Congressional Action Unnecessary.
BY wiping out slavery in the Philippines
President Mckinley will simply carry out
the thirteenth amendment of the Consti-
tuition, which forbids slavery not only in
the United States. but in ANY place subject
to their jurisdiction" No further action
by Congress will be necessary.
Slavery in the Philippines was just as il
legal under Spanish control as it is under
ours today. By an ancient decree made
by King Philip ii three hundred years ago.
all slaves in the islands were set free and
no more were to be taken in the future.
either by Spanards or natives. Child
slaves were to be free upon becoming
twenty years old, and those above twenty
at the time of the decree were to serve five
years longer before gaining freedom. Any
slave before reaching the limit prescribed
could purchase his liberty by paying a
price determined by the Governor or the
Bishop. In spite of this prohibition slavery
has ever since existed in the islands. The
Spanish Governor OF Sulu just previous to
the war allowed his Moro scout home
within the Spanish capital and permitted
him to keep there several wives and forty
slaves. This was done to humor this ma
tive, whose services were valuable during
expeditions against his people.

White and Brown Bread.
Crrom the London ChronicIc.l

Recently there appeared in St. Bartho' o.
news Hospital reports very interesting
communication on the relative dig sti-
bility of white and brown bread by Drs.
Lauder. Brunton, and Tunnicliffe.
While the authors admit that regarded
from purely chemical point of view the
nutritiye value OF brown bread is gra later
than white, they maintain this is not so
when considered from the physiological
side. The authors point out that it is alb
surd to take the mere chemical compost
ton as an index of the value of food
stuff. as "a stick of charcoal, the atmos-
pheric air. a little water, some sea sllt
contain all the elements OF a typical diet. -
Hence Importance attaches not on to the
composition. but to the way in which the
various constituents are combined so TIA
they can be readily and easily as5imilated.
The conclusions that the authors come
to are mainly that, although brown bread.
both on account OF its large pnIc,utiga Of
mineral matters and fat-fCru-iag cos titu-
euts, IS chemically superior to wH.te
bread. yet these constituents do not so
readily pass into the blood as is the ca e
of white bread, and that weight for weight
white bread is more nutritious than
brown. In special cases where there Is 4
deficiency OF mineral matter. and 6spe-
cially in cases Of growing children, wael
larger quantities of these are required Cor
production on bone and tissue. brown
bread may be useful, but even in these
cases il these mineral salts. and especial y
salts CT calcium. are supplied by otler
means, white bread is preferable 10

&C. W. Stevens, in the London Nail)
To the nerveIessness of the Bombay ma
tive one race furnishes an except!on-the
Parsee. The Parsee. as his name tells
you, comes from Persia, whence he was
prosecuted for worshiping fire. Perse-
cuted races develop their own virtues and
their own faculties: and now under tie
British peace. the Parsee Gourishes eX-
ceedingiy. He is the Jew of the East;
leaves other people to make commodities
while he makes money. Banking ag ncy
commission, brokerage middiemans p.o-
fits are the Parsee's Golconda. He has
perceived the advantages wherewith a Eu-
ropean education equips him for these
pursuits. and has sedulously educated
himself into the most European OF all
Asiatics. When the young farsec spezks
of going home he means not Persia
where he would hardly be received with
enthusasm-but England.
You can see it in the dress of two gen.
eraticns. The elderly Parsce wears his
shirt outside his cerise trousers. and on
his head a weird plum m-color structure ke
Siamese twin of hat that you can put
on either way up. The young Parsee
wears, as a rule. a short frockcoat but
toned over white duck trousers and on
his head linoleum arrangement, some-
thing between Prussian grenadier and a
fy-paper man. He is shocked al our de-
NAL of representative institutions to In
dia. conceiving that if they were granted
he would be representative. and forget
ting that the Mussulmans would stra ght-
way push him into the sea and take his
rupees unto themselves.
For the Parsee's rupees are very many.
Sir Jamshdji Jijibhoy, the richest, Is
worth about $4,000, coo. There are many
others. So greenly flourish the Parsses
that they have nearly filled up al the ell

Bombay, and soon there VIII be no place
for the Briton. While the rich Parsee
lives in an airy bungalow. English women
have to hire land and live thereon in

how to get he also knows how to give.
