He wa- edu cated in Hu'-op' and designed th re mark ible entrenchment I ora Manila to Tar hc While reticent regarding his missitiii, his conversation throws an interesting iirht on the Filipino view of the American attitude. TIow long can the Filipino army and people stand (50.000 American troop?" aSKed tno representative of the Associated Press. "Fighting in our way wo can main tain a state of war and the necessity of a large army of occupation in definitely. You Americans are hold ing a few miles around Manila, a nar row line of railroad to Angeles and a circlo of country around S tn Fernando. Din you are ignorant f the resources or Luzon. We hold too immense rich, productive northern country from which to draw. Our people contribute the money and food wnich maintain our army and this is dooe at a mint- mum of cost. "It is an interesting question what the cost to the Americaa people is of maintaining the American troops in tho Puilippines. We do not, of cou po, Know the amount, but it must be excessive. We perceive wbt an American soldier requires in this cli mate. On the other hand a. Filipino exists with a handful of rice and a pair of linen trousers. "We do not have to pay our soldleis and can practically hold up their wages as long as wo de sire. Keen without our present sup ply of ams and ammunition we could keep your army occupied for years.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: There is In the house of Mrs. H. It. Beeba of 73 Dunlaxi street, Memphis, Tenn., a wonderful madstone, which tor 75 years haa enjoyed the reputa tion of performing wonderful cures of hydrophobia. Mrs. John Shelton. the sister of Mrs. Deebe, is the owner of the etone. It was willed to her by her father, a minister in the Chris tian church, to whom it was presented by a poor German woman in his par ish. The pastor made good use of it for more than half a century. In all those years only two persons treated with the stone failed to recover. One of these had let the wound go un attended for oyer nine days; the other was a farmer, too busy with his crop to permit of the applications which were considered necessary. Mrs. Shel ton lost her father twenty years ago. She has ued the madstone constantly since and has never either lost a case or made a charge for treating. People come from far and near to be treated. In many Instances dumb brute3 that have been bitten by rabid do?s have died, while people bitten by the same clogs have recovered, showing con clusively that the animals were mad. The stone is broken in several pieces and has something the appearance of a piece of coral. It is porous and absorbs the poison when applied to the wound. It was broken by being gnawed by a valuable dog. The dog was being treated for hydrophobia. He had beea bitten and the stone was bound to his wound. He not only gnawei the slone off. but tried to chew it into bits. The atone is applied by being fir6t put in hot water for a few minutes. Then it is taken out and placed, as hot as can be borne, upon the wound. This is repeated hourly for twelve hours. If there Is more than one wound the treatment Is extended to twenty-four hours. NAPOLEON AND THE MAYOR. Old Shot-maker's Speecli Made A nit with the Kmperor. On the emperor's arrival Mr. Mayor was sought to compliment his sover- ira In a speech worthy of Marsla- tours. He nas discovered, like Cln clnnatti3, at the plow tail, says Black wood's Magazine. He ran home to put on his bi coat with the sash a badge of his dignity and arrived in the pres ence just in time to anticipate the emperor's departure. In vain he tried to utter a word, and again in vain; bowing and scraping he stood fascinat ed by Bonaparte's scrutinizing black eyes an unhappy squirrel in the gaze of the rattlesnake. Close behind the trembling mayor stood an old shoe maker, In figure a true Don Quixote, clad in his working dress. "Why don't you speak, you fool" he mutter ed from time to time to his leader. At last his patience gave way; he pushed the mayor aside, advanced, with his left hand removed his greasy cotton nightcap, with his right lifted the horn spectacles from his nose, made hfe bow and delivered the oration. "Em peror, you are on your way to thrash the Prussian rogues once more. I hope soon to see you return crowned with glory, and I have nothing more to say, but that Caesar and Alexander could not compare with you." The emperor laughed and inquired of the old man whether he had any sons. "Yes four are in the army two of these in the, guards." Their names were taken down, and the honest shoe maker soon saw them raised to the rank of officers and found himself pro Tided with a comfortable pension. Richest farmer In the Worl.l.
