THIS was the sage remark of an old
Boston merchant: "rve stood here on
State street for forty years, and have
seen men accumulate fortunes by spec
ulation and I've seen these fortunes
disappear. have seen men go up in
worldly wealth and go down, and I've
always noticed that those persons who
were content with slow gains and six
per cent. interest came out ahead in
the long run"

Manila, whose inhabitants are reported
TO have lied in terror TO the fields. is the
capital OF Luzon, and of all the Philip
pines. The destruction of property and
lie from physical commotions is COM
mon there, and has been for generations.
In recent times there have been various
calamities. In 1924 an earthquake de
stroyed hundreds OF buildings. the ship
ping in the harbor. and thousands of
lives. In 1863 the cathedral and all the
churches were thrown down. with any
number OF houses, and 1000 or 5000
persons were killed. Five years since q
violent hurricane prostrated nearly 6, 900
dwellings, and caused the death of sew
eral hundred inhabitants. People who
love excitement are plentifully gratified
there, as there is always movement In
Sanila, generally OF the earth. The
group is occupied by two distinct races.

OF the interior of Papua; and, IS they
live in the mountains, they are thought
TO be aborigines, driven back by the
former race The Malays. divided into
the Tagals and Bisayers, dwell In
cities and on cultivated lowlands, and
are either Roman Catholics (conyertsl
or Mohammedans. The negrilos are
many of them idolaters, though mostof
them are nomadic, and without any
creed. The Mestizos, mainly the pro-
duct OF Chinese fathers and native
mothers, are an important part of the
population, monopolIzing by their en-
ergy and industry most of the trade.
The Chinese proper follow various call
ings, and generally prosper, returning
home when they have made money. and
never taking their wives with them.
which Is the chief cause of the Mestizos.
There are many large and important
cities in the group, Manila, the largest,
having 240, 900 people. The islands were
discovered (l52D lby Magellan, who.
after visiting Mindanao. sailed to Zebu,
where, siding with the native king in .
war, be was mortally wounded, and
died at Mactan. Spain sent, some years
later, an expedition thither, under Vii
laboa, who named the islands after the
Prince of Asturias, subsequently Philip
III. The sole ports in the archipelago
open TO foreign vessels are Manila, Zebu,

Story Of n Wonderful Cure.

The papers have been commenting on
the " summer stories published in diff
ferent parts of the country, but the fol-
lowing from the Catholic Mirror, pub
lished at Baltimore, eciipses anything
that has yet appeared: Mr.. James Pat
terson, OF this city, has little daughter
Katie, who Is now nearly ten years old.
Some five years ago she began 10 have n
slight occasional pain in one of her
knees, which became n trifie enlarged.
and her parents took her to one of the
leading physicians of Baltimore, who
made light of the trouble, and gave
some medicines that did the child no
good. The enlargement increased, and
when the father took her to another
doctor, who also stands high in his pro-
fession, he pronounced IL n case of white
swelling. and he treated her for IL. But
he did not succeed in curing her.
Finally, she was placed in the care of an
eminent surgeon, who has since died.
He, too, failed. The swelling re-
mained, and the tendons Of the leg
got drawn up so that the child
could not put her foot down flag
on tho ground. Her father had great
faith In the apparitions at Knock. He
wrote to Ireland tos some friends for some
of the mortar from the chapel there, but
before II arrived an acquaintance gave
him about tablespoonful OF waterHin
which some of the mortar had been
dissolved. That was about two months
ago. The same evening he took the
child In his lap, rubbed some of the
water on her knee In the sign of the
cross, saying some prayers at the same
time, and then gave her the rest of the
water to drink. He then went to his
work as watchman, and when he re-
turned home the next morning he was
met BY his daughter. who greeted him
with the words: Papa, my knee II as
well as ever Il was" And sure enough
the swelling had disappeared. the sinews
had grown soft, and the little girl could
walk - well with one foot - with The
other. The cure is perfect. Since thai
day there has been no pain. and Il 1

Brick Tea.

In a recent report on the trade OF Kin
Kiang. China, some interesting facts are
given in regard to the manufacture of
and traffic in product known as "brick
tea" The quantity of this kind Of tea
exported from Kin Kiang during one
year has amounted to 65l 1888 pounds.
There are three kinds of brick tea made.
The first, or largest kind, Is . cake of
coarse green tea, which weighs, when
thoroughly dried, about three and one
half pounds, and is about one foot long
by seven inches wide. These cakes are
made in n wooden mold while wet, and
compressed by a lever press and after
ward dried. This is all done by hand
labor, and affords employment to large
number of coolies. When dried, each
cake Is wrapped in paper and packed in
strong baskets, each containing thirty
six cakes. The cost of this tea per bas-
ket Is about s6.75, and the annual ex-
portation amounts TO from 1900 to
10000 baskets. The tea is sent from
Kin Kiang to Tientsin, from whence 1t
goes overland through Mongolia for
consumption among the inhabitants of
West and Northwest Siberia, in the
province Of khZaD, on the Volga, and
by the Kirghis and other Seutas tribes.

much commoner quality, costing about
s5.25, made by the Chinese at Yang-lon-
tung, in Hupeh, Is largely consumed IN
Mongolia. There being no copper cur
rency in that country the Chinese bank
ers in Mongolia keep stores of this brick
taa and issue 1t as n monetary medium.
The second kind of brick tea is OF q
finer quality. each cake weighing one
and one-half pound, and being eight and
one-quarter inches long by FIVE and one
quarter inches wide. 1t Is packed in
baskets, ,eachlcontaining eighty or ninety.
and costs about ss.25 per basket. This
kind Is consumed in West and South
west Siberia, at Kazan, and on the
Ameor.
The third kind of brick tea is made of
black tea dust, each cake weighing two
and one-quarter pounds, and being eight
and one-half inches long by six inches
wide. IL is packed In baskets contain
ing sixty-iour cakes each, and costs
- per basket. Ii Is consumed through
out Siberia and in Eastern European
Russia by the peasantry. II is made
into cakes at Foochow, Kin Kang and
iiangkow. The yearly expectation from
the three places Is about 100, 0O0 baskets
1t Is stated that at Hangkow there are
now four brick tea factories, two OF
which employ steam power. The en-
ployment of steam instead of hand
presses will ultimately cheaper the cost
OF production, and at the same time a
more satisfactory article will be placed
on the market. Brick tea made in the
old manner was not pressed sufficiently
hard TO enable IL to successfully resist
the rough treatment ii received en- route
and frequently reached its destination
in broken and crumbling condition.
which detracted from its value. buyers

ness and perfection.
