THE DAILY

BOOK ON THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

A new book on the Philippine Islands is announced bv the Continental Publish- ing Co., 25 Park Place, New York. The author is Ramou Reyes La!a,a native of Mania. Advance sheets show that it pre- sen's a fascinating description of that re- markable country and its resources, with an accurate aod interesting history of the Spanish discovery and dominion, as well as the recent American conquerors and their occupation. This work is a trust- wortLy accountof the many points of interest througbout the islands. It /is full of information concerning plants and animals and the wonderful varied agricultural and mineral cre-our es of this Paradise of the

—The returns for two-thirds of the seats in the Legislature of Toronto have

—(Oitawa correspondents of the Minis- terial papers are prep-ring}the’public mind for the reimposition of @ tax on tea, Notice the reasons given by the govern-~ ment organs for the proposed new tax : “T*e growth of public expenditure has made it necessary that the administration should dev'ee meacs of raising additional taxation. During the lasttwo years the ordinary expenditure bas gone on by a couple of millions arnualiy, while the capital outlay has been auginé nted atthe rate of four or five millicas.” This state- ment is as true as it is frank.

—The Montreal Witness tries to excuse Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s treatment of the Spanish gentlemen expelled from Canada on the plenas he acted as he did at the desire of the British government. The Witness dees not show that Sir Wilfrid entered any protest against the action of tha Imperial authorities. But It rays: “We much regret that any appearance of hospitality towards foreign sojourners should be necessary onour frontier.

Washington, D. C., July 12.—Major- General J R Brooke will be in command ofthe army that will soon invade Porte Rico. General Miles will exercise supers vision in asense similar to that in which be now exercises supervision before Santiago.

There will be no less than 25,000 United States troops, no less than 10,600 of whom will be regulars. With the fall of Santia- go, the men will have a brief rest and will then move onto Porto Rico.

WE BUILD THE LADDER.

---—

Heaven is not reached at a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we

rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to the summit round by round.

I connt this thing to be grandly true, That « noble deed is a step toward God, Lifting tue soul from the common sod To a purer air and # broaer view,

We rise by the things that are under our feet,

By what we have mastered of greed and geio

By the pride deposed and the passion tlain,

Aud the vanquished ills that we hourly meet.

We hope, we aspire, we resolve. we trust,

Wien the morning calls us io life and lizht;

Bat our hearts grow weary, and ere tue night,

Qur lives are trailing in sordid dust.

We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we pray, And we thiok that we wouat the air ou wings, Beyond the recall of sensuai things, While our feet still cling to the beavy clay.

Wings for the angels, but feet for the men, We may borrow the wings to find the

way, We may hope and aspire and resolve and pray,

But our feet must rise or we'll fall agein.

Only in dreams is a ladder thrown From the weary earth te the ,sappbire

walls : Butthe dreams depart and the vision falls, Avd the sleeper wakes ov his pillow of stoue

Heaven is not reached ata sing'e bound, But we build the ledder by which we rise From the rkies, And we mount to the summit round by rouud.

A CARDNAL'S STORIES.

“T'm afraid I can't tell you,’’ an- ewered Cardinal Wiseman on some one asking the names of several choice plants on the table. ‘‘I am often as much puzzled by botanical nomencla- ture as the old lady who said sbe couldn’t remember all the old Latin names. The only two she had been able to retain were aurora borealis and de- lirium tremens.’

The cardina) thoroughly enjoyed hu-

| morous stories and often told them at |

his table. ‘‘I have seen Father Faber,’’ writes the author of ‘Social Hours With Celebrities,’’ ‘‘at the cardinal’s table, laugh till the tears rolled down his face.”’

A story which the cardinal enjoyed much was that of an Irishman, who, while taking a barge up the Shannon, was asked what goods he had on board, and answered, ‘‘Timber and fruit.’’

‘‘What kind of timber and what sort of fruit?’’

“Well, an if ye must know, the tim- ber is just birch brooms, and the fruit, well, it’s pretaties.”’

An Irishman averred that the habit of Irish landlords of living outside of Ireland was the great grievance Ireland had to complain of.

“Oh, yes, ’’ answered an Englishman, “that’s the old stalking horse. I don’t believe in your absertees. ’’

‘*Not belave in ‘em! Come to Dublin

with me, and I'll show ye ‘em by the hundred. Why, thecountry jest swarms with ’em.”’

Vhy Elephants fear Ntice.

It seems incredible that so small end hermiless an animal as a meuse is alle to frighten an elephant almost out of his senses. One little mouse in the hay on which they are feeding will stam- pede an entire herd. In their native land there ore little animals, known «s chacanas. which feed on a small, sour berry cf which elephants are very fond.

They live in ttlements, something after the manner of prairie dogs, under the heres bile S.

When feeding, the elephants tremple the little towns, and the chacanas, in their fright, run up the tubescf the ele- phants’ trunks. Their long, sharp claws catch in the flesh, and they cannot be cjected. The more violently the mon- ster blows through its coiled trunk the more firmly me hoeciied claws cf the lit- tle animal become imbedded in the flesh. hudeanaeiiidks and death are the result In captivity the elephants think they ere in Canger cf the deadly chacanas when they see & clovse. =New York Sun
