One touch from the Catlike fangS on my cotton
hosed nstep, and within an hour l would have
been dead.
One of party had occasion to visit a Mr.
Savage, half caste landowner on the other side
of the island. He went in a boat and while the
coolies were bringing up his traps went up to
the bungalow. He was sitting in big chair on
the Veranda, talking to Savage, when he felt
some thing drop from the leaf roof onto his
shoulder. Leisurely he started to rise to what
had fallen, when the other man cried out, For
Gods sake don't moVe-keep perfectly still"
Dunlop knew what that meant. Stealthily the
old man took Burmese dah (SWOrd) from the
wall and, Catlike, crept toward the white man
with the thing his shoulder. Within striking
distance he paused, and raised the dah high in
the air to cut the thing in two with one swift
downward stroke. Then his nerve ratified and
tugged at for sixty years until 1t was weak,
failed him, and the sword clattered from his
numbed fingers to the floor. My God! | can't
do it," he whined in broken voice, and reeled
back against the wall, where he stood staring
with weak eyes at the sahb and his burden.
Dunlop neither moved spoke; his only
safety lay in keeping perfectly stil-mOtiOnlaSS.

JOKE ON JEFFERSON As 4 NATURALIST

Washington correspondence OF The Chicago
Record Herald.
Thomas Jefferson proud Of his attain
ments in natural history, and particularly of
their recognition by the great naturalist Button
to whom he sent specimens and information
With the fattery OF n French courtier, Button
wrote Jefferson: Il should have consulted you.
sir. before publishing my natural history. and
then should have been sure Of the facts" This
so exalted his appreciation OF his ability In that
direction that he shortly after led into i
mOrtifying error.
In GTeenbrier County, Virginia, IN 1916, a de
posit Of bones. supposed to be those OF q mann
moth. were found and sent TO Monticello where
Mr.. Jefferson set them up and pronounced them
10 be those OF "a carnivorous clawed animal
tirely unknown to science" a curious sight
might have been witnessed by people who lived
along the route OF travel between Monticello
and Philadelphia. when the Vice President Of
the United States. his way to take the oath
OF office and assume the second place in the gift
OF the nation. carried wagon load OF bones for
his baggage He delivered them TO Dr. Wistar.
the naturalist Of the American Philosophical So
ciety, with n labored report under date OF March
10 1877. entitled "A Memoir on the Discovery OF
Certain Bones Of an Hitherto Unknown Quad

and o'clock on luncheons that range all the
way from frankfurter sausage and sauerkraut
sandwich to elaborate feasts.
There are some business men who cannot
spare the time TO go to a restaurant for their
luncheon, and in some business concerns the
clerks are required take their bite in the office
In order TO be on hand if they should be wanted
These people are provided for by the downtown
caterers whose speciality is hot lunch served in
your office"
The business has been in existence for many
years and some of the pioneers have made
much money in it These caterers are, with few
exceptions, negroes, and their places Of business
are in narrow side streets in cellars or dingy
rooms and would never be taken for what they
are if it not for the little signs which tell
the story.
The headquarters for the office caterers is in
Tharnes-st and there are several concerns there
that have been furnishing luncheons to tanks,
Insurance offices and shipping concerns for
twenty five and thirty years
NJ Mars of Mars & CO., in speaking OF the
business said:
I'VE have been here thirty-fve years, and
have furnished some of the largest concerns in
Broadway and Wall-st, and / have known the
time when sent out fifteen hundred lunch
cons But nowadays every big office building
has its restaurant and that cuts into our bust
ness and these big restaurants, which used to
look down upon US. now make bids for the trade
that's left and the competition is very strong.
There are many business houses where they
still prefer the brought in lunch and they
keep the business up"
The Mars place is in cellar on the north side
Of Thames-st, and next door to this establish
rnent is L. p. Smith & Co, which has also
been in existence many years, under the man
sgement OF a bank janitOr, who got rich,"
according to one of his neighbors, that he
deals in rows of houses and has all kinds
OF money"
One of the newer concerns is IN Rector-st
One must go up three flights Of crazy stairs
TO reach the place which is a neat but severely
plain restaurant where the customers are all
negroes The proprietor explained that the
restaurant was the smaller part Of his business,
the main feature being the luncheons which he
sends out daily.
In order to have a luncheon served in an
office the caterers usually require days notice,
md then they deliver the food hot serve it and
take away all the kitchen and table parapher-

for each luncheon. IN keeping with the quality

less than ten persons. We have some custom
ers who take many as fifty or sixty five days
in the week. and some take more than one hun

we have our tableware. The food is taken out
in baskets. by hand if for small parties. by
wagon if the parties large. and in most
offices where We serve there are steam tables
or chatting dishes and we can heat our stuff

The luncheons sent out by these concerns usu-
ally consist of soup, an entree. roast vegetables
and dessert, and the average price is 80 cents

Growth of our MILL.

Finger nails and toe nails, being
merely fatJened growths of the same
kind Of cells that the hairs are made
OF, increase in about the same way,
though their rate of progress has not
been so carefully studied. Some say
that the finger nails grow at the rate
OF cne-thirtieth OF an inch a week.
Bean estimates that it takes 20 weeks
to restore a thumb nail, and 90 weeks
to restore toe nail don't believe
that. Once when was about 1s, and

what a Patent Costs.

In the course Of its progress through
the Office up to the issue and mailing of
q patent an application passes through
the hands of 50 persons. An applicant
pays SIS to have his claim examined,
and in case he is granted patent an
additional fee of $40 is required. At
torneys charge from $25 up, according
to the work demanded by the cases,
and as the applications number about
10000 yearly it will be seen that there
is a good deal of money to be divided
among the patent lawyers whose signs
cover the faces of the buildings in the
vicinity of the patent office. An in
ventor is not required to employ an at
torney, but probably ninety-nine out of
hundred do. In simple cases, where
there is no interference with prior
claims, an inventor can almost as well
deal direct with the government, but in
most cases the knowledge of the lawyer
is valuable. He can study other in.

The history of this little line of rail-
way dates back TO 1875, and stands as
but one OF many of the monuments of
inefficiency in governmental methods
and the rascality of government Off
Gals. In that year a royal decree an
nounced the intention of the govern
ment to construct system OF rail
roads throughout the island Of Luzon.
Heavy appropriations were made from
the island treasury for the construc-
ton of these lines, but by the time they
had been surveyed the appropriations
had disappeared in the usual way and
the subject was dropped.
1t was not until ten years later that
anything more was heard of the pro-
posed railways, and it was not until
July 81, 1887, that the actual work of
construction was begun on the Manila
Dagupan railway. The first work done
was the building of the depot in Ma
Mia, and the laying of the first stone
of the structure was celebrated by elab-
crate and impressive ceremonies.
A comparatively speedy completion
of the entire 40 miles of roadway was
promised, the agreement between the
builders of the line and the govern.
ment calling for completion inside OF
four years.
In the territory through which the
road was to run there was a real estate
boom of considerable magnitude. Rice
and sugar land values went soaring
skyward, only to drop again when own.
ers began to fear the line would never
be opened.
For the first year the work progressed
satisfactorily. The London firm which
had undertaken the construction of the
line on a guaranteed annual Interest
