Soft Coal For Warships.

Notwithstanding the experience
of the navy with anthracite coal in
the past, the navy department will
carry out some so called experiments
with this variety of fuel in the I'M
mediate future. 1t has been truly
said by the older officers in the navy
that the battle of Santiago could
never have been fought with hard
coal in the bunkers of the American
fleet. The facility with which steam
can be raised with bituminous coal
when a sudden emergency arises can
never be attained where anthracite
coal is employed. Bulk for bulk,

In the DAYS when this country had

in which il was preserved sometimes

strict di,oiplinarian, had considera-

his company who. being llibcrnlans
from different counties, were dis

themselves.
Once when Captain TroXcll was
officer of the day the sergeant OF the
guard. strapping lrishman, who
himself disapprovcd these frequent
fights as being subverslve of diScl-

customary salute and said:
officer of the day, sir, have the
honor to rcpor. that Private Muir
ply. of your company, prisoner IN
the post guardhouse, struck at me
with a pickay handle.
Captain Troxell returned the sa-
lutte and merely said, "All right"
A few minutes later the sergeant
of the guard presented himself again
and after salutin. said:

honor to report that Private Muir,

Once more the captain returned

The sergeant of the guard stooC

A correspondent reports this con-

living in Manila and one of her Fill

CHINESE ETIQUETTE.
u Is a Curious Hixtu-s Of Ceremony
and Deceit.

Very curious are some of the
r,les II etiquette observed by Chi
namen. Emile Bard. who h.s writ
ten book ON the subject of CHINESE
life. saws that in nine eases out oi
ten. however. the form Of etiquette
mas replaced the substance. With
the Chinese refusal or unpleasant
truth must be expressed cyasNely.
If a Chinaman does not wish TO
accommodate a friend he never
gives the true reason for ms re-
fusal. That would be discourtcou>.
He lies politely. The ccr,monious
forms of expression used in ordinary
conversation seem very amusing Ia
the European listener. 1t Is fixed
rule that one must speak oI himself
and of all belonging Ia HIM IN the
humblcst of terms and use the most
exalted language in referring to the
person or property of another.
Whether two mandarlnS or two beg
CARS meet and accoSt each other
this is A sample of their conyerSa-
ton: "What is your honorable
nance" "Iour insignificant broth
er's name is Wang Where Is
YOUR noble dwellng:" The hovcl
in which | hide myself is in -
designating the place. How many
precious sons have YOU Il have
only five stupid little pigs"
4 Chinaman, wearing his finest
gown of silk, called at house where
he happened to disturb rat which
was RECALLING itself ont of a jar OF
oil standing on beam over the
door. In It's sudden fright the rat
upset the oil over the luckless Wis
itor. running his fine ramcnt. While
the man was still pale with rage hi,
host appeared, and after the Gus,
tomary greetings the visitor ac'
counted for his appearance IN tins
wise: CAS- | was entering your hon

honorable rat. While it was tryln!
to escape it upset your honorable
jar of oil over my poor and mslg
nifcant clothing. This explains thu

1t is a gross otfensc to call a ma
tive by his name. A superior ma
do this, but he becomes furious
even a twin brother thus addreSse
him. 1t must be either "honorabl
elder brother" or honorable youI
ger brother or some such form c
expression. Foreigners usually soly
the difficulty by applying to the
servants the names of their funo
tons, as boy, cody, gardener, cool

American Ice Cream Habit.

When | was in New y DIRK the cx-
traordinary amount Of ice cream de-
voured by Americans was proved to
me by the large area devoted in the
department stores to the sale of thl,
popular refreshment. Il guess We
Americans have cast iron tiXings,"
said one of them when | expressed
my establishment at the way in
which even elderly men and women
took ice cream at social festivities.
Certainly the ice cream habit must
have something to do with the indi-
gestion from which so many suffer
in the summer. At all the parties
one attends in America ice cream is
an inevitable item on the menu, and
it is consumed in quantities which
would delight a London caterer who
charges by the quart. - London

FAMOUS BALANCERS.
Some Of the Wonderful Fcats Perform
ed BY hindoo Girls.

The dcxterity Of the lIindoos in
tumbIing and rope dancing and
legerlcmain is so much superior to
that of Europeans and japanese
that the statements Of travellers on
the subject were much doubted I'M
til they were brought TO exhibit
their singular feats in this country.
Nothing is more common in India
than to see Young girls walking on
their heads, with their heels IN the
air, turning round like a wheel or
walking on the hands and feet with
the body bent backward. Another
girl will bend backward, plunge her
head into a hole about eighteen
inches deep, full of water and dirt,
and bring up between her lips az
ring that is buried in the mud. Two
women may frequently be seen dane
ing together in a rope stretched
over trcstles, the one playing on the
vina, or Ilindoo guitar, and the 9TH
err holding two vessels brim[ul of
water and capering about without
spilling drop.
4 plank is sometimes fixed to the
top of pole twenty-five feet high,
which is set upright, A man then
climbs up it, springs backward and
seats himself upon the plank. An
other mountebank balances himself
by the middle of the body on BAN
boo pole fifteen or eighteen feet
high. lie first sets it upright and
then climbs up it with his legs and
arms. as if it was firmly rooted
tree. On reaching the top he clings
to it with his feet and hands, after
fixing the center of the pole in the
middle of his sash, and dances, NOV
ing about in all directions to the
sound Of music, without the pole
ever losing its equilibrium. lie then
descends, takes a boy on his Shout
ders, climbs up the~pole again and
stands on the top on one leg, Some
times boy lies across the extremity
Of the bamboo and holds himself
quite stiff for considerable time.
A man lifts up the pole and the boy
in that state and moves with them
about in all directions without los
ING the balance. a still more ex-
traordinary feat is performed by
the lIindoo women. One of them
will sometimes balance herself in a
horizontal position, with her arms
extended like a person swimming, on
the top Of bamboo pole ninety feet
high, fixed in the ground. In a
short time she seems to have lost
her balance and falls, to the no
small terror of the spectators, but
this is only one of her customary
movements. She catches by one foot
in a rope fastened to bar which
crosses the middle of the pole and
remains suspended with her head
downward. ...

WINNING HIS NAME.
~ Indian Boys Battle With a Wolf
In Old Newfoundland.

With the following somewhat
CORY scene Theodore Roberts opens
his story Of old Newfoundland,
"Brothers Of PERIL" The boy
struck again with his flint knife, aud
again the great wolf tore at ms
shoulder. The ewes 81 the boy were
fierce as those Of the beast. Neither
waycrcd. Neither showed any signs
of pain. The dark spruces stood
above them, with the first shadows
of night in their branches, and the
western sky was stained red where
the sun had been. Twice the wolf
dropped his antagonists shoulder
in a vain attempt to grip the throat.
/ The boy, pressed to the ground,
| flung himself about like Il dog and
repeatedly drove his clumsy weapon
into the VOLTS shaggy side. At last
the fight ended. The great timber
wolf lay stretched dead in awful
passiyeness. His fang, CLEANED like
ivory between his scarlet jaws and
black lips. \ simmer Of white
menaced the quiet wilderness from
the recesses of the half shut eyelids.
For a moment the boy lay still,
with the fingers Of his left hand
buried in the VOLTS name and his
right hand a blot of red against the
VOLTS side. Presently. staggering
on bent legs, he went down to the
river and washed his mangied arm
and shoulder in the cool water. The
shock of it cleared his brain and
steadied his ewes. He waded into
the current to his middle, stopped
to the racing surface and drank I'M
stintingly. Strength flooded back
to blood and muscle and the slender
limbs regained their lightness.
by this time a few pale stars
CLEANED on the paler background of
the eastern sky. \ long finger streak
of red, low down on the hilltops
still hghtencd the west. The boy
saw nothing Of the changing beauty
of the sky. He returned to the dead
wolf and set about SHINING it will
his rude blade. He worked witt
skill and speed. Soon head and pelt
were clear of the red carcass, and
collecting his arrows and box, h,
flung the prize across his shoulder
and started along faint tran
! through the -pruces.
