WOMEN cF THE PHILIPPINES.
Their Redeem1ng Feature is Their
 PerSonal Cleanliness.

Their Redeeming Feature is Their
 PereonaI Cleanliness.
 The ,aristocratic Philippine matron and her daughters indulge in no greater bodily exercise, If they can help it, than that required for driving or shopping But the peasant woman shares her husbands work, whatever it may be, laboring at the blow behind an ungainiy carabao -buffaIol in the paddy-feld, or helping to pole a huge lorcha, or cocoauut raft, up or down the river, besides attending to her domestic cares. And I take pleas ure in saying that, whatever it's pro- Drieter's rank or station the native Philippine nipa hut is invariably a marvel of neatness and cleanliness as to its interior: far superior in this re- speet to the average dwelling house, be 1t that of a merchants clerk or that of the governor-generaL. So far as the latter are concerned a decent servant. girl, such as are employed in America and England, would not be content to remain ln one two days. Hundreds 0f girls are employed in the great cigar factories. and others in the convents labor to weave the far-famed pima lace of the Philippines, several at a time squatting on the floor around a single frame, picking and manipulating with dett fingers the infnitesimally delicate nbers, Sometimes they work for months to complete a single mantilla or handkerchief These native women are rarely employed by the European residents as domestic servants, except ia the capacity of lady's maid or enu- dren's nurse, and even these positions are often occupied by boys They are very unreliable. and the utter absence of the sense of gratitude, so character istic of the entire Philippine race, rem ders it an almost hopeless and very ex- asperating task to attempt to train them as servants. Their only redeem Ing feature is their sense of absolute personal cleanliness, but in spite of this many European women prefer to go to the expense and trouble of i'm porting a Chinese anna from Hong Kong or Canton rather than to intrust her children to the care of native girl; although when in her own ca- pacity as mother the Filipina. so far as observation goes, leaves nothing to be desIred.-Woman' Home Compan- ion.

REGULAR EXODUS.

Of ATohammedans Has Set In from tAB
 Island of Crete.
 A regular exodus of Mohammedans from Crete has set in, and, as there seems to be no way of stopping it, 1t is believed that the Porte will soon make virtue of necessity and pass the word for all true Mussulmans to quit the island Although large sums of money have been distributed at Can- dia among those willing to stay, be- sides free gifts of timber for the rs. construction of their houses, boats con- tinue to leave crowded with emigrants. The news of Prince Georges visit to Candid only gave fresh stimulus to the exodus, and, at latest accounts, the prospect was that the whole Mussul- man population would soon be gone. The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs, and accuse England of being principally to blame, since she, of the four powers, has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would be safeguarded. It is not denied that England has endeav- pred, in a certain measure, to fulfill her promises, but, as the Christian Gre tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin- habitable for Moslems, it is practical ly impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain. It is gen. erally admitted that each family is worth a considerable sum per annun to the island in taxes and industry, but the Christians. having obtained the upper hand, are resolved to pursue their advantage to the uttermost, and to drive all Moslems out of the coun- try, so far as 1t lies within their power to do so. This is, at all events, an ef- fective way of putting an end to relig- tous differences.

A Real Princess.

This little princess is the favorite granddaughter of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, and her father, the Archduke Rudolf, would one day have been emperor if he had lived.
 She has fine castle, in which she lives with her mother, and has many fine horses and carriages, but she lives as simply as most healthy American girls of her age. Both she and her mother are very fond of horseback riding, bicycling and other outdoor exercises, and the people of Austria love heg very muHh, for she is very kind to the poor people and spends a great deal of her time planning for their comfort and happiness. She and her mother, it is said. think more of each other than all the world beside. and they are more like two sisters than like mother aud daughter.

MAGNIFICENT LAzlNEss.
A New orleans Tramp Holds the Record
for Ease.


 At about noon fat and healthy looking, but phenomenally tattered' tramp sat furtiyely dozing on bench in Lafayette square, says the New or- leans Times-Democrat. The nearby tablet of the goedetic survey a1- nounced that he was in exactly lat!- tude 20 degrees 56 minutes 59 seconds and longitude 90 degrees 4 minutes seconds, but the fact disturbed him not. Leaning back luxuriously, he ap- peared to be bursting from every seam of his dilapidated attire, and as he passed in and out of cat maps he nodded solemnly, like porcelain man darin. His legs were crossed and his suspended foot was tncased in a shoe from which most of the forward por- tion of the sole was missing, exposing his bare and dirty toes from below. It was held to his foot by 8 string tied around his instep; in fact, he was ilt- srally "on his uppers, q circumstance which bothered him as little as the goedetic tablet. Presently, in one of his waking intervals, be espied a halt- smoked cigar stump lying on the pave ment about a yard from the bench, For a moment 1e surveyed it calmly, dispassionateIy, almost judieially. Then he executed a remarkable strat- egic movement. Without stirring the upper portion of his body, he slowly unerossed his legs, lowered his foot accurately and deiberately over the treasure troYe, gripped 1t in e6nyulr s9ye clutch of his toes, reversed the motion, raised his foot, carrying with 1t the stump, crossed his legs. Ian- guidly stretched forth his hand and secured his prize. A gouty clubman, who was out for constitutional and who had watched the proceeding from another bench, was lost in admiration. @Why the man is a wondert' he ex- claimed to friend There is some. thing magnificent, almost supernatural in such Iaziness as that! He has ele- Yated it to an art. to a-bat, hold, t would be 6 thousand pities if he were disturbed for a match. l must offer him one!" The Souty elubmap# arose with difficulty, hobbled down the walk, and, drawing a silver match-case from his pocket, extended it with a polite bow. The tramp manifested 10 sur prise, but slowly extracted match and ignited the stump Tanks" hs murmured, and closed his eyes.

AND THE DEER PASSED ON,

"Agricola" in discussing in the
Arkansas Democrat the candidacy
of Judge Wood, among other
things says:
A son Of Ireland came to
America. He had never seen a
deer and was anxious to see and
kill one. A company went on a
drive and took him. They placed
him in a sure spot, Not long
after a buck came along, leisure
ly, jumping high and down again.
The Irishman saw him, took
down his gun and refused to
shoot, and the deer passed on.
A friend came up and said:
"Pat, why did you not shoot that
fine buck we drove near you?"
"Well," says Pat, "Shoot himp
Mono shoot such a d. fool as
him. He's done broke his foil
neck fore this Tine"
We don't need Judge Wood
or any other judge, colonel or
citizen--to break the honorable
attorney-general's neck. That
Conway speech did that, and very
effectively. Well may his good
wife laugh at his presumption to
offer for governor and keep him
in the black yard to play with the
children and dogs"

Referring to Act CIV entitled

"The act, as you notice, pro-

less of when issued.
II am having a great many
warrants presented to me which
have been issued and registered
here for considerably more than a
year. At the time of making
these warrants, of course, they
were not eligible for registration,

turn them all for re-registratior
with the clerk; however, | do moi
think the act intends to cover the
point as closely as our county
officer thinks and would be very
mucn obliged for your opinion 81
that we may govern ourselves &C
cordingly."
The encouragement replied a.
follows:
"In answer beg leave to sa,
that | am clearly of the opinion
that the act covers every warran
that is presented to the count,
treasurer after the first day 0
July, and is not limited in it
effect to such warrants as wer,
effect. The act says the count,
clerk shall register all distric

the opinion that it is broa,
enough to mean any warrant, n
matter when issued, if presente,
after the first day Of July, tn
