parture From Manila.

Brigadier General Davis, commander

officers of the division and the STAFF
assembled at military headquarters
and escorted General Chaffee and Mr..

fred a salute In their honor. There
was another reception on board the

launches.
The Sumner will touch at Nagasaki

A story of cervantes.

Cervantes once gave proof that his
generosity was fully equal to his gen
ius. In the early part of his life he was
for some time slave In Algiers. and
there he devised a plan to free himself
and thirteen of his fellow sufferers.
One Of them traitorously revealed the
design. and they were all brought be-
fore the dey of Algiers, who promised
them their lives ON condition that they
revealed the contriver Of the plot.
II was that person" at once cried
Cervantes. Save my companions and
let me perish alone"
The dey, struck by his lntrepidity,
spared his life, allowed him to be ran
somed and permitted him to go home.

THEY DRINK SEA WATER.
cocIsatoos ard wild Pigeons DO Not
Seem To Mind n.

CocIsatoos ard wild Pigeons DO Not
Seem 10 Mind n.
"ln 1881, while resident on Gazelle
peninsula. the northern portion of the
magnificent island of New Britain, in
the south Pacific. ! had many oppor-
tunities of witnessing both cockatoos
and wild pigeons drinking salt water.
l was stationed at place called Ka-
baira, the then 'farthest out trading
station on the whole island, and as l
had but little work to do l found
plenty OF time TO study bird life in the
vicinity. Parrots of several varieties,
all of beautiful plumage, were plenh-
full. and great fiocks of white cocka-
toos frequented the rolling, grassy
downs which lay between my home
and the German head station in
Blanche bay, twenty miles distant,
while the heavy frost of the llttoral
was the haunt of thousands of pigeons.
These pigeons, though not so large as
the Samoan or eastern Polynesian bird,
formed an agreeable change OF diet for
us white traders, and by walking about
fifty yards from ones door half
dozen or more could be shot In as
many minutes.
MY nearest neighbor was n German,
and one day when we were walking
along the beach toward his station
noticed some hundreds Of pigeons fly
down from the forest, settle on the
margin of the water and drink with
apparent enjoyment. The harbor at
this spot being almost landlocked and
the water as smooth as glass and with
out the faintest ripple. the birds were
enabled TO drink without wettlng their
plumage. My nelghbor who had lived
many years In New Britain, told me
that this drinking Of sea water was
common to both cockatoos and pigeons
alike, and that on some occasions the
beaches would be lined with them, the
cockatoos not only drinking, but bath
Ing, and apparently enJaxing them
selves greatly. During the next six
months, especially when the weather
was calm and rainy, frequently no
ticed pigeons and cockatoos come TO the
salt water TO drink.
AT first l thought that as fresh
| water In many places Dubbed NJ
through the sand at low tide the birds
were not really drinking the sea water
but by watching closely I distinctly
saw them walk across these tiny run
nels without making any attempt :;
drink. Then, too. the whole of the
Gazelle peninsula is cut up by count
less streams Of water. and rain fall
throughout the year as rule. Wha
|, causes this unusual habit of drinking
sea water? Another peculiarly Of thu
New Britain and New Ireland pigeol
is its fondness for the chilli peppe
berry. During three months Of tn
year, when these berries are ripe, tn
blrdsi crops are full Of them. and oftel
their flesh is so pungent and smells s
strongly OF the chill as to be quite IN
', eatable." Chambers Journal.

nlras In InaIan Legends.

All primitive people regard the bird
as specially wise and favored. Living
In the air. be is regarded as exercising
control over atmospheric phenomena,
and, knowing so well his own migra-
tory seasons, the Indians observe his
flights as foreboding III or good to
themselves.
The Hurons believe that the dove
carries the souls Of the departed hence.
The Dakotas say the storm bird dwells
so high as to be out Of human vision
and carries fresh water lake on his
back. so that when he plumes himself
It rains. when he winks his bright eyes

thunder rolls. The Alasknns hold much
the same idea about the thunder

Among them all the eagle is mighty,
brave, aspiring, the symbol Of their
warriors for apparent reasons. The

William the Conqueror did not intro
duce swearing into England. but. he
brought with him very forcible oath.
William was accustomed 10 swear "by
the splendor of Cod" and on such Oc-
casions he combined with it the "ter-
rible aspect Of the eyes," which always
took the place of swearing in the case
Of Sir Joseph Porter, X. c. b. After
Williams time the rulers of England,
with possibly here and there an excep-
ton, swore with grent frequency and
vigor 1t is related that even Queen
Bess, whose auburn locks did not belle
a fiery temper, would break into a
string OF expletives that would rattle
the royal windows and frighten the

SEA FLOWERS AS PETS.
The Queer Little Creatures Known
ns Ane1nOnes.

ms Ane1nones.
The queerest pets in the world are
kept in a beautiful row of clear, fash
ing, round glass tanks on an upper
floor Of a large aquarium. As you ap-
proach the tanks you behold glowing
little groups Of color and artistic blend
ing and mingllng of fantastic weeds
and shining stones. Then when you
peer into the tanks you see what at
first seem to you just like particularly
handsome and gorgeous flowers grow
ing all over the little rockeries. Some
Of the flowers look like dainty pink
and white and yellow and purple and
crimson dahlias. Others look almost
like daisies, with lacelike petals.
Others look like little star flowers, all
pure white and perfect. These flowers
are of all sizes, from tiny ones barely
large enough to see to great ones al
most large enough to fill saucer.
But If you win watch these flow
ers" for few minutes you will jump
suddenly, for all at once you will see
one move its petals. Then you viii
see another and another do it. Slowly
the petals unfold or contract, with
little jerking movements, sometimes
twining in the water like snakes.
Tap smartly on the table on which
the tanks stand, and like lightning all
the petals will have disappeared.
These sea flowers are really not flow
ers at ALL They are living creatures,
! known as sea anemOnes.
For many years a scientist has
, tended and fed them, and the little
animated flowers actually have come
to know him. When he feeds them, he
puts little bit of fish on the end Of a
long pointed stick and puts it care
fully down into the water until it is
near the anemone. 1t did not take long
for the beautiful things to understand
il, and, whereas at first they used 10
,, withdraw their petals and shut up
tightly when the stick approached
now they twine gracefully and stretch
: their dainty arms out as far as they
can so in order to reach it.-Londor

HIS Secret Of Happiness.

The famous Professor Blackie was
once waiting for a certain train and
was marching up and down the
platform whistling gayly and for
all the world like a schoolboy en-
route home for his holidays. A gem
tleman near by, at once recognizing
the picturesque figure and wishing
to enter into conversation with him,
went up to him and asked him:
Professor, may 1 ask the secret
of your happiness ?"
The genial professor smiled and
answered:
"Well, here is the secret of my
happiness: l have no vain regrets
for the past, l look forward with
hope to the future and l always
strive to do my duty. There" he
ended emphatically, "you have it."
And he straightway set to and walk
ed up and down again, whistling "a
