fate that seemingly awaited her, and it was this same indifference that was probably the result of saving her life.
 She made no effort to deny her con neetion with the rebel army, and seemed 10 glory in her achievements when questioned by the goyernor-gen- eral. The quick wit of the Irish blood that flowed in her veins found q ready and seorching reply for every question which the great man asked her. She was told to leave the islands, but ut. tered an immediate refusal. The gov ernor-general was more amused than angry at her refusal and bore with her for short time longer, but she was finally compelled to leave and took up her residence on British soil at Hong Kong, where she was safe from Spanish tyranny.
 Since the islands have fallen into tue hands of the American nation she has visited this country in the interest of the native government. but she has been almost unknown.
 During the days this impetuous Irish girl spent in the rebel camps she was treated with the greatest consideration The leaders of the rebellion circulated through the army the story of the French Joan of Are, and pointed to Rizars widow as another angelic being whom God had sent to lead people out of bondage into freedom. Fete days were declared in her honor not only in the rebel camps, but throughout all the vast territory controlled by the rebel government, and for time she was the ruling influence in the insurgent gov ernment.
 Could the friars have had their way her life would have paid the price of her adventures, and it was only the timely punishment by the governor-general that saved her

sUNKHAzER FLIES OF MAINE
Worse Than Jersey Mosquitoes and Kissing Hugs Have No Chance
 with Them.

Since reading in the newspapers of tbs kissing bug and his doings all the people in rural Maine have taken to capturing 1pugs and insects of all sorts and bringing the E2ee mems to town for examination by nekFna. per men and naturalists. Countless are the kinds of bugs that have been taken to Bangor in bottles, boxes and preserve liars. and the eaptors all seem to be sorely dis appointed when told that instead of the gen. uine kisser they have a moth killer, q lace winged fly, or something quite common and harmless.
 4 man came from Eeazie to Bangor the other day with feroeious-lookine bug eorked up in a preserve jar and claimed the credit of having captured the first kissing bug in that part of the country. 1t was not the famous kissing bug that he had, but na. tive bug somewhat resembling a small lob. ster with wings.
 T don't care a hang, declared the Veazie man. when told that he must try again. "These fellers kin lick the stufRn' out of Sunkhazers. and that's what none of your common bugs kin do.2
 Not many people living far away from Bangor know what q @Sunkhazer' Is like It IS a ferocious big fly that infests the flats and meadows about Sunkhaze deadwater, place in the Penobscot river wlgAe the water is slack and where millions of logs are rafted The Sunkhazers are the pest of the loggers, upon whom they feast to their hearts content. and nothing can drive them away They are four times the size of the famed mosquitoes of Jersey, and any Maine man will back one of them against dozen kissing bugs in fair standup fight. Maine folks have, probably. DO kissing bugs but so long as the Sunkhazers survive they will not feel l0nesome.-N. ', Sun

After the capture of the Tal1u forts, when the British were marching on Picking in 1860, one of the rivers became so swollen with the heavy rains that it was rendered almostimpassable While i1 this predicamenta bright idea struck one of our officers, Being aware that the Chinese generally order their cof- fins years in advance, and keep them on inc premises, and also that they are per fectly alright, he consulted with his brother officers, with the result that or ders were given to search all the houses Of the villages and collect every coffin. With the aid of few empty casks the soldiers constructed a pontoon bridge of collins sufficiently strong 10 bear the artillery, and the river was thus crossed in safety.-Golden Penny.

daughter, partially lost his eyesight and hearing by chance of the wonderful oeulist at Manila he iouneyed there to procure relief It was Rizal of whom he had heard, but at that time Rizal was suffering the punishment inflicted upon him in Mindanao, and thither the American jonrneyed. Rizal did not help the Americans eyes, but he did fall in love with the adopted daugh- ter, and when the traveller left he left the girl behind him as Rizars fianeee
 Shortly after Rizal, wishing to dis play his loyalty to Spain, asked for and was granted chance to serve as sur- geon in the Spanish army in Cuba. When he left his lonely home he took the girl with him and together they iourneyed to Manila on his way to Cuba. They reached Manila just as the rebel lion of 1S96-97 was breaking out, and was everywhere hailed as the leader of the rebel forces, although he had no hand in the opening of the rebellion. But he continued his journey toward Cuba. Seeing the influence which he still wielded among the anti-elerical party the friars elamored loudly for his arrest, and finally the governor general telegraphed to Spain to hold him and return him to Manila for trial for treason. His trial was mockery at justice. but he was condemned us d traitor and ordered to be shot.
 On the morning of the day of his execution his faneee secured permis- sion to visit him, and there in his cell, while he awaited for the arrival of his exeeutioners, a Jesuit priest pro- nonnced the ceremony that made them man and wife. In an hour the unhap- py husband and wife were parted, he to go with his exeeutioner to an ignoble and unjust death, and she to find her way to the rebel camps.
 Her password through that country in which travel of all kinds was prae- tieally prohibited by one side or the other was simply: Il am Rizafs widow" Every rebel avenue of escape was open to her, every head was bowed 1n reverence IS she passed by
