Manila, Feb. 2, via Hongkong,
China, Feb. 8.--Noon.-The second in
cursion of small bodies of insurgents,
resulting in the retirement of the
Nebraska regiment outposts from, Santa
Mesa, on Tuesday, created excitement
last night, but not shot was fired and
matters were amicably adjusted.
The Filipinos, it is asserted, arrest
all Americans within their lines, and
several of our soldiers are reported
missing. There is no confirmation,
however, of this report from official
sources.
The situation is sufficiently critical
to warrant the resistance of emergency
orders.
A recently converted gunboat is
patfolling the river nightly, which is
having a good effect ON the natives.
She carries two six-pounders forward,
two Nordenfeldts amidships, and four
Gatling guns in an improvised turret,
aft. She has crew of 60 men.
The insurgents continue concentrate
| ing their forces around the city. The
latest to arrive is a body of 200 naked
| Ygorotes, armed with spears. which is
stationed at Caloocan. The native

'sThe starching," says the card,
"should be solid, stiff enough to stand

work should have perfectly smooth

without gloss. Open-front shirts

holes come together to allow the stud
to be inserted without bulging the bo-
som.
"The bosoms of shirts should be
free from wrinkles and blisters at the
neck; the neckbands should be ironed
in their original shaped and set up at
right angles with the bosom to allow
the neck free play. The wing points
of standing collars should have the

Impervious to q joke.

of humor, and was not at home in the
small cut and thrust skiruishes Of
general society. he was made for
serious issues and for great contests.
Of his literalness some amusing anec.
dotes have been told. At an official
ball in Washington he remarked to q
young lady who stood beside him.
I'VE are fortunate in haying these
places for standing here we shall see
the first entrance of the new English
and French ministers into Washington
society"
The young girl replied, 'T am glad
to hear it. I like to see lions break
the ice"
Sumner was silent for q few minu-
tes, but presently said, ''Miss-, in
tne country where lions live there IL
NO ice."
I once invited MIR. Sumner to meet
a distinguished guest at my house.
He replied, 81 do not know that I

Marrary's Pennies.

Little Margery had two whole
pennies Of her very own! Father had
given them to her that very morning,
sss5d uov the question was wEA d
be done with them. Should she buy
a doll? She had seen some very nice
ones in shcp. They had .bve y
cheeks and beautiful brown eyes with
ringlets to match; but, then, even two
whole pennies mightn't be enough to
buy them, for they were real beauties.
Perhaps it would be better to get two
penny tops, and then she could give
Bobby one, and they could have some
fun together with them, or some
chocolates. It really was along time
since she had tasted any-so long
that she almost forgot what they were
like. But chocolate drops would soon
be eaten up, and then there would be
nothing left Of her two pennies.
No. She would not decide too
quickly. She would go down to the
village and have a good look round.
So she put on her hat and ran toward
he.village. Before she had gone very
far she stopped at pond by the road
side to watch some ducks which were
swimming about on the water.
There was & little ailing round this
pond, and Margery climbed on to it,
d I'll an felt in her pockets to see if
she could find some crumbs to give
them: but, Mas, in pulling out her
handkerchief she pulled : out her
pennies, too, and down they fell to.
the bottom Of the pond!
Poor little AIargery! What do you
think she did?
ooh, ery:' you will say. No. She
got down frons :Ie railing and turned
q rather sorrowful face homeward. AS
she went along she said to herself:
"Never mind, Margery. It's better'n
if you had tumbled in instead Of the
pennies"

The Scots Guards Pet.

"ReSimental jack" the Scots
Guards dog, took part in the hottest
fights in the Crimea. , He became the
pet Of the guards in curious fashion.
One cold winters night he was
found by a sentryin St. James Palace
gardens. Some one had been brutally
ill-treating him and had ended by
finging him over the high wall.
IN befriending the poor animal the
sentry left his post, and this derelic-
ton OF duty being discovered he was
placed in the guard room under arrest.
The dog followed his protector, and
on hearing the story the officer was so
touched by the dogs gratitude that
the prisoner was released with the
proverbial caution.
Henpforth Jacks fortunes were to
be bound up with those Of the Scots
Guards.
When the regiment went to the
Crimea he very soon showed the stuff

Baby Monkey in 4 Zoo.

Several weeks ago q monkey was
born at the Philadelphia zoo, and the
whole monkey coIonv fell in love Wi b
it. Different ones shared ia fondliug
and coddling it, and the Guarrels and
knockdowns which occurred in the
efforts of the monkeys to get posses
sion Of it produced some remarkably
ludicrous scenes.
They all seemed to be just as thor.
oughly in love with the little creature
as ever family of girls "ere with an
infant brother. The mother appeared
to realize that they regarded it with
affection, and she undertook TO culti-
vaee this excellent feeling by loaning
it out for others to nurse.
The other morning there was such
an uproar in the monkey house that
the Waterman hastened to the scene
of the disturbance. He found the
army OF monkeys in circle round one
OF their number, chattering and
shrieking, while they clanbered over
one another, rolled about the floor,
and indulged in:pther strange AMI un-
accountable antics. If Bedlam had
been turned loose in the big cage the
confusion could not have been more,
the uproar greater OF the scene more
ludicrous.
For several moments the watchnan
stood, an amused spectator, astonlshed
and bewildered at the strange per-
formance, when suddenly ona Of the
larger of the cunning creatures ad-
vanced to the monkev in the centre.
Seizing the infant, which up to this
time was not observed by the man, the
large monkey gave a big leap and
made off with it. Up the side OF the
cage he ran like squirrel: holding
the bdSryy m a n sa ets6d'eirg with
the other, while fifty more monkeys
with lungs like brass teakettles, fol-
lowed in hot pursuit, with the frenzied
mother, all screaming, chattering or
shrieking to the full extent Of their
vocal capacity. Around and around
the kianapper, who seemed to be the
most agile and heetest on foot Of the
lot, ran, holding his infant charge Sc
cure and protecting it from harm.
Finally the big monkey which had
stolen the precious infant suddenly
turned into the centre of the cage, to
where the mother sat when he grabbed
it from her arms. Stopping abruptly,
he seemed to bid defiance to the pur-
saers, and while they, evidently seized
with fear to approach, collected
about him and chattered as they had
done about the mother, he held it
tenderly t. his bosom in one arm and
strokel it's little body aGectiouately
with the other. Thus ca"cssing it for
a moment, he handed il back to its
glad mother, and there was Joy
through the whole family. y.-Phiadel-

Wanted, Heavier 1sevolrerS,

After the capture Of Suakim it was
alleged N the House OF Commons
that the larces served out were totally
unfit for use, bending directly they
were put to the trial. And now, as
the result Of the experience of the re-
cent campaign, the Mauser revolver is
being severely criticised. Officers de-
clare that in many cases the revolver
was absolutely useless, and rather
than lean on broken reed they pre-
'ferred to discard the pistol altogether,
for it is serious affair to discover
that you have been relying upon a
weapon which is useless for its pur
pose. The same verdict comes from
the northwest frontier Of India. What
seems to be wanted is an effective
''maa-stopping" revolver which will
stand the test of campaign. It is
suggested that too much has been
sacrificed for the sake Of lightness.
OF course, weight is an important
consideration, but officers would net
mind a little heavier pistol provided
it was additionally reliable. Naval
