Street Cleaniii^ in .Jolo.
In the daytime there are always
little squads of soldiers sweeping the
streets, and so carefully is this work
dons that the miniature town is as
clean as a pin. Whenever a leaf
drops some one rushes to tell the
street cleaning department, and a
squad of men hurry to remove the
leaf. All parts of the town are scrupu-
lously clean, but if any place can be
called more scrupulously clean than a
scrupulously clean place, then it is
that part of the street just before the
door of Maria Concha's shop. Maria
is a pretty Zamboangueno—really the
prettiest native girl I've seen in the
Philippines —and as she is the only
pretty girl in Jolo, she is tremend-
ously popular. The street cleaning
department spends hours sweeping
the leaves off the street in front of
her shop, and the young officers put
in much of their time sitting in her
little shop and chatting.—Correspond-
ence Chicago Record.

THIRTY YEARS QF OURES
Try Crasn-O!
Try Grain-O!
Ask your Grocer to-day to show
you a package of GRAIN-O, the new
food drink that takes the place of
coffee.
The children may drink it without
injury as well as the adult. All who
try it, like it. GRAIN-O has that
rich seal brown of Mocha or Java,
but it; is made from pure grains, and
the most delicate stomach receives it
without distress. £ the price of coffee.

The Dawson of 1899.
The Dawson of 1899 is no longer
the Dawson of 1898, and much less
that of the year previous. The thou-
sands of bateaux that were formerly
lined up against the river front, in
rows six deep and more, and compris-
ing all manner of craft from the small
canoe to sliced sections of scows, have
mostly disappeared, and in their
place we now find the graceful and
ungraceful forms of varying tyjjes of
steamboat. It is no uncommon thing
nowadays to find five or more of these
larger craft tied up at one time to the
river front, and the amplitude and
majesty of the Mississippi boats gain
but little in a comparison with some
of these larger craft of the Yukon
river. Overhung signs call attention
to the flying queens of the river, the
Bonanza King, Canadian and Sibyl,
and thousands are offered upon the
result of the race to the White Horse
Rapids. So here, as in the olden days
of the Mississippi, the struggle for
supremacy has led to the opening of
the throttle and to the scraping of the
fire box. Upward of a hundred ar-
rivals from down the river were regis-
tered at#Dawson during the season of
open water in 1899.—Appletona' Pop-
ular Science Monthly.
Made Bill Too.
A small boy from the slums had
been brought into the mission school,
and for a couple of Sundays he had
been instructed in the rudiments. The
third Sunday he brought with him his
brother William. To test his memory
the teacher began to go over the pre-
vious lessons. "Who made you?" she
asked. "God," he replied, promptly.
"And what else did God make?" The
youngster studied for a moment and
looked around helplessly till he no-
ticed his brother, then his face bright-
ened. "He made Bill, too, I guess,"
he answered, triumphantly.
First Come, First Served.
Don't say that you couldn't get the
valuable presents offered with "Red
Cross" and "Hubinger's Best" laundry
starch; your grocer has them for you;
ask him for a coupon book, which will
enable you to get one large 10s. pack-
age ot "Red Cross" starch, one large
10c. package of "Hubinger's Best"
starch, with the premiums, two beauti-
ful Shakespeare panels, printed in
twelve beautiful colors, or one Twen-
tieth Century Girl calendar, all for 5c.
Protected Hjilrants in Dawson,
A novelty has just been introduced
by the water works company in Daw-
son, probably not duplicated in any
other city on the continent. It con-
sists of a wooden house, 6x6x6 feet,
which is placed over each hydrant in
the city. Each of these houses con-
tains a small stove, in which fire is
kept day and night. By the payment
of $1 a week patrons can secure water
at any time.
lVhal Sliall We Have For Dessert?
This question arises in the family daily. Let
us answer it to-day. Try Jell-O, a delicious
and healthful dessert. Prepared in 2 aain. No
boilin«! no baking ! Simply add a little hot
water & set to cool. Flavors: Lemon,Orange,
Raspberry and Strawberry. At grocers. 10c.
"Women and Secrets.
Said the Bright Girl to her chum,
apropos of women and secrets, "Al-
most any woman will hold sacred a
confidence reposed in her by a man.
Wild horses could hardly drag it from
her, and while she may be positively
dying to tell it to her nearest and
dearest, and will have to screw her
determination to the sticking point to
keep from doing so, she will succeed
in her attempt. More, I'm afraid,
because she fears such a breach of
confidence would injure her in his
estimation than because of any prin-
ciple involved.
"Any man can trust a woman who
likes him with even a momentous
secret, but I wouldn't advise another
womau to do so. I'm afraid that
sounds very uncomplimentary to my
sex, doesn't it? Women can keep
other women's secrets—if they want
to, but usually the confidences poured
into their ears are so unimportant, so
much a matter of what John said on
this and that occasion or where the
Smiths get the money to live on, that
while the listener promises eternal
silence she forgets after a while that
she has done so, and very innocently
repeats the tale. Then oftener than
not there is a pretty row.
"A man's confidence is usually of
some importance, and it's never be-
trayed; a woman's isn't, so it often is,
which proves that women can keep
secrets if they wish.
"Which one of the gentle sex has
ever been found who couldn't be as
dumb as an oyster when it comes to
her own affairs ?"—Baltimore News.
Merely Anotlier Kprm of Despair.
A sharp thing well said is credited
to Sir James Stephen, an English
lawyer. A tedious woman had been
pleading with him, and he was asked
what he hoped for her. "That she
will stop talkiug soon,"said he. "But
hope is only a heroic form of despair."
Beauty Is Blood Deep.
Clean blood means a ciean skin. No
beauty without if. Cascarets,Candy Cathar-
tic clean your blood and keep it clean, by
stirring up the lazy liver and driving all im-
purities from the body. Begin today to
banish pimples, boils, blotches, blackheads,
and that sick! v bilious complexion by taking
Cascarets—beauty for ten cents. All drug-
gists, satisfac ion guaranteed,10c, 25c, 50c.
How the Sculptor Works.
The sculptor makes no drawings.
His first models, made in clay, are
three feet high. These are repro-
duced in plaster. The next set is seven
feet high, first clay, then plaster.
From the last cast the stonecutters
work, calcula'ing distances to be twice
as great on the larger figures. Points
are laid with geometrical precision all
over the working model and the rough
stone from which the completed figure
is to appear.
\
There are many white soaps, each represented
to be just as good as the Ivory; they are not, but
like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable
qualities of the genuine.
Ask for Ivory Soap and insist upon getting it.

Tlie Sirdar's Collars.
Wiien the Sirdar visited us it will
be remembered he wore a stand up
all round collar, which is kuown by
various names, such as the "dragoon,"
the "Khartoum," etc., but whatever
name it is known by to the different
makers the high stand up is the most
fashionable shape in collars today,and
is selling in much larger quantities
than any other style since the Sirdar
set the fashion. It is certainly a smart,
military looking collar, and for that
reason alone it is quite certain to re-
main very much in vogue for a long
time to come on account of the popu-
far admiration which exists just now
lor all things military.—London Globe
fenders for Automobiles.
Automobiles must wear fenders.
That is the purport of an ordinance
presented to the city council. All
manner of automobiles are included
in its application. The self-propelling
tally-ho-coupe and runabout are
bracketed with the department store
delivery wagon and the dray. All
fenders must be of the "basket" pat-
tern and made of steel. It is further
provided that it shall be unlawful to
operate automobiles without fenders
after April 1, 1900. The penalty is a
fine of not less than $25 nor more
than SI00 for each offence.—Chicago
Times-Herald.
Reasonable in Some Instances.
Mrs: Naggett—This paper says that
in some parts of the Philippines a
wife can be bought for $1. Isn't that
outrageous?
Mr. Naggatt—Oh, I don't know.
Probably some of them are worth it.

I Had
Cough
"I had a bad cough for six
weeks and could not find any
relief whatever. I read what a
wonderful remedy Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral was for coughs and I
bought a bottle. Before I had
taken a quarter of it my cough
had entirely left me."—L. Hawn,
Newington, Ont., May 3, 1899.
Quickly
Cures Colds
Neglected colds always lead
to something serious. They
run into chronic bronchitis which
pulls down your general health
and deprives you of sleep: or
they end in genuine consump-
tion with all its uncertain results.
Don't wait, but take Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral just as soon as
you begin to cough. A few
doses will cure you then. But
it cures old colds, too, only it
takes a little more time. We
refer to such diseases as bron-
chitis, asthma, whooping-cough,
consumption, and hard winter
coughs.
If you've just taken cold a 25 cent bot-
tle is all ydu'11 need. For harder cases a
50 cent bottle is better. For chronic
troubles, and to keep on hand, the $1.00
bottle is most economical.
