At One Time There Were Over Forty In
Every Year.
Manila loves holidays. At one time
there were over forty in each year.
The number had been sadly di-
minished, though there are still thir-
teen left. Each pueblo has its saint.
and on that Saint’s day the inhabi-
tants give themselves over, as they
do on the great holidays of the
church, to music, fireworks, cock-
fighting, processions, etc.
Almost all these processions took
place at night, and the effect was
moSt picturesque. There would be a
line, of marchers, men, women, and
children, walking in single file on each
side of the street, every one with a
lighted candle in his hand. At inter-
vals, in the middle of the road, would
come images of the Saviour, the Vil‘«
gin, and the saints, borne on the
shoulders of from ten to thirty men,
surrounded by priests, and preceded ,
by a band of music. Some of the im-
ages‘were covered with diamonds and
other precious stones, said to be enor-
mously valuable. In these cases there
was always a guard of soldiers with
fixed bayonets about the image. Of-
ten there‘would be thousands of peo-
ple walking in these processions; and
all the while it was moving, tens of
thousands of rockets and bombs
would be fired. These rockets and
bombs are home-made. The rockets
consist only of a joint of bamboo filled
with powder, exploding with great
noise, but with little light. The bombs
are simply a handful of powder tight-
ly wrapped with hemp. They cost a
mere trifle, but make a great noise,
and no fiesta is complete without
plenty of them.
The most curious procession is par-
ticipated in only by natives and the
poorer mestizos. It takes place. if I
remember rightly, during Holy Week.
and is a high solemnity. Every one
walking in the procession is robed in
his grave-clothes. The garment is a
long, loose gray robe with a hood,
and it comes to the ground. The ef-
fect is very strange, and as the peo-
ple go they repeat continually: “Sau-
ta Marin, Madre de Dios, ora pro
nobis!” It may seem strange that
grave-clothes are provided before they
are needed; but in Manila they are-
considered a prime necessity, and
every native owns those clothes, even
if he is bore of all other. The ordin—
ary dress of the native man is trous—
ers and shirt of “piecegoods” (colico),
the shirt being worn outside the trous-
ers. On holidays they wear a shirt
made of “pins,” which is an expensive
material. Native servants wear the
same articles, but they must be of
spotless white; and very suitable and
nice-looking it is though I suppose
that the idea of being driven by a
coachman so dressed would shock the
habitues of Central andeyde Parks.
A curious freak of custom was that
native servants were ' required to
serve bare-footed, while it was an in-
sult if a Chinese servant appeared be-
fore his Superior without his shoes.—
Wallace , Cummings, in Century.
A Wailln-to-Do Lady.
From the time that she was
crowned, Queen VictOria has been in
receipt of an income from the govern-
ment amounting to about $3,000,000 21
year. From this she pays all the ex-
penses and salaries of her household,
charities, pensions, and other charges
imposed upon the sovereigns, be they
more or less. She has _,$300 0001 per an-
num for pockWet‘ money, of which 10
account is ever asked}... The salaries
of her household amount to, about-
$600,000, and the other expenses to
about $750,000 per year; $60,000 is
given her for “bounties and aims,”
and $6,000 for annuities and pensions.
In addition to this, the other membe1s
of the 1"oyal‘ family receive annuities
amounting to $865, 000.
From the duehy of Lancaster the
Queen receives about $450,000 a year,
which she has no need to touch at all.
and probably invests in bulk as fast
as it comes to her. This income of it.-
self, since she has been upon the
throne, with interest, would aggregate
$40,000,000.—Chautauquan.
Rainbow Colors Didn’t. Match.
A woman told a story the other day
of those bygone times when every-
thing in a woman’s costume must
match, “especially in children’s
clothes,” said the woman. “Sash,
stockings, neck ribbon, hair ribbon—
all were required to be of not only the
same color but the same shade. I
was very particular in this respect,
and my little daughter was naturally
imbued with the same faith. One day
when we were visiting in the country
a shower came up which, clearing
away as suddenly as it had come, left
a beautiful rainbow behind it. ‘Come
quic—k,’ I cried to my little daughter.
‘and see the rainbow.’ Now, it hap-
pened that the child had never seen :1
rainbow before. fDenr me!’ she cried
at' the first glance: ‘Violet, indigo
blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
\Vhat horrid taste! Why, nothing
matches? ”——1‘11iladelphia Press.

the builder.

“Hurry,” replied the man who was
paying the bills. “Well, I should say
I was. My wife has expressed herself
as satis-fied‘with the plans of this
house, and I want to see if I can’t get
it built; before she tires of it and
wants me to sell it.”—Chica:._'.o Post.

THEATRICAL REH EARSALS.
This One “has Enough to sudden the
Actors Heart. ‘
It was a group cf three. The cen-
‘tral figure was a man of medium
height who‘would have been almost
dapper had his clothes been new and
carefully worn. His head was bare on
the top, but there was a thick and
curling fringe of hair at the back and
sides. His round face wore an ex-
pression of intense but amiable an-
guish. At his right stood a soberly
clad woman with hat and veil; at his
left, a tall, slim youth with hair part-
)ed in the middle, wearing a sawed-off,
double-breasted sack‘ coat, knife-edge
trousers and tan Shoes. A bundle of
typewritten sheets was in the hand of
each. The boss was gently expostu-
lating with the woman.
"‘No—my—dear!” he said. with in—
tense emphasis. “Not that way at all.
You must put more animation into the
lines. Now listen: 5
“ ‘I thought he was DEAD!’ See?
Lots of emphasis on ‘dead.’ ‘Hlo
death WAS published in the papers!’
“And when you say this you must
suit the action to the word—so”—(here
he went through the desired series of
gestures)—-“and step back—so. Now,
when she says that” (turning to the
youth) “you must put some snap into
your answer. Say it like this: ‘He
WAS given up by the doctors,’ and
so on.
“And then when the Judge comes in
you must start as you perceive him
and look warningly at Mrs. So and So

here. And before you say ‘Introduce
me to the Judge as your brother, that
he may not (suspect anything,’ you
must come close to her so that she
could hear. if you should whisper the
words as you would, were you not
anxiousrto have the whole house hear
you. Andtwhen you'ask for the loan
of $5,000 and promise to pay it'with
4 per cent. interest, you must express
both pleadings and threats by your
tone. Remember that you are the
villain and must talk like one and act
like one.”
While the intruder gazed and. Its-
tened, the Judge, an individual with-
out coat or waistcoat, who wastage
conning a bundle of typewritten
sheets. came on. He read his lines
without looking up or varyingonce
from a monotone. This, however.
seemed to make no impression upon
the boss. who was laboring earnestly
with the youth in the sawed-off sack
coat, to the end that he should make
his devilish nature apparent in his
speech and action. But when the

soberly gowned woman read, in a dis-
tressingly Fourth Reader class voice.
“It is too late to turn back now; but
had I been afforded time for reflec-
rion I should have denounced you."
the curves in his jolly face became
positively pathetic in their show of
pain.
“'011', my clear,” he groaned. ”speak
‘ those lines. with more spirit—‘It is too
late to turn backeNOW—but had I
been afforded: time for reflection. i

“And remember that'you must time

A moment later the plainly gowned
woman and the slender youth sank
into their chairs, and a tall, middle
aged man wearing a. long Prince Al-
bert coat, patentleathers, and a silk
hat, with a tightly rolled umbrella in
hisvhand. but without a. bundle of
typewritten paper. capered up and
down the floor as if tipsy, reeling off
a string Of drunken negro dialect as
if hé‘knew it by heart. Presently a
big‘ blonde' woman. also- smartly
dressed, took her place at the front
and 'sat down, rolling out a faultless
imitation of a. negro mammy’s talk.
To"these seasoned veterans, who
had been saying the same things in
the same way for years, the mild boss
with the curly fringe of hair paid no
attention whatever—they evidently
needed only to be set going like clev-
erly made automatons to proceed until
run down. But when a young woman
strolled in murmuring between her set
teeth, “Mammy Green. Mammy
Green,” the boss was again seized
with agony.
“That is not the way, my child! Oh!
that is not the way, at all! You
should call — excitedly #— so—‘Mammy
GREEN! Mammy GREEN!’—-not
loudly. but with intensity,. and you
should not" be listless. but alert. You
should Impress your excitement in
ydur step, as I do now; you should
know all about the story of which you
are trying to tell a part, and then
you’ll do it better. ”
And so it continued for half an hour
or more. tilt at last, an apparently
satisfactory stopping place having
been reached. the various members of
the group not directly under thee'ye
of the boss, and who had been talk?
ing the sort of gossip one. hears be-
hind the' scenes. each drew ”a long
breath. while one of them wondered
aside to his friend if it wasn’t about
lunch time. >
“Not on your life.” replied the other.
“It’s time to begin all'over again—
that’s what it is, as you’ll find out in
a minute.”
And so it was, for the round face
-of the boss assumed a particularly
the speech' so 'that’it will end just-as
benignant expression- as he called
them all to the front.
“Now, ladies and gentlemen,” he de-
clared. “we’ll try that first act over
again now. while it’s fresh in our
minds, and see if we can’t do it bet
ter.”
The Earth Growing Heavier.
As people grow old they usually
grow stouter, and in this respect our
planet is very human indeed, for the
earth is growing stouter and heavier
every year by some ten thousand tons.
The food on which our planet is thus
fattening herself consists of meteors or
shooting stars. Though we have only
one great shower of shooting stars—
in November—still, every day the earth
is crossing the paths of meteors and
catching shooting stars in her atmos-
phere, which acts as a net. Shooting
stars are pieces of stone, varying in
size from a marble to a. paving-stone,
revolving rou d the sun. The earth
attracts them y her weight, and they
rush towards us at a tremendous speed.
0n plunging into the atmosphere
they become heated by the friction
they encounter, and so become white
hot, and are finally driven off into gas.
Every minute the earth is being sub-
jected to this fusilade, though most of
the meteors are too small to be seen by
the naked eye. The gas condenses in-
to dust and slowly sinks to the earth.
At the very IOWest estimate, 400 mil-
lions of meteors fall into our atmos-
phere every day, or over 140,000 mil-
lions a year.
The dust into which all these shoot-
ing stars are dissolved sinks to the
earth, and if the dust of each meteor
weighs but a single grain, this amounts
in the aggregate to 22,000,000 pounds,
or 10,000 tons. By this amount the
earth increases every year, and as she
never parts with a single grain, she is
growing rapidly heavier. But large as
it may seem in the mass it is really a
trifle compared with the weight of the
earth.
If this annual increment of meteor
dust were spread evenly over the entire
surface of the earth, it would form a
layer less than one-hundred-millionth
part of an inch 111‘ thickness. Bilt
when the twentieth century opens, our
little globe will be 900,000 tons heavier
than it was when the nineteenth cen-
tury dawned.
The largest locomotive in the world
is the Giant, of French type, on the
Mallet; compound articulated system,
that was constructed by the Belgian
State Railway Administration for the
sharp gradients near Liege, having
been shown at. the Brussels Exhibition
of last year. This engine, carried by
six pairs of wheels, weighs in running
order 108,000 kilos, equal to 106 tons,
which weight is entirely utilized for
adhesion; but the arrangement is such
that each pair of wheels only loads the
rails with 18,000 kilos, equal to 173-;
tons.
Animals that Don’t Drink.
There are some animals which never
drink; for instance, the lamas of Pata-
gonia and certain gazelles of the Far
East. A number of snakes, lizards,
and other reptiles live in places de-
void of water. A hat of Western
America inhabits waterless plains. In
parts of Lozere, France, there are
herds of cows and goats which hardly
ever drink, and yet produce the milk
for Roquefort cheese.
A11 epicure says there are always
seven wrong ways to eat an egg, and
only one right way. We have discov-
ered a time when there are eight wrong
ways, and that is when the egg is a bad
one.
Kind Party: “If I give you this
penny, what will you do with it?”
Tatters (sarcastically): “I'll be
honest with you, guv’nor. I’ll spend it
