In the daytime there are always little squads of soldiers sweepiug the streets, and so carefully is this work dou.T that the miniature town is as clean as a pin. Whenever a leaf drops some one rushes to tell the street cleaning department, aud 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 cleau 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 Zamboaugueno—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 aud chatting. —Correspond ence Chicago Record.

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 tyjies 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 iu the olden days of the Mississippi, the struggle for supremacy has led to the opening ol the throttle and to the scraping of the fire box. Upward of a hundred ar rivals from down the river w’ere regis tered at % Dawson during the season of open water in 1899. —Appletons’ 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 iu 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. “Aud what else did God make?” The youngster studied for a moment aud looked around helplessly till he no ticed his brother, then his face bright ened. “He made Bill, too, I guess,” he answered, triumphantly.

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 lvould 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 wornau 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 Johu said on this and that occasion or where the Smiths get the money to live on, that while the listener promises eternal siience she forgets after a while that she has done so, and very iunocently repeats tho tale. Then ofteuer than not there is a pretty row. “A mau’s confidence is usually of some importance, and it’s never be trayed; a woman’s isn’t, so it ofteu 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 Another Fprm of Despair. A sharp thing well said is credited to Bir James Stephen, au English lawyer.

When the Sirdar visited us it will be remembered he wore a stand up all round collar, which is kuowu 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 auy 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 iu vogue for a long time to come ou 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 $lOO for each offence.—Chicago Times-Herald. Reasonable in Some Instances.

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 you’ll need. For harder cases a 60 cent bottle is better. For chronic troubles, and to keep on hand, the $l.OO bottle is most economical.
