CiFT-CivINC AT EASTER.
Practice stiii Prevails aud Yer,
Pretty Custom.

The old habit of gift-giving at Easter
is still alive and 1t is the correct thing
that such gifts should be made by the
hands Of the donor. Some of these are
pretty and comparatively inexpen-
sive.
Book and magazine covers made OF
water color paper or art linen are
among the pretty and useful gifts. A
cover for a dictionary will serve as u
model. 1t was made OF white water
color paper of a light grade and used
on a pepper covered edition that vas
about five inches wide by six long. The
paper was first fitted to the covers OF
the dictionary and folded and creased
SO that the surface to be decorated WIS
plainly indicated. On one side was
painted a full cluster of forget-me-
nots. On the other was q smaller
spray. which occupied two-thirds OF
the space: the remaining third--just
in front OF the back--was tinted a del
icate gray, on which, In gilt, in fancy
lettering. was the word Dictionary"
Then the cover was again folded over
the volume and this time secured
with mucilage OF photographers paste.
Violets OIL any other blossom pre-
ferred could be used In place OF the
forget-me-nots as a decoration. When
linen is used in making book or maya
zine covers embroidery Is a better, more
satisfactory condition than painting.
Book marks are favorite Easter gifts
and generally hand painted on water
color paper, celluloid or ribbon. A
pretty one of the first material Is COM
posed Of two strips of the paper cut
exactly a~like-about an inch and three
quarters wide and five long. On the
center OF the under one Is a dainty lit
tie wash drawing; In the center OF the
upper one Is cut an oblong opening to
fit the drawing. and on the uncut sur
face Is delicately painted a bit OF red
and yellow foliage, such as appears In
early spring on some varieties OF trees
and shrubs. From between the ends
Of the pasted strips extend bits Of
fringed ribbon in either Of the Easter
colors-white. yellow or lavender.

ELECTRIC POWER.

Admiral Schley, in the course Of a
report to the u. S. Navy Department,
speaks very favorably of the use of
electricity as motive power for all
turrets. ammunition hoist, and auxil-
larry machines on board the Brooklyn
Briefly, Admiral Schley states that he
is of opinion that the use of electri-
city as a motive power for all turrets,
ammunition hoists, and all auxiliary
machines on board ship not in the en-
CINE rooms is desirable, and would in
crease efficiency. That the use of
steam for operating turrets makes ne
cessary great lengths of piping, and
produces almost insupportable heat in
the handling rooms; with electricity
this is avoided and greater celebrity is
accomplished; and that in the battle
of July the turrets controlled by
electricity did better and quicker work,
and were not so hot as those operated
by steam.

GERMAN SUGAR CROP.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-A deficit
in the German beet-sugar crop of at
least $4,000 tons is figured upon by
Uuited States Consul Diedrich, at Mag
deburg. He says that the backward
season resulted in the deficiency. A
number of manufacturers sold fully
one-haIf of their last years product at
very low prices before they realized
that there would be a shortage in ma
terial. and the end of November found
a number of factories closed on ac-
count of the difficulty in getting ma
terial.
All the old stocks of sugar in Europe
having run low, the market has been
stronger for some time with upward
prices. The estimate of the beet-sugar
crop for the world accepted in Ger
many as accurate, is 4,775,5S5 tons,
Germany leading with 1,S47,O1S tons,
and Cuba being set down as producing
800 900 tons, against 2,537,571 tons in
the previous season.

SURPRISING DISCOVERY.
That New York Is Nearer Manila Than
Mare Island

That New York Is Nearer Manila Than
Mare Island
In connection with the dispatch Of
sailors on the Yosemite to relieve some
of Dewey's men at Manila, the officers
of the Navy Department at Washing
ington discovered to their surprise that
Manila is nearer New York by water
than is Mare Island. 1t was proposed
to send the Yosemite around Cape
Horn to Mare Island, and there to take
up few hundred sailors to join Dewey
at Manila, the men being sent overland
from New York by the Pacific railways.
Upon measuring the distances, how
ever, it was found that from New York
to Mare Island was $4,000 miles via
Cape Horn, while the distance from
New York to Manila was only II, 900
miles Therefore the men will go
direct.

EXPERTS IN SPANISH.

THE POLICE OF MANILA.

One of the difficult problems that confronted
the Americans after the capture Of Manila was
the organization OF an effective police force.
The system inaugurated has been perfected
from time to time. and is such at the present
time as would do credit to any city OF the Orient
When it IS considered that here is encountered
people from every quarter OF the globe each
with his own peculiar ideas of law and of right
or wrong. Of custom and habit, the difficulties
encountered can be appreciated.
With the fall Of the city the native policemen,
and their officers too. flocked to the Americans
for protection. fearing :or their lives. The old
Guardia Civil is known and hated for the cruelty
and duplicity II exercised and practised while in
power This knowledge added to their fear
AT once. upon the entry Of the Americans. SOL
diers were ordered to different parts Of the city
The tall. sturdy boys in brown and blue, with
rife and cartridge belt seemed to inspire fear In
the native mird that the Spanish had not. They
knew the boys would shoot, they knew they
would face any number and the knowledge
added respect.
After few days a regiment was detailed for
provost-guard duty. The 18th Minnesota was
the one selected. A better selection could not
have been made.
For years crime had held sway in Manila In
nocent men had been shot without sembance of
trial. many murders were committed for State
or Church. robbery was rife and personal liber-
ties were held at naught. When a crime
committed the police looked not for the guilty
but for convenient person on whom to lay the
blame This the regiment had to contend
against. as we'll as the fact that they knew moth
ing of the language OF the customs.
That they did their duty is well known. and to
this regiment and its officers much Of the pres
