Hotv He "Worked file Artist.
This account of how an intimate
friend of the great artist Kyosai obtain
ed one of the pai'T's drawings is
from Mrs. Hugh Fruser'b "Letters from
Japan." - .
Kyosai always rofnerd if asked out
right for a sketch. So his friend began
the negotiation by offering the artist an
excellent dinner. When Kyosai had
drnnk deeply and seemed in a mellow
humor, his host would call for drawing
materials, saying that he felt an artis
tic fancy taking possession of him. No
one was surprised, as Japanese gentle
men often amuse themselves in this way
after a feast. The servant then brought
an enormous sheet of white paper and
spread it on the floor with the brushes
and'Indian ink beside it.
The crafty host, without looking at
his guest, sank on his knees and began
to draw, apparently absorbed in his oc
cupation, bnt intentionally producing
few weak and incoherent lines. Kyosai
watched the feeble effort in silence and
growing irritation, and at last jnmped
up, dashed the tyro aside and tore the
brush out of his hand, exclaiming:
"Out of the way, yon wretched bnn
glerl I will teach you how to draw!"
And the result was a priceless sketch,
which remained in the possession of the
wily entertainer.

Special Correspondence.
Manila, April 24. The people "who
havs Made the trouhle in Luzon for
both the Spaniards and the Americana
belong to the Philippine tribe known
as the Tngalo accent on the "gal."
The Jetnit Father Burnero, speaking of
the natives in general, informs ns in
his history that the Spaniards have
bronght them to a state of civilization
and converted theuf to Christianity. If
so, like tome white people, they have
a queer way of showing it.
The Tagalo i- a degenerate and scrub
Malay, if there is any other kind of
Malay, which I incline to doubt. From
his tribe come the house servants and
laborers, likewise the rebels, in and
about Manila and the neighboring
towns of Luzon.
In Manila are two worlds one in
the basement, the other up one flight of
dirty, though decorated, stairs. The
two worlds are as distinct as the spir
itualist's different spheres in the gum
merland. They touch at no point

ability to observe holidays. That is nn-

TAGALO AND HIS EASTEK COSTUME.
limited. He would fain knock off work
religiously for every holy day and feast
day in the Roman Catholic church, and
the number seems unlimited. When
those fail, ho generally has a funeral or
two of some relative or friend to at
tend. Holy week, preceding Easter
Sunday, is the great time of the year
for the Tagalo. Unless hia living liter
ally depends on it, he will not work on
Good Friday or the Saturday following.
This present year marked the first time
in the history of Manila that the street
cars were run on Good Friday. The
strong arm of American military au
thority forced the puny little native
drivers and conductors to attend to
their business.
Permit me to qualify the statement
that the Tagalo has no ambition He
has one that absorbs his little mind
during the first two months of each
year. It is to get a new shirt for holy
week. It is as much to him as to the
fashionable American lady is her new
Easter bonnet. His shirt is his most
gorgeous article of attire. On it ho
spends the anxious thought of days and
nights, and perhaps a month's wages.
About the 1st of March your cook or
coachman will ask you for n month's
wages in advance to buy him a new
shirt for holy week. His shirt is his
outer upper garment, in every case
worn outside of his trousers. For a Ta
galo to wear his shirt inside of ,1ns
trousers would be a breach of etiquette
unpardonable in the eyes of his race.
The Tagalo's everyday apparel con
sists of an undershirt and trousers, with
a pair of wooden soled toe slippers
handy and comfortable for a hot cli
mate. If the weather is very warm or
if he has onl one undershirt, he omits
that garment and walks forth with only
the thin lawn shirt on the upper half
of his body, his brown hide shining
through and giving to the tout ensem
ble that tint of different color consid
ered so artistic in Worth and Redfern
creations. On Good Friday the Tagalo
steps forth in his new holy week shirt.
If he has any money left over after
paying fcr rt. then the females and
children appear in new garments too.
If the Tagalo race outside Manila is
not superior to the specimens here, then
it mnst be on the road to extinction
The children are the scrawniest, for
lornest samples of infancy one can pic
ture to himself. A native child a year
and a half old at our honse is no taller
than the healthy well grown American
baby of 7 months that its mother has
just brought from San Francisco. The
American child is much heavier than
the native one, which cannot walk yet
in spite of its 18 months' sojourn in this
weary world.
If, however, the little Tagalo girl
cannct walk, it will not be long till she
can smoke cigarettes. She will quite
possibly be able to smoke as soon as she
can walk. The first and finest accom
plishment of the infant native is ciga
rette smoking. Everybody man, wom
an and child is addicted to it. I have
seen a skinny little girl looking no more
than 4 years old puffing at a cigarette
that was longer than her own hand,
prouder of it than a white boy is when
he first has his long curls cut off.
Undoubtedly the Roman church has
striven faithfully for 800 years to en
graft monogamy on the Philippine Is
landers; but, speaking in the terms of
vaccination, it has not "taken." In
spite of all the terrors and thunders of
both law and theology your Tagalo can
not nndeHitand why he should not run
his domestic relations to suit himself.
Tho romance of Agapito and Felipa,
that came under my own observation,
illustrates the point. Hear tho romance
of Agapito and Felipa:
Felipa was engaged as nnrso of tho
handsome San Francisco baby that was
brought out from America in our ship.
She was a bello among tho Tagalos,
with tho temper of a vixen and an eye
that flashed like a red Indian's. Agapito
was doorkeeper at tho Army and Navy
club. lie fell in lovo with Felipa and
spent a whole month's wages $7.0
on her. He bought her gingham skirts,
red and yellow, and with long tails to
&
them that trailed behind on the ground;
likewise pineapple cloth waists of del-
icate texture Nothing was too good
for her. Felipa took the greatest pride,
however, in two plated rings which
Agapito's inf;rtnation bad led him on to
buy for her. She exhibited the rings to
us exultantly and told us that on the
Sabbath of Glory she was to be married
by the holy father to Agapito. They
had been already wedded Tagalo fash
ion for three month-- that is. they had
simply been living together. Thy de
cided to marry white folk fashion, how
ever, and the knot was to be tied on
the Sabbath of Glory, which was tho
day before Easter.
But what can one count on in this
world? Two weeks before the Sabbath
of Glory Felipa met a handsomer man.
He was an oily tongued and no ltss oily
headed yonng Jap. He also was em
ployed at the Army and Navy club, and
he had the additional advantage of
speaking English wr well. On the
strength of this he told Felipa he was
an American, and she believed him.
Men were gay deceivera ever.
Dazzled by the glamour of an alliance
with the all conquering American race,
Felipa turned icy cold to her faithful
Agapito. She jeered at him, told bin
she hated him anil would never marry
him no. uevei I
"Give me back, then, my jewel
cried Agapito. "Give me back my
$7.00, or, if not that, at least the red
and vellow gingham skirts and the
rings washed with gold With them,
even if I cannot bring thee back, I can
get another girl just as good." Bnt
Felipa would not
Then the desperate Agapito appealed
to the senora, Felipa's employer. He
informed her that the girl was no fit
nnrse for the baby, seeing that she had
run away from him and gone with an
other. She was a bad character, he de
clared, which was a rather curious
argument, considering that ho was do
ing his utmost to make her come back
and be his wife again.
The senora appealed to Felipa, who
refused cither to go back to Agapito or
restore the gown's and the rings. They
weie hers, sue deelareo, because sne
bad been the wife of .Agapito three
months, and she had earned them. See
ing what an ill favored, ungallant
creature he was, Felipa had reason on
her side. Agapito went away heart
broken without either girl or property.
But outraged justice did not slumber
in that crushed breast. In due time the
senora. Felipa's mistress, received a
letter in choicest Tagal pigeon Span
ish informing Jier that unless he got
those brass rings and those red and yel
low dresses back Agapito would imme
diately lay the whole matter before the
United States government as represent
ed by General Otis.
This threat of a national complica
tion on account of her love affairs
brought Felipa to terms. Rather than
be court martialed she surrendered
the valuables, and now Agapito, hold
ing them once mere in his hands as a
bait, is looking for another wife. But,
alas, for the trusting feminine heart 1
The wily Jap, who, by posing as an
American, cut Agapito out, has not
married Felipa. It may be for years
and it may be forever ere she finds an
other who will spend 7.50 a month on
her. One of the great needs of Manila ia

have no direct line to Manila, a fact
not to our credit. Under existing ar
rangements five weeks usually more
than that are required to go from San
Francisco to the Philippines.
Loss of time is not the worst feature
of the route. Cargoes for tho Philip
pines mnst be unloaded up n lighters
at Hongkong and be shipped in steam
ers bound for Manila. By the delay
hnndreds of dollars' worth of perishable
goods are often ruined in a single con
signment. A considerable proportion of
what is left is sometimes stolen yes,
that is the right word stolen. For
petty thievery yon may put the Chinese
against the world. For wholesale rob
bery of these Manila bound caroges tho
white man takes the palm, and during
the trip from Hongkong to Manila, or
at one end of' it, stealii.g on both the
large and the small scale is not uncom
mon. I do not pretend to say at which
end, whether by thieves in league with
the lighters at Hongkong or with the
American petty customs officials at Ma
nila or 6oth I state the fact without
comment.

'Special Correspondence.
Washington, June 5. The proposi
tion that "republics are ungrateful,'
which unhappily wa true in the ca.-e
of Marshal Ney, in reference to which
the words were originally applied, lias
proved quite the contrary in the treat
ment which this republic has accorded
its heores, particularly those in the
naval branch of the service. Congress
has been the medium throngh which
the nation has usually expressed its
gratitude to the defenders of the flag,
though there have been scores of in
stances in which commonwealths,
municipalities, societies and individu
als have attested their appreciation. of
heroic service in the gift .of medals,
swords, purses, plate and estates dur
ing the lifetime of the objpet of their
admiration and by the dedication of
statnes and monuments, to their mem
ory after death.
From John Paul Jones to George
Dewey the American people have not
been wanting "n appreciation and re
ward of our great naval captains, who,
however, have received no more than
they deserved. Though it is true that
Paul Jones died in Paris in compara
tive poverty and neglect, the fanlt was
not that of his countrymen, who had
conspicuously honored him for his great
service in the Revolutionary war and
particularly for his brilliant victory
with the Bonhomme Richard over the
British Serapis in English waters and
doubtless would have conferred upon
him fnrthpr honors and emoluments
had he remained in this country
It would be quite out of the question
to refer in detail to all the naval heroes
whom tho American people have de
lighted to honor since Paul Jcnes hoist

Dewey and the several propositions
emanating from various quaiters to
substantially reward the hero of Manila

Stephen Decatur, the hero of two
naval contests with the Barbary states,
in 1804 and in 1814, was signally hon
ored by congress and his countrymen
for his heroic service. All the maritime
countries of Europe voted him thanks
for pntting an end to the Barbary
piracy which had long menaced com
merce. One of his exploits in the har
bor of Tripoli is described by Lord Nel
son as "the most daring feat of the
age."
The heroic naval captains of .1812 re
ceived generous recognition from their
grateful countrymen. Isaac Hull, the
commander of the Constitution. "Old
Ironsides," was awarded a gold medal
and the thanks of congress, and $50,000
was distributed among the officers and
crew of his ship. Swords and other
mementos wero presented by several
state legislatures, and gifts of various

BOOM IN ZINC.
Lively Timed In tlie Joplln District
of Missouri.
Specia. Correspondence.
Jopijx. Mo., June fi. This city is
the center of a great zinc and lead min-H
ing region and i at the present time
witnessing an extraordinary boom.
Jopliu has about 22,000 inhabitants,
fine streets, -substantial bnsiness blocks,
a first class electric light system and
pnre water. Five railroads run through
the place, and it is thronged with peo
ple anxious to get rich.
In common with other metals zinc
hns increased rapidly in price. Less
than a year ago this mineral bronght
$20 a ton, and at the present time the
W8SMj$
PRIMITIVE ZISC HOISTING.
same quantity commands over $50.
This rise is dne to several canses. The
zinc deposits of Belginni are said to he
almost exhausted, and when an exten
sive aud protracted strike took place in
that country the smelters of Europe
were compelled to import their zinc
from the United States. Then the price
hegan to soar. Zinc is largely employed
in galvanizing iron, and this product
is having an increased use. Zinc is also
used in smelting gold, and it is estimat
ed that two tons are consumed in pro
ducing $40,000 worth of gold. In the
electrical field zinc is known as a posi
tive metal, and as yet no substitute has
been found for it.
The manner of mining here is very
primitive. The belt of mineral bodies
extends over an area of some 30 square
miles. Part of the country is rolling
while another section embraces good
level farming land. The mineral de
posits are met with as near as five feet
from the surface in some places. All a
person needs is pick and shovel and
then to dig a hole, or shaft, as it is
called here. Most of the shafts reach a
depth of from loO to 175 feet. The
country round about is bimply dotted
over with stakes, shafts, monnds of
flint and tall chimneys. The supply of
zinc and lead is simply inexhaustible.
There is no better place for a poor
man to mine than here. Little capital
is required, much of the land being
owced by parties who refuse to sell
outright. They prefer to lease their
property to others and receive royalties
from the receipt of the ore sales. The
owner is generally willing to hire out
the land for 10 per cent of the value of
the ore obtained. Often the lessee di
vides his tract into sections 200 feet
square, ana tne small miner wno lanes
one of these is glad to pay from 30 to
33 per cent of the valna of the ore for
the privilege of mining.
Saturday is pay day here. The smel
ter pays for his ore weekly. The scfall
miner pays his help, if he happens to
have any, and then the'lessee receives
his money. Then the landlord gets his
rents, and in this way tho money gets
into circulation. Any person can mine
here. A man having no experience can
get a job paying 2 a day, and if ho is
economical he can soon save 200. This
sum will purchase a stake. Drilling
costs 1 a foot. This is tho best way to
locate ore, but if the poor miner cannot
afford such a Inxnry he must commence
operations by digging a shaft with his
own efforts and discover the metal for
himself. -
The Joplin district last year produced
nearly 2CO.O0O tons of zinc. One man
entered the city barefooted, and now
he owns bnsiness property, many mines
and several smelting establishments.
One man, formerly a newsboy, bought
a claim for almost nothing and later
sold it for $S0,000. Another traded a
cow for an interest in a mine and was
lately offered 500 for his share. For
tunes are made in an hour here. It
must not be snpjiosed, however, that
every miner gets rich. Many get hold
of poor clnims. but most of them pay
pretty well.
Boston is tho great hotbed of mining
speculation in this country. Yon pick
up n newspaper in that city, and per
haps a whole page is given over to ad
vertising copper ventures. It may ba
that the speculators in Boston havo
made so much money in copper proper
ties, or else they are tired of tho game,
for thousands of Boston dollarRare seek
ing invrstuicnt in Joplin mines. One of
tio local banks has a large sum of
1IKOTrr(KTrs
".iim : na.ir ui r iuiiiskb n mi n ii,: nt
mmmmzmm&
money on deposit which will be applied
to the purchase of mines and prospects
here. The Colby syndicate has, it is re
ported, purchased over $750,000 worth
of mining property in this vicinity.
Patrick Murphy is one of the most
unique characters in this city. He is
called "The Father of Joplin." He
deserves the name, for not only is he
quite aged, but he is the pioneer set
tler. He came here penniless and later
laid out the city, built the first smelter
and was Joplin's first mayor. Mr.
Murphy now lives at Carthage, in the
finest house in the whole region. He be
lieves in the future of the mines here
and declares them to be inexhaustible.
He says only the mere surface of the
mines has been searched, and as the
shafts are pushed lower and lower the
richer will the returns become. Mr.
Mnrphy'e life reads like a romance.

MICROBES ON THE BRAIN.
'Tis said
There are microbes in the sugar, there are
microbes in the milk.
There are microbes in my slippers nnd in my
gown of silk.
There are microbes up above u", there are mi
crobes down below,
So I know not how to clothe myself and know
not where to go.
There are microbes in my boudoir, there are
microbes down the stairs.
There are microbes on the Stock Exchange
and microbes with the bears.
These animals who try to down all stocks (they
do not own)
Call loudly now, A microbe dwells within
the telephone."
1 telephone no moru to friends, as I've been
wont to do.
Lest while I talk unwittingly I swallow mi
crobes too.
Good gracious, I am frightened quite to stir or
more nliont.
I do not dare to stay at home and shudder to
go out.
Papa thinks microbes were begat in Eden long
ago
And hovered rouud that tree perhaps where
apples atd to grow,
And all thee centuries they've lhtd invisible
to sight,
Till wondrous modern microscopes liave
brought the things to light.
He says they ever have been fought by doc
tors in connection
With illness, but they then were called "con
tagion" and "infection."
O faculty, 'tis gejod for you, this microscopies
fad.
But for a tim'rous public, I assuio yon, it is
bad.
Spirit of grandma, tell me.how you managed
in your day
To live and love and cat nnd drink in such a
simple way.
You drank freh water from the well and
fresh milk from tho cow
And worried not o'er microbes, nj it is the
fashion now.
And so yon lived, dear grandma, for over
eighty years.
Tour life filled our young hearts with Joy,
your death our eys with tears.
Perhaps I can attain that age and keep my
freshness, too.
If I dismiss this microbo craze and fill my
thoughts anew.
Papa says, "All must do it, or else," he Bays,
" 'tis plain
Our race will pine away nnd die with microbes
on the brain."

There is a strange wild plant in
Guadeloupe called the "life plant." If
a leaf he broken off and pinned by the
stem to tho wall of u warm room, each
of the atigh't between the enrves of the
leaf margin soon throws out a number
of very white tentacles, or roots, and
soon a tiny new plant begins to sprout,
and in the course of a week rr two at
tains a height of two or three inches.
When the old leaf shrivels, the new
plant i.i cut off and planted. When
carefnlly cultivated, the life plant pro
duces enrious red and yellow blossoms.
While the plant is native only in a
warm country, there is no doubt that
it could be successfully grown in any
greenhouse, and as a plant freak it cer
tainly is as interesting as tho everlast
