Samoan Gentleness in War.

War is savage in its "ery nature, and one looks for war among savages to be peculiarly barbarous. Th~s such is not always the case among the peo- pie of Samoa Is attested by letter sent from Samoa by an American gen. tlema7 who recently visited Apia, and who gives a description of Mataafaa army in camp after battle between the rival claimants to the throne:
 We went all about among the huts where the sayages were resting after the battle and making preparations for the next fight. It was very peaceful scene, for their arms were all conceal ed under the mats, where the men sat, and many of the soldiers were accom- panied by their wives and children. They were amusing themselves by smoking and beating tom-toms.
 "The Samoans are a most amiable race of sayages, and white people are always perfectly safe among them Everywhere we are greeted with smiles and friendly mods and the salutatioa 'Talofa, which means Love to you from men, women and children.
 "One instance of their friendly feel ing occurred during the big battle. A white man, wAo lived In the street where they were fighting, saw that two of his horses had strayed out be- tween the hostile lines. He did not want to lose them, and he did not wan: to venture out in the line of fire. So he stuck a white flag out of his win dow. Upon seeing it, both chiefs or dered their men to stop firing and hos tilities were suspended while tho white man went out and drove his hofse es tc a place of shelter. Then the combat ants went at 1t again"

Rats as a Diet.

That the Chinese consider rats de- sirable as a diet is we'll known, but the reason is not familiar A China man is quoted as saying: What ear- rot is to a horses coat a rat is to the human hair Neither fact can be ex- plained, but every horseman knows that a regimen cf carrots will make his stud smooth and lustrous as vel vet, and the Chinese, especially the women, know that rats used as food will stop the falling out of hair and make the locks soft, silky and beau tiful I have seen it tried many times.

EARNED BY DOCTORS.


 The large personal estate, some st.- s95.000, left by the late Sir William Jenner of London. makes 1t interesting ID recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos of recent times in England.
 Dr. Thomas Armitage left over $1,- 000,000, but the bulk of this was eer- tainly not professional earnings; Dr, Paul of CamberweR amassed over S500,00 but he owned one, if not two, lucrative private lunatic asylums.
 The next largest personally to Sir ". Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1890, leaving $1,720,- no behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, a large proportion of which for a long series of years had been excellently invested.
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there is a large falling off in the amount, $1034 465. Sir An drew sank good round sum in real estate. Another big fortuna was Sir Oscar Clayton's, about $735, ,000, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich ard Quain's, about $585,000.
 Sir William Bowman, the ocu1ist, Sir Prescott Hewett. Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were we'll under the $5o0,000 mark. There has been specul- latiop as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned; $l5,000 or $20000 year is a big income for professional man, but at one time Sir William Gull's professional fees most certainly averaged $1, 900 a week, if not more, while Sir Andrew lClarks talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over $l,500 for every six working days. There are prizes in the medical pro fessiGn, without a doubt.

First tn AralolOs.

James I. Corkhill of company E, Kansas 20th regiment. writes to the Alan (Kss) Enterprise this account of how it happened that the faS of the 20th Kansas was the first to float over Malolos, the insurgen* capital:
 We were halted in the shade just outside the city when Col. funston came ga!loping down the line and told our commander that the general want ed 8 few men to advance ahead of the lines to reconnodter. Lieut.. ball and sixteen men from company E were chosen, your correspondent happening to be one of the lucky number We cautiously advanced into the outskirts of tho town and wended our way up Main street (although we didn't then know it was Main stree0 keeping as much as possible under cover of the bamboo shaeks. We soon discovered that the negroes had breastWorks thrown across the street and in front of the large Catholic church. Almost at the same time they saw us and a yolley Of Mausers flew over our heads.
 We'll said Col Funston, that's all the general wanted to know. but after he held It4ele eonfab wiln IAo4 Ball they decided on closer acquaintance with our dusky friends. It's a little risky, but I think we can do it, said Col Funston. Come on, boys, lets get them out of there
 "So away we went, up the street like whirlwind, yelling and shooting and making racket enough to scare a whole army. Little Col. Funston. with his revolver in one hand, was waving his hat in the other and yelling: Give 1t to them, boys Give it to them!' I guess the negroes thought that his satanic majesty was indeed after them or that tiz whole American army was upon them, for, after firing couple of volleys at us, they turned and ran as never saw any one run before. On through the public square we chased them and clear to the other side of the town.
 Thus it was that sixteen Kansas boys. led by our brave colonel and a daring second lieutenant, drove the in- sargents out of their capital city.
 An hour later, when we returned, we found that the army had poured in and filled the town and our regiment was sitting Tn the shade of Aguinaldo's doorstep. Fsfore leaving the insur- gents t..d :, .cceeded In setting fire to the large church, which was now in flames Mary of the Chinese remained in the town and when our little squad dashed into the public square it was amusing to see the 'CheRomen' crawl ing out of windows and cellars and from under bridges, each carrying 3 little white flag and shouting: 'Amegol Amegc! Cheno much amego!"

 Ills Memory.

''I tell you MT. Billus was saying there is nothing like bunch of keys to develop ones memory. Now I have twentyseven keys on this ring, and add a new one every few days, yet I am never at moments loss to select the right one when I have occasion to use It."
