HARDY FILIPINO BUFFALoES.
Have Immense Strength, and wild Ones
Are Constantly Caught

Have Immense Strength, and wild Ones
Are Constantly Caught
The wild butfaloes of the Philippines
come from the interior, where many
natives spend their time in capturing
and tanning them. 1t takes long time
to tame the wild creatures and break
them into service. Some old bulls alb
solutely refuse to be tanned, and they
show their resentment for capture up
to the time of their death. Most of
those in service are born and bred in
captivity, and the young calves are
very easily trained for use. Still
enough of the wild caraboas are caught
every year to keep the stock from de-
generating. They take to civilized life
much more readily than our American
bison, resembling in this respect the
true water buffalo of India. The
strength of these animals is marvellous.
In respect to size, strength and pom
derousness they resemble the elephant
more than any other creature. They
simply haul anything that is hitched
behind them, and it is the shaft or
traces that break If the load cannot be
moved. Across all sorts of rough and
miry country they rnll the load, al
though they have not the sure footing
OF the mule in climbing steep and
rough mountains and hills, they are
better in the soft, miry lowlands which
compose so large a part of the Philip
pines. When angered and running
away, they dash across the country
with their heavy load, as If it were
so much light. flimsy cotton. Not
only are they then regardless of what
is behind them. but also of what may
rear itself in front. Be it river,
fence, ditch or jungle, CIR another
cart. the maddened animHl plunges
blindly through or across it, and never
halts until disabled or its anger has
evaporated. In the latter case 1t then
suddenly becomes as meek and docile
as before. If whipped for its misdeeds
its meek eyes seem to ask why 1t is
punished and they look as innocent as
those of n child or deer. Scientific

FILIPINo MOTHERS ARE KIND.
Their Ruling Passion Is Their Love for
Their Boy BAbies

Their Boy Babies.
She Is like no one else in the world,
this Filipino woman, writes the Manila
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. From the white mans
standpoint she is least like woman
OF any feminine creature. She will
work for you, sell you things, and
treat you politely, but beyond that the
attitude of her life, as it is presented
10 you, is as inscrutable as bolted
door. You can get we'll enough ac-
quainted with her husband to detest
him cordially, but the nature of the
woman is as hard to fathom as
sheet of Chinese correspondence. 1t is
never common sight to see a mother,
who believes she is alone, playing with
her baby. A young native woman was
making love to her first man child.
The two were in the shack next to
mine, but the windows were together.
She had the little fellow in a corner
and was kneeling before him in a per-
feet ecstasy of motherhood. The baby
could not have been more than several
months old, and the mother was per-
haps 16. She would bend her body far
back, with hands outstretched; and
then gradually sway closer, closer.
while the baby very noisy and happy
In his diminutive way, shrank back
into the corner and showed his bare
red gums. And then the mother sway
ed at last very near, she would snatch
her naked bundle of brown babyhood
and toss him into the air. And there
would be great crowings and strangled
laughter from the infant and low mur-
murings of passionate worship from
the woman. Then she placed her face
close to the head of her son and whis-
pered wonderful secrets in a voice
strangely soft and tender, such as you
would not think could come from this
smileless creature of the river banks.
l watched, and the greatness of the
mother heart was laid bare before me,
and now better impressions came
where false ones had been-and | re-
membered she was woman. Rapt and
ardently interested, l watched, leaning
witlessly out of the window The wo-
man saw me. The sullen, implacable
stare came back. She snatched up the
child and disappeared. She bathes in
the river unconscious of the passing
white man, but he must not see the
woman's love for her first-born.

Tho Power OF Imaginatiou.

Stories illustrating the power OF i'm
sgination are many. Here is a new
one. 1t comes from recent number
lates an interesting experiment made
by Mr.. Slosson with the view of dem
onstrating how easily this faculty Of
Imagination may be called into play.
In the course of popular lecture, Mr..
Slosson presented before his audience
a bottle which he uncorked with elab-
crate precautions. and then. watch In
hand. asked those present to indicate
the exact moment at which a peculiar
odor was perceived by them. Within
fifteen seconds, those Immediately IT
front OF him held up their hands, and
within forty seconds, those at the
other end of the room declared that
they distinctly perceived the odor.
There was an obstinate minority,
largely composed of men. who stoutly
declared their inability to detect any
odor, but Mr.. Slosson believes that
many more would have given in hal
he not been compelled to bring the ex-
pertinent to close within a minute
OF opening the bottle, several persons
in the front rank finding the odor 30
powerful that they hastily quilted the
room. The bottle contained nothing
but distilled water 1t would be inter
estlng to know the effect OF the ex-
pfanation on the audience, but this
part OF the story Is left to the imagina-
ton OF the reader.

which have not vet been made public,
the report is not as interesting as. ex-

field guns, which is dismissed with par
agraph stating that the facts can be
found in an appendix. The ordnance blI-
