 THE PHILIPPINE CHARACTER.
Brave, Inconstant and Chafing Under
 Restraint

Brave, Inconstant and Chafing Under
 Restraint
 After years of study of the native character, I have come to the concu- sion that the Philippine Islander is very matter of-fact. He is not unwilling but unable, conscientiously to accept an abstract theory. Christianity, with it's mysteries, has therefore no effect on his character, but he becomes accus- toned to do that which his forefathers were coerced to do, namely, to accept the outward and visible signs without being imbued by the inward and spirit ual grace. The mere discipline-the fact that, nolens volens, they must at a given hour on a given day appear dressed In their best and attend the church and Gin the case of headmen) go to the monks residence to kiss hands" has certainly had the effect of tanning the masses into orderly beings. Yet restraint of any kind is repugnant to him. He likes to be as free as bird, but he is of a pliant nature, and easily managed with just treatment He is extremely sensitive to injustice. If he knows in his own mind, that he has done wrong he will submit to a thrash ing without any thought of taking re- venge. If he Were punished out of mere caprice, or with palpable injustice, he would always have a lurking desire to give quid pro quo. He has an innate contempt for towards hence his dis dain for Chinese, but will follow brave leader anywhere, and will never be the first to yield to hunger, fatigue or pos- sible chances of death. He takes every trouble with profound resignat he promises everything and performs lit | tie; his word is not worth a straw, and he does not feel that lying is sin. He is inconstant in the extreme, and loyal so long as it suits him, but as a sub | ject he can be easily moulded into any | fashion which a just, honest and mer- ciful government would wish.-Contem- l porary Review.

THE CoNoUEsr OF PORTO RICO,

THE CONQUEST OF PORTO RICO. The conquest" of Porto Rico con-
 tinues. Volunteers are surrendering
 themselves with arms and ammunition.
 General Miles telegraphs that four fifths of the people are overjoyed at the arrival of the army. Two thou sand from one place have volunteered
 to serve with it. The people are bring
 ing in supplies and doing all they can to help Uncle Sam, whom they have joyously adopted as their own uncle. This is as sweet as Porto Rico mo-
 lasses. There isn't much military glory
 in the conquest so far and though
 some of the soldiers are doubtless ach- ing for a chance to show their quality it is to be hoped that they will not get 1t. The army doesn't need to give any
 proof of it's bravery and efficiency in battle, and the more like military
 picnic the conquest of Porto Rico Is the
 better the country generally and the friends and relatives of the soldiers
 will be suited. The people of the United
 States will have reason to be especially friendly with their Porto Rico country men when they become their country men.

THE DRUGGISTS REVENGE.

case has recently hsen before pro- vincial police court which is not with out it's amusing side. A small boy persisted in swinging on the supports to the blinds of druggists shop. The d'uggist dosed him with quassia in so- lution as a punishment. The small boy had the law of" the druggist, who, as a result, had to pay a fine. Our sympathies are all with the druggist, but yet we think the decision of the case against him was right as well as 8 foregone conclusion. He should have spanked the boy, whose outside would certainly not have been regarded either by magistrate, parent or public as so clearly sacred from interference as his gastro-intestinal tract. The ingenuity pf his punishment was bound to in flame general sentiment against him, oven while no one may deny that the ,bpy's behavior was aggravating We think the magistrates were right to in- fict a fine and hope that the decision will act as a deterrent for two rather obvious reasons. Firstly, if such retail iatory measures were to be sanctioned by law the next solution administered in this way might not be so harmless as quassa, the punishment might not fit the crime so well. and the executioner might be less instructed in therapeu
 tics. Secondly, an element in this way is imported into punishment which should never be present in the punish ment of children at any rate-the ele- nient of nervous terror. We know, and the druggist knew, that the solution of nuassia was as harmless as say, many sorts of table beer, but the boy did not know it. He might easily believe that his disagreeable sensations were the prelude to impending death from poi Eoning, and fond mother might possi- bly support the view, with the result that much more pain, and of differ ent sort, would be caused than was in- tended.-Lancet.

WAITING FOR STAINS ANSWER.

Spain conferred great and unusual powers on M Cambon. It appears that his credentials appointed him Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, with complete instructions as to the manner of acting upon every one of the peace conditions presented by the United States, including the disposition of Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, the Ladrones, indemnity, armistice and all other questions likely to arise in the course of the negotiations.
 This showed conclusively that Spain was acting in good faith, and it did not take long for the President and Secretary Day to do their part of the momentous business. They consented to modification of the United States terms in one particular. The modifica- tion brought about practical unanimity between the President and Ambassa- dor Cambon, as Plenipotentiary for opdlL, anu lIlc ldLltI IdS transmitted the results of the conference to Madrid for approval, which, if given, will end the war.
 It is reasonable to expect that the Spanish government will approve M Cambon's action for it, and to-day or tomorrow the news of peace may come. If it doesn't, and if the Span iards butter any more. all the worse for them.

trying if the face should flush just a little too much. Rose color lining is added usually, for this shade seems to equalize the tints of the face.
 Lawn parasols are almost as pretty and as expensive as those of chiffon, and are crisper. Lace and wild flowers (not always artifciaD are added, and round flounce completes the ornamen- tation. A lovely finish to very fine parasol was a handkerchief flounce. That is four cornered founce such as woudl be left if the center were cut out of a handkerchief. This founce was beautiful pattern lace. If only the ob- server can keep from thinking that the center was cut out of a shawl to make it, she will admire it.
 Included in to-day's picture is a beau tiful parasol of blue silk trimmed with a double ruffle of white silk mousseline and lace. At the top was huge lace rosette, and the handle was ivory handsomely inlaid with silver. Besides being of itself a thing of beauty, it was in tasteful harmony with the dress with which it was sketched. This was of blue fouiard dotted with white. The skirt was made with the fashionable Spanish fiounce, headed with three bias folds of blue satin. An ornately draped vest of white silk mousseline appeared on the bodice, and white lace rippled down the edges of the fronts, which were embroidered with white silk fin- ished with narrow white mousseline frills. The sleeves were entirely rufffed with Dleated white mOuSSeline and had epaulettes to match. Collar and belt were dark blue satin.

It was the work of one man, and he lived to complete it unaid- ed; and in creating new Germany, in arming it and yielding it's power, he made his own will the strongest indi- ny, which he had found scarcely more than geographical expression, had been converted into powerful military empire, an industrial State with Par lament elected by universal suffrage, Germany.

BISMARCK,

Bismarck was not as spectacular as Napoleon, and his fame may not be as long and large as Napoleons. But he was more permanently successful than Napoleon. He made his own country great, and he practically ruled Europe until he retired from business. Napo- leon made his own country great for awhile, and he terrified Europe so that it was deemed necessary to drive him out of business.
 Bismarck's achievements were most astonishing in their greatness and com pleteness. They are thus well set forth by a writer in the New York Tribune: Bismarck found Prussia a feeble State. the dupe of Austrian diplomacy. and the German States distracted with in- ternal dissensions. He created the

men,.

There are other woes than those of war. This advertisement appeared in a New York paper Friday: Reward Save my child's life; return her lost pet. Fox Terrier, male. Candee, 149 West Ninteenth street" A sympa- thetic reporter investigated the case. He found that the child whose life was imperiled by the loss of the dog was married woman twenty-five years old. Her name is Hughes, and that of her mother, who inserted the adver- tisement, is Candee The heart broken child was not seen, but the mother said: This morning, I do not believe I could have talked about it myself. Now am becoming reconciled and am
 beginning to philosophize. My daugh- ter. though, is heartbroken; she can't sleep and is not herself. I am very much worried It is perfect sin to keep the precious thing from her. He was such a dear!''
 Poor child! It is to be hoped that the dog will be found, and that the afflicted child will soon be herself again. The mothers ability to philosophize in such
 an awful time is admirable, and marks her as superior woman. She will live if the dog isn't found, but probably the child will not. Anybody who could bring such trouble upon a mother and child must indeed be "a perfect sinner"

The authorities of Portland, Oregon, believe that they have solved the prob- lem of economical street sprinkling, and the explanation of the way they do it is a revelation of how that far western city is gridironed with street railroads. There are at least thirty miles of track within the city, as the contract for sprinkling covers that amount of high way on which rails are laid. Each mile of the thirty is to be sprinkled once daily, Sundays excepted, the work to be done by the street railroad company with a motor sprinkling cart. The city furnishes the water, and the railroad company distributes it for $400 month Not counting the cost of the water, the expense is about SIS per mile per month That is certainly less than it would cost the city to do the work through it's Street department. The cost per city lot of fifty feet frontage is about seven cents a month.

close to the bladder, therefore any

Above SONG.

My darling is over the ocean,
My darling is over the seq.
She's over there hunting title,
And that's what is bothering me.
Her father has got many millions,
Aud her mother is simply immense
They don't know noun from an
adverb,
Or the past from the future teens.
But they both want their beautiful
daughter
TO marry baron, at least;
So they've taken her over the water
TO show her off like Gagged beast.
Oh, come back, my beautiful darling,
Come hither, sweet, over the sea;
Oh, cease your mad quest for title
Come back and be happy with me
There are other sweet girls here, and
many
A one could, no doubt, make me
glad
But none of the rest has your wealthy,
Indulgent, illiterate dad!
