or mOurnful death.
 Alexander, after looking down from the dizzy heights of his ambition upon a conquered world and weeping that there were no more to conquer. died of intoxication in a scene of debauch.
 or, as some suppose. by poison mingled in his wine.
 Hannibal, whose name carried ter TOT to the heart of Rome itself. after
 having crossed the Alps and put 10 1 flight the armies of the mistress Of the world, was driven from his cOun-
 try and died at last of poison admins tered by his own hands in a foreign
 land, unlamented and unwept Caesar, the cOnquerOr of 500 cities. and his temples bound with ehaplets dipped in the blood of a million Of his foes, was miserably assassinated by
 those he considered his nearest friends.
 Bonaparte. whose mandate kings and emperors obeyed. after filling the earth
 with the terror of his name. closed his days in lonely banishment upon a bar
 ren rock in the midst of the Atlantic ocean.
 Such the four men who may be con sidered representatives of all whom the world calls great. and such their end-intoxication, or poison. suicide. murdered by friends. lonely exileI
