AGUINALDO AND MACAROONS.
Piggishness of a Youthful Nam esake
of the Famous Fill
pinO.

1T was in London" said the girl,
tossing down the little book, writes
Caroline Lockhart in New Lippin-
colt, that L made my last soulful en-
try. At the table next to us at a
London restaurant sat a female mis-
sionary from Manila, bringing home
with her a boy Filipino, evidently az
an awful example of the table man
ners of that country. The mission
airy was a short-haired lady, who
wore, among other remarkable
things, sailor hat and big spec
tacles. Her cloth CATERS persistently
toed in; but she beamed with pride
as she gazed upon her convert. AS
for the convert, he looked like a
miniature edition of Aguinaldo, and
he ate like pet coon. That night
we had macaroons. Now, little Agui-
naldo reasoned that he wasted valu-
able time chewing his food, so he
bolted the macaroons as he had sue
cessfully gobbled the fore part of his
dinner. Whether he did not get the
right twist, or whether the maca-

never know. only know that he
suddenly stopped, gasped distressing
1y and rapidly grew black in the face.
The missionary lady leaped to her
feet and pounded the back of her re-
deemed heather till she herself be-
came hatless and bereft of her spec
tacles. The head waiter pranced over
and banged the Filipino's hunched
shoulders till it sounded like a drum
corps. But his beady eyes only
bulged the more. Then they carried
the boy and his macaroon out into
the hall, where the head waiter
swung him by his heels until a yell
popped from him that treasured us.
But the missionary lady never for
gave me for the grin she saw on my
face when it looked as if little Agui-
naldo's sweet young life was about
to be cut short by macaroon."

public buildings commission and to
the chief of the bureau of city prop
erty, the former having charge of the
corridors, the latter dominating over
the $50 odd rooms in the edifice.
Each, in turn, employs large force
of sweepers.
On each floor are four receptacles,
with great bronze doorways, situated
in the supporting walls and opening
into shaft that runs from the roof
to the basement, where it enters a
large room called the waste basket"
These rooms are cleaned out twice
a week, and their contents carted
away-all except the paper, which is
always separated from the other
waste matter and sold.
In amount OF rubbish the city com
missioners hold first place, the sur

DANGER IN SIPHON BOTTLES.
Those Used for EGervescent Drinks
Are Under Heavy Pressure and
Liable to Explode.

Few persons realize, when they are
handling an ordinary siphon bottle,
what dangerous thing it really is.
The siphon bottles commonly used for
vichy, soda water and other efferescent
drinks are generally charged with a
pressure of from 100 to $50 pounds to
the square inch, says the Chicago
American.
That means, in plain language, that
if bottle so charged is allowed to slim
from your hands, if only for few feet,
the jar is liable to cause a dangerous
explosion.
by the exercise of small amount of
care in the handling of the siphon,
however, it will be unnecessary to ex-
clude 1T from the house. Many acci-
dents might be averted if the fact that
slphons won't stand any sudden jar nor
extraordinary exposure to heat, nor
even any sudden change of tempera-
ture, would only be remembered.
Never grasp the cold bottle with the
hand, as the sudden change in temper
allure thus produced is even more LA
bic to cause an explosion than sudden
jar.
SO dangerous are these siphons aon-
sldered by the courts, if handled care
lessly, that they always hold the bot
tier responsible for any damage caused
by the explosion of one of them if even
the smallest defect in the tmaking of
the siphon can be shown.
DO not keep your siphons near the
range, as the heat is liable to burst
them, and when not in use, the best
place for them is the ice box. When
empty, the siphon is, of course, harm
less

INTELLIGENCE OF FISHES.
Curious Indications of 1t Noted BIZ
an Old Eastern Fisher
man.

"Here Is curious thing that fishes
do, and one that seems clearly to
show great intelligence" said an old
fisherman, according to the New York
Sun. 'It might be that two fishes
some feet apart saw the same OBJ
ject of prey, maybe smaller fish, at
the same instant, and they might
both dart for 1t at once and come
violently into collision while their
prey escaped. Now that would be
when they had each the same chance
of capturing what they wanted; they
would both make dash for it. But
often I have seen something very
different happen. OF two larger fishes
following along side by side and
pretty well closed up together pur-
suing a minnow, l have seen the
rearmost sheer off and let the other
fellow have it; apparently, either be-
cause he knew he couldn't reach It,
and there was no use of his trying
any more, or because he knew that
( If he kept on and mixed in he would
make the fish ahead lose the game
as well as himself. This last would
seem to indicate, besides intelligence
unselfishness on the part Of fish No
q; but the action of steering of

He Had Done His Best.

The point of the following story from
the New York Tribune is not too fine
for every day economists to perceive.
1t carries a lesson which ought to in
terest purchasers as well as manufac-
turers.
a merchant who had big trade in
aibata spoons decided that he ought TO
get them from the manufacturer at a
lower price. The manufacturer, on the
other hand. said that he could not
make any reduction unless he put more
lead into the composition.
''All right; use more lead.'' replied
the merchant
Before long he wanted second re
duction. The manufacturer made the
same reply, and was again told to use
more lead.
After a while the merchant wanted
the spoons at still cheaper price, but
the manufacturer wrote that he could
not possibly submit to further cut.
PUT in more lead" wrote the mer-
chant
Cant" answered the manufacturer,
"the last lot sent you were all lead"
