Big Bend, near Bacoor, P. I. Jan. 4, 1900. Dear Parents, Your long looked for letter ar rived in camp to-day and was very glad to hear from you all. It has been a little over three months since hearing from you, longer than ever before. The way the boys rush at the sound of the mail wagon, makes one think of a midnight charge of the caribou. It did not surprise me to hear of Mr. Jacoby being very ill, for he was bad when I saw him last. You mentioned something about a snow storm. Well we have no snow balls here, not even a chill, except ma laria. At this writing my pard and I are very comfortably situated in our "bahi" or shack. He in one of those good natured boys who makes one laugh at a glimpse. He is now figuring on how long it will take him to walk to N. Y. via of the north pole. Perhaps this letter will be very much disconnected, but you must blame him. Our dinner just over, after which we always have an hour to loaf. It was a love ly meal. A sort of mixture, one lad said it was surely not "Dukes" for it had not near so good a flavor Still my health is very good and my appetite still stays with me. My continual contact with bananas, oranges, chicos. and fish seems to have a very beneficial effect for I weigh more than ever. Company G. is just across the river from us G. . company is the one comrade Stiner of Bloom is in. He is enjoy ing soldiering real well and looks very healthy. He says he is feeling very much domesticated. Mr. Coonie Girton of Bloom, requested me to let him know something about Chas. Well he must be on the north line for I can find nothing out about him here, perhaps he will hear from bim long before you get this. Still life here 19 very uncertain Yesterday Co. C. found one of its members murdered. He had a great number of bolo cuts on his head and body. A bolo is simiHar to a corn knife. Last eve we were reinforced by the 38 Reg't. who had just landed in tne early morning snots were fired by them. Orders came inime diately to fall in, which we did very quickly, all of us expecting to have a real good fight. We did not After all became calm and daylight MM! mm appeared the dead and wounded were collected as follows: Two water buffalos, tluee dogs and one private of A. company. He fell in a well and got too much salt water in his throat. That is just about the extent of these battles. .Perhaps something about the habits of these -ii r rrJaa-a food. It seems to be about all they eat. Yet on New Year's day a great many had 'roasted hog.' It amused me to see them roast it. After dress ing (which is done just as done in the States) it was placed on a long bamboo pole and put up on two forked sticks, a slow fire in under and several natives at each end of the pole, which they turned con tinually until the hog was nice and brown. Tnen came the division. One old lady who seemed more poor than the rest was allowed to carry off the ears. One party had the inner portion in a bowl. It had been boiled over another fire. This was used as a dressing. Well all seemed to be well pleased. These people all eat out of the same bowl and with their fingers. About urc. w uc c,y u- ( r Muwuiure wwuuiK. u. clothes.

The native band at Las Penas headed the procession. Their ban ners were made of bamboo and tis sue paper. All designs represented some animal or a star. At the church mass was held and it was beautifully decorated. Tiie great pipe organ was played by the priest and it is a sweet toned instrument. The members made it from bamboo. These funerals are quite odd. The corpse reposes on a cradle-snape litter and is carried on the shoul ders of four natives. The proces sion consists of three men and three children in the lead, each carry flags and banners. Two of the lit tle boys continually ring bells at the cemetery. If the relatives can not afford a vault, they must bury ! in the ground. Each grave is dug very suallow. inose wno use vaults pay a yearly rent. paid promptly they drag out the corpse, and toss it in a corner pro vided for the purpose. These piles are not , inviting, or sweet to gaze upon. On JNew Year s nignt some one put a caudle in a skull aud set it under the sergeant s bunk. Well, it looked fierce, and I got one day 111 the guard house. It was some thing that I did not do, but I don't care. It was the first time in the mill for me. Kind of makes me proud, for a man is not a true sol dier until he has been in the guard tent. Our camp is situated on the bank of the Imus river, and we go swim ming daily. This is very much like harvest time. Drill call will sound soon, will finish later. Drill over and supper also. Nothing now but sleep until morn, except a scrap with mosquitoes and lizards. One centipede came in our t;nt the other evening we went out. After a good chase we killed it. No one seems to like their presence. Tar antulas and scorpions are quite plentiful, and snakes galore, but the most numerous are ants ants of all varieties. Some are whits. These white ants secrete an acid, which eats through tin and glass. Lizards are very plenty, and one kind over a foot long. Those are the ones which seem to like our beds. Almost every evening we hear a piercing shriek. We know the rest soldier and lizard both in one tent. By. the way, mother, a very funny plant or vine grows here. As quick as it is touched it closes very quick, and the leaf falls down about the stem. We call it " Touch me Not." Enclosed find some seed. Plant in sjndy loam and don't water too of ten. Hope it grows, as it will add to your varied collection. Also some seeds of the miniature morn ing glory. But this is not a land of flowers, 'not near' so much as Ohan, the island that Honolulu is on. Guess I told you all I could about those places. Must close, as we go in n hike soon and must get ready. Expect to go to Manila on a pass next week ; will send you some curios from there. My hopes are that you all remain well until my return. Give my respects to all. and my love to you all.

Now In San Francisco-But Formerly from Eyors Grovo. San Francisco, Jan. 23, 1900. Dear Mother and All: I took a most interesting trip last Sunday, and it may be interesting to you for me to write about it. It was a trip to the top of Mount Tamal pais (Mt. Tim-el-pias). I will here , with enclose a little advertising sheet, I which may serve to your better un derstanding of what I am going to relate. This mountain is not so high (only 2500 feet above sea level), but still it's above the clouds, and is the fust time in my life that I have been ' above the clouds, so that to look in , on them seems like an immense snow 1 covered plane. My, but it is an in spiring sight. I had no idea it was so interesting a trip, or I would have taken it long ago. I The cost of fare, as you will ob serve, is only $1.40 for the round trip. I started at 10 a. m. and ar rived at the top a little past noon. , We took a ferryboat at the foot of! 1 Market street, S.

The folt 1 age is not so thick as the hemlock, ! coarser. There were none of the 1 very large trees, either. I saw one I about four feet thick, but you can't find one thathas the least crook in it. The Madrones trees are not large, but strange looking, some of the larg est a foot thick, and a smooth, yellow ish green bark. This bark is as smooth as a person's skin, and the leaves are something like laurel leaves, only not so long and broader, with a waxy lustre. What they call laurel Tr ' . 1 here is nothing like'Pennsvlvania lau If not ( ... , . ,. . .: ' re), for it's a tree sometimes 100 feet high and over a foot thick an odd and pretty tree to eastern folks. The oaks are rather scrubby and look like big apple trees there, and the leaves look much like apple leaves, only not quite so large. A stranger would hardly suspect them of being oaks. There is lots of peculiar underbrush, some that remind one of huckleberry bushes, but they are not. Lots of ferns, that grow one stem out of the ground and branches off to a number of ferns, like you find there growing singly. There is also lots of Manza nita, which is nearest to Pennsylvania common laurel, yet the leaves are far different, but the wood is about as crooked as Pennsylvania laurel, and the bark is a glossy chestnut brown, and as smooth as a person's skin. They make odd canes canes that look as if they were painted and var nished when dry. Manzanita is a Spanish word, meaning little apples, and strapge to say, in the fall they are full of little apples, looking much like the little wild crabappiea t.iere They are now in blossom, iut not so many blossoms as the laurel there. These blossoms look more like the trailing arbutus flower, and in little bunches. This map shows this mountain road Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.

When we look i way down below the train and see 1 where we passed and then look way up at some places and see where we are to go one thinks can it be possi ble? One place we looked up and saw the hotel above not very far but then we were only half way over the road. The pictures will give you some idea, but poor idea, of the zig-zag way we went. When we left Mill Valley it was chilly and some more fog, but as we went up the fog cloud became thicker and thicker, so that often we could not se. a 100 yards, and as we went through hese clouos it became colder and colder, so that all the pas - sengers were furnished with heavy wo0,H.uU..wucnywuRb.c.B ..,bride and were driven to the Hilt, x uu iiv uvcituai u 4 Ku uiiituijr got mighty cold and went in the enclosed part of car, and wrapped up in a robe. As we got near the top the fog was thinner and thinner until once in while the sun would shine through them a little, but when we got to tne top there we found nothing but sun shine and a lovely dav, really too hot to sit in the sun. I could hardly believe my own eyes and feeling. So cold coming through the clouds and so warm above the clouds. Sometimes these clouds would come up to within a couple hundred yards of the top then gradually recede again. My, it was a lovely sight. Looking off in every direction we could see nothing but clouds below, but not a cloud above us. Below was sea of clouds as far as we could see, which looked like great plane as far as could see covered with beautiful white snow, with occasional snow drifts. It was so white that it dazzled my eyes some thing like when we look at snow when the sun shines on it. Mt. Diablo poked its peak out of the clouds and looked like an island in this white sea. 1 lounged around the hotel and the government weather station which is all there on top until 4 P. M. and arrived in city again at 6 P. M. The Gov. weather signal station there is quite a thing with a man in charge all the time with all kinds of instruments to note how fast the wiad blows Barometer, Thermometer tests, etc. There are some days when this cloud ocean is not present, then one can see over Frisco, The Golden Gate and the Pacific ocean and even to the Sierra Nevada mountains 17? miles away. They say there are hard ly 2 days in the year that the scene is exactly the same. If it rains in Frisco then it rains on this mountain for the rain clouds usually go above its top. During the winter months these clouds or tide fog comes from the land but during the summer they come from (he ocean through the Golden Gate. The air line distance from Frisco o the top is only about 13 mi'es. The air line distance from Mill Valley to the top is only 3 miles, yet the R. R. has to travel 8 miles to get to the top. The burr on the redwood tree is very much like that on the hemlock a trifle larger and a trifle coarser, but very little. ' Seems cold to" me ihis evening, yet the parks and lawns are full of Calla lillies in full bloom, why these lillies are planted like hedge rows and every bulb has a beautiful flower.

Chil dren can't help but grow t they must grow if their food nourishes them. Perhaps a mistake was made in the past and as a result the di gestion is weakened. If that is so, don't give the baby a lot ot medicine; just use your everyday common sense and help nature a little, and the way to do it is to add half a teaspoon ful of SCOTT'S EMULSION to the baby's food three or four times a day.

Grottnd-JUog Saw Shadow- Known to church people as Can dlemas Day, Feb. 2, is known to the world as "ground-hog day," famous for its weather prognostications. A fine Candlemas Day predicts a suc cession of foul ones, while the stotmy or clondy Candlemas promises an early and bright spring, with summer to match. We probably owe our little super stition about the ground-bog on ii$ day to our early German settlers, they, no doubt, have brought it over with them from the fatherland.
