on the sidewalk at McInerny's corner
was cut down this morning. 1t has
been quite a nuisance in the past and

CEREBRAL HEMoRRHAGE.
Not Peculiar or the Inevitable A.
Fiction of the Rich.

No the Peculiar or the Inevitable Az
Fiction of the Rich.
Philadelphia Record: When a mil
lonaire dies of a cerebral hemorrhage
the newspaper pathologists make haste
to tell us that the weight of his mil7
lions burst M of the blood vessels in
his brain. When a pauper-or ever an
ordinary gentleman-dies from the
same accident, the newspaper frater-
nifty has nothing to say; and never in
forms us why a poor mans artery
should give way without the strain OF
bloated opulence to account for it. The
recent death of a highly esteemed and
benevolent millionaire in New York,
from apoplexy-from which also his
father died before hints all explain
ed in the newspapers as a logical Sc
quence of his having much money. We
have always thought, in our ignorance,
that cerebral h~emorrhages were due to
disease of the coats of the arteries, and
that this disease in turn was due to ir-
ritant or morbid states of the blood.
A million of money is not one of the
things that circulates in these chan
nels, and a millionaire has no more
monopoly of atheromatous patches in
his arteries than a beggar. All the
worry for gold imaginable could no
o produce such a patch than it
could cause a wart on a mans nose.
Let money bear its fair share of re-
sponsibility in the world. but let us
not load it down with too much pathol-
ogy. Its possession and proper use
tend to health and prolongation of life
rather than the contrary. 1t is poverty
and p%rivation that are of close kin to
disease-and even newspaper report
ers might recognize the fact that a
more v e distribution of wealth
would not be injurious to the health
of many Of us.

New Mauser Pistol.

"The new Mauser pistol, with which
Il cavalry is about to be armed, is
a notwithstanding piece of machinery"
said an aesthetic New Orleans sports
a at doesn't resemble a 1irearm at
all, but looks like some strange scien-
tific instrument, such as one might see
in a laboratory. Imagine a cigar box,
japanned black, with a handle at one
end and a short tube at the other, and
there you have it. The box contains
the mechanism and the tube spouts
bullets. The cavalryman of the past
vas a dashing figure. He wore a steel
cuirass and a helmet with nodding
plumes. and while he carried a brace
of pistols in his holster. his real weap-
on was his trusty saber. Do you re-
member the splendid fellows who are
g%alloping past Napoleon in Nelson
nier's 1907? Since then science has
gradually sucked all the poetry out of
war, and the Mauser pistol is the last
work of brutal utilitarianism. The
cavalryman of the future will carry
nothing but a small black walnut box,
and will closely resemble a surgeon 60
-"
ing out to operate for appendicitis.
When he gets to the right spot, desig-
mated by the engineer corps, he will
dismouht, open the box, lake out his
hideous Mauser machine, hook the
case to one end, so as to form a shout
der rest, spray a few quarts of projec-
tiles in a given direction, and go
home again tn rest after the fatipue
of the fray. If the calculations of the
range finder are right, his bullets will
perforate somebody a mile away. That
will be war a la mode. In some re-
spects 1t is a great improvement on the
old style, but it will inspire no poets.
Imagine Tennyson writing the Charge
of the Light Brigade about a cavalry
regiment armed with Mauser automat.

THRIFTY FILIPINOS.
CURIOUS SAVINGS BANKS IN
PHILIPPINES.
Nearly Every Person In the Islands IL
the Possessor of . Secret Strong box
In Which He Keeps His Medium of
Exchange. .

Nearly every provincial Filipino Of
thrifty ~propensities puts his savings,
not in a Manila bank, but in a strong
box. The box is usually a fancy iron
chest Of small dimensions, but is Sc
cured by locks and bolts enough to de-
fly a Chinese locksmith. The outer
keyhole is the first secret of the box,
and is usually hidden under some NOV
ing iron band that embellishes the
chest. After raising the first lid there
are n OF two more that must be
opened, and the locks or bars of these
are also hidden--though in most cases
simple to the ingenuity of the Yankee
soldiers. The whole continuance is a
relic of Spanish feuGalism, and as a
piece of safety is an easily solved toy
to the ingenious American. The Fill
pinos, however, found it necessary,
while under Spanish friars, to secure
their savings from the official and the
priest. 1t was the custom to bury the
box under a tree near their homes.
When our soldiery swept over the
country and villages around Manila
hundreds of these native boxes were
unearthed. In most cases the native
had anticipated the soldier and fed
with his earnings, but it was often the
case that time was too short, Under our
rapid advance, to unearth and unlock
the strong boxes, SO that when u
troops had driven out the insurgents
many of the boxes were found. In
some cases the chest was found above
the ground, but on account of the in
tricate system of locks, time was not
sufficient for the Filipinos to withdraw
the money. Sums ranging from 500
to $4,000 were found. l met a soldier
one day hurrying to the rear after we
had taken a village north of Manila.
What is your rush?" I asked. II
guess you would rush." he said, eff
you found $500 in Spanish gold"
What are you going to do with it,"
I said. "Well, I'm going to buy a draft
on New York and send it to my moth
er, and I am going to do it just as
fast as my legs will carry me. Good
by" And off he went. and l didn't
question the propriety of the act. For
he was n of the many l heard of, and
I doubt if all Of the finds served
such a good purpose.-Leslie's Weekly.

DOES Resentment.

Sandwich had two intelligent, COM

very fond of both. They were very
much attached to him and devoted to
each other. One white pet fell sick,
and he watched over the little crea-
ture. But no care suficed to save 1t,
and 1t died. The loving master said
that he himself would bury the dog,
and did SO. The living Pomeranian III

Letter Box in the white House.

Washington Star: "An amusing
thing that we frequently see at the
White House," said one of the at
taches there, sis the mailing of letters
in the White House letter box by Wis
itors to the city. All visitors to Wash
ington go to the Executive Mansion,
and many Of them notice the letter
box in the vestibule Just before enter
ing the east Don Some of them de-
eide to mail letters there, believing
that these letters will contain the
stamp at the White House. OF curse
it would be a great thing for a distant
relative to receive a letter postmarked
at the White House. The other day
an intelligent-looking woman, accom-
panied by several grown daughters,
asked me to lend her a pencil. I heard
her say, Won't 1t be lovely to mail
them a letter from here, and let them
see that we've been to the presidents
homer She proceeded to write for
some time, secured an envelope, adj
dressed it and then proudly dropped
the epistle in letter box. She went
off with a radiant face. She was sure
that all Of her neighbors and friends
for miles around would hear Of that
letter mailed from the White House,
and she would be besieged with In
quiries on her return. She'll learn her
mistake. The letter box here does not
differ in. any way from those IN the
streets" b

Cherokee in the Philippines.

From the Boston Transcript:
curious bond of sympathy between
some of the people in these United
States and one of the Philippine tribes
has been discovered by a California
soldier, who tells his Luzon experiences
in the pages of the Overland Monthly.
When the Ygreto chief, badly wounded
in the February fight. was recovering
from his hurts in u hospital in Ma
Mia, one Of the soldiers who knew the
Cherokee language, thought he recog-
nized in the Ygreto's talk words that
bore a striking resemblance to Cher
okee. He tried the chief with a few
sentences in Cherokee, with the result
that the two Dol readily understood
one another and became very good
friends. AS the California thinking
bayonet" who records the incident
says, Here is a curious item for eth
nOlOgists."

Sort Of Up-to-D.te Maxeppa.

A boy named Veasy, having escaped
from the workhouse at Hinckley,
Leicestershire, England. the porter was
ordered to proceed to Stanton, a neigh
boring village. and bring him back.
The porter went to Stanford on a BIZ
cycle, and, finding the lad, tied both
his arms with a rope, and, attaching
the end Of it to his bicycle, dragged
him back to Hinckley, the man riding
at good speed. The affair has created
a great sensation in the district, and at
the recent meeting of the Hinckley
guardians the board expressed their
strong condemnation of the porter's
conduct. One member of the board
said the boy was exhausted by the
treatment meted out to him. At the
meeting the porter's resignation was
rendered and accepted, the mans ex-
PLANTATION for resigning being that he
did not care for the treatment he re-
ceiyed from the Migrants.

Daniel Webster Thought So, Too.

Capt. Pratt, of s%cituate, Mass, is, a
recent writer reports, after visiting
there, a man whose conversation is
worth listening to-. He is "the Oldest
inhabitant," and brims over with en-
tertaining "reminiscences of persons
and events connected with the south
shore. A favorite anecdote is of a
chowder which he once enjoyed in dis
tinguished company. He and several
comrades had been fishing together,
just off shore. At noon they dropped
anchor and prepared to feast upon a
smoking fish chowder, which one of
them, elected as cook, had just COM
pounded. Just then a rowboat came
alongside, carrying two roughly clad,
sunburned men, who stopped and asked
for bait. 1t was given then, and they
were about to row away, when Capt.
Pratt remembered the chowder, and
Hospitality invited them to stay and
share it. They accepted, and seemed
fully to appreciate their portion. While
the meal was in progress, one of the
captains friends remarked between
m%outhfuls: "They do say that Daal
Webster brags about the chowders he
makes over to Ma'ashfield. don't
believe he could hold a candle to this
one. Why, it's the best chowder l ever
eat!" Daniel Webster thinks SO, tool"
came in laundering tones from the
man who had borrowed the bait. "Sure

SPIDER WHO REASONED WELL,
Moths and Mosquitoes Sought IN Electric
Light and He saw His Chance.

Moths and Mosquitoes Sought IN Electric
Light and, He Saw His Chance.
Insects reason-at least some in
sects do. This is no. dogma. 1t is q
fact that can be demonstrated, or
rather that has been demonstrated.
The demonstration lies in the appli-
cation of electricity to spider utili-
ties. In a trolley car on a suburban
line the other evening l noticed that
around the central cluster Of lights
pendant from the roof was a spiders
web. 1t was evening, and by and by
h current al turned into the lights.
From a crevice somewhere in the roof
of the a emerged a great fat, we'll
favored spider. Blithely he lowered
himself by homespun ladders until
he was on a level with n Of the
glowing bulbs of light. Patiently he
waited, and he had not long to wait.
Even as the first tide of electricity
surged through the dainty filament of
the lamp, heating it to illumination.
a silly moth turned from its haphaz-
ard course to hover about the light.
A score of other moths, a swarm OF
pestiferous mosquitoes, a collection of
gnats, some belated flies and other
denizens Of the insect world plunged
madly into the circle of call hands
around" the electric lights. 1t vas the
spiders opportunity. Here he seized a
moth, there a mosquito. Skillfully he
threw his silken ropes about them,
binding them fast. One victim secur-
ed, he fastened to secure another,
storing up choice viands of all sorts
for a midnight feast. Now, why did
the spider fix his lair near the electric
light? Was it instinct? Instinct is a
development of generations, and cleo
trio light is of recent invention. Say,
rather it was reason. This observing
spider by chance had wandered into
an electric car. Wideawake for OPP
portunities, he noticed this new in
vention c. man-electric light. He
had seen how the foolish moths and
mosquitoes swarmed about the blaze.
IF these foolish creatures gather here

oned-what other name shall we call
