LITTLE KNOWN OF NEGRITOS

Dr. Philip Newton, lecturer and In
vestigator of the National Museum in
Washington, 1). who JllM ' ti?
turrwd from the Philippines, boHeves
that the diminutive negroes called
the Negritos, who are foutyl In the
mouniajus o f all the larger Islands of
the Philippine group, art the original
natives of the Philippines.
"They have beta gradually driven
Into the mountains by superior
foi <<??," said Doctor Now ton, "and
today 1 presume there are not more
than 25,000 of tb?'in In the Islands.
Th<?y are the perfect type of savage.
They have no houses, wear no cloth

KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Hubby's Confession Did Him Honorv
but Really Was Not Much of
a Surprise to Wife.
"Marie," Bald Mr. Valesburg to hla
wife.
"Yea, John."
"I have something on my mind that
I must tell you beforo I can ever be
happy."
"I shall be glad to bear anything
you have to nay, John."
"It Is hard to tell you, but I can't
hide the truth any longer. Mario, I
married you under false pretenses."
"You did!"
"Do you remember what It was that
brought us together?"
"Can I ever forget it, John? We
were at ?tho bathing beach, I wafl
drowning* and you saved me after I
had given my self up for lost."
"And afterward, In gratitude, you
married me."
"Yes, I felt that 1 owed my llfo to
you."
"Marie, I deluded you about that
rescue business. Where you believed
yourself drowning the wator was only
walBt deep. You were never In dan
ger. g
"I knew It, John," she answered. "I
had one foot on tho bottom all the
lime."
College Girls.
First of all the girl who goes to col
lego must remember that the Initial
Impression that she makes determines
very largely her happiness or unhnppi
"ness for the llrst few weeks. Above
all tilings, she should not arrive In an
elaborately trimmed suit, a beplumed
hat and pumps. Such things may bo
suitable for rare occasions at home,
but they find practically no place In
the outdoor wardrobe of the well
bred college woman. The plain tail
ored suit cut on good lines, a tailored
hat to match and neat shoes create an
Impression of quiet good taste and ap
propriateness. This keynote of sim
plicity should he recognized through
out her wardrobe. Elaborate chiffon
or net waists and fussy neckwear are
of little line, for a college girl's room
was never designed for clothes- which
require careful treatment and pro
tection from duat.? Leslie's.
"My Favorite Love Scene."
I flrrd it a matter of very great diffi
culty to select one particular love
scene as my favorite, wrltea Ellen
Terry in tho Strand. I can at leaat
say, however, that I have felt tho
deepest affection and admiration for
the passago in "Romeo and Juliet" In
which Juliet makes apology for her
maiden boldness.
My reason for selecting this particu
lar passage is that it serves to show
to tho full the perfect refinement and
delicacy of Shakespeare's conception
Of tho female character. In this pas
sage ? and, indeed, in all the reat ?
Juliet's heart, fluttering betweon joy,
hope and fear, seems to regulate her I
speech in so beautiful a manner that
the thought instinctively crosses ono's
mind that here, at least, the feelings
of youth and of tho spring are blended
together like the breath of opening
flowers.
Lower Animals That Count. -
Tbero are human beings, Such as in
habitants of the Murray inlands in, tho
Straits of Torres, that cannot count
further than two. Dut, most {surpris
ing still, most animals possess calcu
lating abilities',' and several have a" dis
tinct appreciation of number. In cer
tain rr.lnes of Hainault the horses are
so us'ed to traversing the same road
30 times that after tholr last round
they go to the stable of their own ac
cord and refuse to take another step.
Montaigne savs that the oxen em
ployed in tho royal gardens of Susa
for turning the wheels to which the
water pails were attached absolutely
refused to make more than 100 rounds,
which constituted" their dally task.
That Old Andy Jackaon Cans.
That old Andrew Jackson cane has
bobbed up again. You can't keep a
good cane down. Remember that
cane? Of course. Well. it'R around
again. This time George W. Oliver ol
Portland, Ore., possesses it, it having
been given to Oliver's father by Jack
son himself, and in the Oliver family
67 years; count 'em. Now the cane Is
on ;ts way -to. .ITiuceton, Mr. Oliver
having sent the cherished possession
to Governor Wilson.? ?w York Mail.
NEED OF A NEW; HORIZON
?xc?sslvc Application to Any On*
Line of Endeavor ft a Grave
Mistake to M?k?.
/v'.. . , _ .,.V- - + r\
Many excellent women, when th?
f!u*h of youth has passed, Instead of
maturing Into enduring, Increasing
usefulness and Moronity, become like*
unto a boose left desolate Whether
work be drudgery or delight, too ex
ri'i^lve application to W naturally
tends to narrow tho horizon. The
merchant flndB himself surrounded by
dry goods talk, and dry goods people
Until ih" uiilln ?f his store are the
bouiulftrl^i of bla world.,. The ?cl*nt?
i i who i?u,h bl? Hour and hiort and
brain Into tho pursuit of tho beetle

compass end* In a beetle. Tho eoolety
woman who fiildi All her in t "rest in
one class und In one act of events and
mode# of living sees and foela little
of the vast and palpitating current of
human ()f? nhovo and below and
around her. The nerves and brain
and muscles xrow weary of monotony.
However Intensely wo apply ourselves,
wo should keep our eyes on tho dis
tant hills and tho crlmHon sunset.
There Bhould always be kept opon a
path that mh? away to the went or

DISCOURAGED AT THE START
Youthful Hero Unfortunately Had Run
Across One Who Did Not Like
His Kind.
"And who are you, my lad?" In
quired the kindly old gentleman In
spectacles of the honeBt-eyed, ruddy
cheeked lad who stood manfully be
fore him on the library step,
"Me?" Interrogated the honest-eyed,
etc., youth, smoothing down his ragged
but clean shirt front. "Why, I am tho
boy with a widowed mother who has
a mortgage on the farm, and I'm
about to aave tho life of tho only
daughter of tho village banker, and
then I'm going out into the cold world
and make a fortune and come back
and a8toniHh4 everybody by marrying
the only daughter, etc., and then
I'll?"
Whereupon the old gentleman said:
"You are one of those Oliver Op
tic kids," and tho kindly old, etc.,
kicked the honest-eyed, etc., remorse
lessly off tho library steps.
Causes of Tempests.
Science attributes tempests to a
general Internal movement of de
tached masses of aerial projectiles,
which traverse tho general mass of
j the atmo.sphero like the discharge
from a mitrailleuse. Even In time
[ of calm the movements of the air
i may be complex. During periods of
j excessive heat puffs of air hot as
from a furnace strike tho exposed
portions of tho human body. The air
I mass at a normal temperature holds
| heat as tho organism holds the coll.
Such phenomena as tho projectiles of
i heat are frequently produced several
! times within the period of a few mln
, utca. The elastic condition of tho air
is not at. all like the surrounding at
i mosplierlcal strata. Tho heated air
; is sent out in projectilelike pulsations.
; Tho pulsations are produced not in
? high regions alone.

Wildcat Attacks Young Preacher.
Attacked by a wildcat E. Lamont
Oeisslnger, a young preacher and stu
dent at Dickinson college, was driven
,down a steep side of North mountain,
and as a result of his experience was
. nearly prostrated when he reached
Doubling Gap.
Geisslnger saw watching him
through the bushes a pantherlike ani
mal about five feet long. Ho started
to run, but tho beast leaped after him,
made repeated, attacks upon him, and
although Oeisslnger dealt It several
blows on the head with a club ho
could not beat the animal off.
The young preacher made as fast
time as he could for more than a mllo
down the mountainside, with the wild
cat following. It was not until ho was
iiiBide the hotel that the animal aban
doned its pursuit aud sneaked back In
to the timber. ? Carlisle Correspond

Supreme Sorrow.
All tho bodily pangs and labors
which motherhood and motheraare
have cost age after age, Is the least
of their living. All tho patient toll
ing which millions of mothers have
Imposed upon themselves when they
alone have reared and fed their chil
dren, all the watchful nights, all the
tired steps? all that mother* have de
nied themselves for tho sake of tholr
children, is not tho greatest of their
sufferings. That is their greatest sor
row. which a man has expressed In
the poem wherein tho mother throws
her heart at lw>r son's feet, wT'.o, as
he angrily stumbles over it, hears tho
heart whisper, 'Did you hurt yourself,
my ?child?'" ? Kllen Key in tho At

Bees Siick to One Flower.
It usually supposed, especially by |
tho poet*, rhttt ln*ea sip sweets Indis
crhninatoly from many a flower. All ,
bees, including the honey bee, show a
strong tendency in collecting both
nectar and pollen to be constant to ^
one species of flower. This Is mani
festly for the advaniago of both In
sects and flowers. In the case of a
number of lu es flying for only a small
part of the season this habit has be
come so specialised that, they vialfcv
only one or a few allied species of
flowers, which offer an abundance of
