in store for those who have to do with the
schooner until she is rid of her queer oc-
cupants. Captain Chandler has hauled in

before, so he is not complaining He knows
that the presence of the animals is a SEEM
ingty necessary adjunct wherever this val
liable commodity is on board and he has
become Injured by association to their pc
culiarities. Not so the crew, as many of
them have never before sailed a craft SINH
larly loaded and are consequently unac-
quainted with the playful habits of the liz
ard, and they do not feel as much at home
among them as the Golden Sheafs captain
The lizards secrete themselves in the log
wood before il is loaded at Black river pos
sihly even before it is RATED down. They
prefer that species of timber to any product
of the tropical forest which is their home
They arrive on board unsupported and may
remain undetected until some mariner hap

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Two Famous Examples of 1t Were
Bismarck and Garibnidi.
From the philndeIuhia inne

One is always afraid chat when a man
falls suddenly in love he may fall out of it
equally quickly, but among celebrated men
of the century who have fallen in love at
first sight and married happily are Garibal-
di and Bismarck.
In Garibaldi's autobiography the story of
his love is told. He relates how, feeling the
need of some one who would love him, and
believing women to be the most perfect
beings, he determined TO seek a wife for
himself. He was then pacing the deck of
the Itanarica, and he chanced to look upon
the houses of the Barra, little hill at the
entrance of the Laguna of St. Catherine in
Brazil With the aid of glass which he
carried he saw a young girl, and he order
ed the men to put him ashore. On landing
he tried to find the house which he had
seen from the ship, but failed. and, meet
ing an acquaintance, he accepted an invi-
ation to take coffee at his house.
'On entering the house" says Garibald,
the first person on whom my gaze fell was
the one who had caused my coming ashore
Ii was Anita, the mother of my children
We both remained in an ecstatic silence
gazing at each other like two persons who
do not meet for the first time and who seek
in each others lineaments something which
shall revive remembrance At last | sa-
luted her and l said: You must be mine
I spoke but little Portuguese and | said
ever, l seemed to have some magnetic pow
er in my insoience. l had tied a knot
which death only could break
Bismarcks courtship was equally brief
Bismarck met and lost his heart to Frau
lein Won Puttkammer at a wedding, and
thereupon wrote to her parents and boldly
demanded her. AS at this time he was a
wild youth, whose pranks We're the talk of
the country, it is not surprising that the
young lady's father should say: 1t was
as If some one had struck me on the head
with a heavy AK However Bismarck S
love being evidently returned, the lady s
parents invited him to visit them that they
might know something more about him
than report had told them.
At the time of his arrival the parents
were ready to greet their guest with proper
soemnity, and their daughter stood by
with downcast eyes. Bismarck rode up
and, hastily alighting, threw his arms
around his sweethearts neck and kissed
her before any one had time to protest. The
result a formal betrothal. The Iron
Chancellor" was fond of telling this tale
and he generally added to it the remark:
UT is she who made me what l am"

the Filipino people can be made fully ac-
quainted with the sentiments and intentions
or the American government, when l am
confident that they will appreciate the en-
deavers of the United States and will again
look upon that country as their friend and
protector. ! also fully believe that the pres
ent unrest is the result of Vaccinations of
evil-disposed persons
Aguinaldo replied that the men were ar
rested inside of his lines for breach of a
decree forbidding fol eigners to approach
the insurgent lines
Gen. Otis report explains that the Amer
leans were not outside our lines and says
ne quotes the correspondence merely to
show the efforts of the American authorities
10 MAINTAIN the peace. He next tells how
the American soldiers were openly insulted
and how the insurgents had continually la
oored to strengthen their lines. threatening
to drive the Americans out of the island,
ana now, finally, on the night of February
the demonstration was made as told by
Gen Macarthur which resulted In the
killing of a Filipino by an American sentry
and the firing on the Americans by the In
surgent troops. Gen. Otis concludes his re-
port as follows.
The insurgent army had thus succeeded
in drawing the fire of a small outpost,
which they had evidently labored with all
tfelr ingenuity to accomplish in order to
Justify in some way their premeditated at
tack. 1t is not believed that the chief insur-
gent leaders wished to open hostilites at
this time, as they were not completely pre-
pared to assume the initiative. They desired
TWO or three days more to perfect their ar
rangements, but the zeal of their army
brought on the crisis which anticipated their
action.
They could not have delayed long, how
ever, for 1t was their object to force an is
sue before American troops then en- route
could arrive at Manila"

ting common snuff in their haunts
round the fireplace.
To grind old scissors at home, saw
the blades on the neck of glass bottle,
as if you were trying to saw that part
off. In very short time the scissors
will be quite sharp.
To- effectually blacken light woods,
make preparation of an ounce of
borax, dissolved in quart of water,
with two ounces of shellac; the liquid
is then to be boiled until a perfect So
luton is obtained; then stir in two
teaspoonfuls of glycerin, and COM
plete by adding sutficiency of soluble
analine black to darken the liquid,
which will now be ready for use.
Carpentering utensils, wood-carving
tools and so forth may be preserved
from rust by cleaning them with a
mixture of a quarter of an ounce OF
camphor with half pound of lard and
the addition of as much black lead as
will turn the preparation a dark hue.
1t is advisable to leave some of this
preparation upon the tools for night,
and then rub it off with soft cloth.
To destroy centipedes and other in
sects which often infest the cellars of
country houses, rinse some rather
wide-mouthed empty bottles with
methylated spirit, leaving few drops
inside, so that they may not dry too
quickly. Lay the bottles about with
the necks slightly raised-a bit of wood
will serve for the purpose-ard also
make parkway into the trap-and
the insects will crawl in, when they
