The young man who aSplreS TO the

woman who doesn't quite understand

exclaimed:

He looked a .trifie gloomy, but re-
sumed:
How the great masses of color are
piled one upon another in natures Ia

Yes she sighed; lit makes me think
of Neapolitan ice-cream."
"And there, close and closer to the
horizon, sinks, a great crimson ball, the

science and philosophy as trinity was
founded on a rock. Science divorced
from her mates is a skeleton, and be-
reaved and defrauded is that child who
is kept so closely to facts that he comes
to despise poetry and remains
stranger to romance. A child's literary
life is a secret no adult can ever wholly
penetrate. But when an enthusiastic
temperament takes books as intimate
companions there Is reason for watch
ing the result with anxiety. What is
read and thought by day enters into
dreams, works into the deepest recesses
of our being. and becomes part Of our
brain itself. If a child talks seldom Of
what he reads, he thinks the more.
Secretiveness sometimes hides a tur-
bulent mental activity. and a shy ex-
terror can conceal strange broodings.
But an omnivorous taste, which is very
common, should not be left without
some subtle, unobtrusive guidance.
Most of us who have lived much with
books are influenced to-day more than
we should probably like to acknowledge
by "reminiscences of our childish lit
erary life.-Florence Hull Winterburn

Bo0K-LovING CHILDREN.
A Taste for literature should be
Encouraged and Wisely Guided.

To the child who opens his mind to
the deep truths of poetry. the forerun-
ner of science, life looks simple and
easy, and he learns to attach himself
to duty before duty assumes that hard,
complicated aspect which it usually
presents later on. 1t is the child aversc
from the first to books, inimical in
every fiber to study Who is the in
tractable child, rebellious against order
because his nature is inharmonious
with its own laws. Books
themselves-mere print and paper
are only trash except as they
are symbols of the life Of thought
and imagination. But in our day they
are symbols almost inseparable from IL.
And so the child who naturally forms
an early friendship for books shows
that the trend of his mind is upward,
along the higher paths of life. Let The
advanced educationists say their say;
we who have followed them with anx-
iety through all their experimentings
have learned that our faith in literature,

Counting by Machinery.

Our. first census, made in 1913,
showed the population of the United
States to be 100000, and the count
cost Uncle Sam, who was comparative
ly poor then, 1 cent for each person. 1t
is estimated that the twelfth census, to
be made in June, 1900, will show that
our people number 75.000,00O and that
the item of clerk hire, in the Census
Bureau alone,s will exceed $4,000, 600.
Clifford Howard, writing in the La
dies Home Journal" says that "al-
though the work of enumeration will
be completed by the first of July, it will
probably be two or three months later
before the last of the schedules are re-
ceived at the Census Office; for not only
must they all be first examined by the
supervisors, but in many cases they
will probably require revision because
of some error or informality. The
actual counting of the people will not
be done until the schedules are turned
into the Census Office. The enumera-
tors simply gather the facts, and the
office force in Washington does the
counting and the compiling, which is
done by electricity In one hundred
days all the facts relating to 75.OO0,COO
people will be tabulated.'

his shape and fine uniforms. His cour-
age is unquestioned for he is the only

who had the courage to condemn the

out by all fair minded witnesses. The
point of it all is that the insurrectos do
not represent ehe archipelago nor the

IS THE FILIPINO BRAvE2

Every now and then we are regaled
by EXPLANATIONS in the copperhead
press about the bravery Of the Fill
pinos. Whenever. these rascally fell
lows manage to kill some of our men
by firing from behind trenches, from
tree tops, church towers and fences, we
are told that the insurgents fight des-
perateIy.
Let the truth be looked for, and it
will be discovered that the Filipinos
have made not single stand that en-
titles them to the credit of having
fought braveiy. In every instance they
have fought from cover, and when
pushed have turned tail and fed. As
runners they beat jack rabbits out of
sight. They are guerrillas without
guerrilla courage. They sneak into
cover and for a few rounds do US dam
age, killing brave men who assault and
follow up.
But when has any one heard of
charge by Filipino regiment? Who
ever heard of them gaining or taking
position on the double quick, or Of
were turned to the foe?
When in all the war have they stood
their ground except when there was a
river between them and the bows in
blue, or they were temporarily safe be-
hind trenches. In most cases these
protectives of the Filipinos have blind
bitches leading to the rear for escape
How many Filipinos alive and kicking
have we ever found in these trenches?
When, where and how did the Filipinos
ever defend a trench. a fertilization or
shelter against a. charge? Fact is that
these it-by-night warriors are the
most arrant towards.
They fight as towards do, under cover
of white flags. under shelter of hospi-
tai colors and behind women and chill
dren. They burrow in the earth and
when a bluecoated company charges
them they scatter like down from a
thistle. Very different are most other
peoples in warfare. Even the savages
of Africa met the British in the open
and fought bravely If savagely. The
Dervishes Of the Valley of the Nile
stood to their guns against the English
as soldiers should and lost as brave men
sometimes do.
But these Malay rascals in Luzon are
sneaking fighters; rather clever sharp
shooters from rest and cover and
they know how to construct shelters:
they are despicable because they abuse
the flag of truce: they are cowardly
because they fight from the brush and
then run, when by making stand they
might win some admiration for pluck
and valor.
Talk of the courage of the Filipino
soldier-why he does not know the
meaning of the word. He is capable Of
great endurance. He can live on a
handful of rice a day: he can assassi-
nate from safe shelter, and he can run
as no other semi-savage can.
