A PHILIPPINE TIT-BIT.
Minute Fish Of q Volcanic Basin
Lake That Are Made Into Cakes
and Dried in the sun.

The sinarapan, a minute fish III
Philippine waters, is like any other
fish in shape and proportion, so far
as the unframed eye can see. On
account of it's phenomenal minute
ness it is almost transparent. 1t
has a black chin, black line down
it's center, behind the anal fin, and
a few black spots on it's back. Many
of the specimens dissected under the
microscope contained ripe eggs, COM
parable with the merest needle point
and measuring 1900 of an inch in di-
ameter. The females are slightly
larger than the males. The former
average a fraction more than half an
inch in length; the males just half
inch. The smallest mature speci-
mems are but two-ffths of an inch
from tip of nose to point of tail.
An odd fact in regard to these in
finitesimal creatures is that they are
priced for human food, says the Prov
idence Journal. Lake Buhi is a vol
canic basin in the shadow OF Mount
Iriga. Here the side of mountain
seems to have quite recently blown
out by volcanic action. Many vari-
cites of fishes of every size abound
in the lake, but the sinarapan are
far more numerous.
The Bicols when fishing for them
use large sheet of close web, which
they dip under the water whenever
school congregates. They are
gathered in tightly woven baskets.
from which the water soon drains,
leaving a compact mass of the little
creatures. Whenever the fleet of
fishermen bring them to shore in
this condition the natives buy them
eagerly. They are seasoned with pep
per and other spices, pressed I'M
cooked into cakes and dried in the
sun. Our soldiers are reported to
have already grown fond of this
strange diet.

A JAPANESE INCENSE PARTY.
Fine Points of Etiquette Observed
by Participants in a Curious and
Interesting Ceremony.

If you ever receive an invitation to
Japanese incense party accept it
promptly and thankfully. 1t has no
counterpart in our own social system,
and is as merry and pleasant an attain
as can be imagined. The people of the
Mikado's land have trained the nos
trils for generations the same as we
have trained the eye and ear, and they
display skill which at times is
startling to a westerner. There is an
odd etiquette to be followed in these
social affairs. For the "a hours pre-
ceding the party, each guest must
avoid the use of anything which can
produce any odor whatever. Scented
soaps, perfumes, odorous foods. and
even spices must he avoided. These
prevent the user from smelling accur-
ately and also interfere with the other
members of the party, says the New
York Post.
When you dress be careful to put on
no garment that has been kept in the
neighborhood of camphor wood, to-
bacco, bouquets, dried blossoms, or
scented face powder. When you reach
the house of your host enter it as soft
~ as you can, and as slowly as posi-
BILE. This is to prevent making a
draught by the movement of your
own body. Be equally leisurely in
opening and closing doors, as quick
movement induces sudden rush OF
air. In the drawing-room the hostess
burns series of incenses usually four
or five in number. Each guest is al
lowed to take three shifts of each in
cense and must then jot down its name
and number upon a card. Each of the
four or five incenses is burned two or
three times, SO that the number OF
cards will vary from eight to fifteen.
At the end the cards are laid out on
the table and the hostess reads the
names of the incenses employed which
are checked off upon the cards. The
guest who has guessed the largest
number receives a pretty prize, which
is sometimes silver or bronze in
cense-burner, statuette, or carving.
Among the japanese the average wom-
an guesses correctly about six times
in ten, while with American women
the ratio is three in ten. Occasional |
ly, however. American women display |
natural talent in this line. and make |
records Of eight and nine in ten.
There is large Japanese colony in
New York. and among the wives Of the
leading merchants these parties are
quite common.

Mu.ket. Ten-Feet Long.

Gen. F. c. Ainsworth. chief of the
record and pension division of the
army, is in receipt of several inter-
esting relics from friends in the
Philippines and China, comprising a
collection of arms of different vari-
cites, modern and archaic, used by
the Chinese. In the collection ara
two jinjals, which look a good deal
like overgrown muskets. They are
too heavy for soldiers to carry about
the field, and are usually rested upon
a parapet. One of these weapons
is more than ten feet long, with an
iron barrel of one-inch caliber. Both
guns are in good working order, and
Gen. Ainsworth has had them bur-
nished and added to the ornaments
of his Office in the war department.

The first seven states as enumerated
in the above table held the same rela.
tive rank in point of manufactures in
1890 as in 1900, though they changed
somewhat in their rank as to popula-
ton. Among the states which made
notable advances in point of rank may
be mentioned Indiana, which stood
number II in 1890 and mum Der in 1900
with product valued at 1926, s25,0s2 in
the former year and 1878, 120, 140 in the
later year; Louisiana, number &c in
1890 and % in 1900, with product val
ued at $57.sO6,713 in the former year
and $121, ISL .6S3 in the later.
Growth in the States.
But the development of manufacture
ing interests may be studied in an
even more certain way than by noting
the changes in rank of the several
states between the dates of the last
two census takings. In 1890 Arizona
was turning out manufactured prod
ucts to the value of only $947, 547, while
in 1900 her manufactured products
were valued at $21.315, 1s9; in 1890 Col
orado manufactured products to the
value of only $42,4s0,205, while in 1900
her factories produced goods to the
value of $1O2, s30,137; New York in 1900
manufactured goods to the value OF
$2,175, 900, while in 1890 her fac
tories produced goods to the value OF
only $1,711, 577,671. And so it is possible
To mo down throuuh a lmOSt the entire
list of states, each showing heavy in
crease in the total of manufactured
products between the two dates, and
each adding its part to the grand total
of increase. In the southern states the
increase is especially noticeable, and
the past decade seems to have marked
a new era in their industrial develop
ment and prosperity.

CAPTURING A PYTHON.
Queer Method of Trapping the Huge
Snakes Employed by the Moros
of MindanaO.

A man who has been in the far
east tells this story of catching
snakes, reports the New York Trib-
une. Says he: ''The natives of one of
our new colonies, the Moros of Min
danao, have a curious but effective
way of capturing the huge pythons
that infest the jungles and morasses
of their country. Almost all the
larger houses there have stone walls
built about them to prevent wild ami
mails from entering the yards to prey
on the fowls or live stock belonging
to the family. These same walls are
also made to serve the purpose of
serpent traps. A hole about Is inches
in diameter is cut through the rough
masonry near the ground. Shortly
after dark the natives tie sucking
pigs to stakes on each side of the
wall, not far from the hole. Then
they go inside the house, smoke their
pipes and patiently wait for some
thing to turn up. Nor are they often
disappointed. The occasional cries
and more especially the odor of the
pigs attract a python from the near
by s,vamps. Cautiously he crawls up
to the wall until he reaches the first
pig outside the hole. In twinkling
he has thrown his jaws about the pig,
and, struggling, the poor animal
glides down the snakes body alive
and whole. The serpent feels good.
although the pig was not a large
meal for him. So when he hears and
smells another such meal on the
other side of the fence. he naturally
shoves his head through the hole to
investigate. There is another scream
and the second little pig is on it's way
down the snakes throat.
''Now comes the critical moment.
The natives inside the house rush
out. and, flashing torch in the
python's eyes. blind him long enough
to slip small leather strap over his
head. The python struggles hope
lessly, for each pig he has swallowed
is like a knot in his body that pre-
vents him from slipping through the
hole either way. The natives soon
have hfm securely bound by stout
ropes to stakes in the ground. Then
they remove his leather collar and
force him to disgorge the last pig
he has swallowed. The other is cut
out. still alive, and neither of the pigs
is much the worse for their expert
ence. Thus the python is not only
captured. but also cheated out of the
meal which led him to his misfor-
tunes"
