III. Was Indeed Absent-Mtnded.

Judge Eawley of the United States
circuit court related recently from the
bench a good story at the expense Of
a distinguished lawyer and United
States senator, whose name was not
mentioned. This prominent member
OF the bar was very absent-minded at
times. One morning he was on his
way to court in a great hurry, and
happening to overtake a friend, re-
marked: II dressed in such haste this
morning that forgot my watch" A
little further on he said: Il wonder
if have time to go back and get it,"
and as he spoke he pulled out his watch
from his pocket. "No, have not time"
ne concluded. after consulting the dial,
and he walked on. Nearing the court
house he hired a messenger to go for
the watch, paying him a dollar for the
service. The messenger returned with
the information that the timepiece
could not be found, whereupon the
lawyer exclaimed, looking up from his
books and papers: "That is very
stranger Then he took a swift glance
at his watch and said: ut makes no
difference, anyhow. I can do without
it. The Judge is late and there is plen-
ty of time" And he paid the messen-
ger another dollar.

OLD wARLlkE STICKS.
Grotesque STATS That Were Formerly

Carried in England.
In former times in England walk
ing sticks we're commonly carried by
both male and female heads Of FAM
lilies. Queen Elizabeth carried one Of
these toward the end of her life.
Sticks were then used chiefly as en-
5lems of authority. The monstrous
sticks shown in the engraving are
drawn from specimens which have
been preserved by dealers in London.
These a century ago were common
and might have been seen by the thou
sand, borne by tall footmen behind
ladies dressed in old hoped dresses,
the fashion Of those days. At that
time, also, there was a taste for vari-
GUS kinds Of monsters, in china, wood
and other materials. Monkeys and pet
dogs were made pets of and the sticks
of the footmen were fashioned into
grotesQue forms. These sticks were
about six feet high and were in parts
painted and gilt DR.. johnson, Oliver
Goldsmith and host Of other literary
lights and celebrities considered a
good stick as necessary as coat.

Of the bonnet is sewed deep lace, Oft
en- of various colors. The natives
wear this garb gracefully and are real
ly most attractive when SO attired.
Immediately after church comes the
cock-fghting. and this consumes the
balance of the day.
Each evening the natives congre-
gate at place near our camp to sing
for couple of hours, and this sing
ing is of a most weird and peculiar
character. 1t reminds me of ghost
dance tunes, or the devil-entrance
music in opera. If you can recall the
music rendered in Faust" where
Marguerite becomes insane, you can
get an excellent idea Of the popular
music of Bohol. Often, late at night,
these strange airs come floating in
from the ocean, where the natives, are
bobbing about in their canoes, fishing,
and one is forced by some. strange
spell to stop and listen, for the music,
though awfully weird, has a wonder
fully soothing effect.
"Here in Bohol the cocoa tree is the
staff of life. The nut is used extern
sively for food and also furnishes i'm
mense quantities of oil, excellent both
for Illuminating and lubricating pur-
poses. The hull about the nut, very
thick and fbrous, is used to make rope
and fabric. What we have been led
to believe is Manila hemp is nothing
more than a product from cocoanut
bulls. The fiber is pulled apart,
soaked in cocoanut oil and then spread
out in the sun to bleach. This accom-
plished, it is twisted into rope and
again bleached, making the finest Ma
Mia hemp (?) that ever bound sheaves
of Indiana wheat. The leaves of the
cocoa tree are used to thatch the roofs
of all the buildings, and they also fur
nish the native with clothing and car
pets" ..4t

The Rev. DR.. j. H. Cissel. of Craw-
louisville, Ind, has received an inter-
esting letter from his son. First Ser
geant E. w. Cissell, of Company G.,
Forty-fourth infantry. Sergeant Cis-
sell served through the Cuban cam
paign. and then enlisting with the
forty-fourth went to the Philippines.
He is now at Baclayon, Bohol, and
writes that Bohol is radically different
from the other islands he has visited.
The natives were frightened half to
death when the United States soldiers
came, as they had for ages suffered
terrible indignities from the Spanish
people, but in less than a month they
were thoroughly treasured. So in
tensely do they hate the Spaniards,
however, that the better educated peo-
pie, who understand the Spanish lam
guage, refuse to make use of it. The
population of Bohol is devotedly Ro-
man Catholic, but Sergeant Cissell
writes that the religion there is much
more given to form, and is much more
exacting than in this country. The
cathedral at Baclayon is a magnificent
building, with chime of sixteen bells.
Little clothing is worn, except on
Sunday" writes Mr.. Cissell. ION that
day, however, the men wear suits of
spotless white, and the women attire
themselves in most fetching costumes.
They wear a black skirt with a long
trail. a cream colored waist of some
light material, made in evening dress
fashion. and then complete the toilette
with head dress that is stunning.
This is a sort of sun-bonnet, made of
very thin white material. At the point
where it touches the head it is rein
forced by ply, which is stiffened with
starch, and instead of having strings
and being drawn in the back, it is al
lowed to flow freely over the shoulders
to below the waist. Around the edge
