Curious Opals round In the lluuiboo ol
Manila.
New York Tress: "Among the queer
things found In tho Philippines are
L'amboo opals, a vegotable gem which
is Eometlnies discovered by the natives
In tho Etem of tho bamboo," said a
gentleman who ha3 lived for a number
of years In Manila. "Not one piece of
bamboo In a thousand, however, con
tains n specimen, as tho bamboo grown
there, as elsewhere. Is usually empty,
but accident occasionally brings to
light In the bamboo stem a small flint
like material, which presents the ap
pearance of a perfect opal. These
modules are known to the natives aa
'tobacur,' and I have found from time
to time during my long stay on the
Islands seen several of these vegeta
ble freaks of nature, which reproduced
the characteristic lines of the opal so
faithfully that exjerts were puzzled to
know the differenco between the
vegetable and the real specimen. "Be
sides the tobneur gem there Is fre
quently found In the Inside, of tho Phil
ippine cocoanut a tiny substance re
sembling a spongo, which, when ex
posed to the heat of tne sun for several
days, will reveal the presonce of sundry
Email spheres that have all tho natural
appearance end luster of tho pearl.
Thcso cocoanut gems range from the
f izc of a pin head to that of a small
pen. They are valuable, and when not
used by the natives for personal adorn
ment, aro told to local and foreign mu
seums as curiosities. It may be In
teresting to know that the first chem
ical and inlneralogical examination ol
these vegetable gems was made by
James Smlthson, whose munificence es
tablished tho first of tho scientific bu
reaus of the American government."

Hyrlu la llible times there were whole pas
ture Holds o( tlinm, as Holnmon suggests
when be siiys, "I eluirgo you by the binds
ol the Held." Their antlers Jutted from
tho long grass as tbny lny down. No hunter
who lias been long In "olin llrown s train
will wonder that In the Dlbln they were
classed ntnong el 'nn nnimals, lor the dews,

disgust nt n hiiu'er who, bnvlng sunt a

Hut one il'iy Dnvbl, wbllo fur from the

Hitting near the ir.oiuh of n lonely cave
where lm bud l.'dgod and on the banks ol
it pond or river, hears it punk of hounds in
swift pursuit, ltoeiuisu of tho previous
filleiicii of the forest the olungor startles
blni, and hi suys to lilmolf, "I wonder
what thiHo dogs are after." Then there Is
u eraekling In tho brushwood nnd the loud
breuthlng of some rushing wonder of tin)
wood", and the nntlur of a deer rend the
leiivex of th thleket, and by au instinct
wlileh all hunters recognize It plungtis Into
it pond or lake or rlvor to cool Its thirst
unit at tlio s iiiii) time, by its ciipnaity for
Hwifier nml lunger swimming, to got uwny
Irom the foilinlug harriers.
Dnvld fiiys to himself: "Aim! That is
myself! Saul niter me, Absalom lifter me,
enemlei without number lifter mis. I am
ebased, their bloody muzzles lit my beols,
barking at my good name, barking after
my body, bnrklug after my soul. Oh, tlm

says David, "That hunted deer bus splashed
into the wnter. It puts its hot lips nnd
nostrils Into tho oool wavo that washes tlm
lathered Hanks, and It swims away from
tlio ilery canluiw, nnd it Is freo at Inst.
Oh, that I might llnd In tho deep, wide
lake of (lod's mercy nnd consolation es
cape from my pursuers! Oh, for tho
wnteri of life and refuel As tho hurt

komo of you Imvo Just como from the
Adlrondneks, und the breath of the balsam
and sprnee uud plue is ctlll on you. The
Adlrondneks aro now populous with
hunters, and tho (leer are being slain by
tlieseore. Once while ther tulklng with a
hunter I thought I would like to seu
whether my text was aucurato InltHnllu
Mon, and as I heard the dogs having n lit
tle way o(T and supposed they woro on tho
track of a deer I said to the hunter In rouuh
corduroy, "Do the deer always innko for
Hie water when they are pursued?" Ho
paid: "Oh, yes, mlsterl You sue, they are
n lint and thirsty anluial, and they kuow
where the water is, and when they bear
danger In the distance they lift their ant
lers and snuft the breeze and start for Hue
(plot or Loon or Hnranae, and we get Into
our cedar shell boat or stand by tho runway
Willi rllle loaded-ready to blazo nwny."
My friends, that Is ouo reason why I llko
the liliilo so much. Its allusions are so
true to nature. lis partridges nre real part
ridges, its ostriches real ostriches nud its
lelnilecr real reindeer. I do uol won
der that this unllered glory of tho text
makes Hid hunter's eye sparkle and bit
cheek glow and his respiration quicken, to
say nothing of Its usefulness, iilllloiu.h it l
tho most useful of all KBme, Its llesli dell
clous, Its skin turned into human apparel,
its sinews fashioned into bow strings, its
antlers putting handles on cutlery and
the shavings of Its horns used ns n restora

called hartshorn. Hy putting asido its
usefulness tills enchanting creature seems
made out of grnceruluess nnd elasticity.

Homo time ngo I saw m the Adirondack

ers, "What is the matter with that dog?"
They answered, "A deer hurt lilui," and I
saw lie had ii grout swollen paw and u bat

lruok Mm. And the probability Is Hint
ho urn of you might glvo u mighty clip to
vonr pursuers. Vou might damage their
business, you might worry them luto ill
health, you might hurt thorn, lis much
as they hurt you; but, utter all, It Ii
not worth while. You only hnvo hurt n

There are whole chains of lakes In tho
Adirondack, nnd from one height you oan
see thirty hikes, nnd there are said to be
over 00 In the great wilderness. 8o Hear
are they to enoh oth?r that your mountain
fltildii melt lip nnd carries tlio bont front
ake to lake, the small dlstancb between
them for that reason called a "enrry."
Anil tho realm of God's word 1 oua long
chain of bright, rofrojhlng lakes, each
promise a lake, nnd a very short carry be
tween them, nnd, though for ngei the
pursued have ho.ni drinking out of them,
they aro full up to tin top of thu gmen
banks, nnd the same David doscribfl them,
nnd they seem bo near together tbnt In
three different planes he sponks of them
as a continuous river, saying, "There Is n
river the stre.ims whereof shall make glad
the city of Ood." "Thou Shalt make them
drink of tho river of thy pleasure;"
"Thou greatly enrlchest It w.th thu xlvor
of Ood, which Is full of water."
But many of yon hnve turned your back
on that supply nnd confronted your troub
le, and yon nro soured with your clroum-.
stances, and you are lighting society, and
you nre lighting a pursuing world, nud
troubles, Instend of driving you Into tho
cool lake ot benvouly comfort, have mndn
yon stop and turn round nnd lower your
bend, and It Is simply antler ngalust tooth.
1 do not blame you. Probably under the
same clreumstauces I would hnvo ilone
worse, lint you are all wrong. Yon need
to do a tho reindeer does In February nnd
March it shod Its horns. The It ibhlnlcnl
writers allude to this resignation of antlers
by the stag when they say of n mnn who
ventures Ins money In risky enterprises ho
has hung It on the stng's horns, mi l a pro.
verb In the fur east tells a man who bus
foolishly lost his fortune to go and llnd
where tlio deer has shed his horns. My
brother, quit the antagonism ot your cir

Hut very mnny of you who nre wronged
of tho world nnd if In any assembly be

were asked that all who hud been badly

"We have always done the best wo could

the victims of maligiimout or invalidism or
mlsliap Is Inscrutable." Why, do you not
know that the finer a doer nud tho moro

hunters and tho bounds lire to capture It?
Had that roebuck n rugged fur and
broken hoofs and an obliterated eye and n
limping gait the hunters would hnvo said:
"Pshaw! Don't let us waste our ammuni
tion on n sick deer." And the hounds
would have given u few sulfTs of the tracks
nud then darted off in another direction
for better game, lint when they see n deer

Wild Incitement on a Curette.
Tcople who Imagine that the caretto
Is a sedate and quiet vehicle, fit only
for old women and elderly men who
wish to avoid excitement, are cherish
ing a delusion. As a typical enrette
experience a trip from the rlviT to
Madison street, recently, may be
cited. Directly In front of Cen
trul Music hall the carette, which
was on the wrong side of tho street
collided with a heavy truck loaded with
coops containing live chickens. The
truck driver expostulated with the car
ette driver, and ordered him to take tho
other sldo of tho street at once. The
latter declined. Hot words followed
and a moment li?:er a clmllenga to
duel was given and accepted. Both
men drew their wfilpa and stood up on
their seats. The lashes flew, and the
horiws, thinking tho blows Intended
for them, started up and pulled the ve
hicles apart. The carette turned out
so quickly that a beer wagon almost
took Its wheel off. A moment later,
while the passengers were recovering
from the excitement, a cable train
swept round the corner of Madison
street and was stopped within three
inches ot the venerable equlnes at
tached to the carette, while the passen
gers scrambled out In confusion and
alarm. Chicuso Inter Ocean.

21. "I proclnhned a fast there." Ezre
entered upon hi work with fnstlng nnj
prnyor. The journey was a dangerous oue,
especially with all the treasure he carried.
Ezra renfb.ed tbo daiigor, but he went for
ward In faith. The chief reform of Ezra
was the abolishment of mixed marriage
with the surrounding henthen. The course
of tho Israelites was ruining and degrad
ing the nation. Nearly their whole history
previous to the exile showed how they
yielded to the surrounding Idolatry, be
cause they refused to drive out the Idol,
aters In Joshau's time a history ending In
exile on that account, nnd tho history ol
over seventy years slnco the return was n
Commentary ou tho prnetlco which Ezra
rebuked. The mixed race of Jews uud
Humtirltuns, with their alf-hnatheulsh cus
toms, was n living warning ot tho results
of their course. Ezra's work occupied hut
eight months, though it Is probable bo
spent most of tlm remainder of bis life at
Jerusalem. Thirteen years of silence In

God before tho beat lien rulers mid he
would not dishonor God by nsklng tho
usual military escort. He had represented
God, the object of his worship, hs supreme,
iv powerful, nnd ns having tho strongest
affection for His truo followers. Thiu w
see that this goo I mini had more anxiety
for tlio glory of God than for his own bur
loniil safety. Their faltli was row irded by
tho enjoyment of perfect saluty during tho

sanctuary. Having committed the keep

It to proper men, though without God they
would have watched lu vain. Our prayers
should always bo seconded with our eu
deavors. lVo we expect God should by
Ills providence keep that which belongs to
us? Then ought wo by His grace to cam
for that which belongs to Him; let God's
honor uud interest bo our cure. Tho

A writer In London Telegraph tells
tho following Btory about the king of
Spain as throwing light on that royal
lad's life: "One day, during his history
lcfson, tho king asked his professor to
tell him how Spain camo to lose Chile,
Moxtco and other Spanish-American
colonies. The story wbb narrated sc
thrillingly and artistically that the
royal boy listened spellbound and con
tinued after It had ended to sit ab
sorbed In meditation. At last a tboughl
having struck him, ho looked up to hit
professor and Inquired: 'What must 1
do In order to get back these countrlei
for Spain?' 'Tho first and moot Im
portant thing of all,' replied the cau
tious and diplomatic pedagogue, '1
that your majesty should should
grow to be a man. When you nro a
man' 'Il'inl' muttered the lad, disen
chanted, 'when I'm a man It Is not b
history professor's advlco that I Bhall
be asking. I shall have a prime min
ister to tell me then.' "
For the horse, as for his master,
Ivory finds abundant scope;
Galls and scratches heal much faster,
When well cleansed with Ivory Soap.
Where 'tis used, the work is lighter,
Sleek and smooth the horses' coats.
Harness softer, carriage brighter,
And a final charm it floats.

FITTED TO GOVERN.
Ungllsliinso In Colonial Offlcos Advanced
by Merit Only.
There Is a marked feature of the fine
body of Englishmen and foreigners
generally In tho work In Egypt. And
it is one of especial Interest to those
who hope to see entrance to what, for
want of a better name, may be called
our colonlul service based upon a sys
tem of appointment and advancement
by merit alone. One of the most fre
quent arguments made by American
ndvocates of partisan public service,
when the benefits of the British civil
tervlce are advanced. Is that while the
service may be admitted excellent, en
trance to It Is by favor alone. There
fore, they say, positions aro monopo
lized by the sons of the rich and great,
by what the French call "ions of fam
ily." Nowhere have Englishmen bet
ter proved their fitness for governing
than at Cairo, and nowhere have the
Eons of great men or the bearers of
great names been so conspicuously ab
sent. The majority of tho men who
have made the Egypt of today have at
the same time made themselves. Ey
tl.ls It is not meant that they have
risen from tho lowest ranks of society,
what are generally known as gclf-mado
mm. It Is the good fortune or rather
the legitimate result of the system and
the rewards which It offers that the
best cli.88 of Englishmen enter the
government service. They must oe
men of good standing and good educa
tion. Tho most fitting example Is fur
nished In Lord Cromer, whose very
mime Is now synonymous with things
Egyptian. It is equally difficult to
write of Egypt without mentioning hlc
name, and once It Is mentioned, to
withhold the fullest measure of ad
miration and pralso for the record he
has made. He began life us a younger
and by no means wealthy mtmber of
the financial house of Baring. Fam
ily influence probably secured for him
a nomination to be examined for the
army, Just as such nominations are
giveti to young Americans. But It was
his capability and excellent record
which secured for Major Evelyn Bar
ing, after the fall of Ismail Pasha, ap
pointment as one of the members of
the dual control established over
Egypt by England and France. Ex
cept for an absence of threo years
(1SS0-1S82) as financial member of the
council of India, he has been In Cairo
ever since. To write of what he has
done Is but to write a history of the
occupation, for he has been Its cor-ner-stono.
And toduy he Is undoubt
edly the greatest member of his fam
ily, where twenty years ago he was
probably the most obscure. IIarper'3

La Para Grande, the biggest grape
vino In the world, has reached the end
of Its long outdoor life, nnd will soon
be cut down. Seventy-five years It has
been growing on a rnnch In tho Monte
tlto valley, near Santa Barbara, Cal.,
but It has shown signs of dying, so
the owner, Albert Mngee, the Pittsburg
stove manufacturer, has ordered It re
moved. From the prido of the Cali
fornia vineyards the vine will be
turned into a museum curiosity. The
Panta Barbara chamber of commerce
will preserve It as a specimen of what
the soil of Santa Barbara county Is
nble to produce. La Para Grande has
a trunk or main stem three feet and a
half In circumference, and the trellis,
higher than n man's head, on which
(he spreading brnnches of the vino are
supported, measures nearly six feet In
pitch direction. In Its prime this single
vine produced full four tons of grapes
In a single year. Those days of Its
glory are, however, long past. St.
