Fi,inino Ladies Smoke.

The ladies of the Philippines have
progressed far beyond the dainty cigar
cite; indeed, their cigars, which meas
ure some sixteen inches, are not in
tended for an evenings pleasure or an
after-dinner smoke. In the Philippines
they prefer smoking on the installment
plan, for these huge rolls of tobacco,
which measure five inches in circum.
ference, constitute one weeks pleasure
for the ladies of Luzon. To offset the
difficulty presented by the weight, the
mouth end is filed with a soft fiber
of tobacco, so that when the cigar is
grasped firmly between the teeth sc
great an indention is made that for the
remainder Of the six days smoke the
huge cigar fits naturally to the mouth
and can be held without any conscious
effort.-London Science

strain her emotion, she suddenly broke
away from Rose, and ran hastily up to
the dressing-room.
Nothing of all this escaped Henry's
quick eye, and as sundry unpaid bills
came looming up before his mind, he
thought proper to make some amends
for his neglect. Accordingly. when Ella
returned to the drawing room he offered
her his arm, asking: what made her
eyes SO red" and slyly pressing her hand.
when she averted her face, saying:
"Nothing-they weren't red."
Meantime, William Bender, having
managed to drop Jenny from his arm, had
asked Mary to accompany him to the con-
servatory. As they stood together, ad-
miring a rare exotic, Williams manner
suddenly changed, and drawing Mary
closer to his side, he said distinctly,
though hurriedly: 81 notice, Mary, that
you seem embarrassed in my presence,
and I have, therefore, sought this oppor-
tunity to assure you that shall not again
distress you by declaration of love,
which, il returned, would now give me
more pain than pleasure, for as l told
you at Mr.. Selden's, l am changed in
more respects than one. 1t cost me a
UiILcI struggle " give SOu UP, OuI -
son and judgment finally conquered. and
now can calmly think of yon as some
time belonging to another, and with all
brothers confidence can tell you that
I, too, love another-not as once | loved
you,. for that would be impossible, but
with a calmer, more rational love"
All this time Mary had not spoken,
| though the hand which William had tax
en- in his trembled like an imprisoned
| bird; but when he came TO speak of low
ing another, she inyoluntarily raised his
hand to her lips, exclaiming, "It's Jenny,
it's Jenny!!"
"Yeu have guessed rightly" returned
| William, smiling at the earnestness OF
| her manner. '.It is Jenny, though how
such state of things ever came about is
more than l can tell you."
| Fearing that they might be. missed, they
at last returned 70 the parlor, where
they found Ella 81 s,,i at the piano, play.
ing very spirited pulSa. Henry, who
boasted he could wind her around his
/ little finger" had succeeded in coaxine
her into good humor. but not at all de
string her company for the rest of the
evening, he asked her to play as the easi
est way to be rid of her. When she look
ed around for communication from the
one for whose ear alone she had played
she saw him across the room wholly enj
crossed with her sister.
Poor Ellai it was with the saddes'
| heartache she had ever known that shs
| returned from party which had prom
ised her so much pleasure, and which
had given her SO much pain. Rose, too
was utterly disappointed. One by ont
her old admirers had left her for the 50
ciety of the .spauper,'' as she secretly
styled Mary, and more than once during
the evening had she heard the "beauty
and ''grace" of her rival extolled b,
those for whose opinion she cared th'
most; and when at o'cloek in the morn
ing she threw herself exhausted upoi
the sofa, she declared, s'twas the las
party she'd ever attend
Alas, for thee. Rose! that declaration
proved too true!

probably correct, and we would not
have questioned the accuracy of either
of them. Yet we remember when the
South Middlesex Society awarded
premium to parties for having grown
something over 100 bushels of shelled
corn per acre on field Of about FIVE
acres. They ascertained the crop by
measuring a square rod, which they
thought an average of the whole field,
then weighing the product of that and
multiplying by 16O. But after the
permium had been awarded, the whole
crop was harvested, husked and weigh
ed in December, and the field accurate
ly surveyed. The result showed that
the crop was much less than 100 BUSH
els of shelled corn per acre, and we
think but little more than one-half as
much as the estimate of the committee
that awarded the premium. Many have
grown over or very near 100 bushels of
ears, but few, if any, have grown 100
bushels of corn. Massachusetts,

HUNTING WITH THE CAMERA.

A Delightful and Profitable Way of
stu lying Bird Life.
Of the many delightful birds / had
the good fortune to know, the worm
eating warbler family have afforded
me the greatest pleasure; for they be-.
come absolutely fearless of the cam
era, and they place degree of trust in
one that was as unusual as twas de-
lightful. Being anxious to secure pho
tographs of the young, l paid frequent
visits to the nest, and what a wonder
fully concealed nest it was, tucked
away in small depression and hidden
by the roots of an oak sapling. It would
forever have remained undiscovered by
me had not, by lucky chance, observ-
ed one of the parent birds visiting it.
Only at first did the owners object to
| did they try to coax me away from
their home. First one and then the
| other would feign broken wings, and
half rolling, half scrambling, they
| would make their way down the steep
hillside in the hope of Turing me away.
| Then, finding that was not to be taken
| in even by such an artful device, they
endeavored to accomplish their object
by scolding at me. In less than two
hours they quieted down and simply
looked ON in silence The next time
visited the nest they made no objec-
tions. and l imagined they recognized
me, and realized that meant no harm
either to themselves or to their young,
for these had hatched since my last
visit.
/ Day by day / came to watch the little
fellows, and they grew rapidly, as all
young birds do. Finally they were
ready to make their first venture into
the great world that, should not acct
dent befall them, was to be their feed
ing ground for many years to come.
AS | looked into the nest the family
of fiedglings scrambled out as though
they had been scattered by some invis-
ible hand, so nearly simultaneous was
their action, and in less time than ii
takes to tell it each little mite of down
1 and rust-colored feathers was hidden
among the dead, cracking leaves with
which the ground was strewn. Though
1 had tried my best to watch where
each bird concealed itself, 1t was some
time before collected them all pre-.
paratory to photographing them. OF
course the parents were greatly excited

MAKING USE OF BOTTLES.

Novel Plan to Determine Drift and
Strength of Ocean Currents.
The United States photographic Of
fee is using at present novel and
unique method for determining the
strength and drift of ocean currents,
which is most important maritime
point. ihls is done by floating bottles
thrown overheard, each having inside
the date and place where 1t was cast
into the sea. The ''bottle paper" which
is inclosed has a blank form at the
bottom for the finders name, date and
locality, printed In six languages, with
the request to the captains of passing
ships or others who may recover the
bottle to open the same and fill out the
blank form within, giving the exact
latitude and longitude where picked up,
together with the number of the bottle.
Afterward the bottle can be again
tossed overheard, or the original paper
containing this record is kept until the
first port is reached, when it is given to
the American consul for transmission
to the photographic Office at Washing
ton. Here full history of each bottle
from its number is kept, giving the time
and place of its various findings, so
that the photographic Office may know
the directions taken by the bottle since
IT was first put into the sea or last
picked up by some passing vessel. In
this way the direction it has drifted and
the strength Of the current can be accu-
rately determined.
Taken collectively, the paths follow
ed by those floating bottles give cor
rect idea of the drift currents of the
North Atlantic. 1t is from the travel
of these bottles, as well as the reports
and observations of captains, that the
Monthly Pilot Chart, which is the most
valuable guide and authority to all sea-
going crafts, is composed.
Some interesting returns have just
been made by the photographic office,
which show the good work done by
these ever drifting little mariners. Some
have foated thousands of miles, and
one has a rex md of covering 2,400 miles
in ninety-two lays. The longest dis
tance reported. to have been made by
any bottle was one which covered $500
miles in little over three years, or an
average of nearly six miles day.
In conducting its experiments the
Navy Department has had the cooper
alton of the Russian Government
which on the cruises of two of its yes
sells had thrown into the sea 703 bot
ties, of which nearly fifty have been re-
covered and reported. The motion OF
the waters seems to be westerly, as is
evidenced by the destination of the nu-
merous bottles cast adrift between Ma
deira and Cape San Rogue. all of which
| ultimately found their way to the
Windward Islands, the Bahamas and
| the western shores of the Gulf of Mex
| ico In the matter of the speed of the
currents the average record is about

In the northwestern part Of North
America is country called Alaska. 1t
is very cold up there; but children are
warmly dressed and do not mind 1t
very much. Their clothes are made of
the skins of animals and have two
thicknesses. One has the fur toward
the body, while the other has the fur
turned out. To protect the head, the
suits have thick fur hoods attached.
Their summers are very short and
they live in huts or tents at that time.
In the winter, which is long and cold.
they live in huts, which are called
"Igleo."
Babies are carried about on their
mothers backs when out of doors. At
home they creep around on the beds,
which are made of ice and covered
with skins.
The Esquimaux use dogs instead of
horses and they draw very heavy bur-
dens. They are fed every two or three
days; but, il necessary, they can fast
for seven or eight days at a time. As
it is hard to learn how to be good dog
driver, the boys are taught to drive
| when quite young. When the lads are
p they are generally good dog drivers.
Boys and girls work hard. They help
to build igloos, fish, dig wells out of
ice, and do many things that help their
| parents. The girls help most in the
house with the housework and the
sewing.
