lives are spent in the open, fishing
and hunting.
In spite of fiat noses, thick lips and
tightly curling hair these savages are
a handsome race, with physiques al
most faultless, bronze coloring, stat
uesque proportions and graceful
movements.
Woe to the enemy who falls into
their hands, for they are both cruel
and treacherous. Women as well as
men are so expert with the bow that
their arrows seldom miss the mark.
The girls of the Negritas tribe mar
ry as young as 12, seldom as late as
IS, and the wooing is curious.
when the bridegroom approaches,
though he may be the girls own
choice, she must Immediately take
flight, and, untrammeled by clothing,
swift of foot, she often gives him a
long chase, ere ne overtakes her. If
unusually reluctant she may escape
him by taking refuge in a "real,"
but she is generally captured and led
back to the parents, who are inter-
ested spectators.
The mother receives the captive,
and leads her, still resisting, up the
ladder to the door of the cabin; then
the father seizes the man and assists
him in the same peremptory manner
to mount the bamboo ladder.
Once inside. the cabin the eldest
male relative fills the cocanut shell
with water, then dashes it's contents
over the'couple, and as they kneel be-
fore him, more or less gently strikes
their heads together, which signi-
fes that man and wife, which they
now are, should have but one mind.
The bridal party then descend to
the ground and the marriage dance
begins.
Native maidens, under the spell of
terpsichore, whirl, spin and leap into
the air, or sway like the graceful,
wind-stirred palm trees, beneath
which their lives are passed.
Then follows a feast of fruit and
rice, after which the bridegroom
takes his bride to his fathers ''real,"
where she continues her life of fish
ing, hunting roots for food and cook
ing the mountain rice, which is
grown in the most primitive manner,
without even clearing the ground
where it is sown.-Louisville Courier

NUTRITION, IN FOODS.
some Popular Theories Exploded by
Investigations Of the Agrtcul-
T tural Department.. !.

Recent experiments of the depart
.ment of agriculture show that fruits
in general contain remarkably little
stuff that is convertible, when eaten,
into muscle and blood. Bananas and
grapes have about two per cent,
while apples, cherries, Strawberries,
blackberries, cranberries, lemons and
oranges are able to lay claim to only
one per cent.-this, too, when skins
and seeds are put aside. On this ac-
count, such articles of diet are obvi-
ously ill adapted to sustain human
life, though they possess great medic
inal value and contribute much to
health.
Fruits are, however, relatively rich
IN sugar and starch, and hence are
useful as fuel to keep the body ma
chine going. Bananas have ~ per
cent. OF these materials, grapes Fl
per cent, apples 16 per cent, cherries
and cranberries II per cent, oranges
nine per cent, lemons eight per cent.
and Strawberries seven per cent. In
this case, as before, only the edible
portions are considered. Blackberries
and grapes have two per cent. of fat
and the other fruits mentioned con-
tain one per cent. Watermelon pulp
is 90 per cent. water.
Among vegetables Lima beans have
the highest food value, containing 30
per cent. of nutrients. Sweet pota-
toes come next, with 20 per cent,
green peas next with % per cent,
white potatoes next with 21 per cent.
and string beans next with 13 per
cent. Green sweet corn has 10 per
cent. of nutrients, beets II per cent,
turnips II per cent, cabbage, cauli-
flower and spinach eight per cent,
eggplant and lettuce seven per cent,
tomatoes and asparagus six per cent,
and cucumbers four per cent. Dry
beans or rice are about the most eco
nomical of foods one can buy, con-
tanning as they do ss per cent. of solid
nutriment.
Fish has very high food value, in
fact, is very nearly as nutritious as
chicken or turkey A pound of eggs.
on the other hand, yields only half as
much nourishment as pound of lean
beef, Notwithstanding well-known
popular theory.

AN INDIAN COURTSHIp.
In Which the Lady Love Did the

"We'd been there an hour, I reckon"

True Economy In Hay.

There is only one sure way to save
hay, and that is to make some thing
else take the place of it. The man who
saves it by feeding scantily is not
really saving anything; but the man
who makes cornfodder that he usually
wastes serve as hay Is saving hay and
making money on the transaction If
cornfodder is to take the place of hay
It must be good fodder. It must bs

Among These New Fellow-Citizens
OF Ours Love-Making Is Con-
Quoted ON a Peculiar Plan.

This savage tribe once dominated
the entire island of Luzon, but are
now only found scattered here and
there among the mountains. Their
"reals," or villages, are built of bau-
boo and palm leaves, and built high
above the ground, reminding one of
bird cages, hung among the low
branches of the trees.
A ladder of bamboo is the means of
reaching these shelters from the rain
and wind, for the Negritas use their
houses for no other purpose. Their

MAKING A ROSE JAR.
Two Recipes Which Have Been Used
for Some Time and Are Highly
Recommended.

The rind of two lemons cut thin, one
pound bay salt, one ounce orris root,
powdered; one ounce gum benzoin,
one ounce cinnamon, half ounce cloves,
one ounce nutmegs, one grain musk

q pan, and add sweet flowers in their
natural state, as they come into bios
som; stir it frequently, at least once
g. day. It must be put in a covered
stone pot, with wooden spoon to stir
it with. At the end of two or three
months you will have a sweet-scented
mass ready to fill number of the
pretty japanese rose-jars. Roses may
be thrown in from time to time.
Another recipe, said to be one of the
very best, is the following: Prepare
two dry pecks of rose leaves and buds,
one handful each of orange flowers,
violets and jessamine, one ounce each
sliced orris root and cinnamon, one
quarter ounce musk (if desired), one
quarter pound sliced angelica root,
one-quarter pound red part of cloves,
two handfuls of lavender flowers,

stuck full of cloves and dried in the
oven, then powdered in mortar; one
half handful of marjorum, two hand
fuls of balm Of gilead, dried; one hand
full each of berga amot, balm, pineapple
and goose-mint leaves. Mix well to-
,gether and put in layers in large
NSchina jar; sprinkle salt between the
layers. Add a small bottle ofsextract
of new-mown hay and moisten with
