When thoughtless merchant stoops to
folly
And finds too late his candy's poor,
What brand can soothe his melancholy?
What scheme can make his cash count
more?
There's but one plan the fault to cover
And hide from all this great mistake,
And cause this man to roll in clover
'Tis-always buy the 'ROYSTER-
MAKE"

Professor Schurman Visits the Principal
Towns and Is Well Received.
MANILA, July 4.-Professor J. G.
Schurman of the United States advisory
commission for the Philippines has re-
turned to Manila from a three weeks
tour Of the Southern islands. He takes
an entirely hopeful view of the general
conditions there. The intelligent and
substantial citizens desire an American
protectorate. The masses are awaiting
the settlement of the war in the island
of Luzon before declaring themselves
They are chiefly anxious to be undis-
turbed. The president of the town of
Santo Nicolas, in the island of Cebu,
said to Mr. Schurman:
''We want peace, food and prosperity.
We do not wish to fight. We would be
neutral"
Fear to Endorse American Rule.
The president of the commission
thinks this declaration fairly expresses
the sentiments of the people in the
southern islands of the Archipelago
Manyof the towns there are in The
hands of small bands of Tagaloa and
the people fear to endorse the American
rule until they are certain that Aguin-
aldo will be beaten. Let them once be
convinced Of this and the allegiance of
the Southern islands, Mr.. Schurman
thinks, can be secured by diplomaey.
The United States gunboat Benning-
ton took Mr.. Schprman to "hindanao
and the islands of the Sufu and Visayan
groups. He travelled through the isl.
and of Negros with Colonel Smith ana
principal towns he was rendered hanA
quets and had an hours conference vita
the young sultan of SQ,u.
He Earnestly Desires PeBos.
AIr. Schurman told the sultan thAs
the United States had secured the SOW
ereignty of the islands from Spain, but
had no wish to subjugate the poFnla-
tion CT interfere with their customs OK
religion. The sultan replied that he
earnestly desired peace and was anxious
to continue the existing treaties
]. Saturday General Lawton and Mr.,
Worcester of the commission visited the
principal towns of the province Of
Cavite, out of which the natives were
recently driven. Before ACTING General
Lawton and Mr.. Worcester consulted
with leading men Of each town and se-
lecfed candidates whose allegiance and
loyalty to American interests was be-
yond doubt. Wherever they went the
Americans were heartily cheered by

Ii Hung Changes Mistake.

One day, some years ago, Ii Hung
Chang was making a journey from
Ilen-Isln 10 shanghai, on the steamer
of the Chinese Mutual Company, of
which he is the principal owner says
the Philadelphia Saturday Post. Be-
ing of an inquiring disposition he ask
ed many questions about the machin-
cry and the furnishings of the ship.
What interested him most was the
barometer, and Capt. Baker explained
it with great care and described the
minutest details.
Several months after, when Capt.
Baker arrived at Tien-Tsin at the end
of voyage, he was informed at the
steamship office that Earl Ii wanted
to see him at the Viceroy's yamen.
The Captain, Judging from the expe-
rience of other men, expected to re-
ceive reward for faithful service, and
dressing himself with care, took
rickshaw for the residence of the
greatest man in China. Upon arrival
he was shown into the reception room,
and pretty soon LII Hung Chang made
his appearance, followed by servant
carrying a handsomely mounted ma
hogany box. He put it on the table,
opened it, and took out a beautiful
barometer, which had just arrived
from Paris. After Capt. Baker had adj
mired the mechanism Of the instru-
ment, Earl Ii turned to him and said;
Now, l want you to show me how
you foretell events with this thing"
"You cannot foretell events with
barometer" said Capt. Baker in sur
prise.
"You told me you could" retorted
Earl Lii.
81 never did anything of the kind"
exclaimed the astonished seaman. Il
told you that by comparing the
changes in the temperature and direc-
ton of the wind with the movements
Of this instrument we could anticipate
storm, but l did not say anything
about foretelling events. because that
IS impossible"
The Viceroy stared at the sailor with
establishment, and exclaimed:
"You are an ignorant, incompetent
fellow. Don't you know that the
weather is the most uncertain thing in
the world? Other events are governed
oy laws and arbitrary conditions, from
which the weather is entirely free, and
anybody who can find out what the
weather is going to be ought to be
able to foretell ordinary events"
Then with a contemptuous motion he
dismissed Capt. Baker from his pres
ance, and never spoke to him again.

Daflodils by the Tons.

In Lincolnshire, England, very
pretty and profitable industry is being
developed, which bids fair in a few
years to render the home grower of
dubious flowers Independent of the
Dutch bulb specialists.
At the present time millions of man.
moth daffodil blossoms are to be seen
in the windows Of the retail florists
in all of our cities and towns. They
consist Of such big trumpet varieties as
Sir Watkin. Horsteldii Trumpet Ma
jor, Emperor and Empress.
Some of the growers of these flowers
have for weeks been sending out tons
of cut blooms at fixed sum per thou
sand, and by this method they increase
their profits, as they have no market
toll or salesman's commission to pay.
One grower expects to dispatch three
tons of "daffs" this week.

ROLLED IN A BARREL
punishment Pronounced Worse Than
Lynching by Victim.

There's something barbaric about
Yncnlng, as most people will agree"
salu the man with the broken nose.
put l can easily name two worse
Inlngs. One is rolling a man around
IN barrel and the other is a coat of
tar and feathers. In my foolish young
days l arrived at town in southern
Indiana to find the people all excited
over several arrests for robbery. A
FAMILY named Black, consisting of
man and wife and a grown-up son. had
been caught and made to confess to
many thefts. Instead of putting them
on trial, the people had determined to
apply tar and feathers and walk EN-
out OF town. l had no objections so
tar as the men were concerned. but
when 1t came to the woman I con-
stltuted myself her champion and de-
clared that they must walk over NV
dead body first. For about five min
utes | was hero. Then about a dozen
men grabbed me and hustled me into
a room, and after the Blacks had been
disposed OF according to programme
was brought out for punishment. Plen-
ty or tar and feathers were left, but
the crowd wanted change, and it was
decided that | should have the barrel
exercise. They got out and unheaded
a big cider barrel, dropped me into it
and replaced the head, and then all
was ready,
Il was inclined to look upon the pro-
ceedings with contempt. l had never
been rolled in a barrel, and so I had
no idea of the sensations. They first
kicked It along the wide, unpaved
street, and it had not rolled over more
than twenty times when | was sick of
my job. After they had enjoyed them
selves for quarter of an hour | was
praying for death to hurry up. l dim
ly remember that after they got tired
OF the football work in the street they
rolled the barrel up long hill, and then
let it go kiting down. You talk of sea-
sickness; but there is no comparison
Aside from the feeling of nausea, L
was Jared, jolted and bruised from
head to heels, and in one of the bumps
had my nose broken. l was uncon-
scious when they finally took me out,
and for a week l was little better than
dead man. 1t was weeks and weeks
before l got the revolving motion out
of my head and I could walk straight,
and to this day I can't see a grind
stone revolving without being affected
by it. 1t would have been far more
merciful to hang me up by the neck. E"
But how about the tar and feath-
ers?" was asked.
We'll, I met the old man Black
about two years later, and he still
smelled of tar. He told me that it
took weeks work with soap and wa.
ter to get the stuff started, and that
spots were left which couldn't be got
off, even when rubbed with a brick.
He didn't feel the degradation so
much, but what hurt his feelings was
that he had been obliged to put in
more work on that tar than in all his
life before. He had tried the barrel
racket once, and he thought it a shade
worse than tar, but he had no words
Of sympathy with me. On the con-
trary, he said if l hadn't mixed in the
three of them would probably have got
off with a ride on a rail"
