groups, making total of four or five
hundped islands.
Among the products Of the country
are riceT corn, wheat, sugar, cotton,
tobacco, indigo, bread fruit, castor
oil and kindred necessaries of life.
Among the curious natural features
are the palm trees, that produce vege-
table ivory; banyan trees that grow
downward, the seeds being planted
by birds high up in other trees, de-
posted in bark and crevices, sending
down rootlets to gather sustenance
and moisture from the soil.
Another tree bears fruit so Often
sive in odor that no man not in pi &C
T, tice can endure it, but once in a
mouth the fruit tastes so deliciously
that he cannot stop eating until it is
devoured.
The women OF the Carolines are neat
and attractive ut home or among their
cocoanut trees. The men are indus
trious-everywhere displaying ingen-
uity and gentle thrift.
The Caroline Archipelago consists
OF thirty-six minor groups, of which
the nine following are the principal
The Palaos or Pelews, Yap, Uluthi,
Uleai, Namonuito, Hogolen or Ruk,
the East and West Mortlocks, Bonabe
or Ponape, and Kusaie, otherwise
called Ualan or rStrong's Island.
The Pelew group contains some 2OC
islands and islets. The principal isl,
and is Bad-el-Thaob, which in area is
equal to oil the rest put together. The
most important of the others are Kor
ror, Uruh, lapel, Malk, Peleleu and
Angaur. The population of the Pc
lcws is estimated at some 5000, but is
probably much more. The language

the capital, is also a convict settle
ment. 1t is beautifully clean, and
possesses good government officials, q
hospital, schools and church. The
Spanish residents have usually num-
bered about twenty, and the regular
soldiery about 200, all quartered here.
The militia, comprising about all the
male population. is commanded by
native officers. The civil government
is similar to that of the Philippines.
Postal communication has been quar-
terly.
When first discovered the Ladrones
had population of about 10000.
Not one of the original race survives,
and the islands are peopled chiefly by
Tagals and Bisayans from the Philip
pines, mixed descendants of South
American Indians, colony Of Caro-
line Islanders who founded Garapan
in the Island of Saipan, and numerous
Chamorro-S Spanish half-breeds. The
census Of 1888 reports a population of
6476 in Agana, and total Of 10, 172
in all the islands, 5034 being males
513S females. There are eighteen
schools in the Island Of Guam. Only
ten per cent. of the Ladrone Islanders
are unable to read and write. Spanish
is the recognized language; but many
of the natives speak little English.
The climate is good and equable; sew
enty degrees to eighty degrees
Fahrenheit is the range of the ther-
mometer.
The present population are de-
scribed rs "wanting in energy, of IN
different moral character, and miser-
ably poor" They are descended in
part from the original inhabitants,
called Chamonos, and from the Mesti-
zos, mixed race formed by the union
of Spaniards with these natives.
On the island called Suypan colony
from the Caroline Islands, which lie to
the south of the Ladrones, was estab-
lished some years ago. These people
are the most active and enterprising
inhabitants of the Ladrones.
Spain has derived no revenue from
these islands, and has done little to
civilize the people. At one time a
few small schools were started, but
they were soon abandoned.
In 1856 an epidemic destroyed one
third of the population.
August and September are the hot
test months, and the rainfall in the
summer months is very heavy.
Agana, the capital. is we'll built of
timber, and many of the houses have
tiled roofs. There are twenty small
villages on the islands.
So little has been done to civilize
the people that they live in about the
same primitive fashion rs character
lied them when Europeans first visited
them.

. Household Hints.


A baOket kept on swinging shelf
Is the proper receptacle for eggs.
Keep potatoes and all root vegeta-
bles in box or bin in dry cellar.
Cranberries may be kept for months
in crooks or jars and covered with wa
ter.
Cold vegetables and the like must
be covered if not kept in wired cup
board.
Milk should be as far as possible
separated from other food and kept
clear and cool.
Freshly made tea and coffee stains
may be removed by at once stretching
the part over bowl, aud slowly pour
ing boiling water through it.
In preserving berries or any other
fruit liable to fall to pieces, il small
lump of alum is added to the fruit
while cooking, it will make it firm. ,
Raw potato with bathbrick will
remove stains from steel knives and
forks, and stains can also be taken
out of tinware and brass in the same
way.
Two tablespoonfuls of washing soda
dissolved in gallon of boiling water
makes an excellent disinfectant for
the kitchen sink. Pour in while boil
ing hot.
An efectual way of getting rid OF
cockroaches is to place slices of Gu
cumber over the floor they frequent
at night. They devour this greedily,
and it destroys them.
In making jelly it must be borne in
mind that the less stirring there is
the better. If stirred too much the
jelly is not clear, while the tendency
of sugar to granulate is increased by
stirring.

TRADE REVIEW.

disaster, or exhaustion of national re-
sources, and nobody feared that any

turn. Money markets show no sign OF
possible disturbance, securities are
stronger. and there Is no harmful spe-
culation In stocks or products Rare

The general holding back Of grain by
farmers and consequent heavy shrink

the visible supply below all past rec

bars are stronger, with many mills
engaged for weeks ahead. illustrate
ing the demand are reports of orders

and big orders at Philadelphia for

Eastern works now appear to be

the western have been for some weeks.

feats which seem almost supernatural.
However, it remained for Mr.. Will H.
Barnes, of Sioux City, Iowa, to train
an animal which was generally con-
sidered to be the dullest of quad
rupeds, namely, the elk. His efforts
have proved beyond q doubt that the
elk is by no means lacking in in
telligence, and his famous diving elks
elicit admiration and wonder from all
who see them perform. Mr.. Barnes
secured the elks when they were
young, and though it required un-
limited patience. he finally succeeded
in breaking them in harness. While
training the elks, the owner noticed
that they seemed utterly Indifferent
to what height they jumped from, and
he then conceived the idea of teaching
them to dive. The process was a
slow one, but now, after two years of
labor. they have attained marvellous
degree of ability in this feat, as they
make headlong plunge of fifty feet
into a tank of water. Herewith is
presented cut representing the elk
making the dive. As will be noticed,
the animal makes headlong plunge
with his feet extended.

Gobien, the French writer, who
studies the people on the spot, says of
them:
'"The natives are not so dark as
those of the Philippines, and are larger

They lived on roots, fish ana fruits,
and were extremely active and quick.
Many of them lived over 100 years. "

The women are usually lighter in

are extremely beautiful, with luxuriant
hair reaching almost to the ground.
The Carolines are like the Ladrones,
only more extensive in number and
area, and densely populated. The
islands are widely scattered into three
great groups, the eastern, western and
central. Spain originally claimed all
the groups, but Germany recently
took the Marshall Islands. The CEN

are turtle shell, copra and bechc dc
mer (Holothuria), which in the Chin
ese markets brings rs much as S4OO
gold per ton.
There is always civil war going on
in the group between the various
tribes, and firm hand is needed to
keep things in order there. Captain
Butran, of the Velasco lately sunk at
Manila), who visited the group in 1885,
gives these natives good name. Cap
tain O'Keefe, however, n wealthy
trader of zap, gives them doubtful
reputation, putting them down as q

ter.
The enormous quartz wheels, the
famous and curious stone money of
zap in this group, were quarried in the
Island of Kokial. In olden time there
was great commercial activity here,
and the zap and Pelew folks went on
extended voyages of trading and con-
quest. Babel -Thaob is rich in good
timber. Great quantities of yams,
bread-fruits and cocoanuts are grown.
Alligators are found in some of the
creeks, and peculiar kind of horned
frog, There are two kinds of snakes,
which the natives called Bersoiok and
Nguus, both somewhat venomous.
There is abundance of good pasture
for horses and cattle. Goats are plen-
tiful, probably introduced by the early
Malayan settlers.
The Spanish have done next to moth
ing to show their occupation, and
everything goes on much as before.
There is no Spanish garrison. The
country is well worth opening up to
honest and energetic trade.

THE LADRONES
AND CAROLINES.
Value and Beauty Of These Much-Discussed Islands
in the Pacific Ocean.
A QUEER PEOPLE WITH QUEEREn CUSTOMS.

Fur out in the Pacific, where the
map looks rs IL charge of bird shot
had peppered spot no larger than
your thumb, the American flag is
flying over the Ladrones. They are
but specks on the face of the deep.
Yet there is an empire of island wealth
amid the rnrest scenery in the world.
An earthly paradise IT is called.
The capture of the Ladrones by the
United States with seizure of the
Carolines just to the south of, the
group makes them of new interest to
Americans.
The Ladrones are chain Of vol
canic islands extending north and
south from latitude thirteen degrees
twelve minutes north to latitude
twenty degrees thirty-two minutes
south and in longitude about lag east.
They were discovered by Magellan,
March 6, 1921, and named Ladrones
from the supposed stealing propensi-
ties Of the natives, Later, in 1868, the
islands were named Mariana, in honor
of Maria Anne, Of Austria, the widow
OF Phillip w., King of Spain. The
inhabited islands are Agrigan, Saipan,
Tinian, Rota and Guam. On the
other islands are volcanoes spouting
fire and steam. The mountains range
from 1000 to 5000 feet high, about
the altitude Of the biggest Of the
Catskills.
The Spaniards have controlled the
islands without interference or seri-
GUS trouble from the natives. There
is small garrison at Agana, the cap
ital, where the Governor General has
resided. Many natives of the Caro-
l4ne Islands have been imported into
the Ladrones and the races are inter-
estingly mixed. The blending of the
