No Time Wasted.

Probably since the world began there
was never period when men wasted
their time as little as they do now,
says the London Spectator. Whether
they use it well or i'll, they at least do
not let it slip away empty. Never was
the fascination of work so potent as at
the present moment, and never before
We're the same keenness and concen-
tration displayed in the pursuit of dis
traction. Energy is the dominant quail
ity Of the Anglo-Saxon race, the quail
ty they love to exercise, the quality
they cannot choose but admire. Work
is no longer regarded as necessary
evil or even wholly as means to an
end; it is valued for its own sake. The
richest men in America work as hard
as the poorest, or at least pretend to DO
SO, lest the society in which they move
should suppose them men Of leisure, a
superstition which would be, we un-
derstand, against an American, what
ever his position in life.

Hard Luck For an Actress.

Perhaps one of the most trying con-
tretemps that occurred on the Ameri-
can stage, writes Julia Marlowe, over
took sister artist of mine when she
was giving the first performance of a
serious and elaborate play in an impor-
tant American city. In the great emo
tional scene the sister of the character
played by my friend falls at her feet
IN a passion Of tears and entreaties.
The heroine stoops to raise the strick-
en- creature and in tones that unite
pleading and command cries, Get I'D.
Anne; get upv'
On the evening in question one Of
that breed Of imp children, gallery
boy, amid the deathlike silence which
followed the great outburst, CLICKED
twice, after the manner of one starting
horse. 1t would have been a phe-
nomenally self restrained audience that
could have resisted such a lapse from
the sublime to the ridiculous. The
scene went to pieces, the curtain was
rung down, and the actress sought her
dressing room in a gale of Mysteries

LIST OF DEAD NlNgrY.EleHr.
Mortality Roll of Texas Tornado i:
Gradually Increased.

Houston. Tex, May 2O.-The latest
reports from Goliad state that SO per-
sons were killed and IS injured by the
tornado which passed over that city
Sunday afternoon. The property loss
in the city and surrounding country
will probably reach 100000. The
storm swept the city from end to end
and demolished $50 stores and resi-
dences.
The tornado, which was preceded
by a terrific downpour of hail, lasted
only a few minutes. The hailstorm
drove the people into their houses,
where they were caught by the death
dealing wind, which came on them
with terrific force, leveling everything
in its path. The tornado swept an
area $50 yards wide for distance
of mile and half Houses col
lapsed as if built of cardboard, cover
ing the dead and injured with debris,
which necessarily made the work of
rescue slow. People flocl1ed to the
town from all of the surrounding
country. The supply of collins has
been replenished from other towns
and large force of laborers is still
at work digging graves for many of
the victims. The storm wrought Sc
we're havoc to the surrounding country,
but no lives are reported lost there.
Governor Savers has issued an appeal
to the mayors of all cities of 5000
people and over in the state of Texas
asking them to send food to Goliad
and raise funds for the sufferers.

FILIPINO NAMES.
Many Have Their Origin Explained
by Tancifnl Legends.

by Fanctfnl Legends.
Many Filipino names have had their
origin explained by fanciful legends
and traditions. Every name has a
meaning
Jaro is called by uneducated Visa
vans Salog, which means cup. The leg
end which purports to give the derivas
ton of this name dates back to the
time when the monkeys and parrots
ruled the islands, Once there was
great drought, and there was no place
where water was to be found in all
the mountains. So scouts were sent
out to look for water, and they trav-
eled many miles until they came to
spot where the river flowed all the
year and where food was always plen-
ty. They took cup of water to prove
their find and went back to their COM
panions, who journeyed to the water
and called the place Salog, or cup.
When the babes adopted by the mon
keys after the slaughter at Iloilo grew
up and possessed the land. they re-
tanned the name.
Lyncod in Visayan means "sit down."
The town of Lyncod, thirty miles from
lloilo, is said to have received its name
because the first settlers were climbing
the mountain when they became tired
and said, Let us sit down. They sat
down where the town now stands and
round the place so agreeable that they
remained and built the town.

Butchers and BIue.

The blue smock of the butcher, says
an English paper, has often aroused
curiosity. The color was originally
adopted by the guild Of butchers in the
middle ages at a time when each trade
had its distinguishing color, but, while
other guilds dropped their colors, butch
ers stuck to blue because blood stains
are less noticeable upon that color than
upon any other. At very early period
blue was the universal wear of serving
men. 1t was then the cheapest of dyes.
Sir Walter Scott in his we'll known
poem "Marmion" talks of IAN old, blue
coated serving man."

WAYS OF THE GYPSY.
Methods of Communication Used by
the Romany Tribes


The ancient road signs of the Rom
any, the 'patteran," takes the place
of signboards or maps The 'patteran"
is little, carefully arranged pile Of
sticks, grass or stones placed at cross
roads, where none but a gypsy would
notice it any more than any one but
Romany could read it, but to- him it is
as plain as the monday sun, and by it
q succession of such wayside tokens
one family or company can follow 9TH
ers who may be days ahead of them for
hundreds of miles.
Though the gypsy has uses for other
methods of communication besides the
mysterious ''patteran," he is not let
ter writer. He rightly cares first for
his own immediate family circle. The
closest ''in-laws" do not travel together
unless perfectly congenial OF unless it
is convenient for them to do so, and as
the rowing life is not conducive to let
ter writing even the nearest relatives
do not usually hear from each other di-
rectly more than once or twice year
at most.
In the city livery stables and pawn
brokers' shops opportunities are afford
ed fc- the exchange of news, but for
those who roam in small groups and
rarely strike a large city or the great
bureaus Of information, summer camp
ing grounds, where all the gossip Of
the year is retailed, communication Of
personal family news is uncertain

Physical Courage In Battle.

Physical courage in battle" said an
old veteran, sis simply this: Your sense
Of duty or your sense of shame is so
strong that you can't run away. All
this talk about men liking the roar of
battle is nine-tenths rubbish. Nobody
likes to be killed or wounded, and
nothing is more natural than for a
man to get out of the way of a bullet
if he can do so without too serious a
loss of his own self respect or of that
of his neighbors.
II never knew but one man who
seemed as if he really relished fight
ing, and that was General Reynolds,
who precipitated the battle of Gettys-
burg and lost his life in so doing. 1t
was just like him to bring on an en-
gagement. Reynolds was always keyed
up very high in action. He would
shout and encourage his men and
plunge recklessly forward in a high
state of eXaltation, as if he were en-
crossed with some very exciting game
which he enjoyed playing. Other gen.
erals have observed were cool, col
lected and impressive in action, but
somehow none of them impressed me
as having the same stomach for fight
ing as Reynolds" Philadelphia Ledg-

why Boiled water Freezes Easily,

Why Boiled Water Freezes Easily.
Water which is hot of course cannot
freeze until it has parted with its heat;
but water that has been boiled will,
other things being equal, freeze sooner
than water which has not been boiled.
A slight disturbance of water disposes
it to freeze more rapidly, and this is
the cause which accelerates the freez-
Ing of boiled water. The water that
has been boiled has lost the air natu-
rally contained in it, which on exposure
to the atmosphere it begins again to
attract and absorb. During this proc
ess of absorption a motion is neces-
sarily produced among its particles,
slight certainly and imperceptible, yet
probably sufficient to accelerate it's
congelation.. In unboiled water this
disturbance does not exist; indeed,
water when kept perfectly still can be
reduced several degrees below the
freezing point without it's becoming

INFANTS SAVED BY GRACE.

PORTS to Presbyterian Assembly.

Committee on Revision of Faith Re-
Ports to Presbyterian Assembly.
New York, May 1.-THE second
days session of the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly began at o'clock in the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church.
The first half hour was taken I'D with
devotional exercises and then the
business program was begun, the new
moderator, Rev. DR.. Henry Van Dyke,
presiding.
The report of the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly's special committee on
revision of the confession of faith
covers two divisions, the work as.
signed to the committee having been
SO outlined by the assembly. In the
nrst place, the committee says 1t was
to prepare "a brief statement of the
reformed faith" to be submitted to
this assembly "for such disposition
as may be judged to be wise" The
other part OF the work was the prepa-
ration and submission to this assem-.
bly, of certain revisions of the confes.
sions of faith.
Regarding the salvation of infants.
the committee proposes the following:
With reference to chapter TO- sec.
ton iii of the Confession of Faith,
that it is not to be regarded at teach.
ing that any who die in infancy are
lost. We believe that all dying in in.
fancy are included in the election of
grace, and are regenerated and saved
by Christ through the Spirit, who
works when. and where, and how He
pleases.'
