CLOWNS WITH THE CIRCUS.
Some Are Heroes Even In the Dreas-
ing Tent = Teaching the
Circus school.

The clown who now approaches with
the circus, Is hero in the circus as
well as out Of tito the circus boy,
at any rate. When the circus was at
Madison Square Garden last year, says
the New York Post, there was circus
rider Of tender years-not more than
eight-with IL. His father and mother
were riders; and in certain states,
where The lazy permits it, the child
had part in the act. Dressed in spang-
led white Hastings he rode a white
horse bareback; he leaped through
hoops, and he was hoisted to the shoul-
ders Of his father and so carried at
mad pace around the ring. This was
all a pleasure to him; but it was his
ambition TO be clown.
He was not permitted to appear in
Madison Square Garden; the Gerry
society agents were too formidable
And this distressed him very much, as
appeared one night in the dressing
room when his father and mother
were in the ring, and he could hear the
applause, rising mutiled to where he
was. Ne turned "1ip-faps" and "hand-
springs" for awhile; but one Of the ac-
robats put a stop to this distraction
with; Here, Johnnie, quit thatl You'll
sprain your ankle doing that on this
hard floor,' The child stopped without |
a word, and sat down on a trunk, where
he sighed, and fell into deep thought.
Penny for your thoughts was said
to him.
He wanted the penny, SO he spoke
up quickly. 4 was thinking ] wished l

There are half dozen or more chill {

Uses of Weather Forecasts.

The weather forecasts are of value in
a great many ways not thought of by
most people. For example, they are
most useful in the business of carry
ing fresh meats by rail, the tempera-
ture of the cars being regulated in ac-
eordance with the predictions. The
same method is employed in carrying
fruit, and, in case of a freeze adver-
tised in advance, car loads of such per
ishable merchandise are apt to be de-
tanned in a southern latitude, even af-
ter they have started, rather than for
ward them northward under unfavor-
able conditions. Even the heating of
large office buildings is managed now.
adays with reference 10 the weather
bureaus forecast. Fuel companies and
ice companies find it to their interest
to watch the predictions carefully, and
growers of cranberries solicit and re-
ceive special warnings of cold waves.
Some very funny cranks write to the
weather bureau from time to time. On
one occasion Chief Moore received a
letter from rich but very ignorant old
woman who had a notion that he could
make 1t rain or not as he desired. She
wanted to give lawn party on a Ger.
tain date. and wrote to ask if the
weather could not be clear on that af
ternoOn, so that her guests would enjoy
themselves. To make her cOmmunica
ton more impressive, she inclosed a
list of the names of several prominent
people whom she intended to invite.

account l could not possibly make i

Manila, April 20.-General Montenegro,
one of the insurgents best fighters, has
surrendered to Colonel Smith in the noun
tains near Camaling, in the province of
Pangasinan, where, with General Maca-
bulos, he had been trying to reorganize the
Filipino army.
Colonel Smith, with five companies of
the Seventeenth regiment, nearly sur
rounded the force of Montenegro, who,
discouraged by the impossibility of max
ing his men stand against the Americans,
surrendered. Macabulos escaped. The in
surgents have attacked San Jose in the
province of Batangas and Santa Cruz on
the lake fruitlessly.

Cases battalion headquarters of the
Eortieth regiment at Cagayon, island OF
Mindanao, on the 7th. The Americans had
Is casualties, while of the attacking force
80 were killed and 30 wounded or taken
prisoners.
The enemy, numbering $50 riflemen, the
remainder being bolomen, archers and
mounted spearmen, swooped down in q
bowling mass at daylight, surprising anc
killing three of the sentries. They
swarmed through the streets in small
parties, some bearing scaling ladders by
means of which they attempted to entel
the houses
The Americans tumbled out of the bar
racks and formed IN the plazas and com
panies began swooping the town. The
subsequent street fighting lasted 20 min
utes. Twelve of the Americans are now
on board the hospital ship Relief.
The enemy withdrew to the mountains
in great confusion.

A Wheat Trust.

All the farmers of the world in a sor
of international trust to restrict tn
production of wheat and raise prices
the plan which it is hoped to carry into
effect at the international conference
in Paris, July GIG.
1t is proposed to ask the farmers of
the world to reduce their wheat output
by 20 per cent and not sell bushel for
less than a dollar.
j. G. Hanley, of st. Paul, executive
agent of the farmers alliance and in
dustrial union, the national growers
association, the farmers federation of
the Mississippi valley and the national
grain growers association, is the chief
promoter in tn agricultural trust in
America Prof. G. Rutland of the
University of Freibourg, Switzerland
is the chief promoter of the plan in
Europe.
The idea was conceived by these two
men independently. Mr.. Hanley, who
has been Interested in many hold-youl
wheat scheames, is prominently asso
ciated with the Farmers elevators anC
various cooperative undertakings. HI
has long believed that if the farmers
would only come to an understanding
as to limiting production and agree tt
sell only when their price could be oh
tanned they could easily master thu
situation.

Now that the backbone OF this re-
markable winter is broken, housekee p
ers are remarking the dingy look OF
the home interior. The question >oi
new wall coverings is up. Paper is
dear and short lived; kalsomines are
dirty and scaly; paint is costly. The
use OF such a cement as Alabastine, fo1
instance, will solve the problem. This
admirable wall coating is clean. pure
and wholesome. 1t can be put on with
no trouble by anyone; there is choice
of many beautiful tints; and it is long
