Queer Qualification.

Ihe enthusiasm OF the thoroughgoing
lover Of Browning takes some surpris-
ing turns. The author OF "In a Tuscan
Garden tells story concerning DR..
Fnrnival. one Of the founders Of the
Browning society.
a young relative OF the Englishwo.
man In London was looking out at4one
time for bachelor chambers In q block
or flats. The secretary OF the company
10 whom they belonged intimated that
the testimony of two householders as
10 MS rent paying capacity would be
required. The applicant gave the Eng
lishwoman's name as one and DR.. Fur
nival for the other.
DR.. Furnivars reply, after a glowing
panegyric on the merits Of the appli
cant, wound up by congratulating the
company on getting as tenant a man
who was not only gentleman and a
good fellow, but member OF the

General GIANT Laid Down tho Law
to President Johnson.
Daniel X. Goodloe, for many years a
distinguished resident of Washington
and chairman Of the commission to free
the slaves Of the District once told this
story:
"One morning soon after the surren.
der at Appomattox was one Of a
group Of gentlemen standing ON Penn

mentous questions Of the day. Az we
talked General Grant rode toward rs,

"'Who was your informantT asked
General Grant.
Il gave him the name Of the gentle.

General Grant quietly said, Thank
you, gentlemen remounted his horse
and rode rapidly away toward the
White House.

"''tI am considering the subject"
Johnson replied. "You need not consid-

NESTING WOOD DUCKS.
The COurtship Period In Followed

The Courtship Period In Followed
by IA Very PrOsaic Married Life.
When II pair Of wood ducks find
water and Il 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 OH 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 u,lt Of his sight But with the
waning of the honeymoon he seems to
feel rather bored with the whole busi-
ness, and gradually he gets clubby-i.
e., wanucrs from his own flrcSide and
hunts up another drake 0r two to help
him loaf away the summer. The busy
little duck keeps her own counsel and
"sits tight" OH the dozen or more highly
polished ivorylike eggs crowded to-
gether in Il bed Of soft decayed wood
and down from her breast.
Quite frequently the nest is at the
bottom Of Il hollow several feet deep,
and no doubt the strong, hooked claws
Of the wood duck are special pro-
vision for the oft repeated climbing out
Of tue hollow.-Edwyn Sandys in Out

WHY INDIANS PAINT,
LeEend OF the Red Men Explniap
the Strange Custom

"A Legend of the Red Men Explni1p
the Strange Custom
Once an old Apache Indian when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces told this little leg
end:
Long ago when men were weak and
animals were big and strong a chi.f Of
the red men who lived in these noun
tainS went out to get deer. for his
people were hungry.
After walking all day he saw deer
and shot at 1t. but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded a mountain
h"n, which was also after the deer
" lien the lion felt tho sting Of the ar
row he jumped up and bounded after
the man. who ran for his life
lie was almost exhausted. and
When he felt his strength giving way
h, f,ll 10 the ground, calling oA the big
bear. who. you know. is the grandfa.
ther Of men, to save him.
The big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had to act
quickly, so he scratched his foot and
sprinkled his blood over the man.
Now. you must know that no ami
NAL will eat Of the bear or taste OF his
blood. So when the lion reached the
man he smelled the blood and turned
away. but as he did so his foot scraped
the face of the man. leaving the marks
or his claws on the blood smeared face.
when the man found that he was
uninjured. he was SO thankful that he
left the blood to dry OH his face and
never washed 1t at all, but left 1t until
IT peeled of.
"Where the claws of the lion scraped
1t of here were marks that turned
brown In the sun. and where the
blood stayed on 1t was lighter Now
all men paint their faces that way
with blood and scrape 1t off in streaks
when they hunt or go to war"

THE CARIBS OF DOMINICA,
Fierce SavageB Who Have Dropped

Fierce savages Who Have Dropped
Their Man Eating Ways.
A recent colonial report Oh the Caribs
OF Dominica Is interesting. Very mys.
terious Is the origin Of the fierce say
ages, now almost extinct, who were in
possession Of the smaller West Indian
islands when the first white man burst
'into that silent sea-" They showed q
distinct Mongolian character, and II
would be hard to distinguish Cnrib in
FAINT fr.n a Chinese child. Some TWEEN.
ty years ago Il Chinamun who had
drifted to Dominica declared the Culibs
to be his own people and married n
pure bred Cnrib woman. The resultant
child showed no deviation from the ma
tive type.
Today they have dropped their man
eating ways, but In the sixteenth cen
tury they secured the Spanish main in
search OF human food, and from Porto
Rico alone are said to have taken more
than 5000 men to be eaten. Though
Spaniards Frenchmen, Dutchmcn, ne.

that "the Caribbcans have tested of all
the nations that frcluentcd them and
affirm that the French are the most

his jaunts In st. Vincent, appears to
have overtaken on the road a com.

the tedium Of his journey by gnawing
at the remains OF q boiled human foot.
This gentleman only ate Arrowaks.

Faithful to tho Last,

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

you to the kirk to be baptized, drove
you to your marriage, and I'll stay to

NelBOn's Only Defeat.

Nelson. like all the greatest COM
manders on sea or land made his mis-
takes and his failures, but there is only
one instance on record Of his having
been actually defeated in direct at
tack. This occurred at Santa Cruz in
the Canary islands, on July "a, 1897.
The place was very strongly fortified,
and Nelson, in the face Of fire Of fifty
guns from the batteries, attempted to
storm the town by boats. The attempt
was frustrated by the strength Of the
mole and the nonappcarance Of n land
force which should have cooperated.
\ hundred and fifty men We're killed
and hundred wounded on the British
side, and Nelson lost his right arm.
Two flags were also captured, and
these are still kept in the cathedral Of
Santa Cruz.

FILIPINO FUNERALS.

Picturesque For the Rich ana re-
thetic For the Poor.
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 a band play
Ing selections from comic operas. The
body Of the deceased follows in q
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 innumerable vehicles Of every
description. If the body is to 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 few
weeks old baby will trot out to the
cemetery entirely alone, with the little
white coffin balanced well OH his head,
and II man had not the price Of a
vehicle his remains will be carried out
On bamboo poles by four Cinnamon,
and the coffin will be one that has seen
service before.
The natives have different ways of
burial. Some bodies are put into tho
ground, while the larger majority are
placed In inches in the wall Of the
cemetery. A slab cementcd into tho
opening Of the niche contains a brief
biography Of the deceased.

The Certainty OF Fate.

The Mohammedans have a fable
which they repeat to illustrate the Ger
tainty Of fate. The Philadelphia Times
quotes 1t as having been told by Mr.
Robert Barr. the celebrated novelist.
4 sultan was once asked by his ia
vorte, the grand vizier. for permission
to leave NJ once for Smyrna, although
a brilliant court fete was then In prog
ress. Upon being asked his reason for
such laste the vizier replied:
Because ! just saw the angel Of
death yondcr in the crowd He looked
at me 50 earnestly that l know he has
come for me- wish to escape him."
GO. Go at once!" said the sultan,
who then beckcned to the angel and
asked why the latter had looked 80
earnestly ut the viZier.
Il was wondering" replied the angel
OF death, why he was here, for have
orders to kill him In Smyrna"
