with them, and Tome was already up

with them, and Tome was already ul
in Yankee tricks.
Easter Sunday morning, after Pru-
dencio had served his masters break
fast and reverently and submissively
backed himself out with the dishes, he
went forth to bathe in the bay. AL
ready gayly dressed Tagalos and even
Cinnamon trooped through the streets
with a wisp of green tied around one
leg to keep off diseases and the evil
eye for longer or shorter period, ac-
cording to the faith of the wearer
Prudencio's heart leaped within him at
thought of the "splurge" he himself
would cut among them an hour later
clad in his gorgeous Easter Sunday
Easter Monday wedding shirt. He hid
his garments, the precious holy week
shirt beneath the rest, in a safe place
and in the bathing suit that nature
gave him waded far out in the shallow
waters of Manila bay. He paused not
till he was an eighth of mile from
shore. He took good bath while he
was at it.
Scores of other men, likewise women
and children, were also enjoying their
Sunday morning bath in the bay. Pru-
dencio had withdrawn himself from
the main group of bathers ere he dis
robed to enter the water. He thought
not even thieving Philippine monkey
could find where he concealed his gar
ments.
But a detective eye had followed
him all the way, the eye of one who,
while not Philippine monkey; when
he tried himself could both jump and
steal like that gifted creature itself,
and the eye was in the head Of Tome,
the Tagalo Lochinvar.
Far out in the beautiful bay Pruden-
clio laved himself. Tome sprang from
behind bamboo clump, snatched the
bundle and with monkeylike quickness
abstracted from it the priceless holy
week shirt, replaced the parcel and ran
for keeps. No eye save his ever rested
on that i'll fated garment again, and
what he did with it this chronicler
knows not,
Prudencio emerged from the water
like a conquering hero, tingling with
the bracing of the blue salt water. The
holy week shirt, the gorgeous! He
opened the parcel. He was stricken
dumb, He stood there on Easter morn
ing not only without a holy week shirt,
but without any at all save a some
what disreputable and very gauzy un-
dershirt.
Then he realized the great emptiness
left by his loss and found his tongue
He raved in Spanish, he waved his
arms, he spread his fingers and thumbs
as far apart as he could stretch them
till they quivered, and he shook his
hands. He called the unknown thief
all the unmentionable animals and
mean epithets known to the Spanish
language, and its resources are not
stingy. Then he spat upon the ground
and shrieked "Pstv as he had seen his
master do when in a towering rage to
express his contempt for the miscreant
who had wronged him.
Finally the solemn little man went
all to pieces and for the first time in
five years just lapsed into common, low
down Tagalo.

his head upon the sands, gathered up
the few remnants of his ruined glory

There was wedding on Easter Mon
day, and the bride was Feliciana. This
part of the programme was executed,
but the happy pair were united by
military chaplain Americana, and the
bridegroom was not Prudencio, but

For Sake of Science.

Prof. Angelo Mosso, of Turin,
Italy, is well known for his many
experiments relating to human physi-
ology. The confidence that his scien-
tific knowledge inspires was recently
illustrated by one of his fellow citi-
zens, Sig. Teodoro Scribante, who
placed himself unreservedly in Prof.
Mosso's hands for confinement in a
Theoretically sealed chamber where
air mixed with increasing quantities
of carbonic oxide was administered
to him. When the proportion of
carbonic oxide to air rose to one part
in 233, Sig. Scribante fell into a
cataleptic state, from which he was
rescued with the aid of oxygen. The
object of the experiment was to de-
termine how much carbonic oxide in
the air is fatal to human life

A few years ago it was imposed to be a brand of pills made in England claiming a sale of 6,000000 pack iges Q year This record is badly beaten, however, to-day by the famous American family medicine Cascarets, Candy Cathar- lie: which are selling at an average of over 10000 boxes every day over a million boxes l month. and over twelve million boxes q rear.
