Broke Up the Show.

An actor tells of a tragic experience he had recently while playing to an audience in little town in southern Texas. In one of the scenes of the play, in which he acts the villain. he hides himself in a barrel, that he may listen to conversation between the hero and heroine. whose future we'll being he is trying to destroy. In the town hall there was little if any property" material. A barrel would do to conceal himself in, so 8 "hired hand" was sent out to find one. He succeeded. He slipped in the barrel with ease. The man and the woman appeared, and while they were in the midst of an animated conversation there came howl from the barrel that fairly shook the rafters. This was fol- lowed by the eavesdropper craving out with his hands to his face, and he in turn was followed by a swarm of wasps. The wasps got among the stage people and those in the audience, which created so much confusion that the show was broken up.

WOMEN cF THE PHILIPPINES
Their Reckoning Feature is Their
 Personal Cleanliness.

Personal Cleanliness.
 The aristoeratic Philippine matron and her daughters indulge in no greater bodily exercise, If they can help it, than that required for driving or shopping But the peasant woman shares her husbands work, whatever it may be, laboring at the blow behind an ungainiy carabao (water-buffalo) in the paddy-feld. or helping to pole huge loreha, or cocoanut raft, up or down the river, besides attending to her domestic cares. And I take pleas ure in saying that, whatever it's pro- priftor's rank or station, the native Philippine nipa hut is invariably marvel of neatness and cleanliness as 10 it's interior. far superior in this re- speet to the average dwelling house. be 1t that of a merchants clerk or that of the goyernor-generaL. So far as the latter are concerned a decent servants girl, such as are employed ia America and England, would not be content to remain in one two days. Hundreds of girls are employed in the great cigar factories, and others ill the convents 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 Geft fingers the infinitesimally delicate hbers. Sometimes they work for months to complete single mantilla or handkerchief These native womer are rarely employed by the European residents as domestic servants, except in the capacity of lady's maid or cn44- dren's nurse, and even these pos1l.ons are often occupied by boys. They are very unreliable. and the utter absence of the sense of gratitude, so character istic of the entire Philippine race, rem ders it an almost hopeless and very ez- asperating task to attempt to train thenAas servants. Their only redeem ing feature is their sense of absolute personal cleanliness, but in spite Of this many European women prefer to go to the expense and trouble of inn porting Chinese anna from Hong Kong or Canton rather than to intrust her children to the care of a native girl; although when in her own ca pacity as mother, the Filipina, so far as observation goes, leaves nothing to be deslred.-Woman's Home Gompan- ion.

FED TO ANIMALS.
@~iUilaeN-

In the corn districts of the United States the English sparrows have abandoned insects for gram
 Though horses train best on hay and oats in many stables they are now be- ing fed hay, bran, vegetables and corn, mixed, steamed and then served after this cooking. Dogs have been induced to fe1d on vegetables in order that they may be milder tempered and the dog biscuits fed them have taken the place of table scraps.
 Animals that live on one single food are growing more scarce among the highly organized creatures. There is evidence that the swan once fed on aquatic grasses. Once when ice de- stroyed the grass growing at the bot tom of the lagoon at Abbotsbur.7 the half-wild swans starved in hundreds because they would touch no other food. Nowadays they eat grain and bread.
 Instances of carnivorous animals turning to vegetable diet are rare. One noted instance is Scotch deer hound, which is so fond of peaches that it will stand on it's hind legs to reach them on the trees. In New lea- land parrot took to sheep-killing and eating, and some pigs evinced a prefer epce for a diet of young lamb, while some Australian sheep became not only earnivorous but cannihaL

Catching q Rogue.

In great city like London there R1e many importers who make a busi- ness of appealing to public sympathy by shamming sickness. Not only do they pretend to be crippled or blind, but they also feign epilepsy and other diseases, and are taken to public hos pitals i'll state of assumed uncon- sciousness. One of these imposters was carried into hospital from a po- lice van and laid on sofa in the ex- amining room. The resident surgeon had keen eye, and watched the pa- tient closely. As the apparently un- conscious man was deposited on the sofa a few pennies fell out of his pockets and rolled on the floor. The patient opened his eyes and made a quick movement to recover the coins. Then he bethought himself and drew back.
 The doctor, accustomed to deal with such pretenders, turned to an attend ant and remarked:
 You notice, probably, how limp tho man is, and how heavily he is breath ing. It is a bad case, and needs im- mediate and severe treatment. Fetch the battery
 There was a suspicious trembling of the patients hands, and the loud h~sathi1g ceased. When the battery was produced, the doctor added, brisk ly:
 "He scarcely breathes. You must be quick Let him have the full power of the battery. Half a charge will not answer the purpose
 The patient by this time had opened his eyes from sheer terror, and before the wires were well in hand he had found his voice. Sitting bolt upright on the sofa, he shrieked:
 "Let me go. beg of you. There is nothing the matter with me. I am only a poor sort of humbuG that tries to make few pennies by shamming. Turn off your batteries and let me go."
 The patent was dismissed after he had picked up the coins which had fallen under the sofa.

GREAT IS MEXICO.
so WRITES A CORRESPONDENT
 FROM CAPITAL.
Many Manufacturing Concerns Born Every Week-Cigarette Trade Is Ex.
 banding Paper Mills and Cotton Machinery. a

At home and abroad there is plenty of confidence in the future of Mexico. In Europe we have seen it evidenced the past week in the adoption of a plan for the conversion of Mexieo's gold debt of $97,000,000, bearing 6 per cent interest, to a per cent basis, writes correspondent from the City of Mexico. Here we have seen, in the past ten days, the incorporation of several new companies for manufac. turing purposes, the formation of a cigarette makers league or trust, for tt amounts to that, and the putting cf nearly $1,000, 900 more into a new ci- garette factory; fresh orders for cot ton mill machinery, and remarkably good showing in customs receipts for Shls time of the year. Mexicans have more money than ever before to buy foreign goods, and they are importing heavily. Even with all the new cotton mills and print works, the home sup ply of cotton textiles is insufficient fo1 the demand, and imports in that line. beth from the United States and Eu- 
 rope, are increasing, | fact which in- spires cotton mill people to order more machinery and to put up new mills. A large new paper mill, backed by Mexican and resident Spanish capital, is to be built near this city, and the machinery is already ordered. A great extent of the streets of this city are to be paved with asphalt, and already the principal streets are handsomely paved with concrete blocks, which make an ideally smooth pavement. The new Banco Central is running up a heavy list of depositors, and has S3,000,000 paid-in capital, and will, in 6 year or two, double that amount. 1 Shares in the new American bank have sold this week at heavy premium, and the institution is doing a large and very profitable business. The older banks report good business in 1899, and will soon increase their capital. the National to have $22,000,000 effective capital and the London $19,000,000. These are business facts, which show how Mexico is booming along under the hrm rule of the present admins tration. which is business from the word go," to employ an effective collo- quialism.
 President Diaz is taking life little easier, turning over many matters, which he once felt he must supervise, to his ministers, and yet he puts ln his fourteen to sixteen hours a day, which is wonderful work for states man 69 years old.
 The federal government has adopted new rules regarding concessions, and people seeking charters must give the best of references and be prompt with their forfeit money. Mere spectators no longer have any chance, either with the federal or city government. Mexi- co has reached a point where her credit is first class, and can demand the ref erences of people seeking government --iviI<e.
