They, make a great deal of tho fact that today tlic pn l;i rial liner can slip up to the wharf on t lie sly and get rid of its cargo be fore the customs officials have waked up, whereas It was only ten years age that houts had to lie out In the harbor and have the cargo transshipped into lighters. We (dipped up to the wharf all right". It took us from ( In the morning until 0 at night to unload half the cargo of a ship whose gross tonnage Is 74-. I have seen lighters used In several scores of ports, and I never saw slid: slow work ns that. Hut. then, 1 had never seen the Fili pino workman at his task before. As a snup judgment, made after only twr weeks In the Islands, I would say thai a Japanese woman or it Chinese coolie could give a niipino a mouth to rest up and feed up for a piece of work and then beat him so badly In the first hour that he would never catch tip. Of course ('elm Is in the tropics, but so is Singapore, and Ml back a Singapore Chiuaman against a Cebu Filipino lin.v dur. Christian Herald. In a Chinese Homo. The most wonderful thing about a Chinese house is the spirit of pence which seems to pervade it. The court yards, inclosed by houses which are In turn surrounded by high walls, have an air of security and soclusinir which Is not to be found in our western homes. Into these peaceful courtyards the noise of the busy world does not penetrate. The triple doors seem to shut out the storms of the world nnd its troubles. So says Luther Anderson In his hook on Asia. In the more pretentious houses some of the couriyards are transform ed into miniature landscape gardens. There are miniature mountains, preci pices, lotus ponds, bridges, grottoes and rustic nooks. The irregular rocks are so well titled together and built up against the sides of the house that they seem to have been placed there by na ture long before the bouses were erect ed. The proportions are so carefully worked out that everything seems to be larger than it really is. And the ar rangement Is so Irregular that nature is simulated to icrfcction. Three Fighterg. Walter Scott has not many recorded fights at school, but. In spite of his lameness, he was always In the thick of the "bickers." or street rights, with the boys of the town. Byron was a great lighter at Harrow. Ho was very unpopular at first among his schoolfellows, until he fought his way Into their affections, and then he became a veritable champion and leader. Keats was a great fighter. He was chiefly remembered at school for his beautiful face, his kindness of heart and bis pugnacious disposition. His school chum. Kdward Holmes, says "he had a penchant for fighting. He would fight any one. morning, noon or night, his brother among the rest." He did not make friends easily, although ev erybody coveted bis friendship. The Cat In the Adage. The adage referred to in "Macbeth." act 1. scene 7, "like tbe poor cat'i' the adage" has been idciititicd in one of John Ileywood's proverbs, a source from which is derived much of what is best in our gnomic literature. 1 ITey wood's proverb reads. "The cat would eale fish and would not wet her fecle." This seems a satisfactory source of .SliakesM'.'ire's: I.i lllng I dare not wait upon I would. I.ik the Poor cat P thi- adage. Larly as 1 ley wood is be borrowed tho adage from yet earlier sources'., for It. is found in a mnuusiript of the mid dle thirleentli century preserved in Trinity college, Cambridge, in the rude version, "Cat lufnt visch. no he ncle his folh wete." New York Sun. On the Jump. "ijrowlng Utile town, this!" compli mented the vise drummer. "Growing? You Just belcha!" replied the landlord of the Petunia tavern, who surcharged with local pride. "Why. we've already got an east side and a I u-i.fr wiiln tit.il tl i, fipf l!iiiir vim l:ii,i 1 we'll have a north side and a south sii'.e. Oh, Petunia has got the bit bi her teeth and l.er tail over the dash board, and there ain't no stopping her!" -Kansas City Star. Joy In Prospect. "When is a good time to visit tbe senate'.'" Inquired tbe stranger in Wash ington. "What sort of speech do yon waut to hoar?" "No speech at all. I want to hear em (ailing each i.thcr names."-I,ouis-vllle Courier-Journal. Awkward. "Have you a dog?" asked a tax as sessor oi' an Evans-. iUc woman. "No, sir." was the woman's answer. Then from (he kitchen came. "Kow wow. grulT-ururT." "Then that is your kitten?" asked tbe sssessor. Chicago News. Firmness of Purpose. Firmness of purpose, is one of tbe most necessary sinews of character and one of the best instruments of success. Without it genius wastes Its efforts in a inaae of Inconsistencies. Chesterfield. Storms of Life. Tbe noblest characters are those who have steered tbe life saving vessel through storm tossed seas. A bed of down never nurtured a great soldier ret The habit of doing Utile hard things promptly and bravely Is the best prep aration for tbe crises of life. SAMS VALLKY ITEMS.
