Dainty light refreshments were served
by the hostess. The social half hour
following led to the appointment Of the
following committee selected from the
different clubs looking to the formation
of q district federation: Mrs. Pollock.
Cosy; Mrs. Tracy. Friends in Council;
Blanch Roberts, Young Ladies' club.
The committee was instructed to CORE
spond with other clubs in the distriIt
with respect to the proposed federation.
The meeting was the most suspicious
OF the season in club circles, and will
long be remembered by the participants.
The meeting which foil owed the Ledi-
cation, last October, OF the new building
in Buffalo Of the Woman's Educational
and Industrial Union, is likely to have
most important and far reaching results.
At this meeting the question Of the val
ne Of q federation Of the educational and
industrial unions OF the world was dis
Guessed before tine company then assembl-
Cd. The report OF the committee was
that federation OF unions would be of
value everywhere. that each member of
the com nittee would present the ques-
ton suggestive to the respective unions.
and that the secretary, Mrs. Young Of
Boston. would write to the twelve unions
in representation at the conference, and
that their answers would be presented
and discussed at the annual meeting Of
the parent union in Boston in May, 1898.
The questions we're promptly formulated

NEW STYLE GUNS.
Twenty-Five Five-Inch anA Twenty,
Five AAx-Inch Guns or Brown
Pattern Ordered.

Contrary to the recommendation Of
Gen. Flagler, chief Of ordnance, secre-
tary Alger has made contract for 80
ct the newly invented Brown seq
mental guns" which will cost $200, 900.
The Brown gun differs materially In
its construction from the ordinary
guns used by the army. The central
part consists Of block of steel which
il rifled, around which are built iongi-
tudnal segments Of solid wrapped
wire. 1t Is claimed by the inventor
that this construction gives greater
endurance to the gun than II It con-
risted of solid steel rings built out
from the rifed portion.
The Brown gun has, during the last
year, received several severe tests,
and, according to Gen. Alger, It has
proven itself an unqualified success.
Gen. Flagler. however, In his annual
report to the secretary opposed the
adoption Of the gun upon the ground
that It in NO way improved upon de
ordinary method Of construction.
Notwithstanding this opposition on
.he part Of the. chief Of ordnance gec-
retary Alger has ordered % hve-ineh
and Is six-inch guns made after the
plan ofthe Brown gua.

are very few large plantations, and
nearly all the agricultural productions
of the islands are the result Of small
farming by the natives and Chinese
coolies. The Chinese trader is the
'middleman" who gathers the small
lots together, puts them in marketable
shape by baling and boxing, and ships
them to the nearest post, disposing to
the exporter and wholesale dealer.
The small degree of prosperity the
country has heretofore enjoyed has
been entirely due to the push" and en-
ergy Of the Chinaman. Many years ago
the Spanish became jealous of the Chi
nese. who were becoming immensely
wealthy and influential, in spite of the
heavy taxes thvy were forced to pay.
and they were banished from all the
islands and made to return to China.
The Spanish officials soon realized that
they had made bad blunder, for the
native, left without the necessary spur
and stimulation of the Chinese trader,
produced only enough for their imme-
diate wants, and left nothing for the
tax gatherer. They found that they
had skilled the goose that laid the
golden egg," and that the despised Ce-
lestial was a necessary evil, and they
were obliged to allow the Chinese, not
only to return, but extra inducements
in the way of concessions and monop-
oHes, since which time they have had
full sway, and have become power in
the land.
The native is by nature improvident
and easy-going. He is utterly lacking
In those characteristics of economy,
thrift and acq,isitiveness that are in
born traits Of the Chinese race, and the
result has been that the native has seen
all of his best lands slowly but surely
absorbed by his shrewd neighhors with
the pig-tail.
The fiber industry is capable Of great
expansion, and by the introduction Of
Improved methods Of cultivation and
manufacture can be produced in ,enor-
nous quantities and at reduced price.
The same can be said of the sugar in
du4try. The policy of the Spaniard, has
heen ono OF repression. They have
done all In their power 10 keep the
hated foreigner from the land; they
have discouraged and discountenanced
all innovations, and the introduction Of
labor-saving machinery. They have
adopted the most autocratic methods to
prevent an outsider from getting q
foothold, and when one succeeded in
getting in and prospering, they invari-
ably found some means Of making it
so uncomfortable for him that he usu-
ally left the country in disgust.
One Of the most important natural
productions that abounds in all Of the
hundreds Of Islands Of the archipelago
are the immense virgin forests Of hard
wood timbcrs. There are at least so
different kinds. among them many that
are found in no other part Of the world.
I noticed three kinds that were equal to
ebony In hardness, and Of most ex-
traordinary colors. One was Of deep
orange yellow, one dark olivs green,
and one light ruby red. They were all

as one-fourth of a cent. The reason
for this is that most of the articles of
everyday use among the natives cost
less than one cent, and the cost of the
raw material for an ordinary native
family would not exceed six cents a
day.
All the supplies for the day are Sc
cured early in the morning, and they
never think Of laying in a supply of
anything, but all articles used to pre-
pare the meals are purchased from
day to day. 1t is customary among
the foreigners who live there to let
the contract for their meals to ''pro-
vidore," man who would be called
the butler here. He gets a stated price
Ter meal, or in some cases per dish.
BY this system one avoids the trouble
of marketing and looking after the
cook, as well as being insured against
dishonest servants. The providore
/ simply takes charge of your house, re-
lievihg you from all responsibility, and
you are his guest in your own home.
One good feature of this plan is that
you know to certainty what your
household expenses are. 1t is often
| the case where a half dozen young
men club together and rent "bunga-
low" to secure the services of pro-
v.dore and live in home like comfort.
In no other land can one live SO cheap.
Taken all in all, in spite of the in
tense heat and humidity. the immense
amount of rain at certain times Of
Year and the discomforts and annoy
ance of the little red ant, and the mu-
sicai mosquito, all the year round,
there are many worse countries on
the face of the globe, and very few
that present SO many charms, and
none that have such enormous future
commercial possibilities as the Philip
pines. j. B. GAYLORD.
