LANGUAGES or FILiPINos.
Among the Many Dialects Tagala IL the
Best.

From the Scientific. American.
According to a Spanish missionary
who resided Is years in the Philippines.
there Is no language that Is common to
all the islands. but each canton has a
dialect peculiar to itself. All these dia-
lects, however, have some affinity.
somewhat like that which exists be-
tween the Italian dialects of Lombardy,
sicily and TUSCANY. On the island OF
Luzon there are six dialects. some of
which are current in the other islands.
The most universal are the Tagala N
Bisaya. The latter Is 'veryoscoarse.
while the former Is more polished n
peculiar. and to such a degree that a
roman Catholic missionary Who had a
thorough knowledge of everything per-
tanning to the islands was accustomed
to say that the Tagala language a
the advantages of o OF the principal
tongues of the world: that IL was mys-
t~erlous. like Hebrew; that IT had the
articles Of the Greek. as well for APP
pellations as for proper nouns: that II
was as elegant M copious as Latin.
and that IL was as well adapted as
Italian for compliments and negotia-
ton.
The natives make use Of but three
novels and ave but IL c~onsonants.
which they express differently by place
ing a dot above or below them. They
have learned from Europeans to write
from left to right instead of from top
to bottom. as they formerly wrote.
Palm caves were formerly used for
paper and an iron stylus for a pen. They
use writing for correspondence only. as
they have no books OF science or his
tory. The missionaries have had relig
ious works printed In the various dia-
lects OF the island. The natives OF the
Moluccas have a very pleasing a of
corresponding with their friends They
arrange flowers of different colors In a
bouquet. in such a a that the re-
ceiver understands. by examining the
varieties and their shades (Which repre-
sent so many characters). h his
friend intended to say to him.

are extremely fond OF ducks. A bath

of view. Is admirably adapted for the
purpose Of a live preserve" and as such
he employs IL. Four bathrooms VIII ac-
commodate 30 ducks comfortably, and
thus the dinner table Of the legation
on q street Is kept continually supplied.
The management Of the ducks In the
bathrooms Is remarkably complete. In
the daytime. the porcelain tubs being
filed to the brim. they swim about as
happy as can be. incidentally, they are
fed to fatness like any ordinary ducks.
At night the water Is withdrawn from
the tubs. and they go to perch on sticks

ceptacles or otherwise bestowed.

The Demand For Horses.

This country in 1897 exported 39,-
532 horses and 7473 mules, the total
value of which was So, ,314, 900, making
a rather important item of foreign
trade. The exports of horses have
increased over fivefold since 1898.
There were never as many as 5000
sent abroad prior to that year. The
increase is due to the decline in the
value of horses in this country result
ing from their displacement by cables
and electricity on street car lines, and
the general depression in the country.
There is, undoubtedly, surplus of
horses in the United States and prob
ably this will continue, so that ex-
ports are likely to go on increasing,
The agricultural department is doing
all it can to open foreign markets for
American horses. There is no doubt
that horses can be raised in this coun-
try as cheaply as anywhere else in the
world, and every country which needs
to import horses ought to get its chief
supply from the United States. The
average farm value of horses is barely
half what it was five years ago. 1t is
rather strange that prices of horses
have not advanced in the past six
months, especially in Kansas, where
there certainly is a greater demand
for them, and less disposition among
farmers to sell them. The increased
profits of farming ought to have the
effect of greatly reducing the number
of horses for sale.-Kansas City Star.

A Fascinating Island,

"Of all fascinating places under the
sun" said gentleman who has trav-
eled much, "the island of Tahiti, one
of the Society Islands, is the most
fascinating. In that country, little
earth lost in vast ocean, nature has
done everything to make indolent
souls happy. The climate is temper
ate and even all the year round, the
vegetation is luxuriant, the women
beautiful, and the nights, full of per-
fume and mystical light, stir the most
practical mind to love of meditation
and dreaming. The influence of this
dreamy, lazy life is very insidious.
1t is not necessary to work, as the
island furnishes food without the la
Dor of tillage. l know a number of
Americans aud French who have gone
there for a visit, and have become so
enraptured with the languorous exis-
tence that, like the visitors to lotus
land, they lie down and forget friends,
home, ambition and everything. l
remember how / used to feel the iu-
huence steal upon me. Many time
1 wished earnestly to cast my lot
with those languorous people. | can
look back now and see myself as | lay
one night against cocoanut tree in a
sort of ecstacy of meditation. < Over
head was a sky bright with million
stars. Sounds came to me in a strange
fashion, blending into murmur. A
short distance away a group of ma.
tives, girls and men, were shouting
the rhythmic chant of the upuupa
dance. / thought of myself on this
little isle, with ocean on every side
and New Orleans so many miles dis
tant. Nothing seemed real TO me but
that spot in which one could hear in
distinctly the chant of the singers and
the sobbing of the waves; mysterious
charm possessed me. y Mexican

The following, from the London
Daily News, is, in the opinion of the
ST. Louis Star, true indication of the
estimation in which Spain is held by
all civilized nations. "Spain can ex-
pect no support, moral or otherwise,
from England against the United
States. She has ruined Cuba, as she
has ruined or lost every other colony,
by the grossest corruption, cruelty
and maladministration; and she must
be left to settle the account for it with
those whom it may concern, without
any aid or sympathy on our part"

In answer to an inquiry W. L. Cur
tis, the well-known Washington cor
respondent, states that the pur chase of
Alaska is supposed to have been an
acknowledgment of Federal obligations
to Russia for placing feet at the dis
posal of President Lincoln during the
dark period of the Civil War, although
there is no official record of that fact.
The late Secretary Seward made such
an intimation great many times, and
all of the other statesmen of the coun-
try who were familiar with the inside
affairs of the Government at that date
occur in the opinion.
