capable Of division he places it in two
pals or basket panniers which he bal
ances at each end of his pole. When
heavily loaded the coolie goes at
peculiar sort of dog trot, which con-
sists of short stealthy steps and move
ment of each shoulder with it. The
coolie, like all his celestial brethren,
cultivates the growth of his raven
locks, though they seriously interfere
with business. At home they never
seem to adopt any kind of couture ex.
cept the pigtail, but in Manila indi-
vidual taste comes into play in this
matter and the results are varied and
interesting. Sometimes their tresses
stream freely down their backs and
no attempt is made to confine them in
any style whatever.
One feature of the houses in Manila
which is rather hard for the foreigner
to get accustomed to is the presence
of the great number of lizards which
crawl around the ceilings and walls OF
the rooms at night. They are harm
less, but the thought that they may
occasionally lose their grip and drop
down in ones face is not calculated to
make them welcome members of the
household. There are many scorpions
about, but they keep exclusively in
the dark corners of the house and yard
and otherwise behave themselves we'll.

Cultivation of Corn.

+ A Tennessee farmer asks when
should one stop cultivating corn. II
the cultivator teeth are not allowed to
go more than about two inches deep,
and as the corn gets large they do not
go too close to the stalks, cultivation
may be continued to advantage as long
as horse can get through the crop
without doing material injury. OF
course, this is on the supposition that
the crop is cultivated regularly about
once week, when the land is dry
enough. If one should fail to stir the
ground for two or three weeks, and
then should go in and cultivate, some
damage might be done to roots that
had grown up near the surface. But
regular, frequent shallow stirring of
the surface can do no harm, no matter
how long continued, and much good
may result.
Weeds are kept down, much water
is saved from evaporation, the air can
get into the soil better and thus help
the growth of the crop, and some
plant food may be made available for
that and the following crop that would
not be of use if cultivation was stopped
earlier in the season. There are tons
of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash in an acre of almost any soil that
you cultivate. But nature has locked
up these elements for plants to feed
on, and each year only makes small
amount available. If you want more
you have only to work for it under
standingly. and you can get a reason
able amount. And you can get it
usually for much less than it would
cost in purchased fertilizers.
1t is only within few years that
learned professors have begun to un-
derstand how much plant food, in an
unavailable form, there was in the
soil, and to advise farmers to manage
so as to get more OF it. Short rota-
ton, with it's frequent plowing of
the soil, and then long continued cul-
tivation of the corn. potatoes, ETC.,
will help about making plant food
ava liable for wheat, rye, crimson
clover, or whatever crop may follow to
occupy the ground as soon as corn,
ETC., die.-T. B. Terry in Practical
Farmer.

FILIPINO WOMEN BowING BEFORE THE cATAcoMBs

the smoking of the favorite cigarette.
In house work it takes one native SER
want to accomplish each task of diff.
ferent character. For instance, in a
large house there is "hoor boy"
whose duty it is to keep all the beau
tiful hardwood floors in a clean and
shiny condition, and this is the way
he does it: The dust is first carefully
brushed up with a hemp arrangement
which in its effects is cross between
a feather duster and hearth brush.
This is merely preliminary to the
act of polishing, a work of art which
has been developed on original lines.
Two large, soft cloths are laid on the
floor, and the "boy," who may be a
grandparent, firmly plants foot on
each. He next glides slowly back
and forth on the floor, more like a
man on snowshoes than anything else.
Waddling along in his fimsy white
clothes, casting an occasional look
behind at his trail to see if it is suf-
fciently shiny, he presents picture
which is SO amusing that you cannot
help bursting into laughter when you
see it for the first time.
The native is often barefooted; if
not, he almost invariably wears the
native slippers which are called

just as happy squatting on the foov
or on the ground as on chair.
Besides the natives in Manila, there
is large population of "Mestizos"
and "Chinos." The former is the
name for half-castes, the latter for
Chinese. After being in Manila q
week or two most foreigners find it
more natural to use these native terms
than the ones that they have been ac-
customed to. The "Chinos" are many
of them well-to-do, being merchants
or having some trade, such as tailor
ing. A great number of them, how.
ever, are coolies, and form large ele-
ment of the picturesque in Manila. II
the Filipinos are satisfied with few
clothes, the coolies are quite content
to wear almost none, and nobody
thinks anything of it. They are to be
seen on the street at any hour of the
day, even at noontime, when the
poorest native prefers siesta to the
most lucrative employment.

There is not great deal of fun in
the Philippines, but one occasionally
encounters sight or an incident
which brings a smile. Usually, these
are of type which must be seen to be
appreciated. In wandering about Ma
nila, particularly the new city, which
is the centre of material life as the
old city is of spiritual life, one should
either have his nose ut home or plug
it up. The wear and tear exercised
by the highways and byways upon the
olfactory organs are quite severe.
There is fair measure of offense to
the eye as we'll, but that instrument
possesses wider adaptability than
does the nose. It resents less keenly.
The novelty is ephemeral, but there is
novelty for the outsider in the life of
the chief city of the Philippines. The
novelty gone, one rather shrinks from
it all. IT gets almost to border on the
repulsive, so greatly is it lacking in
inherent attractiveness.

Tho Frilied Sheep OF Africa.

The sheep that inhabit the noun.
tainous regions of Northern Africa up
to Nubia is kind of wild sheep which
has received it's specific name from
the long name which covers the fore
part of the body. Captured young,
it can easily be tanned and trained.
The old bucks, however, are very
vicious. These animals attain an
average height of thirty-seyen and a
half inches, and the length of the
body is from sixty to sixty five inches,
without measuring the tail. The
illustration represents specimen of
these sheep living at the geological
garden in Berlin, Germany. It is not
known whether the frilled sheep had
any relation with the domestic ami
mails of Africa. Skeletons of these
sheep are found in the Egyptian
museums, and these euadrupeds are

a good road or will become good road
in time by constant usage. The ex.
oeption which proves the rule is the
sandy road. A sandy road is dry
road, but not good road.
To assist the drainage the road
should be first crowned and then about
four to six inches of crushed stone,
depending upon the amount of travel,
put on, gradually decreasing little in
thickness as it approaches the cutters;
then heavy steam roller passed over
it two or three times to set il; upon
this about three or four inches of finer
crushed stone should be placed and
steam roller passed over it again. A
great deal of care should be taken not
to have the road fat on top. This
hard stone dressing forms almost
waterproof covering that will last for
years if properly taken care of each
spring by putting on some fine crushed
stone.
This covering will let the water drain
freely to the cutters and leave COM
partively dry road in a few minutes
after heavy rain. This is very i'm
portant in another way, as it keeps the
ground underneath the road free from
saturation and thereby makes strong
foundation. It is the natural earth
underneath the covering that must bear
the weight of the road 1t really sus-
tains in addition the weight of stone,
ETC., as well.
If this natural soil, or foundation of
the road, is permitted to become satu-
rated with water, either by water per-
colating down into it from the surface
Or from water rising into it from be-
low, it has not strength to resist the
wheels which at once sink into it, and
ruts are formed. But if this soil foun-
dation is kept dry OF nearly so it is
strong and will support any load likely
to pass over it. If the water is shed
from the road to the cutters and there
remains, the water works it's way into
the earth at the foundation of the road
and causes the injury above spoken eff.
Speaking of the great Importance of
keeping a road in repair, let a wagon
track, scarcely perceptible at first, af-
ter a shower stand full of water and
soften the road at that spot, another
wagon passing along later sinks fur.
ther into the softened track, here is a
deeper hole to hold water, soon it be-
comes a rut. then the rut develops in
to pitch hole The soil underneath
is brought up and mixed with surface
covering. the surface covering is
broken down and forced into the soil.
