rILIPINOs on THE STAGE.
Give . Fine Exhibition of AcrObatic
Feats and Juggling.

Seattle people may not have an exag-
serated idea about the fighting abilities
of the natives of the Philippine islands.
but those who attended the Third Avenue
fheater last night came 10 the conclusion
that the Filipinos possess wonderful dex-
terity in acrobatic feats. balancing. slack
wire walking and juggling. With all the
boosted eleverness OF japanese and Hin
doc performers, they must indeed be
clever to surpass the Filipinos.
The performers last night are a band
OF professional circus people from the
Philippines. That is their vocation. as 1t
has been OF their ancestors for genera

or two of them can speak English at ALL
though they speak Spanish well. They
all belong TO the Tagalo tribe. They
are fond of bright colors. and the en-
seHble OF costumes. after each Filipino
man and woman buys one to suit their
respective tastes, is startling in the ex-
IRENE. A little piece OF gilt or fancy
colored material is an omninresent fac

about in the manner of the ''chappes. "
One of the features of the performance
was the introduction of a little Filipino

several clever feats.
About the performance itself IL Is
enough to say that such an exhibition OF
pyramid building, tumbling. etc, has sell
dom been seen In Seattle, even with
circus which carries twice as many per-
formers. Prof lister showed some feats
of balancing and Juggling with his feet
that were marvellous. He was as clever
with his feet as many other jugglers are
with their hands. He has been travelling

Eight Filipino men built pyramids for five
minutes with a rapidity which astonished
the audience and brought forth much
applause.
The little Filipino boy was christened

time he came on he was loudly applaud

fields, taken by w. Fl. Lille. who was n

READING OF BOOKS.
Wedding Out All the Trash Possible In
Self DE fense.

The ability to appreciate or the will
ingness to study book, great pic
ture or even a great play is rare, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. If the prosperity
of art OF literature depended upon this
cultivated minority art and literature
would be sorry businesses. That was
the fact not so many generations ago,
and poets and painters starved and
begged and truckled to unworthy pa
irons" all over Europe 1t is doubtful
il the proportion of strong minds has
greatly increased since those unhappy
days. There has been, however, an
enormous increase in education, and
the reading, the play-going and the
picture-seeing habits have grown ac-.
cordingly. None will pretend that that
is not a good thing for art and litera-
ture, and no one but dyspeptic die,
tator would contend that these new
readers must read the things which
the dictator considered best for them.
The people who read for education
will read only so fast as they can as
simulate. They will, perforce, confine
themselves to a very small part OF
the printed output, and will, in self
defense, weed out all the trash posi-
ble. They will also read those books
which appeal to their own minds and
will speedily learn to escape being
lured into the perusal of books which
are dry husks to them, no matter how
vital they may be to book review
ers This class of readers is small.
1t is the intellectual aristocracy. I'm
doubtedly it is fine thing to have this
caste increased. Children should be
taught how to read books and that
their education stops only with their
death-bed.

Debilitated Energies Do Not Require the

A professor in one of the many med.

there is no need of buying and swal-

that spinach is richer in iron, which Ii
the basis of most tonics, than even the
yolk of an egg, while the latter con-
tains more than beef. The ordinary
dish of spinach and poached egg is

hansen, in his voyage in the Fran,
had no occasion to resort to the medi-
cine chest. The concentrated form OF
all the fruits and vegetables that his

the first instance on record of the es-
