TAGAL As SERVANT AND SOLDIER.
observations of Capt. Frost-FiIipinO
elligence-MiIitary Resources.

From the New York Post.
Washington, Oct 26.-Chatting about
conditions in the Philippines, Capt A. S.
Frost late colonel of South Dakota Vol
unteers, said to your correspondent:
ITO show the intelligence and general
dissemination of education among the Ia
gals I might mention that the valet or
servant, whom I hired for Sc a month,
could read and write Spanish very well
Besides, he was anxious to learn, and
would take my Spanish English dictionary
and make up copy exercises which he
would write out neatly and bring 10 me
for correction When I was there, plenty
of these native servants could be had for
Sc a month, all abe to read aud write.
Since then the cost of living has gone up,
and it is necessary to pay SIP a month for
a servant"
Asked as TO the resources at command
of the revolutionists, Capt. Frost said:
Measured by the needs of an army like
ours or the armies of the civilized coun-
tries, they have no great resources But
measured by the needs of the Filipinos
and their methods of campaigning, their
resources are practically unlimited. The
Filipino soldier does not need anything to
speak of. Take his equipment; for a can
teen he cuts a section of bamboo, inserts
a plug in one end, and attaches bit of
rope which he sings over his shoulder;
his cartridges he carries in little bag,
and with his ride he is heady for bust
ness. His food, which is rice, he finds in
abundance almost anywhere he goes. In
every shack he enters there is a sort of
bowl male from a stump followed out at
the top. and near it little club which
is used as a pestle He takes the I'M
hulled rice right from the fields, puts it
into this mortar pokes it around a bit,
losses it into the air to get out the chaff,
and he has handfull of rice for his meal.
He does not have to carry his provisions.
There are no Filipino meat or vegetable
rations. such as our army has. 1t is
unnecessary TO establish a base of sup
plies or keep up supply train. The
Filipino feeds as he goes, like an animal.
zone of the principal difficulties which
Gen. Otis has had to encounter is keeping
up communication with supply bases. Up
to this time he has not had mules or
horses enough for this purpose, and this
has necessitated abandoning many places
soon after they were captured"

The MnIIs OF RabyIon.

Recent archaeological discoveries made
under the auspices of the German Oriental
Society show that the assertions of ancient
writer's about the enormous width of the
walls of Babylon were not exaggerated.
Saws Bibia, September: In No. OF the
Nfttheilungen of the German Orientgessell-
scbaft the leader of the Babylonlan eXpe-
dition sent out by the society Dr. X. kol-
dewey. describes the first fruits Of that en-
terprise. and presents data which make it
possible. for the first time in more than
Q 900 wears. to test the correctness of the
claims nut forth by HerOdotus and Dlodo-
rus to the effect tina the wall OF the city
Of Babvlon was so wide that several char
lots could drive upon It side by side. The
German expedition has begun its work by
digging a wide trench directly into the
heart of the great Kasr mound from the
east and has made it possible to measure
the famous wall. This gigantic bulwark
consists Of an outer wall rs meters "a
feeN in thickness, built of burnt brick
bearing the stamp or IMPRESS Of Nebuchad-
nezzar, and an immense wall ID 10 meters
(43 feeD thick, while the filling between the
two Is els meters al feeD, making the
enormous total of Il. IS meters O38 feeD.
As vet. the diggers have penetrated only
II meters CSC feeD into this mountain OF
ruins. but it Is thought that now the pal
ace walls themselves have been reached
The society proposes to expend as much
as 100000 marks per annum for the next
five years. at least in this undertaking. y

Snakes have the sense of smell. 1t is
difficult to obtain food for the rattle
snakes and copperheads out at the ZOO
logical park. The keeper has been try
ing them on the house rats and mice he
has caught about the building. He
would leave them in the snake cage over
night and through the day. They would
run ever the snakes with impunity.
The snakes world pay no attention to
them, but when ne happened to secure
some field mice and put them in the
cage the snakes ate them at once. He
put in several rats and mice of the or
binary house variety that We're living
out of doors under the sidewalk. and
these We're seized by the snakes almost
as readily as the wild species.
The keeper then conceived the idea of
making an earth box to keep the rats in
for awhile before feeding, and he found
that if they Were put in there for II
hours or SO before they We're given to
the snakes they would be eaten. The
only apparent explanation is that the
smell of the earth is agreeable to the
snakes, and that the smell which the
animals acquire about buildings is OBJ
jectionable. Chicago Record.
