LETTER FROM JOHN ABBEY. What the Soldier Boys Find to Interest Them in the Philippines. John Abbey has written a letter to his sister here, from which we take the following interesting extracts: JAEN, LUZON, P. I., Nov. 25th, 1899. DEAR SISTER!—I expect you are getting impatient to hear from me; but it is almost impossible to get a chance to write, paper is so hard to procure. At present we are stationed at a town called Jaen, about sixty-nine miles north-east from Manila; the population of which is 4000. Only Company A is here, regimental headquarters being at San Isidoro. I am on guard every other day. We have one post at the guard house, two outposts about two miles out and three more outposts out about one mile and a half, four men on each post and two stand guard at a time. Our bill of fare consists of hard tack, bacon and coffee. We had a fine passage over, it took thirty-three days from Portland; we arrived in Manila the 14th inst. at 9 o'clock at night, stayed on the boat all day the next day. On the 16th went ashore on small river boat and took the train for the interior. At San Fernando there was a wreck which stopped further progress; we stayed there over night. The next morning we started on the march or rather wade, the mud was knee deep, and the rain poured down all day. We made Ariyat, camped in the residence of a captain in the Philippine army, who wasn't at home. Moved out of there the next day at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and relieved a company of the 24th Infantry at Rio Chico with the first platoon, and another company at Camp Lincoln with the second platoon. Stayed there three days and then were relieved by Co. K of the 35th and marched to Cablon, where we stopped over night. The next day we marched to San Isidoro, which is two miles from here, where we crossed the Rio Grande. The rest of the battalion stopped there except Co. C. Went on to Santa Rosa, which is about four miles above here. They had a skirmish there yesterday, lost one man killed and one missing, they killed four of the enemy and wounded several. Two men of our company went trading, they got too far from the post, and were fired on, one was killed and no one knows what became of the other one. One dead Filipino was found near him. Hearing the firing Major Walsh left San Isidoro with thirty men from Co. B and reached Santa Rosa about noon, and then took thirty men from Co. C and followed them up to a small town about five or six miles away, where he MYSTIC MEANING OF THE FLAG. Esoteric Plan of the Stars and Stripes as Expounded by a Chicago Man. A Chicago man who pretends to know a great deal about the esoteric signification of colors declares that the national flag was arranged in accordance with a definite occult plan, which he explains as follows: "The color red is the symbol of man in the realm of his desires, his impulses, aspirations, etc. According to whether the red is darkened or lightened will these impulses be selfish or philanthropic. The clear, light red in the national emblem signifies the ardent and pure love which is at once kind, courageous and altruistic, which ardently desires the welfare of the nation and the race. "White is the symbol of man in the intellectual domain, and represents wisdom, intelligence, healthful imagination, clear intuition and correct judgment, therefore symbolizing the justice and honor which have always been predominating characteristics of Americans as a nation. "Blue being the type of man in his physical existence and activity, refers especially to the industry and productive usefulness, the welfare and success in actual developments which Americans have exhibited to a greater extent than the citizens of any other country. "The colors red and white arranged in alternate stripes signify that in all lasting work, courage and ardent, unselfish desire, typified by the clear red, and pure intelligence and justice, symbolized by the white, must be equal factors. The placing of the red stripe at the base is to show that every special purpose of man's life should have a pure and philanthropic foundation." "As the blue field symbolizes man in his productive manifestation, the white stars in the field signify the ideals which man's intelligence has made actual developments in the realm of physical activity. These ideals, by a wise and fitting correspondence, are also made to signify the various departments of the national body which have attained to the degree of perfection entitling them to become individual states. The five pointed star with the single point upward shows the man, or the state, whose altruistic purpose is clearly defined and whose 'eye is single' for the benefit and uplifting of the whole race." "The thirteen stripes, which repre- where we crossed the Rio Grande. The rest of the battalion stopped there except Co. C. Went on to Santa Rosa, which is about four miles above here. They had a skirmish there yesterday, lost one man killed and one missing, they killed four of the enemy and wounded several. Two men of our company went trading, they got too far from the post, and were fired on, one was killed and no one knows what became of the other one. One dead Filipino was found near him. Hearing the firing Major Walsh left San Isidoro with thirty men from Co. B and reached Santa Rosa about noon, and then took thirty men from Co. C and followed them up to a small town about five or six miles away, where he found them in their trenches and drove them across the river. I think the name of the town is San Miguel. I am feeling fine, except being galled slightly by carrying a belt with 100 cartridges in it almost constantly. We march in light marching order with the exception of my rifle and belt. I have a half shelter tent and poncho, the clothes which I wear and one extra sack, canteen and haversack. J.C.A.BEEY, Co.A.35th Infantry,U.S.A. Lord Lansdowne Visits Turner. No one was admitted to Turner's house in Queen Anne street unless specially invited. There was a sort of little iron grille in the center of the front door, through which the old house keeper used to look and see who was there. As an example of the rarity of visitors the late Lord Lansdowne, who was a great lover of art and a friend of Turner's, told me that after receiving no answers to his letters he resolved to board the lion in his den. He therefore went and knocked at the door, when a shock head appeared at the iron grating, and its owner called out, "Cat's meat, I suppose?" "Yes, cat's meat," answered his lordship and squeezed himself in—"Millals' Life of Turner." The Aged Minister. If his work be in a city church, it is a grave question whether any minister can now discharge it with efficiency who is much above 50 years of age. The multitude of details in a city parish, the excitement of the life, the severe demand upon the mind and the heavy burden of responsibility call for a man in the prime of life, with an alert intellect and an unfailing body.—Ian Maclaren in Ladies' Home Journal. Took Their Places. Here is a story which Baron Dowse, the celebrated Irish judge, once told in that exaggerated "brogue" which he loved to employ: "I was down in Cork holding assizes. On the first day, when the jury came in, the officer of the court said, 'Gittlemen av the jury, ye'll take yer accustomed places, if ye plaze.' And may I never laugh,' said the baron, "if they didn't all walk into the dock." An Unknown Hero. La Gaceta, published in Guadalajara, part in English and part in Spanish, prints in a prominent place the following: A CARD. Will the gentleman who embraced my wife at the entrance to the postoffice about 9 o'clock Thursday evening please send me his photograph for my "Album of Heroes!" He will greatly oblige. Mexico Two Republica. As the blue field symbolizes man in his productive manifestation, the white stars in the field signify the ideals which man's intelligence has made actual developments in the realm of physical activity. These ideals, by a wise and fitting correspondence, are also made to signify the various departments of the national body which have attained to the degree of perfection entitling them to become individual states. The five pointed star with the single point upward shows the man, or the state, whose altruistic purpose is clearly defined and whose 'eye is single' for the benefit and uplifting of the whole race. "The thirteen stripes, which represent the thirteen colonies that joined in the formation of these United States have also a deeper meaning, the number thirteen being, according to the ancient Magi, a very occult number, signifying progress, perpetuity and perfection in their various manifestations. For instance, there were twelve tribes of the children of Israel, but Moses, their leader, made the number thirteen; the twelve Apostles, with Jesus, made the perfect number thirteen; the twelve signs of the zodiac radiate from the center, the sun making the whole number thirteen while there are thirteen lunar months in the year. The evil omens attached to the number thirteen merely hint at the retribution which overtakes those who profane that which is essentially sacred. "As a symbol of the United States as a nation, the stars and stripes of red, white and blue stand for a government founded upon principles of courage and altruistic love, balanced and harmonized by justice and intelligence, and strengthened and uplifted by a fixed purpose and unselfish activity." Civil Service Commission. The United States Civil Service commission announces that the annual examinations for positions in the classified service will be held all over the country in March and April. There were over 8,000 appointments last year, and judging from present indications, there will be nearly 10,000 this year. Any one who wishes may try for a place without expense.

"When I was in the Olancho district, in Nicaragua," said a visitor who is largely interested in mining in Central America, "I had an opportunity of seeing how the lazy natives tap nature's till when they need some small change. "Near our camp by the river was a but occupied by a typical Honduranian family, consisting of husband and wife, grandfather and grandmother and a dozen or so of assorted children. The only one of the crowd who did anything except rest and smoke was wife. At intervals of perhaps a week she would sally out with the family tinpan, erstwhile used for cooking, and proceed to an old placer digging on the river bank. There she would squat, throw a few gourdfuls of dirt into the pan, fill it with water and begin the usual circular motion of gold washing.

"I was troubled for three years with ulceration and female weakness and my doctor gave me but little relief," writes Mrs. Lulu Hunter, of Allenton, St. Louis Co., Mo.

I have also recommended those medicines to some of my friends, who suffered from female weakness, and good results have followed."

It has been demonstrated repeatedly in every State in the Union and in many foreign countries that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a certain preventive and cure for croup. It has become the universal remedy for that disease. M. V. Fisher of Liberty, W. Va., only repeats what has been said around the globe when he writes: "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my family for several years and always with perfect success. We believe that it is not only the best cough remedy, but that it is a sure cure for croup. It has saved the lives of our children a number of times." This remedy is for sale by P. A. Derge.

Locomotor Ataxia Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People This is the sworn statement of a man who was cured. "My lower limbs seemed to be dying—losing all sense of outward feeling. The most excruciating pains made me almost wild with misery and I could not stand alone. I tried electricity with no avail. Several physicians gave me treatment which was not effective. One day I read of a man who had Locomotor Ataxia, and was cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I procured a half dozen boxes, and took them before I was convinced a cure was possible, and finally used one box a week. My pains gradually disappeared, color came back to my flesh. I could walk, run and jump, and actually dispensed with a cane." JOEL SHOKMAKER, Editor Farmer and Dairyman, North Yakima, Wash. Subscribed and sworn to before me, this 3d day of January, 1899.

The more light that is shed on the purchase of the Durkee ranch by the local water companies the greater advantage appears to the whole river county. At no time have the directors of the companies lost faith in their ability prevent the diversion of water from basin of the Santa Ana river.

Some visitors to East Gloucester paid a special call upon the woman said to be the original of Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward's famous story, "A Madonna of the Tubs." Mrs. Phelps Ward's summer home, be it known, is in East Gloucester. The visitors found a typical New Englander with a self evident capacity for taking care of herself. "So you are the Madonna of the Tubs?" said the visitors. "I am," said the New Englander. "And Mrs. Phelps Ward wrote a beautiful story about you?" "She did." WATER STORAGE. An Opportunity for Display of American Statesmanship-Reclaiming the Desert. Water storage for the reclamation of arid lands was a subject recently discussed in a lecture by Hon. Frederick H. Newell, the irrigation expert of the Geological Survey. Mr. Newell has probably made as close a study of the subject of irrigation as any man in the country, and he views the question from a very broad standpoint, having reached his conclusions after traversing nearly every foot of the great West and observing the operation of different irrigation systems and the effect of various State and local laws and regulations. "Expansion of territory externally," he says, "is detracting attention from problems equally as great, if not more important, namely, those of the extension of agricultural areas and the utilization of mineral resources well within the present limits of the United States. There is an ample field for statesmanship in directing the utilization of untouched opportunities, since we still have one-third of our entire country existing as vacant public land, rich in possibilities. As an instance, fully nine-tenths of the vast extent of Arizona, Nevada and adjacent areas remain in the hands of the general government. Much of the soil is highly productive under irrigation, while the more rugged portions contain great mineral wealth which can profitably be developed when labor and easy transportation can be had. "The West is full of great mining possibilities. What are needed for their development are good transportation and good labor. Both of these items are today in many sections beyond all reasonable expense. Why? Because the situations are arid, the country supports no population of its own, and as everything must be transported at tremendous cost, labor brought in demands immense wages. Give such sections water for irrigation, and the valleys would be settled by farmers, living for the miners would be cheap; naturally the railroads would follow a stable agricultural community, and transportation would be reduced. The keystone of Western progress is water, and the construction of storage basins to hold that water." "From 1858 down to the present day," said Governor McCord of Arizona, in a recent address, "the officers of the FROM THE NATIONAL CITY RECORD. If personal ambition could be eliminated from the senatorial question in its state, an extra session would be led at once, and a senator elected side of twenty-four hours after the dissolution met.

Burns bug-a-boo is being overworked to such an extent by these newspapers that the doughy one is gaining friends everywhere.

The city papas and other officials are bringing their gray matter in endeavoring to solve an odd question that has come to regarding the approaching city section.

Itsibilities for the development of permitting water are unrivalled, if by any chance the courts should hold that such exists in that basin apart and distinct from the stream. This is so, not why because of the surface indications plenty of water, but because of the extent and scattered positions of holdings in the basin.

"Not a valet?" MIXED STATE OF AFFAIRS AT OCEANSIDE From the Oceanside Blade. The city papas and other officials are seeing their gray matter in endeavoring to solve an odd question that has come up regarding the approaching city election. The present great register of the county has been cancelled by a notice recently issued, and registration is in progress for the compilation of a new great register, which will not be ready and in force until 140 days before the next general election. This will be too late for its use in the city election. The election law stipulates that any election there shall be on hand certain number of copies of the great register. Since neither the old registrar nor the new one will be in force at the time, the affair looks mixed, and some legal light will doubtless be called upon to solve the riddle. Liver Complaint. Fuddy What is the matter with Harris? He seems all out of sorts. Duddy—He is suffering from liver complaint. Fuddy—Can't he find anything to help him? Duddy—He is looking around for a new boarding house, one in which liver is not an inseparable feature of the cuisine.—Boston Transcript. Essential Facts. "I called in," said the puffy little man, "to say that your story about the next door to me yesterday was all wrong." "All wrong?" asked the editor. "Yes, sir!

Manager Martin, of the Pierson drug store, informs us that he is having a great run on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He sells five bottles of that medicine to one of any other kind, and it gives great satisfaction. In these days of la grippe there is nothing like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to stop the cough, heal up the sore throat and lungs and give relief within a very short time. The sales are growing, and all who try it are pleased with its prompt action—South Chicago Daily Salumet. For sale by P. A. Derge. Stroll in?" said Sir John in a rising tone. "Then I presume you do not leave till late?" "Well, I usually slip off about 2 o'clock." "Slip off at 21!" exclaimed the veteran in his topmost note. "Pray, may I ask what department you belong to?" "Oh," said the stranger, "I come every Saturday to attend to the clocks." Sir John retreated for the first time in his life. A Little Too Hot. Little Janet, aged 4, noticed the other day at dinner the rest of the family helping themselves liberally to the mustard. Nobody offering her any, she waited until something drew away the attention of the others, when she lifted the mustard spoon, liberally daubed a piece of bread with it and took a great bite. Her hand immediately went up to her burned mouth; but, bravely suppressing an outcry, she put the bread away from her, remarking, "I think I'll wait till that jelly gets cold." His Nose For News. "Henry," whispered the malden in some embarrassment as they stood in the hallway, where the young and handsome reporter was preparing to say good night, "it's dreadful of me, I know, but I've been eating onions." Great Scott, Fannie!" he exclaimed. "You don't think that's a scoop on me, do you? I knew that as soon as I came in."—Chicago Tribune. Reviving Appreciation. "What's an 'octogenarian,' Cousin Martha?" "Well, an octogenarian is a man who hates life when he is 70, but gets proud of himself again at 80."—Indianapolis Journal. Queer Cards of Shrewd Lawyers. Not all men of the legal profession are content with the severe inscription on their cards to which etiquette and custom usually confine them. An Ohio lawyer who makes a specialty of collections calls attention to this fact by a novel device printed on his cards and letter heads. On a great red splotch intended to represent a drop of blood are the words, "Claims collected in cold blood," the capital "C" for the three first letters of those words being sufficient size to encircle the other words. In Maryville, Mo., a lawyer presents his portrait on his card, with the suggestive motto: "He that is not with you is against you. See me early." I want to let the people who suffer from rheumatism and sciatica know that Chamberlain's Pain Balm relieved me after a number of other medicines and a doctor had failed.

He Runs His Prey to Water Instead of to Earth—How the Stowaways Get Aboard Ship and How They Generally Come to Grief. Down by the city's sea wall a queer man pursues a queer vocation. He is a water front "character," and his business is the sleuthing of stowaways. He doesn't run his prey to earth, however, after the manner of other hunters of human game. He runs it to water. This weather hardened, wrinkled man is at once the terror and the friend of would be stowaways. He is known as Captain Jack, but his name has half a dozen variations, all of which snack of the salt, salt sea. These are some of his aliases: Wharf Rat, Water Fowl, Sea Dog, Whater, Old Man Jack and The Boatman. His stock in trade consists of his shrewdness in "spotting a stow" and a battered but seaworthy old boat which rides the water by night and day through successive seasons. The town's attractions do not lure him from his long accustomed haunts among the masts, figureheads, piers and plies, sails, nets, stringers and multitudinous varieties of merchandise that crowd the bay's edge. Captain Jack came out of his sea-shell of reserve long enough the other day to tell a bit of what he knows about that venturesome creature of chance, the stowaway, who would fain voyage out of port without the previous formality of paying for passenger privileges. "I've been in this business a long time," he said, "an I can gen'rally spot a 'stow.'" Different ones has different methods. Some hangs round the docks before a ship sails, offerin to lend a hand, or proposin to work a passage somewhat neheres. When they find this don't go the way they want it to, they commence to talk big—inquire 'bout sea weather, the cost of a cruise, the time it takes to git to the islands or Alaska or Panama. They're always just a-goin to make the trip. But there's somethin so hungry an home-sick an tired lookin about 'em that it gives 'em dead away—leastways it does to a person who's spent a good many years studyn their kind. "Others, though, wait till the last minute, then come hustlin along as if they was too rushed to buy a ticket or as if they had one in their pocket. Why, I've even been asked by 'em to row 'em out to a ship after she'd got clear out into the stream. If a skippper happens to be good natured, I'll slack up an take passengers aboard. An after all that bother I've had to bring 'em back again, for nary a red did they have. “This class of deadheads is gen'rally supplied with clothes, gripsacks, hat-boxes, steamer trunks, canes, umbrellas, cameras, foldin chairs an sometimes a servant." "Not a valet?" ed, the warning "All visitors must give, the gangplank withdrawn, the last rope loosened and the screw turned, the vessel's interior is carefully explored. Meanwhile Captain Jack's weather beaten boat is speeding in its wake. If a stowaway be discovered a signal is sent from the pilot's bridge and Captain Jack is quickly alongside. A rope ladder is lowered, and toward it the purser or other officer and his aids escort the discomfited "stow." "Every day," continued Jack, "I fetch in men an women that want to git away. They're broke, an thought they'd try their luck in some other place. I lump most of 'em off at Meiggs' wharf. It's a heap easier for me an for the stows. There's more lumber there an fewer folks to stare. Some of 'em turns out all right, an some is afterward fished out of the bay. Then they go to the coroner. A dead man, it seems, is worth more to the city than a live one." And thus it is that the stowaways sooner or later all journey with Captain Jack—some to begin life all over again, others to lie for a brief time on a marble slab at the morgue marked "Unidentified."—San Francisco Examiner. NO "PROPERTY" ESCAPES. Some Queer Things to Be Seen In a Chinese Theater. Over the audience rests a settled, immovable stillness, unbroken even by a sigh. No expression referable to sorrow, sympathy, joy or tears lightens the blank, dead wall of the faces. The Chinaman is impregnable. Only once do his eyes change, and that is while the property man is on the stage, and he is never off it. The Chinese property man sees his duty to the management and puts it into practical effect. No "property" shall escape him. He gathers all things by the way. When the Chinese Romeo slays Tybalt, the property man steps on to the stage, gathers up Tybalt's sword, cap and cloak and things and walks off with them. He would enter Maceth's banquet hall while that weak kneed monarch was exercising Banquo's ghost, gather up the goblets and plates in one arm and Maceth's chair with the other and carry them away. He would pluck the roses from Elaine's breast; he would take the dagger from Juliet's dead hand; he would interrupt Hamlet's soliloquy in the churchyard with a request for Yorlck's skull, and he would interpose in the murder of Desdemona to remove the pillows from her bed—Saqui Smith in Leslie's Weekly.

That's what we sailors call puttin on a terrible lot of dog. They's the fellers that always has friends 'mong guvnors, rajahs, lords, dukes an consuls, an likewise money to burn—but always across the wister somewheres. I don't mind the men, but I hate to tackle a woman." "Women stowaways?" "Sure. When the Klondike boom was on, I used to bring in as many women as men. Some was only girls—little slim things, goin to the ley gold mines with no more outfit than the thin clothes they stood in. "The easiest part of the stow's plan in makin an escape is the gittin aboard. Nobody knows who's who the day a ship's leavin port. If she's crowded so much the better. The stow can hide in the hold without bein spied. But it's mighty hard to git past the Heads, for by that time the ship's been searched an the stows yanked out on deck." Captain Jack spoke truly.

The mechanism for setting in motion the massive hammer which brings out the tone of Big Ben's 16 ton bell is very interesting. The striking machinery is driven by weights of about a ton and a half, which hang on a shaft 174 feet deep, and it is so arranged that after the chimes are over the hammer falls on the big bell within one second of Greenwich mean time. His "Dear Old Jim." "Corbett is my friend and benefactor." says Mr. Jeffries. "I was once his sparring partner, and he treated me as a gentleman. Hence I have gladly agreed to fight him as a return for favors. I am bound by all the ties of friendship and gratitude to give him a chance to fight me." Was there ever such a touching instance of devotion? Mr. Jeffries will reward his old patron and benefactor by beating him into pulp and knocking his head off. One can fancy him saying, as he puts his terrible right into his friend's ribs, "Dear old Jim!"—Kansas City Star. The Billing and Cooling. Uncle George—You do not appear to think it necessary to spend so much time at home as you did when you were first married. I suppose the billing and cooling are all over now.

Skin. Each average human being has about 15,000 square feet of skin to look after and nearly 3,000,000 oil and sweat glands. The outer layer of skin is constantly wearing off and must be constantly removed to allow the new skin beneath to form fresh, white and beautiful.
