tured and hacked to pieces; two men OF
the l4th Inf. who were wounded, were
treated in the same manner when their
company was pushed back in an attempt
to flank. They were made to believe by
their leaders that we would treat them
the same way. In fact, they were sworn
to kill every American, as their osths
we're found. Before the battle they
would tell us that our Springfield bullets
were only "chow chow" something to
eat meaning they were soft and that
when they struck they would spread out
instead of penetrating. We made them
eat them all right but they failed to di-
zest them and died in the act. The
priests gave them small crucifixes and
told them they could not be hit when
they wore them. They claim we did not
fight fair because, instead of staying in
our places on the firing line, We ran for
ward and lodged the bullets.
My letter was interrupted as l was
obliged to go on guard yesterday, 30 will
tell you some more. As soon as daylight
came Sunday, every native horse and rig
that could be gotten was seized by the
Americans and confiscated. The boys of
Co. were not slow in taking advantage
of it either, and in a short time We had
enough to start a small livery stable.
The Mausers had no more than ceased
coming when the boys began foraging.

whom we make do all the work. As a
rule they work very willingly. The
country in the vicinity of our quarters is
quite pretty; all sorts of vegetables are
growing in the fields. 1t is quite healthy
here, so much more 80 than in our old
quarters. Our quarters face the Pasig

than any other company in the Regt.,
but Co. A had the most wounded. Next
to the I4th Inf. the Washington regiment
lost more men than any other regiment
in the battle. 80 you can see we were un.
der pretty warm fire. Gen. King
praised our Regt. very highly for our
part. The officers were all very cool and
never seemed bit excited or scared and
it was the same with all the men did
not see one who would finch a bit when
ordered to do something. Several of the
boys had pretty narrow escapes, but it is
the same in all battles. The insurgents
have now retreated to their Notifications

bit our regiment may not, as we are

cheek under my left eye. 1t only drew a
drop or two of blood and didn't notce
it until all was over.
Saturday evening We moved out in the
vicinity of Block House 10. About 8 p.
m. we heard noise which sounded like
a lot of small fire-crackers. We paid no
attention to it at first, thinking it was
Cinnamon celebrating. Presently a can
non was fred and we knew that at last
we were going to smell powder. The
popping noise we heard was that OF the
Mausers. Soon the louder crack of tn e
Springfield was heard, the exchange of
intervals throughout the night firing
could be heard, and at 8 o'clock in the
morning an insurgent was shot near No.
IL, by an American officer. Immediately
the insurgents opened fire on us and we

me at first. We were led across several
rice fields and through some brush out
into another rice field and deployed as
skirmishers, behind a large dyke. The
insurgents we're situated in building
with high stone wall around it. Here
We poured in large number of volleys,
but could only fire in the direction OF tn g
flashes of the enemy's guns. AS soon
as we had fired the bullets began to come
our way, striking the dixie and scatter ing
the ground in great shape. EVERYBODY
seemed cool as cucumber, laughing and
joking as the bullets whistled over us.
An insurgent battery OF two Krupp guns
near US would occasionally send shell
screaming over our heads. | don't think
any took effect, although heard one go
crashing through something. At day
light some of the enemy near us took to
their heels. Everyone raised up and
fired as rapidly as possible at them and
occasionally one would fall. BY this time
the boys had become as good as old vets
at the business. The company then took
a position quite bit to the LETT and as
soon as the enemy found our new posi-
ton they began to pour in terrific fire.

and twigs dropped on us, having been

Manufacturing Salt in Kansas.

"a new industry in Kansas" says
q correspondent Of the Chicago Rec
ord, sis the manufacture of salt. A
large deposit has been discovered on
the line of the Santa Fe Railroad near
the town of Hutchinson in the cen
tral part of the State, which the local
geologists claim to be the largest in
the world. More than $4,000, 900 has
already been invested in plants to
purify it, and the output last year
reached nearly two million barrels,
The members of the Mulvane family,
of Topeka, who are heavy landowners,
bankers and proprietors of the To-
peka Capital, are the largest salt op-
orators in the State; but George
Gould and his brothers, of New York,
are also heavily interested. Frank
Gould, the youngest son of the late
Jay Gould, who has only recently
reached his majority, is having his
first business experience in the man

An Acrobatic Crow.
CAzlalEllJ3tiE%

Herbert O1ley, Norristown young
man, has a talking crow which is
very remarkable bird, indeed. He
plucked the creature in its infancy
from a plumb tree overhanging the
Perkiomen, and for over year he
has spent two or three pleasant hours
every evening in educating it. The
crow can swear in the following
languages: Italian, German, Span
ish, French, Greek and Chinese. It's
star feat is performed on small up
right pole. 1t climbs to the top of
the pole and balances itself there on
it's beak as an acrobat would balance
himself on his head. Then it begins
to fan the air with its wings and to re-
volve slowly. The beak bites deep
into the wood, the wings whlr faster,
and soon the inverted crow IS twirl-
ing round and round with therapidity
of whirling Dervish. 1t keeps this
up until exhausted, when it falls of
the pole in dazed conditic into the
waiting hands OF it's master. There
are many crows that can talk-they
learn easily if their tongues are split
but very few can spin around on
their beaks. ks.-Philadelphia Record.

A Eerociona Sea Creature.

"What are the most ferocious, tiger
like creatures that swim the sea? The
orca, by all MEANS" said a scientist
who is connected with the Smithso nian
Institution. ''Some people know
them as the grampus, and others as
the ork or the orc. The orca family
are cetaceans and prey on whales. I
wonder that they are so little known,
such wonderful creatures are they.
Orcas are found in all seas, but are
most numerous in the South Seas.
The natives of the Marquesa Islands
have some horrible sanguniary legends
about the things that orcas do, just as
the legends of India and Java deal
with the horrors of crocodiles. The
orcas are about twenty feet long in
the Antarctic seas and are seldom
over twelve feet long in the North
Pacific and Atlantic. They have a
terrible arm ament of sharp teeth.
1t is interesting to compare them with
animals of similar character. There
are eight species of orca the world
over, and each species has areputation
for ferocity. The best known are the
gladiator orca-orca gladiator of the
Atlantic orca rectipenna and
crca ater of the Pacific. Orca recti.
penna is a remarkable animal, readily
recognized by its dorsal fin, that is
often as tall as the tallest man, slender
and bending over at the tip gracefully.
When swimming below the surface
six feet of this fin is seen gliding
along, often resembling a shark on
the surface. New York Sun.

Didn't Miss Much.

On one of the trolley lines leading
to a well-known amusement park they
have a system whereby the cars are
stopped at certain points to allow
uniformed inspectors to count, the
passengers, presumably rs check on
the conductors. Among the passen-
gers on the car on which the Saun-
terer happened to he riding was q
we'll dressed young fellow with a
penchant for cracking jokes at other
peoples expense. When the car
stopped for the count-up he had lot
of fun thrusting gibes in the inspector,
the conductor and tie trolley com.
pany people in general. Finally, just
as the car was about to resume its
journey, he called out:
"say, Mister Inspector, you missed
me-"
The inspector turned and looked
the young fellow over very carefully.
"Humph!" he retorted, "I guess
the company can stand it. I didn't
miss much"
Then everybody laughed, the young
fellow got red in the face, the motor
man turned on the current and the
car sped onward.-Philadelphia In

Death For Corn Microbes.

That little bit of rough skin on the
business side of the little toe, that un-
failing barometer and inducer of pedal
agony, the corn, is not simply the re-
suit of wearing boots too tight or 200
loose, as we have been taught to be-
lieve. It has far more important
pedigree than than, and actually
boasts = bacilIus-the corn bacillus.
His identity has long been hidden, but
a Trappist monk discovered the ras-
cal and his complete destruction may
be looked for in the near future.
The pesky organism has been dig
niied with a name, Bacillus Diaboli-
Gus, it is called. Physicians will ab-
breviate that to Di. The monk of La
Trappe who found him out gives de-
tailed instructions for the capture and
punishment of the vicious mite for the
benefit OF suffering humanity. The
prescription is composed of thirty
grains of perchloride of mercury in
solution and thirty drops laudanum de
Sydenham. Place this on the affected
spot and the career of the bacillus di-
abolicus comes to an ignoble end

Preserving Fruit juices.

Various antiseptics have been pro-
posed and experimental with as pre-
servatives for fruit juices, but they are
really not necessary if the juices are
properly prepared by sterilizing.
Grape juice has been kept for several
years when sterilized, and without
grain of any kind of preservative.
After the juice of the fruits is ex-
pressed it is heated in a porcelain.
lined kettle nearly to the boiling
point. After holding it at this tenn
perature for fifteen minutes filter the
juice through felt. Meanwhile steril-
ize clean bottles by standing them in
water at the boiling-point, and fill.
them Immediately with the heated
Juice. When the bottles are full put
them back in the hot water and let
them remain there for fifteen minutes.
Then seal and close them tightly, and
do not open until ready for use. Fresh
fruit juices prepared in this way will
retain oil of their natural flavor and
aroma for winter use, and they can be
used in all cases where the extracts
are employed in cooking. The clear
juices are much more palatable and
healthier than any of the chemically
prepared extracts. New Voice.

The Adyanced Shirt Waist.

The shirt waist is On institution that
has come to stay. 1t has its subscrib-
ers in the homes Of the poor and the
mansions of the rich. Its praises are
sung by the women who have cents
and by the women who have dollars.
The popularity of the convenient arti-
Gle of dress places it on pinnacle
from which it will take lots of time to
drag it, if it ever comes down at all.
The shirt waist belongs to no class,
to no cline, so far as America is con-
cerned. 1t has covered the upper OF
the Southern as we'll as that of the
Northern woman, and that Of the
Western as we'll as that of the Eastern
woman.
Four dozen is very ordinary num-
Der 10 own and the collection possessed
by some reads like the extraordinary
number of toilets listed in the royal
vardrobes.
There are bound to be at least two
thirds of the lot that are white. That
goes without saying this year. There
is q pink and white gingham fine as
gossamer, a pale blue, medium blue,
deep blue with a round yoke of EN-.
broidery. There are at least two ecrus
with embroideries to tighten them and
lavender ones, and white ones. these
in silk, and solid grounds with mar
row stripes end broad and narrow
stripes alternating. The bewildering
variety of designs in the white ones
almost takes even the owners breath
away as she views them for the first
time buried in tissue papers Of deli
cate tints. The most advanced of
these, like the one shown in the large
engraving. has all-over embroidery
for the fabric, with stripes meeting in
points all the way down front and
back. 1t is stunning and dashy, and
it is hard pushed by the lovely main
sock one with the short yoke OF en-
broidery and lace running down into
the top of the sleeve. The finish Of
the bottom of the sleeve of this ono
is unique too, with its long pointed
cuff falling over the hand and making
no end of becoming flap to the very
knuckles.
For the white waists there are at
! least !hres lies for each. vida. long.
