In childhood nhe has a nickname bo stowed upon hor, by which sho is ! known to her family and intimate friend?, but after sho arrives at ma turity she ia called thus only by her parents. To the rest of tho world sho is simply "ide daughter" or "the sis ter" of So-and-So. Admiral Montojo, who commanded tho SpanUh naval forces in the battlo of Manila bay, and" vho has been on trial before tho tsupremo court at Madrid, has been condemned to retire ment without the right of promotion Finley Petci- Dunne, author of the "Doolcy P.ipers, " has created a new character quite as original and humor ous as tho frish philosopher that car ried him al a bound into the first rank of Amci'kjin humorists.

Jt is asserted thai, liquor air has twenty times the explosive force of dynamite. During experiments at Vionna, in the firing of cannon, tho liquor air was exploded by an olectric spark, and the results were extremely satisfactory. No heat was developed in the guns, and tho rango of tho pro jectiles was much increased. An odd contrivance is used in China to protect the carrier pigeons from the attacks cf birds of prey. Tiny bamboo tubes are fastened under their wings, and as they fly the air passing swift'y through the tubes makes n shrill whistle, which serves to frighten oh" the other birds. Nearly one third of tho surface of Newfoundland is covered with fresh water, mostly in tho form of laUes.

In physics am natural history there are opportunities to direct and con trol the out-of-school activities ot young people of which the enthusias tic teacher of science is not slow to avail himself. In describing the in genuity of boys, a writer in the At lantic Monthly gives the following: One of the most astonishing facts of the time is the ingenuity of boys in constructing electrical apparatus, with but a few hints and out of the most meager material. ' I know boys who have belt linea of electric tramways clrculatiaj iu their garrets, and a boy who, last year, was the despair of his teachers, now deserved recog nition in the manual training exhibit as the clever Inventor of a mo3t in genious electrical boat. An Invitation to boys to bring to school products ot their own ingenuity or the natural hlitory specimens that they have col lected will result in an exhibition which, in variety and quality, will be a revelation to one who is not used to following them In these Interests.

New VotMC, S-pt. 20. Tho Evening Post prints tho following interview with Admiial Dowey: 'They are w splendid lot," tho ad miral said, --pe iking of his men, "tho vory pick: tho limst in our navy, and that means tho tot in tho world. Do fore I got to Manila tho archb.shop. with whom I afterw rd beoarn very Intimate, sa.tl tiie Ametic n sailo s were tho scum of tho earth, blood- thir-tv lot of eutt uoals, who would m destroy anj-thiiii; in their pith Later on, when I did get I bore," said the ad miral with a knowing smile, "tho archbishop e.ime on I) -ard one day while 1 had a h.ttttlio i nt drill, tho very flame oattalion that win parade in Now York. The ai ehbi.iijop wont on tho bridge and watched them ciosoly. 1 knew ho was admiring them and 1 said to i im: 'Well, what do 3'ou think of our American sailors?' 'They are splendid,' lio said: 'I liave seen the men of mosi nv.e?,but ntver anything like these. They ate mag nificent: I cannot understand it such splendid young follows. How does it happen V "v ell," said the admiral, "wo look for tho bet men, we come closer to our men, wo treat ttiem bitter tnau other couutrios and we pay th m bet ter." "Then I c tiled a man and aid to him: 'How much do jou get a mo th'r' "Ho !-aluted and said, 'Eighty dol lars, sir.' Tho achbishop was aston ished. You know $8U would pay whole shipload of Spaniards. After that tho archbishop had a very great respect for us aud became very friendly. "Il re I have a picture of G-jncral Luin which was given to mo by the arch bisuou. " The admiral then sent an orderly for the picture of the Philippine gen eral who was "murdered by order of Aguinaldo," as ho said The picture was that of a negro in a Fort of mili tary uniform. On tho back was an in scription in Spanish to tho archbishop of Manila, Father Bernardino Me salado. .It was signed by Luna. Ad miral Dewey then said Luna was the best man tho Fi.ipinos had. Filipinos Oueer Lot. "It was a plot," ho s i id, "to assas sinate him. A crack swordsman was placed as sentry and when Luna ap peared ho simply slabbed him. But these fellows all," said the admiral, "are a queer let. Thty wcro simply servants and stablemen ar.d Aguinaldo was a junior clerk in the navy yard. Ho is a prettj smart fellow. I know him pretty we. I: in fact, wo were great friend-, and as a matter of fact he has ngt tho brains. The-e are peop-.e bo bind him, some of them lawyers acd able fellows, ho make a tool of Ag uinaldo. Here, by I've w::y, is a cane which l.e presented to me," ami the admiral prod need a thick bl .ck click, carved nnd resen'ib'ing ():-isrt dog oak more than anything- e!f-e. "I thought," said tno aJmiral, "th it this thing in tho Philippines would be over before this, as it shouid have been. I can't imagine how lhey have stood out until now. Of course, there was the rainy season, and I suppose little was-done. One groat trouble out thero lias been that General Otis has tried to do too much. I told him so. lie wants to be. general, governor, ju ige and everything o so and have hold of the irons. No man cau do that. This is the great trouoie. It is nough for a man to do one tiling, to be one thing, but when a man tries to do everything it is easy to imagine the result. "The fight in the Pudi opines should j be easil5" endtd. Tne people have been so oadly treated for btich a eogth of time by the Spiniarda that they are distrustful. This is the great difficulty iu doaling with thom. Where we h ivo met them and they have been in such contact with us rs to learn that we mean to treat them woll; where they hvo seen th t we mean what wo say, thero ii no trouble. They stand by us all the time. All of them will learn this in time. They will get from under the ii iluecce of Aguinaido, or rather t'jose people who are behind Aguinaldo, who, as I said before, is a mere tool . "D.i I think tho Filipinos are fit for self-govern me uty "Well, no; not just now; they prob ably will be in a very little time. Tney a e very queer people a very queer mixture. M ny of them aro quite civil iz 3d and good ucopie, hut I do not think they are tit for -elf eovernment just yet. But w h n I say that, I must add at the same time that it is my candid opinion that thy are m re fitted for it than th Cubans,? hat they are a hotter people th vn tho Cubans in every wv. I do wish, however, that the whole busincas was settled, and I think that after a little the Filipinos will take kindly lo us " Dewey Not a Stfttemiiiin. It was suggested to the admiral that the democratic slate had been settled wiuh Admiral D-weyfor the presidency and General Wheeler for the vice presidency "Well," jaid the admiral, "wo should make a pretty mess of it. Gen eral Wheeler, of course, has had some trainiog in the political school, but iht-n he is a West" Pointer I had for gotten that, die would want to run everything aa bo would a regiment nnd, of course, would raako a splendid moBS of it. You canuot run a govern ment as you would a regiment." "Well, ndmlral," nuggeMted tho re porter, "it would not be. -ueh n chnnge from tho ship Olymp a to the hip of stato." "Ye," said tho admiral, "it would bo n very great change. I am not a politician, f am a Miilor, my training has boon all that way. I uni at homo on my ship. I know my business, or at least nhould know it, and I do not want to mix up In the affairs of the government. I am perfectly satisfied to llvo and dlo a simple sailor who tries to do his duty. I am not a poli tician, I cannot make a speech oven; i wish I could, but I have to bo con tented with rnj lot." Some ono said just ihen to tho ad- mirul that bis son win reported to n vo made a statement to tho effect that his father was a uyed-in-the-wool republican. Tho admiral laughed outright and pointed to a piece of wood laying on tho deck some yards Htvay, at tho same timo saying: "My son knows as much about what ni' politics nre as that siit k." The admiral would not Fay a word about tho alleged interference of tho G rman admiral, D.eder chs, at Manila. Suattorn St Olllrrn. -DEN'VKR, Colo .

The S.nn(b Whtc:: Calle l to Cliurch la Oldau Times. Before the time of bells various in struments were used to summon con gregations to worship. In Egypt they are said to have followed a Jewish custom In using a trumpet. m In some Oriental churclies a kind of rattle gave the signal. In monasteries monks took It in turns to go round the cells calling the inmates to their devotions by knocking with a hammer, which was called the "awakening instru ment." Bells of one kind or another are, however, of very great antiquity, having been used in religious cere monies by many" of the ancient nations as a means of honoring their gods and summoning them to the feasts. For example, the fra--t of Osiris and Isis waa always announced by be' Is. Fi.ny says that bells were in- use lone be fore his time, being called "Tin tin nabula." The use of small bells (nolae) in England, tr.ys.
