FREDERICK BROWN. The Intrepid Miftxlniinr)' Who ftulded the Allied Force* from Tlen txln to I'ekliiK. Rev. Frederick Brown, under whose guidance the allied forces marched from Tientsin to Peking, is a mission ary and the presiding elder of the Tien tsin district of the Methodist Episcopal mission in North China. Mr. Brown has labored in the land of the Manchusand Tartars for upward of 17 years. In that time he has traveled much between Tientsin and Peking, and, thoroughly familiar as he was with every foot of the way, no better guide for the forces in their march of relief could have been found. When the outbreak of the Box ers occurred in Peking Mr. Brown was the last foreigner to get safely away. Later he went to Chefoo, from which point he sent nearly all the unofficial cable dispatches that came to America describing the situation in China, He REV. FREDERICK BROWN. (Missionary Who Led the Allied Forces to Peking.) stood upon the wall of Peking during the first engagement, and was within a few feet of Capt. Reilly when that brave officer was killed. He refused all compensation for his services. Hen nud Cat Friendship. A Pennsylvania farmer proudly points to a singular friendship be tween a hen and a cat. The hen had a brood of eight fluffy chicks, and the cat was the mother of four downy kittens. Shortly after the latter had their eyes opened the motner cat car ried them to the chicken coop and in troduced them to the hen, who re ceived them kindly. Pretty soon they got into the habit o< going there ol their own accord, and when tha j mother hen settled down over her lit tle ones, the four kittens huddled up close to her. The old cat viewed this action without any jealousy, and aft er awhile only visited them at meal time, while the kittens rambled around with the hen and her chicks Naturally, this strange friendship will be disrupted when the chicks and kit Una grew to maturity. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1900. A GOOD FLOOD GATE. One That Will Slay In I'lncf the Yea* Around and Turn Slock front Adjoining; Fields, Those who have large ditches or creeks running through their farmi are desirous of getting a good, serv iceable flood-gate, one that will stay in place all times of year, and turn stock from adjoining fields. The old fashioned flood-gate, hung by the top to a foot log, was always being pushed open by hogs and calves, unless staked down, anu then the first heavy freshet was sure to burst it from its fasten ings and carry it down stream. The gate shown in cut can be made upon any farm, and when in place will take care of itself. Two posls are Bet near the outer banks of the chan- i i 11 j| n * - EFFECTIVE FLOOD GATE, nel; an oak log ten to fourteen inche* in diameter is fashioned like a wind lass and attached to the posts, a* shown in illustration, with clamp bands made from heaTy iron and fas tened with lag screws to posts. Th« roller is then bored "ull of two-inch auger holes, the desired distance apart, to receive the pickets, which are split from tough oak. A weight shown at A completes the job. Thi? weight is intended to Keep the gate always in an upright position, and should be placed upstream, i.e., above the flood-gate. When heavy freshets are in evidence, the force of the water raises the weight and allows easy pas sage of water, driftwood, etc. and as the water subsides tne weight settles back, leaving the gate in proper posi tion, Nvhere hogs cannot root it out nor other stock trespass into adjoin ing fields. The weight must be made to correspond with height and weight of gate. If the weight be too heavy, so that the force of current does not open it, saw a piece off of weight. Only actual test will determine this. D in the illustration is the surface line of the water. —George W. Brown, in Ohic • -*-"ier. PHILIPPINE ROADS. A Million Dollar* to He S|ifnt In tha Improvement of Honda ut untl Near Manila. The Philippine commission has ap propriated $1,000,000 for the improve ment of the roads in the island of Lu zon. If this sum be wisely and eco nomically expended in constructing highways connecting important towns, so as to enable the inhabitants to have easy communication with each other, even during the rainy season, it will have a beneficial effect upon the people of the territory through which the roads pass probably greater than could have been secured by any other expend iture. i The Spaniards did not seem to regard a road as necessary or even desirable unless it would serve a military pur pose. The railway from Manila to Dag , upan gave them ample means of trans | porting troops, ammunition and stores between those places, and beyond Dag upan they built a fine, broad macadam ized boulevard as far as Yigan. There is a similar highway across the island near its southern extremity. General ly speaking, however, Luzon has no roads, except these two, that can be traveled by a vehicle in the rainy sea son, and few of them are navigable on horseback. Naturally the Filipinos do not stray far from their home villages, and news as well as merchandise does not circulate freely. It is no uncom mon thing to find a variety of dialects spoken by the natives in traversing 30 or 40 miles, and this diversity of lan guage has been perpetuated by the diffi culties in the way of travel. Already a start has been made by the United States officers in Manila, where the streets have been greatly improved, and this feature of American progress has been one of the inos<t pop ular of any introduced by our people. There seems to be a noticeable connec tion between the means of communi cation of a country and its progress to ward civilization. Bodily motion ap pears to stimulate movemenit mentally and spiritually. If, therefore, the sl,- 000,000 just appropriated for good roads in Luzon is devoted to the making of satisfactory highways and is not partly diverted into the pockets of shiftless or dlishonest contractors who give no equivalent therefor, it is probable that, whatever may be the ultimate fate of the island, future generations of Fili pinos will applaud the first legislative act of the American commission as one of the wisest steps it could have taken. —Chicago Record. Philippine Forcat Preserve*. Upon the recommendation of the war department the agricultural d«part ment is preparing an ordier setting apart as forest reserves the island of Romblon, which is north of the island of Panay; also the isiand of l'auitani, which is one of the extreme group of thf Jolo islands of the Philippine group. Officers of the army who have been investigating the islands have found that these are the richest lands In the world for rubber trees, and it is the intention of the Washington au therities to have the tree# preserved an-i cared for.
