fell* It* Own Story of It* Doing* In
War and Poaca.
Well, well, well! I am surprised!
With all the notoriety that I have
gained and the destruction that I have
caused that nobody would tell you
what I am made of and what I am
capable of doing!
I am twenty-one feet in length and
twenty-one inches in diameter, and or
dinarily I am assembled in three |«rts
known as the tail and afterbody, the
flask and the head. My tail contains
the mnchinriy which turns the profi
lers that force me through the water:
the flask carries my fuel in the form of
compressed air that semis me on my
mission of destruction—and when 1
start, woe unto them who mn.v he in
my path, for I am the most dreaded
weapon that ever suiled the seven seas.
1 cost $0,000 and can run for 10,0<»0
yards iiefore my energy is used up.
tvavellDg that distance at the rate of
about fifty feet fr second. I am a
monster made of forged nickel steel
and weigh 2,000 funds and have tur
bine engines, which are capable of mak
ing 1.760 revolutions fr mlDiite. In
m.v head I carry a high explosive call
ed guncotton, which explodes upon con
tact
In times of face, when 1 am prac
ticed with, the guncotton is taken out of
my head and water Is substituted to
conifnsate for its weight. When I
have been tired in practice and have
made my run and expended all my
energy I have lost sufficient weight to
float to the surface until I am picked
up, recharged and retired.—A. Freed,

THEY FEAST ON SNAKES.
A Queer People With Queer Tastes Are
the Philippine Pygmiee.
High up ou the slopes of Mount Marl
Teles, In the Philippine Islands, dwell
the last remnants of an ancient and
most mysterious race, the Negritos, or
“little negroes.” Scientists differ hope
lessly as to their origin and history, but
the traveler who Is fortunate enough to
penetrate into their carefully hidden
villages finds the quaint little people
extremely Interesting.
Though disinclined to work, the Ne
grito Is Indefatigable in the chase. He
will hunt all day without eating any
thing but the mango or banana that he
seizes as he rushes by. If dogs are
scarce for any reason women are
pressed into service, and these go lop
ing through the brush, yelping In lmi
tation of the canines.
Sometimes a beater will emerge from
the brush carrying a pig he has encoun
tered and killed or. more important
still, bringing news of the sighting of a
python. In this case the whole hunt Is
called In and its energies directed to
the capture of the big snake, which
when killed Is carried in triumphal pro
cession to the village, where it fur
nishes a feast.—World Wide Magazine.
An Interesting Test of Wits.
A game that affords fun and an in
teresting test of wits is “your native
town.” At a party it will tide over
any dull moments that threaten. Pro
vide the players with paper and pencils
and ask them all t'6 write the places of
their birth. Then give them a limited
time in which to timke a sentence con
sisting of words that begin with the
letters in the name of the town and
follow the same order.
For example, if the city is Baltimore,
then the sentence might be, “Behold, a
large town in Maryland, old, rich, en
terprising!” The more aptly descriptive
of the town the better is the sentence.
At the end of a si>eclfled time have the
players read their sentences, and, if
you wish, award a prize to the best
one.—Youth's Comiwuion.
Igorrots Dog Estsrs,
During our trip through the Philii>
pines we visited the dog market, where
the Igorrotes bought and sold half
starved canines with visions of a great
feast off the protruding ribs. The Igor
rotes are about as much like the cultur
ed Filipinos as they are like cultured
Americans or cultured Japanese. But
the fact that the Igorrotes eat dogs has
done as much to prejudice us against
the Filipinos as has the story that the
Chinese eat rats to turn us against
the well bred Chinese, who not only do
not eat rats, but even have a distaste
for caviar and limburger. — Maynard
Owen Williams in Christian Herald.
High Prices.
In San Francisco in 1841) clerks in
stores and offices had munificent sala
ries. Five dollars a day was the small
est stipend even in the custom house,
and one preacher was paid $10,000 a
year. Laborers received $1 an hour.
A pick or a shovel was worth $10 and
a butcher’s knife $30. At one time the
carpenters, who were getting $12 a
day, struck for $16. But It should be
noted that prices were exceedingly high
also.
When Youth's Life Is 8haped.
“The hand that rocks the cradle rules
the world?” Nonsense. It only han
dles the material. The time of the
shaping of life is from twelve to eight
een years old. That is the formative
period. All great educators know that
