I have been noting evidence when 1t chanced to come before me, but 1t will be better to use the statements of au- thoritfes here. pr. Junker tells how a courier in the Soudan crawled Into camp with his stomach laid open, ha.v- ing been attacked when asleep. A com- rade replaced the contents and bound him up. ''To my great surprise the wound was almost completely healed in a few days" Carl Box saw Malay with a piece of his skull cut or-the brain was bare. They tied on the frag- ment with a dressing of serpents' fat. and ''in three weeks he was all right; a European would have been three years or more, if he had lived" similar case was attested by Bisho0 McDougall. MD. After an action with pirates one of them was brought on board with the top of his head sliced off, adhering only by a morSel or Skln. The Bishop lifted 1t and made brIef but interesting observation Of the brain; it did not seem worth While to treat hopeless case when there were so many wounded. At the evening meal however, he saw this man eating rice among the crew, with a bit ot rag to hold his skull together. In few days the skin had joined all round.
 The Rev Mr. Pritchard, to whom anthropelogy and folklore owe so much, declared that wounds Wnlcn III a white man would quickly bring on inflammation and even modification in these Samoans are healed by simple daily bathings and cleanliness. A youth was shot through the chest near his dwelling "As he breathed the air seemed to come from the wound" But fin ten weeks he was as we'll as ever he was" The good man did not under stand this at all; it cannot be said that we understand now, but wide experi- euce has taught us that 1t is the rule with savages. Of the Soudanese Sir Charles Wilson wrote: "These negroes are really like bits of indiarubber. It is perfectly extraordinary to see how they bear wounds and how rapidly they heal up'' And Captain Younghusband wrote in Chitral: There is no doubt Asiatics stand wounds inflicted by a sword or bullet infinitely better than Europeans. A wound that would kill a European, or at any rate lay him up for months, affects these hardy and ab- stemious mountaineers in very much less severe manner. Imagine having the whole lock of an exploded gun blown into ones shoulder and going about as if nothing had happened. Such lock was cut out by our surgeons several months after. They report mar vicious cases of recovery" etc.
 Health, strength and long life are some of the eompensations of savagery. Pail Mall Gazette.

Aguinaldo Compelling Spain to
 Make Good"

It will be remembered that Aguinaldo treated with the Spanish at his mountain stronghold. Biacnabato. in the province of BuIacan, north of Manila, on December 14, 1897. and arranged with the authorities to retire from the conflict on the payment of large sum of money. The sum agreed upon has often been asserted to be $4oo 900, but prominent member of the revolutionary government recently as- sured me that the sum promised was s600,O00, of which Aguinaldo received through bankers in Hongkong s2O0,- 900, and has never been paid the balance. The fact that certain reforms which Aguinaldo declared to have been pror1is- ed were not carried out gave him a plau- sible excuse to take up arms again. and. to judge from his actions since he began the new enterprise. he has not lost sight of the opportunity of recovering from the Spanish in one way or another the sum still due him. The same official who gave me the information about the money added that whenever a Spanish officer came to treat with Aguinaldo during the siege he was met by the question, Did you bring me that s4Oo. .000?'' The reply was naturally in the negative. and the emissary was unceremoniously dismissed. Manila Letter to the London Times.
