''I am glad to see that the War De.
partment has finally decided not to
order our Krag rifle ammunition put
up in clips, like the Mauser cart
ridges, remarked an ex-volunteer Off
Ger. "The idea was that the clips
would enable a soldier to load his

ting in the cartridges one at time,

shoots too fast as it is. In the heat

milton when they have magazine rifles
in their hands. The impulse to blaze
away at top speed is next to irresis-
tible, especially when a fellow is a
little scared, and that, of course,
means the worst kind of marksman-
ship. II is not the number of cart
ridges that are fred, but the number
of bullets that find billet that tells
the tale, and 1 am confident that the
averages are much better with single
shotgun tha2 with a repeater. Look
at the Beers, for example. It is ad-
mitted that their Workmanship has
been Ehenomenally accurate, and tits
we'll known that the majority of their
sharpshooting force is armed with
single-shot German rifle. I have
talked with a good many army officers,

General Bates Waits Two Hours While
Dato Changes His Trousers.

General Bates Waltb Two hOuNh WhAAe
Dato Changes His Trousers.
The most amazing thing about a
Philippine Moro is his trousers. II
he is of any station, or has any money,
they are made of silk, and the more
colors and the brighter they are, the
better. l have seen red, green, yell
low, white and black all in one rair.
and the greens and reds are no soft,
subdued affairs; they are the most
violent and vehement things in the
color line. 1T is the fit of them that
is the wonder, though. II they were
of the right shade of brown, you
couldn't tell that there were any
trousers. Nothing so tight ever was
contrived by any sartorial artist who
uses the English language. But for
one thing the conclusion would be
irresistible that they are made on the
wearers, and worn Off; that is, that
sometimes they are changed. General
Bates once waited about two hours
for Dato, with whom he had some
business, to change his trousers, and
those two hours were filed with Ian
guage and strange sounds within the
house of the Dato. But at the end of
them there was the demonstration
that the trousers could be changed,
although the mystery Of their con-
structlon was increased.
Moro women wear trousers, also,
but they go to the other extreme.
Each trouser leg is big enough to
make sacks for four hundred pounds
of bran. Each woman dyes the
himsy silk of which she makes her
trousers to suit herself. I saw
some that were seven or eight colors,
the different dyes running in uneven
streaks around. The women wear
very tight waists, but the men usually
leave their jackets unbuttoned, dis
playing their brawny chests. If
man is a howling swell, his jacket is
embroidered all over with prayers
and other remarks in the Moro
tongue. Sometimes the women twist
a bolt or two of gauzy, gaudy stuff
into big loop and throw it over one
shoulder. .-Ainslee' Magazine.

water Cress valuable as a Food.

A native Of Great Britain, the small,
weedy-looking plant known as water
cress has been naturalized in this
country. 1t grows near water courses
and sparkling springs, and its pleas
ant, pungent taste in early spring is
as agreeable as it is healthful.
1t is said that upon reaching his
native isle, after his tour around the
world, Sir Joseph Banks asked the
first thing for dish of watercress.
He was enthusiastic over its blood
purifying qualities. Furthermore, he
gave a medal to the man growing the
largest amount of water cress for the
London market-regarding him as a
public benefactor
Water cress is largely and profta-
bly, cultivated in many places near
New York City "Many farmer gets
more money from the water cress on
the margin of brook running through
his farm than from his year of hard
labor with corn, hay orpotatoes."
The seed is sown about the middle
of August, a given area in many cases
(if one be near the markets of Phila-
delphia or New York City, will pay
six or eight times more than any other
vegetable. One enthusiast insists
that where a regular plantation, as
for cranberries, is prepared, and irri-
CATION used at pleasure, $4,000 or
$4,000 may be realized from a single

The Needle Woman of old.

How much gayer the world would
be il women Of leisure still dressed
their husbands as they used to do in
the early days Of more than thoT-
sand years ago, when they wrought
their surcoats with their arms, or with
terrifying designs, in gold and scarlet
and finely stained linen thread, with
curious lions and birds and fabulous
beasts, with stars and crescents and
chains and wreaths, so that the
knights went out the envy Of their
enemiesl Their capture was the cap
ture of fine treasure of scarlet, and
the daughters Of other knights from
far and near were sent to be taught
the arts of the needle by those ladies'
whose achievement was most in evil
denee and most admired.

The Rude Dashing of Hopes Experienced

Is the poetry editor in?"
The tall, pale-faced, intellectual

hesitatingly in the doorway as he put
the question. A stout, well-fed, we'll

The stout, well-fed, well-groomed
man eagerly snatched up the bundle
of manuscript and turned over the
pages like man in a play who is
searching for a missing will in a moth

the intellectual looking man enthu-
siastically by the hand.

full of emotion, "I pray you be seated.
