Total Rainfall Today Less Than a

Ruined Contractor.

Russell Sage, the New York finan-
cier, secured Judgment last week on a
note for 1854, 951, given by Patrick II.
Flynn, Endorsed by others. Securities
given for the note proved almost
worthless. Flynn was rich contrac-
tor until he took the Jersey City water
contract, in competition with the East
Jersey Water Company, agreeing to do
the work and guarantee everything, for
81, 595, 900. When he had squared"
everybody in Jersey City and had
agreed to pay for the water rights,
and had done some Of the most expen-
sive work, he found he could no lon
ger borrow money, all the banks re-
fusing to advance him anything more,
unless assured that Jersey City would
buy the works when completed. The
city was supposed to intend doing SO,
but there was no definite liability.
After much trouble, Flynn was COM
PEELED to turn over his contract to the
East Jersey Company, receiving for all
the great sums advanced by him only
an agreement that he should have any
profit that appeared after the work
was completed and the East Jersey
Company had received its share. No
such profit could be shown. and the
city did not take over the works. This
left Flynn without resources and he
has been compelled to sacrifice nearly
all he possessed to meet various liabil-
tiles. At present the East Jersey
Company owns the works and has a
fat contract with Jersey City for it's
water supply. 1t seems to be the only
ner.-Sunday Call.

not raise any breed OF chickens but

In the Philippines nearly everything
is made of bamboo, houses, hats, cook
ing utensils, clothing, carts, whips
and white-waSh brushes. They even
eat the tender sprouts of one variety.
The houses are built upon four stout
posts, and put together without nail
or peg, the frame being made of bam-
boo tied together with rattan. Nipa
palm leaves or woven bamboo strips
form the sides and The roof is thatcled
with nipa palm leaves or cogon, a long
grass The floor is made of bamboo
strips tied together so as to leave wide
cracks between. Swinging shades
serve for windows and a ladder takes
the place of stairs. Ventilation is the
important thing. The great advant-
age in such houses is, if an earthquake
shakes them down or typhOOn top
pers them over, no one is likely to be
hurt, the material is too light to do
any harm.
The fashionable Filipino girls are
fond of fine fabrics and rich hues and
when In full dress they are quite gor-
geous. Costly silks and the delicate
and beautiful pima cloth form their
chief attire. The pima cloth resem-
bles the finest lace. 1t is woven on
hand looms from the fibre Of the leaves
of the pineapple plant. A rich pima
cloth shawl requires the work of four
persons for from three to six months
and would cost about 5000 in the Uni
ted States. Even small handker-
chief would cost about 500.
The pima fabrics are of beautiful
cream yellow which harmonizes per-
fectly with the complexion of the
Filipino girls.

HandIfng Stable Manure.

The manure from a well fed dairy
herd is matter of great consequence,
and its proper management requires
Judgment. The better the feeding the
better the manure. While all manure
is worth good care, the better the ma
nure the more important it is to handle
it well to prevent heavy losses. The
best single piece Of advice as to han
ding stable manure is to get it from the
stable to the land where wanted with
out delay and there spread it with the
least possible expenditure of labor.
Yet this general plan must be modified
at times and according to circum-
stances. Bulletin United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
