Gold in the Philippines.

Gold is found at an endless number
of points in the Philippines, almost

rocks carrying some dust, and aurifer-

several points in LuZon and in Minda-

consider the gold resources of the
Philippines comparable with those of
the Carolinas and Georgia, rather than
with those of Colorado and California.
The resources of Mindanao are not so
unknown as many suppose. Competent
experts made examinations, years ago,
in each of the auriferous provinces,
Misamis and Surlgao, and neither of
them reported encouraging results.
Great caution should he exercised in
seeking to develop gold mining in the
Philippine slands.-George Il. Beck

A GronEe Cock Fight.

had nearly lost hope of bagging n
chicken and had turned a shoulder to
the breeze, says Maurice Thompson in
the Atlantic, when something whis-
tied, or chirped, close behind me. At
the same time wings fluttered, and
upon turning. | saw cock grouse
not more than six feet from me. When
he struck the ground he erected all of
his feathers and looked at me wildly.
| had twisted myself and was turned
but half around. | saw that he was
going to fly-I must shoot instantly
or not at all. 1t was an awkward
situation. Then new feature was
added. Flying like bullet came an
other cock and struck the first, where
upon the two fought like savages,
tumbling on the grass, striking with
their wings, pecking. kicking, chatter
ing Evidently they were bent upon
killing each other if possible. l let
drive an arrow at them and missed.
Shot again and knocked one over.
The other flew away in crazy haste
On my way back to camp l passed
through a scrub-oak grove on low,
sandy ridge lying at right angles to
the river, and in the midst of it found
a pond literally swarming with ducks
of different species. They must have
sought the sheltered place TO avoid
the chill and worry of the wind. 1t

well out from shore, so | did not
shoot, as every arrow would have
been lost.

A lady who was very much fatigucd
with the responsibilities Of her home
and family, yielded to the insistence
Of friend and went away from home
for a rest Of three days, but at the end
of that time, being still earnestly so-
licited to stay, she telegraphed home:
rs every one well?" Her husband
promptly replied: "Yes. Why7" She
was in a household where late hours
we're the rule, so she sat up till mid
night, and then went to a telegraph
station nearby, and sent this truly
feminine message: Because" 1t was

at two a. M, and acted as restraint
upon future telesraphic witticisms on
his part.-Youths' Companion.

The head of the household was late
getting home. He was very late. 1t
was long past midnight. Indeed, the
little clock on the hall mantel had just
struck 3 o'clock when he came walk
ing in. He had been out with the
boys, and his wife reproached him.
"Why, it's early yet. It's not late"
Just then the bedroom clock sounded
one, two three.
The wife looked at him with grim
rebuke. He caught her eye and jerked
out this reply:
"Well, now, If you want to believe
that blamed dollar-and-a-half clock be-
fore your dear husband, have moth

AS we jog along, or walk by turns,
we come TO Buckingham street, and
looking up at Alfred Jingle's lodgings
says n grateful word of Mr.. Pickwick,
says Kate Douglas Wiggin in the At
lantic. We tell each other that much
of what we know of London and Eng
land, when we come TO Ii, seems to
have been learned from Dickens.
Deny him the right TO sit among the
elect, if you will; talk OF his tendency
to farce and caricature; call his hu-
NOR low comedy, and his pathos ba-
thos-though you shall say none Of
these things in my presence unchal-
lenged; but the fact remains that every
child, in America at least, knows
more of England-its almshouses, debt
ors' prisons and law courts, its vii
lagos and villagers, its beadles and
cheap-jacks and ostlers and coach
men and Boots, its streets and lanes,
its lodgings and inns and landladies
and roast beef and plum pudding, its
ways, manners and customs-knows
more of these things and thousand
others from Dickens's novels than
from all the histories, Biographies,
biographies and essays in the Ian
guage. Where is there another novel
list who has so peopled a great city
with his imaginary characters that
there is hardly room for the living
population, as one walks along the
streets?

Not supersuuIous

Even ancient superstitions are not
respected by the modern woman of
fashion. She has herself photographed
in her wedding dress before she is mar
ried, has her trousseau marked with
her new initials instead of her maiden
name, and otherwise flies in the face
of traditions which, to her grandmoth-
er, were sacred because of their very
antiquity, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
At the present moment the most fa-
vored gem for mounting as a charm
is the opal, the stone banned for years
as an omen of bad fortune to the wear

Lady Georgiana Grey, who just cele-
brated her Tooth birthday, attributes
the wonderful preservation of her fac

the calm which she has always been
careful to practice, She considers agi-

To young kinsman Of hers who vis-
tied her the other day she expressed
her earnest hope that he would not
enter upon a career of politics. ut is
so agltatlng, my dear" she said.
"Why, il my poor brother had kept
clear OF politics | firmly believe he
would have been alive today" The
brother referred to was the famous
third Earl Grey, who was long prom
inent member Of Whig cabinets.

The singhalese children are said to
be more beautiful than those of any
other race on the four continents, and
some of the little girls, even of the
very lowest caste, are irrcsistibly
pretty as they run before you in the
streets to beg; they cry out in the
sweetest and most plaintive OF voices,
touching the stomachs to signify hun
ger in a way that would be awkward
and vulgar in any other being, but in
them It is so winsome that, before you
know II, you sacrifice a rupee to the
bad cause OF encouraging them in beg
ging-knowing quite well that all they
want is a good opportunity to pick
your pocket for more.-Outing.
