Natives of the Philippines.

At the time of the discovery of the
Philippines in 1921, there were found
in the islands the brown Malayans,
who are now in the great majority,
and the small black Negritos, of which
only about 10000 survive. DR.. Briton
of the University of Pennsylvania be-
ieves that these two races are ethno-
graphically distinct, and that their
ethnic and historic relations offer
some interesting problems in an
thropology. For example, the Negri-
tos believe that if one of their people
dies it is due to the black art of these
Malayan adversaries, and they endeay-
or to slay Malayan is his place. The
anthropologists and ethnologfsts of
Europe are awaiting with interest the
results of Investigations which they
expect that American scientists will
prosecute in the Philippines.

TRAITS OF A COMING QUEEN.
Stories Which Show the Personality of the
Princess of Wales.

Princess OF Wales.
Queen Victoria recently admitted
that of all the members of her royal
family, excepting only her youngest
daughter, the Princess Beatrix, she
has more love for her probable success
scr, the beautiful princess of Wales.
Alexandra, the next quen of En-
gland, will enjoy, in a way, all the
power welded by her husband, and
will have the full social prestige now
belonging to her mother-in-law.
For this reason, and, perhaps, be-
cause she likes to keep herself young
enough to enjoy this, the princess of
Wales devotes a portion of her time to
athletics. Her waist is marvel of
neatness, and she is a grandmother
with five children. To secure the
syIphlike figure, which has preserved
past middle age, she resorts to the
same means as were employed by the
late empress of Austria. She exercises
constantly, and one room at Marlbor-
ough house is filled with automatic
side saddles, stationery bicycles and
all sorts of athletic aids. She rides
Orseback-indoors and outdoors
two hours every day, and weighs her.
self night and morning, to be sure she
is not gaining.
The princess of Wales has never con-
cerned herself with state matters, al
though she must know what is going
en-. She has always been absolutely
indifferent to such things, unless
served tc one swerved to one side or
other by personal favoritism. She ad-
mires Asquith, who married ''Dodo,"
and could have secured for him al
most any position, but she was iether
too Indifferent or too careless to ask,
and the viceroyship, which might have
been filled by him to-day, belongs to
another. The queen, who knows every
line of the possibilities of her states
men, has ever been a politician, look
ing for improver service, civil and mill
tary, but Alexandra has never worked
along political Illness, and never will;
she is not that kind of a woman.
Alexandra has her little Weaknesses
all womanly ones. She is found of
novels, a thing the queen dispises, un-
less one of the classic sort. She dis
likes famous people, such as authors
and artists, for she is timid in the face
OF genius, while the queen will have
nothing to do with any other. Alex
andra loves fancy work, and can out
line Il worsted dog to perfection, while
the queen never takes a stitch. Alex
andra notes the hang of a skirt and
the cut of the sleeves. Victoria is
calmly oblivious to everything except
court dress.
Britishers viii have something to do
TO get used to their new queen, for they
will have to reconstruct all their ideas
of royalty. Court dresses and jewels
will shine in the dull old rooms and
music and laughter will be heard
where now only the echoes startle the
figures of former gayety.

The Case in a Nutshell.

Alabastine is permanent coating
for walls and ceilings, designed to take
the place of kalsomines and wall pa
per. Alabastine sets with the wall. It.
is practically stone cement, as hard
and smooth as paint, but much less ex-
pensive, and is applied just as easily by
anyone. 1t can be mixed with either
cold or hot water, and applied with
kalsomine brush. 1t is clean, healthful,
and economical. Every one of the
strong points of Alabastine, proved to
be such by the test of twenty years,
is picked up by every new manufac-
turer of ordinary kalsomine and claimed
for his goods. These claims are alb
surd on their face. Alabastine alone
can prove its durability by the test of
time. 1t is sold by paint dealers, in
5-lb. packages, properly labeled.

IMPORTANT CANAL.
erable Benefit to the Wheat
Growers of Our Country.

Canada has begun the construction
IF a canal which is likely to have an i'm
portant effect on American commerce
and the interests of American wheat
growers. The canal is to be a short
waterway from the ST. Lawrence to the
upper lakes, avoiding lakes Erie and
Ontario. The canal already built be-
tween Montreal and Ottawa is to be
extended along the line of the Ottawa
river to Lake Nipissing. Thence the
route will follow French river to
Georgian bay and Lake Huron.
When this canal, which is to be twice
the depth of the Erie canal, is built,
grain laden barges and steamers viii
be able to pass directly from Duluth,
Port Arthur and other points on the
upper lakes to tide-water. Later it is
intended to deepen the canal so as to
allow the passage of ocean steamers.
When this is done, steamers may be
loaded with grain at Duluth and pro-
ceed to Liverpool without breaking
bulk.
From Chicago to Liverpool by the
new route will be 700 miles shorter than
nv way of the Erie canal. The saving in
time will be even more than this corn
harrison of distances indicates; for the
artificial waterway by the Ottawa
route will be only 80 miles as COM
pared with $50 miles by the Erie canal.
when allowance is made for the delay
in transshipment, it is probable that
grain will reach Liverpool from Chi
cago by the new route week sooner
than by the Erie canal. The new water
xvay will somewhat disturb American
commerce. On the other hand, it will
be of great value to American farmers
in the increasing competition with
other wheat growing countries

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

The Molineux case again raises the
ever-debatable question as to the rela-
tive values of direct and circumstan-
tial evidence. The prejudice against cir
cumstantial evidence is widespread.
Numerous cases are on record where
apparently guilty persons have been
sent to the gallows because of a damn
ing tangle of facts, apparently furnish
ing ample proof Of guilt.
1t is not strange, therefore, that jur-
crs hesitate before mourning the risk of
condemning a man on the evidence Of
circumstances. But in the majority of
cases there can be'no doubt that facts
lie far less than do individuals. The ap-
palling amount of perjury prevalent in
our courts makes man prone to place
greater confidence in the testimony Of
inanimate witnesses.

ALL UP FOR SAUNDERS.

The following was given out from
Mr.. Benefits office on Wednesday:
Noticing the public statement of Mr..
Myers that he is willing the republican
caucus for the nomination of speaker
should take place at any time within
twenty-four hours, Mr.. Bennett states
that he is also willing that the repub-
ltcan caucus should take place within
twentyfour hours, or at any time be-
tween now and the first Wednes-
day in January. The canvass of mem
bers, which resulted in showing that
more than one hundred members were
not committed to Mr.. Myers, was
made by the other three candidates,
and if Mr.. Myers can show as many
signed pledges today as Mr.. Bennett,
the latter states that he will announce
the fact in public in order that there
may be no misunderstanding.
1t matters little when the republican
caucus for the election of speaker is
called, so far as Mr. Myers is con-
cerned. He is rapidly losing, as he de-
serves to lose, what little strength he
possessed at the start, and Mr.. Saund-
ers is gaining ground daily. The rep
resentatives of Worcester county will
use every effort to place Mr. Saunders
in the speakers chair.

IRON AND STEEL EXPORTS.

Bradstreet says that despite numer-
Gus prophecies to the contrary, our ex-
port trade in iron and steel and their
various products continues very heavy
The October figures of exports show a
gain in value of nearly 81 per cent.
over those of October a year ago, and
for the ten months it is notable that
in quantity as we'll as value, increases
are practically universal, notable ex-
amples of this being afforded by the ex-
ports of bar iron and steel, wire rods
sheets and plates and wire nails. These
figures for October would seem to set
at rest the idea that the immense adj
vances in cost of our iron and steel
products during the past year would
result in marked falling off in our
shipments to the rest of the world.
Foreign iron and steel markets retain
special strength, and some makes of
English iron, according to recent ad-
vices. are held at the highest prices
paid since 1874.

THE YOUNG IAN IN POLITICS.

thing" that his advice to all young
men would be to let politics alone as a
profession" 1t is a bad thing" as

welfare should disregard the advice to
shun it.
But it Is just as true that politics
needs young men, earnest, thoughtful,
high-minded young men. 1t opens to
them field for usefulness which they
can find nowhere else and, when right
ly followed 1t affords satisfaction
which the pursuit of ones own selfish
interests can never give.

ROBERTS VAGUE.

Congressman Roberts should be more
specific. 1t is all very well for him to
play to the galleries by saying that Nc
Kinley has knowingly appointed poly
gamists to federal offices in Utah. But
if this is so, why did he fail to mention
names? Nothing could be gained by
holding back his proof The Utah big
amist was on Tuesday granted the
privilege of stating his case to the
House.
That opportunity will probably not be
granted a second time. What would
have been more dramatic than for Mr..
Roberts to adduce his proofs at that
time, stating names and facts fully.
That he did not do so, gives rise to the
belief that his charges against McKin-
ley are false.

GOLD PRODUCTIONS.

The enormous gold productions of re-

who, few years ago, favored a return
to silver, that this is no longer neces-
sary, at least at present. President A.
j. Warner of the Bi-metallic league,
during a recent visit to Washington,
said frankly to his friends that the very
great increase of gold production of late
was causing, in his opinion, depre-
citation rather than an appreciation of
gold which, of course, would obviate
to the metal currency of the world by
an increased use of silver.

An evidence of the increasing inter-

to feel in the Pacific is found in the
fact that practically one-half of our
enormous sugar imports of the present
year came from the Pacific, including
Hawaii, the Philippines and the East
Indies, while nearly one-half of the re-
mainder came from Cuba and Puerto
RIGA. From the Philippine islands the
amount for the 10 months ending with
October is over 5O,OOO,OOO pounds; from
the Hawaiian islands, $4,000 900 pounds;
from the East Indies over 1000, 900
