Gold In tho Philippines.

It is said that there is not a stream
rising in the mountains Of Luzon-
and the same is true of other islands
Of the Philippine group-which has
not its golu bearing sands. The allu-
vial deposits Of the precious metal
have been garnered for many years,
bit no thorough explanation for gold
at its sources in the mountains has
ever been made, because the Spaniards
were unable to conquer the tribes in
habiting the interior regions. Some
OF these tribes are said o.look upon
the digging up Of the earth as a sac
rilege, and they will not seek gold in
that way, nor permit others to do 1t,
last the WRATH Of the gods should grow
hot against them.

The following poem by Alfred Austin.
the poet laureate OF England is published
under the title OF "lniexiblo as Fate:"
When for a passing hour Rome's manly
sway
Felt the sharp shock OF Cannae's adverse
Forum and field and senate house were
rent
with cries OF nor missiving nor iament;
Only OF men c~ontending men who should
Purchase the spot on which the victor
stood.
Legion on legion sprang up from the
ground,
Cleaned through the land, then over
ocean wound.
TIL scipio's eagles swarmed OF Afric
shore.
And Carthage persisted. to insult no more.
Not less. resolved h Rome now Eng
land stands,
Facing foul fortune with unfalterins
hands;
Through her vast realm is neither fear
nor feud,
But, calmed in strength and steeled in
fortitude,
She nils the gaps OF death with eager
That viii not lag nor haggle in the strife,
Till, having backward rolled the lawless
tide
OF trusted treason, tyranny and pride,
Her flag hath brought, infiexible as fate,
Charter OF freedom to a fettered state.

Is the Pacific slope Drying u,2

Two writer's in the National Geo
graphic Magazine, Messrs. Garrett and
Iceberg, offer evidence that there is a
progressive drying of the climate on
the Pacific coast. At no very remote
period some of the arid plains of east
ern Oregon were evidently covered
with forests Of trees resembling ex-
listing species nearer the coast. Mr..
Garrett thinks that with the clearing
away of the present forests, the end
Of the redwood as a source Of lumber
will be at hand, because existing con
ditions do not favor its growth.

An Italian court recently, after a
trial, ordered the removal of some
wooden yachts, whose bottoms were
sheathed with copper, from the neigh
borhood OF iron warships anchored in
the harbor Of Leghorn. It was al

established through the ships cables
whereby the copper-bottomed war

A Cats Private Travelling Carriage
Cats are not great travellers, as a
rule, nor are they very much at home
in strange hotels, but one Of which
Christian Work tells a story was an
exception. A lady walked into the
coffee-room of a hotel, dressed In trav-
cling costume, and carrying a cape
Of plaid cloth, which she hung over
the chair next to her, disposing of 1t
with some care. When she had or
dered breakfast, andwas waiting to be
served, she heard a succession Of ex-
carnations: "Ohl oh! what a beauty"
The lady turned a hasty glance to-
ward the ehaivsat side. There sat
a big white Angoi& cat, gracefully
viewing the situation. 20 Bismarck.
you silly catl" she exclaimed, as the
head-waiter appeared with a look on
his face that BODIED no good to the cat.
Il must put him out. madam" he said,
with the assurance that belongs to
head-waiters. But the lady clicked her
fingers, and the cat disappeared. Every
eye had been upon him, but nobody
had seen him go. The waiter looked
on the chair and under it, but the cat
had vanished. It was not until the
lady had finished her breakfast, and
was leaving the table with her travel
ing cloak thrown e her arm, that
the mystery Of the animals presence
was explained, and pussy's head was
allowed to peep from a capacious in
side pocket Of the cape. "He has traV-
eled in that pocket for hundreds Of
miles, and this is the first time he has
shown himself" said his mistress.
HE will not purr for fear Of being
found. But he is nearing his journeys
end now, and is getting tired. This
cape is his exclusive property, and the
pocket his private travelling carriage
