GrieXe for Col. kins.

In an interview Lieut.. Col. BarneI
said: "Of course all of the boys art
anxious to get back home A year Of
the kind of fighting we have seen IL
enough for any one, but if the president
had desired us to remain in the Phil
ippines forever we would have done SC
without complaining. Our return is
not as cheerful as it might have been,
because the boys feel deeply the death
of Col. Hawkins, who was a friend to
man in the regiment who did not feel
proud of his commander. We thought
we had the Dravest and best commander
in the Philippines"

POETESS ON COMPLEXION.
She Says That Love and Sorrow Only
Intensity the Beauty of
Women.

A poetess of passion has written an
article on the art of keeping young,
says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. She does not call it that ami she
Gevotes nearly all her space to complex
icns. OF figures or hair or dress or ideas
she says not a word. She says women
Go not paint OF calcimine their faces in
this enlightened age, but they do work
over them and think about them and
spend money on them. They Go not tell
the men of their acquaintance the brand
of cold cream or the make ofloofah they
employ, because men are prejudiced
beings and cannot conceive of virtue
and pearl powder in the same person.
Man thinks soap and water sufIicien MT cos
metics for any woman. The poetess OF
passion iouts him; she says there are
scores of excellent persons of the fem
irine persuasion who never use soap on
their faces. One of the most beautiful
women she knew at 60 had pink and
v hite skin, the result of bathing in hot
milk, and never having used soap.
The observing writer goes on to say
that the popular idea that amiable. un-
feeling, Unconditional women alone can
retain their youthful compilations is a
| fallacy. Love and sorrow intensity in
stead of spelling beauty, she says 1t is
only the lower and meaner passions,
like envy and spite and ill-temper, which
mar the face beyond repair, and the
poetess believes in skin tonics and skin
food, massage and all the other scien-
tific aids to beauty.

SULTAN FEARED THE GUN.
The Turkish Monarch Was Greatly
Impressed with the
Maxim Arm.

Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the
Maxim gun, tells an amusing story of
an experience with the sultan of Tur-
key. The sultan had witnessed test
of the wonderful shooting of the ra pid-
fire arm and was duly impressed with
seeing the small weapon deliver itself
of 600 shots a minute without being
touched by human hands save the first
pull of the trigger.
"Wonderful! wonderful" he ex-
claimed in amazement. 81 must have
some Of those arms"
Some time later Mr.. Maxim received
an order for expensive pattern of
small field arm. He made two, beauti
fully chased in gold and of marvellous
workmanship. What the sultan could
want of such expensive outside trap
pings he did not know, but they were
duly sent to Turkey, where they now
rest in the royal museum.
"Ah! They shoot to- well, the sui
tan is reported to have said when asked
why they were not used in the field.
''They are better where they are"
1t was afterward said that the sultan,
having a superstitious regard for their
shooting power, thought they were bet
ter off where they could be seen in
stead of being handled by his troops in
times Of peace. But now, having got
ten over somewhat his fear Of their
"heathenish devilishness. be is said TO
have arrived at that point where they

CRIMES OF COOLIES.
The LoH~Lived Mongols Are as Cum
ming as Foxes and as Cow
nrdly Wolves.

They are queer crowd, these coolies,
whether on land or sea, says the Lud-
gate Magazine. Cunning as foxes and
cowardly as wolves, they resemble the
pariah dogs of their own cities in point
of inability to hunt any prey save in
packs. l heard of an instance where
a gang of them, employed as navvies
in the cutting of a railway, killed their
Overseer with shovels and fed into the
bush. Nobody was ever hanged for the
crime, because some 40 Of them were in
it-and that would have Eeen rather a
large consignment to condemn, even
in the far east, where human life is so
cheap.
There are 25O,O00 Chinese in Bang
kok alone, and they do not appeal to
ones cordial cmotions-very much the
contrary. And should this catch the
eye of any intending visitor TO the far
east. ! would urge upon him the un-
wisdom Of venturing TO spend night
on a Chinese junk without so much as
a revolver to defend himself with. Oc-
casionaIly a European is discovered by
the marine police floating on the wa
ter with his throat cut. In such case
it is highly probable that he had been
foolhardy. as | was. But different peo-
pie are born to different ends, and the
Chinese contempt of the European is
frequently justified by facts.

CATS PROTECT CHICKENS.
Three Semi-Wild Tahbies POunce
Upon a Hawk That Invaded
Poultry Yard.

II. C. Barnett, who lives near Media,
has in his possession the body of a
chicken hawk that was killed in pc
culiar manner, reports the Philadel-
phia Record. Barnett is general
farmer, but makes q speciality of poul-
try raising. Since he has owned the
farm three old cats left by the former
tenant have hung about the place in a
seIni-wild state. At first Barnett tried
to tame the animals, but they repulsed
all friendly overtures and took up their
abode in the barn. However, as they
did not harm the chickens they were
not moleSted.
The other day, while Barnett was on
his barn roof replacing some shingles,
he heard a loud cackling in the yard
below. Looking down, he saw num-
ber of his chickens huddled together
and seemingly greatly agitated. Then
he discovered large hawk just pre-
pairing to make swoop. Barnett was
preparing to descend to the rescue
when the hawk made a plunge at the
terrified fowls. The robber was lei
surely preparing to carry off chicken
when there was quick patter of feet
and the three cats bounded into view.
The hawk made an effort to escape
with its prey, but the cats came to the
rescue in the nick of time. The hawk
made a spunl<y resistance, but the com
bined assault of the cats cverpowered
him, although only after fierce bat
tie. Barnett had reached the battle
field by this time, and he rescued the
hawks body from the cats.
