PHILIPPINE SAVAGES.
rhs Uncouth Tinsians Are Fond OF
Ornaments and Gay Colors.

There are many strange, uncivilized
people among the Asiatic Americans
If the Philippine Islands.
The Tingians are n very uncouth
tribe OF sass~ges. Their head women
have their arms almost completely
covered with strings OF beads, wound
so as to form beautiful and striking
designs. A long, heavy string Of beads
Is also twisted around the hair and
hangs down the back like braid. The
skirt Of these head women is white,
with a blue border, and the waist Is OF
light yellow. They smoke pipes OF
solid silver, ornamented with bangles,
in the bowls OF which pieces OF cigar
are inserted.
The typical young Tingian chieftain
wears a stiff collar OF beads and gay
ly coored calico shirt over which Is a
sort OF scarf trimmed with many sill
yer coins. The members Of this tribe
are very fond Of silver. They make a
large number OF finger rings from
silver coins, and each man usually has
from five to ten Of these rings about
his person. but not necessarily on his
fingers.
The Tingians are fond Of peculiar
dance. The music is produced by beat
ing with the palms Of the hands on
"gansas" or tomtoms. The dancers, n
man and n woman, with arms out
stretched, circle about each other in 4
spiral, the man pursuing the woman
with a quick, jerky step. AS they ap
proach the center OF the spiral he sud
denly swoops upon her, when she al
ways eludes Inn by suddenly dartlng
out Of his reach.-FOrrest Clark in Les

PYTHONS AS PETS.
Tho Man Liked Them, but They Were
Not Appreciated by His Wife.

An Englishman who spent much time
IA Bengal tells In Blackwood's Maga-
zine about coupe OF pythons that
were kept as pets. He says:
lone hears a good deal about the
snakes. but one sees very little or Them
at any time and In cold weather moth
! ing at all. Ind-ed, the only snakes /
sdw were two great pythons which a
painter kept in one Of his indigo vats
for his private delectation. He loved to
watch them and feed them and poke
them with stick and see their fiat.
vicious heads drive at It with the
speed and force OF a steam hammer.
Ills wife liked them less because
one Of them had once escaped from the
vat and wandered into her bedroom
It was daytime, and she was resting
from the heat and, hearing II advance,
breathing heavily, she thought 1t was
her somewhat asthmatfcal fox terrier
and told IT to lie down. As II seemed
TO be making for her bed instead, she
looked up to find that It was one OF the
pythons looking for n warm place In
which to lie Her screams brought her
husband, who, annoyed by this esca-
pade Of pet which his wife had new
er properly appreciated, thoughtlessly
seized it by the neck. with the result
that in n twinkling It had knotted itself
around his arm and nearly pulped II
before his bearer could arrive and get
It by the tail.
1.-TWO men. It seems, can deal with a
python fairly effectively by grasping
each an end Of It, thus preventing 1t
from weaving itself into the coils that
crush. But no single man Is Of much
use. for the reason that he cannot In
The nature Of things grasp and keep
'aut an eighteen foot length Of writh-
ne muscle. The planter told me that,

blue all over. as II II had been squeezed

TIPPING AN ARTIST.
A Great Painter Who Was Not Above
Earning an Honest Quarter.

Winslow Homer was a great painter
who had the unusual good fortune &c
have his merit appreciated early In life
But no one ever presumed less on a
wide reputation. Ane"tation was q
weakness from which his sense Of hu
NOR saved him.
In his biography by Mr.. w. III. Downs
Is printed the story Of New York
gentleman OF wealth and artistic tastes
who made the Journey TO S"arboro. No
where Homer had his studio, TO make
the artists acquaintance.
On his arrival he found the studio
door locked; the owner was nowhere Ia
be seen. He wandered about the cliffs
for awhile until he met man in a
rough old suit OF clothes. rubber boots
and battered felt hat, who carried q
fshpole. He accosted the fisherman
thus:
"Say, my man, If you can tell me
where / can find Winslow Homer ]
have a quarter for you"
where's your quarter" said the
fisherman.
He handed 1t over and was astound-
ed 10 hear the quizzical Yankee fisher
man say, 81 am Winslow Homer"
The sequel Of this unusual introduc.
ton was that Homer took his new ac-
quaintance back to the studio, enter
tanned him, and before he left sold him
q picture.

REFORMED BY A SONG.
Nordica Saved Her Jewels and Made a
Thief an Honest Man.

Nine. Lillian Nordica, the singer,
once upon returning from concert
tour decided to go straight to her villa
In France, accompanied only by her
maid. She knew there were no serv-
ants there at the time, but felt no
alarm. They arrived In the early even
Ing and enjoyed being home again.
At nearly midnight they sat softly
talking together, with only the mellow
moonlight flooding the rooms, when
they heard window Off the south
balcony being raised, and an instant
later steps were heard In the hall.
Almost paralyzed with fear-no one
TO help, no weapon at hand-tbere
flashed over the prima donna realiza-
ton Of her power OF song. ut has
moved thousands" she thought, and
with trembling notes she began to sing
what had been uppermost In her
thoughts before the entrance Of the in
truder, Home, Sweet Home" The eX
quSite voice grew steadier, and 1t rang
out in its sweetest, purest strains.
Then followed "Old Folks at Home"
but her audience had gone. The maid
saw n dark figure creep through the
window and steal across the lawn and
out Of the gate.
Some weeks later Nordica received
the following letter:
Dear Madame-On the night OF the -
l entered your homo to relieve you OF all
your diamonds, jewels and money. but an
angel song rang out in the sweet words OF
mothers songs. and my hand and heart
were arrested, and l vowed never, never
again to do aught that would sorrow that
salntcd one.

bless you!

SLEEP AND REST.
Every Organ of the Human Body Has
Its Periods of Repose.

Every Organ of the Human Body Has
Its Periods of Repose.
All the organs Of life rest in some
way or other. The heart has an inter
val of rest between each combined act
Of contraction and expansion and the
beginning OF fresh act. Between
each expiration Of the lungs and the
succeeding inspiration there Is period
Of repose. Psychologists have calcu-
lated that the heart reposes during
about one-fourth Of the time. Certain
Of the other organs suspend their ac-
tivity in part during sleep.
Old psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure Of the
blood on the brain. But modern physi-
olOgy, with Il tendency to regard the
brain as the origin Of all force and Of
all functions Of the body, inclincs to
the view that sleep is caused by a
withdrawal Of blood from the brain.
AS n rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep It requires. Webster went
to bed at 9 O'clock and rose at 3. Cen
eral Grant used to say during his cam
palgns, IL can do nothing without nine
hours sleep"
A curious trait has marked men Of
large brain-that Of sleeping at Will.
Bonaparte used TO throw himself on
the ground and go to sleep within n
space of two minutes. Pitt was n
sound sleeper and slept night after
night in the house Of commons while
his colleagues watched the debate and
reused him when it was necessary that
he should spcal.-Ncw York Herald.

Graves In Pawn.

In times of financial difficulties the
Loochooans, residents Of the south
western islands OF Japan, sometimes
pawn the graves OF their relatives.
They are always redeemed, however,
failure to do so meaning family dis
grace. The turtle back shaped tombs,
usually located on hillside facing the
water are elaborate affairs OF stone
and cement, and their cost and upkeep
often bankrupt the family.

Why those headaches /!
Why should you not read more than a
few minutes without discomfort D
Why should your eyes give you trouble ?
Because it is proof of severe eye strain.
The only right way to relieve that strain
is to remove the cause. Many people have
been relieved of persistent headaches by
having their eyes correctly examined and
fitted with suitable glasses.
An examination of your eyes by our Re-
gistered Optometrist, Mr.. II. prest, will
tell whether strain is the probable cause of

 It is the intention of the Bolangers to take the next Georgia for Tenakee or sitka hot springs.
 Mir. Bolanger is an old timer hav- ing passed through in the mad rush of 1898. He will be remembered by most of those in the trail at the time on account of his team of Labrador huskies. He and his brother Ignace Bolanger attracted considerable at- tention by their "mushing trips" for the Northwest Mounted Police. Ig- mace who is the elder is probably the most renowned dog driver of Canada, having put in many years following the snowy trail before the advent of the brothers on the road to Dawson, Ignace is now on the American side down in the Yukon valley still fol lowing the lure of the yellow metal.
 After spending few weeks at the springs the Bolangers will go into Dawson again where they have lived for several years. Mir. Bolanger is engaged in mining on lower Domin ion creek.
