In a letter to a friend in Washing- ton Mrs. Annie Pike Smith, formerly of Washington, but now with her hus- band, Captain A. T. Smith, U. 8. A., at Camp Jossman, Iioilo, Philippine Is- lands, writes thus concerning the na- tive sports, says the Washington Star: “Among the women rope jumping is a pastime. Is this to be wondered at in a country noted for its hemp? They make a game of it. To each woman, including those that turn the rope, is given the name of a flower or tree. The one that acts as leader calls out the name, and the proper one takes her turn. Should the ‘tlower name’ of one of the girls turning be called, then there is a great scramble, while anoth- er is taking her place, and she makes her'jump. It reminded me or the noisy game called fruit basket which I play- ed in my childhood on the streets of Washington. “Among the boysâ€"and older men, too â€"a favorite sport is the tossing of a hollow ball made of bahooka, a species of bamboo. They toss this ball from one to another, never touching it with their hands, but using only the mus- cles of the back, hips and legs. It is really wonderful how long they can keep it flying back and forth in the air. The youngsters enjoy the regular old game of hopscotch. A plot oblong in shape is laid out with a circle divid- ed into equal spaces. The game is to hop on one foot from one division to the others, at the same time kicking a stone. But cockflghting reigns su~ preme. Almost any day you may see a crowd of small muchachos in a circle watching a fight on which a few pesos have been hazarded. These fights are generally without the gatrs. How the Filipino loves his munuco! “It has been said that in case of a fire the bird is cared for first, after that the familyâ€"often too late. They caress the birds as we should a dear pet dog.” lupply of Oxygen For Firemen. An experiment has recently been made in Paris with an ingenious up- paratus, invented by M. Guglielminetti and M. Drueger, by means of which it is possible to remain without fear of aSphyxia in places where it would otherwise be impossible to breathe. The apparatus is automaticâ€"that is, it has no connection with the air outside. wIt is composed of a tube containing a provision of oxygen sutficient to last a man for breathing purposes for more than an hour and a helmet of alumin- ium fitting the head exactly by means or a pneumatic pad. The oxygen is supplied automatically to the man’s mouth and the air exhaled i3 received In a comp1essible hag. .- '- v-â€" It passes through a regenerator with granulated caustic potash, which ab- Iorbs all the carbonic acid. A fireman, provided with this apparatus, went down into a cellar in which piles of damp straw had been lighted, and al- though there was suffocating smoke from this he remained in it for nearly three-quarters of an hour without be ing at all inconvenienced by it.â€"â€"Eng-' lish World’s Work. A Disappointed Dog. Colonel William F. Cody (Bufl'alo Bill) tells of a dog that travels with his shows that is the most ill tem- pered beast in the world. He has good reasons for his ugliness, according to what the narrator says: “He sleeps in the ticket wagon. Now, every night before he is shut up the ticket seller gives him a bone. which he promptly conceals in a hole dug beneath the wagon. Then he goes to bed. and, tail- ing to realize that almost every night his house is shifted over the road. he can't understand why the morning’s search for the bone is futile. Then he’s mad. He thinks some one has stolen it. and it isn't safe to go near him for several hours. Sometimes we 9 stop several days in a place. and then. '0! course. he finds the bone. and it’s just enough incentive to keep him dig- ging holes. He’s planted bones all over this country and the greater part of Europe and has lost ninety-nine out of every hundred.” Engineers’ Watches. It is vitally important that railroad engineers should have accurate time- pieces. One is seldom seen with an expensive watch unless it has been presented to him by the company as a memorial of long and faithful serv- ice or for some deed of heroism.‘ A dealer tells me that the works in en- gineers’ watches are of standard make, costing the uniform price of $18. The style of the case depends on the pur- chasing ability ot the buyer, the price ranging from $2 to as many hundreds as one wants to waste on gold and . Most cases are silver.

It was on February 10, 1903, that Mr. Sparling, in a spirit of generos- ity and loyalty to his King, deter- mined to deed to His Majesty the Iureka Creek claim, upon which the depth, breadth, extent and richness of the pay streak was yet, to he, as- certained.

There never was a presidential elee tion when the people at large knew so well "how things were going” on elec- tion night and had positive informa- tion of the final results so early as this year. The reason was simply that the news was distributed more promptly and more widely than ever before, and this was made possible by the remark- able extension of the telephone system within even the last four years. Heretofore he who wanted early in- formation or found in watching the ebb and flow of the great tide of bal- lots exciting interest must go to the bulletin boards of the newspapers. This year, however, preparations were begun weeks in advance that every telephone subscriber in the Bell system might know the news, it he cared to, as soon as the national committeeman or the political editor. Special wires were reserved on the trunk lines of the long distance service connecting the large cities which were made dis- tributing points from which the word was carried on to town and village and farmhouse wherever the “speaking There is always heavy pressure on the telephone wires on election night anyway. Politicians and committee- men, who nowadays make extensive use of the telephone in campaigning. keep in touch with all the strategic points “along the line,” getting early and frequent reports from doubtful districts and sometimes issuing their “statements” and comments on the re. sults by means of it. Special arrange- ments were made for President Roose- velt and Judge Parker to get the news by wire, and in almost every state in the Union similar facilities were fur- nished for governors, congressmen and party managers. RETU RNS BY TELEPHONE. Killer Wilhelm’s Cooks. Feeding the German emperor is no light task. Despite all that is said about the kaiser’s Spartan habits there are few monarchs who keep more elab- orate tables. He has four chefsâ€"Schlie- denstucker, a German; Harding, an Englishman; an Italian and a French- manâ€"so that he can have his meals for the day served in the style of what- ever nation he may happen to fancy. Each of these chefs has his staff of assistants, while in addition there is an individual who may safely be de- scribed as “sausage maker to the kaiser.” His majesty is very fond of the huge white frankfurter sausage, and has a supply of them made fresh every day in his own kitchen. When engaged in maneuvering his army on :1 -~ -n.‘ “5‘.“ g-_ -â€"v- big field day these frankfurters and bread. washed down with lager beer. invariably form the kaiser’s luncheon.

Napoleon's Hate. The seven authentic Napoleonic hats now in existence are all of different dimensions. Prince Victor Napoleon, Prince Louis Napoleon and the Em- press Eugenie each have one. A fourth is owned by Armand Dumarescq, a1 Parision painter. Another figures in Mme. Tussaud’s museum in London beside the guillotine which served to decapitate Louis XVI. and Marie An- toinette. The sixth hat of Napoleon was once the property of Meissonier, the military painter, and, after having served as the model in all of that artist’s pictures of the emperor, was given by Charles Meissonier, the paint- er’s son, to the Museum of the Army at the Invalides, where Napoleon was buried. The seventh hat of Napoleon is that which he wore at'Waterloo, and which is now going to the Conde mu« seum at Chantilly, the magnificant castle and domain left by the late Due d’Aumale, lineal descendant of Conde, ' to the Institute of France as a national monument to commemorate his illus- trious ancestor.â€"-New York Tribune. A peculiar development of the sense i of hearing has been discovered as he- i ing the result of the use of the tele-‘ phone. Most people when using the instrument hold the receiver to the left ear because it comes more natural to adjust the mouthpiece with the right hand. So it happens that from an ex- tensive use of the telephone the hear- ing of the left ear is sharpened at the expense of the right. In the majority of cases the difference between the two is not very great. but in some persons it is alarmingly so. The sensitive nerves are so irritated by the sound coming directly on them and in a tone which is strange that it sets up a re- action which has a cumulative eflect and upsets them.
