In Childish Eyes.

The vagueness Of the young with re-
spect to the age Of their elders Is pleas
antly illustrated by the early history
of a nobleman who once represented a
division Of Manchester in the English
parliament. His mother had a maid
who seemed to childish eyes extremely
old. The children of the family longed
to know her age, but were much too
well-bred to ask a question which they
felt would be painful; so they sought
to attain the desired end by a system
of ingenious traps. The boy CHANGED
in a lucky hour to find in his Book
OF Useful Knowledge" the tradition
that the aloe flowers Powered only
once in a hundred years. He instantly
saw his opportunity. and, aecosting the
maid. with winning air and w~heedllng

Pure Tunnal Air.

The entire railway world will prob

In connection with the smoke in tun-
nels. The scene OF the experiments
was n long tunnel not far from Genoa.
through which some 200 trains pass a
day, leaving an immense amount OF
smoke. Two methods were tried. First
compressed air was used. Large evil
inders of steel were filled with air and
compressed to $50 pounds to the souare
inch. These were placed in the tender
OF the locomotive. In passing through
the tunnel the air was allowed TO es-
cape. The pure air blew back the
smoke and purified the atmosphere.
The second method was with COM
pressed oxygen. This was allowed TO
escape through the cylinders into the
fires OF h engines, causing complete
combustion, and preventing the forma-
ton of dangerous gases as we'll as
making the air purer by the addition
OF the oxygen. The compressed air
method is to be adopted, as it is cheap
er and almost as good as the oxygen.

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

Have Immense strength, and Wild Ones
Are Constantly Caught
The wild buffaloes of the Philippines
come from the interior, where many
natives spend their time in capturing
and tanning them. 1t takes a long time
to tame the wild creatures and break
them into service. Some old bulls abb
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 u 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 1t is the shaft or
traces that break II the load cannot be
moved. Across all sorts Of rough and
miry country they pull 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 IL It were
so much light, fimsy cotton. Not
only are they then regardless Of what
is behind them. but also of what may
rear itself in front. BE it a river. a
fence, a ditch oil jungle, or another
cart, the maddened animal 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. II whipped for its misdeeds.
Its meek eyes seem to ask why It is
punished, and they look as innocent as

FILIPINO MOTHERS ARE KIND.
Their Ruling Passion Is Their Love for
Their Boy BabIe~

Their hoy BsbIe~
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 a 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 1t Is presented
to you, is as inscrutable as a bolted
door. You can get well enough ac-
quainted with her husband to detest
him cordially, but the nature of the
woman Is as hard to fathom as a
sheet of Chinese correspondence. 1t Ia
never a common sight to see a mother,
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 1. 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 muir
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.

mother heart was laid bare before me,
and now better impressions came
where false ones had been-and l re-
membered she was a oma Rapt and
ardently interested, | 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 battles in
the river, unconscious of the passing
white man, but he must not see the
woman's love for her first-born.

FAMOUS ~RAT-HUNTERS.
Unusual sport Pursued by Natives OF
Pacific Islands.


The native rat has a great enemy.
When brought into competition with
the common brown rat OF Europe, in
troduced by ships throughout the
world, 1t usually disappears-an ex-
ample of the evils of the influx Of
aliens, says Chambers Journal. The
d~epredations OF the latter are such
that In Funafuti the Indigenous breed
has been driven from the village and
indeed almost exterminated upon the
main islet by the foreign rat; in many
OF the Islands 1t has been completely
rooted out. Even more deadly on
slaught has been carried on against it
by the domestic cats, which. originally
brought over by missionaries and after
ward migrating to the bush. have
proved of service In destroying the
rats. In the old days, when UNI
checked, rats literally overran most Of
The islands OF the Pacific. The natives
shoot the rats for sport. Fanna gooma,
or rat shooting, as practiced on Hoonga
in h Tonga group, apparently was
an amusement reserved for chiefs, and
was undertaken with much ceremony.
Attracted by bait previously distri-
buted, the rats were shot with formid-
able unfeathered arrows six feet long.
The game was not an individual but a
party affair. the side first killing ten
rats were accounted the winner, and
If the rats were plentiful three or four
games were generally played.
