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.

The Gaelic League ia Scotland.
The ancient Gaelic language of Scot
land dies hard. 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.

POISONOUS FISH.
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

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

IN THE LEPER COLONY.
Tracie Incidents Attend the Finding ol
. White Victims in" Hawaii.
"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. The ?iily cases
of suicide since the colony was estab
lished have boen those of white men.*'

They were unmistakeably the like

At about the same'time a Euclid ave
nue belle was opening a similar pack
age. There was a smile of delightful
anticipation on her face as she drew
forth the contents of the envelope.
Then she gave a wild shriek and top

smiled up at her was black!
"It must he the effect of some dread

horror-stricken mother.
"Chemical rnbhish," cried the daugh

pictures were mixed by the Buttercup

Feminine Military Knowledge?
The tall giri was plainly the guide,
philosopher and friend of the shdrt
girl, who asked so many questions
about matters military. The place was
Madison Square Garden and the time
.was a recent afternoon, matinee time
at the big military show.
"You're just great, Maggie," said the
short girl enthusiastically. "How ever
do you tell thc cavalry and the dra
goons apart? I'm sure I never could
learn."
"Oh, Phil is in the National Guard,
you k?ow," said the tall girl coldly and
with a superior air.
Just then there was a roll of drums,
and in marched the cadets of the Ham
ilton and Berkeley schools, some of
them little fellows of not more than
ten years old. \
"Oh, ain't they just 'cute! ' exclaimed
the short girl, clapping her hands:
"Who arc they. Maggie? Who are th?
canny little chaps?"
Maggie glanced knowingly at her
programme and coldly replied, to the
prolitablo enlightenment or. her inquisi
tive little neighbor: "They-oh, they
must bc the Thirteenth Infantry!"

Exchanging Money in Switzerland.
Thc bank system of Switzerland is
not considered ideal by Americans
traveling abroad, especially if they are
in theil-' proverbial hurry. On enter

wishing to cash a check must remove
his hat? which he ffiay hang Up on one
of tho hooks provided for that purpose
Usually he receives speedy attention,
for the teller can walt oh at least slat
persons nt once. His check is taken"
and sent upstairs to he certified, Which
takes from five to fifteen minutes, duf^
ing which time he does well to take a
seat. When the check carnes back it
it entered 'n a book, the Money is tak

ties. The high standing of the CALI
FORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. with the medi

A Hairy Tree.
J. W. 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. Other in
habitants of the Eastern countries,
when bread is scarce, pulverize them
and make a sort of bread of them.

Customs ia Giving Wedding Presents.
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.
