Greek Water Coolers.

In many places in Greece cream
colored water jug or jar is made
which is so porous that when filed
with water the moisture keeps con-
tinually exuding to the outside and
there evaporating, which wonder
fully cools the contents, especially
when the vessel stands in draft.
These cheap "water coolers" are
used by everybody, rich and poor,
and great numbers of them are
manufactured and sold every year.

Few Good Dinner Walters.

A New York fashionable restaurant
man who was asked why he specified
n good dinner" waiter in his adver-
tisement said: Because all good wait
erS are not necessarily good dinner
walters; quite the contrary. The tend
cncy with most walters, unless they
know their customer, is 10 hurry Il
meal along They want to make room
at the tables for newcomers. Most
men who take all their meals at res
taurantS will not object TO this at
breakfast: In fact, it is rather crafty
ing than otherwise TO find q waiter
willing to hurry. The same thing is
true. more or less. with luncheon
where the restaurant; is exclusively
for gentlemen But very few men like
to be hurried over their dinner Any
waiter who knows his business will
coax his customers gently over this
meal, course by course, always ready,
but never around when he is not want.
cd. Such man will get liberal tip
and send customers away with the
opinion that he works in the best res
taurant in town. But such walters are
few and far between.-New York

1t the results of tests recently made,
which appear TO be genuine. Eight or
dinary hens eggs that We're submitted
to pressure varied between 400 pounds

the stresses applied internally to
twelve eggs these gave way at pres
sures varying between thirty-two
pounds and sixty-dve pounds per

crush the eggs varied between forty
pounds and seventy-five pounds. The
average thickness Of the shells was

Happiness? Sooth to say, 1t does not

to us in fractions, in small doses, no.

of halts. In the rough road stage of
life, so long and yet 50 short, there are
furtive moments when we sit down by

there, 90 no farther, sleep little on
the good earth which will one day en-
brace us. And Immediately the march,

us on. A. halt? WhyI Up and on,

Recently the British government pub
lished an interesting report on the ape
like swamp dwellers of New Guinea
This strange race of human beings has
dwelt in the swamps from times which
antedate the oldest native traditions
and II is evidently on the highroad to
becoming a distinct variety Of animal
The swamp dwellers have lost three
inches in stature and, while retaining
muscular arms and robust trunk,
have short and slender legs. Walking
always in water or on moist ground,
they have feet with long. fragile look
ing tors, which they place on the
ground like wooden feet" Walking on
hard ground makes their feet bleed,
and, unlike the ordinary natives,
whose skin is everywhere tight and
smooth, the outline of their loins is oh.
ea9rod by folds of skin. More apelike
than any human being that / have

British administrator. 1t is probable Of

A book on the Kongo Free State
gives this picture of the fondness Of
the natives for white ants: "In the
white ant month the natives have a
very busy time. The river is deserted,
and men and women, boys and girls,
60 ont to gather the white ant for food,
l cannot say l admire their taste, but
the white ant is not bad as food, mere
ly very rich. In this month he is about
an inch long. The natives gather him
in hundreds, pull off the wings and
roast him. The native boys have n
shorter way with him. Sometimes at
mess white ants Topped on to the ta-
BILE, attracted by the light. The boys
who were waiting pounced on them
and without further ceremony popped
them into their mouths"

FIGHTING IN LuzoN.
Details of the Battle In Which Gen
eraI Miguel Was Killed.

Washington, May 5.-Unofficial re
ports received at the war department
give additional details of the cam.
paign which resulted in the death OF
General San Miguel and the uttei
rout Of his band of outlaws by the
Philippine scouts commanded by Lieu
tenant Hickerson and Lieutenant
Reese.
The scouts located the band about
half way between Caloocan and Mari.
quina, in a strongly fortified corral and
block house built by the Spaniards
many years ago, and so well concealed
by jungle that it had escaped discov
cry.
Hickerson and Reese and their men
made a gallant attack on this strong
hold under a very heavy fire from the
enemy through the loopholes in the
wall surrounding the block house.
The scouts charged over the wall
and engaged the outlaws in a hand-to
hand combat, driving them into the
fort In this assault Lieutenant Reese
was shot through the thigh just be
low the groin.
San Miguel surrounded by devoted
bodyguard of about 80 men, undertook
to slip through the line, but being dis
covered, put up plucky running
fight.
Lieutenant Hickerson with 15 men
attacked the party, but withheld their
fire until within short range, when
they put three bullets through San
Migue's body. The outlaw died
gamely, shooting while lying on the
ground wounded.
Six of his bodyguard ware killed
The remainder escaped in the dense
jungle.
The fight lasted about an hour and
one half. The Americans lost three
killed and 10 wounded, including Lieu
tenant Reese. The enemy lost 40
dead that were counted and the jungle |
concealed ether killed and wounded
No prisoners were taken.
Many valuable papers were found
on the bodies of the dead and were

South McAlester, l. T., May 5.-H. c.
Frick of Pittsburg, John W. Gates OF
Chicago and George Gould of New
York have formed a pool for securing
control CT the coal lands in the Choc.
taw nation.
There are 100000 acres of these
coal lands, and the pool has agreed
TO pay about $25 an acre for the entire
area.
At present all the coal mines in the
nation are being worked under lease
but now that the allotment is to be
completed Secretary Hitchcock has
decided it will be to the interest OF
the Indians to sell the land outright
The pool is not to buy the lands in
common, but will divide them up,
Frick predicts that within a few
years the entire Western country will
be dependent on the ChoctaIg nation
for coal, and he wants to be in on the
