people OF the islands to acquire the use OF

Upon all officers and employees OF the

are accustomed to require from each other.
All Pledges Kept.

Manila on the 18th of August. 1885, con-
cluded with these words: This city, Its IN
habitants, its churches. and religious Wor-
ship, it's educational establishments and its
private property of all descriptions, are
placed under the special safeguard OF the
faith and honor of the American army.
II believe that this pledge has ben faith

peace and prosperity to all the people of the
Philippine Islands, I charge this commits
sion to labor for the full performance Of this
conscience of their country, in the firm hope
that through their labors all the inhabitants
of the Philippine Islands may come to look
back with gratitude to the day when God
gave victory to American arms at Manila
and set their land under the sovereignty and
the protection Of the people of the United
States.'
Amnesty Proclaimed.
That all might share in the regeneration
of the islands and participate in their gov

military governor of the Philippines, to is
sue proclamation of amnesty, which con-

Signs of Treachery.

In the latter part of May another group
of representatives came from the insurgent
leader The whole matter was fully dis
cussed with them and promise of acceptance
seemed near at hand. They assured our
commissioners they would return after con-

AS result Of the views expressed by the
first Tagalog representative favorable to the
plan Of the commission, it appears that he
was, by military order Of the insurgent
leader, stripped of his shoulder straps, dis
missed from the army and sentenced to
twelve years Imprisonment.
The views of the commission are best set
forth in their own words:

we are now engaged was unavoidable by us

Miss Elizabeth Alden Curtis, the
talented niece of United States Attor-
ney General Griggs, and one OF the
latest versifiers of the Rubaiyat, has
a penchant for scientific pursuits, and
takes great pleasure in mountain
climbing, forest searching and geolo-
giving. says the Philadelphia Post.
Last summer, while rusticating at
Lake George, she went walking with
party of friends, chiefly college men
and women, and came across some of
the beautiful minerals which abound
in that district. They picked out
number of specimens which they car
ried back to the hotel. Here they ex-
hibjted their treasure-trove to the
other guests, more especially piece
of rose quartz, in which were many
flakes of plumbago. Miss Curtis, after
explaining, left the veranda, giving
the quartz to benevolent looking,-
specialized old lady. She had scarcely
departed when the latter, who had
been scratching the specimen with her
scissors, broke out: THAT girl Is
either fooling us or else she is crazy.
Plumbago, indeed! 1t is nothing but
an old stone with some black pencil
lead in it,"

Born Among the BulIrushes.

There is a variety of grebe (colym-
bus minor) which matches its young on
a regular raft. Its nest is mass Of
strong stems of aquatic plants closely
fastened together. These plants con-
tain a considerable quantity of air in
their cells and set free gases in the
process of decaying. The air and the
gases imprisoned in the plant make
the nest lighter than water. The bird
usually sits quietly on its eggs, but il
any intruder approaches or any dan
ger is feared the mother plunges one
foot in the water, and. using it as a
paddle, transports her floating nest
to a distance, often dragging along with
it sheet of water plants. A natur-
alist who frequently watched this re-
markable removal says: THE whole
structure looks like little floating is

and blood could contain our love?
No; we belong to each other for al
ways, and Here comes our lunch,
and you will have to eat It,"
And he did eat it, cheered by the
sunshine of her eyes and the music
Of her voice. And after lunch they
sat up in one Of the balconies and
watched the boats go down the grimy
but sunlit bosom of Mother Thames,
for the hotel looked out upon the river.
And Alan smoked. and they made
plans for the future. Where they
would go, and what they would do,
and what they would see, together, to-
gether, together always. And they
talked of the folly of married men and
women who go their separate ways,
not recognizing the divinely blessed
link between husband and wife. And
when they rose to go they knew that
they were nearer to each other than
they had ever been before. 1t had
been a golden afternoon, although now
the sun had gone from the river, and
the mist was rising little. Still, as
Joyce said, mo mist can blot the sun
out forever" She meant 1t as an allie
CORY, and as an allegory Alan under
stood it.
And then they drove home again to-
gether and that evening Alan spent
quietly, doing a little work which was
necessary, seeing that he had spent a
good many hours doing nothing but
making love to Joyce. And on the
morrow he had forgotten the strange
turn that the woman had given him.
Nothing happened during the next
fortnight, which went all too slowly
for him. until his wedding day. On
the contrary, each day his heart be-
came lighter, and he looked forward
each day to that which would see the
contamination of his dearest desires.
And SO the wedding day came, and
Alan forgot everything but that the
sweetest woman in the world was 60
ing to belong to him from that day
forward forevermore. His responses
rang out clear and fluent, as did hers.
He forgot Hutchinson and Hutchin-
sons enigmatic prophecy-that there
might be a strange wedding guest
though he could not have known that
Hutchinson had changed his mind, and
that there would be no strange we'd
ding guest that day.
He forgot everything, save that the
time was coming nearer and nearer
when the carriage door would be closed
behind him and Joyce, and he would
whisk her off, his own dear bride. And
it is no exaggeration to say that the
sun had never shone on two happier
people than Alan and Joyce Macken-
