OPPOSITE TYPES.
Supplies and SieloT are of such oppo-
site types thnt it is impossible to figure
out Just which is the better man. Sup
pies is the brainy, shifty, calculating
ring general, while his opponent is n
willing, game, determined fighter of
the cyclonic order, trying to carry ev-
erything before him with u rush. lie
is a dangerous man at any style OF
work, as he proved when he knocked
out Kearns in two rounds at New
York, and his fights against George
Kerwin, the Chicago Mystery, showed
that as d knocker out, Sieloff practical
ly stood alone on the lightweight class.
When boxers of such pronounced diff
ferences in action meet the fur Is
bound to fly. Seloff will carry fight
right from the drop of the hat. Sup
pies has never broken ground from any
man he has ever faced, and If the Ger
man wants to make n hurry up fight
of it, he will find supplies n very ac
commodating young man. If, on the
other hand, Sielotf holds off he will
find that Curley Is very strong In at
tack and that the best thing to do Is
to get into the swim and try to stall
his advance. All things considered the
match will prove y great one from q
spectacular point and the ruggedness
and earnestness of both lads is n guar
antee that the bout VIII be worth go
ing long way to witness. Supplies
has written to have n training place
arranged for him so that he can do thu
last weeks training in Akron.

isro Feed wild Birds.

I'VE have found very simple way
of providing board in winter and lodg-
ing in summer for great number Of
birds. You have cnly to buy few
,cocoanuts, cut off the ends, like TAX
ing the top off an egg, which can easily
be done with a sharp chisel and q
malIet, bore holes through the sides,
put string through and knot it, and
hang the cocoanut from a creeper or;
bough. Thus for few cents you can
provide food for these lively little
birds for weeks, or rather months. :.
Last winter our cocoanuts were seldom
let alone for many moments. Birds
swarmed on them, lowering thenD
selves down by the string, and, at
last when confidence wac quite estab-
lished, flying Straight in. They
worked away at them from early morn
till dewy eve. When all the nut is
eaten, the shells make excellent nest.
ing places, and will probably be taken
possession of by the same birds that
hollow them out, if the shellseare left
out through the summer. In this
way, both board and lodging are pro-
vided on most reasonable terms, with
no extras. In the hardest weather
this food supply is always available;
and if you are away from home for q
few days you know that your little
birds will not be in want. Christian

Maryeloua Instinct of q Cat.

The marvellous instinct of an animal
is said to sometimes be a sure warn
ing of impending danger. 1t seems
to be the case of the pet cat of the
steamer City of Kingston. This ami
NAL, large yellow one OF no particu-
lar recommendation except its purr.
ing proclivities, has long been at
tached to that vessel. and not even
the most persuasive c3axing could in
ddce it to leave the confines of the
ship. It has never been known to
miss a trip. g
When the Kingston arrived in
Seattle from Victoria early Sunday
morning, for some mysterious reason
the feline went ashore, and when the
time came for the departure for
Tacoma, which resulted in the dis.
aster to the Kingston, the animal re.
fused to be coaxed aboard. Finally,
e saucer of milk proving uEavailing,
one OF the ships crew took the cat in
his arms and carried it aboard the
vessel, but just as the lines were
hauled in and the steamer was leav-
ing the dock, the sagacious puss
sprang from the Kingston to the
wharf and disappeared in q pile of
bags. 1t is now alive and the ad-
miration of all hands at Yesler wharf.

tTregches toRuq From;
One Of the Chief Glories of the Filipino
Army-obstruetive Fighting.

Although the insurgent soldiers in
the Philippine Islands have o poor
reputation as marksmen, they deserve
considerable credit for the extensive
and elaborate trenches made by them.
The hobby of rebel general seems to
be to have his men devote large pro-
portion of their time to designing and
building trenches, from which they
are ultimately driven by the Ameri-
cans. It appears to be the plan Of
the insurgent army to erect magniti-
cent barricades and plan the most
beautiful systems of trenches, only to
have them captured by the Americans
at the first charge. If the native SOL
diers could fight one-quarter as well
as they can devise and build trenches,
this Filipino war would be more seri-
GUS. As it is, the American troops
utterly disregard the trenches of the
rebels, and think nothing of charging
up to and over them, scattering the
natives like bees.
The writer never saw an insurgent
force stand it's ground in its trenches
more than few minutes after an
American charge, except at the battle
of Balangtang, near Iloilo, when sew
eral companies of the rebels managed
to hold their position for about thirty
minutes before they broke. The in
surgents had occupied these trenches
for nearly year, during which time
they had been constantly at work on
them, putting them into the best of
condition for defence. The rebel Of
fcers had all along asserted that the
United States forces would be snni-
hilated if they attacked this position.
One morning the American column
moved on the trenches at daybreak,
and after fight of thirty minutes the
rebels were obliged to leave the
trenches and run for the mountains.
The fault was not with the trenches,
but with the soldiers in them. The
