A pathetic detail of the bloody
battle picture at Manila is that of
the Ygorotes. Dispatches say
that 700 of these naked savage
warriors armed only with bows and
arrows, stood facing the artillery
fire of the Americans. The slaugh-
ter among them must have been
terrific.

A Beauty of the Arctic,

There is beautiful bird called the
rosy gull, very few specimens of which
exist in any museum, and whose entire
life is spent in the immediate neigh
borhood of the eternal ice that sur
rounds the north pole. A paper de-
scribing these curious birds was read
at the recent meeting of the American
Association in Boston by Mr.. John
Murdoch. They follow the advance of
the ice towards the south as winter
comes on, keeping near the loose edge
of the floating pack ice, and then re-
treat with 1t toward the north when
the summer sun begins to rise high
upon the Arctic circle. The bird is
small and of a deep rose color, whereas
all other gulls are white.

CHOATE'S CAREER AS LAWYER

There Is one notable feature OF Rufus
Choate's career as lawyer that his
distinguished nephew omitted to dwell
upon in his Grafton, doubtless for rea-
sons Of propriety. This was his in
sidious power over a jury, which was
something that the jurors themselves
never quite understood. This power
was well illustrated by the remark Of
hard-headed old farmer who was
one OF jury that gave Ave verdicts
in succession for Choate's clients once
upon time. II understand, sir, that
you are a relative OF Lawyer Choate,"
said this Juror subsequently to one of
Choate's nephews, "and want to tell
you that / was not swayed or iniu-
enced in the least by his flights OF
fancy but consider him a very lucky
lawyer, for there was not one Of those
cases that came before us where he
wasn't on the right side"

A Diving Snider.

There is nothing new in the diving
bell. Long before man thought he in
vented it, the water spider knew all
about 1t. The water spider shins down
a reed, dragging his diving bell with
him. and anchors 1t under water on a
level keel, so that the air 1t contains
keeps the water out. When this air
becomes foul the spider swims to the,
top, captures a bubble with fiirt of
its tail and carries 1t down to the bell
for future reference. There the spider
lives in snug comfort and no storm dis
turbs his lowly home.

TESTING THE QUALITY OF AIR,
An idea as to Its Purity May he De-

An idea as to Its Purity May he De-
rived by Using Smoke or Peppermint.
Once year is quite often enough to
have the plumbing tested for the es-
cape of sewer gas. There are two
methods of doing this-the pepper
mint test and smoke test. The latter
is regarded as the most absolute,
though both are used. When such a
test is made the regular escapes for
the water are plugged up and smoke
is pumped into the pipes from the roof.
For this purpose there is special
n force pump. In this little furnace
are put old rags or discarded Christ
mas trees. or anything which will make
a fine smudge. AS soon as these are
in good smoking condition the smudge
is forced down into the pipes and a
tour of examination is made. II the
smoke escapes at any point II can be
detected at once. The peppermint test
is made from the roof also. The es-
capes are plugged up and then about
a pint of peppermint oil is poured in
the roof pipe, followed by bucket of
hot water. The odor of the pepper
mint is so penetrating that 1t will
quickly escape at any defective spot.
But the man who handles the pepper
mint has to stay on the roof until the
examination is complete or the whole
house will be permeated with the odor.

WHENCE MIsTLEToE COMES.
TIE Christmas shrub In Parasite
aud Grows High Up I'm
TreetOps.

Mistletoe for centuries has been ono
of the most important factors in Yule-
tide decorations, its use dating back
as far as the days of the Druids The
hanging of the mistletoe on Christmas
eve, between II and IL o'clock, in many
homes is the beginning of the seasons
merrymalSing. The bough is hung in
place where there will be no obstacle
to passing under it, and the penalty
for being caught beneath its branches
ali know
The mistletoe of the Drulds Is viscum
album. 1t is a true parasite, existing
on the sap of other trees, and never
at any time is it in contact with the
soil. 1t grows freely on apple, pear and
plum trees; on poplars, thorns, ma
pies and Eastwood, and rarely upon
the oak. The propagation is by the
seeds. These are covered with trans
lucent, gummy substance, They are
placed in position by birds, which, in
trying to rid their beaks of the sticky
seeds, rub them on the bark. The
seeds, which are deposited on the east
or north side of the trees, grow more
rapidly than those to the south or
west.
Some idea of the quantity of mistle-
toe that is used annually in London
may be had when it is known that
from the two counties of Worcester and
Hereford alone more than 100 tons are
shipped each season. Much also finds
its way from Normandy and from
France to the London market. Large
quantities are imported yearly to New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, and
much reaches Chicago.
The mistletoe generally seen in the
market here is cousin to the Euro
pean species, and is known as phora-
dendron favescens. 1t is smaller,
both in berries and leaf, 1t is found
in great quantities in New Jersey and
southwark through the Carolinas, New
Mexico and Indian territory.-Chicago
