NEGRITAS OF LUZON. IftmnnK 'l'lione Xf»» Fellow-Cltlzena of Our* I.<»\e-Mnkiiift Im Con ducted on n Peculiar IMnn. This savage tribe once dominated the entire island of Luzon, but are now only found scattered here and there among the mountains. Their "reals," or villages, are built of bam boo and palm leaves, and built high above the ground, reminding one of bird cages, hung among the low branches of the trees. A ladder of bamboo is the means of reaching these shelters from the rain and wind, for Xegritas use their houses for no other purpose. Their I \ V- Jpiv : i Jp MADE MAN AND WIFE. lives are spent in the open, fishing and hunting. In spite of flat noses, thick lips and tightly curling hair these savages are a handsome race, with physiques al most faultless, bronze coloring, stat uesque proportions and graceful movements. • Woe to the enemy who falls into their hands, for they are both cruel and treacherous. The girls of the Xegritas tribe mar ry as young as 12, seldom as late as 15, and the wooing is curious. Y<hen the bridegroom approaches, though he may be the girl's own choice, she must immediately take flight, and, untrammeled by clothing, swift of foot, she often gives him a long chase, ere ne overtakes her. If unusually reluctant she may escape him by taking refuge in a "real," but she is generally captured and led back to the parents, who are inter ested spectators. The mother receives the captive, and leads her, still resisting, up the ladder to the door of the cabin; then the father seizes tlie man and assists him in the same peremptory manner to mount the bamboo ladder. Once inside the cabin the eldest male relat' <? fills the coeanut shell with wate., then dashes its contents over the couple, and as *hey kneel be fore him, more or less gently strikes their heads together, which .signi fies that man and wife, which they now are, should have but one mind. The briJul party then descend to the ground and the "marriage dance begins. N, flve maidens, under the spell of terpsichore, whirl, spin and leap into t) t air, or sway like the graceful, wind-stirred palm trees, beneath which their lives are passed. Then follows a feast of fruit and rice, after which the bridegroom takes his bride to his father's "real," where she continues ht r life of fish ing, burning roots for food and cook in • the mountain rice, which is g.own in the most primitive manner, without even clearing the ground where it is sown. —Louisville Courier journal. MAKING A ROSE JAR. Two Rcclpm Which Ilnvc llcen l ueil for Some Time und Are liiuliiy llecomiueuded. The rind of two lemons cut thin, one pouud buy salt, one ounce orris root, powdered; one ounce gum benzoin, one ounce cinnamon, half ounce cloves, one ounce nutmegs, one grain musk finely ground, 12 buy leaves, a few sage leaves, rosemary and lavender cut small, one ounce eau de cologne, one ounce bergamot. Mix all together in a pan, and add sweet flowers in their natural state, as they come into blos som; stir it frequently, at least once a day. It must be putin a covered stone pot, with a wooden spoon to stir it with. At the end of two or three months you will have a sweet-scented mass ready to fill a number of the pretty Japanese rose-jars. Hoses may be thrown in from time to time. Another recipe, said to be one of the ▼ery best, is the following: Prepare two dry pecks of rose leaves and buds, one handful each of orange flowers, violets and jessamine, one ounce eaeh sliced orris root and cinnamon, one quarter ounce musk (if desired), one quarter pound sliced ange'.iea root, one-quarter pound red part of cloves, two handfuls of laven-der flower*, heliotrope and mignonette; one-half handful each of ros< mary flower*, bay and laurel leaves, three sweet oranges stuck full of cloves and dried i;i the oven, then powdered in a mortar; one half handful of marjorum. two hand fuls of balm of gilead, dried; one hand ful each of bergamot, balm, pineapple and goose-mint leaves. Mix well to gether and putin layers in a large china jar; sprinkle salt between the layers. Add a small bottle of extract of new-mown hay and moisten with brandy.

Mrs. Broadway's dress was bedrag gled and her feet were wet. More over, she was cross, which, says the New York Sun, was but a natural consequence of her waterlogged con dition. "How did you happen to get so wet?" asked Mr. Broadway. "1 was playing keeper to another person's conscience," was the gloomy response. "A man rode uptown in our ear the other night that deserves a riehe in history. It was on his ac count that L have ruined my dress and my best pair of shoes. He got on the car at Thirty-seventh street and sat down on the front seat, fac ing me. it was raining hard and the conductor did not come around right away to take up his fare. "Tiie man wanted to change to a cross-town ear at Forty-second street, and he began to beckon to the conductor to come up and get his nickel, lint that public servant was huddled up comfortably on the rear platform and never budged. When we reached Forty-second street he had still failed to materialize and the man with a conscience was beside himself with anxiety. "lie couldn't make up his mind what tf> do. lie didn't like the idea of being carried past his corner, but he liked still less to leave the car without paying his fare. Finally he hit upon a happy expedient of which I was the central figure. "'l'ardon me,' he said, 'will you take this nickel and when the eon duet or comes around give it to him, please?' "With that he dropped the money into my hand and was oil' the ear and streaking along down Forty-second street like a mad goat." "What a chump!" putin Mr. Broad way. "He ought to have a monu ment erected to his memory. There isn't another man in Xew York that would have done that." "That's what the men all said," continued Mrs. Broadway. "And he certainly is one of a kind. His ac tions were so unusual that they made me feel awfully foolish, and the remarks of the other occupants of those two seats did anything rather than restore my equanimity. '1 won der how long since he dropped down?' said one, and, 'it looks like a shame to pass up a good beer that way,' said another. And then they all laughed. "As for me, I sat there and blushed. I didn't know what to do with the nickel, for, try as I might, I couldn't HE WAS OFF THE CAR. induce the conductor to come up to the front of the car, and as I was Hearing my own destination, I was scared half to death for fear I wouldn't have a chance to cash it be fore we reached my corner. And sure enough 1 didn't. It quit raining, too, just as we got to our street, and I could have run home between drops if I hadn't been burdened with that awful nickel and its owner's jcon scienee." "But why didn't you give it to somebody else that was going farther on and let him turn it in?" asked Mr. Broadway. Mrs. Broadway looked at her hus band sternly. "How could T do that?" she de manded. "I had my own conscience to look after, as well as his. That man had intrusted his money to me, and it was my duty to deliver it to the proper person, even if I had to ride to Jericho and back. I had been carried seven blocks past this street when the conductor finally paid our end of the car a visit, and I then had to get off in the pouring rain, but I had preserved the honor of that man's conscience and my own, so I suppose I ought not worry about a little thing like a soiled gown and soaking shoes." Mr. Broadway looked at his wife admiringly. "liy Jove, Kate," he said, "you are a trump. But you didn't walk bnek, did you? You took a ear. of course?" "Certainly," said Mrs. Broadway. "And that cost ou another nickel, too," lie observe... Mrs. Broadway flushed slightly. "No, it didn't," sdie said. "The con ductor didn't pay much attention to me when I boarded the car and when he went past he merely called out: 'Fare, fare,' in a vague, impersonal way, so I just sat there and never offered to pay him." "Oh," said Mr. Broadway. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBE-R 3. 1901. LAYING BOARD DRAINS. In Some I.oenlltien and in Certain Conditions They Are Almoat us Uood us Til". While tile is the standard material for drains, it quite often happens that a tile drain does not do so well as one would expect from so expensive an outlay. In soft ground they will some times get out of line or sink into "the mud. At places the line of the drain will sometimes come above the frost line. At such places and at the outlet, freezing will cause the tile to crum ble, in time, unless they arc vitrified, which adds greatly to their cost. A tile drain is no more exempt from trouble with roots, silt or vermin than is one made of boards. In sections re mote from tile yards freights add so much to the cost of tile that their use is almost prohibited, but it is especial ly in these places that woiod can be ob tained more cheaply. Wood is mure enduring when laid in a drain than is generally supposed. Hemlock, which is of but little durabil ity above ground, is still doing service in a drain which was made 18 years ago. A well-laid drain of rived chest nut ior cypress will last almost a life time. White oak and locust arc also very durable. In fact, almost any kind of wood will last well in a deep drain. There are no blows to disturb it, and it will preserve an opening for the flow of water long after decay has set in. A board six inches in width should be nailed to one five inches in width and laid along the bottom of the drain, as at A in Fig. 1. If the boards are rived and there are narrow ones, the liar row ones may Vie nailed over two oth ers, as shown at B. The ditch need not be over a spade's width on the bottom. In depth it should average two to three feet. The deeper the drain, the farther it will draw the water, but it is not advisable to g.o so deep where there is a heavy slay subsoil. Drains will do better service after two or three years, as the ground gets more porous. In laying the boards have them fit jlosely and cover any holes with thin pieces of wood so the dirt cannot work ~\r~v c IIOW TO MAKE A P.OARD DRAIN. in. Be sure to stop tip the outlet with coarse wire screening, to keep out rats, rabbits, etc. Board drains need no plank on the bottom of the ditch, neither do they need any straw or hay on top of the boxes. But it is important to get the grade of the bottom of the ditch uniform, and It will pay to take some pains with it. A drain should not have a steep grade followed by one not so steep. If it is the reverse it will not matter, but in the former ease the water, flowing with some rapidity, will scour and car ry with it some silt. Coming to a sec tion of lesser fall, the flow is retarded and the silt deposited, causing the drain to stop up. Three inches to 100 feet of drain is about the least fall that is practicable to give to board drains. Where it is not desirable to get the services of an engineer to lay out a drain, the farmer may find out what he has got by using the common spirit level, and then he can finish the bot tom of the di'tch with a device T have shown at the bottom of Fig. 1. Take a straightedge 12y 3 feet long and fix to it another straightedge movable at one end. If the two edges are made to be one-half of one inch farther apart at one end than the other and one end leveled by a spirit level the other edge will correspond to a fall of four inches per 100 feet. The movable end can be so attached as to be quickly adjusted to represent any fall desired. For small drains where there is plenty of fall Ihe ditcher can do well enough with his spade and eye; but in longer drains with little fall the assistance of some kind of instrument is required. —Grant Davis, in Ohio Farmer. Good llnnili Would Help. Tt has been shown, according to re port of the industrial commission, that the average haul of the American farmer in getting his produce to mar ket, or to the nearest shipping-station, is 12 miles. The average cost per ton for hauling over the common country roads is 25 cents per ton per mile, or three dollars per ton for a 12-mile haul. Careful estimates also place the total tons hauled at Ti00.000.000 per year and the.average haul at 12 miles, making the total cost of getting the surplus products of the farm fo the local mar ket or the railroad $000,000,000. i. figure is greater than the operatinir ex penses of all the railroads in the Unit ed States.—Farm and Home. Kali in the Horry Patch. Charles llirschinger tells the Farm ers' Review that the best way to cut the surplus runners from strawberry plants is to use a plow with a rolling coulter. He goes over his strawberry fields several times after the plants have ceased to fruit, each time cutting off the runners and cultivating the ground between the rows of straw berry plants. Keeping the plant s well cultivated in the fall helps them to form large root systems and insures strong plants in the spring. The fall growth and development has very much to do with the power to bear • crop the lullowiug year. What 1* Aire? Upon one occasion when Sir Mount.stuart (irant Duff was in the company <»f the distinguished physi cian, the late Sir Andrew Clarke, their talk turned upon 'old age. Asked to define age. Sir Mountstuart took ref ugee in the conventional view by which a woman is the age she looks, and the man the age he feels. "Well enough for society," com mented Sir Andrew. "But what is age?" "Suppose you define it?" suggested Sir Mountstuart. "It seems to me," replied Sir An drew, that age begins when we cease to he able to adapt ourselves to the changes of our environment. A man who cannot do that is already aged, whatever the sum of his years." "That reminds me," said Sir Mount stuart, "of a story told of a caller upon Cardinal New in a n during a se vere illness. 'He is very ill,' the ob server said, 'nevertheless I don't think bi l is tfiiifj to die. He has a great deal of Latin read to him, and lie is made almighty cross by the false quantities!" j "That is deep sea sounding," Sir Andrew remarked. —-Youth's Compan ion. Truthful Youth.

Another tnan, who had not seen him for nearly 20 years, met him a short time ago. and after inquiries as to tiis health asked if he was in the same business. "Oil, no," was the reply. "I'm presiding now." The man who was inquiring about him was really phased by this answer, and remarked that he presumed it was his ignorance, but he must admit he derived no idea of his business from the statement that the for mer market man"was presiding."
