Soon the dinner is well under way, and
the cook and his assistants are busy men.
In addition to the hot parts of the meal
there are to be taken from the chests and
served great loaVes of bread or hard tack
The bread problem is a serious one on a
march, or in camp, and away from the
cities. and while the cook often has to
prepare the corn bread or other cereal
himself, it is brought into camp already
prepared whenever possible. A company of
hundred men or more will eat a great
quantity of the staff of life in u week. and
hundreds of loaves are necessary.
There are other parts of the soldiers
meal to be fixed, if the company is near
civilization and provisions are plentiful.
Baked beans often appear on the bill Of
fare, dried fruit rice hominy and other
easily carried eatables, and to prepare all
these on one small stove and with only
two assistants is an art that only an army
cook understands.
When the meal is ready and the bugles
blow to mess, the soldiers arrange them
selves in an orderly manner, and the cook
and his assistants start out. First the soup
is Labeled out, then the more solid COM
ponentS OF the meal, than the coffee and
then the sweets, until all are supplied.
To such extent does cleanliness enter
into the preparation of the soldiers meal
that the greatest precautions are taken 10
exclude dirt. Carefully the pots and pans
are scrubbed brightly, the big knives and
utensils are polished and the refuse of the
cook tent is carried far off and dumped to
prevent the contagion that might arise
from decaying Stops. The officers are Wig
liant in keeping watch on the cook and his
assistants, the health of the camp may
depend on their careful cleanliness.
Each company has its cook and mess
except where great armies encamped;
then number of cook departments are
thrown together to work in unison. Uncle
Sam has all his cooking utensils made to
order, and chests are used TO pack every
thing in when on the march.

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES,
The Original Inhabitants Are Sup
posed to Have Been NegritOs.

The Original Inhabitants Are Sup
posed to Have Been NegritOs.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The original people Of the Philippines
are supposed to have been the darkroom
plexioned race known as -Negritos. from
their color. Through the Islands are scat
tered $4,000 of them. They are dwarfs,
with fiat noses. full lips and frizzly hair,
and they have little way with them of
smoking cigars with the burning end placed
inside their mouths. They are wandering
people, whom the Malays have driven to
the more inaccessible parts, from which
they descend to sell wax to the Chinese
traders in exchange for betel and tobacco;
and the dog is their only domestic animal.
The Malay tribes form the bulk Of the
population. varying among themselves in
physical appearances; and first place among
them must be accorded the Tagals. The
people OF this branch dwell near the water
in houses built on piles. and, though they
are Catholics, traces of their old faith and
customs abound. They have round heads,
high cheek bones, 1attish noses, low brows
and large dark eyes, and their favored
amusement Is cock fighting. As in Spain,
Mr.. Cock is armed with steel gaffs. They
have a written language antedating the ar
rival Of the Spaniards; an alphabet Of their

THROUGH ENGLISH GLASSES.
A Belief That Our Policy of NOn-In
reference is Ended.

Be1ef That Our Policy of NOn-ln-
reference is Ended.
From the London Spectator.
We think the Americans will keep the
Philippines, we hope they will most hearth
ly, and we show that they have the
means of doing so with little trouble to
themselves. We think they will keep them
because we think that the Americans will
emerge from this war with new ideas and
larger ambitions. They will have defeated
second-class European state and will feel
acutely that matters stand they would
have been defeated by a first-class one
They could not have fought France to say
nothing of Great Britain, without suffering
grave defeats at sea and enormous losses
by land. That is not position which suits
the American temper, and Washington will
therefore set itself to construct tirst-class
iron fleet. They do that at home with
twice the rapidity of the Japanese because
they have hundred times the Japanese
command of money, and they can man the
fleet when constructed by sweeping all the
shiftless boys of the union, as they are
doing already, into great naval schools, one
for each state. That fleet once built, the
desire for position In the world equal to
their position among nations, for islands as
coaling stations, for posts of vantage if
Europe threatens them, will induce, or in
deed compel them to give up their idea of
nOn-interventiOn, which already, as we see
has given way the moment their deeper
emotions are stirred. Already, before the
war has well begun. they are threatening
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pines, and as soon as it is over and the
fleet built they will open the Nicaragua
canal, claiming right of free passage
through it for their battle ships, and
change their Monroe doctrine into direct
and effective protectorate of the two
Americas. They will, We believe, from the
first hesitate to give UP the Philippines,
partly because the islands will provide adj
mirable stations for their fleet but chiefly
because they are determined that China,
which is their biggest natural foreign mar
ket, shall not be closed to their trade.
They must be ready to strike. if need be,
on the Chinese coast, and to strike hard,
and seeing that, they will not give up is
lands which offer them impregnable de-
lenses for their dockyards their coal
vaults. and their aIsenals. To retain them
is, of course to give up their traditional
policy of non-interference in the politics of
the world: but confess we have not
much faith in self-denying policies of that
kind. To shake down ancient European
throne is surely interference with Europe
of a definite kind, and they are doing that
already.

own OF sixteen letters, a passion for music
and the drama, and a wonderful collection
of native lyric poetry.
Another Malay tribe, the Visyas. the
Spaniards In the fifteenth century christen-
ed the Pintados, or Painted Cues"
The 1gorrotes are the wild tribes of the
philippines. the name being loosely given
to all the pagan mountain tribes of Euzon.
They differ from the Malay tribes, showing
what looks to be traces of Chinese or Jap
anese admixture. They are industrious
agrculturists. skillfully laying out their
fields on the mountain sides and irrigating
them with artificial canals, in addition to
their fine work on metals.
So those of us who have labored under
tha delusion that the Industries of the ma
tives were confined to making Manila hats
mats, rope and paper may enlarge our
views. The native hat, by the way, is of
woven cane or straw, butterboat shape,
hemi spherical If you prefer, with a frame
inside.

Hardtack Then and Now,

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The "hardtack" which is being supplied
to our volunteers-some of it, at leas,-is
different article from the great round
wheaton slabs which fed our armies dur
ing the war of the rebellion. That supplied
to the regiments now in camp is made in
little obiong bits about the size OF an oys-
ter cracker, but square-cornered. Thus the
soldier is not obliged to imperil his teeth
as OF yore In biting from the ''slab," or il
bis teeth are poor, to dip it in his coffee be-
fore getting mouthful Baked in this
modern way II is more friable and easier
TO chew. But it will no longer servo as a
platter on which II was the pride OF tho
old campaigner to be able to cut his meat
with his jacknife without demolishing the
dish. 1t is sweet and wholesome and Is put
up In pound packages Of shape convenient
for the haversack.
