started one Of the flower gatherers ran
and caught up, but the other lady was
very busy gathering fiowers-and talking
and did not realize that she was being
left. Finally she turned, and seeing the
ooudltiou Of affairs, started up hill on q
dead run. A couple Of men were plowing
near the roadside, and they had a couple

City Without Wrapping Paper.

Such thing as the delivery of goods
from retail stores is unknown in Manila,
and even wrapping them up to becarried
by the purchaser is not considered nee
essity.
II one goes into a tobacconst's for a
box of cigars, it is handed to him over
the counter unwrapped. II he, by panto'

gence that he desires the purchase
wrapped up a search is instituted for a
piece of newspaper, and if this be found,
the box is enveloped in it and handed to
him with courtly bow, but without
string.
a few bakery wagons may be seen
going from house to house, and ice carts
and soda water carts, but beyond these,
regular delivery vehicles are unknown.
Nor is the early morning made melo-
dious by the catter Of milk wagons.
Genuine cows milk is a scarce article
there. The water buffalo supplies most
of the milk used a snowwhite liquid
containing little cream and having a
high flavor none too pleasant to the
American palate. There are few Aus.
tralian cattle kept in the suburbs of Ma
nilia, apparently of Durham and Devon
extraction, but their milk is liquid gold
in comparison with the other.
Instead OF milk, bare-legged milkmer

An Anecdote of One of the Original
"NeW Women"

Justin Mccarthy, in his "reminiscences,
published by Harper & Brothers, relates
The following anecdote of an ardent
champion of "woman's rights"
II can only say writes Mr.. Mccarthy
chat by far the majority OF the women
whom ! knew as leading opponents OF
the movement were women OF high char-
acter and education, women OF intelll-
gence and experience, of gentle deport'
ment and graceful manners, women quail
fled to bear high place and to exert
commanding influence in the civilization
of any country.

there were not good many advocates
OF the cause in America whose appear
ance and ways might have been tempt.
ing to the pen OF the satirist or the pencil
OF the caricaturist. can recall to men,
orv one such woman OF whom never
heard anything that was not good, but
OF whom may fairly say that IL some
artist on the staff of Punch had been
asked to make a drawing OF the type
'Womans Rights Woman OF America,
he would without further suggestion
have produced from mis- own Inauguration
very fair likeness of the lady whom |
have in my mind. remember that my
wife and / once happened to be travelling
companions with this lady in the rail
way from New York to Chicago. The
fair creature Of whom | was speaking
was preparing to get into her berth, and
while doing so was discoursing to us on
the social position of women. i am not
one of those, she said, in her kindly di-
dactic manner who would deny to
women the right to make herself pleasing
to man; | am not one of those who
would forbid to women the indulgence in
any of the pretty, harmless Alterations
which are common to her sex; and here
with the utmost absence OF any pretty
afIectation, she removed the greater por
ton of her hair and hung it on hook
above her head, and then proceeded to
draw on a heavily friled nightcap."

Relations with Spain.

Nothing would seem to stand in the
way of the early resumption of very cor
dial relations between the United States
and Spain. The last instalment of the
$20,000,000 Philippine indemnity has
been duly paid over by our Government.
Spaniards and Spanish interests in Cuba
are looking to the United States for JUS
tce and fair play, with full sense OF
security and with no ill-teeling whatever.
Among the good results of the war and
the peace treaty must be mentioned the
wiping out of all claims on the part OF
the citizens and government of the one
country against the other arising out OF
the circumstances of the Cuban war OF
rebellion. Thus Spain is debarred from
making any claims against the United
States on the score of iilibustering and
the fitting out Of unlawful expeditions
analogous to our Alabama claims against
| England. American citizan ms who owned
property in Cuba will not, on the other
hand, bring claims against Spain for
losses incurred by them in the period OF
the Instruction. The war liquidated all
old scores, aud the United States and
Spain begin their new account on clean
slate. AS victors, the American people
have no possible ground for cherishing
any grudges; and Spaniards cannot
afford to indulge any permanent ill-will
The Spanish press has for the most part
entirely dropped the subject of war, al
though Uncle Sans tribulations i'll the
Philippines form the theme of an occa
sional sarcastic paragraph or jeering car

The Conscience Fund.

"God knows the donor and his SIM
was the line accompanying note ad.
dressed to the treasurer OF the United
States at Washington and containing
three crisp $1,000 bills. The money was
turned into the conscience fund"
1t is not generally known that such
fund exists; yet although it is not very
important, it is regular source for the
government. 1t is supplied by certain
class of people abnormally honest. A
man whose ideas of the nicetles OF con-
science amount to insanity decides that
in some manner or other he was de-
frauded Uncle Sam. He Immediately ill.,
closes the amout in an envelope and
sends it to the treasury. The excuses
given and the manners of signing are
humorous in the extreme. Yet it is evil
dent that the contributors are in sober
earnest.
1t has been calculated that if this dis
ease should become epidemic the amount
on hand in the treasury would exceed the
output by some $4,000, 100000 pei
annum. A man who will do the govern
ment full and exact justice is so exceed
ingly scarce that the above members o
the conscience fund are looked upon al
little less than lunatics.-[ Cincinnati En-

Seeing Stars in Daytime.

The phenomenon of people seeing stars
in the daytime is not at all an unusual
one, says the Westminster Gazette. AS
a rule, however the circumstances under
which these heavenly bodies become visi-
BILE by daylight are not of the sort which
make the sight OF them desirable. But
to see rainbow at midnight, and under
conditions which leave nothing to be
desired, is a much rarer occurrence. 1t
was witnessed few nights ago in Swift
zerland. The moon was shining in a
brilliantly clear sky, and round it spread
circle, in which all the colors of the
rainbow cleaned And any loyal and
literary Switzer witnessing the phenom-
enon might well be proud of seeing Unreal
life the strange and wondrous token, "
which, so Schiller says, shone on the
night when Tell and his friends swore
the great oath on the Ruth, a thousand
years ago.

Hypnotized by a Headlight.

The use of electric headlights by some
of the engines of the Santa Fe, Prescott
and Phoenix railway in Arizona enables
the engineers to see some strange things;
Wild animals are said to be hypnotized
by the bright lights, and standing trans;
fixed to the track, in some cases until
struck by the engines. Engineer Deit-
weller is out with tale OF an immense
mountain lion that stood looking into
the beam until almost struck by the
pilot. Engineer Barth's experiences in
this line include running down wildcat,
which had been light-hypnotized. He Sc,
cured the skin, and exhibits it as proof OF
his story of hunting Tor wild game with
an engine.

Ants Eat Greenbacks.

Paper morey cannot be used in the
Philippines, for there is variety OF ants
in the islands which eat almost every
thing and are particularly fond of paper.
In a recent shipment Of money for the
troops was 81, 100000 in paper money
of small denominations. Preparations
were being made to send more paper in
the next shipment when a warning was
given that hereafter nothing but gold
and silver coin must be sent to the
islands. 1t was stated that ants got
into the boxes and attacked the packages
OF bills, which were saved from destruc
ton only by the greatest care.
As far as officials at Washington know
none of the money was actually de
stroyed, the damage done being proba
bly, no more serious than the eating
away of the edges of notes or perhaps
making holes through some of them.

PAPER Collars.

Two paper collar plants are still run
ming in this country, one in New York
and the other in Boston, and their an
nual output is from 2o,ooo,ooo to 25!,-
1000 collars. The demand for their
products is distributed impartially,
among the states, railroad towns and
mining districts supplying the largest
number of consumers. In several towns
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, paper
collars are the only kind sold, it is SAID.
Canada still continues to use the articles
in quantity, and in Nova Scotia and
Prince Edwards Island as many paper
collars are worn now as during the Hush
times of the sixties. The South Ameri-
can countries are also good customers OF
the paper collar manufacturers, although
their present consumption is nothing ike
that OF thirty years ago.
