GDl0NETS FOR PHILIPPINES
AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS DESIRE
TO REMAIN.
About one-tenth OF the Soldiers Are
Willing to Try Their Luck In the
Islands.

Washington, D. c., March 12.-The
following is an extract from a letter of
an officer in Manila to an officer in the
war department:
Extract from a letter from Major
Theodore Sternberg, paymaster, United
States volunteers, dated Manila, Janu-
airy %, 1899:
Il wish you would call the attention
of the president and secretary of war
to this: There is not less than 10 per
cent of the volunteers who honestly
wish to remain in these islands and
make their homes here and engage in
agriculture, numbering and mining.
From every point Of vantage this should
be encouraged, unless America means
to haul down its flags and sneak home.
The time will come when every Amer
lean will recognize the value of these
islands. Take but one item, cattle
thrive here; it is the finest stock coun-
try 1 ever saw. The Orient can be
supplied with beef from here. Now
these soldiers wish to be discharged
here with travel pay. This viii be their
capital. Those who are in earnest viii
and can do anything in reason to prove
ii. l believe they would be willing TO
serve out a two years service by trans
fer to the regular army They would,
many OF them, prefer TO De mustered
out here with nothing, rather than be
compelled to go to the states to be
mustered out. There are also many reg
ular soldiers enlisted under order forty.
These men think they should be paid
travel if they intend settling in these
islands. Now, all of this is based upon
the idea that the United States viii
retain some sort of interest in these
islands. Knowing the yalue of the
pioneer, say deliberately that each of
these plain soldiers, young, vigorous
and used to this climate, by remaining
here, viii be OF inestimable value to
our country. The only way to Amer
icanize these islands is the example of
American pioneers engaged in making
homes for themselves. l take no stock
in the cry that white men cannot work
in the tropics. They can, when work
ing for themselves. There are nc
healthier people than the English and
Scotch who have lived here for many
years. At all events, the government
has here now the cream of American
young manhood who is anxious to try
the thing.
81 know the regulars. as a rule, don't
want to hold these islands, because
they prefer stations in the states.
know the majority of the volunteers
are homesick and so color their opin-
ions But I had rather die here than
see the flag come down, and if I was
twenty years younger 1 would make
my home on a farm here"

MCKINLEY AS a Jockey.

philadelphia Saturday Evening Post)
1t is difficult to imagine that the dig
nified president of the United States, Will
liam Mckinley, ever rode racehorse. but
one who saw him do it tells this story:
. Ihave known William Mckinley since
he was a youngster. And he won horse
race from me at Youngstown, o., when he
time l was dealing in fast horses. and L
had promising little runner entered at
the oYungstown fair. | offered young Nc
kinney 81 to ride my horse, and promised
to give him S. more if he could ride him
to win.
'''rhe boy was willing enough. but be-
fore he would consent he went to secure
his fathers permission. His father said
the boy could do as he pleased, and he
decided to try it. Well. the long and
short of it was that Mckinley won the
race, and his luck seems to have stayed
with him, for, so far as j can see, he has
won every race he ever entered"

tiers the pretty women who ornament
opera boxes, can hardly overlook the
fact that pretty bare hands no longer
show Slittering nails at the finger tips,
that the immaculate fairness Of Threats

nearly every woman has wonderfully
bright hair.
Well, it simply amounts to this, IN
naturally polished finger nails are no
longer regarded as significant of good
taste. AS much care as formerly is
spent on the manicure, but TO show
wonderfully rosy nails with snow white
and beautifully clear curved tops, is
the aim of the well-bred beauty. Pink
finger nails, as pink cheeks, bright
eyes and shining hair, indicate health,
and health is one of the highest forms
of beauty, so if your nails are pale and
blOtched with white bruises, the refuge

is a species of lacquer painted on the

a pretty pinkness that makes the top

contrast.

liberty and patriotism, it is an agent
for almost destroying the texture and

PLANTS FROM THE ORIENT.
New Varieties to Be Tried In United
States.

Washington, March 12.-Professor S.
a. KnaU,se, the special commissioner
of Secretary Wilson to the Orient to
investigate the availability of eastern
plants and seeds for common use in
this country and to secure specimens
of those that are valuable, has sub
mitted his preliminary report summing
up the work. There are a number of
seeds and plants selected for eXperi-
ment with a view to common usage
here. and they include persimmons,
bamboo, japanese plums, pears, cam
phor trees and hagi. All the 9ersim-
mon and pear seedlings have reached
here, and have been distributed to the
experiment stations, and the rest will
soon be at hand for experiment. AS to
the Dersimmons, Professor Knapp
found very few varieties sufficiently
tested 10 be worthy of Introduction. A
few, however. were secured. The per-
simmon, the report shows, is the most
universally used of all the fruits in
japan. This makes the first imoorta-

ENDLESS CHAIN" SCHEMES.
Novelties Sell Rapidly Without Hav-
ing to Hire a Store.

In number of cities a profitable bust
ness is being made out of the endless
chain" scheme, by which so many
churches bought organs with the dimes
received from begging letters sent to
friends, to be resent to a number OF
others and continued by them to grow
ing chain. The companies offer novelties
in jewelry. knives toilet articles. and
even shoes to be bought on this plan.
They issue printed tickets. each having
half dozen coupons, emitting those who
buy them to a knife, or whatever article
may be offered. as soon as they have sold
the six accompanying tickets among their
friends.
The average ticket is % GEMS. and as
the next six ticket-buyers each sell six
more tickets ard return $40 before re-
ceiving the novelty. the chain will a.
ready have grown 10 forty-Ihree persons.
Starting a few chains in this way. the
companies are soon kept busy supplying
their customers by mail or at a given ad-
dress. for the number of selling tickets is
constantly being multiplied by six.
To keep up the interest, an extra article
is offered to those selling the tickets
within a month. An idea of the growth
of a chain may be had from the fact that
if d company commences business by
selling tickets to twenty-five persons the
amount of receipts after the series Of
tickets were resold five times would be
1874.
