Presen/lag Order in the Philippines. There Trould be no need of a large army to preserve order in the Philip pine Islands. In 1851 the Spaniards only had seven battalions of infantry, two squadrons of lancers and about 1,000 artillerymen. The latte?, and the sergeants of the other troops, were Spaniards, the others natives. This force was kept In Manila. Cavite wae garrisoned by the navy, and the rural districts had a native police under Spanish officers. This anny was large enough until the Spanish-French ex pedition to Cochin-China caused new .battalions of infantry to be raised for foreign service. Subsequently Spanish misgovernment and over heavy taxa tion made the natives rebellious; and then came the supposed need of more troops. What was really needed was justice, official honesty and moderate taxation.-The Independent. China's Powerful Sword. There is an ancient and dreadful sword in China.

In the henrt ?f the highlands there are still many who speak it and nothing else, and in Glas gow we have a large Gaelic commun ity where this tongue is used in all In tercourse among residents of the quar ter and English in Intercourse with the rest of the world. The language, how ever, is dying, because it is not foster ed by education and because the con quering English is the language of commerce and literature. To check the decay of Gaelic and of Celtic senti ment it has been proposeu that a chair for the Celtic language and history be established nt Glasgow university. Various Celtic societies have tuleen the matter up, a joint petition has been presented to the university court and another to the senatus academlcus and there are good h'opes that the move ment will be successful. We do not, of course, forget that after the late Professor Blackie, by dint of almost superhuman effort, established such a chair at Edinburgh university not enough students to form a class could be round, but we believe that in Glas gow, where the Gaelic element is so much more pronounced, this difficulty will not bc encountered. In any case, lt is a pity if we cannot do something to repel the sneer that ls often flung nt us, that the Gaelic is better loved arid better fostered by Celts in the United States and Canada than it ls at home. .-Chicago Record.

Varieties In Caben and West Indian Waters fei Evil Reparation. ?"here is a belief among the fisher men of Cuba that some bf the fish there are poisonous. If asked the cause, one reply is thar there is so much copper in the water that it pois ons the fish. This is a fisherman's rea son, yet the fact holds that in ali wat* ers there are fish that are poisonous. In Cuban waters the Jack-Caranx-ls a common table fish. On the Florida reef all kinds are eaten, and one rare ly hears of a poisonous fish, yet in Ha vana there is a law which prevents the sale of jacks of over two pounds, for the reason that a poisonous Caranx exists which attains a weight ot twen ty-five pounds. This, when the law is enforced, cuts out of the Cubdn dietary n number of fishes. The poisonous jack is known to sci ence as Caranx fallax, its common name in Cuba being juvel. It is diffi cult for the layman to distinguish be tween the poisonous and the non-poi sonous jacks. Another jack, Caranx plumier*.!, commonly seen in the Ha vana market under the local name of chicaro, is readily eaten, but accord ing to Dr. Kornemann, the natives of the West India islands are afraid to eat it at certain seasons. At Guada lupe, as an example, it is eaten at times without ill effect, while at oth ers the flesh assumes a coppery hue, the bones turn red and it is exceed ingly poisonous, so much so that Dr. Hornemann states that it is used to poison rats. Dh Oscar Tybrlng has collected much interesting information on this subject, and especial attention is given to emphasize the fact that some fishes are poisonous at certain times. The writer's belief is that locality has much to do with it. During several years residence at Garden Key, severi ty miles from Cuba, an instance of any one's being poisoned bj- the local fishes was never heard of by him. The bar racuda was at all times considered a fine table fish, but a fisherman from Cuba who fished down the channel islands could hardly be induced to take large specimens of the fish, which he said were poisonous around Cuba. One form, which attains a length of twelve or more feet, ' was considered especially poisonous. This fish, which was i a variably found to be a good table fish in Florida, was regarded with suspicion in Bahama. One of the signs of poison given is "black at the roots of the sharp teeth." but this sign has no meaning in Florida. The barra cuda is common at Rio. and, according to Mericourt. some of' thc men of a French frigate were badly poisoned by eating it. The raurries in Florida, snake-like eels of ferocious appearance and na ture, are often said to be poisonous, but the writer experimented with them and found them palatable, if one could forget the snake-like mouth, white, j leopard-like markings and the certain ly disagreeable features of the fish. 1 This is the fish that was so esteemed by the old Kornaus: yet it was impos sible to induce a fisherman on the out er reef to eat a murry, and some af firmed that those around the Bahamas were dendly poison. Certain localities have become notori ous for th ir poisonous tish, as the Cape of Good Hope, where the crews of ves sels are invariablj' warned not to eat the fish; and in cases observed here the symptoms were remarkably like those of cholera. The richly colored fishes have an evil reputation everywhere, but this certainly does not apply to the Florida species. According to Horne mann, poisonous species are known xt the Isle of Trance, in the Antilles, and in China and Japan. He mentions two species in the waiers"of the Seychelles At Guaraloupe one of the gar fishes Belone cariboea-is known as a poison ous fish; yet the writer preferred it to all the small fishes and never heard the fish mentioned in Florida as being poisonous. That it is so in other lo calities there can be no doubt, as Dr. Hornemann says it is especially dan gerous during the spawning season and that the roe should bc avoided. He quotes cases where people in San Do mingo have died from eating the fish, and advises sailors to avoid f.shcs of this kind. In Japanese waters several fish are said to be poisonous, especially En graulis jap?nica, which is dangerous from July to September, and in almost every foreign country fish will be found that arc avoided. On the Amer ican coast true cases of poisonous fish are undoubtedly very rare, and, put ting prejudice and legends aside, the list of so-called poisonous fishes would be very materially reduced.-New York Sun. vhat torture is. vhether well or ill.

A BALLOON STOWAWAY THE REMARKABLE AERIAL ADVEN TURE OF A VERMONT FARMER. Encone McCarthy's Sensational Vo.vn.jje to rt Hoijjht of 3000 Feet from the Mad Ki vcr Valley Kalr? Grounds In 1897 Iiii. Experiences While ott the Trip. Eugene McCarthy, a tall, Blender Irish Yankee, Who died recently at the mountain village at Waitsville) Vermont, made a sensational voyag? at the Mad River Valley fair Sept. 1; 1897, in a hot air balloon; Tangled in the car ropes; a prisoner by acc? dent, he shot into the Ur far above the bare top Of Bald mountain. He rose to a height of 3000 feet, and after struggling and dangling iii mid-air helpless b?l?w the car, he returned to earth, not h corpse; bnt the same rug ged Green Mountain farmer. Moro than 2000 spectators had as sembled at thc fair grounds in order to witness the balloon ascension. To make the ascension as advertised the professor called to the crowd for vol unteer workmen. Eugene McCarthy responded and took his assigned sta tion inside the canvas balloon car. On the outside by this time the huge bag had been raised and supported securely by guy ropes on all sides; A fire had been started in a tunnel iu order to finn ir h the necessary hot nm Fed by k?roseue, the flame ran through the tunnel And came up in side the Uplifted bag with a stream of sparks. McCarthy and the pro fessor were there to prevent these sparks from firing th? cloth; Gradu ally, as the current of hot air swept into the car, the top part swelled forth until the airship became rest less in ifs attempts to leap heaven ward. By the faint applause outside McCarthy knew that the young wom an performer, who hud beeu adver tised to make tho descent in a para chute, was ready to start. At a given signal, in order to es cape entanglement in the ropes fast ened from tho balloon car to the para chute, McCarthy jumped to the ceu tre of his small circle of space. But he caught the hot air from the tunnel full in his face. Half-blinded by smoke and flame, ho naturally stepped back, and UL intentionally placed a foot across -. raised parachute rope. So, when tho balloon ear, freed from guy ropes, jumped upward, the volunteer workman felt the ro2)e tighten und r his leg. By natural impulse ho grabbed the rope overhead in order to keep himself from falling head downward. He accordingly soon found himself, not on the ground where he belonged, but in mid-air, swinging twenty feet above the para chute performer and rushing skyward at express train speed. In the first confusion of tho start upward the spectators did uot recog nize McCarthy in the balloon. They sa? i stranger in the rigging dangling below the big canvas bag, and natur ally thought, as everything went up noiselessly, his presence there au ad vertised part of the program. What made the double ascension still more in teresting to them was the everyday ap pearance of the mun. He was dressed, not in stage bullet costume like the woman, but in modest farm clothes. Therefore, when a short, thick-set mau suggested a yell of approval, tho 2000 men, women and children sent up a mixed cheer to the balloon. In answer the young woman, who rested comfortably on a trapeze bar, bowed and throw a kiss to her admirer?'. As for the other performer, the man in shirt sleeves, he seemed frightened. He neither bowed nor waved his hand but held on tight and took no notice of the spectators. They watched him rise to a height of 2500 feet, where, like his companion, he was merely a dot at the end of a thread. McCarthy, at the start, heard and obeyed the advice of the professor to hold on tight. He felt the earth sink rapidly as lu an express elevator in a tall office building, and at 1000 feet began to feel himself more at home. His car then began to go slower and steadier. So he examined his posi tiou in the balloon. For a seat, half way between the hot-air bag and par achute top he had a small iron ring, to which were fastened the ropes of the hot-air cur and parachute. He at tempted to look downward, but as the thought of falliug unnerved him he grew dizzy. Then he remembered a. faint cheer, and wondered why his friends seemed so much pleased at his dangerous position. His musings in mid-air continued until he heard the voice of his companion performer. "Hello!" said she. "Hello!" said McCarthy. "Are you safe?" "I guess so. " "Hold on, for I'm going." "Good-by," said McCarthy. "Good-by," said the girl. Although ut a height of 2500 feet, McCarthy by this limo had begun to bc encouraged by the presence of his airship compsnion. He, further, hud hoped that because of his accidental trip slie might not make her drop in the parachute. Her ann nnced start homeward, therefore, gave him some uneasiness. He naturally preferred her company; but with true Green Mountain grit lie held ou to the ropes and patiently waited for her depar ture. From his boyhood McCarthy had lived ona farm and had never studied nt the little white schoolhouse on Waitan*eld Common such questions as i ho behaviour of hot-air balloon0 in the sky. Therefore, he never ex pected when his frieud left him to shoot higher in the air. Personally, he was satisfied with 2500 feet, but lie M'as forced to obey the law of nature. Freed of the weight of the girl and parachute, which dropped towards the fair grounds, McCarthy and his air ship leaped skyward again. For the next few seconds the solitary prisoner closed his eyelids, held his breath and grasped the l ope tighter. He quickly rose 500 feet, and there at an altitude of 3000 feet floated lazily in the still mountain air. Far above Bald moun tain betook a panoramic view of tho scenery, which showed the Montreal mouutain in Canada, the white peaks in New Hampshire, the whole sweep of Vcrmo.it to tho south and Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks in New York state. But the man in the balloon .soon tired of his view. He then waited for the hot, smoky air in the car to coed and take him home. Cu the trip homeward, McCarthy equalled in grace the parachute drop of theyonng woman. As the hot air cooled he slowly descended and finally disappeared not half a mile from the park behind a clump of trees in Pay nton Valley. On the ground again b* dodged the falling canvas and im mediately stalled lor the fairgrounds. There McCarthy found himself n hero. In a few words he told of his wonder ful experience in mid-air, then hitched np his horse, jumped into the wagon and sta.ted for home.-New York Sun.

"While we were iii Honolulu, " said one of the young men Who went to Hawaii as an attache of tho Hawaiian commission, "there was a lot of ex citement among the white population of the city over the discovery that two Well-known Avbite citizens of Hohluiu Were lepers. They were both sent to the leper islatid of Molokai. One of these ?rif?rtuuat? men was s a wealthy German ni?rbba?t who had passed tho greater part of bis life on the islands, having left Germany for Honolulu in his early youth. He wa? about 70 years of age. For some months he fore it was discovered t'aat hr was a j victim of leprosy he had been compjaiur-; ' iug of violent pains in his head anjl' numbness in his members. . His fam ily physician was puzzled over tho case, and finally called iuto consulta tion a physician who had spent a period of study among the lepers at the Mo"*-' lokai colony. The old gentleman be came violently insane when he was in formed that ho was a leper and would be compelled to go to Molokai. It was necessary to place him in . a . strait jacket, and, thus secured, ho was car ried aboard the leper steamer. Kilauea Hon, together with over a dozen Ka naka and Japanese lepers, and trans-' ported to the leper island. Within,, a week after the announcement that,her husband was a leper the unfortunate old gentleman's aged wife died *6f grief. "The other white victim of the dis ease was the signal telegrapher sta tioned on Diamond Head to report the arrival of steamers to the people of Houolulu. He was a comparatively young mau, still under 40, and Avas known as a first-rate fellow ,hy most of the white people of Hawaii- He took the announcement that..he. had the disease quietly, saying'that he had suspected for some, time that he w:as a victim, and had contemplated so in forming the board of health. His nerve under the. circumstances was really admirable. "As soon as the discovery of these two cases was made the Kanaka ser vants in the households in which the two men had liked were subjected to careful examination. ' The telegrapher had lived alone in a small house out1 at Diamond Head, with a Kanaka youth as his only servant and attend ant. The youth was found to be in the secondary stage of leprosy, and was sent to Molokai along with his master. The establishment of the old merchant was a very large one out j near Waikiki, one of Honolulu's sub urbs, avd was cared for by over a dozen Kanaka servants. One of these, an old washerwoman, was discovered to he a leper, and, she too, was sent to the leper colony. "The alarm of the white population jf Honolulu, all of whom employ Kanaka servants, over these discover ies may be pictured. The board 'of health was swamped with applications for the immediate examination of household servants, and was utterly unable to cope with the task at the outset. The work, I understand, is still going on. Meanwhile, the discov: ery played excellently into the hands, of the Japanese and Chinese, who werV sought as servants all over the islauds. It is exceedingly rare that a? leper is discovered among tho Japanese ot Chinese living in Honolulu,'although cases are frequent among the two races on the other islands, especially on. Maui, the great sugar island. Y Tu. the course of the examination of house-, hold servants a number of cases of incipient leprosy were found, and-tiA" victims packed off to the leper colony. The people employing these lepers were themselves rigidly examined by physicians able to detect, the very' slightest evidences of the disease, bill none of them was foundto be affected. "There are now, I understand, eight mon of Americau birth at the leper colony on Molokai, all of them, with the exception of the two recently sent, sailors who deserted their ships at one or other of the island ports,.and con tracted the disease either by-mingling or marrying among tho' Kanakas. There are also three Germans and five Englishmen, also sailors, who con tracted the disease in the. same way. The white lepers are said to give more trouble through constantly complain ing thanall the 1300 Kanaka,-Japan ese and Chinese lepers put together. Tho white leper, it seems, is not ablo to accept the burden J niel upon- him with the same degree of fortitude ex hibited by tho native.

Roach, who has been down in Madison county, has made a discovery that is a revelation to us, says the Carnesville (Ga.) Advance. He brings with him a fine specimen of hair that appears to bc as fine ns human hair aud very strong. It is as black as jet and ns straight as a line. It grows on black jack trees and very luxuriantly. It was fouud on the land of Dr. G. W. Westbrooks, nenv lia, and it promises much for utility. It can be used for weaving into cloth, stuffing collars, buggy ensilions and various other pur poses for which strong hair is used. It seems that in its discovery Dr. West brooks lias become the owner of a very line piece of property; and when It is fully developed its uses will be many. We will watch with much interest the result of this discovery. ' Physicians in France. The census of persons practicing medicine in France showed, at the be ginning of the year 1S0?), a number of 17.735, at the beginning of the year 1S9S, 15,984, thus showing an increase for 1899 of 1,751, a figure which is by no means what might have been ex pected when tlie very small increase in the general population is taken into consideration, and which augurs very badly for the future of the medical profession in France, owing to the groat decrease in disease, thanks to the improvements in sanitation. Locusts Made a Delicacy. ' In certain parts of the world some species of locusts are eaten, and are considered a delicacy. The Arabs in the Kingdom of Morocco boil them. The Bedouins roast th?m a little, then dry them in the sun. and pack them into large sacks with salt.

Giving wedding presents ls an old custom, but it differs in different coun tries. Scotland's penny weddings were peculiar. They were called penny af fairs, but the invited guests contribut ed shillings, and occasionally a half crown, and out of the suma thus co\A lected the expenses of the wedding feast were paid. Germany has* a "pay wedding," at which the bride receives her guests with a basin before her, in which each person entering! deposits ja jewel, a silver spoon or,,a piece bf money. In some parts oi Germany the rule Is that We expenses of the marrlagefeast shall be met by each'guest pitying; for what he eats and drinks-^a sort:'of Bir ropean plan wedding, yen might call-ft." The prices paid for dishes.and drinks are high, and the.happy young couple, make a handsome profit out of their wedding, often realizling a sum suffi cient to start them pretty nicely In life. Often 300 guests are present at such a wedding. Sometimes the flow of presents is in the other direction. In Poland, for in stance, a girl is not regarded as eligi ble for mariage until she has wrought with her own hands cloth and gar ments for the friends who will aecom? pany her future lord to tho altar.
