Macabebe was an individual to be feared
and Stunned.
Lieutenant Batson, with his detail Of
the Fourth cavalry and an interpreter,
penetrated into the heart Of the Macabebe
province and as soon as he made known
his wants and the natives learned that
he wanted men to help fight the common
enemy, the Tagalogs, the natives tumbled
over each other in their eagerness to Of
fer their services, so the Lieutenant soon
returned with a battalion composed Of
the cream of the Macabebe tribe. These
little black men soon proved their worth,
especially as scouts and guides. Their
hate of the Tagalog is intense, and not
without cause. The beginning of this
hate may be legendary. 1t Is related that
long ago the Macabebes were invited by
the Tagalogs to partake of a splendid
feast. The head men of the tribe ac-
cepted this invitation and went into Tag
alog territory, bearing numerous pres
ents. By various and skillful methods
they were foully murdered; only one of
the men in a terribly wounded condition
succeeded In returning. and before he
died told the story of the awful massa-
ere. This story may or may not be true.
but 1t Is fact that in recent years the
Tagalogs invaded Macabebe territory
and created for themselves an unenva-
BILE record Of murder and barbarity. Re-

fearful, wonderful, deep and all-con-
Stunning kind Of hate that knows no rea-
son, no palliatfon. This intense hate en-
braces everything Tagalog, and even the
cattle and dogs are not exempt For
years and years this little black man
has been praying to the various Maca-
bebe gods to send them some instrument
o. vengeance that could be effectively
used against their enemy--for in numbers
the Macabebe Is insignificant as com
pared to the dominant Tagalogs At last
the gods complied with these oft-repeat-
ed prayers and from far away across
the boundess seas they sent the mighty
white giants (the Americans), and at last
the long prayed for time Of vengeance
was at hand, and needless to say Lieu
tenant Batson had little trouble in re-
cruiting his battalion. The chiefs Of the
nation made Batson a king ana he could
have recruited a regiment every day
until the male population Of the tribe
was exhausted. but his orders only called
for a battalion.

nROF NOAH K. DAVIS, in his adj
mirable essay on the question, rs
\ Prayer Reasonable?" has occasion
to use, in an abbreviated form, passage
from Cardinal Newman's idea of Uni
versity." In describing God, the able
and learned cardinal says that he is "a
Supreme Being, the Creator, Upholder,
Governor and Sovereign Lord of all, self
dependent, and the only being that Is
such; eternal, and the only eternal; all
sufficient. all-blessed and ever-blessed; the
supreme good; omnipotent, omniscient and
omnipresent, ineffable one, absolutely per-
feet; sovereign over His own actions.
though always according to the eternal
rule of right which Is Himself; yet In the
works of creation, conservation, govern
ment, retribution, making Himself, as 1t
were, the minister and servant of all; TAX
ing an interest and having a sympathy
in matters of time and space, and impos-
ing on rational beings, in whose hearts
He has written the moral law, the duty of
worship and service"
These noble words though penned by
Roman Catholic cardinal, will commend

First Cant.iayer 9ridue

The first cantaleYer railroad bridge is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland. It ls nearly one and half miles In length Fifty one thousand tons of steel were used in it's construction, employing as many as 5,0o0 men at one time. It cost Sl6,- 0OO,0OO and fftyslx lives. The work. men began at either end and worked toward the center When they met and undertook the last connection it was found that the two ends lacked a small fraclon of aa inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion oI the bolts that were to complete the ypan. For time this was a puzzle, but was finally solved by an Ingenious wcrs man who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

Wlltno to heip,

Lord Pauncefote suffered Rr0a01 from rheumatic gout In his latter days, and he walked stiltly and sometimes had to use two canes. He went one afternoon to make call, and he re- nained quite long time, so long that the horses got restiye. and the groom walked them up and down the street When Lord Pauncefote left the houA The carriage was not in front, and Thinking there was some mistake in his orders he started to walk to the embassy, which was only a square or two. But he had twinges of his old enemy, and the payements were icy. He was large, heavily built man, and he feared fall. While he was pondering over his dilemma along came young man in working clothes, and the British ambassador, after courteous salutation, asked: My friend, will you walk beside me and help me home? It is just short ways, but l am afraid of falling. 1 shall greatly appreciate H."

From the Kitchen.

Has it ever struck one what num- Der of terms belonging to cuisine are applied to man under different circum- stances? Sometimes he is ''basted," he "boils with rage.' Is ''baked" with heat and "burns" with love or jeal- ousy. He is often ''cut up,' 'devour- ed" with flame and "done brown. !" We dress his jacket for him. Some times he is "eaten up" with cure. and occasionally he is fried" We cook v his goose" for him. and often he makes . goose" of himself. We make a hash of him, and sometimes nt makes hash of something else. He gets into hot water" and sometimes into a "mess," is made into "mince meat~ apd is often in a pickle" We are ofteu asked to toast him, and he Is frequently put into a stew or is in a stew" no one knows why. A "soft" is 'half baked" and one severe ,y handled Is well "peppered. A cheeky young imp is a sauce box" and rich father is made to fork" out-DuIdce Advertiser.

Saracen's Head Tavern.

The Saracen's Head. Snow Hill now closed. reached back to d respectable antiquity In Dick Tarltons Jests" it is referred to as the Saracen's Head without Newgate." and Stow calls it "a fair and large inn for re- ceipt of trayelers,' which hath to sign the SaraZen'S Head" It's pre- eminent interest, however, is natural ly Dickensian, and the novelist has given vivid description of the old inn as it was when Nicholas Nickleby and his uncle interviewed there the master of Dotheboys Hall. There are various accounts of the origin of the sign of the Saracen's Head. One is that it was set up as a compliment to the mother of Thomas a Beckett. who was the daughter of Saracen. In Selden's Table Talk" we read, "When our countryme came home from fighting with the Saracens they pictured them with huge, big, terrible faces, as you still see the sign of the Saracens Head is."-I4ondon Chronicle
