THE STAY AT HOME.

There's dress an hood to buy FIR Jane,
A pair O. pants FIR John,

But baby Nan, the stay at home,

That all on earth she has to wear
Is ole made over clothes.
There's books to to buy FIR them at school
1t makes a pore man sick
To hear 'em holler ''joggafy"
An mental 'rithmetic.''
But, thank the Lord, the stay at home
Is mighty hard to please
Jis' gifts the family almanac
An reads it on her knees.
An writin books an DRAWN books
They never seem to think
How much it costs to buy SIGH truck
An pencils, pens an ink.
But little Nan, the stay at home,
She knows her daddy's pore
Jis' gifts charcoal pen an writes
Her lesson on the floor.
There's boots to buy FIR Buster Dill,
An boots to buy FIR John,
An shoes FIR Jane an ma an /,
Till all my moneys gone.
So Nan, the last, the stay at home,
Is left to do without
Jis' wears her homemade moccasins
An crows an crawls about.
Pears like that all | rake an scrape
Won't hardly satisfy
The pressin needs O. Bill an John
An Jane an ma an l.
But baby Nan, the stay at home,

Jis' cuddles up in daddy's arms
An never wants a cent.

TRUTH AND A TRUNK.
Look Out For Baggage if Woman
Tells You 1t Isn't Heavy.


know woman who travels around
the country with a trunk as big as
house. Protests of husband and friends
are Of no avail, and it seems to me the
case is a perfectly proper one for the
Anticruelty society. When l mention
ed this to the lady with the trunk, she
said, "But they are only to look after
children and animals"
perhaps they can twist their con-
stitution to get the baggageman under
the head Of animals and prosecute
you"
She did not appear at all discom-
posed. The last time she went away
l Groaned for the expressman. The
house was in an awful turmoil, and
the trunk was on the third floor
cts not very heavy" l heard her
say. At the remark the expressman
Immediately called his helper from
the wagon. Il always know what that
MEANS" he said, with a knowing nod
to the maid. When he got up stairs,
he could hardly lift one end. 'Never
failed" he said. ''When they say it's
light, it's dead sure to be heavy. They
don't mean it, but they can't tell the
truth about a trunk. l don't know
whether they think we don't know
about weight, Or We'll charge them less
if they say it's light, or what, but we
always look out for the trunk that's
called light" Then he and his helper
tugged and pulled and damned holes
in the wall as they went down stairs

Lizards That Grow New Eyes,

The tuatara lizard Of New Zealand is
said to be one Of the most ancient forms
Of animal life now existing. It original
ly possessed four eyes but now has to
be cOntented with but two. It lays eggs,
and these take no less than Is months
20 hatch out, the embryos passing the
winter in a state of Information.
These remarkable animals are found
only in one or two places in the colony,
and they are rapidly becoming scarce,
as collectors from every part of the
world are continually on their track.
They are about Is inches in length, and,
like many of the lizards, are said to
have the characteristic Of being able to
replace portions of their limbs, etc,
which have been destroyed. One owned
by Mr. Carl Hansen Of Awanui had the
misfortune to lose an eye some time ago,
and now complete new eye, as perfect
as the unchanged one, has grown i'll
the place of that lost,
While the eye was developing the
lizard seemed to be no more incOnven-
fenced than a human being is in the
growing CT finger nails or hair.

MaIaria's Victims.

Major Ross said in a recent lecture
at Liverpool that malaria was not so
dramatic q disease as cholera; it did
not kill SO quickly, but it killed far
more people. In India it killed about
100000 people a year.. It was also
a politically important disease, because
it checked the progress of civilization

a Long Dog.

5 .crjiy living on Park avenue, Wal
nut Mills, was recently presented with a
full blo0ded imported dachshund, liv-
ing exempLifcation of the saying,
'Man wants but little here below, but
he wants that little long" This dog in
particular has all the fine points Of a
true dachshund. It's length is at least
four times it's height and its legs are
stumpy and have the conventional crook
of a golf stick at the foot. The lady
has several other dogs and is quite a
fancier of CANNES. The other evening a
gentleman called who had heard great
deal of the celebrated animal AS he
entered the darkened parlOr a small
yellow dog of no particular breed arose
from rug in front of the CRATE and,
unnoticed by the gentleman, slowly
walked toward the door. The dog
crossed half way over the threshold and
stood in such a position that person
in the parlcr could just see it's hind
legs and tail. At that moment the maid
lighted the gas, and the dachshund
poked its head inquiringly through an
other open door. The gentleman gazed
in amazement at the head Of the dachs'
hund peering at him from one doorway
and the headquarters Of another dog
visible in the other doorway, and then
in the hearing of the servant calculated
''Lord Almighty! l heard that this
dachshund Of hers was a long one, but
this animal certainly beats my time!"

FIowery Weather Predictions of the

Journalists of Long Ago.
In these days Of practical newspa-
per writing, in which bald facts are
expressed in the plainest and tersest
form, the fowery language INDUCED
in by some Of the journalists" half a
century ago sounds peculiar. The
following poetic CONFUSION was copied
by one Of the local papers from the
New York Tribune in 1S40 as worthy
of a high place in the newspaper lit
erature Of the day:
ION Saturday evening at II minutes
past II o'clock the sun rode calmly
and mildly over the autumnal equinox
and cast his golden anchor on the win
try coast of autumn. But as yet the
vast ocean of air through which he
sails is glowing and transparent with
the memory of the long summer days
that have passed over it; darting their
rich beams to it's very depths. Even
as we write, however, the remem-
brance fades, like the skys blanching
souvenirs of sunset, and in the dis
lance the cold ghosts of winter glare
and wave their frozen wings, which
creak on icy hinges, while in the 81
lence of midnight a prophetic voice of
wailing and desolation means fitfully
at the easement"

Why Dewey Needs a Large Number
of GunboatS.

New York, March Ga dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: The
necessity of suppressing filibustering
expeditions is the cause of Admiral
Dewey asking that the department
send him more vessels of light draught
On account of the number of Philip
pine islands, the natives are able to
transport from the Asiatic coast a
large quantity of munitions of war in
small schoOners. Admiral Dewey wants
a large number of warships at his dis
posal which can follow such vessels
into shallow water. The Wheeling has
already started for Manila, and the
Vixen will go by the last of the month.
The department may send others.
The authorities were glad to hear
that General Lawton would arrive at
Manila about March 10, as ne will then
be put in control of the military opera
tions, thus giving General Otis an op-
portunity to aid in the Philippine COM
mission, as we'll as take care of the
many questions constantly arising
After General Liswtons arrival, one Of
the brigadier generals at Manila will
probably be sent to Iloilo to relieve
General Miller, who will go on the re-
tired list on March q.

Activity of Rebels.

Activity of Rebels.
Manila, March 6.-The civil members
of the United States Philippine COM
mission who arrived here on Saturday
afternoon from Hongkong on the
United States cruiser Baltimore, landed
today and are now installed in quar-
ters especially provided for them on
the Malate water front. While await
ing the arrival of Colonel Charles Den
by, formerly United States minister to
China, the other civil members of the
commission, they will devote their time
to sight, seeing and getting familiar
with local conditions. Until Colonel
DENLY arrives the commission will be
incomplete and can do nothing Off
cially.
The troops which arrived on Saturday
on the United States transport Senator,
and those that arrived yesterday on the
transport Ohio, are disembarking, and
all the preparations are being made to
proceed with an aggressive campaign
before the wet season sets in.
The rebels, anticipating the AmeT1-
can advance, are busy in throwing up
defenses in every direction, and it is
reported that they are levying men and
supplies in every province. As a result
great dissatisfaction prevails among
the tribes ordinarily unfriendly to the
TagaIos, particularly among the Flo
canos, who assert their desire to assist
in conquering the Tagalos if furnished
with arms.
The following order has been issued
regarding the movements of trans
ports:
The Arizona will sail for San Fran
cisco via Hongkong with all the sick
on March 8, the Newport, via Naga-
saki, Japan, with all the returning Off
GERS and their wives, on March 10; the
Scandia, via Nagasaki with discharged
soldiers, on March II, and the Morgan
