The woman was young, but her face
showed the sufferings Of motherhood. Two
young children at play in the room inter-
rupted her practice from time to time. She
attended to their wants and turned again
to her attempts at playing. There was a
certain painful accuracy about her work.
The time was perfect; the marks of OK
preston were carefully observed; staccato.
legato, piano and forte were brought out
with conscientious p~ainstaking. But with all
her diligence and %carefulness there was a
rigidity Of movement which indicated to 4
musician that she had begun her musical
education too late.
There We're some who smiled when she
first began her music lessons, some who
wondered why a married woman with two
children should try to do that which they
knew she could not accomplish. Some Of the
comments came to her knowledge and had
for her some little bitterness. but never
tleless she continued in her attempts 1T
learning to play. Household duties, the care
of her children and delicate health all were
combined against her efforts yet in spite
OF these she made some progress. What
she learned, she learned thoroughly. Step
by step she mastered the rudiments of music

country would regulate exchange in
harmony with the value Of silver more
directly than at present, and 1uctua-
tiOns would not be so great nor so
dependent upon greater or lesser ex-
pOrtation. The best form of currency
for the country under existing circum-
stances and its political conditions is
the Mexican dollar with a local frac-
tiOnal currency, which could be coined
either in America or in this country.
The introduction Of the gold standard
would cause great disturbance to com
MERGE, and would have the effect Of
considerably reducing the value of the
products of the country. The only
ones to benefit thereby would be those
who take their savings or gains to gold
standard countries, in no wise benefit
ing this. The charter of the Spanish
Philippine bank was renewed two years
ago for another % years, so that it has
remaining . years Of legal existence.
The only obligation which was imposed
upon the bank for the concession Of its
charter was an annual concession to
the government of a loan amounting
in the maximum to $4,000 for six
months at a rate Of interest one per
cent less than the minimum rate char
ged the public. The present circum-
stances obliged the bank to lend its
support to the public treasury, and the
debt in account current was increased,
reaching the figure Of $4,000 at this
date.
4-The currency Of the islands should
be maintained upon its present basis.
Later on a special coin might be minted
which would be accepted by the native,
but the gold standard could not be
used in the Philippine islands under
present conditions. Gold coin would
be bought up and exported, just as
sugar or hemp would be, and all gold
brought into the islands would be ship
ped to London for sale, to be melted
and coined into sOvereigns. japan has
given the world an example Of the mis-
take Of attempting to put in force a
gold standard where the people did
not understand or appreciate its advan-
tages over a silver coin.

OF an age departed;
When the world an Eden seemed
To the joyous hearted
Poverty was then unknown,
Care ve1t not the gracesi
Frost ne'er Eithered flowers new blown,
War left not her traces.

When that cycle fOurished
Which they called The Age Of GOld;"
Twas By Fancy nOurished.
We are wiser in our day,
Seeking bissful ages;
We look forward nor, as they,
Turn forgotten pages.
To the future men must go,
For the worlds improving,
And the surest way know
Is unselfsh loving
