A Chicago business man who last
year made a trip to the Philippines
brought back with him a Filipino
youth, whose mental alertness had
made quite an impression upon him.
The oriental was installed in the Chi

did very well. Notwithstanding the
fact that he was a trihe shaky as TO

One day the Chcagoan handed the
Filipino a bill for some goods pur-

Sentiments for the Serious.

There is a tide in the affairs of CO.

leads straight TO matrimony.
Money talks and stops talk
Some orators have fine command
of other mems language.
Any one can be a power for evil
it takes character to he n power for
good.
The fact that someone else does il,
is societys excuse.
Certain men are determined TO get
their share OF what does not belong
to them.
You can lead a man to college, but
you cannot make him think.
You can fool every one save God
and yourself.
A man always with his eyes on the
ground bumps his head; man with
his nose always in the air stubs his
toe.
When he can wear his left shoe on
his right foot your pessmist will be
pleased.
Talk is not always cheap.
Money is not always the balance OF
power, gentlemen. There are those
scales in which an ounce of integrity
is worth a gold mine.

INDIA'S EARTH EATERS.
Not Unlike the Digger indians Of
America

Efforts are being made 10 stamp
out the habit OF earth eating. which
is prevalent among natives over al
most all India. writes the Calcutta
correspondent OF the Express.
In North India the favorite form OF
earth is a gray or drab colored
shale. This is eXcavated mostly at
Meth, in Bikanir, and is exported to
the Puniab at the rate Of 1000 camel
loads year.
In different districts different vari-
cites OF clay are eaten, but if the ma
tiveS have al one time a taste for a
special kind OF mud, as the habit in
creases the depraved appetite soon be.
comes satisfied with bricks and brok-
nests and ants themselves is a great
delicacy.
The reasons given for indulging in
the habit are classified under the fol-
lowing heads: Cd \ peculiar fascina-
tiung oGor and taste in the clay, rem
dering it q dol,cacy; (2) an unnatural
craving due to disease; (3) TO satisfy
hunger; ca force of example; (5)
supposed medicinal virtues.
A university graduate confessed to
a friend that the bland earthly odor
was a great temptation to him. and
the thought Of it made his mouth wa
ter. He always enjoyed the odor, he
said. when April showers fell upon
previously plrchod earth.
The effects of the habit are disas-
trous. Those women addicted to il
very soon complain first of pain and
weakness in the limbs. palpitation and
difficulty OF walking a little distance
up hill. After some time all the 9th
er symptoms of anaemia are fully es-
tablished, sallow and pale complexion,
tongue and gums bloodless, and gener-
a! debility. Very often dropsy super
yenes.
A planter in Assam almost com
pletely suppressed the habit on his
estate by making the offenders stand
out with a piece of mud in each hand

Sienor Boni has come to an inter
esting conclusion with regard to
many of the buildings belonging to
the first and second century.
He is now convinced that a large
number of them that were supposed
TO be built Of long fiat bricks are
really composed OF tiles obtained in
millions from the great Conliagrations
that devastated Rome The aQueduct
of the Aqua Tralana. the entire port
of Ostia, near FiUmcicino, tho hemicy-

and the Via Appia. including the inter
nal part of the tomb of Cecilia Metel-

formed Of thees remains.

attributed to many buildings, which
were formerly supposed TO be unques-
tionably fixed by the stamps of the
supposed bricks of which they were
composed but which Signor Boni
feels that ne has row proved were
taken from The remains of very much
