Liberty.

The Boston Globe comes very near stating a fact when it asserts that lib erty" is the most loosely employed term in the English language. The Globe quotes approyirgly from a speech delivered in the senate by the late Senator Davis of Minnesota in which the Globe says he rebuked the selishness masquerading under the name of liberty in the following terms:
 People prate about liberty, and de- fine that liberty as the liberty of the particular c ass they are speaking for The only liberty worth having in this country is the equal liberty of all men alike. Liberty in it's philosophical and common-se definition consists in that right of each individual to exer else the greatest freedom of action up to, and not beyond. that point where it impinges upon the like exercise of freedom of action of every other man. Beyond that it is the destruction of the liberty of the weak by the stronger. a subversion of the very theory of the republic c'-Detroit Free Press.

CHINESE DRIED OYSTERS
Said to Be Very Good Cooked by
 Chinamen.

Ch1namen.
 "A few years ago. said a New Or lears Bohemian, Il dropped in to see my friend Lee Yip who keeps what he calls 'glocely stol,' which is as near as he can come to grocery store. He gave me an excellent cigar and pres ently he said: You likee dly ostel?' What in the name of Confucius is 'dly ostel?' 1 asked before I realized that he was talking about dried oys- ters. Come. I show he replied; and opening the lid of a big box, he took out handful of what looked exactly like oysters carved in mahogany. They were not shriveled and warped, like other dried foods, but were as plump Gnd symmetrical as any well-condi- toned bivalve fresh from the deep sea. The only difference was that they were dark brown in color and as hard as bricks. When Lee Tip tossed them back into the box they rattled like a handful of marbles. Of course, l was greatly surprised, and before I left I took pains to find out all about
 
 prepared at the big native shrimper- ies on the other side of the lake, The process is a trade secret, but as nearly as I could gather from Lee they are spread on the tops of large sheds and exposed to the sun for several weeks. What prevents decomposition I do not know, for they come out of the opera tion as sweet and brown as nuts Last night l tried some by special invitation in the backroom of a laundry run by another Mongolian friend of mine. They were brought in in bowl and formed a sort of stew or saute, which was really delicious. The oysters themselves were firm but exceedingly tender, and had peculiar peppery flavor, differing from anything else I ever tasted The Chinaman who did the cooking told me he had simply boiled the dried oysters in water and add ed small strip of pork and season ing When 1 tried tN @be into the seasoning feature :. ls5zt command of Engl.4l, 50 there. 1 sus peet, the secret resides. I am told that the focal colony consumes many barrels of these oysters every month, and that large quantities of them are sold in San Francisco and New York New Orleans I mes !aemoerat.

Transportation in Ancient Egypt.

On the way to Philae and the head of the cataract, short distance south of Assouan, We come upon the ancient quarries which supplied granite for the columns. statues and obelisks through out Egypt for many centuries. From illustrations in the temples, it is clear that these monuments were foated down the river on fatboats and rafts, and then carried inland by artificial canals or dragged overland by thou sands of slaves. In one of the tombs at Beni-Hassan is picture illustrating the process. The great stone is loaded upon a huge sled drawn by multi tude of workmen One man is en- gagged in pouring water upon the run ners to prevent friction. Another stands at the left of the statue and beats time that the men may work in unison, while overseers, provided with whips, urge the laborers to their task. -Chautauquan

It is always more courteous in a man to pay young lady you have in Vited to go to the theate the compli- ment of wearing your dress suit, for she will undoubtedly take the trouble to wear a rather smarter gown than her ordinary street costume. There are great many reasons why it may not be possible for you to wear a dress suit. You may not have time. or you may not be in the habit of wearing one, but if you are in the habit Of wearing one 1t certainly would seem very strange to choose this op- portunity for not wearing it, and un- doubtedly the young lady would Do very mlch pleased If you did so

Wearing Out the Brain.

A French scientist has determined that the military and naval professions most quickly wear out the brain Out of 100000 naval and military men, 19s are confirme fanatics Next come the liberal professions, artists heading the list, followed closely by lawyers, and more distantly by doctors, clergy, lit erary men, and civil servants. Tho number of those who go mad is 177 to each 100000. Domestic servants and day laborers run the profession men very close, sending 155 out of each 1o0.- 900 to the asylum. These are followed at long distance by mechanics, only sixty-six of whom go mad in each 100000. And the group which is most favorable to sanity is, contrary to gen. eral belief. that of commercial men. which sends only forty-two out of 100,- GOO to the asylum.

Facts About the Philippine Islands

The Philippine Islands, are
 the scene of Spain's first and last defeats in the war, has one of the Most delightful climates on the globe.
 The soil rich and with little
 cultivation produces bountifnl crops of hemp and sugar. From North to South the Islands extend, 1,050 miles. They are 700 miles from East to West, and of the forty Islands composing the group the most important is Luz on, of which Manila is the capital. Luzon has an area of $50 by IFS miles and was founded by the Spaniards in 1871, since which time the country has practically belonged to Spain.
 The Bay of Manila is South east of Hongkong and Is one of the Most spacious and beautiful bays in the world. Around the old city is a crumbling stone wall 300 years old. There Is usually no dust, the air is balmy and the heat is tempered by the sea breezes.
 Cocoa, dye woods, rice, hides, oats, tobacco, hemp and sugar are the principle exports. But tobacco is the most important product of the Philippine Islands In Manila there are 2, GOO cigar m lkers, 1900 being men and all the rest girls.
 The Philippines have never been thoroly surveyed or explored and consequently the estimates of the total area of the several hundred Islands of the group have differed widely. The most trust calculations fix this total area to be between IA, 300 and 115, 500 square miles.

Apache Kid is Said to be Executed at AntejuOta.

GUAYMAs, Mexico, Apr. l5.-A dispatch which has been received at Guaymas from Torin, on the Yequi river. states that at the time the Apache Kid was there. there was present an American who knew the Kid when he was in Arizona, and had many oppUr- tunities of observing the Indian, so that he had no difficulty in recognizing him at the time he was being put to death
 MeXicans are immensely satis- fide over the death of the Apache Kid, who, under the nickname of Fierro, has been at the head of the most active and most reckless but most willy and dangerous band of Yaquis that have committed depredations in the Yaqui valley. During the past two years this band. using Bacum as the center, has operated almost without op- position, owing to the practically complete knowledge the Kid possessed of the country over an extensive area.
 The Mexican troops were un- able to follow Fierro, owning to the dense bush in which he al ways located. With sharpshoot- CTS placed in the trees surround ing his camps, he was enabled te learn the presence of his enemies before those enemies were aware of his proximity, and could cause the troops to be shot down with. out chance to defend themselve

The Telescope.

One day, abour three hundred years ago, a poor optician was working in his shop in the town of Middleburg, in Netherland, his children helping him or amusing themselves with the tools and objects lying about, when sud- denly his little girl exclaimed: 70, papa, see how near the steeple comes."
 Anxious to learn the cause of the childs amazement he turned toward her and saw that she was looking thru two lenses, held one close to the eye, the other at arms length; and calling her to his side he noticed that the eye lens was plono-concave, while the others was ploro-convex. Tax ing the two glase he repeated his daughters experiment and soon discovered she had chanced to hold the lenses at the proper focus, thus producing the won- derfu1 effect that she observed. His quick wit saw this wonderful discovery, and he at once set about making use of his new knowledge of lenses: Ere long he had fashioned tube of paste borad, in which he set the glasses in their proper focus, and so the telescope was invented.

while attempting to penetrate into his camps. By having fires built in many spots he lured the MeX1cans into some frightful traps
 The most brilliant feat of the Apache Kid, or Fierro as he is better known to Mexicans. was that Ill which he very nearly achieved the capture of General I Lorenzo Torres.
 After having captured Bacum. the military headquarters of the general at that time, from the Mex1cans, during the absence of General Torres, he caused Gener- al Torres and thirty comrades to be separated from a column of 400 which was destined for Bacum He withdrew from the military post so Sklllfu1ly that General Torres, astute old fighter of Indi- ans though he is, believed that the Yaqu1s had abandoned the post in the fear of a superior force of foes. Acting on this belief, General Torres led his small force into Bacum and occupied 1t
 While awaiting the column from which he believed he had been adventitiously separated, he discovered his mistake and it appeared to be a mocking discov- cry.
 The Yaquis, under Fierro, surrounded the poast and demand ed its surrender. It looked as their was no other way out of the difficulty, but General Tor res, knowing that his capture by Fierro would mean torture and death to him and some of his fol- lowers, defied his foe and was most active in the defense of the post.
 For four days a fight was kept up and a small forco of Mexicans engaged in 1t dwindled down to four man beside the General.
 It Is almost incredible that Geneaa1 Torres led his men in such a fight and sustained the combat so we'll, but 1t is little short of miraculous that, after waiting so long for relief and finaly despairing of it, he led his men out of the fort and, dash ing thru the ranks of his enemies, came safely out of what might be called the jaws of death.
 Fierro was captured at Cuesta Alta after an engagement which occurred between his band and the Mexican forces under Colonel Juan le la Rosa. He was found on the
 
 battlefield helpless, having been shot thru the hips by a Mauser bullet, and having fallen from ais horse to the ground, where he ay unconcious until revived by a 1raught of mesca1 given him by Colonel de la Rosa. He was tried before General Lerenzo Torres at .ntejuota and condemned to be hanged. d.-Citizen.
