THE FIREMAN's LIFE.

"Of course every thing about the fire
department interests us always" said
Mr.. Glimby, in the New York Sun, but
there is one little thing in particular
that I've seen 1 suppose hundreds of
times that appeals to me more every
time see it, and that is the firemen
getting into their coats as they go
along. You see this among the men on
trucks and on hose wagons; the men on
the engine have to use their hands to
hold on.
ITS simple enough thing in gen.
eral to see man putting on his coat.
but here he isn't standing up in his
room before a mirror, but he's jumped
out Of bed and taken his coat under his
arm and slid down sliding pole, and is
completing his dressing sitting on top
Of rack Of ladders going through the
street like mad, drawn by three great
horses, at one end, with man down at
the other end steering this outfit with
wheel. This sight never loses it's nov
city or its interest. You may see the
same thing on hose wagon.
"But what set me to speaking about
this now was seeing man on a fire
patrol wagon, sitting on one of their
long seats, facing outward, pulling ur
the tops of his high boots. Red wagon

FACTS ABOUT THE LADRoNEs.

The Ladrones are northeast of the
Caroline islands and directly east of
the Philippines, not over days jour
ney from either.
Although small and apparently in
consequential, for few people have
ever heard of the Ladrones until now,
these islands have an ancient history.
They were discovered by Magellan in
1921.

sweet and good. The inside has ker-
mel which can only be bitten when the
fruit is fresh.
There are IA Of the Ladrone islands,
but the principal ones are Agrigan,
Saipan, Tinian, Rota and Guam The
others are not regularly inhabited, be-
ing used for special purposes such as
farming by the Inhabitants of the La
drones.
A very queer mineral product is a
stone which changes -oOlef-in the at
mosphere. Cold days it is black, hot
days it is bright red, when rain
threatens it is pinkish and in cloudy
weather it is blue. This stone lies on
the highways and the pedestrian can
forecast the weather.

it. But once past the nose it is so de-
licious that he will eat until too full
to walk. This fruit ripens once q
month and is plentiful.
For long time these islands were
regarded as too volcanic to be habit

thickly studded with volcanoes. which

Along the shore there is rich, fertile
soil in which all things can be grown.
Queen Maria Anne ofAustria widow
of Philip w., king of Spain, received a
present from them Of quantity of
large, rich bread fruit, which so pleased
her that she requested that the islands
be named after her. Accordingly in
1868 the Ladrone islands were renamed
Mariana, after the queen of Spain, and
such has been their legal name ever
since, although they are still popular
ly called the Ladrones.
The Caroline people and the Ladrone
people have been intermarried until
the two sets of islands are close kin.
Tho Ladrones are dark-colored, rather
small, and very shapely, with straight
hair, and, often, blue eyes. The Caro-
lineans are very tall, copper-colored.

No silent Clocks for Them.

Pearson's Weekly: A clock manu-.
facturer of Birminraam found that a
rival was doing a large trade in cheap
clocks sent out to the wilds of Africa.
He got hold of a sample clock, and,
finding that there was a heavy profit in
the enterprise, invested large sum OF
money in making a still better clock.

the same market.
Strange to say, sales were slow,
while his rival, turning out cheaper
and far less accurate timepiece, was
selling all he could make. Investiga-
ton showed the cause.
Savages like noise. The clocks made
by the original exporter had a particu-
larly loud and aggressive tick; his imi-
tator made better clock, but it was
almost noiseless, and the sayages
would have none OF it. The remedy
was simple. The next shipment of
clocks to the Guinea coast licked more
loudly than anything previously heard
there. and all went we'll.

THE INDIAN FIGHTER
INDIVIDUAL FIGHTING HIS STYLE. AND
TIME HASN'T CHANGED IT.

It Is Seldom That an Order Ts Given
Him in Battle-The United States Reg.
ular Knows His Traits and Is an Ex.
pert at the Game.
The Indian method Of fighting. as
shown at Leech Lake, is a UNIQUE TYNE
OF warfare and as such is a subject Of
great interest to foreign military men.
The United States regular soldier is an
expert at 1t, and has learned to fight
tne indian as the Indian fights him.
Military attaches sent by foreign gov
ernments to observe the Spanish-Amer-
lean war asked many questions from
American officers on this topic. and
considered the veteran Indian fighter.
represented by such men as Generals
Ghatfee and Kent, as one of the best
types of soldiers.
Individual fighting is the Indian
style. 1t was SO in the days before the
revolution, and century has not chang,
ed it. The Indian has adopted many
innovations taught him by the white
man. He usually wears "store clothes
IN these days and lives in a house. even
Il 1t IS only a log hut. But he fights
as his forefathers did, seeking to gain
an advantage over his foe by ambush
or some other form of strategy, The
Indian who can hide behind a rock or
tree and shoot down an unsuspecting
foe who is passing is considered much
more of a hero than one who will fight
IN the open and die braYely facing the
enemy.
Indians on the warpath are com.
manded by chiefs, who are generally
elected at a council fire. These chiefs
are usually the heads of large families
and command squads of from twenty to
100 men, composed of their brothers,
sons, cousins and other relatives. One
of the chiefs is known as the Great
Chief" and is usually given this rank
for proves in war or hunting. He &C.
eupies something like the same relation
to the forces under him that a general
or colonel has in the United States
army, but his authority is much more
restricted and Is exercised only in rare
cases.
The usual method in fight, such as
that at Leeeh Lake, is for the chief to
advance and his men to follow him,
keeping near enough to see his move
ments and acting in conformity with
item. When the foe approaches with
in range general firing begins, one Of
the chiefs usually setting the example.
When his men see him fire they fire,
too, and SO the rattle of the gun be-
comes general.
It IS seldom that an order is given to
an Indian in battle He follows his
chief, picking out individual foes and
fighting them individually. His seant
eommissary and Quartermaster's are
rangements are attended to by squaws.
The United States regular, when
fighting Indians, adopts their tactics
only when the Indians are near. The
skirmish formation is then used and
the men dodge behind trees or rocks.
but they listen for and quickly obey
orders of their officers. If hard press
ed they usually assemble and throw up
hasty intrenchments, where they can
pour collective fire into any foe that
may attack them.

Vegetarian CrocodiIes.

A report by George Hoare, one OF
the officials of the British Central AZ
RIGA Protectorate, summarized in the
local gazette, contains some curious
details of the cIocodiles of Lake
Chiuta. They would seem to be strict
vegetarians, for net only have they
never been known to attack the men
fishing in the lake, but their tracks
were shown by tie natives to the
writer at a distance of several miles
from its shores, whence they are said
to travel overland in search of roots.
This is contrary to the habits of all
known species of crocodiles, which are,
in the first place, purely carnivorous,
and, in the second, SO helpless on land
from their inability to turn, except in
a large circle, that they never leave the
immediate vicinity Of their watery or
muddy home. Efforts will according
ly be made to obtain specimen of
this abnormal type of the formidable
amphibian.

AS TO THE EYEBROWS
THEY ARE MORE GENERALLY Me-
elected THAN CARED FOR.

This VIII Tek You How to Cultivate
Them and Make Them a Thing of
Beauty-Easy Enough If These Rules
Are Followed-Never Pull Them Out.
Poets and artists may continue to ex-
toll the expressive beauty of the deli
eately peneiled eyebrow, but the aver
age woman pays but little attention to
II, and beyond an occasional smoothing
with her finger leaves uncared for one
OF the incest and most particular por-
lions of her facial toilet. Like all
other points of beauty, this little pen
stroke of nature varies greatly with
the individual, but as a usual thing one
is endowed with just about the right
brow to harmonic with the features,
and a little judieious care is all that is
necessary to enhance this touch, which
goes solar tO make orto mar the entire
facial expression. When, however, the
formation of the eyebrow is decidedly
at fault, We have recourse to artifce to
help out the deficiency or obliterate it's
LONELINESS. The eyebrow should exc
tend slightly beyond the orifee of the
eye at either end, should terminate in
mere line toward the temple and be
slightly broader toward the nose. Upon
the breadth, the arch and the shade de-
pend much. Delicate features should
not be preponderated by broad broWs,
while those which are large and strong
in character need the holder brush to
accentuate their force. The brow is al
ways to be carefully smooth, glossy
and orderly. At a recent visit to DER
matologist society woman was great
~ amused when the so-called artist,
after carefully treating her skin for
real and imaginary blemishes, appar-
entity scrutinizing every part with a
microscope, completed his work in
hasty brush over the much disturbed
eyebrows with a eamels hair brush
and stepped back to announce his work
of identifying was complete. ''Now,"
she said with smile, "I'll show you
something. Look at me well and then
notice the difference" Selecting a stiff
little brush from among his numerous
paraphernalia, she brushed the hair of
both eyebrows straight up toward the
forehead, then carefully brushed them
down from above. This left an ex-
tremeiy delicate shading, every hair
clearly defined and distinctly separate,
and a clear, dark line along the center.
She shaped the inner line toward thG
nose with a cautious touch of the
brush, then turned to the manipulated
for his opinion, and he was magnani-
nous enough to admit that when the
brow was in healthy condition he had
never taken much pains about it's
dressing.
Never pull the hair out, even If it
grows too close over the brows; careful
brushing will in time shape it nicely,
and to certain features close brows are
a decided necessity. If you will take
the time some day to comb you brows
in various shadings you will soon dis
cover which style-Whether high or
low arch, rather fiat or fine and delicate
styles most becoming, and, once
learned, adhere strictly to it. The hair
will of its own accord finally shape it.
self in that direction.
