Washington, May 5?The senate committee on the Philippines today heard the testimony of Daniel J. Evans of Concordia, Kacs^s, formerly a private in Company E, Twelfth U. S. infantry, who was a witness to the water cure practiced on insurgents at Bedere in Northern Luzon by soldiers of his regiment. Evans testified that heiad seen the cure given two insurgents for refusing to disclose information regarding the whereabouts of guns. The cure resulted in the securing the desired information. He could have witnessed a number of other cases, he said, but remained away. He said the administration of the cure to insurgents was the talk cf the whole army. He admitted that Fillipiuo8 were treated humanely at all times outside the water cure. One j of the men given the cure, he said, was struck forty times in the stom- j ach by private Frank Koehler, of his company, and be thought the victim would die. He had never witnessed ' any cruelty inflicted by our soldiers on Fillipino8 with the exception of the water cure. ^ Dots from Savilla.

A pale young man sat down on a bench in the park. He put a torn bag of tools under the bench. A small, red faced man came behind him. He stooped to steal the bag. The pale man turned and said in a slow, tired way: "Drop that. It ain't worth stealing." The ruddy man said, "Not if you're lookinV The pale man set the bag at his feet and said: "It's a poor business you're in." "You don't look as if yours was any better." He sat down.

Milton composed his "Paradise Lost" on a large armchair, with his head thrown back. Bret Harte's first literary success was a little book called "Condensed Novels." in which he parodied some prominent novelists of the day. Austin Dobsin. the poet, wanted in early life to be an engineer and was preparing for that profession when his parents persuaded him to enter the civil service. When Fox had eaten heartily, he would retire to his studj*, envelop bis head in a napkin soaked in vinegar and water and work sometimes ten hours in succession. Allison is said to have consumed twenty-four years in the preparation of bis "History of Europe," but many important literary enterprises were also < carried on by him during this time. ; It is related of Hall Caine, the novel* ist that he once ?worked in the Laxey lead mines, in the Manx mountains, in place of a young man who was ill to keep the young fellow's position for him.

O grave, ivhere is thy victory?" i "What a beautiful close!" exclaimed . one of the students enthusiastically.
