The Right of All Mankind.

The great idea that the Bible Is the
history of mankind's deliyerance from
all tyranny, outward as well as in
ward; of the Jews, as the one free
constitutional people among a world
of slaves and tyrants; Of their ruin, as
the righteous fruit of voluntary re-
turn to despotism; of the New Testa-
ment, as the good news that freedom,
brotherhood. quality once confided on
ly to Judea and to Greece, and dimly
seen even there, was thenceforth to be
the right of all mankind, the law of
all society-who was there to tell me
that? Who is there now to go forth,
and tell it to the millions who have
suffered and doubted and despised like

PAINTING UPON LACE.
Eject L. Wonderfully Good, Though TIE
Idea Is Not New


Something, although not strictly
new, certainly worthy of notice. is
painting upon lace for decorative and
household purposes. The work is in
imitation OF old Cretan laces. which
were made with colored threads. ar
ranged as patterns upon a black or
white ground. 1t is executed with
water-colors, and can be usnd for sofa
cushions and similar things, frills for
old-looking portiers, to give them the
air of antiquity. or for dainty bed or
couch dressing. The colors are made
fast by the use of fixative, and though
they will not stand washing they will
not spoil from atmospheric causes. To
paint: Use veloutine as a fixative;
moist water-colors, with Chinese white
of body colors, red sable brushes, and
work upon lace of good designs. Stretch
the lace and pin it down to a drawing
board. so that every part of it is quite
secure. Select the colors TO use. and
where they are applied, and over every
place that is to be painted lay wash
of Chinese white and veloutine. pass
that over parts already sized with the
veloutine, and then paint the lace with
bright colors in set pattern. Metallic
colors, such as gold. silver and bronze,
can be applied in the same way to the
lace. See that the colors are thorough
ly absorbed into the lace, and remem-
Der the more broken and diversified
the coloring the better the effect.

COMMERCE OF THE PHILIPPINES
Sugar and Hemp Are the Principal Com
modfties for Exportatfon

-
modities for Expectation
A population that can never be as
simulated, and whose most active in
dustry is rebellion against foreign
domination, promises little in the way
OF progress through internal change
other than through determination.
This may be accomplished by war. by
labor akin to slavery, or by contact
with higher civilization ard its CON
sequent disastrous results to the weak
er race. Even if the native population
be subdued, they will make unwilling
toilers; if driven out of the larger and
more fertile islands, some form of
labor must take their place 1t will
not be American, it will not be Euro
pean, for it cannot be either. 1t must
be Asiatic; and, if left to a free settle
ment, would be Chinese. Yet our laws
as applied to the Hawaiian islands
prohibit the Introduction of the Chi
nese, and is it right to apply another
rule to the Philippines-Am ter
ritory? Products take care of them
selves. Climate and soil and a mild
pressure of commercial exchanges have
determined that the Philippines should
contribute to the worlds trade few
leading commodities. The most i'm
portant is hemp, a natural monopoly;
for though many species of this plant
are found in the tropics, none pro-
duces the same or as good a fiber as
is obtained in the Philippines. More
than that, attempts to raise this par
ticular variety elsewhere have failed.
The value of the exports of hemp in
1897 was $S,500,00O, and a nearly equal
value of sugar was also exported
t$7O00,000), these two commodities
making nearly IA per cent of the value
of the total exports. If three other
items be taken from the export tables
-copra (s2,6S7,97S), tobacco in leaf
$1,323,445), and cigars (sSO5, 00O)-
about 81 per cent of the entire export
value is accounted for, and every lead

ANNAPOLIS CADETS.
Now on Their Summer Trip In Foreign
Waters.

Waters.
One of the most pleasant things
about being an Annapolis cadet is the
chance they have of going on summer
cruises. The second class men are now
aboard an old-fashioned sailing vessel
such as was used by our navy before
we had steam warships. These young
men are required to do the work of
common sailors; in fact, they do every
thing there is to be done on the boat.
They started in June, and will return
in September. They stop for a week
or so at Plymouth, England, and ar
rangements have been made for them
TO spend few days in London. Then
they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the
boys are wondering how SPANS neigh
bors will receive them. After that they
go to Gibraltar, and then home again.
OF course there is a good deal of fun
to be got out of the trip, and a great
deal TO see; but it is a part of their
four years course at the naval acad-
envy, and they have to work hard
scrubbing decks and taking in sails,
and the slightest disobedience is pun
ished. Before they left this country
they stopped off Hampton Roads for
few days and went through a lot of
drilling, including the DESERVING of the
ship In this drill the crew puts pro-
visions in the small boats, launch them
and row away toward land, just as they
would have to do if the ship took fire
or were in sinking condition.
