HOW TO HAVE A PICNIC.
Those Who Follow This Advice VIII
be Sure to Enjoy the
Occasion.

Before many weeks we will wake up
some fine morning to find out that the
leaves on the trees have begun to
blush with pride just before their fall
and that summer has gone. Then we
will hear from all sides: "Oh, why
didn't do this or that? intended to
all summer-but didn't get around to
it, and now it is too late!" says the
Detroit Free Press.
One of the things to be deplored will
be that more time was not spent in the
open air-at the parks, on the river
and at nearby country places. 1t is so
easy to set Out the summer doing
nothing. But it is a bad habit, for
when winter comes again it seems like
an old story and isn't half so welcome
as if the summer had been spent in COM
toned picnic season, and the picnic
ought not to be despised. Nothing is so
delightfully."- unconventional; and re-
taxation, of course, is the basis of rest.
But it is a great mistake to think that
a picnic is not a success unless the en-
tire party is reused out of bed at sun
rise and the lunch big enough to feed a
regiment. Quantity there must be, of
course, for everybody expects to eat too
much, but more than anything else,
have the lunch a dainty one. One
doesn't mind grasshopper or two in
the lemonade or a family reunion of
ants on the cake-but if the sandwiches
are thick and the cake is dry and other
things are in the same black list not
even picnic appetite will be satisfied.

Dispatches From Otis.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The war de-

from General Otis, dated Manila, Sept.
3. The first is as follows:
Railway to Angeles completed in -four
days. Insurgents north opened on place

1T IMPLIED TOO MUCH.
Ehe Young Man Was Aroused mt the
Suggestion of Previous
Engagements.

He told the shop assistant that he
wanted to purchase something that
would be a suitable present for a young
lady, says Tit-Bits.
The clerk brought out,albums, books,
gold pens and pencils and card cases,
but nothing seemed to suit. AS the last
resort he showed the young man an en-
gagement calendar-a beautiful little
tablet on which to record the engage
ments for each day of the week.
"Quite the fad now" he explained, as
he displayed the calendar. "A.l the
young ladies feel the need of them, es-
pecially during the season"
"What is it?" asked the young man.
San engagement calendar" replied
the shop assistant. She'll find it in
valuable"
"You think she would like one?"
asked the young man, with forced
calmness.
I'm sure she would, if she hasn't one
already" said the assistant.
"Well, I want to say to you that she
wouldn't" exclaimed the young man,
losing control of his temper. 81 know
her and you don't, and I want you to
understand, sir, that she has no use for
any such calendar. She doesn't have to
keep any record of her engagements.
This is the only time that she has ever
been engaged, and any man who says
that she will ever be engaged to anyone
else or that she has to put it down on
a tablet to remember has got to fight.
That's all there is to that"
He had left the shop before the as
sistant had sufficiently recovered from
his surprise to explain.

More Troops to Sail Soon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-About
1850 troops are scheduled to leave here
for Manila between Sept. II and 10 on
the transports Sherman, Grant and Sher-
idan. The Thirty first volunteer infantry,
recruited from Ohio, Kentucky, Tennes-
see and West Virginia, and the Thirty
fourth volunteer infantry, from Colorado,
Arizona, New Mexico, Indian Territory,
Oklahoma and Minnesota, are in camp
awaiting transportation, as are also some
$50 recruits for regular commands in the
Philippines. Three other of the new vol

cavalry are expected to come into camp
at the Preside from the east within the
next few dnNS

GREAT WIND PRESSURE,
A Railway Engineers Narrow Escape
While Facing 1t at "a 100-Alile-
an-HOur Gait.

speaking of these new turbine boats
that are expected to travel 35 and 40
miles an hour said an old Illinois Cen
trail engineer, 81 wonder if they have
properly allowed for the wind pressure.
| know a little something about that
myself, and 1 tell you it's pretty seri-
Gus matter. A wind that blows 40 miles
an hour is a good, stiff breeze, and the
weather bureau calls 60 miles gale.
So, if you run boat 40 miles an hour
through a stationary atmosphere you
are bound to stir up quite breeze for
yourself, and if you should be running
into a 3O-knot wind you would have the
stiffest kind of a gale blowing about
your decks In other words, half the
time a man couldn't work unprotected
on the deck. Unless he is behind a
wind shield, he would be whisked away
like thistle down and even if he could
stick to the ship he couldn't breathe.
"The company had me studying
steam at one time, and l got to know
considerable about wind pressures. 1
had little machine that / attached to
the cylinder, and it kept track of the
steam all the way through. used to
sit and watch it by the hour, and in that
way I could tell by calculating just
what the engine was doing and what re-
suits we were getting. Of course, had
to be protected from the wind, and
had sort of little box along side the
cylinder, in which | sat. In winter one
side of me would be nearly burning, and
the other nearly freezing. On one trip
I did actually burn my clothing on the
engine side and freeze two toes on the
outside foot.
"Well, to get back to the wind pres
sure. Of course, got all kinds, ac-
cording to circumstances. The worst
1 ever got was one day when we pushed
fast engine for all she was worth
right into good, stiff wind. The wind
was blowing about 30 miles, I should
think, and the indicator showed that
the engine was running almost exactly
at the rate of IS miles. That made me
face wind of all of hundred miles an
hour. l was all right behind my box,
for I was hidden to my eyes, and the
front of it was curved enough to throw
the wind over my head. Then thought
I'd stand up and see what it was like
facing a wind current of 100 miles an
hour. Well, I stood up, and 1 had all
I wanted in less time than it takes to
tell. First, my tight-ftting cap went,
and then my linen collar and my neck
tie. 1 thought my hair was going. 1
had a horrible feeling that the whole
front of my head was as fiat as pam
cake. l couldn't breathe. In another
instant should have been pulled bodily
out of my box, in spite of the grip 1 had
with both hands.
SPY desperate effort succeeded in
pulling myself down by the strength of
my arms and getting behind my wind
shield. l was a thoroughly scared and
shaken man. 1t was hours before got
over the horror of that instant, when L
stood face to face with death. Chi

The Morgnn CITY Lost.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The follow
ing dispatch, dated Nagasaki, Sept. 3,
received at the war department, gives
some particulars of the wreck of the
transport Morgan City:
Transport Morgan City, under guild
ance experienced pilot, struck a reef
about eight miles from OnOnuchi, 2oO
miles from Nagasaki, about a. m. Sept.
/. Backed off at daylight. Vessel filled
rapidly; was beached and all saved. Off
GERS and crew did splendid work. Have
telegraphed to Kobe for food. Am send
ing wrecking crew vessel food from here;
cargo all lost. Can you send me trans
port from Manila? American money
good here only, hence delay"
General Otis cabled Minister Buck for
particulars and notified the department
that the Ohio would be sent to Nagasaki.
The government suffers no great loss in
the wreck of the Morgan City save that
of time, as she was chartered vessel,
and the owners are the losers.

seaEuIIs Catching MoIes.

A farm manager at Fodderty, Ding
wall, Scotland, watching a mole catcher
at work, saw sea gulls lowering over,
and occasionally aighting upon a tur-
nip field, in which the observer and 9TH
ers were at work. A particularly large
and handsome bird attracted his atten-
ton by the graceful way it foated slow
" over the drills, intently scanning the
surface of the ground. Suddenly,
steadying itself a moment, it dropped,
dug its bill into the heaving ground, and
rose with a mole for its prey. Resting
afew minutes, it gracefully began again
a further search fov prey. In few min
r.es a second mole was uneaIthed.-

FILIPINOS IN WANT.
Insurgents Short of Rations
and Powder.
THE SPANISH PRISONERS ESCAPING
American Cnptives Better Treated
Than the Spanish-Nntive Police
Patrol ManiIa-Ikansas Troops
Embark on the Tartar.

MANILA, Sept A. Many Spanish
prisoners are escaping from the Filipinos
and bringing into the American lines
stories of hard treatment. They agree
that the Filipinos are exceedingly short
of rations and that a large section OF
their troops is reduced to the use OF
homemade black powder.
The natives are trying every scheme tt
get food and munitions from Manila
Daily arrests are made for attempts tc
smuggle contraband of war through the
American lines. In one case cascoe
with cargo of bamboo poles was over
hauled, and the poles were found full OF
rice.
The insurgents have a wholesome re
spect for the British on account of sew
eral threats of British warships to bonn
bard their towns unless the rights OF
British subjects were respected. Two
British vessels, the Lacson and the Nero
were driven by stress of weather into the
harbor of Dagupan, the northern terml-
nus of the Dagupan railway. The crews
were imprisoned, but on their protesting
that they were British subjects the in
surgent authorities permitted one man,
Edwards, to come to Manila, promising
to release the crew of the Lacson If Ed
wards secured from the British consul at
Manila a statement establishing the ma
tionalty of the crew. A similar conceS-
sion was made to the crew of the Nero.
Edwards says he saw several American
prisoners who were better fed than the
Spaniards or the Filipino soldiers. More
over, they were not compelled to work,
as the Spanish prisoners are.
A force of native police has begun to
patrol the city of Manila, cooperating
with the provost guard, whose lack of
knowledge of the language and the re-
sorts of native criminals had given many
opportunities for burglaries, an industry
which has been fourishing of late. The
new force includes many members of the
old force and some insurgents who had
grown tired of fighting. 1t has already
done good work in running down native
criminals.
The American secret service recently
found a Filipino spy in Calamba. He is
supposed to have been the man who stole
four guns belonging to the Washington
regiment He offered desperate resist
ance to the soldier who was sent to cap
ture him and tried to run away with two
revolver shots in his head Finally he
was brought down by a rifle bullet in the
hip. He died after jumping from the
stretcher and trying to run.
General Bates, it is expected, will es-
tablish posts at Zamboanga and in the
islands of Tamtani, Jolo and Bongao.
Late yesterday afternoon the Kansas
regiment embarked on big barges in. the

Defective Hearing on Railroads.

Attention is called in medical jour
nails to the desirability of testing rail-
road employees for defective hearing as
we'll as for color-blindness. A recent
examination in Europe developed the
fact that out of 50 firemen and engine
drivers only three possessed perfectly
normal hearing. 1t is suggested that
there should be a standard of hearing
power for the examination of employees
who have to depend upon sound signals.

POOR PAY OF MODELS.
A Calling That Is Full of Hardship
and Makes But Small
Return,

The amount of stuff that is written,
and presumably read, about models
nowadays leads one to suppose that the
life of these men and women is very
pleasant and delectable. Like most fig
ures of realistic" fiction, says the Phil
adelphia Press, this one is not quite
real. One of the few good models of
Philadelphia said the other day: For
class work l get four dollars a week and
work as many hours a day, going on
the stand at s: As and posing until IL: 45,
with a rest of ten minutes in every CO..
The head model has to do just as much
posing of the body as any other, and
gets less money. However, it's one of
the few lines of business where women
do better than men. The latter don't
seem to have the required bodily en-
durance. Put yourself in the most COM
Portable position and try to remain so,
unmoved, for five minutes, and you'll
understand something of what 1 have
to go through for ten times that long
models prefer to pose for male classes.
Men always have more consideration.
A woman painter will make you stand
till her own hand is tired with the
brush. Yet in the studio of the most
considerate one must undergo torture.
There is a lot of pity given to factory
girls, of which little might be ex-
tended to us, for the fact is that there is
no business in which q woman can en-
gage where she will suffer so much ia
tigue and get so little remuneration as
that of an artists model"

ARMY OFFICERS CALLED "MR. 4"
None of Them Get Their Official Titles
Until They Reach the Rank
of Captain.

People who are not versed in matters
of army usage often ask why certain
army officers are addressed as Mister"
and not by their titles. To the men
who enter the service from West Point
the custom is well understood, because
they know that, no matter how much
authority they may have, or how gay
their uniform may be, they are sim
ply "misters" until they wear two bars
on their shoulder straps. A recent oc-
currence in the Army building illus
trated the matter. a man who had
been field officer in the volunteer serv-
ice in the war with Spain had been ap-
pointed to a lieutenancy in the new
volunteer army, and called at one OF
the offices of the headquarters on
matter of business. There the officer
IN charge presented him to a United
States army officer
maj. Blank, allow me to present Mr..
Smith-Mr. Smith, Maj. Blank"
The volunteer officer limited in mod
est way, when the major had with
drawn, that it might have been well
to let the fact be known that he also
was an army officer. "Oh, that's all
right" said the officer who had acted
as host, Everybody is mister until he is
captain"
Even in service the first and second
lieutenants are addressed as mister"
by officers of higher rank. The Gus
tom is so general that it is not unusual
Cor lieutenants in the regular service
to have their visiting cards engraved
with the Mr." prefixed, thus:
