The Sulu Islands

which has surprised even the misguided in
surgents. The truest kindness to them will
be swift and effective defeat of their
present leader. The hour of Victory will
be the hour of clemency and reconstruc-
ton.
No effort will be spared to build up the
waste places desolated by war and by long
years of miSgovernment. We shall moi
wait for the end of strife to begin the
beneficent work. We shall continue, as we
have begun, to open the schools and the
churches, to set the courts in operation. to
foster industry and trade and agriculture
and in every way in our power to make
these people whom Providence has brought
within our jurisdiction feel that it is their
liberty and not our power, their welfare
and not our gain. We are seeking to en-
hance. Our flag has never waved over any
community but in blessing. I believe the
Fflipinos will soon recognize the fact that

worldwide journey to their shores.
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Some embarrassment in administration
has occurred by reason Of the peculiar
status which the Han allan Islands at pres
ent occupy under the joint resolution of
annexation approved July 7, 1895 While
by that resolution the Republic of Hawaii
as an Independent nation was extinguished,
its separate sovereignty destroyed, and its
property and possessions vested in the
United States. yet a complete establishment
for its government under our system was
not effected. While the municipal laws of
the islands not eracted for the fulfllment
of treaties and not inconsistent with the
Joint resolution or contrary to the Consti-
tuition of the United States or any of its
treaties remain in force, yet these laws
relate only to the social and internal affairs
of the Islands, and do not touch many sub
Jects Of importance which are OF a broader
national character. For example the Ha-
waiian Republic was divested of all title to
the public lands in the islands and is not
only unable to dispose of lands to settlers
desiring to take up homestead sites but is
without power to give complete title in
cases where lands have been entered upon
under lease or other conditions which carry
with them the right to the purchaser
lessee. or settler to have full title granted
to him upon compliance with the eondi-
tions prescribed by law or by his particular
agreement of entry.
3 Questions of doubt and difficulty have
also arisen with reference to the collection
Of tonnage tax on vessels coming from
Hawaiian ports; with reference to the
status of Chinese in the islands their en-
trance and exit therefrom; as to patenfs
and copyrights: as to the register of yes
sells under the navigation laws; as to the
necessity Of holding elections in aceorda nee
with the provisions of the Hawaiian stat
utes for the choice of various off1cers ana
as to several other matters of detail touch
ing the interests both of the island and of
the Federal Government.
BY the resolution of annexation the Presf-
dent was directed to appoint Eve commits
sioners to recommend to Congress such
legislation concerning the islands ~ they

Hope and Effort.
Hope is of the valley; Effort stands
Upon the mountain top, facing the

Hope dreams of dreams made true
and great deeds done:
Effort goes forth, with t0iling feet and
hands,
To attain the far-off, sky-touched table,
lands
OF great desire; and until the end is
Looks not below, where long strife
begun
In pleasant fields, met torrents, rocks
and sands.

her glass
And shows the wondrous things which

Wait not for destiny; wait not at all;
This leads to failures dark and dim
morass;

And staff in hand, strive up the mount

Mendfng Clothes for other People.
Business and professional women who
nave but little time to look after their
clothes, would be glad to secure the
services of skilled mender. Men would
also be glad to avail themselves OF such
person. The woman who will sew on
buttons and hooks and eyes, and darn
stockings and underclothing, is sure OF
constant work, many customers and
regular compensation. A bright young
girl In an eastern city, who was sudden>
ly compelled to assist in adding to the
family finances, sent little notes to her
friends, and also to her acQuaintances,
notifying them Of her desire to under
take the charge of their skirts-to keep
them free from spots and dust, and to
attend to the facings and bindings. It
was not long before she was able to
keep two women at work under her
supervision, and the financial result
from her plucky venture was entirely
satisfactory.-Ladies' Home Journal.

A famous surgeon gave to the writer
the following simple method to extract
splinter from a child's hand. A wide
necked bottle is filled with steaming
hot water nearly two-thirds up to the
neck. Then place the mouth of the
bottle over the sore where the splinter
has entered. pressing 1t firmly over the
skin to create suction. The steam from
the hot water will allay the inflamma-
tfon. and at the same time assist the
suction Of the bottle to withdraw the
splinter. Usually the steam and sue
tion will draw out splinter that has
been driven in so deep that nothing else
than severe cutting CT the flesh would
ordinarily accomplish.-Wisconsi Agri-

Exhausting Attentions.


1t is impossible for a child to generate
the great amount of vitality which it's
rapid growth requires, and at the same
time furnish amusement for the whole
family, If not for the whole neighbor-
hood
A minister's heart was once rejoiced
over the coming CT an heir; the hearts
of his parishioners were also overjoyed,
for this was the first baby ever born in
the parsonage. But the little one paid
dearly for the honor, for It's numerous
callers nearly shattered its young
nerves.
The saddest case of which have ever
heard was of child who was taken by
rail from California to the extreme East.
During the long trip the passengers
wanted some amusement, and, as the
love for babies is universal, they turned
for entertainment to this little one, talk
ing with it, taking turns in holding It,
tossing it up, and attracting it's atten-
tion in every possible way.
The child soon commenced to show
signs of illness, which grew more alarm
ing every day. When the mother
reached her destination she consulted a
physician, but it was too late The
child died and the doctor declared that
it had been simply worn out
The passengers had robbed the little
life of every particle of it's nervous force
and it has succumbed, martyr to their

A Better Way.
Selected.

The time for teaching little girl
sewing by giving her dish towels to hem
and sheet-seams to overhaul is passed
better way has been found, and she
learns happily, not grudgingly, and
with tears. The needle is no longer
pushed with painful effort through
rough crash and stiff sheeting, but slips
easily through the bits Of old linen and
muslin that are designed to make some
thing pretty to stock the little needle
Woman's doll wardrobe or bed, or her
own small tea table. She is using her
imagination as well as her fingers, and
happy indeed she may be. Is there any
comparison, in point Of interest, be-
tween big dish towel and a dainty
little one for play dishes-a small OBJ
long cut from the whole portion of a
big glass towel and hemmed neatly?
A little girl will like to learn to darn
linen if the worn dinner napkin she is
set to work on is afterwards nicely
washed and ironed, and becomes one OF
her own little tablecloths. And could
hemming fail to be alluring If the whole
parts OF another old napkin are cut into
squares for small fingers to make into
doll napkins? From pieces of old hand
kerchiefs may be cut squares to be
fringed for doilies, useful on doll tables
and toy bureaus. In fitting up these
bureaus with dainty knicknacks little
girl will employ many scrap Of lace

Table Decorations.

Flower Vases for the Table.-The day
Of heavy floral decorations of massed
green and ribbon bows has passed, and
simplicity is now the desirable effect.
The flowers which decorate the table
are now arranged in tall, slender Bo-
hemian glass vases, extremely effective
in shaded green and pink. Two Of
these vases are placed at either end
OF the table and are charming filed with
long-stemmed, pink rosebuds or pink
tulips. To complete this arrangement,
in the center of the table is a low jardi-
Mere of pink Bohemian glass, made
with an adjustable zinc lining, filled
with moss and overgrown with delicate
ly colored and sweet scented sweet peas,
or waving mass of pink poppies shad-
ing to deep red.
For special occasions, when elaborate
decorations are desired, there may be
festooned about the table, giving a
charming effect against the white CLOTH
and if one lives near where it grows, the
diningroom may be trimmed with it
Also
Cards to indicate the place at which
each guest will sit are infinite in variety
and hostess strives to make them as
attractive looking and origina. as pos
sible-often they are only little punches
Of flowers or tiny basket filled with
wee blossoms to which a card is at
tached.
If one has any talent for water-color
painting, charming little sketches may
decorate the cards, which will be very
acceptable souvenirs to be carried
away.

CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT

CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.
Now il anyone has an easy time
In this world of push and pull,
It is not the boy of the family, y
For his hands are always full.
I'd like to ask who fills the stove?
Where is the girl that could?
Who brings in water, who lights the
fire, :gEE
And splits the kindling wood?
And who is it that cleans the walks,
After hours of showing?
In summer who keeps down the weeds
By diligently hoeing?
And who must harness the faithful
horse,
When the girls would ride about?
And who must clean the carriage?
The boy, you'll own, no doubt.
And who does the many other things
Too numerous to mention?
The boy is the general uciIlty man."
And really deserves a pension!
Friends, just praise this boy sometimes,
When he does his very best;
And don't always want the easy chair
When he's taking a little rest.
Don't let him always be the last
To see the new magazine;
And sometimes let the boy be heard,
AS well as to be seen
That boys are far from perfect,
Is understood by all;
But they have hearts, remember,
For men are boys grown TALL
And when boy has been working
/ His level best for days,
1t does him good, l tell you,
To have some hearty praise.
He's not merely a combination
OF muddy boots and noise,
And he likes to be looked upon
AS one of the family joys.
