IMDNDN'ROUT

A PATRIOTIC TEACHER.

WE ARE GREAT LITIGANTS.

Tho seekers of stranpe modes of life and the student of the habits of people who have had little contact with civilization and have primitive homes can be satisfied by a visit to almost any of the other larger islands than Luzon in tho Philippine archipelago, as, for instance, Negros, Palawan, Mindanao and Samas. In any of these isl nnds, says a Manilla letter in the New York Times, there can be found tens of thousands of natives who, like generations of their ancestors, have never left their little island homes, and have not the faintest idea that there is any world beyond their islands. Here the race is mixed and the residents are almost 'of as light complexions as the residents of Manilla. The young men and women are comely, and a great many of the women between the ages of sixteen and twenty are of striking beauty. On many islands there live the Locals, who are supposed to be the aborigines of tho archipelago, and to be of Malay origin. They are an interesting race for any anthropologist to study. Travelers who have trotted about the globe say that the Locals in the Philippine islands and the Panays in Borneo are about the laziest people that live. They do absolutely nothing that is unnecessary for living and dreaming. They have immense families—often twenty children in a house, and there are a multitude of cases of parents having fifteen and eighteen boys and girls. Every family has its own house, but five dollars will build a large and superior bamboo hut, and one dollar will make a better domicile than thousands of the Bocals own. The whole family, no matter how numerous, is crowded into one room at night, the sleepers reclining on heaps of dried banana leaves. Strange to say, the women are a cleanly people. They bathe every day and are expert swimmers. They are proud of their teeth, and take pains to frequently polish them with rude brushes made of the ureca tree. The poorer people have no other cooking utensils than an earthen pot, and the aristocrats have u few cast-iron pans and big rough, earthen dishes. The substitute for cotton and woolen goods is called moulfia cloth, and it is made from the moufila plant, which is :i species of hemp. The liber of this plant is coarse, stiff and not at all pliable. It is the white, inner surface of the long, thin shoots that is used. The natives pull the fiber out, wet the finger and twist the thread, which, as n consequence, is uneven and full of little bunches. Very little moufila cloth is exported from the island, as it has an extensive domestic use. It takes an industrious woman several weeks to make a strip of moufila cloth ten feet long and three feet wide. Flax being almost unknown on the island, the only other material for cloth is silk. The Philippine forests are full of mulberries, and silk was woven long before white men came to the islands. Some of the Philippine silk is as fine as the finest China silk. Much of it is elaborately brocaded, although the process requires au immense amount of time, as the threads which form the pattern have to bo tied up each time separately. The nambilla, a square piece of brocaded silk, forms the principal garment of the richer natives on the smaller islands. This is six feet vide by seven feet long, and requires about seventeen months for its manufacture. A Philippine weaver takes her child on her back and weaves for half an hour, then she goes down to the stream and draws u jug of water, or down to the seashore for a swim in the surf. After weaving a few minutes more, she again goes to the brook or to the shore, and washes out some single article of clothing, never washing out more than one garment at a time, so during the day she probably puts in about six hours at the loom.

ARRANGED HIS OWN FUNERAL.

Anil to Make Assurance Doubly Sun* Hail a Drcas Reheargal. An eccentric citizen residing in tho neighborhood of Avignon had drawn up a special programme for his own funeral, and, in order to make assurance doubly sure and to see that every item w as faithfully carried out, lie had a rehearsal of the ceremony, says a Paris letter to the London Telegraph. Bichaud, who is described as “an excellent republican,” is no friend of the church, unu he has accordingly substituted various songs of a political character for the mass for the iV'ad. He had already had a tomb constructed in a valley, far from the busy haunts cl men, so there was no difflcnlty in the selection of a ground on which this rehearsal should be held, and after hiring a local band he issued invitations to the ceremony. Tho procession started from his house, Bichaud leading the way with the banner of the Mairic, and so the party advanced to the valley in which the tomb which La to be liLs last resting place has been erected. When all were gathered around the future grave a venerable republican moved forward, and, in a voice quivering with emotion, delivered an address, in which lie dwelt on the good qualities ot Bichaud, whom he particularly praised for having “been present during his lifetime at his own interment.” Various pieces of music chosen by the organizer of this peculiar ceremony were then performed by the band, the programme concluding with songs and dances, as Citizen Bichaud is kindly anxious that the spirits cf the mourners when the genuine funeral comes off shall bo raised ere they quit his grave and wend their way from the peaceful valley where his remains will repose back to the noise and turmoil of life. It is amusing to hqpr that the population was much Impressed by the “grandeur” of this rehearsal.

Hew a I’olltcly SarriMtlr Little Italian Wue Crunhed. An Italian gentleman whom I met while traveling disclosed a most de- 1 praved Inappreciation of the wonderful vastness of the United States, says a writer in Scribner’s. Ho spoke English very well, for he had been many years in London, and, as we were enjoying the sea coast view between Pisa and Via Beggio, he asked politely whether I was not an Anier- 1 icau from “the states.” On learning that I was he begged me to tell him something of our government. “You have a president of the conn- 1 try, the whole states, is it not?” he inquired, earnestly. I nodded assent. “Va bene! If a man kills—murders, you understand—who tries him, the federal or state courts?” “The state courts,” I replied, “unless it is a case of treason.” “If lie is convicted, who can pardon I him—tlie president, of course?” he J asked, with calm assurance and a slight emphasis on the “of course.” “No, indeed; the murderer is tried in the state courts; he can be pardoned only by the state board of pardons, if ! there is one, or by the state's chief • officer—the governor. The president • lias nothing to do with it.” “Well!” flashed my companion, sar- ] castically, “in Italy the governor of a little petty province lias not the pardoning power.” “.Sir,” I thundered, now thoroughly angry, “Italy will go twice into the petty province of Texas.” It was very naughty to get angry, and especially with such a politely sarcastic little Italian. I know it. But who could sit still and hear the sheer, unapproachable — nay glorious — immensity of our country assailed without getting angry? No one except the audacious fop, who every now and then annoys us with a brazen assertion that bigness is, after all, not such a virtue.

QUEER VERSION OF THE FLOOD. Indian Tradition Which Is ('harortcrl*tlc of Their lum^lrmtion. Here is an Indian version of the story of the flood, as it was taken by a writer connected with an Australian journal. Says he: “All of the northern coast Indians have a tradition of a flood which destroyed all mankind except a pair, from which the eartli was peopled. Each tribe gives the story a local coloring, but the plot of the story is much the same. The Bella Coola tradition is a follows: Tho Creator of the universe, Mes-mes-sa-la-nik, had great difficulty in the arrangement of the land and water. Tho earth persisted in sinking out of sight. At last he hit upon a plan which worked very well. Taking a long line of twisted walrus hide, he tied it around the dry land and fastened the other end to the corner of the moon. Everything worked well for a long time; but at last the spirit became very much offended at the action of mankind, and in a fit of anger one day seized his great stone knife, and with a mighty hack severed the rope of twisted skin. Immediately the land began to sink into the sea. The angry waves rushed in torrents up the valleys, and in a short time nothing was visible except the peak of a very high mountain. All mankind perished In tho whelming waters, with the exception of two, a man and his wife, who were out fishing in a great canoe. These two succeeded in reaching the top of tho mountain, and proceeded to make themselves at home. Here they remained for some time, until the auger of Mes-mes-sa-la-nik had eooled, which resulted in his fishing up the severed thong and again fastening it to the moon. From this pair thus saved the earth was again populated.” Africans and the Steamboat. They were perfectly frantic with mingled dread and curiosity at sight of the steamer. They shouted and danced and waved their arms in imitation of our revolving stern wheel. They followed us, running along the banks for miles together. Occasionally some specially brave ones would rush out into the water to have a long, unobstructed look at us. The expression on the countenances of the natives on the shores would make the fortune of an actor who could imitate it They would stand with their bodies partly turned away, in order to dart into the bush at the slightest ir.dioati hi of danger, overwhelmed with awe and inquisitiveness, a few only during to laugh, while the whole river echoed with their exclamations of astonishment and their crazy shouts. * • • tVhcn the steamer's whistle was blown the hundreds who had collected on the bank at once stampeded pell-mell over each other and into the wood and tall grass. Our men greeted them with shouts of laughter and calls to come back; but it was to no purpose; they would not again come so near. A Kaow-Nothtnf- Jury. The difficulty of impaneling a jury in the early courts of Wisconsin may be seen from nn incident related in “The Bench and Bar of Wisconsin:” Judge Irvin was on the bench, and a murder trial was pending. G. T. Long, familiarly known as “Lucy” Long, was under sheriff. There was difficulty in getting a jury which knew nothing about the facts of the ease. The regular panel had been exhausted, and a special venire had been issued, and was finally returned. “Well, Mr. Long,” asked the judge, “have you at lust socured a sufficient number of jurymen who know nothing nliout this case?” “Yes, sir,” replied tho polite officer. “Six of them know nothing about this case, and the other six know nothing at all.”

MernmKU in Folk Lore. All the world over there are legends about meremaids. The Chinese tell stories not unlike others about the seawnmnn of their southern seas. Mankind is taught on the most excellent evidence that a mermaid was captured at Bangor on the shores of the Belfast Lough, in the sixth century, while another caught at Edam in 1403, was carried to Haarlem and kept there for many years.

More Civil La\v*uit* Her© Than In Any Other Country In the World. A man of ingenious mind, and apparently ample leisure, has gone to the trouble of figuring out the number of lawsuits brought in each country in a year, and he has reached the conclusion tliat the United States is a better country for attorneys and counselors than any other civilized land under the sun. He figures as lawsuits civil actions only, taking into no account proceedings of a criminal character brought by the public authorities against individuals. He has ascertained that, taking the figures for the last 10 years as a fair average, there are 1,250,000 lawsuits brought in England every year, 750.000 iu France, 1,400,000 in flaly, 3,300,000 in Germany Mid B(800J 00 In the United States, It is not to be inferred from ttiis, says the New York Sun, that the people of one country are much more prone to litigation than arc the people of another, but the explanation Is to be found in the faut that the conditions of litigation vary exceedingly. Going to law in England is very expensive business, for it entails outlays in the form of costs and expenses so large that many of the courts are practically closed to persons of modest means, and n long litigation unsuccessfully pursued ends often in bankruptcy. In France the number of lawsuits is kept down through the general practice of "arbitration.” as many as 10!).003 cases in a year, especially those arising from disputes ever wages, being settled by this agency without onerous co >t to either party. In Germany a great majority of cases are petty ones, involving a small amount of money and due, many of them, to customs or usages which are not sufficiently defined to lie, in nil coses, similarly understood by both parties to au agreement. Tins is especially the case in the farming districts of Germany, and there are many legal disputes in the manufacturing districts, too. The number of eases credited to the United States seems enormous, but it is probably accurate. There are, for example, eleven district courts for the disposal of civil cases in New York city. In one of these courts, bp- recent report, the number of actions brought in a year was shown to be 9,100. These courts have before them each year, on the average, 75,090 cases. The eases brought in the state courts of New York amount in a year to about 150,000, and of those brought in the federal courts New York furnishes a very large number. Taking tho whole country through, it seems that the average number of cases per thousand of population is in the neighborhood of 75 to 80. The number of lawyers in the United States is materially larger than in any other country in the world, and the amounts in dispute here are much greatei than elsewhere.

THE WOMAN DOCTOR. !trminding I*, of the Eternal und Imma table IlUparlty of Sex. The woman doctor is already an accomplished fact, but as yet she has apparently made no considerable way in public favor, says the Scottish Kcvicw. It map- be contended that there is something in the art of healing in accord with the prhnarp’ instincts of a woman’s nature. But if we look closer into the subject it will be seen that there is more than mere prejudice and longestablished custom to account for the exclusion of the female sex in the past from the practice of this calling. Have women the calmness of nerve — the aplomb, so to say—the steadiness of hand and pulse for the work of the surgeon? Is it possible to suppose that n non-abnormal woman, with her more highly strung constitutional sensibility, could amputate a limb with the same irr.p 'rturhnbilitp’ that we should look for in the male operator? To tins it map- be replied that granting a certain drawback to women bv reason of sox in the matter of surgical experiments, the case is different with the "metier" of the php-sician, and that here, at least, the sexes can compote on terms of perfect equality. Yet. egain, ns a matter of plain fact, are tho services of lady doctors much in request with their own sex—ncy, even in those branches of the therapeutic art dealing with specially feminine aliments? Moreover, If the advanced woman’s theory of exact professiontl e'piaHty ami indifferjcnep as to sex is to be inamluincd, whp should aap’ barrier suggest it.Self to the consultation of medical women bp- men, ary more than now exists iu the calling in of women of the male practitioner? But is there no sm-h barrier? Surely the mere statement of the case disposes of the paritp- urgument. We have heard of a man here and there resorting to lady experts in massage, but that men should go to women doctors and lap- bare their bodilp- symptoms in the same wap* as women have dune from time immemorial to their male medical advisers, would be a procedure repugnant on both sides, and “not convenient" for obvious reasons. Here, then, while admitting that a sprinkling of females may, perhaps, usefully find their mission iu obtaining employment as doctors among n limited number of their own sex, we are brought face to face with the eternal and. immutable disparity of sex

Columbian naif Dollars. Columbian centennial coins not heretofore circulated have been found frequently in change of late. They are the fifty-cent pieces of 1893, and the reason given for their appearance is that many coin collectors and others believed that immediatelp* after the Columbian exposition they would have special value as rarities and so hoarded them for a premium. They were so held for the better part of two years, but no appreciation in value followed, and now they have beeu thrown upon the market and are freely circulated. They have a more attractive appearance than the regular fifty-cent pieces, but this superior attractiveness lias not, to any visible extent, mitigated the regret which coin collectors had in parting with

THIEVING BLUEJAYS.

i

A Family of Tlwm ISrlnR Sorrow to tho Heart of a Soapmaker. Samuels, the Massachusetts ornithologist, in one of his books tells a story of a bluejap* and a bit of soap. It was the last piece of soap that a collecting party in the Adirondack wilds possessed, and when the theft was committed by the bird the Action was noted carefully for more than scientific reasons. Bird students know that the jay will take almost anything in sight and eat ninetenths of what he takes, but they thought he drew the line on soap. It has been left to a family of Highland Bark (111.) jays to bear out Samuels’ story and to break the soap-eating record, says the Chicago Tribune. On the west side of the track in tho suburb lives a German who thought last week that he would try the experiment of making soap for sale. He collected the proper ingredients, put them together, stirred them to the con-1 sisteney of paste, and then just at even- ; ing he patted a cake and put it on a board in his yard to see if it would 1 harden over night. He slept n little | late and when lie finally went to lock at his soap cake, behold! it had all vanished save a thin edge. That was beautifully hard, though, and not stopping to eonjeeture what had become of the rest of the cake he stirred up the remainder of his mixture and patted cakes until he had twenty-four, each weighing one-quarter of a pound. The suu had passed behind the heavy oaks in the yard, so the German went to the edge of the road, placed his boards so that the ends rested on two barrels, and put thereon his soap cakes that they might harden. A cement sidewalk was in process of construction across the road and a "boat” full of Portland cement mixed to mush with water and “torpedo" sand, was adjacent and parallel to the board and its load of cakes. Tho sidewalk contractor was across tho road and the soapmakcr went over to talk with him. His back was turned on his sticky product, taking advantage of which fact, for this bird is sharp—a family of seven blue jays, five fullfledged 3*oung and the two parents, descended on the board und attacked the soap. The contractor saw* them and watched in amazement. They devoured the mixture of lye and grease as a donkey devours thistles. Then the sidewalk man gasped out: “Hans, they are eating your soap.” The German turned, saw the last bit of one cake disappear, and then grabbed «. big, round, smooth stone, such us the lake casts up, and threw it, as a man "lints" a shot, straight at the robbers. The birds rose, calling: “Thief, thief!” vociferously, for the bluejay is given to calling himself names. The stone landed on the edge of the board and turned the entire soap product into the sticky mass of Portland cement, Soap and cement were ruined. The jays did not stop to decide which was the madder of the men, but made their way toward the ravine drive, loudly calling “Thief!” as they went.

AN INSECT'S QUEER APPETITE. It Prefers a Diet of Ocean Caliles to Any. thing Else. A curious fact was brought under the attention of the visitors assembled at the opening of the Telephone Trunk lines recently, says the London News. A porton of the cable laid across from Portpatriek to Donaghadec was shown around, and it was pointed out that the five insulated copper wires constituting the core of the cable—the real telegraphic cable—were iu ased in a sheathing of brass which Lad been wound around them in the form of a thin metal tape. The object of this was to protect the guttapercha insulation from the attack of a minute marine organism known as the “gribble.” There was a time, of course, when the gribble knew nothing about telegraphic insulating materials, and indeed over a large part of the sea bottom such modern luxuries are quite unknown. But the era of marine telegraphy seems to have created a new taste in these tiny creatures wherever cables have been laid down, just as animals of larger proportions have acquired the taste for bananas or potted anchovies. They find their way in between the sheathing of strong iron wire and eat through everything in the way of insulating material till they get to the copper strands, when, of course, the water gets in and the conducting power of the cable is at an end. The curious fact is that the ravages af the gribble were unknown in the early days of ocean telegraphy, and that this peculiar taste is not only an acquired one, but seems to he extending in just the Same way ns the acquired tastes of human beings. At present the fashion of guttaperaha eating does not go further uuriii limn I’orlputrick. But it has long been moving northward, and will probably soon be universal. The brass proves an effectual harrier so far, but whether these little denizens of the deep may not by and by find even metal tape a piquant addition to their larder remains to be seen.

THE ONWARD HARCH

emaciation rnd weakness.

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported tons as cured by “Golden Medical Discovery ’’ were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in misrepresenting them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of ' Golden Medical Discovery," but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty codliver oil and its filthy “emulsions” and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to benefit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophosphites had also been faithfully tried in vain. The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of 160 pages which will be mailed to you, on receipt of address and six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured and learn their experience. AddressWoRLD’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N.Y.

A FOUR-CENT FEE.

Perhaps the Smallest Commission Ever Paid a Lawyer. ( *.0 of the smallest fees ever received by any attorney was received the othei day by Daniel J* O’Brien, who receive: a check from the United States nay office, drawn on the assistant Unitec. tates treasurer at New York, for the sum of four cents. This check, says the Albany Argots, has a story attached to it. During tho war of the rebellion Mr. O’Brien was an oiiicer on a cruiser of the northen army, on which Bichard \V. Allen, als: of Albany, was landsman. At theelos* of the war the government distributed among tho seamen of the navy the prize’ money made by selling vessels captured during the war. In this distribution Allen, who, with O'Brien, left the navy at the end of the war, was omitted. O’Brien, acting as Allen's attorney, sent in u claim for prize money to Uj®* navy department in 1^07, and since then, through tho succeeding twenty-eight years, lie pressed Allen’s claims at intervals. To each demand sent in the navy department responded that the matter was under consideration. « The postmaster ha' ded Mr. O’Brien n letter from thu'nuW doparlmenig . Mr. O’Brien opened it, and there lay tho cheek he had been expecting for, twenty-eight years. He glanced hastily at the figures on tho precious slip of paper, and thought they read “$400.” lie glanced at the letter accompanying it, and read that the amount was “four cents” for attorney's fees. Mr. O’Brien sought his client, Allen, and found him gaz'ng at a check for thirty-five cents, his prize money, which he had received a few days before, and hud had framed and hung over hla chlniney-piecc.
