Translated From Dschelaieddin Burnt by Bit ter. How the Ugliest Man In the Regiment Won a Dusky Beauty. He was the ugliest man in tho S'tcentb infantry. And he looked it So tbe men called him Cross Dog, and save on the pay rolls he knew no other name. Cross Dog wag in the prime of life, but looked older. He had put In about 12 years In the army and was at that point In a private soldier's careerwhere he realizes that he has lost the kuack of earning a livelihood In civil life, but still yearns for its freedom. For it is only after about 15 years of service and numerous failures at civil voca tions that the average enlisted man .ceases to vow that he will never take on again and settles down to soldiering for life. Cross Dog's temper was peppered dynamite. Ho had thrashed or been thrashed by nlne-tenlha of tho regi ment and was ready at a second's no tice to begin again. His tongue match ed his temper, and his face was seamed with surliness. There was only one thing In the World of which Cross Dob was afraid, and that was woman. "Shure," said Private Sevenspot, "av Cross Dog Ivor loved a woman he'd be scared so he'd cuss her to death and thin elope with a recruiting sergeant." Back in the States It bud been a fortunate thing for Cross Dog that he was not suscepti ble to tho charms of the fair sex, for bis personality was not nn attractive one and bis conversation was a Jumble of cuss words and growls. But In the Philippines the world is topside down, as a Chinaman calls It, aud curious things happen. And It was In the Phil ippines, nt the Hacienda de Sovilla, near Isabella, Negros, that Cross Dog won a woman's heart A company cf the S'teenth Infantry was stationed at Isabella, and a 'de tachment of five men. In charge of Pri vate Sevenspot was sent to the hacien da to protect property In that region from the raids of Paplrclo bandits who swarmed in the nearby mountains. Cross Dog was one of the detachment Tbe Hacienda de Sevilla consisted of a big sugar mill, tbe blackened ruins of the plantation house, burned to the ground by the Papircios, and six native nipa shacks scattered along the west ern bank of the river Ballnbagan. But this little hamlet supported a popula tion of 800 native amigos, most of whom, burned out of their homes by tbe Papircios, camped In the big sugar mill under the' protection of Private Sevenspot's little detachment During the day they worked In tbe cancflelds and at night huddled together In the mill, around which the six Americans stood guard. Lulsa, the woman In the case, for girls of 14 are women where tbe world Is topside down, lived In a six by six nlpa shack built In tbe box of a two wheeled cart that stood beneath tbe shelter of the sugar mill roof. On the evening that Sevenspot's detachment arrived at tbe hacienda old Pedro was absent Old Pedro was Lulsa's father. His erony, old Jose, In tbe next village up the river, bad received a months pay from Senor Holljos that day, and Pedro bad gone to pass tbe evening with him and belp drink a bucket of tuba. At 11 o'clock be came sn'r.nter lng homeward with unsteady but cat like steps In blissful Ignorance of the fact that the Americanos were In posv session of tbe sugar min. Pedro's brown bide was chock of tu ba, and bis soul was tilled wltb great JJoy. In fart, be was so happy that b yearned to butcher sofflCtbtngran-Trtd woman or a baby or a lame dog. As be came tbrosgb tbe trail In tbe cane brake be' slashed at the young stalk and grimaced blissfully as In Imagina tion be neatly clipped the leaders of unarmed foes with bis bolo sword. Cross Dog was on post, too, at tbe upper entrance to thoangar mllL- The first night on guard at a strange post with a small detachment and In a country swarming wltb treacherous foea I a great trial to men's nerves. Especially so when It is next to Impos sible to distinguish friend from foe. Moreover, Cross Dog had been unfor tunate In his details for a week back and bad been marched on an average of 13 miles each day through muddy rieeflelds. which Is equivalent to 40 miles a day on an American highway. Consequently Cross Dog's temper, ua it ally peppered dynamite, was now saw edged lightning. Sevenspot bad posted him with tbe Information that natlri amigos were not supposed to be abroad after 0 o'clock and left the rert to tui tflacretiou. Cross Dog, hacked with his bayonet at the dried mod on his stagings and stared across tbe narrow clearing b tween tbe mill and the eancfleld. Then came Just tbe semblance of a rnstk from tbe cant'arake, and Cross Do stopped hacking and dropped sudlculj on one knee, for a night f man can jea. hmmmiml 'i better squatting than standing. The nearer his eyes to the ground the high er nnd plainer objects are thrown nt against the horizon. The' rustle in the cnnefleld grew loud er, and Cross Dog unlocked the safety on bis Krag. Then, oblivious of hli danger, old Pedro stepped noiselessly Into the clearing ami tho shadow ol death. Cross Dog waited for tho sec ond native to come out of tho brake. If ho came In the footsteps of his Ills leader, one bullet would do duty foi two. And It is a pity to waste ammu nition, and a dirty rifle barrel makut work. If old Jose bad accompanied old Pcdra.homo that night, there would have been two funeral drums to beat next day. But as old Pedro came alone Cross Dog hesitated n second and de cided to givo the Intruder a chance foi his life. ' "Haiti" he cried. Old Pedro started and then In hit fright came on all the faster, bis wick ed looking bolo In band. That wns too much for Cross Dog's temper and nerves, but be was an American nnd instinctively hated to kill a half armed creaturo whoso life he could take as he would snuff a candle. Moreover, be had an American contempt for the flghtlng"qunlltles of these brown pyg mies nnd tho disposition to play cal and mouse with them until they came right up to the bayonet's, point Sc Cross Dog's first shot made a kite ol old Pedro's straw bnt, his second spat tered the mud In front of him and three more made shallow grooves Id bis bare brown legs. There was one cartridge left In Cross Dog's rifle- when Pedro halted, panting, at the bayonet's point. An Inch more and that cartridge would have been the final period lu old Pedro's book of life, for Cross Dog was not only rattlesnake mad, but alsd&rossly Insulted. A bare legged Kakiajlc In bis shirttall and a straw hat aud armed with a four span bolo had dared to charge right up to bis rifle's mouth! Cross Dog felt that he ought to kill this fool creature. It was according to orders. But some how he coulclu't quite do It. So he Jabbed with his bayonet through Pe dro's hide and gave him a choice selec tion of profanity nnd advice. "Blink blank (Jab) you," he exclaim ed, "when Molieana say halt, you (J"W halt (Jab). Kavey? Ypu blink blank, caruinbu fool, if you (Jab) keep va moosln, blank you, when Molieana say (Jnb) halt, Melleann booni-boom you, blink blank you, blank quick! Blink blank you (Jab), when Mcllcnna say halt, "you stop quick every blank tempo till Mcllcnna nmlayoh (aee) you with his blanked mala (eyes) and talkee ati kee (come here), blank you! You (Jab) savey?" Then old Pedro, after explanations, was permitted to go to his nlpa shack, and tho four Americans off guard re turned to their blnnkets. After crawl ing Into his shack Pedro ordered his daughter-Lnlsa to make a light, and to emphasize the order be beat her with bis fist in the face. And Lulsa, being only a woman, made a great outcry. Then she got a big bundle of split bam boo and laid It upon the bed of coals In the center of the mill and fanned the bamboo Into a great flaming torch. Then old Pedro ordered her to dress his scratches nnd beat her In the face to Insure obedience. The blaze of the . torch fell upon Cross Dog's bnek so tlmt he was a fine mark for a Papircios Remington and blinded bis eyes so he could not see five paces Into the clear ing. And Lulsa's outcries deafened his ears to tlie secrets of the cnnefleld. For these reasons, nnd not because ho cared to Interfere with Pedro's meth ods of pnrentnl discipline. Cross Dog deliberately violated regulations and deserted his post He picked up a bundlo of dry, split bamboo and inarched througli tbe sug ar mill to Pedro's nipa ehack. Ho reached lu aud caught Unit disciple of Solomon by one ankle nud dragged him forth after the fashion of a plantation negro who -knows where the ebfekenz roost Aud Pedro howled, and Cross Dog swore, and 50 brown babies woke up and squalled, aud a hundred mon grel dogs barked. "Shure,", said Sevenspot, reporting the occurreuee to his lieutenant, who visited the hacienda tbe followiug day, "when I woke up I thought I were lu purgathory tho day nfther the' holo caust av an Insane asylum, a dog pound an nn orphan asylum. An Lu lsa there, th' ould divil Pedro's daugh ter, sat by while- Cross Dog larruped her dad an wept tears av joy an grati tude. I'm tliinkln 'twere tb' first tolme she Iver knew tb' ould bandit to get hie deserts. The other atnlgos say be has a brother an two sons with the Papir cios In tb' mountains." "If that's the case-," said tbe llcutcu ant, mounting his enrabno, "you need not bother to bolt him tbe next time be tries to come lu after taps. I don't want this detachment tb get cut up out of leniency to any native of doubtful antecedents." , When the detachment turned out for tholr chicory tbe morning after old Pe dro's chiictlwiiient. Ltrisa was waiting for them Willi a baklns powder cnD half full of 'arnbao milk for Cross Dog's coffee. The men squatted on the edge of a nucnr vnt nnd gnawed their hnrd'W'k and drank their bitter chlco- tled with bad temper, ami let' choked In the effort to estt drink and swear la tbe same liat-atl;. With pyes that beam ed wltb fratsude and admiration little Lulsa timidly presented ber oderlng of carabao wHk- Cross Dog glared at ber. -"Blink blank you,? : bo -growled, "what tbe blink blank do you want?" "SI, senor," said Lulsa, ducking" ob sequiously and holding tbe can so that Cross Dog could see Its contents. "Uucha gooda!" And Lulsa pointed first at the milk aud then to Cross Dog's cup. Tben Cross Dog comprehended and grabbed) tbe can and emptied It Into bis coffee. "I'll be Ulnk blanked," be growled, "If tbe blluk blanked rag didn't bring me some blink blank mllkT Lulxa listened like an attentive pnpiL Then, wltb a knowing air, sbe nodded her little bead, and, pointing into tbe empty can, she said: . "81, senor; I savey. Filipino, loob kat; Mellrana, dam milk. SI, I savey mocha M elk-ana poco tiempo." Cross tkit stopped In the middle of a gulp of coffee and stared at tia. little brown woman. "Well. I'll be blink blanked," he ex claimed, "If tbe blink blanked nigger ain't swearing at me In English !" HI, at. senor." the chirped, eoqrjet ttshly Jiftlng the yard of rccalk that served ber as petticoat and dress skTrt nnd exposing rather more than a peep of pretty bare ankle. "I savey. Scno rlta that mo In Espanol. Dam nigger that me Melicnnn. SI. I savey niucba Mcllcana poco tiempo." Cross Dog choked with Irritation. "Well, I'll bo blink blanked!" was all he could say. For a week thereafter Lulsa followed at Cross Dog's heels like a faithful dog, much 'to that Individual's outspo ken dlNgnst. And mcnnwhllo Lulsa's vocabulary of English became a. thing of beauty and a Joy forever to tbe sol diers; ,' Then- there came another Saturday night This time old Tedrp nnd Joso went to a village down tho rlvor to visit Juan, who had received much money from Senor Holljos. And they tarried late nnd drank a great denl of tuba and olso beno. Aud tho more they drank tbe braver they grew, until In tho dark hour Just before the dawn they laughed scornfully as they spoke of the white faced Americanos and snapped their Angers nt nil "Haltasr Then Juan and Jose sallied forth to sco Pedro home nnd belp him bid defiance to the American "Unit!" And to-ln-sure success they carried their shnrpest bolos. It was the early morning relief on guard. Cross Dog was ou post 2, at the down river end of the mill, aud tt always stirred his bile to have bis sleep broken Just before daylight Tbe air was chill and damp, aud Cross Dog shivered and cursed all creation by catalogue. Then ho stopped and lis tened. VT ho light breeze from the east never caused that rustle in ,the cano fleld." Again Cross Dog crouched on one knee aud threw tbe safety lock of bis Krag. A half naked native stepped out Into tbe clearing. Again Cross Dog waited to see tf he came alone. An other and another stepped out beside the first, and tbe three advanced crouching, with bolos In band. They mockingly echoed Cross Dog's chal lenge and came on, and then' the haci enda awoke to the music of "Wow rprp! TIck-tuck-tuck-tlckl Wow-rprpl Tlck-tuck-tuck-tlck! Wow-rprprp!" And this time Cross Dog's rifle bad done Its deadly work, ns three silent Kaklacks lying there lu tho gray morning testi fied. Six men in blue stood and looked down ut the slain. And then there was a . great uproar, and native men chattered, nnd native women shrieked, and native dogs barked, aud native ba bies howled. Only tho soldiers wore Bllent nnd grave ns they looked upon the dead, until .1 gray' haired little brown woman cnuie nnd knelt beside old, Pedro and sought to closo bis eyes nnd couiDoso his limbs. Then Cross Dog's eyes looked down to the ground, and he was ashamed of his handiwork, for tlie gray old woman wns old Pe dro's wife aud Lulsa's mother. It was while his eyelids were weighted down wltb Bhanie aud pity thut little Lulsa, pretty nnd coquettish, nestled up to his side and caressed his hairy, freckled fist and looked up at blm with smiling lips and eyes moist wltb lovellght. Pressing his hand over ber heart wltb both of hers, sbe said: "Me love you uiucba. You boom-boom madre (pofutiug to her mother), nnd we matri mony. Esta?" For In the outlying Islands of tbe Philippines, where tbe world Is topside down, the old folk pound out no rice and are tbe better for being killed. It was thus that Cross Dog won one woman's heart. But Sevenspot's proph ecy came true, for be cursed ber until his throat was sore and then exchanged with a soldier at Isabella to get out of , ber sight. And now, when some young soldier boasts of his success wltb the fair sex, Cross Dog blurts scornfully: "Blink blank It! I can take my Krag and 200 cartridges and go out and get enough women to start a harem. All you have to do to make 'em love you Is to kill their mothers aud fathers, blank ft!" New York Sun.

So far as we can learn from tho frag ments extant and the limited descrip tions of the eighteenth century pig, says the MaikLnne Express Almanuc, It must havo been very similar in form and character to tho Amcrlcau rail splitter, which Is said to be capable of passing with ease through the ledges of an ordinary gate or rail fence by merely turning Itself half over aud ne gotiating tlie obstacle sideways, or, as In some districts. It was of that coarse, heavy boned, ungainly form with which some of the older of your read ers who have traveled in tbe Fen and some other districts may be familiar. The greyhound typo was as equally well suited for tho performance of those scavenging duties which extend ed to the removal of various Inodorous morsels which our careless forefathers allowed to collect lu tbe larger villages or eveu towns as for the raiding of henroosts and the conversion Into pork of varying quality of the enormous quantities of acorns, beech mastsV etc, which were to be found in the numer ous forests, woods and unlnclosod grounds which were private or public property. Tbe Increase of population, the necessary sanitary regulations and the Ipclosure of these vast areas of woodland deprived tbe greyhound pig of its ralson d'etre. Tbe taste for meat somewhat more toothsome If slightly less savory than the three or four year old pork furnished by tbe gaunt deni zens of tbe forest, combined with the necessity for a less expensive meat making machine, when the materials for Its production had to be purchased or grown, led our forefathers to seek to improve tbe original pig. During tho first quarter of the cen tury, when farmers were struggling through a course of agricultural de pression quite as severe If not so long continued as the present generation of agriculturists have experienced, the pig of tho period appears to bave re- POLAND-CniSA BOAU. trograded rather than Improved In quality. The coarse, ungainly pig was general then. At a Inter period the Chinese and the Neapolitan pigs wers Introduced and taken up so keenly by fanciers and more wealthy landowners and farmers that soon after tho mid dle of the century our pigs had not only lost that extreme size and coarse ness whose loss was a gain, but the (Improvement was too great, and that a certain amount of size and quick growth, both dcslxable aud necessary, bad, like tbe lean meat In the pigs, been lost Tho fashionable pigs of that day bad become mere animated blad ders of lard, very pretty to look upon when their .curly hair bad been wash- ed and boiled, but or no practical use but for the furnishing of fat with which to fry fish. This crazo for short snouted, fat backed, obese specmens of tbe porclno world was Increased by our American cousins, wbo perhaps saw In them so marked a difference to tbe pigs In tbe States that they desired to possess something so totally dissim ilar to the pigs belonging to their friends and neighbors. To such a pitch had this fancy for roily poly pigs attained that tho complaints of our curcrs of hams and bacon were both lnml nnd ili'on.

SCROFULA AND ITS CUBED BV i Johnston's Sarsaparilla o QUART BOTTLES. A. MOST WONDKIiFUIj CTJRIC -k A Grand Old Lady Gives Her Experience. . Mrs. Thankful Orllla Hurd lives In tbe beautiful village of Brighton, Livingston Co., MIcb. This yenerable and highly respected lady Was bora la, the year 1812, the year of the great war. In Hebron, Washington Co, New , York. Sbe came to Michigan In 1840, tbe year of "Tippecanoe and Tyler 'too." - All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re tentive memory, ber mind is full of interesting reminiscences of her earl)! life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the interesting and re markable people she has met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit ness. But nothing In her varied and manifold recollections are more mar velous and worthy of attention than are her experiences In the use of JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd Inherited a tendency and pre disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has cursed and Is cursing the lives or thousands and marking thousands more as vic tims of tbe death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation, It 1 found In neary every family in one form or another. It may make its ap pearance In dreadful running sores, in unsightly swellings In the neck or goitre, or In eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the. mucous membrane. It may be known as catarrh In tbe head, or developing In tbe lungs It may be, and often Is, the prime cause or consumption. Speaking of ber case, Mrs. Hurd says: "I was troubled for many years with a bad, skin disease. My arms ana limbs would break out In a mass of sores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to swell and became very, unsightly In appearance. My body wns covered with scrofulous eruptions My eyes were also greatly Inflamed and weakened, end they pained me very; much. My blood was In a very bad condition and my bead ached severely at frequent Intervals, and I bad no appetite. I had sores also In my ears. I was In a miserable condition, I bad tried every remedy that hadibeen recom mended, and doctor after doctor bad failed. One of toe best physicians In the state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as internal abcesses were beginning to form, I nt length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and his famous Sarsaparilla. I tried a bottle, more as an experiment than any thing else, as I had no faith in It,, and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I began to grow better. You can be sure I kept on taking It I took a great many bottles. But I steadily Improved until I became entirely weH. All tbe sores healed up, all the bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health. Nana i nave never peen trouDied witn scrofula since. Of course an old lady) of 83 years is not a young woman, but I have bad remarkably good health) Since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA Is th greatest Mood puriaer and the best medicine In the wide world, both for scrofula and as a spring medicine." This remarkably Interesting old lady did) not tok to be more than sixty, and she repeated several times, "I believe mjl life was. saved by JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA." DXVCTGe. OOIXPAlnr, DBTHOIT. J.

Well, almost as critical a person was In one ot Balti more's shops one day. "I want a set of books this wide and this high," she said calmly, Indicating with ber bands about three-quarters and one-half a yard. "What author?" asked tbe salesman politely. "It doesn't make any difference about the author," answered madam. "My little daughter's bookcase Is entirely filled except a space tlie size I showed yon. I measured it myself this morn ing, and I want something to OU It" "If you could give some idea of tbe sort of books you would like, I am sure I could suit yon," said the poor clerk, knitting bis brow In a distressed fash ion.

The camel yields them milk, fre quently the only food of the natives, gives them meat and hides, facilitates transport from one place to another and forms tho means of exchange, which at any moment It Is possible to barter for other articles, thus taking tbe place of money. The Somalia also accommodate their existence to tbe wants of the camels. They go with the herd wherever pas ture Is best or where rain has recently fallen, and on this account one may frequently not find tbe trace of a vil lage where yesterday a place was full of life and people. Tbe camels, In fact carry away the village on their backs miles distant Such are the chief events In the life of a Somali. Everything Is governed according to some ancient unwritten 1st, not contained In any eodefl not dictated by any tribunal, but still sacredly observed and carried out for centuries throughout the whole region Inhabited br the Somalia. "Sportln Somaliiand," by Count Potockl. Joss as Floats. There are various things used as floats In fishing, from tbe pretty little painted floats of cork np to good sized Jugs, these last being used in Jugging for catfish In western rivers. The Jug nscd as a float Is tightly corked, and the rope or line that serves as a fish line is tied to tbe handle, tbe book at tbe other end, on tbe bottom being bated with a frog or other attractive morsel. The Jug may be nsed as a float for a single line, or two Jugs may be placed as floats, one at either end of trot line, from which a number of baited lines depend. A big catfish of tbe kind Dot uncom mon In western rivers, weighing SO or 100 or more pounds, would even make a Jug bounce lively In tbe water, and a comparatively small fish would give It motion, whereupon tbe fisherman, wbo might be on tbe bank waiting develop ments, would pnt off In his skill and take np the line.
