p.v.,.. L...oo to women.

The Oriental hotel in Manila has
long been the favorite abiding place
OF the wives OF army and navy onncers
stationed there. Naturally they have
their little, all-important set, In
their eyes the cream OF aristocracy.
This set has a rigid outside: 1t does not
include any women OF less aristocratic
position than theirs. any one whose
money is the result OF her own honor-
able iabors. There was one OF the lat
ter class OF women staying at the
Oriental hotel during the months OF
the war excitement. Miss thompson
who was the correspondent OF syndi-
cate Of American newspapers. She was
n woman OF ability. She did her work
we'll and won the respect and esteem
OF every one who knew her. sne was
universally liked. except by the OH
GERS wives. who could not condescend
to know her. They made their ATTITUDE
pronounced; they drew the social line.
on whose safe inside they congratu-
lated themselves upon being.
Miss Thompson had an unexpected
visitor one day. Admiral Dewey sent
up his card. He paid long call. he
and Miss Thompson found much that
was interesting to talk about. In the
enjoyment OF their talk they were ap-
parently obliyious that the rest OF the
Oriental hotel had gone mad. The
world had quite come to an END IN the
teapot district. with Its self-righteous
ideas Of the ntness OF things. The ad-
miraI had called on a workingwoman!
They were made to appear In the
wrong. Perhaps 1t is better to draw
a veil over the subsequent wailing and
gnashing Of teeth. the tears and rage
OF the would-be leaders OF Manila So
ciety. But Dewey was characteris-
ticalIy relentless. He rubbed In the
lesson he had given. He asked Miss
Thompson II he might lunch with her
the next day, and again the whole
Oriental hotel knew 1t and was adame.
The woman who had been Inundated
by the pettiness OF petty people was
honored by great man. And no one
can doubt that behind the iron COM
mander, with the eye Of an eagle. the
brain Of lightning. and the will OF
steel, there exists the very tender
heart OF a gentleman Of the old
school.-san Francisco Bulletin.

s,r..s. uaa.rgroa.a Chapel.

Prayer meetings are often held In the
underground galleries OF Great Brit
aims coiliery districts. but there Is
probably only one mine where an
apartment has been excavated and set
aside exclusively as a place OF worship.
This strange sanctuary is to be found
in the Myndd Newydd Colliery, about
three miles out of the town OF Swan
sea. The underground chapel dates
back for more than half century. and
every morning since its inauguration
the workers In the colliery have as
sembled together In this remarkable
and novel edifce to worship God. The
chapel is situated close to the bottom
of the shaft SO that the miners. on de-
scending the pit. can go to worship
before they proceed to their various
stations. The apartment is strangely
lacking in ornamentation and adorn-
ment. The pillars and the beams
which support the roof are Of rough
wood, and q disused coal trolley turned
on end. does duty as pulpit. The
only light In the sanctuary is given
by q Davy safety lamp hung by .
rope from the ceiling. The miners sit
upon rough wooden forms placed
across the chapel from side to side. and
the Oldest workman at the colliery
performs the duties Of pastor. He
reads a chapter from the Bible, and
then offers up prayer. asking God to
be with the men in their daily labors.
The service generally concludes with
some grand old Welsh hymn. sung
heartily by all the worshipers. with
ou. instrumental aid. The Bible. from
which the daily portion Is read. Il kept
especially for chapel use. and is placed
during the day in covered boz dxed

The experiences of the great Rus
sian artist. Vasili Verestchagin. In
painting war as II is. bear little resem-
blauce to those OF the artist who
paints In the seclusion Of his studio
or under the comfortable shelter of his
white umbrella.
There have been times when verest-

flying above him and around him;
when he has said to himself over and
over again. "Ah, yasili. your turn has
come; you will be dead this time"
But when he escaped and found him.

can guess with what relief. "Whew!
that's over: that's a good thing!"
He has had to do some lighting. too,
pretty often. When he has been on
the battlefield painting. men have
come rushing up to him wanting to
cut his throat, and then. of course. he
had to defend himself. Once in Cen
trail Asia some forty Russians were
surrounded by many times their num-
ber and had to defend themselves for
many days. verestchagin took . rife
and fought with the rest.
On one occasion. when he was
painting the figure Of dead man. the
fighting grew SO hot that he had to
leave of and fight for four days before
he could put In the legs.

About three months later Anime and

hank which we have mentioned. and
which had become their favorite re-

great intimacy with Father Seysen.

inseparable as were Philip and Anime

All at once Philip felt something
touch his shoulder. and a sudden chill
ran through his frame. In moment
his ideas reverted to the probable
cause: he turned round his head, and.
to his amazement. beheld the (sup-
posed to be drowned) pilot OF the Ter
Sch.lling. the one-eyed Schriften, who
stood behind him with n letter in his
hani. The sudden appearance OF this
malignant wretch induced Philip to
exclaim:
"Mercifui Heavens! Is 1t possible? ?"

round at the exclamation OF Philip,
covered up her face. and burst into
tears. II was not fear that caused this

say supernatural; but l had heard OF

The Batavia waited few days at

found himself at anchor in the Zuyder

WHAT LYDDITE IS.
1t is Not so Cruel as Shrapnel
Shells.

Referring to the reports that the Bo-
er generals have protested against the
use of lyddite as inhuman, the London
Graphic says: THE high explosive
thus called from the name of the small
Kentish town and gunnery center where
the experiments with it We're made is
nothing else than picric acid brought
into a dense state by fusion. Picrc
acid is a bright yellow substance free
ly used in peaceful industries for dye
ing purposes 1t is obtained by the ac-
ton of nitric acid on phenol or carbolic
acid. 1t burns very violently, and, ow-
ing to the tremendous blast produced
by the explosion, the destructive effect
of a bursting shell filled with it is some
eleven times greater than that of a
shell filled with powder.
Lyddite shell is to some extent less
barbarous than shrapnel exploded by
powder for, though widespread, its
death dealing effects are due more 10
conclusion than to the wounding
effects of the flying fragments. In
other words, in the case of a lyddite
shell bursting in a group of men, the
greater number will be killed not by
pieces of the shell. but by the blow OF
the suddenly compressed air.
