Filipinos can be brought to that intellectual

Filipinos can be brought to that intellectual
level which will qualify them for self-gov-
ernment. To talk in the states to the con-
trary is simply the veriest nonsense. 1t Is
gratifying to state that Superintendent At
kinson is pushing night schools as well as
day schools, md that the Filipnos are TAX
ing a genuine interest in the progress of
the work. 1t is amusing to see the little
Filipino boys and girls, with their books un-
der their arms. trudging along to school.
The Americans are reversing the methods
of the Spanish with respect to education.

now is that the lack of education renders
the best of them purely mechanical as
clerks, without the slightest originality or
the power to take the initiative in any case.
This fact can be remedied in time. The
general lack Of education among them was
quite surprise to me. The great mass Of
the Filipinoo know simply nothing. and the
talk among some in the United States that
they are now qualified for self-government
has no foundation in fact.
1T will be many years before they are suf-
ficiently educated to be intrusted with the
to say that they are intensely eager for an
education. and the night schools in Manila,
which have already been opened by Super
intendent Atkinson, are filled with Filipinos.

Fine Timber Abounds

DYED FLOWERS,

Changes In Natures Color Scheme by
Chemists and Florists.
From the New York Sun.
The green carnation had a very brief day
and the general public looked askance at it,
There seemed to be universal feeling that
the dyed flower was an offense against the
principles of esthetics and that admira-
ton Of the floral monster indicated un-
wholesome degeneracy of taste. Recently,
however. French scientists have taken up
the artificial coloring Of flowers, and a
series of lectures has been given at the
Sorbonne by a French chemist who has
made a speciality of this particular SUBJ
ject.
According to this professor the problem of
coloring flowers by artificial means has for
several centuries past interested chemists
In 17G9 scientist named Magnal caused a
sensation by producing tuberoses of a most
exquisite pink, ordinary tuberoses being
colored by plunging them into the juice Of
phylotagne. Some twenty-five years later
Comparett. a scholar of Padua, made him
self famous and added distinction to the
last days of his town by furnishing for the
decoration of churches and cemeteries won-
derful wreaths Of black conyolvulus. Hav-
Ing made a fortune he at last agreed to
tell his secret and declared that he had
colored the flowers by putting their stems
In common ink. The scheme didn't work
when tried by the townsfolk so the esteem
ed Paduan was apparently liar OF parts
as well as maker of the famous Paduan
convolvulf.
Boissin in 1910 obtained marvellous hya-
cinths and lilies colored by chemical means
and since then not only chemists but prac-
ucal florists have made frequent use OF
dyes IN the coloring Of flowers. Camel.ias
grown in earth mixed with rosin show fine
veins Of coral red on their white petals.
Earth mixed with iron filings will also
color some flowers blue and pansies take
on wonderful hues by the dipping OF their
stems In certain anlline dyes.
Some of these unnaturaliy tinted MOWERS
are DANGEROUS and the green carnation was
suppressed by the municipal laboratory OF
Paris. because scientists said that the odoi
nf the flower had poisonous enects.

THE COAL MINERS STRIKE.
Should Bo AN object Lesson TO illustrate

Another president has issued q proc
lamation-John Mitchell, president Of
the mine workers, has declared u
strike--li9,00 miners are called on
TO cease work for their taslimasters
until they can receive at least pnr-
tial justice, The great strike has
commenced. What the end will be
only God knows, There viii be suf-
fering aTl hunger, sickness and sud-
den death, sullen and angry men,
famished women and little children
crying for bread And all for what ?
That one man may be able to work
for another man and make a decent
living thereby. The miners are not
asking for charity, they ask for hon
est work and fair wages, they ask
reasonable protection for their loved
ones; they demand small share Of
the abounding prosperity, they ask u
little Of the wealth their hands have
earned, Why should one man be al
lowed to hold u thousand other men
on the very ragged edge of despair?
Why should one man have more than
he can possibly spend and thousand
men see their wives in want and their
children starving? Does the good God
give n million to one Of his children
and penny piece 10 n thousand
others? No, thousand times no. Our
God is good and kind, just and merci-

where you have not sown. Man-made
laws work all the injustice. God
gave the coul mines to all his chill
dren for their comfort and conve-
nience. A few have stolen the joint
inheritance and have msuppropriated

control of the mines than that they
should own the mighty rivers and the
boundless ocean. The Almighty per-
