As l had brought the bells to town I didn’t know but what he'd hold me responsi¬ ble, and open out on me. About the middle of Ids sermon lie said some¬ thing about Jonah, and eleven of tiiose lu lls went 'I I n g!' on him iu sueees- ► ion.

Then it was because I learned that every blessed man who had rung up the min¬ ister wag seriously In earnest about it and fell It it sort of duly, and because that minister himself called at the house and am pled my own hell and rung It tip on mother within live miu. utes!” New York Sun. Gigantic Sea Wetd. “The largest plant In tho world,” said an eminent naturalist to the writer the other day, “Is probably a gi¬ gantic sen weed, known as the ‘nereo- cytis,’ which frequently grows to a height of more than 300 feet, Tlie stem of Ihe plant Is as strong ns nn ordinary rope and large quantities of It are dried and used as rope by the In¬ habitants of the South Sea Islands’, where the curious vegetable ropes are found. This sea weed usually grows at a depth of from 2(H) to 300 feet. As soon as the plant takes root, a pear- shaped balloon Is formed, which grows with the stem toward the surface of the center. Tills balloon frequently bus a diameter of six feet or more.

EXPLOSIVE BOMBS DISCOVERED -— Occasion of Lawton’s Funeral Was Selected For Dastardly Work. All Details Were Arranged. Philippine advices state that four explosive bombs, a few firearms and 500 rounds of ammunition were dis¬ covered in a house in the center of Manila (Sunday morning, while tho police were seeking Iteearte, the in- snrgont leader, who was said to have come to Manila in the hope of effecting an outbreak Saturday by taking ad- vantage of the mobilization of the Americau troops at General Lawton’s fitueral. It developed that the plot included tho throwing of bombs among tho for- eign consuls attending the ceremonies in order to bring about international complications. These, it seems, were to be thrown from tho Escolta’s high¬ est building, but the avoidance of the Escolta by tho funeral procession spoil¬ ed ‘he plan. Tho populace, it is thought, had boon prepared for tho attempt by a rumor circulated widely among the natives that Agniualdo was in Manila and would personally lead the out¬ break. Tho American authorities having been advised of what was brew¬ ing, prepared for all contingencies. Captain Morrison who commands the troops in the most turbulent dis¬ trict of the city, says he does not be¬ lieve an actual uprising will ever oc¬ cur, as the natives lack the resolution to take tbe first steps in a movement that would entail fightiug it close quarters with the American troops. An Am.rican advance in Cavite province, south of Manila, is expected shortly. Reliable reports frotp native spies show thpt there are upward of 2,000 organized insurgents under ami poRseRB * artillery. FILIPINOS rl>rv WELL w . TT INTRENCHED. At Novaleta the Filipino mtrench- . ments have been much strengthened since General Sohwan’s advance. A thousand of the enemy are in tho vicin- ity and there are COO at Ban Francisco de Malabo*. From twelve to a huh- di ed garrison all the towns in tho soutUern part of Cavite province and the same may be said of the towns in Ratangas province. The provinces of North Oamarines and South Camartnes hold quantities t*f hemp which tho people cannot market. As a conRequence the popu- hit ion in that part of Luzon in suffer- ing from lack of food. Bice now costs four times its normal price. It is estimated that 1,000 insur¬ gents are intrenched at Caiamoa. Life along tbe eoast of the provinces 0 f Cugabun and north and south Iloooa resuming norma) couditious. The American troops occupy tho import- ant towns and patrol the coun- try roads. The natives implora the Americans to continue the occupation, to estuldish a settled government and to terminate the uncertainty, abuses and confiscations that have character- j zed tl,o rule of tho Tagall revolution- iK , 8 d „ r i ug the last eighteen months. Vast amounts of tobacco, estimated to lie worth 82,000,000, are ready for the resumption of trade, bringing re- lief to communities greatly iu need of foocUtuffB. Many vessels have already been cleared from Banila for these ports. prisoners Incoming Spanish declare that. Aguinaldo has ordered the release of all Spaniards now in possession of the rebels. The mountain passes of Cayagau and the two Iloooa provinces nrc a till guarded, iu the hope of catch- ing the insurgent general, Tinio, who is still a fugitive. It is asserted that Licuteuaut Gilmore is in Tinio’s cl#- tody. LEARY IS A HUSTLER. American Govern >r of Guam Manage* AtYalvs With a Strong Hand. A naval officer who has arrived at Manila from Guam, lias iu his posses- sion a proclamation issued by Captain Leary, naval governor of that island, declaring the absolute prohibition aud total abolition of slavery or peonage, the order taking effect February ‘>2. The prologue of the proclamation declares that the system of Spanish peonage, amounting to slavery, is a menace to popular liberty and a viola- ,ion of tho P rivile K es guaranteed by tbe American constitution. Captain Leary also deported all the Spanish priests for sufficient reasons. INDORSED YY. J. BRYAN. Indiana Silver Men and Fopulint# Con- dcnin the Uepubllcan Policy.

Captain Lewis stated that on Thursday, when twenty- fivo north, one-quarter east of Dia- mond , ,,, Shoals lightship, off Cape „ Hat- ... teras, he passed the wreck of a largo three-masted schooner, and the ouly thing visible above tho water was the topmast, There were no signs of life about the , vessel , or wreckage floating and , the sea was too rough to permit his ship to go near the wreck. 1 lie size of the mast indicated a large sail ves- scl whose crew could not be less than ten men.

Here la the story of a Transvaal spy that illustrates the shrewdness and pertinacity which have made the Bo. r such a tactful and able enemy in the present war. It was Just before the jrecllon of the Johannesburg forls. The spy was ordered to report on the dc- fences of Chatham. While employed in collecting ma¬ terials he came upon a certain secret subterranean passage connecting Fort Pitt with—somewhere. He tried hard to find out where that “somewhere” might be, but without avail, Itumor said It was Fort Clarence. But Fort Clarence was then—and is now, for that matter—used as a provost prison, and access to its interior was strictly prohibited. walls One way of getting within the there was, and the spy took It. He com- mltted a somewhat serious offenco against military discipline, for which he was reduced to the ranks and im¬ prisoned. As he had foreseen, he was consigned to Fort Clarence. The provost sergeant in charge kept rabbits, which were shut up at night in a sort of underground passage that opened into the moat—at least, so the other prisoners affirmed. The spy in- gratiated himself with the warders, and after a week or two he was taken off shot drill, and promoted to the post of rabbit keeper In ordinary to the pro¬ vost sergeant aforesaid. He looked carefully and conscientiously after his four-footed charges. In fact, he spent the greater part of his time cleaning out and whitewashing their under¬ ground apartment, w ith the result that, on his release, lie was able to forward full plans and details to Pretoria, Watermelon Syrup. An enterprising Georgia farmer has become the pioneer iu a new industry; namely, making syrup out of water- melons. He cuts the melons in halves, scoops out tlie pulp, runs it through a cider mill, presses out the juice ami then bolls the liquid for twelve hours over a hot fire. Out of 270 melons, worth $0 to $0 at wholesale, he gets thirty gallons of syrup and markets the product at 50 cents per gallon.—Phila¬ delphia Record. Moi monism.
