1t is queer that the women who do

The most exquisite cynicism exists
In the young; afterward it becomes

All women who forgive are not fools.
A few of them know that there are
men proud of certain sins not yet COM

It is often hard for a woman to de-

man who loves her, therefore we see
her go to the ALTAR with the man who

PHILIPPINE ANIMALS.
Big Game and ater Fowl Abound in Our
Eastern Possessions.

For those who incline to hunting big
game there is the boar, fierce and savage
beast which runs wild among the dense
tropical jungles, where cocoanuts and
other tropical fruits afford abundance of
food to Satiate his rayenOus appetite.
All over the wooded parts of Luzon great
numbers of deer roam, being little troubled
by the natives, who are not much given
to hunting and who have little craving
for meat diet.
While monkeys, which seem to be more
numerous than most any other wild ami
nal to he found OH the islands, are not to
he considered in the legitimate class of
game, yet one can scarcely resist the temp.
tatiOn to try a shot at the leader of the
great army of these chattering creatures,
which is always present in the pictures
que jungles of Luzon, MindanaO, Negros,
Panay and the other islands.
Coming down to smaller game, the ta-
qua, or guigas, kind of flying squirrel,
seems to be in every tree, and rather
odd. wehbed-fOot furry animal it is. The
natives make pets of this queer squirrel,
and one can see hundreds displayed in
cages about Manila. Another little ami
NAL which attracts ones attention in the
Philippine jungles is the masigen. 1t is
a natural enemy of rats and mice, but has
no value to the sportsman. Vampires and
stiffness of these tropical woodlands, and
parrots and other tropical birds in their
brilliant plumage are ever present wher-
ever there is foliage in the land of ever
lasting Summer.
In the days before Dewey's guns began
their fuSilade against the inSurgent posi-
tions about Manila Bay thousands of wild
geese and ducks could be seen daily
Along the Pasig these fowls congregated
in myriads, and about Laguna de Bal, the
largest lake on LuZon. located some 10
miles Up the Pasig from Manila, the wa
ter at times was black with many varieties
of water fowl. The tipoI, species of
crane, which stands five feet high, prob
ably the largest water fowl to be found
in the islands, was in evidence about the
lake by the hundreds. There were great
fiocks of wild geese and swan. OF the
wild duck family there seemed to be every
representative present There We're can
vasbacks, mallards, Tedheads and all the
smaller members of the duck genus. There
were some varieties never seen about our
northern lakes, but none of the specimens
bagged by sportsmen in this latitude
seemed to be absent. Those were in the
days before our troops fought their way

country, and before our artillery and small
arms made life, even for tho water fowl,
very uncertain Before the insurrection,
and when the first troops reached the lake
on the advance to the campaigns in the
jungle, many of our soldiers enjoyed the
sport OF duck shooting. A month after
the advance of our army the great flocks
of water fowl had disappeared, nor did
they return until long afterward, when
the sound of battle had left the country
about the lake.
The sportsman who chances to try his
luck in the Philippines can find plenty OF
good shooting at wild pigeons and wild
doves, and there are lots OF iarlots. wood
cock and many specimens Of magpie. A
trip through a Philippine jungle. even in
times of peace, is one never to be forgot
ten. There is always something new and
interesting passing before the eyes, and
while one is always seeing some kind Of
animal life, he is never just certain
whether the next step forward will not
bring to view an immense anaconda, a
ferocious boar, great antler or some
other Of the great animal tribe of the is

An Irish Fishing Story.
Uondon Globe.l

There is a good fishing story in an Irish
contemporary Two enthusiastic anglers
arranged a fishing match to decide the re-
spective merits of the worm and the min
now as bait. For hours they sat patiently
on a bank without getting so much as q
nibble. At last the proprietor of the worm
suddenly said that he had got bite, and,
jerking his line out of the water, discov-
cred at the end of the other mans min
now, which, having by this time grown
hungry, had devoured his worm.
