Champion Slow Worksrs.
One of the things that Cebu boasts
irf is lis file wharf. 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

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:
