Secretary of the Navy Long Finds nm Easy Way Out of n TanEIe
 of Red Tnpe.

There are many stories told about the manner in which secretaries in the diff ferent departments are hampered by what is known as regulations. law and general red tape. An instance Of this occurred the other day in the navy de- partment. A case had been presented to Secretary Lcng concerning an en- listed man who went into the navy as a sailor at the beginning of the war, but as there did not seem to be any near prospect of further fighting the man wanted to return to his family and his old occupation.
 To the secretary it was meritorious case, and he decided to issue a discharge for the man. He called in an officer from the navigation bureau and made known his wishes. Ut can't be done, MT. Secretary" said the officer. "A sailor cannot be discharged except for cause" The secretary sent for the chief of the navigation bureau. 'I want to have this man discharged from the navy" he announced. The chief knit his brows and replied: ''Mr. Secretary, the law and regulations are very strict; a, man cannot be discharged from the navy except for cause"
 Thesecretary was not yet satisfied, and requested the attendance of the judge advocate general, the law officer of the department. ''Is there-any way in which a man may be discharged from the navy?' asked the secretary. ''Oh, yes,' answered the lawyer; "any man can be discharged for cause" Not other wise?" asked the secretary. q am 9n fa T 'Well." answered the judge advocate, the law says a man cannot be dis charged from the navy except for cause, and the reason stated in his discharge" The secretary looked at the officer for moment and then said, with twinkle in his eye: Make out this mans dis charge" and added, after slight hesi- tation, 'because it rained yesterday morning" The man has received his discharge.-Washington Star.

THE FILIPINOS.
A Correspondent Describes Them as an Industrious and Thrifty
 People.

No one who has gone 125 miles through the rich uplands and valleys of Luzon and seen the results of thrift and industry on all sides can consistent ly call the native Filipinos a lazy and worthless lot. Their movements are moderate, and they take time for the enjoyment of their simple pastimes, like all tropical races, but they keep everlastingly at it from sunrise until dark In many of the provinces the title to the land is in the name of the church, for every pretty village is over shadowed by d great, white-walled ca thedral or monastry, and the tribute these oPPressors have levied upon the ong-suffering natives has made them a "hand-to-mouth" race, who fully re- alized that any surplus, hoarded or any evidence of prosperity would bring

ing resemblance to one another, bur
 have in common many tastes, one o1
 which is a remarkable fondness fol
 raw oysters, upon which circumstance
 hangs tale. Near he hotel is a small
 oyster bar of the usual sort. and on the
 morning of their arrival enc of the
 brothers observed the establishment and immediately hungered for bivalves.
 In less time than it takes to tell it he
 was standing at the counter, and before l he left he had put away a couple of | dozen on the deep-shell. Re Retu,ming to l the hotel, he encountered his brother and warmly recommended the place. | The latter lost no time in rushing l across.
 "Here!" he said, gimme three dozen like you just served
 Holy smolle!" gasped the opener. and proceeded to serve the order, which was swiftly disposed of. In the course of an hour the first brother happened 10 be passing, and couldn't resist the temptation of dropping in. That time he devoured an even 30, and while the oyster opener was wondering what kind of a. bonanza he had struck the other N1SllO1 AOdH DScA4CO anu NIA t%1S SNOiN up to 62. That ended the continuous performance act until evening, when brother No. 1 rushed in, hungry as wolf, and told the opener to start in and keep it up until he called time.
 ''I'll bet he comes right back" said the man behind the counter, when his patron had departed with record of 39. "If you turn him loose in Bayou creek he'd clean it out in q week.
 The words had scarcely passed his lips when, brother No. 2 pushed through the swinging doors and hoppod blithe- iy on a stool. I'm starving to Geath!" he shouted; 'push out some oysters, double-quicll time!"
 "Great snakes!" said the opener, in an awed tone. "How many do you want?''
 ''Oh, 40 or 50. Shove 'em right along till I holler stop"
 The oyster man was kept busy until the count reached 46, and when the wis itor went out he was unable to find words to express his feelings. The eli max, however, was yet to come. The first brother, on returning to the hotel, had met an old friend, who presently that he was on his way to get bite to eat.
 ''Well, come over and have some oysters" said the other; 'they are de- Iicious. I've just eaten a few, but I'll { join you in another dozen.'
 When the pair walked in the opener , came near having fit. Suffering alli> gators!" he whispered to the bar boy, here he comes again! Ain't there no way of fillin' him up?"
 The visitors left a large stock of ,mpty shells, and before retiring the other brother dropped in again for a ate snack. He was served in aAvesome silence, and as it so happened that both gentlemen took ether quarters next day he exact facts have not yet leaked out.

VANISHING ISLAND.
Has Been Annexed Twice, But Is a Coy Piece of Land and Ere
 QuentIy Disappears.

Out in the Pacific is a strip of land which has a will of it's own and will not undergo allegiance to any power. They call it Falcon island, says the New York World. Our old friend, John Bull, always on the watch to increase his empire, was the first to encounter it. In 1889 the British corvette Egeria noted prominent island in the South sea. Palm trees were growing on it's southern extremity, a commanding bluff, rising 15O feet above the sea.
 In landing the commander was struck with the beauty of the island. It was

down an extra tax upon their heads Half the product of their labors has al
 ways gone to the friurs and the other
 half has usually been discounted fo1
 petty necessities before their crops ripened. So they have plodded or
 year after year, tie debt of the previous
 season standing mortgage against the
 labor of the next.
 The power and abuse in the name o1 lthe church are the monsters that have
 stretched their taIons over the op-
 pressed Filipinos for centuries. Every
 aspiring ambition has been discour-
 aged; every attempt at the improve
 ment of their highways, which can hardly be dignifed by the name of lanes such as run to the back lots of American farms, and every effort at or
 ganization or the diffusion of inteIli-
 gence has met with speedy and eff fective opposition. With half chance the Tagal will make an industrious and skillful workman in occupations other than agricultural.
 The Manila 6 Dagupin railroad is op- erated by natives. They run the en- zines, build the cars, act as conductors. brakemen, station masters, and in, the general offices at Manila many of them act as clerks and accountants keeping Idouble-entry books, operating the typewriter, telegraphing, and, in fact, doing everything that is required ;n railroading. In the shops at Caloocan all the workmen are natives. They re- build the engines, make boilers, do fine lathework and handle steam hammers and all kinds of improved machinery satisfactorily and effectively. At Cavite, in the shipyards, have seen the native building launches. repairing ships in dry dock and operating in wood and iron to the entire satisfaction of the American naval constructors and engineers. In Manila I have seen him building houses, erecting masonry, paving streets, making cigars and cigarettes, operating street car lines, working in iron, copper, brass and sil- yer and engaged ih every department of industry. In the Manila observatory l have seen him working over scientific instruments. computing delicate Obser- vations in meteorological, seismic, as tronomical and magnetic registration, where education and skillful intelli- gence are required. I have seen him as schoolmaster; as a cure; as nav igator; as a storekeeper; as surveyors; as a shipowner. There is no depart ment of life where labor, brains or skill is required that the native cannot compete successfully. Encourage him, govern him and give him the reward of his labor and he will develop into an American citizen of whom Uncle Sam will be justly proud.-Leslie's Weekly.
