WOMEN cF THE PHILIPPINES
Their Redeeming Feature Is Their
 Personal Cleanliness.

Their Reckoning Feature Is Their
 Personal Cleanliness.
 The aristoeratic Philippine matTon and her daughters indulge in no greater bodily exercise, If they can help it, than that required for driving or shopping. But the peasant woman shares her husbands work, whatever it may be, laboring at the blow behind an ungainiy carabao (water-buffalo) in the paddy-feld, or helping to pole a huge lorcha, or cocoanut raft, up or down the river, besides attending to her domestic cares. And I take pleas ure in saying that, whatever it's pro- prietor's rank or station, the native Philippine nipa hut is invariably a marvel of neatness and cleanliness as 10 its interior; far superior in this re- spect to the average dwelling-house. be it that of merchants clerk or that of the governor-ge general. So far as the latter are concerned, a decent servant girl, such as are employed tn America and England, would not be content to remain in one two days. Hundreds of girls are employed in the great cigar factories, and others in the convents labor to weave the far-famed pima lace of the Philippines, several at time squatting on the floor around a single frame, picking and manipulating with deft fingers the infnitesimally delicate fibers. Sometimes they work for months to complete single mantilla or handkerchief. These native women are rarely employed by the European residents as domestic servants, except in the capacity of lady's maid or enIl- dren's nurse. and even these positions are often occupied by boys. They are very unreliable and the utter absence of the sense of gratitude, so character istic of the entire Philippine race, ren- ders it an almost hopeless and very ex- asperating task to attempt to tralr them as servants. Their only redeem ing feature is their sense of absolute personal cleanliness, but In spite oi this many European women prefer tc go to the expense and trouble of i'm porting a Chinese anna from Hons Kong or Canton rather than to intrusi her children to the care of native girl; although when in her own ca pacity as mother, the Filipina, so faz as observation goes. leaves nothing to be desired.

WATCHES IN THE PAwNsHops
Always the First Articles to Re Pledged
 in Distress

Always the First Articles to Be Pledged
 in Distress.
 Most people suppose" said down town pawnbroker, the other evening, according to the Baltimore News, that when a man goes broke the first thing he thinks of pawning is his dress suit, but that's not so. While there might be some that do this, they are few and far between. By long odds, the great majority of those in distress first put up their watches. In a big city like this, with clocks on every hand, watch is almost an unneces- sary luxury on the street, and so this is the first article pawned. Watches are, so to speak, a drug in the pawn shop. We get so many of them that we often wonder where they come from. You might think that we never would have occasion to lend money on wedding rings, but you would be wrong, for we have several of them now A woman must be in distress to pledge her wedding ring, and yet it is often done. We have. .enga cement rings, too, but not so many in num- Der as wedding rings. Sometimes men pawn engagement rings We simply take that as a sign that they have broken an engagement, but when 8 woman comes to us with one of them we know she needs money. I've made quite study of pawnshops," contin- ued the broker, .and I find that in the majority of cases the dress of the per- son asking for loan on some article has great deal to do with the amount received. If the pawnbroker sees 2 well-dressed person in front of him be will naturally argue that he or she Is little short of funds for the time be- ing, but will return and take the article out of pledge in a few days. If, on the contrary, the person asking loan be poorly dressed, there is little chance that he or she will get fair amount on it. In the latter case the pawn broker usually offers only what he thinks the article will bring at private or public sale. with the amount of his interest deducted"

-Four Famous Statues.

-Four Famous Statues.
 The most famous statues in history are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnon at Thebes, and of these the last is tho most remarkable, in consequence of its property of emitting sounds when it's lips were touched by the rays of the rising sun so that 1t seemed to greet the coming day. It was originally q portrait model of King Amenophis III. and was one of pair of statues be- tween sixty and seventy feet high. carved out of single blocks of sand stone and transported from the quar- ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in the place where it now stands.
 Of statues not so well known the most remarkable is that of Buddha at Nara, rear Kioto, in Japan. which was erected A. D. HOO. It is made of bronze, and is ffty-three feet six inches high and more than twenty eight feet broad across the shoulders. On it's head are 966 curls, and the im- age is surrounded by glory or halo seyenty-eight feet in diameter, on which sixteen images eight feet long are cast. Two smaller images, each twenty feet high, stand in front of the larger one. The total weight of metal in the main figure is about 450 tons, of which 800 pounds consist of gold.
 Long Range Firing.
 No one who reads about the des- perate fighting going on in these long range, quick-fring days could have | failed to be amazed at the small num- Der of resulting casualties. As mat ter of fact, the Bring begins when the combatants are miles apart and ends before they can see the whites of each I others eyes. There is no hand d-to- hand" business as of yore. What kilI- ing is done is miscellaneous and acct~ dental. This is particuk -ly true with respect to the warfare now In progress in the Philippines. The fatalitiea among our troops mainly result from the fire of sharpshooters, who pick. 1 their victims off from the safe cov6rs of the jungle. The Filipinos have learned to protect themselves by kee~.I Ing out of range. Two or three ssyeral
