Faithful to the Last.

In many Scotch families the old man.
servant is q permanent institution. He
enters the service of family when he
is d boy, sticks to his place and re-
signs only when the inhrmities of age
are upon him. Naturally he grows in
time to claim as rights what were at
first granted him as favors and IL he
is opposed asserts himself with spirit
of independence. An English paper
tells story illustrative of this.
A lady's coachman, crusty old fell
low, who had been In the service of
the family In her fathers time, gave
her great trouble and annoyance on
several occasions by not carrying out
her instructions. At length his conduct
became unbearable, and she determin-
ed to dismiss him. Calling him into
her presence, she said with as much
asperity as she could command:
II cannot stand this any longer, John.
You must look out for another situa-
ton. You will leave my service at the
end Of the month"
The old servant looked at her In
amusement for minute, and then the
characteristic loyalty" came to the
surface.

FILIPINO FUNERALS.
Picturesque For the Rich and Pa
thetic For the Poor.

AM<kAE r 0E the EOOks
One of the most striking things to be
seen on the streets of Manila is a Fill
pino funeral If the deceased was
wealthy and had hosts Of friends, the
funeral will be headed by band play
ing selections from comic operas. The
body Of the deceased follows In a
hearse covered with black cloth ar
ranged In grewsome design and
drawn by six black ponies, each be-
decked with headgear OF long black
feathers. The hearse will be followed
by men on foot wearing knickerbock-
ers and cooked hats, and after them
follow innumerabIe vehicles OF every
description. Ii the body is 10 be In
TERED, the gravediggers will precede
.the band. with their tools over their
shoulders.
Most Filipino funerals, however. are
more pathetic. The father of a few
weeks old baby will trot out TO the
cemetery entirely alone, with the little
white coffin balanced well on his head,
and If man had not the price Of
vehicle his remains will be carried out
on bamboo poles by four China men,
and the coffin will be one that has seen
service before.
The natives have different ways of
burial, Some bodies are put into the
ground, while the larger majority are
placed in inches in the wall of the
cemetery. A slab cemented Into the
opening of the niche contains brief
biography of the deceased.

The Chimney Swift.

occasionally bird is strong minded
enough to break away from old tradi-
tons. Before this country was settled
the swift nested in hollow trees, but
after trees began to be cut down and
chimneys arose above the roofs of
houses everywhere the birds were
quick to perceive that fires are general
~ out by the time their nesting season
arrives. Therefore why not take ad-
vantage of the innovation? So COM
pletely did they forsake their old nest
ing sites to build in chimneys that the
name chimney swift is now universally
applied to them.-Ladies' Home Jour-

His own Medicine Chest.

The surgeon of an English ship of
war was noted for the monotony of his
prescriptions. He apparently consid-
cred salt water taken externally or
internally as cure for all the ills that
flesh Is heir to, for he ordered his pa
tients to take it, no matter what might
be the malady presented to his notice.
One day he went sailing with a par
ty of friends, and in the course of a
squat the boat was upset, and the
surgeon came near being drowned.
"Well," said the captain of the ship
when he was told of the narrow es-
cape, "I'm glad you were saved, but
it hardly seems possible in any event
that you could have really drowned in

NESTING WOOD DUCKS.


by a Very PrOsatc Married Lite.
When pair of wood ducks find
water and hollow tree TO suit. little
time is lost in preparing the nest. This
task and the covering OF the eggs are
performed by the female, for, to the
best Of my knowledge, the male does
little more than sit around ON handy
limbs and look pretty, During the
period OF nest building and while the
duck is laying he is the beau ideal OF a
handsome and loving cavalier. ever at
tentive and seemingly most anxious as
to her whereabouts should she happen
to get out of his sight. But with the
waning of the honeymoon he seems to
feel rather bored with the whole bust
ness, and gradually he gets clubby-j.
e., wanders from his own fireside and
hunts up another drake or two to help
him loaf away the summer. The busy,
little duck keeps her own counsel and
"sits tight" on the dozen or more highly
polished ivorylike eggs crowded to-
gether in a bed of soft decayed wood
and down from her breast.

bottom of hollow several feet deep,

killing a Bun without a weapon.

Cayetano, a famous Spanish toreador,
once was strolling across a meadow
with couple of friends when his at
tention was attracted by an old and
infatuated bull which was galloping to-
ward them with lowered head and
erect tail. Cayetano had no weapon,
not even a cane, but he seized dust

bull got close to them Cayetano babe

drove the bull crazy with fury, step

each of the animals charges. In this
manner he caused the bull to turn
sharply in the midst Of its onward
rushes until finally an ominous crack
was heard, and the bull fell in a heap.

ancient Greeks and Romans reveled in
roses. They We're used lavishly at their
feasts. In the time of the republic the

swimming with blooms, and the Spar

refused to drink any wine that was not
perfumed with roses. while at the re-
gatta of Baia the whole surface of the
Lucrine lake was strewn with flowers.
