woods at the Pan-Amefican exposition
In Buffalo. The riches OF the Philip
pine forests In both building and fur
niture woods is 'incalculable, but for
use in the islands many valuable spe-
cies are almost useless owing to the
ravages Of the white ants which swarm
there. A few months ago Capt. Ahern
reported to the war department that
he was making experiments with a
variety Of native woods to determine
their capacity to resist attacks from
the ants. He labeled a large number of
sample pieces of wood and placed them
In an unused house where the ants
could operate freely upon them. On
reaching Washington, Acting Secretary
Of War, Colonel Sanger, who follows
closely everything done in the islands.
inquired as to the result of the expert
ments. "Mr. Secretary" said the cap

samples they were all gone" "Whatv'

HYMN OF THE WAGNER.

HYMN OF THE WAGNER.
o sailor bold! when DER the deep
The brave ship beats through stormy
weather,
'Tis u and stars thy course must
keep;
IT'S trusting binds all hearts to-
gether.
Then, landsman, hail! For us the
Marks out a path which never varies
Until within the west Is won
A rest beyond the rolling prairles!
Let hungry danger haunt our way.
There's yet q time for mirth and
sighing!-
We've sworn our leader we'll obey
And seek the hills where gold is ly-
ing!
Then come away! Across the plains
Good fortune yet shall smile above
us,
And some glad norm the love THAI
Shall lead us back to those who love
us!
Has not the hunter here his wish,
Where roads are smooth and streams
are shallow?
Each prairie POOLS agleam with fish;
The shy deer feeds along the fallow!
In hollow trees bees hide their sweets;
Wild fowl to every wood are wing
ing;
And natures Joy the heart repeats
When through the silence song is
singing!
What though in marshes serpents
nest?
What though in thicket turks the
savage?
These are the perils of the west,
And there's no spot death will not
ravage!
Then westward no! We venture where
Tho bright day dies in a golden
glory,
And all our hopes lies over there
In lands unknown to song or story!
Then lift the song! Let valleys ring!
We lead the way. and more shall fol-
low,
Who to a slumb'rous life will cling
When hearts but ache and truth Is
hollow.
Sing as we bound DER hill and dale,
Like ships that ride above the bill
lows.
Our wagons mark the outward trail
And God keeps watch where valor

A STRONG PEOPLE.
Innuits Of Alaska Are Classcd Among
Very Rugged People.

Innutts OF ALASKA are Clossed Among
Very Rugged People.
1t now seems probable that not all
the Innuits of Alaska are SO SMALL as
has been supposed. Indeed, IL n is
to believe the tales of travellers who
visited an island south of Boring Sea,
these Indians must be classed among
the tallest people in the world. The
travellers story Is given In Popular
Science News: On Kings Island In
dians were found who by their phys
ical characteristics belong to the In
mutt or Eskimo family, having small
black eyes, high cheek-bones and full
brown boards which conceal their lips.
The majority Of the men are over six
feet high and the women are usually
as tall as and often taller than the
men. These women are also wonder
fully strong. One Of them carried on
in her birch bark n an eight-hun-
dyed pound stone, for use as an IN
Choir to a whale boat. When 1t reached
the deck of the vessel 1t required two
strong men to lift it, but the Innuit
woman had managed 1t alone. An
other woman carried on her head a
box containing two hundred and
eighty pounds of lead. Both men and
women are also endowed with re-
markable agility. They will outrun
and outjump competitors of any other
race who may be pitted against them.
Their strength is gained from very
poor food, and they frequently travel
thirty or forty miles without eating
anything. They 1--we on carrion fish
and sea oil. The fish. generally sal
mon, are buried when caught, to be
kept through the winter and dug up
as consumption requires. When
brought to the air they have the ap-
pearance of sound fish, but the stencil
from them is ~unbearable. In the mat
ter of dwellings these Eskimos are Pc
culiar. Their houses are e~xcavated
In the sides Of a hill. the chambers be-
ing pierced some feet into the rise,
and walled up with stones on three
sides. Across the top of the stone
walls poles OF driftwood are laid and
covered with hides and grass and last
ly with a layer of earth. These odd
dwellings rise n above another, the
highest overlooking perhaps forty low
er ones. Two hundred people live in
the village.

A curious letter from Mindanao, In
the Philippines. has been received ut
the war department from Washington.
1t is written In characters not unlike
the notes of a musical score, and Ia an
acknowledgment Of a gift by Wato
Mama Datoh BaQui, one OF the native
chiefs. His conduct had been SO exem-
plary at the time when other inhabi-
tants OF the Philippine Isles were
giving much trouble to the United
States that General Macarthur, after
a tour through that part OF the archi-
pelago. decided to send Datoh a cane.
He accordingly had one beautifully
headed and engraved, at an expense of
about $50. and forwarded 1t to the
loyal chief with his compliments. The
acknowledgment, translated into Eng
lish, is as follows: This letter from
your brother Wato Mama Datoh BaQui

the Philippines concerning the appro-
pirate ~present-a cane-which l have

Gently that they knew the song. says
the Philadelphia Press. Capt. Leary,
Of the Richmond, sent forth the order,
that no leaves OF absence ashore would
be granted unless the men showed that
they knew the words Of the national
anthem. To ascertain how many OF
the sailors and landsmen really had
memorized the song Capt. Leary de-
cided to hold a test examination. In
the morning, after the men had been
lined up at roll call, Chaplain Morri-
son requested all those who knew the
words to step forward. To the sur
prise and dismay of the officers only
twelve stepped out from the ranks.
To relieve the ervou tension and
merriment the lieutenant in charge i'm

Some of the sailors say that while the
captain has authority to compel them

right to order them to learn "The Star

The members Of the church board OF
the African Baptist church, of Frank
fort. KY, have been arrested by the
city marshal for violating the building
ordinance of the city requiring a per-
init from the council to erect a building
