Driving tho Carabao.

The American soldier is equal to ali
sorts of transportation problems; but
the strangest one he has yet had to
meet is presented by the ordinary
beast OF draught in the Philippine
Islands, the water-buffalo. This ami.
NAL is called the carabao in the
Philippines, and the name (pro.
nounced carribow) is retained by our
soldiers; but the Philippine carrabao
does not differ greatly from the com.
mon buffalo of India, China and other
Oriental countries.
R. H. Little, a correspondent oi
the Chicago Tribune, says that the
carabao is slower than camel and

round the court train is effective.
Chiffon frills also trim the corsage at
throat and the sleeves at wrist. Across
the draped front of the corsage runs a
garland of orange blossoms.
The quaint touch impaired by the
fichu seems to be in high favor for
bridemaid gowns. Here, for instance,
is such frock in white Liberty satin,
with yoke IN white silk guipure and
fichu in white chiffon frilled all round.
AT the waist is broad sash with long
frilled ends in lily green chiffon.
Another model for bridemaid's
gown has its fichu in white chiffon
also, but edged with lacn. Soft white
satin is the material of this frock, the
skirt of which has a deep shaped
founce edged with chiffon frills and
headed by several bands of white lace
insertions.
The no-collar vogue appears i'll
third bridemaid frock model. This
also displays the bolero, without which
so few costumes of whatever sort are
seen nowadays. The bolero is cream
colored guipure embroidered in dead
gold; the under blouse, which, finished
with the finest of frills at the throat,
does away with the necessity of col
lar, is in killed lily green crepe de
chine.

A Grave Mans Ge entleness.

The Army and Navy Journal gives
a touching incident, which shows how
gentle nature may exist beneath the
sternness which at times reckors not
the life OF men while in the pursuit of
victory.
The late Commander James ". Car
lin was in command of the Vandalia,
at Apia, Samoa, during the terrible
storm Of March Is, 1889.
One evening, some years afterward,
on retiring to his room while visiting
his sister. he found a mouse that had
fallen into basin of water, and was
struggling for his life.
''There was agony and defiance in
that little fellows eye," said the
Commander, speaking of it the next
day. "As 1 gazed on that helpless
little creature 1 thought of that terri
BILE night on the Yandslia, and going
to the open window, l gently emptied
the contents of the basin. l didu't
dry him with my towel, but I saved
his life" the Commander added.

The Cause of His Anxiety.

While Archbishop Trench was Dean
of Westminster he delegated Canon
Cureton to preach at the Abbey on a
certain saints day, says Pearson's.
On such days the boys of Westmin-
ster School atten led service, and after
service had the rest of the day as a
holiday. While Mr.. Cureton, on the
morning o: the day he was to oficiate,
was looking over his sermon at the
breakfast table, his son asked in a
tone vibrating with anxiety:
"Father, is yours long sermon to-
day?'
No, Jimmy, not very"
''But how long? Please tell me-"
"Well, about twenty minutes, I
should say. But why are you SO anx-
fcus to know?"
Because, father, the boys say they
will thrash me awfully if you are more
than balf an hour."

more obstinate than mule, and has q

He "has but one hope, but one am,
bition in life, and that is to lie down
in puddle of water with just his
nose and horns sticking out" In
doing this he will, if he car, also give
bath to all the supplies loaded Oh
the bull-cart which he is drawing.
Consequently a wild commotion
rules along the wagon-train when it
approaches a stream which has to be
forded. The soldiers, who are walk.
ing behind the carts as guards, lay
aside their rifles, aud begin to belabor
each animal and objurgate him in
three languages-English, Spanish
and Tagalog. The Chinese drivers
jump off the carts and also pound the
poor carabao, yelling in Chinese.
AS the middle of the stream is
reached the excitement grows. The
carabao begins to stretch his neck,
and bend his knees, and grunt-sure
signs that be intends to lie down.
"Hi there!" yell the soldiers.
"Chop- chop! Pronto! Git out of

Possibly all this may get the cara

down, but this is unusual good for
tune. To keep him in good trim, the

Where the Stale Eggs Go.

BY saying stale eggs is meant those
that are not strictly fresh or that have
been preserved for very long time.
Many of the eggs that belong to this
class are used by bakers, not only for
the yolks, but for the coloring matter.
1t is estimated that 40, 900, 900 are
used by calico printers, and another
100000 900 go to numerous photo
graphic supply establishments, book
binders, glove manufacturers and
leather finishers. This estimate may
be exaggerated somewhat, but it gives
an idea of the large extent to which
such eggs are used.

There is prospect that Curriers'
testaurant,on Fulton street, New York,
may be converted into playhouse,
where continuous vaudeville will hold
forth. Merchants in the neighborhood
and their clerks are having heated dis
cussions over the probabilities of sue
cess or failure of the enterprise. The
idea is to give performances during the
day, with especial attention to the
lunching hour-say from ~ to 2:30-
when tables will be plentifully sup
piled with the best that the market af-
fords. A citizen can pay 81 at the door
and not only obtain ali excellent meal
but see good show while eating.

said the learned professions" are

Thence the caravan went to Damas-

Little girls dresses are not gener-
ally cut with skirts in shape. This is
done only when the skirt is entirely
pleated in narrow, lingerie pleats,
which are stitched down about one
third of the skirt, and then allowed to
fall loose, giving the necessary full
ness to the lower part.
Dresses are shorter than they were
last season. There has been some
attempt made to introduce trimmings
at the extreme edge of the skirt, but

understand either the prin -ioles Of 2 re-

political manifestations of a government
which seems to have refused most . ( the

which closed its negotiations by in
vadiug British territory. In my opinion,
the English-speaking races are the exact
opposite of the Beers, because they are
among the best colonzers of the world
when savage and uncivilzed territory
has TO be reclaimed. No greater proof of
this could have been given than the
splendid outburst of loyalty al home and
the heroism in the field, which every
British colony has so unanimously dis
played. That is the good which has
come to Great Britain out of the evil
