Despite the violence of the fall, which wrnng from him "a fierce curse. the man was up in aasecond, away and out of sight in twinkling..
 'Go on!" shouted Stuyvesant, i'm patiently, imperionsly, to his coach man, as, never caring what street he took, hs too dartedl around the same corner, and his tall, white form van ished on the track of the civilian;
 But the sound of the heavy fall, the muttered curse, and the sudden ques- ton in the nearest. group: What's wrong with Sackett P had reached Miss Perkins ears, for while once more the little team was speeding swiftly away, the strident voice of the lone passenger was uplifted in excited hail to the tcoachman to stop. And here the Filipino demonstrated to the uttermost that the amenities of civilization were yet undreamed of in his darkened intellect-as be- tween the orders of the man and the demands of the woman he obeyed the former. Deaf, even to that awful voice, he drove. furiously on- until brought up standing by the bayonets of the patrol in front of the English club, and in fury of denunciation and quiver of mingled wrath and ex- ,citement, Miss Perkins tumbled out into the arms of an amazed and dis gusted sergeant, and demanded that he come at once to arrest a vile thief and deserter.

JAMES J. coRBETr.

The White Rat vaudeville show, whose bright, particular star is James J. Corbett, will be at Polls tomorrow evening. Since he abandoned pugil- ism to become a monologue star Cor bet has been making about as much of a sensation as he did when he won the championship from John l.. Sul- liyan. He has. of course, a fine stage presence, and he has some excellent stories which he tells with rare grace. When he went to Roster and Biafs s recently for one week he was com pelled to stay four, winning approval on all sides for his cleverness. In goingOn the road for a short tour he carries a very strong supporting company, which includes Violet Dale, an exceedingly clever young woman of the .Cissy Loftus kind; the three Powers brothers, the greatest aero batic roller skate dancers before the public; Georgia Gardner and Joseph Madden, Spencer Kelly and others It will be an exceptionally good show and should attract a large audience. Seats are now on sale.

Prevalent Plants.

Desert plants are commonly obliged to store. up water in one way or an- other, so as not to perish during the long periods when there is no rain fall. Various species of cacti do this, and the tired and thirsty traveller oc- casionally comes across a spiky thing about the size of beer keg, which is to him godsend- perhaps even a rescue from death in hideous shape. It is the so-called water barrel of the desert" a species of cactus which is a living spring, containing within itself considerable supply of the purest water. One has only to chop off the top with machete. when a mass of pulp is disclosed somewhat resembling in consistency the pulp of watermelon. If bowl-shaped cav ity be cut in the top of the pulp mass it will quickly fill with water, which may then be drunk Or, if preferred, the pulp may be chewed. Mature.

Bathing Day in Mexico.

From Siberia to Mexico is . long jump, and from wintry climes we reach the sunny south. If you were to visit Mexico on the 14th day of June you would find most unusual holiday in vogue. This festival occasion is known as the national bathing day, and in the 24 hours comprising June IA everyone in the republic, from Pres ;dent Diaz down to the commonest t servant is expected to take good wash. Mexico is the only country in the civilized world which has such a national holiday, but from all accounts the institution is needed, for unnum- bered thousands allow no water to touch their persons except on the occa- sion of this official washing time, known as St. Johns day--Golden Days.

Not Meant Seriously.

 The night before she woke up to- ward morning to find her throat very sore, and, becoming alarmed, turned over suddenly, which awakened hel older sister just in time for the lat ter to hear her say, in most be seeching tone: ''Oh. Lord, can't you take 3 joke ?'-H. s. F., in Harpers Magazine.

 The lamps had been lighted but . few minutes and the game was in full blast. Some sta1wart soldiers, regulars from the Quartet de Malate from down the street or the nipa barracks of the Dakotas and Idahos, were curiously studying the scene, making jovial and unstinted comment after their fearless dem0cratic fash ion, but sagely abstaining from try ing their luck and not so sagely sam bling the sizzling soda drinks held forth to them by tempting hands. Liquor the vendors dare not proffer the provost marshal's people had forbidden that-and only at the liz censed bars in town or by bribery and stealth in the outlying suburbs could the natives dispose of the villainous ''bino" with which at times the un- wary and unaccustomed American was overcome.
 Three or four men in civilian dress, that somehow smacked of the sea, as did their muttered, low-toned talk, huddled together at the corner post, furtively eying the laughing soldiers and occasionally peering up and down the darkened street. It was not the place Stuyvesant would have chosen to leave his carriage, but it was a case of any port in storm anything to escape that awful woman. With one quick spring he was out of the vehicle and into the midst of the group on the narrow sidewalk before he noticed them at al, but not before they saw him. Even as Miss Perkins threw forward a would-be grasping

MILK as a Weapon.

There are no points in Europe where the cold records of America are eclipsed, but in Asia our lowest records are thrown completely in the shade. Tomsk, in Siberia, isn't the coldest place in the world, but it must be frigid enough, for the records of the police court there show that last winter a woman was summoned be- fore the magistrate to answer the charge of having knocked down a neighbor with block of frozen milk which she was bringing home from market. There are many months in the year during which milk has to be handled as solid rather than a liquid, and it is tile custom to de- liver it in blocks. Golden Days.
