by all good cocks. got some garlic and

thing in which ] have put It, / confess

get good results? If you win shall be

II you wish to ''recook" as you term II
a roast of beef you can do 1t best by
closely wrapping 1t in thickly-buttered
paper so as to keep it covered carefully
in the oven. BY keeping 1t thus well
covered the steam will prevent the meat
from becoming hard and dry and the
roast win heat through in less time as
consequence. You should always make
a fresh gravy when thus relocating meat.

will be strong, because then the United
States will have at their disposal the
gallant and cheap Philippine army. The
excellent qualities OF the Philippine
soldiers have been recognized by the
military authorities of Spain and other
foreign countries and they have proved
themselves SO in so many wars against
the Moors, Dutch, English, Chinese,
Aunamites, Spaniards and the Ameri.
cans themselves, that it does not seem
to be a small matter to count with such
a good military element in the political
and strategic reckonings in any conflict
in the extreme Orient.
But we have still more to add: The
Anglo Saxons as we'll as the Europeans
do not profess any sympathy with mill.
tary duty; for ofr nsive wars they have
armies formed with mercenarles and
volunteers, and to defend their own
territory they have the institution OF
militia.
These armies Of volunteers are very
expensive, and should any considerable
conflict arise they are quickly absorbed
by the formation Of line troops, as We
can now observe in the war in the
Transvaal In the Philippines however
the natives are used to the obligatory
service SO il the Filipinos adopt the
military organization which IS called
Landwehr IN Austria and Honved in
Hungary, they can form a permanent
army of IL 900 to IS, 600 soldiers IN time
of peace, and IN time OF war there will
be in their ranks an army of 10000 to
2oo, 900 valiant, sober and cheap soldiers
The United States may dispose of this
army in any conflict arising in the ex.
treme Orient.
Let the Americans compare this
situation with that created by the an
nexation. II they annex the country
they have to maintain a great army
OF volunteers which will be very expen-
sive aud which, because Of the effects Of
the climate, will not be able to render
as many services as in their own country.
In case OF war this expensive army will
not be able to fight against the enemy,
because its forces will be necessary to
stiae or to prevent revolution in the
Philippines. So the maintenance OF the
American dominion in the Philippines
annexed is not an augmentation of the
American power, but a weakening of
the military and political forces of the
North American Union. In case Of war
every American soldier residing in the
Philippines will be lost for the United
States, since instead of being in a con
dtion 10 be utilized for the offensive war
and for the defense of the national ter
ritories against the foreigners, the
American soldier will have to fight
against the subdued Americans which,
in union with the foreigners, will rise
against the North American yoke.
But # the Philippines are independent
the United States will not only be able
to call the last Of their soldiers against
the foreign enemy, but they will also
have at their disposal an army of 10000
to 400. 900 more soldiers able to fight 10
the moors OF tropical territories as well
as in dry and cold mountains
believe that this military arithmetic
is worth studying by the men who steer
the destiny Of the United States of No nh
America.

Colonies Do Not Pay.

Colonial matters engrossed attention
in the German Reichstag recently, the
debate unmistakablY showing the very
improbable state OF the colonies bith'
erto, even the case of the most promis'
ing, like the Cameroons. It likewise
showed the growing appropriations
with stationary or diminishing exports
and imports.
Official returns demonstrate that
famine and sickness in German last
Africa have devastated that colony. In
the district of Tanga, for example, IN
the year 1899. the population decreased
from 175. Sos to 81 ,3as, owing to famine
leprosy, smallpox and typhoid fever.
The conditions of the whole colony
appear appalling The trade OF this
colony, which is thrice the size OF
Germany, is Insignificant and mostly
with British India, while the cost to
Germany is fivefOld the whole 1rade.
