GRIM GARRoTE OF SPAIN.

Thirty-nine men have been put to
death by means of a murderous look
ing affair now in the possession OF the
State Historical society of Minnesota.
Nobody knows how many more would
have been killed by 1t had 1t not been
for the American administration of
affairs in the city of Manila. 1t is a
garrote which was brought by Major
l.. S. Bean from Manila and presented
to the society.
Accompanying the gift is a list Of
the people who have been put to death
by the cruel affair How many OF them
deserved death, even in humane form,
is something probably never to be re-
vealed Some of those who were known
to have been killed by it. however,
were officially reported as dying from
other than natural causes, so that the
history of the instrument OF death
might show that it had been as un-
just as 1t was cruel.
The word garrote comes from the
SP"hASn NOlN 5dild, a CLAW, OF tdiOu.
And truly 1t is claw of awful power,
for when once the culprit Is seated
upon the rude piece of board with his
back to the black standard. II takes
but few twists of the long, BRASS
mounted lever to cause death. The
death Is precisely what the execution
er wishes to make it--slow, and pro-
longed in IFS pain. or practically in.

The lever is bar of iron or steel
about two feet in length with brass
knobs at either end. II is attached to
what is called fast travelling screw.
a screw with peculiar thread which
permits very rapid movement. The
neck of the doomed party is placed be-
tween the two bars of brass-lined
steel. third piece swings out when
the neck is inclosed and is then drawn
back and fastened with a strong pin
so that the neck is fast In a square OF
brass. The end of the screw passes
through the back of the brass and
strikes the neck just at the base OF the
brain.

SOME PORTO RTcAN NEEDS.

When Porto Rico was ceded TO the
United states, we took over with IL
the responsibility of providing a
government for the people OF the is
land; and the problem of how to raise
the money for this purpose was pre-
sented TO the ways and means commit
tee OF the house of representatives.
After a careful investigation of tie
subject Gen. Davis, the present mill
tary governor, has estimated that the

amount he proposes to use 100000 for
the construction Of school-houses and
in the establishment of schools, and
100000 for the construction and i'm
provement OF highways. The balance
Is to be used In defraying the expenses
OF civil government. To start Porto
RICO on the way u progress Is not an
easy matter, and will involve the out

and $4,000 full-blooded negroes. AS
the superficial area of the island Is &C.
timated at $3.50 to 1850 square miles
Porto Rico is clearly one OF the most
densely poulated portions OF the globe.
One-third of the population is made
up OF oaupers, and the great majority
OF the people are dependent upon their
daily wages for support The wages
of the common field hands range from
thirty-fve to fifty cents a day. native
money; /. e., from twenty-one TO thirty
cents day American money. OF the
total population of Porto Rico not
more than 12h per cent. can read and
write the Spanish language, and less
than one-tenth of per cent. can reaL
and write the English language. Prior
to the cession Of Porto Rico TO the
United States, not a single building
was ever constructed as a school
house Under the Spanish rule, there
were excuses for schools at various
places; but they were in rented build
ings, and the schools were conducted
in manner that made them OF little
benefit TO the people. To make mat
ters worse, this beautiful island was
visited, on August 8, 1899, by tropi-
cal terror, which was particularly de-
struetiye on the eastern and southern
coasts and in the interior. Yabucoa
was made heap Of ruins; the old
port and town OF Arroyo were practi-

done at Ponce. The coffee and cane
crops were greatly damaged, and in
some parts OF the island entirely
ruined. Between 1000 and 1000 per-

A REJUyENATED PALESTINE.

People who expect Zionism to be the
means Of riding Europe OF the Jewish
pauper element, or Of converting Pal
estine into a dumping ground for the
Ghetto, will find themselves sorcly
mistaken. We simply have in mind
that Palestine shall no longer be a
vast asylum or huge hospital for the
broken-down and decrepit, but hope
that 1t may become a place where the
brain and the muscle shall have free
scope to develop. A new life shall
spring up In the old soil OF Palestine.
The small leayen of Hellenism which
was thrown two thousand years ago
into the Semitic world has produced
the greatest change In the religious
conceptions OF mankind. What would
be brought back 10 Palestine, there to
work again as leaven, but upon a
new life, starting with different ideals?
What great revolution for mankind
has this movement still In store? Ly-
ing at the very point where three con-
Inents meet, no one can conjecture
what rejuvenated Palestine could
do toward the revival OF the east, its
commerce and its civilization. The
ball has been set rolling; nothing will
ever stop II. II may be checked for a
while, but the history OF Zionism dur
ing the last fifty years has shown un-
mistakably that II Is forward move
ment Beginning in the form OF a
charitable work for Palestinlan Jews,
IL soon expanded into the colonization
OF Palestine with Jews from other
countries; and 1t now seems to be be-
coming the aim Of the whole race OF
Israel to found permanent home In
Palestine. Started by a few phllan-
thropists OF small section Of the
globe. II has now become a great ma
tional movement, resting firmly upon
the masses. 1t will henceforth be an
abiding factor in the destinies OF
Judaism; and II Is sure to lead to one
OF the grandest episodes In the evolu-
tion OF mankind. For "the law shall
again go forth from Zion and the

DIAMONDS IN THE TEETH.

Not every woman could afford dia-
mond-studded teeth, but it seems in
credible that any woman not fit sub
ject for lunatic asylum would want
to exhibit iewelry IRON behind the
lips. Yet there are women who do
this senseless thing. rhe fad has
struggled feebly and ineffectively once
or twice IN times past and now the
Paris exposition is responsible for an
other effort to make th!s kind of dent
istry fashionable A remarkable pref
ty girl not day over II came into the
office of a fashionable dentist a few
days ago. She was exquisitely dressed
and had about as faultless set of
teeth as nature bestows. She pulled
two small diamonds out of her purse
and asked the dentist If he could insert
them in the front teeth of the upper
set. The man was Mortified and in
too. at her persistence when
he tried to reason her out of her whim.
1t meant boring into perfectly sound
teeth and he would not do it. Very
WE'LL" she said icily. as she replaced
the stones in her purse, "some other
dentist WILL" and probably did, for
she was willing to pay well for the
work. There are women who have
been just like that silly little girl, but
sensible women will not pine to make
their acquaintance.
