SINdLE TREE MAMvWCIC.
The novelty of th hammock showt
In the-picture consists In Its ability to
keep on the shady aid f the tree at
all hours of the day, and It also has
the advantage of being adapted for us
on a single tre or the side of a house,
where only one support Is available.
Of course. It will not curve from end
to end like the ordinary hammock, but
It has a swinging motion of Its own.
and It can be made quit as comforta
ble for resting as those now In use.
The attachment to the tree Is made by
a ball and socket Joint and the two
Hooks, with the suspending cables, the
Joint allowing the hammock to swing
laterally In substantially the same
plane. By providing duplicate heads
for suspending the hammock It can
be moved around the tre Into another
position as the day sdvances, thus si
vrays keeping under the shady aide of
the tree, and when not In use It folds
up flat for storage In small compass.

ifornia bring to light new evidence
tending to prove that Ituddhtat (irlcat
discovered America 1,000 year befor
the sailing of Columbus. "The evltlvuc
la both documentary and substantial,''
says Hurler' Monthly.
Of the evidence of early Chinese doc
ument, Prof, fryer says:
"The narrative states that there was
a ItudOhlKt (irlcat named Hut Hlicn,
originally a native of Cabul, who, In
the year 4UU A. 1., timing the reign of
the KuiMror Yung Yuan, cam from
the country of fuming to Ktiigchow,
the raoltal of the dynasty ut Tat, situ
ated on the Ulver Yang tne, Tim coun
try helug In a state of revolution, It
was mt till the year that he had
an opportunity of going to the court of
the KuiiM'ror Wu Tl, of the new I.lang
dynasty, lie gave present to the Km
Knir of curious articles brought from
fUKMiig, among which was a material
looking like silk, hut the threads of
which could support a great welulit
without breaking. This was evidently
the llher of the Mcxlcnu agave. He
also presented a mirror of a foot In
diameter, posm-snlng wonderful proper
ties, ami rcNciuhlliig those In use In
Mexico mnl other localities In America
at that tlluo. The Kmperor treated ill in
as an envoy from Kusang, and deputed
ono of the four principal feudal lords,
named Yu Kle, to Interrogate him re
specting the country, and to take down
his story In writing. This was accord
ingly done, and wv have what Is un
doubtedly the orliilual text, with only
perhaps lure and ther a typographical
error which tun be easily explained,
"Among other thliiKS, 1 1 ill Hheu said
that the people of Kusang were former
ly In liiiiornui-e of tho doctrine of
Ituddha, hut during the reign of the
Chinese Kmperor Ta Ming, of the Sung
dynasty, or A. l. 4.VS, there were Uve
blkshus, or Iluddhlst monks from
Cnhul, who traveled there ami promul
gated the knowledge of the doctrines,
books and Images of Iluddhisui. Their
labor were aumwiful, so that they or
Uiilued monks from among the natives,
and thus the customs and milliners of
the people were soon reformed, He
gave particulars of the Journey through
the Aleutian Islands aud Alaska, with
the length of tho route ami a descrip
tion of the Inhabitants, lie described
the country of fusaug as IhMXK) II, or
0,oO0 miles, to the east of Kamsi-hatka,
and also due east from China. It grows
great numbers of fusang trues, which,
when they llrst appear above ground,
are like bamboo shoots, ami tho people
eat them. Threads are spun from the
skin of the plant, which are woven Into
cloth from which clothing la made, or
else It la made luto e ' .oroldery. They
also use the lllirou'i material of th
fusang for making paper, These aud
many other features seem to point un
mistakably to the Mexican agave. Hod
pears are mentioned, which agree In
descrlpllun with the fruit of the prickly
pear, while grapes are represented as
plentiful. There Is plenty of copper,
hut no Iron; aud no money valuo la put
on gold or silver. Their market are
free and there are no II ted prices.
"The manners aud customs of the
people, their forms of government,
their marriage and funeral ceremonies,
their food and clothing, the method of
constructing their houses, tho absence
of soldiers and military weapons, cities
and fortresses, are all particularly
noted, aud ax roe. with what Is found In
uo country bordering on the I'licltlc,
except on the continent of America In
general, aud In Mexico In particular.
To suppose that 11 ul Hhen could have
Invented all these statements, mid that
his story can be satisfactorily explain
ed upou any other theory than that ho
had actually made the Journey which
he so truthfully and soberly describes
is, to any the least of It, absurd."
LIFE OF THE PHILIPPINE GIRL.
She Arises Karly to Attend to Religion
and Household Duties.
The life lived by the Filipinos Is not
in Intricate life. says Hamou Iteres I.ala
In tho Ledger Monthly, nor Is Philip
pine etiquette the highly Involved sys
tem that Is found In the old and nrtltl
clal society of western lands. I do not
know that I can better describe It than
by following a society young lady of
Manila through tho ordlnnry events of
one day's existence. It may Interest
American women to know how their
sisters beyond the seas pass their lives,
The day of tho fair Filipino Is a long
one. With her there Is no liny rising
to a 0 o'clock coffee and tonst. She Is
usually up with the sun, not later than
0, and, If very religious, as early as 4,
that she may attend early mas. Ilroak
fast Is set early, about 0 o'clock. Then
come the morning duties of the house
hold, sewing, washing, cooking, or
whatever there may he, for our young
lady is not expected to spend her days
In Idleness. The midday meul Is tukeu
at 12 o'clock, In order that the warmest
hours of the day may be the hours of
rest, About two hours are thus spent
In tho enjoyment of the siesta, when
our lady fair arises, refreshed and
ready for tho later pleasures of the
day.
At 4 o'clock the "afternoon tea" Is
served. This Is a light repast, usually
consisting of chocolate, with rice and
cakes, or other slmplo viands. Then,
at the hour of 6:30 or 8 o'clock, the car
riage is brought out and tho dully ride
taken to the Luneta, the beautiful park
on the bay south of the city. Here the
military band discourses sweet music
every evening, and the beauty and
fashion of Manila meet and enjoy the
evening air and melodious strains. Re
turning from the drive about 7 o'clock,
the evening meal, or supper, comes next
In order, after- which our belle of Ma
nila Is free for any mode of spending
the evening hours that may appeal to
her; perhaps a friendly visit, a trip to
tho theater or opera, or nn "at home"
to receive callers. Early ns she arose
bedtime often conies late, and no hours
more than nature demands are spent In
the enjoyment of slumber. Going to
rest, however, Is different there and
here. Ladles, even of the highest soclul
rank, do not sleep In a bedstead, but
prefer the floor, lying on a petate, or
mat, which la provided with a long
bolster or pillow, aud covered with the
conventional mosquito netting.
