THE FILIPINO MILKMAN.
His Outft Is Rather Primitive-An
Enterprisfng Australian and His
Lucrative Boxfnesa.

The water buffalo or caribou COW sup
plies the milk used in the Philippine is
lands. An Australian has recently
taken so head of cows from his own
country to Manila and started a dairy.
He has demand for more milk than
he can supply at so cents Mexican a
quart. The First Reserve United States
hospital pays him milk bill of $1,000
gold month. These were the first cat
tie, except the water buffalo, ever
brought to the Philippines, and the cost
OF the freight from Australia amounted
to twice the value of the animals in
the British colony.
The water buffalo, besides supplying
the natives with milk is slaughtered
for the meat, but very little is used in
the Philippines. They are also the
beast OF burden and the family pet. The
children will climb all over the animal
and it is as gentle as kitten, except
when it is very warm and the flies are
troublesome, when it will take very
sudden notion to run for the nearest
river or mud pond, burying itself CON
pletely and wallowing until covered
with coat of black sticky mud, which
serves to keep the flies from torturing
IT. 50 effectively.

MAN FROM MEMPHIS.
His Opinion of Chicago Weather Was
Formed from Seeing q Radia-
tor SalesrOOm.

A stranger in Chicago trudged along
Dearborn street the other day with "a
yellow valise in one hand and tattered
and travel-worn copy of Memphis
paper in the other. At the corner of
Lake street his gaze wandered to one
of the big windows in the block, and
he paused and sidled up to it, Before
him was the salesroom of d steam radi-
ator company, and various styles,
shapes and sizes of radiators were
strewn through the rom at frequent
intervals; there looked to be enough
of them there 70 hsat the Klondike and
portion of Siberia.
The strangers eyes grew big and
round AS he put down his valise. tucked
the paper into his breast pocket and
"lasped his hands behind his bottle
green frockcoat. His gaze travelled
down one vista of radiators and up
another. He tried to count them, and
got lost at 240, because the ones at the
far end began to jump up and down be-
fore his sight-or seemed to. Then he
shook his head slowly and reached for
his valise.
I've heard tell that Chicago is a cold
place in winter" he muttered as he
went on, but, dog my cats if thought
it was cold enuf to take bout 500 Of

TRICKY PETS
The DOssy and the Monxoose Are
Fond of Playing Jokes ON
Their Owners.

The dossy, or rock rabbit" is new
pet which has been brought from South
Africa, and he is a very nice little fell
low, but he has one little trick that
nervous old ladies do not like. He
waits till he finds his master or a friend
~ visitor asleep or reading or writing,
and then he creeps as quietly as a
mouse TO as great distance as he can
jump, and when the busy person is not
looking for anything of the kind he
springs square on that persons lap
or knee, or on the table beside him, hy-
ing off again, light as bird, and is out
of the Dom while the astonished person
is having four kinds of fits.
The mongoose, furry little animal
abolt the size of cat, which is used to
hunt snakes, also plays trick of this
kind. 1t cannot jump, SO it climbs up
behind the busy person, never making
the least bit of noise, and all at once,
while the busy one is thinking perhaps
Of something clear on the other side
of the world, they feel cold, black nose
pushed up against their ear, and turn
around with shrek to see the mon
goose, with its face full of mischief
running away to its box as fast as II
can go.

OUR SPORTS IN HAVANA.
Cubans Readily Take te Horse Rae
ing. BASEBALL, Golf ana Other
Amusements.

An army officer said TO e Havana Her
aid reporter recently that, in his opin-
ion. the successful meet of jockey
club, combined with the enthusiasm
which exists for baseball, TO be fol-
lowed, he predicted, by golf, tends TO
prove that American amusements will
take root in Cuba. Continuing, he
said; Heaven speed the day when the
cock fights and the bullfights are SUI
perseded by contests improving to the
moral and physical nature, The sol
diers sailors, marines and officers have
given practical demonstration of
what they can do, and trust that our
insular and peninsular friends will now
follow suit. Why should there not be
foot races, jumping, leaping and vault
ing? Perhaps some of our Cuban
friends would like to play polo or ring
tilting. Their small, wiry ponies would
give them an immense advantage in
this respect over the large American
horse.
IF Capt. Bellairs is as well posted in
Tattersall rules as we believe him TO be,
no doubt he could get up series of
exercises involving tie Balaklava melee
and pegging. participation in which
would be healthful and instructive to
those who witnessed
capt. Lucien Young has shown him
self such an admirable judge, toast
master and citizen that we venture to
suggest that he provide an aquatic con-
test between soldiers, Cubans, sailors
and marines"

THE PUPIL AND THE MASTER.

o It's q sad old world. my MASTER
This world that we are living in
Made up of sorrow and disaster,
And toll and suffering and sin.
Why, at the dawning of creation,
Could not the Lord have willed il then
That virtue and not degradation
Should be attractive unto men?
Why was not wrong made to repel?
Why was not right arrayed in beauty!
Why must we labor TO do well?
Why is 1t sweet to flee from duty?
All. tell me why the gems that glitter
Are hidden in the deepest caves,
While countless wor. bless pebbles litter
The shores Tapped h. ) the restless waves
Why men must dig for golden treasures,
While barren rocks bestrew the ground !;
Why people turn from common pleasures
That always, everywhere abound?
Ah, tell me, master. tell me. pray,
Why vices visage Is so plea SAINT?
Why virtue hides herself away,
While shameless sin is ever present?
Bel old the grace of yonder mosntain
Look on the fields that stretch below!
Hark to the music of the fountain,
And see the shadows come and go
You say that all eaIth's choicest treasures
Lie hidden from the SIGHT of men,
That vice affords our sweetest pleasures
But go and love and Tell men, then
If you would have things otherwise
Go forth and do your simple duty;
'Tis only unto righteous eyes
That virtue ever shows her beauty
The pupil stole away confounded,
For he had sinned, and day and night
BY shadows of his sins was bounded
And beauty fed before his sight
He left his sinful way and pleasures
Erst hidden from him came to please:
He found his Dathway Streysp with tran q.
ures,
And joy was in each passing breeze!
He sought his master out and cried:
How fair the world! how full of glad
nessi
There's loneliness on every side,
And not note is one of sadness"

"Iou aren't anybody unless you have
a linen closet" said the hostess. "That
goes without saying. Well, the proper
way now is to have wooden rollers the
width of your cloths, and as they come
out from under the iron they are care

pins and laid in long, deep drawer.
They are conveniently handled after
you get them on the rollers, but the
getting them there smooth is the rub.
It's a great scheme, though, for there's
no denying the fact that il is sort of

"A friend of mine has a different
plan" added the cosmopolitan. "She
has rollers fastened on arms which
come down from the ceiling of her linen
closet, and two maids simply take the
cloth and hang it over the curvced
wood. She puts three or four on the
same pole" But fancy!" rejoned the
girl with the pink waist; suppose you
wanted the under cloth. And linen does
slip so. Can't you imagine the maids
lost in deluge of white tablecloths?
! think, to give my honest opinion, that
the perfectly fat cloth would drive one

ANIMAL HEAD FORMS.
They Are Made I'm Great variety ans
Sold In Large Numbers In
This Country

There .re made for f,rriers and for
other uses great numbers OF animal
head forms, these being reproductions,
in a composition used for the purpose
Or in papier- -mache, of the heads of va
rious animals, including squirrels,
foxes, wolves, bears, tigers and almost,
If not, indeed, every known kind of ami
NAL, large and small, says the New York
Sun.
Animal head forms are commonly
made with the mouth open, showing
the inside of the jaws and the tongue
and the teeth. These parts, in heads of
all sizes and whatever the animals may
be, are finished and colored by the head
form manufacturer. The eyes are com
monty put in by the furriers and Others
using the head forms when the forms
are covered, though they are sometimes
put in by the head-form manufacturer
There are made in artinciai ycs te-
productions from nature of the eyes
of practically all known animals and
birds. Such eyes are sold and used in
the aggregate in enormous numbers.
The smaller animal head forms are
sold by the gross; big ones, like bears
and tigers. by the dozen. Taking them
all together, large and small, the num-
ber of animal head forms used is very
large, amounting in this country to mil
lions annually. The smaller heads are
produced at very small cost. Formerly
the animal head forms used in this
country were imported from Germany
and England. Now they are made here,
and some American head forms are ex-
ported.

WHERE ICE IS WELCOME.
Gen. Funston Lon9eh to Cut the Ice
of Success and Has mt Last
Found II.

In connection with the possibility of
Gen. Funston having political ambi-
ton, ]. w. Gleed tells story which
gives much insight into the character
of the man, says the Kansas City Jour
nal.
Gleed was in New York on the day
Funston sailed away to join the insur-
gent forces in Cuba, and accompanied
him to the steamer to say good-by.
While the pair were talking at the
steamer landing, Funston spoke of his
probable future, and said:
willis, i have no ambition to get
rich. wouldn't etintop politics for any
thing. | am afraid ! have no settled
aim or clearly seen ambition. But, new
ertheless, want to cut some ice in the
world, and intend TO keep hustling un-
til my time comes"
This yearning to cut ice has been
manifest in all the movements of the
restless, tireless, always moving young
Kansas soldier. He has searched for
his opportunity from the Arctic to the
equator. Never staying anywhere long,
he has dropped one thing after another
in fashion that made his friends fear
he was a changeling and unstable.
But now they begin to comprehend
that II was the eagerness and fretful-
ness of mighty ambition, and that
what they deplored in him was the very
characteristic that was to lead him on
toglory. Atlast, 10000 miles away from
home, he found a chance to cut the ice
of his ambition, and in cutting he cut
aplenty.

efforts to provoke n few reluctant tears.
He struggled vainly, making all a

ever, and that Which ut the same time
caused the tears to dim many an eye,
was the sight OF n group of Jewish
