A Queer Diary Kept of Trip to the Philippines. This diary pretends to truth fully record the story of the bunch of schoolteachers that the government sent to the Philip pines recently: Wednesday-There are 600 teachers aboard, 160 of them wo men. Some are mere girls others are merely girlish. All are bound for the Philippines. Many of them, no doubt, would be glad to touch at the port of matrimony on the way. Thursday-There is spooning going on everywhere all over the boat. All the handsomest men are in great demand. One fine looking fellow from Cleve land, in order to escape from at tentions of six Boston spinsters, spends most of his time in the foretop. It isn't at all comfort able up there, but he says he prefers it. Friday-First engagement an nounced. He is just out of col-, lege and 23. She is a Portland schoolma'am and 37. The exam ple seems to be contagious three more engagements were announced by noon. Saturday-Captain says he can't work the ship unless the spooners get out of the way. The captain is not a sentimental person. All the sailors go round with broad grins on their faces. It is supposed to come from hearing so much lovey-dovey talk. The bos'n is the only one of them that keeps a sour face. It is said he has been married four times. The engagement roll now numbers 11. Sunday-This was a day of rest for everybody, except the spooners. The steward says he doesn't care how much love making they do on board. It's a great saving for him. he says. Those who are deepest in love don't care to eat. Nineteen en gagements to date. Monday-The captain says there's no use talking, the sere nading business has got to stop. The sailors can't hear the or ders because of the love songs. There's a Chicago schoolma'am with a mandolin, who makes life miserable for everybody. She sings the saddest love songs every night until 12 o'clock. The captain says he'll either put her in irons, or feed her to the sharks. Twenty-four engage ments up to 6 o'clock. Tuesday-Thirty couples peti tioned the captain today to per mit them to be married on board. He said he'd be jammed if he would. He was ordered to ear Bad Drinking Water.-Every one suffers reatly f rom the different kinds of ater he is compelled to drink, and nothing is so likely to bring on an at tack of diarrhoea. PERRY DAvIS' PAIN-KILLER is the only safe, quick and sure cure for it, cramps and cholera morbus. Av&' substitutes, there is but one Pain-Kills.,- Perry Davis.' Price 2c nd 50c. ry over to the Philippines a lot of salaried school teachers, and he meant to do his duty. He wasn't running any floating toot sie-woostie shop, and he wanted them to know it. The kind of knots he was interested in were the kind that a ship is expected to encourage. He said a lot more about most of them being old enough to know better-and the Massachusetts girls didn't like it one bit. The thirty cou ples have agreed to get married as soon as they reach Honolulu; but the others have reluctantly concluded to wait until they get to Manila.-Cleveland Plain Dea ler. Boys who are Away at school should have a sure remedy for sudden attacks of cramps, diarrhoea or dysentery, and an hour's delay in cases of this kind often leads To serious results. Parents should supply their sons with PAIX KILLER, which is simple, safe and sure. One dose rarely fails to bring relief from any bowel complaint. There is but one Pain-Killer, Perry Davis.' Price 25c. and 50c. Emperor William, it seems, has been led by the action of the German mother and the Ameri can widow of his murdered en voy at Pekin, the late Baron von Ketteler, in declining to receive the proffered visits of Prince Chun to reject all the magnificent gifts brought by the young prince from China fo:: His Majesty's acceptance. The Emperor, after Chun had presented in the name of his brother, Emperor, Kwan gsu, expressions of profound sorrow for the assassination of Baron von Ketteler, had mani fested a disposition to concede to the Prince the honors and con sideration due to his imperial rank, and which had until that time been withheld in conse quence of the nature of his mis sion; but the Prince was invited to reviews, to state banquets, etc., and was treated with so much distinction as to cause the people to grumble. But the Emperor seems to have been re called to his senses in the matter by the action of the widowed niother and wife of the ill-fated envoy in declining to permit the Prince to cross their threshold, or to express to them any condo lences in their bereavement, and it was following this that he caused the department of For eign Affairs to inform Chun that he could not accept any of the magnificent presents which had been brought for him, containing vases cf abaster inlaid with rubies and emeralds, priceless porcelain, magnificent bronze vases, jade and ivory carved, and some packages of the purest and finest silks. Mothers everywhere praise One Minute Cough~ Cure for the sufferings it has relieved and the lives of their little ones it has saved. Strikes at the root of the trouble and draws out the infammation. The children's favorite Cough Cure. The Ri. B. Loryea Drug First Silver Wedding. According to a historian, this Is the way the first silver wedding came about. It was in the time of Hugues Caput. Two of his most faithful serv ants, a man and a woman, had grown gray in his employ. How could he re ward them? Calling the woman, he- said: "Your oervice is great, greater than the man's, whose service Is great enough, for the woman always finds work harder than a man, and therefore I will give you a reward. At your age I know of none better than a dowry and a husband. The dowry Is here. This farm from this time forth belongs to you. If this man who has worked with you for five and twenty years is willing to marry you, then the husband is ready." "Your majesty," said the old peasant, "how is it possible that we should mar ry, having already silver hairs?" "Then it shall be a silver wedding." And the king gave the couple silver enough to keep them In plenty. Such was the origin of the silver wedding, a custom which, spreading all through France, subsequently became known to the world. . Points on a Lobster. A lobster is found in the water, but not always-in fact, some of the most successful lobsters that ever lobstered were born and raised on dry land. One can usually tell a lobster by Its actions. For instance, if a young man enters a crowded drawing room and walks all over the feet of the assem bled guests without their consent or approval the young man at once be comes a lobster. The fathers of lobsters usually have money. In fact, It is difficult to be a real stand up and fall down lobster unless the lobster's father has money. It is an udd fact that many girls seem to admire lobsters. It would seem that a girl ought to know better, but she doesn't until she marries a lobster. Then she tumbles. Lobsters have no brains. If you don't believe it, split a lobster's head open with an ax if you don't care any thing about the ax. This world would be a much more desirable abiding place if there were no lobsters in it.-Ohio State Journal. Hodge, the Single Minded. An election petition was being tried, and a witness was called to prove "bribery." "One of the gentlemen says to me, 'Hodge, you must vote for the Tories.'" said the witness. "And what did you answer to that?" I asked the counsel. 1"'Well,' says I, 'How much?'" "And what did the agent say?" "He didn't say nothing. The other gentleman comes to me and says, 'You must vote for the Liberals, Hodge.'" "And what did you answer?" "I said, 'How much?' So he arst me what t'other gentleman offered me, and I I told him 5 shillings." "And what did the Liberal agent do?" "He gave me 10 shillings." Counsel sits down triumphant, and up starts the other side. "Did you vote for the Liberals?" "'No."? "Did you vote for the Tories?" "No. I ain't got a vote!"-Spare Mo ments. His Sympathy Aroused. She met him at the door, all breath - less with excitement. "John," she cried, "baby's cut a tooth." "Poor little fellow!" he returned comn miseratingly. "Is it a bad cut?"-Chi cago Post. Combination Diving. The Swedes delight in "combinaton diving," and two nien will perform many clever feats together. One of the most grotesque of these is when one man stands upright on the springboard and tightly clasps another man's body round the waist, holding him head downward and putting his own head through the man's legs. When the up right man springs from the board, he throws his legs into the air so that the two men, clasping the other tightly round the waist, turn a somersault, and when they reach the water the man who started upside down arrives feet foremost. The handspring dive is a very effect ive specialty of Swedish swimmers. The performer takes off from the div ing board with hands Instead of feet, turning his body in order to descend feet foremost or somersaulting to ar rive head downward. Very graceful also is the back dive, in which the spring is made backward, the body turning toward the springboard. Dou ble somersault dives are made from platforms 30 or 50 feet high, the diver making two turns in the air and enter ing the water feet foremost.-Peter son's Magazine. Not the Same Wife. The old gentleman had returned to the home of his boyhood for the first time in ten years or more and, as on the last occasions, he had written "and wife" after his name on the hotel reg ister. Of course the keeper of the hotel was glad to see him and grasped him warmly by the hand. "Ain't grown a day older than when you was here last," he said. "No?" said the old gentleman half In quiringly. "Not a day," returned the tavern keeper emphatically. "Your wife seems to have changed more'n you." "Yes ?" "Oh, yes. Leastways she does to me. Looks thinner than when you was here last." "Indeed?" "Yes. She ain't near so fleshy as she was, accordin to my recollection. Seems like she's taller, too, an her hald don't look just the same to me. an-an" "And," put in the old gentleman soft ly, "she's not the same wife, jou know." -Tit-Bits. Cooking a Mackerel. Many a dainty nose with beauty and fortune behind it has been airily ele vated at the mention of plain, old fash Ioned salt mackerel, but never at the salt mackerel as cooked by the famous John Chamberlin of Washington. His testimony runs to this effect: "Take one or more mackerel and soak about 48 hours, changing the water once. Then put them in a pan large enough to hold them, cover them with cream or the nearest you can get to it, put In oven and cook until cream is brown. This beats any mackeiel cook ing on earth."-New York Herald. Had Heard Them Al. Mrs. Hennypeck (in the midst of her reading)-Here is an item which says that there are more than 250,000 words in the English language. Mr. Hennypeck-Yes, my dear; so I've heard.-Puck. Tasmania is 4,000 miles less in area than Ireland. The names of Its 18 coun ties are almost all taken from English counties. Fish has very high food value. In fact, it is very nearly as nutritious as chicken or turkey. 10' DONNELL & G0 _ FLOR. ]Few persons have any conception of the magnitude of our a o business along this particular line, and we hesitate to state the : o quantity we handle, fearing we might be accused of exaggera- a tion, but we are not overestimating the amount when we say ~ that our sales for the past year have fallen little short of 4,000 Barrels.

All our flour is bought from the Millbau 4 ner Mills Co. of Philadelphia, and is manufactured from the Lonberr Wheat for which the States of Pennsylvania and Maryland are famous.
