Quit" a number of the older pupils
of the Cony High school, are clerking
in the big stores on the street this
week, This is an arrangement that is
proving satisfactory, both to the en-
ployer and the employed, as the young
pt oplc find this an easy and congenial
method of making money for Christ
mas gifts, and ii must be said to the
credit of the High school young men
ana women. that the merchants who
command their services during holi-
day week. find them apt, polite and
intelligent clerks.

The holiday rush in the post Office
has already begun. and the clerks en-
plOyed in the mailing division will
have their hands full. literally and
fguratively. from now until Christmas
day and the day after. for that mat
ter, as the quantity of belated Christ
mas mall that comes in after the
great holiday would surprise the lay
man. The clerks employed at the
stamp window are also pretty busy
men nowadays. for it is within their
province to weigh Christmas pack
ages, that the proper amount of post
age may be affixed. A large table was
placed in the corridor of the post office
Monday for the accommodation of the
public, and the clerks will extend every
facility. to aid in the prompt handling
of holiday mails.

~APTAIN CHARLES BARR and
his crew of the yacht Atlantic
- when she stood out to sea on May
II knew what they We're going for.
They had no idea that it was a yacht
ing excursion, with wine and wassail
below decks and all hands at liberty
to stand around looking pretty, like
stage sailors.
oh. no, my hearty, they knew it was
a fight of three thousand nautical
miles that the articles of agreement
called for, and meant that the end
should be victory or Davy Jones. Thick
weather they were sure of, thick as
mustard, and there would be times
when their feet wouldn't tread the
deck for days-would just walk fore
and aft into fog, as though it was a
carpet.
They knew the yacht would be right
in the paths of the big steamships, but
it was g. with the big steamships!"
Let the big steamships keep out of the
way or they would run 'em down.
Knew they would meet ice? What
OF it? They'd grab a piece as they
went by and make themselves a cock
tail-that is, if there was anything left
TO make it of after they had been hit
with squalls and only got forward after
walking along the weather planking.
BY the sacred Goldfish! these men were
sailors-were not brought up in a cat
boat on a pond or on a canalboat
where they knock down a mule to
shorten sail.
Grub might not come regularly, and
perhaps it would be sometimes just
bareback and pull at the scuttle butt
They never thought there would be a
Waldorf with them. All had belts and
is grub struck and it wasn't to be had
just then they'd take in a couple of
holes, and, making their stomachs
smaller would think they'd had a
square meal.
These were Capt. Barr's lads, and
they did not want to be cracked over
the knuckles with a marlinspike to
know the ocean race wasn't a picnic
and that there would be variety
enough to keep them from falling
asleep or getting gouty from lack Of
exercise So when the Scillys were
reached they were pretty sure the old
packet hadn't been beaten badly. They
were right. and these best all fred
bullies that ever pulled rope had the
right TO hurrah.
That is the way the Atlantic won
the race. or something like it. Capt.
Barr hadn't salt water dudes around

Pretty Table and House Decorations

TABLE and house decorations Just
now are very much in the minds
of the many prospective brides
who will have home weddings and re-
ceptions within the next few months.
Each young woman considers this the
greatest event of her life, and she is
anxious to have every detail of the
function beautiful and effectively car
ried out.
A pretty arrangement and adornment
of the tables have everything to do with
the rooms good appearance. Small
ones, set out in horseshoe shape, make
am outline that some brides favor for
the good omen of the arrangement.
Some one with poetic understanding
Of the truth that the wife is the warmth
and light of a household, as we'll as
its center, simply grouped the tables
about the hearth, the brides being
nearest to it. Placing the tables on a
circle, with the brides in the center,
looks well. especially when hers is di-
rectly under the chandelier and gar
lands radiate from the latter to each
of the other tables. This decoration can
be used, however. only when there are
not too many points of attachment in
the circle and when the garlands are
fastened to the highest part of the
chandelier. If there are too many
strands or they are put too low down,
they will surely interfere with the
bridal party.
A glass vase completely wound with
white satin ribbon and filled with white
sweet peas. giart white sweet alyssum
and maidenhair ferns makes lovely

PETROLEUM IN PHILIPPINES
A Promising Product of Our Island
Possessions

A Promising Product or our Isiaho
Possessions
In a recent report to the United
States geological survey. on the pro-
duction of petroleum in the Philippine
islands in 1902, F. H. Oliphant predicts
that in few years petroleum will be
one of the articles exported from the
islands instead of an article of importa-
ton exclusively. Eight of the islands
contain petroleum. On the island of
Luzon there are some rich oil wells.
and capitalists usually prospect there
before they go to the other islands.
On the island of Panay deposits of oil
are located from 200 to 500 feet below
the surface. On the islands of Negros.
Cebu and Mindanao oil strata are
worked to good advantage by capital
lists. The position of these islands
would certainly indicate the probable
existence of petroleum., as Borneo, on
the southwest and japan and Formosa.
on the north, contain productive areas
that are extensively operated. The best
oil often lies 400 feet below the surface
In a stratum VI lONh' ohN'SA SAiio SoiAN
hard to pierce with native devices. but
American drilling tools cut it readily.
These oil lands are usually unclaimed
and belong to the government; or, ic
owned by one who holds one of the old
Spanish land grants, can generally be
bought at low figure. The advent of
Americans in the island has greatly
stimulated the developmeBt of the oil
fields. For the past twenty-five years
Filipino capitalists have been working
at the oil wells, and with the aid of the
Japanese have developed the richest
present time there are several well-es-
tablished and paying plants In the
islands One which is located at lsa-
dro, neg Manila, is obliged to run
night and day and tax it's machinery to
full capacity in order to meet its ord
ers. When pumped from the earth the
Philippine oils are usually dark green
in color. BY refining an average OF
eight per cent benzine Is produced
from the crude petroleum and about
40 per cent illuminating oil. The re-
mainder is gas oil and tar. From the
latter paraffin is extracted. The cost
of getting the crude oil is very low as
compared with the expense of other
countries Labor at the wells is ex-
tremely cheap. ranging from ten to
twelve cents a day. For this price the
native and Chinese laborers give full
days work and provide their own lodg-
ing and sustenance.

and unusual centerpiece for the table
the cloth is of lace the vase should
be set on a lace dolly, and bit of fern
laid about its base to distinguish it
more clearly from the dolly. The vase,
slender and absolutely smooth of sur
face, and at least ten inches high,
should be closely wound with two inch
ribbon, and if fancied a bow may be
tied low down on the stem. A little
fitting and a few stitches are needed to
cover the base and the lip of the vase.
A little white satin slipper overflow
ing with blossoms and resting on bed
of them is a dainty decoration for all
the tables at wedding feast if one
cares to buy so many slippers.
Wedding rings were symbolized in the
centerpieces at recent breakfast. They
We're two inch wide interlaced hoops,
thickly sewn with flowers and mounted
on a standard. To keep them as true
to their originals as possible they We're
as golden as genesta and acacia blooms
could make them. The standard was
hidden under ferns and vines With
this ON every cover were laid welded
roses" These were a conceit of the
brides fancy and were merely two
bride roses. whose long stems were
slipped through a little ring of gold
wire for half their length.
A tiny dove cote. emblematic of peace
full family life, reared itself on gilded
pole before the bridal party. 1t had
been mere outline in wire until thick
ly woven with vines. Beneath It tam
