The Philippine Islands.

These islands have an area of ia
326 square miles and a population OF
9.50O,OO0. They are more than 1900
IN number and among the most fer
tile and productive in the world.
The important products are sugar
cane, cotton. tobacco, coffee, rice
wheat, indigo, cinnamon. and many
kinds of fruit, including oranges.
citrons, breadfruit, cocoanut, etc.
Immense forests spread over the is
lands, clothing the mountains to their
SUBMITS.
The Philippines were discovered in
1921 by Magellan, were annexed by
Spain 1860, and have been a part of
the Spanish dominion ever since.
They are an insular group, forming a
northern section of the archipelago
Manila has a population of nearly
100000 people. Rich as Cuba has

SPANISH STAMPS.
Ten Millions OF Them Have Just Been
Issued to Raise War 49,
Funds.

A San Antonio (Tex.) special says:
There was received in this city from the
City of Mexico, a consignment of $500
patriotic postage stamps" of Spain.
The consignee was jose II. De CASTELAR,,
Spanish resident of San Antonio and
native of the Canary islands. This
consignment OF stamps reveals gigan-
tic patriotic scheme Of loyal Spanish
subjects on the American continent to
raise fund of 100000 10 aid the Span
ish government in its war with the
Cuban insurgents. The scheme is to
issue 1O,GoO,U00 postage stamps five
cents face value in the money of the
country in which they are used. The
matter is in the hard; OF an executive
committee in the City of Mexico, and
the second issue Of 100000 stamps has
been turned out by a German litho-
graphing firm in the Mexican capital.
The stamps are sold for five cents apiece
to the Spaniards, and one stamp is
stuck on the sheets of every letter
written by the patriotic subjects. The
committee in the City of Mexico has
sold these stamps, ii is claimed, in large
quantities in the South ard Central
American republics, and many have
found their way to this country. Senior
Castelar, says that the lot which he re-
ceived is part of second million Of such
stamps issued. The stamp is of light
green color and bears this Inscription

arms: "5-1mpueSta Patriotica Espa-

THE BACHELOR GIRL.
She Keeps Herself Looking Well, and
IL Free from Alteration and
Grows Old Gracefully.

"She is wise in one respect, is this.
bachelor girl" Ruth Ashmore writes in
Ladies' Home Journal. "She has
learned the, art of gathering years
gracefully. She appreciates, as she
loses her youth, that she must pay more
regard to her appearance, and that in
life's picture she must always be a
figure that looks we'll. Here the bach
elor girl rises superior to the old maid,
for with all the old maids gentleness
she was bit inclined toward dowdi-
ness. The bachelor girl impresses you,
when you meet her, with her natural
ness. Perhaps, as you grow to know
her well, you may wish that her nat
ural manner did not tend toward
brusqueness; but ut least she is truth
full. She is woman of business, and
she is gradually learning that TO sue
coed, alike in business and in society,
she must follow the example of her
brother and not carry her workaday
worries or joys into her social life. She
must learn the art of being a grub or a
butterfly, as time and place demand.
She is fond of pleasure, and, being
healthy and happy, she is kind and
charitable"

The Tented Field.

Thursday the enlisted men who
have volunteered for the Nevada Sec
ond U. S. Volunteer Cavalry, went
into camp at the race track. Twenty
five tents are pitched in the protected
angle OF the sheds built for the rae
ing stock. 1t is very sheltered po-
sition and voted by the boys as just
the place for a camp.
There are 81 from Reno, % from
Virginia City and % from Elko. The
Carson volunteers have not yet gone
INTO camp, but remain at their homes
in this city awaiting orders. Adju-
tant General Galusha, who is a vet
eran of the Civil War, has charge of
the men and has already begun their
discipline. They were marched up in
line yesterday and given their blank
cts, and each one was given two
pairs. AS they were handed out Ga
lusha remarked that in quality and
thickness they were much superior to
tn ,se given Uncle Sans men in 1862.
Each man was also given canvas
tick and pillow to be filed with straw.
After they had received their empty
ticks they we're marched back to the
straw bales and amid good deal Of
hllarity. they fell upon the straw and
began making the beds they occupied
last night. There are % tents in two
lines and each tent is large enough
for four men.

COMMODORE DEWEY.

Commodore Dewey's report of his
great triumph in the harbor OF Ma.
nilla sets at rest all the fears and anx-
ieties OF the nation. His brief dis
patch, pregnant with meaning, sends
Joy to the heart Of every lover OF
liberty and adds new luster to the
glories Of the American navy. The
achievements of his gallant men in
the far. off harbor of Manila ON that
fatetul Sunday will stand us monu
ment through all future ages to the
daring and bravery Of the American
Sailor.
Dewey and his men have proved to
the world that the American sailor of
today has all OF the dash and bravery
of Paul Jones, Lawrence, Decatur,
Farragut and others whose deeds ON
the sea have illumiued the pages of
our country's history. Their spirit
animates the blue jackets of today
and nerves them to deeds of valor
and glory.
A few weeks ago the hero of Ma
nilla was comparatively unknown to
the American people. Now his name
is honored and revered throughout
the world and his fame is waited on
every breeze. Lovers of liberty
everywhere are chanting praises Of
the man who few short weeks ago
was only known as commander of the
Asiatic squadron of the American
navy. The great mass of his country
men knew but little about and moth
ing Of the rugged genius and splen-
did capabilities Of the man who was
to startle the world by the brilliancy
Of his achievements in the harbor of
Manila. The future historian will
write the name of Dewey high up on
the roll Of fame and there it will
stand until time shall be no moro.
