MADEIRA GIRLS.

Arab blood makes them much hand
somer as a race than the pure-bred Por
tuguese. They have dark eyes and hail
and are rather under medium height,
but, as rule, strongly built.
Their costume is very bright, as they
wear gayly colored chintz gowns, and
very often scarlet capes or pelerines,
with long ends thrown over their Shout
ders. On their heads they weara white
muslin handkerchief, the ends of which
hang down over their shoulders, and
over that curious funnel-shsp cap.
When the peasant women come into
town on feast day or market day. they
are careful not to waste the beauties Of
their best clothes on the country roads.
and may, consequently, often be seen
putting the finishing touches to their
toilets under palm trees outside the
town, chatting and laughing together
as they do so. A curious trait about the
people is that when they 60 out beg
ging they always put on their best
clothes. There is a great deal of pow
erty in Madeira nowadays-though the
influx of tourists is doing something for
the islands.

ALREADY EXPANDED.
Early Indications of the Ben eff s Re.
sulting from the Acquisition
of the Philippines.

While senators are shiveringly debat.
ing whether we ought to expand or not,
the benefits of expansion have already
begun. Consul-General Wildman. of
llong-Kong, says in his just published
annual report that the presence of the
American squadron and army on the
Asiatic coast has had great effect in
stimulating our trade with that region.
He predicts that this benefit will prove
permanent, and adds:
Nothing that could have happened to
this coast would be of so great help
in the introduction of American goods
into these markets as the presence of so
large body of American consumers in
our midst.
"Our forces of occupation have done
more than conquer a country; they
have made an impression on Asiatc
markets that can never be effaced.
when our feet first arrived here lin
February, 1899 there were few sam
pie cases of American timed milk,
fruits, meats, whisky, beer, etc, in the
big English and German wholesale
houses. The imports from America
were made up almost wholly of Cali
fornia flour and American kerosene.
To-day every steamer and ship from
America brings cargoes of American
goods. While their ultimate destina-
ton is Manila. they are handled by Eu-
ropean firms here and come before the
public in such imposing quantities that
first curiosity is aroused and demand
follows. The great difficulty in the past
has been to get the great body of
Chinese consumers to sample our man
ufactures. Even if this were possible,
the goods came over in small consign-
ments, and at prices which were pro-
hibitive to all but those who could af-
ford to pay for luxuries. With the in
iluX of Americans into Manila, Amcri-
can firms have found it to their adj
vantage to send out men to study the
needs of this climate. Already one
house has been established in Hong
Kong with branch at Manila, which
is meeting with gratifying success. l
am informed that there is a shipment
of $4,000 bales of upland cotton from
Texas on its way, which has been pur-
chased by large Chinese firm, and is
laid down here as cheaply as the In
dian cotton"
These are merely the first fruits at
single point, of military invasion.
| What will be the result when 100000
American miners, merchants. engineers,
/ railroad men and planters are settled in
the Philippines. setting an example of
the use of American goods to 100000
natives, when 10,000-ton ships ply across
the Pacific every week, and when lines
/ of American coasting steamers, with
their headquarters at Manila, ply up
and down the whole front of Asia. from
Singapore to Vladivostock? !
We have already expanded, Dewey
| and Merritt have been the advance
agents of American commerce. All that
remains is to finish and secure what
they have begun.-N. Y. Journal
