where the conquerer at last turned

When the king began his prepara-

his army, for the first time In all his
experience, reluctant TO follow him.

ears. Coenus. in his reply voiced the
universal wish for a return.
IL was a new thing for Alexander TO
be crossed in his dssii es. In chagrn
and disappointment he shut himself
up for two days in his tent, and con-
versed with no one. When, however, on
the third day he found no change in
the temper OF his men, and the pro-
found silence throughout the camp in
dicated that the sOdicry, though an
noyed at their lcader's wrath, were
still unmoved by IT," he arose, as
rlfices for the omens OF crossing to be
made: burt when these turned out un-
favorable. ne called the elders OF the
heltalroi and his nearest friends togeth-
err and announced his decision TO
return. "rhen they shouted out as
mixed multitude would shout when re-
joicing; and many OF them were III
tears; some even approached the roynl
tent and implored blessings many ana
great upon Alexander, because, for
sooth, by them alone he lad suffered
himself TO BE- conquered" (Arrian)
After building there twelve high, tow
erlike altars. and dedlcating .nsm with
sacrifices and gymnastic and equestrl-

country where seven peoples and two

BLUEFISH Bi0OOTHIRSTY.

The bluefish is perhaps the most ter
rible and blodthirsty thing in all nature.
The tiger has a sweet and cheerful dis
position compared TO the bluefish. the
shark seems a phlegmatic and amiable
creature, and the wolf. by comparison,
is positively mild. The bluefish make
menhaden their especial prey. When a
school OF These fish perceive bluefish
near they swim away with such terrific
haste that the ocean foams over them.
but the bluefish cannot be dstanced.
They rush among the helpless menha-
den, biting, tearing, thrashing. and
even throwing them into the air.
They do not stop to swallow their
prey says the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat but kill purely for the love OF
slaughter. The sea is reddened with
blood and dotted with dead fish. but the

such shallow water that the bluefish do
not care to follow. Sometimes these
helpless fish are so blind with terror
that they swim ashore and are piled up

The bluefish do not eat one-tenth OF
the iieh they kill, although when sur
fetted they are believed by some peo-
people to disgorge their food IN order TO
take another meal. IL Is estimated that
during n fair season 100000 bluefish

HAD A GHOST FOR A FIREMAN.

II met a man on my last trip said
an old railway conductor, who re-
minded me Of a very singular story. He
used to be an engineer. and about ten
years ago he had a job pulling freight
ON a division that took him in and out
OF Chattanooga one night. when he
was going up pretty stiff grade, the
coupling Ibroks between the engine ana
the tender, and his fireman who was
standing on the connecting plate paI-
ancing a shovelful of coal I'm the glare
of the open fire box went down exactly
like a man disappearing through trap
door The whole train passed over him
and he was ground % rags. Thls tfaB-
edy happening right before the ensi-
neer's eyes gave MN a frightful shock,
and mis- nerves were Thoroughly uh-
strung.
About two weeks afterward his new
fireman was suddenly taken sick and
another man was put on just before the
rI,ain pulled out. The engineer gave
him a hasty glance I'm the dusk OF the
denot told him curtly what he wanted
him TO do. and climbed up into his seat
H. was yeXed. as engineers always are,
al having to take out a stranger. and
said nothing TO him for perhaps an
hour Then he turned TO Ssve some tri-
ding order. and there, standing on the
nlate balancing his shovel i'm the red
glare. exactly as he was on that fatal
NIGHT he saw his dead fireman. He
glared at him "A moment and then
nifched over headforemost in a swoon.
when mo came to his senses he was ly-
ing I'm the caboose. and IL was a good
while before he could tell the boys what
had happened.
.'Then the explanation came out. The
new fireman was a cousin of the one
who had been killed, and they looked
very much alike. Seen under the pecu-
liar circumstances i have described the
resemblance must have been extraor-
dinary. At any rate the episode ended
the engineers career as a railroader. He
threw up his job and got place clerk
ing i'm a store, and eventually he
worked into "a partnership. That was
the man / met ON the train the other
night. He told me he was doing very
well. and that nothing could induce him
10 go back 10 the old business

Sixy Languages Spoken.

Second, the multiplicity and hetero-
Genous natale vi ne tflDsS some
thing astounding. over 90 different Ian
guages are spoken In the archipelago.
and though the majority OF the tribes
are small i1here are at least hair a dog
en- each having over a quarter of a mill
lion members. Tie languages of these
people are as distinct from one anotn-
or as French and Spanish, or Italian so
that the speech OF any one tribe is un-
lntelligible OF its neighbors. These tribes
are ali cfviT1Zed and CnrfstIanIZed, Dut
email uncivilized tribes. among whom
the IgorOtes, seem best known I'm AM
erica, inhabbt the mountains i'm Luzon,
and form a large part OF the population
OF Mindianao. In this island, also, there
is a large Mohammedan population,
which is independent of the Mohamme-
d ans in the neighboring Sulu archi-
pelago.
Third it is the Tagalogs inhabiting
some Of the provinces about Manila
who are resisting the authority
of the United States. Other.
civilized Filipinos are neutral, except
where they are coerced by armed bands
of Tagalogs. who seized upon their gov
ernment during the making and rati-
fication OF our treaty OF peace with
Spain. IL would be Incorrect to assume.
however, that these tribes are allies OF
ours They are not. Indeed they are not
without suspicion OF the white race OF
which they have had experience only
through Spain. But there are men OF
intelligence and property and the
masses who. not stirred up by the 1'a-
Ralogs. recognize the advantage TO them
OF American sovereignty. and so remain
passively neutral, although robber
bands from time TO time descend from
the mountains & plumber and burn the
estates OF the peaceful inhabitants on
the plains.
