REGENERATION of VOTERS.
IL Already Exceeds That OF the Mu-
nfcipal Election.

The city clerks ONCE has for the past
few days been doing a large business in
the registration of voters. One clerk Is
kept constantly at work and two are
often necessary.
The total number OF registrations for
the spring municipal election has already
been exceeded by about $40 to date for the
coming contest. the figures being 1898
and I'M respectively. AS the number
OF registrations for the fall election In
usually about one-third greater than for
the one in the spring of the same year,
a total registration of about 1900 is ex-
pected before the books close
OF course, the greatest rush comes dur
ing the few days Immediately preceding
the closing Of the books Between ten
and fifteen clerks are usually necessary
at that time The last day the books were
open for the municipal election 200 vot-
ere were registered.
The books show that tho percentage OF
foreign-born voters In Seattle is much
less than IL fs in Eastern cities. Here II
amounts to between fifteen and twenty
per cent, while in many Eastern cities
1t Is said to reach fifty per cent or higher.

SMALLEST PEOPLE ON EARTH.
Negritos, Aborigines of the Philip
pines, Resemble Apes.

The Negritos are the aborigines of
the Philippines. Before the coming
of the 'Malays they probably occupied
all this island group and many Of the
numerous islands which lie in the
Pacific TO the southwark. Some of
them are found today in the peninsula
Of Malacca and the Andaman Islands.
In Java they have recently died out.
1t is likely that some Of them still ex-
list in the forests of Borneo and in the
interior of other large islands. Half
breed Negritos are found from India
to New Guinea. Here the Negritos
have amalgamated with the savage
tribes of Hindustan; there, with the
negro-like Papuans of Malaysia. But
everywhere the pure race is dying
out War, bitter and unrelenting,
seems to have existed for centuries be-
tween them and the invading Malays.
The latter have proved the stronger;
the Negritos have persisted, or been
driven to the depths of the forests and
the Businesses of the mountains; and
most of the land which once knew
L06n KNOWS JHeIu no uOES "A putty
of determination has prevailed, and
few of this once numerous race sur
vive.
What can be said Of them as in
dividuals? They have two claims to
notice They are race of dwarfs, the
smallest people on the face of the
earth And mentally they are the
lowest, or one of the lowest, Of the
human races; stupid in mind, degraded
in condition, forest wanderers, scarce
~ more settled than the apes-"man
apes" they are called in parts Of India.
But if deficient mentally, the Negri-
tos are largely endowed phys'.,=
says Ramon Reyes Lala, native Of
the Philippines. They can run like a
deer and climb like monkeys. In fact,
they approximate the monkeys in one
respect, since they have great powers
of movement and of grasping in the
great toe, being able to pick up minute
objects with their feet. When On
board ship they are as nimble as
monkeys, and can descend the rigging
head foremost, holding on by the toes
alone. Some Negritos are employed as
servants by the FiIipinos. Most of
them, however, dwell in their forest
retreats, where they live mainly by
hunting, though they also eat the wild
fruits of the forest, the roots OF the

CACTI IN A BOTTLE.
Will Grow Without Air or Water and
Flourish for Years

A new method of growing cacti has
been discovered in the botanical gard
ems of Berlin. 1t is so simple and
easy that no one need be without at
least one fine cactus in the sitting-room
or parlor. All that is required is a
shapely bottle, a little rich earth and
a few cactus seeds that can be bought
of any florist for a few cents. Bottles
in which creme de menthe or some of
the other cordials usually come are
we'll adapted to this purpose on &C
count of the clearness Of the glass and
the grace of their shape. Having Sc
cured the bottle, cleanse it thoroughly
and then put earth in it until the bot
tom is covered to height of about an
inch. Sprinkle this earth well, almost
soaking wet, and then throw in three
or four cactus seeds. Close the hottie
sungly with a tight-ftting cork and
seal it close with sealing wax. Tie a
strong cord around the neck Of the
bottle and hang it in a window that
the sun TSdCueS III at 1VdoI sew a.
hours every day.
In cold weather the bottle must not
be exposed 70 the air. The liVing-r0om
with a constant temperature of 20 de-
grees or more, suits the experiment
admirably. Then the entire process OF
growth can be watched with no small
interest. The opening and roofing OF
the seeds and the gradual development
of the plants will follow almost as il
by magic. Soon the cacti will be OF
such size that you can astonish your
friends by sight of them, and they vii
hardly believe you when you tell then
that these plants are growing without
any care or water.-Pittsburg Dispatch

arum, the honey of the wild bees and
other woodland products. Their
weapons are simple but effective. They
consist Of bamboo lance, a bow OF
palmwood and culver of poisoned ar
rows. 1t is an interesting fact that
the art of poisoning arrows is common
to the pigmy races, wherever found
The African dwarfs use arrows, a
puncture from which is fatal. The Ne
grltos have another way of getting
food, not agreeable to the natives Of
the open country. They will swoop
down upon the valley, steal covertly

drive them off to their strongholds in
the hills
The Negritos-or Aetas, as the Span
iards call them-live in the simplest
and most primitive fashion. They
wander to and fro, about so families
in group, obtaining shelter from
few sloping poles covered with leaves.
Sometimes they build rude huts raised
on bamboo poles, in the Malay fashion.
They have a pretense of farming,
scratching the ground with a stick and
throwing in a handful of seed; but
they seldom remain in one place long
enough to gather their slender CROP

FOUND \ LOST PATROL WAGON.
Small Boy Makes it Means OF Perse-
cution for the Cop"

Policeman Patrich Sweeney marched
along that part of seventh avenue near
Forty-eighth street which the police
regulations describe as his post" at
peace with himself and all the OBJ
sequious citizens who, in that dis
trict, recognize the justice of his rule.
He was in the middle of an estimate of
the days that must go before he is to
be a roundsman, and was we'll con-
WINGED that the time was pretty near
at hand. Just then small boy ran up
to him and, saluting with mock grav-
ity, called out:
Say, dere's a patrol Vaughn in
Forty-ate street wot is lost De folks
is goin' to smash it up if youse cops
don't perfect yer property" Sweeney
made a swing at the small boy for his
audacity, thinking he was trying to
have some fun with him.
But the boy would not go, and in
sisted that an abandoned patrol wagon
was in Forty-eighth street and in dan
ger of destruction by the people, whose
regard for that emblem of law and Or
der is none too great.
Sweeney decided to follow the lad
Turning into Forty-eighth street he
saw crowd of possibly twenty men
and women in the street, all talking
and gesticulating. But there was no
evidence of patrol wagon Sweeney
had gone too far to back out, how
ever, and he marched boldly up to the
crowd.
Move ON, youse!" he commanded
What are youse dom here?"
The crowd fell back with a murmur,
and Sweeney then got his first view of
the object of their interest. In the
center Of the street he found a small
boys wagon, about large enough for
one to ride in. It had a yellow body
and blue box, while in big gilt letters
on both sides were the words, Police
Patrol"
Sweeney got red, and the crowd
laughed.
Who owns this thing?" he de-
manded. But no one would claim title
to it. 1t was evidently lost property,
and under the regulations Sweeney
had to take it to the station.
1t was too big to carry, so Sweeney
took hold of the little wagon pole and
started down the street, the wagon
rafting at his heels. A score Of men
and small boys followed, giving advice.
wy don't youse ride?" one asked.
Wares yer prizner?" another
funny person demanded. And until
the wagon reached the station the vol
ley Of attempted jokes and an oc-
casional expression of contempt for
the police on general principles were
kept up.
An alarm for the owner Of the lost
toy was sent out.-New York Tribune.
