The Tradition of ST. Patrick
and the Serpent.

According TO tradition, st. Patrick
freed Ireland of its vermin lone old
serpent resisted, but St. Patrick
overcame it by cunning. He made
a box and invited the serpent to en-
ter it but the serpent objected, say
ing it was too small. st. Patrick
insisted saying it was large enough
to be comfortable, and, after a long
contention the serpent entered it
to prove it's case, when the saint
slammed down the lid, and threw
the box into the sea. To complete
this wonderful tale, the legend states
that the waves of the sea are made
by the writings Of this serpent and
the noise of the sea is that of the
serpent imploring the saint to re-
lease it.

OUR WAR WITH SPAIN.

Events after the destruction of
the Spanish squadron by Dewey in
the harbor of Manila, were not dis
closed until May 7th and in the
meantime the country waited in
anxious suspense TO know the full
details. The movement of the
feet which left the Cape Verde
islands, which was shrouded in
mystery tended to intensity the feel
ing, and many surmises were made
as to its destination. Grave fears
were entertained that it had gone
to intercept the Oregon and Marietta,
or that it might suddenly appear at
Porto Rico. Captain Sampson s
Key West fleet sailed away and for
several days the anxiety, as to the
next developments on the broad
waters, was intense. May 18th
news was received that the Cape
Verde fleet was at Cadiz.
News was received from Dewey
May 7th in the form of a dispatch
from him which stated that May 1
the squadron arrived at Manila at
day-break and Immediately engaged
the enemy destroying eleven vessels
and the water battery at Cavite.
His squadron was uninjured and
only few men slightly wounded.
The Spaniards lost over two-hun-
dred killed and from Eve to seven
hundred wounded. Manila was then
practically in his possession

new plan has been adopted for
identifying the men in the regular
and volunteer U. S. Armies, who
may 90 into action. They will
wear around their necks little tags
of aluminium, by which they may
be identified if found on the field of
battle. In the last war it was often
impossible to properly identify the
dead soldiers and thousands were
buried in graves marked "uniden-
titled. The War Department has
proposed this system, and each tag
will bear the numeral assigned each
man on the muster rolls, with the
letter of his Company, battery, or

The Philippine islands.

Only nlllb VI butiu dIo VI any tO0-
siderable size, the others being lit.
tie more than bare volcanic rocks
They have a population of 1000, ,OOC
and 100000 inhabitants.
Luzon, the largest of the Philip
pine group has an area of Al, ,121
square miles, being about as large
as Cuba, and it has a population of
over 4,5OO, 900.
Manila, the capital of Luzon and
of the whole Philippine archipelago
is situated at the mouth of the river
Pasig, which empties into the bay
of Manila. Including the suburbs
it has population of 172, 900
of which about 5000 are Spaniards
10000 are creoles, or Spanish of
mixed caste, and the remainder are
mainly TagalMalays, mestizos, Chin
ease and Mohammedans from India,
with few European foreigners
The Philippines are the most
northerly division of the great
Indian archipelago.
The bay of Manila has been called
the finest CONNIE roial harbor in the
world It is 12O miles around it, and
the water over much of its inolosed
area is 300 feet deep. All the navies
in the world might anchor in the
bay at the same time and have room
to spare.
After entering Manila a vessel
still has 90 miles to sail to reach the
city.
In the Philippines the rainyseason
lasts from May to November. The
heaviest rains fall in July.
During the wet monsoons-the
rainy season-the island of Luzon is
subject to typoons which often canse
great destruction to the shipping
and to property inshore.
Like Havana, the Philippines cap
jtal city is famous for its cigars.
The Manila oheroot, highly appre-
oiated in the East Indies and in Eur
ope, is far milder than the heavy
Cuban cigars.
Malays of the Tagal and the
Bisayan tribes form the bulk of the
population of the Philippines.
The aboriginal inhabitants, dark
people called by the Spaniards Ne
gritos. live in the mountain Gus parts
of the island.
The Philippines were discovered
by Fernando Magalheans (Magellan)
in 1921. He was killed on one of
the islands.
Up to 1922 pirates infested the
Philippine waters. At that date a
Spanish expedition against the
island of Sulu put an end to their
depredations,
The Spanish laws for the Indian
are simple-and Spanish. Every
male inhabitant must pay a person
al tax and give 40 days labor ann
ually to the pubic work department.
Besides this, in Luzon the coolies
must cultivate tobacco for the gov
ernment or pay a money equival-
ept.
A leading production in the Philip
pines is hemp. Manila, as a term
for rope, is in use the world over
wherever vessels sail.
Volcanoes are numerous and
active in Luzon and other islands.
The city of Albay was destroyed in
1914 by an eruption from Mount
Mayon.
