AT REAPING TIME.

The harvest supper has various names in England, among them being the mell supper, harvest supper and harvest home.
 In Windsor, the farmers always crown the last load of the season with flowers, and an image, dressed to repre- sent Ceres, is borne in procession.
 The United States is about the only country which has no established har vest customs. In some parts harvest celebrations are held. but we have no traditions such as they have abroad.
 In Bavaria the last sheaf is fashioned into the shape of human being. with a stick in one hand, a wreath on its head, and around it the peasants kneel ;n prayer. not to the image, but to the Supreme Being.
 In some parts of England it is the custom to throw water over the good natured victims who ride in the cart bearing the last of the grain and the sport seems to afford as much merri- ment to the drenched as to the drench- CTS.
 The best authorities regard the harv- est festival as of Jewish origin and othernations followed the custom of of fering up the first fruits of their fields to their gods. When the harvest was over the heads of heathen families were wont to feast with the servants. This led 10 the harvest supper which is now celebrated.
 In Italy agriculture has made little progress, yet the season of the harvest is made one continual festival. The mountain toilers gather in Rome and leave the city in companies, white oxen, decorated with bright ribbons, draw ing their carts. Altars are erected in the fields and mass celebrated. In the evening singing, dancing and feasting conclude the celebration.

ELECTING UNITED STATES SEN
 lATORS.

The friends of MT. Quay in Pennsyl- vania are said to be confident that they
 will be able to carry through oangress law altering the method of electing United States senators so that the man who receives a plurality of the votes cast shall be declared elected. This would run MT. Quay in.
 It wiM be interesting to see how this suggestion is received through the country. The feeling against majori- ties is general, but the people still hold out for a majority vote in the caucus, and in the choice of senators and presi- denlts. 1t is, of course, the one logical way tcf make a choice, for, in the case of every plurality candidate, it is evi- dent that more are opposed to him than are for him and that he gets his place against the expressed preferences Of the majority.
 If plurality of votes were to elect . senator, it might easily be that the minority party, being united on one man while the majority were divided among several, could carry off the HA 4AO. 4J1I I4@dC ID OI1ly du uJ- The main thing is that this suggestion and the other evidences of public dis satisfaction with the present method of choosing senators go to strengthen the populistic demand for the election of senators by popular vote. This will they say, emancipate the people and give them chance to do their own choosing.
 But the people today elect their own state officers. Those persons are elect ed by popular vote And do the people have any mere to do with their nomi- nation than with that of a senator? In one case the state convention makes the nominations and in the other the legislature elects. Are not the people cs well satisfied to trust a legislature as convention? Are not men chosen and hired tc stand in public for months as representatives of the people, as well qualified to act for them in such mat ter as men who are chosen simply to go unpaid to Q convention one day and home the next?

ART AND ARTISTS.

Two portraits by Rembrandt have just been added to the British national gallery.
 The British museum has bought 8 collection of the drawings of the late George Dr Maurier. The drawings in clude the originals of many of Dr Nfaurier's best known society car toons.
 The remarkable statement is now going about that since Meissonier's death his pictures are rapidly depre- ciating in value, and only the most moderate prices are being realized for those pictures still in the hands of his widow.
 The Rembrandt society of Holland which held it's yearly meeting lately at Amsterdam, reports an expenditure ot 30,925 forins during the year upon the purchase of paintings which would otherwise have gone into the collec- tions of foreign purchasers and beer lost to the Dutch nation.

THE ADVANCE ON MALoLos.

For months past the war depart
 ments bureau of military information has been getting points, from Ameri- cans formerly resident in the Philip pines or sojourners there. Even the crumbs of knowledge picked up by the | casual globe-trotter have net been des- pised. A Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat re-
 ports that the bureau is now pretty well informed as to the region through which cur troops are advancing.
 They are bound for MaloIos, of course, the headquarters of Aguinaldos s ungrateful and stupid 'insurrection," and they won't be happy till they get there. Malolos snuggles among the foothills of a range of mountains about thirty miles from Manila It is one of the twenty to twenty-five considerable towns of tke small but rich province of Bulacan. This province has an area of 965 square miles, a population of about 230, 1000. Spurs of the Caraballo mountain range indent 1t; the wide Pampanga river flows through it. It's l. populations run all the way from 5,305 of Norzagaiay to the ,46O of San Mi guel de Mayumo. Bulacan, the pro- vincial capital, has 13.186 inhabitants, has about 2,000 stone houses, and is about twenty-five miles from Manila, Hagonoy, about twenty miles from Bulacan, has 20,120 inhabitants. Ma lolos, about half a dozen miles from Bulacan. has 14,599. Net one of these towns is a stronghold. Whatever de- lenses n1ay now exist are of recent date, hurried construction and a very primitive nature. The stone houses at Bulacan and elsewhere are likely to give our soldiers more trouble than any such extemporized Notifications 9
 The country between Manila and Ma lolos is described as flat and swampy There are great many drainage canals. The roads are abominable. All our heavy artillery will be necessarily left behind, this journey. The light pieces taken along will have to travel on muleback. It is thought at the de- partment' that the advance will be slew, at the best. No doubt is felt, however, that the column will reach MalOlos all right, and send the Aguin- aldians scampering. It is believed that they are hoping the heat and the swamps will fight effectively on their side; that they will avoid serious en- gagements accordingly, and content themselves with harassing our men as much as possible on the march.
 The siwamps are always there, the heat is increasing now from week to week. The sooner Malolos is taken, and Aguina ldo smashed, the better.

poLITENEss OF THE MExIcANs

My lady, am at your feet" is the prescribed form of salutation in Mexico from a gentleman who meets a lady, whereas if two gentlemen meet they say: q kiss your hand"
 A Mexican will never permit lady to descend the stairs alone; he takes her by the hand or offers his arm and only takes leave of her at the street dcor.
 Often in their rambles through Mex ico strangers lose their way, and if they have a slight knowledge of Spanish an appeal to d native is certain to bring courteous relief.
 The Mexican lover calls his sweet heart ''the very eyes of me" and if she rejects him he is likely to say: Since there is no help I bow before you, kiss your feet and depart"
 Even the poor laborers rarely ad- dress one another without some terms of endearment. Como estas, mi alma ?' ("How are you, my soul?'') is com mon form of address.
 An American young lady was once talking with an old Mexican gentle man and she Iaughingly said some thing about having some literary work to do. Ii was good to see the old fel- lows impressive manner as he eX claimed; "Work. Miss, such lips az yours should never mention work. You should be a queen and wear pearls as beautiful as those ipcased in your love Iv mouth" ..

greater and preferably of gradually in creasing diameter from it's contracted portion back to the powder chamber, thus providing an annular space around the shell, into which the pressure gen erated by the explosion of the eXpell ing charge may pass freely, thus ex- erting a compressing force upon the shell sufficient to prevent its bulging or tanning under the pressure eXerted behind and within it. The gun is pref erably rified throughout, except in the powder chamber the rif1ing being of uniform twist, but necessarily, because of the tapering bore, of varying depth.
 Second, I provide a torpedo having relatively a much larger amount of ex- plOsive material to it's total weight than has heretofore been employed with guns fired by a powder charge, and such projectile I preferably pro vide with projections or spiral ribs registering with the rife grooves of the gun. l also provide a detonating cartridge located on the tip of the tor pedo, surrounded by the explosive ma teriai thereof, and which is adapted, upon the striking of the torpedo against an object, to be exploded and thereby explode the torpedo.
 'sThe shell of the torpedo is open at the base, and may be made thin, as above stated because with my inn proved gun the pressure of the eXpell- ing charge within the torpedo is coun- te-fbalanced by the external pressure in the space surrounding the she'll; but the detOnator is necessarily made with a shell having sufficient strength to withstand the full crushing action of the powder charge. ."-New York Jour nal
