VALUABLE JEW WELS.
Worn in Curious Ways by Several Peeu-


 liar People.
 Jewels set in teeth are occasionally heard of, but gold and precious stones set in the human body Is fad not extensively popular A gentleman re- siding in Bombay wears a beautiful emerald, wh4ch. set in rim of gold, Is stitched by means of gold wire to the breast of the owner. Thus securely fastened, the green gem has rested un- der his shirt front for ten years. He considers it his lucky stone. Worn by certain barrister is a ring that will not come off It is a plain gold band of considerable thickness, rivet of the previous metal piercing the ring and passing through the bone Of the finger, is filed down on the opposite side. Nothing save amputation of the member would release him of the circlet. For sentimental reasons he wishes it to be his lifelong and in- separable companion. Having a de- cayed part of his instep cut away, a wealthy invalid has had the crevice filled with gold. To appear ornamep- tai the metal is shaped like star, the center boasting a large diamond and a cluster of small rubies. Stitched to the skin of his waist is the gold chain belt sported by another extravagant being. The belt is two inches broad and eighteen stitches are necessary to secure it. In front trio of fine chains dangle to the knees of the wearer, who is so proud of his decoration that he occasionally disrobes to reveal the permanent ornament to favored friends.--New York Journal.
 No cU For Volunteers.
 Though determined to increase Gen. eral Otis command, so as to provide him with 35,000 men, it is authorita- lively stated that no call for voIun- teers will be issued. and renewed con- f1dence is expressed in the ability of this force to quell the insurrection. The strengthening of the administra- tion's confidence is the result of eablegram received from General Otis indicating that he has at last found the point through which the insurgents ship their supplies, and that proper steps have been taken in cooperating with the navy to cut off the filibuster- ing expeditions sent to the Island of Luzon by friends >of the Filipinos in Hongkong.
 Under the order issued, increasing the companies of infantry to 128 men each, General Otis will be provided with force of 29,644 men. In order to increase his strength to 36, ,000 men it has been determined to increase the strength of each company, troop and battery in the Philippines to 150 men. Colonel Thorlas Ward, assistant adiu- tant general, in charge of recruiting, expects that the 5000 recruits called for will be enlisted and on their way to San Frar .isco within ten days.
 While the administration expresses the utmost confidence in the ability of General Otis, with the regulars, to cope with the situation, it is evident that the sentiment is growing that the president should cali for volunteers in order to provide that officer with at least 5000 men to begin the campaign at the commencement of the rainy season.

A Soldiers Tales.

From the Minneapolis (Kan) Mes senger: During the first engagement while the company was firing at will into the woods ahead, a forlorn water buffalo, the Philippine beast of burden, meandered into the rice field directly in front of the line. The writer imme- dlately directed his fire toward the buf- ralo, with no apparent result Alter ward, during Hull in the firing, we shamefully confessed to having wasted our strength in this ignoble manner, and were surprised to learn that every man had done likewise At all events the beast made good it's escape. for 1t patiently plodded ahead until the timber swallowed it up. During the charge at Caloocan a frenzied pig of diminutiye size dashed from beneath bamboo hut and apparently judging that all the commotion was for his benefit. thought best to retire As the pig dashed past the writer we gently | assisted with a shove from the butt of our gun and thought no more of it for some time. Afterward, upon glane- ing to the rear, we saw four or five 1 soldiers in hot pursuit of the same poor little swine. 1t is laughable, even in times of peace, to watch another man chase hog, but when men forsake their places, forget the roar of conflict, the hum of bullets, the shouts of the victors and the walls of the wounded, to grap- Die with an eight-pound shoat, the scene becomes ludicrous in the ex- treme. We took the trouble to learn that the pig got away. At Calooean the rebels had mounted two monstrous muzzle-loading guns captured in for mer time from the Spanish. They at tempted to fire one of these with dreadful results. The Americans col leeted the remains of twenty rebels killed by the explosion of the gun. The insurgents had not the courage to fire the remaining cannon, which was loaded and primed when Caloocan was captured. The natives had loaded the gun with complete curiosity shop. The cannon was filled with scissors. knives, coal, pieces of brick, nails, bolts, thermometer, horseshoe, car link, piece of rubber hose, and. to crown it all, large quantity of hoop iron had been driven into the muzzle so tightly that it was necessary to file it before the charge could be drawn. A double dose of powder was found, and also quantity of dynamite. No wonder the other cannon exploded.
 Strength of Horse.
 4 horse will travel 400 yards in four and one-half minutes at Q walk, 400 yards in two minutes at trot, 400 yards in one minute at a gallop. The usual work of one horse is taken at i 22, 300 pounds raised one foot per minute for eight honrs per day. horse will carry 250 pounds twenty five miles per day of eight hours. An average draught horse will draw 1.600 pounds twenty-three miles per day on level road, weight of wagon includ- ed. The average weight of horse Is 1000 pounds and his strength Is equivalent to that of five men.-At- lanta Constitution.

STRANGE TACTICS OF A LOON
Tts Dependence Upon She Wind to Assist
 Its Flight.

w @N~N-N
 It's Flight.
 I have shot at looms a great many times on the lakes of northern Wis consin, and on Lake Superior, and have never known them to attempt to escape from danger unless there was a wind of which they could take ad- vantage in their attempts to rise, states a contributor. I remember once, in company with my brother, trying to secure loon as a specimen for mount ing. The bird was in a lake about three-fourths of mile. long and about 200 yards wide in it's narrowest part. My brother was secreted at one end of the lake, and I in a canoe kept the bird in motion, trying to get it within range of my brothers gun, and giving 1t a chance whenever a chance offered. Although harried for two or three hours it never once attempted to rise from the water. There was a slight breeze, if I mistake not, but not enough to be of any use in the looms attempt to escape by flight. During the chase the loon swam a distance of 200 yards or more under water, repeatedly, with out appearing above the surface. Lake Superior fishermen tell me they have caught them in their nets at great depths. Among those with whom I have talked on the subject it is be- lieved that loon cannot rise from the water without the aid of wind blow Ing directly opposite to the line of light
 A Language of 300 Words.
 Tn the more inaccessible parts of the Sierra Madre mountains. in northern Mexico, live a curious people called the Tarahumaris Many of them dwell in caves, but they have also small Villages, all of which are situated about 5000 feet above sea level. The Tarahumaris are small in body, but possessed of much endurance. Their only food is maize, and they manufac- ture drink called teshuin from the same cereal. Their language is lim- ited to about 300 words, and they can- not count beyond ten.

The japanese have a custom OF cele-

general holiday. This aesthetic peo-
pie also regard the grouping of flowers
as such fine art that they frequently
require their young women to take
two-year course simply in the arrange
ment of flowers. Both the Chinese and
the japanese have a true idea of the
value Of each blossom, leaf and stem
In the final effect. Each twig, each
branch, is given its place in the study;
no blossom or leaf must be crowded;
each instead must stand forth in its
own beauty Of form and color. Stiff
ness, close masses and all geometric
designs are avoided as expressing
everything that is inartistic. Each va
riety of flower also requires different
style and size Of vase, as well as an
entirely different treatment in the ar
angement.-Baltimore Herald.
