ent denominations to confuse the minds
of the people. I do hope that when we
send the missionaries we will decide
beforehand on one form Of Protestant
Christianity. Send only one type of
missionaries. The FIlipinos will then
have Catholic Christianity and Prot
estant Christianity presented to them,
so they can take their choice"
Continuing on the same line, Mr..
schurman says that I'VE have forty to
fifty tribes to civilize. and seven or
eight Of these tribes have some 100000
members each. On the Island Of Luzon
there is one tribe Of 100000 people
who speak one language as totally dis
tinct from the other languages as|
Spanish Is from English. Another tribe
on the same island, numbering about
100000 is as distinct from the others
in language and characteristics as they
are from the Spaniards themselves.
Then on the great Island of Mindanao,
there are many tribes that are entirely
different from each other. In the sulu
archipelago we come to another class
Of natives. about whose custom Of
slavery so much has been said recently.
These are all Mohammedans, while in
Luzon the natives are all Catholic
Christians.
The priests have ruled in Luzon so
long that their influence is widespread,
and the natives know Of no other form
Of Christianity. The Roman Catholic
Church has been established there for
800 years, and the archipelago was real
~ governed by the priests, and not by
the Spanish civil or military com
manders OF the s13,5OO,OOO raised on
the island annually, about 81 100000
was used for the church's support. We
must credit the church with having
done a great Geal Of good work among
the natives We must reckon with
these facts when we send missionaries
to the Philippines. We owe it to the
Fillpinos to give them the best in oui
religion as well as in our education"
Mr. schurman believes that the fight
ing in the Philippines is nearly over
and in this connection he makes a
statement that will be read with wide
interest. It Is this:
/ believe that many of those who
fought against the Americans were ami.
mated by the highest idea of loyalty
TO Independence. | think probably
Aguinaldo is one Of this class. and thai
he is an honest man.
He declares that only by actua
works and ocular demonstration will
the Filipinos be induced to rely upor
the word OF the Americans. "Conse
quently, l have urged IL upon Congress
and the president to set up civil govern
ment in the Philippines just as soon az
the military condition warrants It. a

without serious injury, and, wrapping

The Power of a Cyclone.

Careful estimates of the force of a

that makes the mightiest efforts of

A force fully equal to 473,000,0 900
horsepower was estimated as develop

about fifteen times the power that is

Laziness and Success.

'Laziness, said Mr.. Chipperly, sis
one of our besetting sins, and it is
quite possible that we may be very
lazy even when we are fully occupied.
How many of US pitch in for all we
know how, when we work, and how
many of US putter around the edges
and pick out the easy things and use
up the time on them, and fight shy all
the time Of the tough proposition that
somebody's got to tackle? That's the
question. There are more forms of
laziness than one.
mot only is procrastination the
thief of time" said Mr.. Graytop, cit
is the underminer of resolution. By
putting off we not only lose time, but
we get into a spongy, no-account, If
resolute state, which may become a
part of our habit in life. With this
way of doing things we may scrape
along from day to day, but that's all.
To succeed we must get at it; and as
getting at it is the opening wedge to
success in life, so keeping at it is the
battle that drives the wedge home"

A Brush With the Enemy.

MAN1LA.-Friday afternoon recon-
noitsring party of the 14th Infantry
came upon large body of the enemy
in the jungle near Camp Dewey. The
rebels were attacked and fell back upou
the main line of the insurgents. The
14th Infantry, the North Dakota vol
unteers and the 4th Calvary then en-
gagged, the enemy and drove them
toward the beach, where one of the
gunboats received them with a fusilade
from automatic Colt guns. The enc
my's loss is severe and they scattered
along the beach seeking cover from
the fire on the American.
Tho bodies of two members of the
California regiment were subsequently
found in the bush to the right of the
line. They had been shot to pieces
by the enemy. One of these bodies
was identified as that of Pvt. Abne-
pham, but the other has not yet been
identified
