Campaigning in tho Philippines.

Campaigning In the Philippines.
From the New York World.
On Feb. s, the Filipinos began the
war by attacking our lines at Manila.
There were three days Of hard fight
ing, and then on Feb. 8, the War De-
partment gave out at Washington the
following bulletin:
Gen. Otis cables: Situation rapidly
improving. Army disintegrated and
natives returning to villages"
There were two months of hard fight
ing, interspersed with occasional an
nouncements that the war was about
over. n
Then on May z, Secretary Alger said
that he was docking for the surrender
of the Filipinos daily" And on May 8,
the War Department put this upon its
bulletin board:
Gen. Otis cables: "Signs of insur-
gent weakness more apparent daily"
at intervals during the next fifteen
days similar bulletins aspect Of
affairs favorable" ''insurgents daily
disintegrating," &c, &c.-were posted.
Then on May %. through the censor
ship at Manila came this dispatch by
Associated Press:
Manila, May 26.wThe events Of the

Ghosts.
When the brilliant hues Of the sunset fade
Into amber and paly gold;
When the wren and the robin sleep In the
And the shepherd shuts his fold;
When the lamps are lit In the deep blue skies
And the toll VI the day " done
Pale, haunting ghosts Of the past arise
From the shadows one byOne.
The ghost Of the words we did not say \
In the days forever tied
Comes out Of the shadows dim and gray,
Aud the ghost OF the words We said.
OF the cruel word, Of the bitter word,
OF the word Of blame or scorn S
That was keen as the point OF q warriors sword
On . fxtB1ul battle mo IN.
The ghosts Of the woes of age and youth
That we. passed unheeded by,
OF the grief we did not ask to sOOthe,s
OF the tears we did not dry,
OF the Ills OF which we took no heed,
OF the grievOlls wrongs unfOught,
Come with that Of many cllurlisl deed,
Or Of good deed Left iinwrougflt.
They cluster round us, these phantom shades!
These ghosts of the days Of old,
AS the cheerful glow OF the daylight fades
In the twilight dim and cold, is
And In vain we moan, and In vain We weep,
And.we may not from them hide;
Closer and closer these shadows creep
In the twilights to our side.

Happily, the day of bred scrubs is
about past. Very few genuine "penny
royal" steers arc to be found now, and
each year they become fewer. The
scrub made go by lack of care and
careless feeding is still too much in evil
dence. 1t will not disappear as long as
corn stover is left in the field for cattle
to forage on during the winter. No
profit can result from any kind of
scrubs, ana the man who allows them
to remain on his farm and continue to
be scrubs will be the one who is really
to testify that there is no chance for
him to make both ends meet.

Medical authorities are generally
agreed as to the value of olive oil med
icinally, finding it also potent agent
for any defects of the excretory ducts,
especially the skin. Eczema has rapid
ly disappeared upon discontinuance
Of starch foods and the substitution of
diet of fresh and dried fruits, milk,
eggs and olive oil. The beneficial ef@
fects of the latter, when thus taken in
conjunction with q fruit diet, have fre-
quently been remarked in respect to the
hair, nails and scalp, supplying to the
sebaceous glands the oily substance
which they secrete when in healthy
condition, and the absence of which is
the cause of debility of the hair, fre-
quently ending In badness, says The
Scientific American. It has long been
observed that those who treat olive oil
as common article of food and use
1t as such are generally healthier. and in
better condition than those who do not,
and its therapeutic and prophylactic
properties are very fayorably regarded
by medical men. It Is known to be de.
structive to certain forms of micro or.
ganic life, and for the eradication Of
such from the system its internal use
has been successfully resorted to.

Malay shark Hunting.

The Malays have a peculiar way of hunting the shark. A man will remain stationary on the water to invite at- tack As the crea lure rolls over to bite, the wily Malay glides out of his way with few delft strokes of the left hand, while with the right he deliber- ateIy plants a pointed skewer between the open jaws of the expeetant shark.
 The result is simple, but surprising. The shark is, of course, unable to close

It's mouth, and the water just rushes down his throat and drowns him. It requires the greatest possible eoolness and nerve to kill q shark in this way, but the Malays look upon it as a favor Ite recreation and an exciting sport. When the monster is dead it's slayer dexterously climbs OF 10 it's back sad dlewise, and then. digging his knife into the sharks head to serve as a support and means of balance, the Malay uses his own legs as paddles and so rides the carcass back to the boat

Have You Large Thumbs i.

Experts on character and the hand declare that the thumb should be large and well shaped. If smaller at the base than anywhere else it denotes insanity, often criminal instincts. From the nail to the first joint is found will power; from second joint to base, logic and reason. The money-making hand has a thumb well developed and hard. The short thumb denotes selfshness and weakness. The large thumb shows justice, evenness and generosity are lacking.

TO where the clothes lay and took from
tho pockets watch and sum Of money,
something over dollars.
Tho clothes were In good repair but
where they came FROM no one seems to
know. The men employed on the electric
road construction saw the clothes but
supposed that they had been discarded by
some one and so did not examine them
as they lay quite a distances from where
they were at work The Westbrook po-
lice have received no complaint from any
one having lost such articles and are at a
loss to know how the clothing came
there.
