Fun on a Military Transport.

When the United States transport Zelandia carried part of the second ex- petition of troops from San Francisco to Manila during the early part of the war now in progress. aboard were the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers and the now famous Utah battery.
 To divert the monotony of long voyage the yet lintrained soldiers in. dulged in all sorts of games and. pranks during the intervals between. drill and school
 The officers were not all inclined to. stand upon military dignity, and so when the privates had exhausted each others good nature they dragged in the tnoncoms," who in turn dragged the commissioned officers into the va rious. traps the skylarkers set for each other.
 Says an ex-high private who took the voyage in question:
 Some of the boys were gathered together on the forward deck; quietly they passed the word back that so and ob NdS NdlbSQs lOI " dA u OuC of the group would beckon to him mysteriously and as he stopped to lis- ten 'whack' would come a tremendous blow from a barrel slave from some unknown source behind him.
 After a yell of laughter had sub. sided he would be handed the stave and given the privilege of naming the next victim.
 This happened in turn to private, corporal. sergeant. lieutenant, captain md major, and the boldest held their breath as the major. with a grim imile, said;
 Private Smith, present my compli- nents to the colonel and tell him that Maj. - respectfully desires his pres nee forward

HOW A FILIPINO DIES.

Usually Stretches Himself Out and Meets

 The general, in a white hat was marching in advance of the firing line, when the discharge of rife was heard ih the yard of house next to the road. several soldiers rushed into the yard. but not in time to prevent two more shots, which came whizzing in the di rectioA of the general. At this moment came to break in the hedge. where I could see what was going on. A young Filipino was about thirty yards off. lie was turning this way and that like an animal at bay, thoroughly fright ened. He had a rife in his hand. It afterWaTd turned out that this rife was ehoked. The soldiers were break ing down the high hedge to get in Suddenly the Filipino made run for life. He got through the hedge some way and dashed across an open lot. Three shots followed, all of which took effect The wounded man turned ran sideways few paees, lay down on the ground, and second after was dead. l got good sight of the whole incident. and so naturally did the Fiji. ipino stretch himself along the ground and rest his head upon his arm that thought he was shamming. An exam ination a minute later proved that he was dead. There is this difference be- tween the manner in which American and Filipino soldiers die-the Ameri- can falls in a heap and dies hard; the Filipino stretches himself out, and when dead is always found in some easy attitude, generally with his head on his arms. They die the way a wild animal dies-in just such position as one finds a deer or an antelope which one was shot in the wood Harpers Weekly.

The ra1anttee a success.

The statement is confidently made that the taxameter, or cab-fare indi- cator, will quickly be introduced in all the civilized cities of the world. It appears that in both Berlin and Lon don, where the taxameter has been adopted. it has been as popular with the "eabby" as with the fare. The reason of this surprising fact is that this system of automatic fare indica- ton effectively and permanently in- creases the number of fares. Many persons object to ride in cabs because of the possibility of an altercation with the driver as to the amount of the fare when the trip is ended. Ali that is put at an end by the taxame- ter, which shows, in plain sight, the distance trayersed and the fare to be paid. Consequently more persons are riding in cabs today than ever rode before, and the increase in the number of fares is looked upon as permanent. The taxameter also enables the pro- prietor to control and check the daily receipts and efficiency of the vehicle or the distance covered by it. More over, since the apparatus calculates the fare on the basis of the distance covered, the driver earns his money quicker according to the rate at which he drives, system equally profitable and agreeable to both passenger and driver It is said that the cab pro- 1,,-iofo1s v1-ho hoe Ovco ;p4ro5,tcod +hh fare indicator can and may nc. longer conduct his business without it. In Berlin, where the taXameter introduc- tion at first was strongly opposed by masters and men, 5.500 of the city's 6,500 irst-class cabs are now fitted with them. The cab proprietors pay $125 month for each instrumank

 Nine tons of poultry, consisting of 2.169 geese. turkeys, chickens and ducks, from Boston, were recently landed at a London dock, where it was found that. they had decayed on the voyage. They could not be condemned, however, till they had been loaded on wagons and carted to 8 police court, where a police magistrate came. out, listened to the inspectors story, sat- isfied himself by his own senses that the fowls were unsound, and ordered them to be destroyed.

 liar People.
 Jewels set in teeth are occasionally heard of, but gold and precious stones. set in the human body is a fad not extensively popular. A gentleman re- siding in Bombay wears beautiful emerald, wh.ch, set in rim of gold, is stitched by means of gold wire to the breast of the owner. Thus securely fastened, the green gem has rested un- der his shirt front for ten years. He considers it his lucky stone. Worn by a certain barrister is a ring that will not come off. It is plain gold band of considerable thickness, a rivet of the previous metal piercing the ring and passing through the bone of the finger, is filed down on the opposite side. Nothing save amputation of the member would release him of the circlet For sentimental reasons he wishes it to be his lifelong and in separable companion. Having de- cayed part of his instep cut away, a wealthy invalid has had the crevice filled with gold. To appear ornamen- tai the metal is shaped like star, the center boasting a large diamond and a cluster of small rubies Stitched to the skin of his waist is the gold chain belt sported by another extraYagant being. The belt is two inches broad and eighteen stitches are necessary to secure it. Tn front trio of fine chains dangle to the knees of the wearer, who is so proud of his decoration that he occasionally disrobes to reveal the permanent ornament to favored friends.-New York Journal.

ANeyv Ruskin=Story.

A characteristic new Ruskin story Ahe accuracy of which is vouched for by the Bookman. is as follows: A eer- tain person in this country sent a friend of his in England an American edition of Ruskins works. They were seized by the customs authorities. Of course. and were in peril of confsca- ton. when the coIsignee learned that If he could procure a letter from Mr Ruskin allowing >he books to pass into England the customs would re- lease them Accordingly a letter of request was sent to Mir Ruskin, who replied promptly and with character 5stie yerye as follows; Sir: do not zee that your friends desire to give you q present R my expense is any apology for your intrusion upon me Yours. etc, John Ruskin" The books came back to America, but in spite of very tempting offers the recipient oi MT. Ruskin's curt reply refuses to part with the autograph.

New Orleans Times-Democrat q was travelling through a thinly settled district up the country some time ago , said drummer, who can't tell lie when he sees one, and had occasion 10 stop at a small town off the line of the road. The only vehicle could get at the station was ramshackle buggy driven by an old darky, and as we snailed up the road I amused myself byrpumping him about people and things. Finally 1t occurred to me to get some pointers on the best place to lodge. Look here, uncle. I said where do folks generally hang out here?' The old man gave a sudden start and glared at me with evident apprehension.

NO CRIME
To Tell of What occurs in Grand
 Jury Room

Jury Room.
 New York Journal: The written de- cision Of Justice Fursman, based on his recent order directing the case of A Roland B. Molineux to be resubmitted toAthe grand jury, was filed yesterday. In this decision Justice Fursman form ally expresses his opinion of the du- ties and proper conduct Of grand ju- rers, and he also touches on such pro- eeedings before the grand jury which in his opinion should be kept secret. Regarding the presumption that all the proceedings of a grand jury are se- eret, Justice Fursman says in his de- cision: Ut is quite mistake to sup pose that everything that occurs in a grand jury room is secret. Some things must be kept secret, to-wit: The finding of an indictment where the party indicted is not in custody. Also how any grand juror votes upon the finding of an indietment-th is not to be disclosed But whatever occurs during the examination of witness whether the district attorney and the foreman of the grand jury or any grand Juror and witness, cannot in the nature of things be kept secret. Any witness may disclose to the outside world everything that took place. and there is no inhibition in any law what ever to prevent It, nor is it an offense for him to disclose it."

aissouri Students Growing whiskers.
 The students of Missouri university aave organized club to promote the growth of whiskers. The bylaws, which were adopted on Feb. 14, are rigid and exacting. No student will be permitted to shave before next April, and something more than moustache is required. The student who has the longest beard at the close of school is to be rewarded. The club is said to owe it's existence to the fact that the pupils became distressed at the re marks regarding their extremely youthful appearance.

Speed of Lions and Tigers.

For a short distance lion or a tiger can outrun man, and can equal the speed of a fast horse, but they lose their wind at the end of half mile at the most. They have little endurance, and are remarkably weak in lung pow CT. Their strength is the kind which is capable of terrific effort for short time.

Efforts Making to stop the Cursed
 Traffic in Russia.

EHorts Making t0 Stop the Cursed
 Traffic in Russia.
 St Petersburg Cor. New York Times: In view of the International Congress to be held in London at the end of the present month for the dis cussion Of the best measure to be taken for the prevention of the white slave" traffic, the Noyosti has lately been publishing detailed accounts of the manner in which this business is car fied on in Russia The trade has de- veloped to a great extent in the past few years throughout Western Europe, but the town of Jassy is it's center The women are bought, particularly at Leipsie. during the great annual fair. but it is the capital of MoldaVia, which Is the central point of the traffic, just as khartoum was formerly the mar Ret place for the human merchandise imported from Abyssinta and Central Africa. From Jassy the merchandise is directed to Russia and Turkey. Next to Jassy, Brussels has become the most important center for this business. The white slaves destined for Russia are generally sent to Riga or to Wilma where the wholesale merchants from St. Petersburg and Moscow meet to make their selections. ,. These they transfer at once to the principal cities of the empire and to the remote prov inces of Siberia. There was recently arrested in Odessa an agent of the principal Russian white slave" mer- chants, and at his residence a volumi- nous correspondence. with sub-agents at Jassy, Brussels. Riga and. elsewhere, Was found. Thanks to this edifying correspondence, the Russian police. as eertained that white slave agencies 'ex- ist throughout Russia. in rural dis tricts as well as in the principal cities and towns. In some of these letters the sub-agents mentioned that they had exceptionally fine merchandise at a relatively low price, five parcels (sic) in all" Then there followed a detailed description of the goods. The Odessa agent in question has been exiled to Siberia, where he will spend the next ten years. From what I hear, the Rus sian government considers the white slave traffic as an international curse, which can only be successfully eradi- cated by the united efforts of all civil- ized nations It is we'll known that the czarina is herself deeply interested ia this matter.
