senate. As fearless and able debater
he has few equals and no superiors in
public life in this country.

One of the most difficult places to
avoid overdrawing is where a line and
are meet, or two arcs combine TO form
a curve; it is best to place a dot where
they appear to meet in the pencil stage
and ink up to the dot. India ink dries
nearly as fast as it is put on. To avoid
the chance of blOtting. however, it is
well to ink in figures from above down
ward, and from right to left. If the
pen stops marking it may often be re-
started by drawing two or three lines
on a piece of soft chanOis leather; if
this fails it should be thoroughly
cleaned

a check is an order for moEey, drawn

sight draft on the bank. Banks pro-
vide blank checks for their customers,

them out properly. IN writing in the
amounts begin at the extreme left Of

easily "raisetls A fraudulent receiver
could. for instance, write seventy be-
fore the word mine" and ''I'' before the
figure 50, and in this way raise the
check from 50 to S79, or he could
change the mine" to ninety" and the
50 to $50. If this were done and the
check eashed the maker, and not the
bank, would become responsible for the
loss. You cannot hold the bank re-
spOnsible for your caTeleSEness. It is
wise to draw a running line --
after the amount in words. thus pre-
venting any additional writing. The
signature should be IN your usual style
familiar to the paying teller. See that
your check has a 2-cent revenue stamp
attached The writer of the check is
supposed to place the stamp upon it
and to cancel it by writing the date
across the face. Banks sell check books
containing checks with the government
stamps printed on the face. A check
is a draft or order on a bank and need
not necessarily be written in the pre-
scribed form. Such an order written
on a sheet Of nOtepaper with a lead
pencil might be in every way a legally
good check. Usually checks should be
drawn "to order" The words Pay to
the order Of John Brown" mean that
the money is TO be paid to John Brown
or to any person he orders it paid
to. If a check is drawn Pay to bear
err any person that is the bearer can
collect it. The paying teller may ask
the person cashing- the check to write
his name on the back simply to have
it for reference In writing and sign

tropical island of nearly 10000
acres, forty-two miles due east of Porto
Rico is waiting for some enterprising
homesteader to stake out claim. This
island belongs to the United States, but
no one lives on it except a lighthouse
keeper. Ii is known on the map as
Mona island. 1t has luxurious vegeta-
ton, we'll watered, and drained. Every
variety of tropical fruit will grow there
and it possesses every natural adyan-
tage. 1t is in the middle of the Mona
passage. Mona island became the prop
erty of the United States by the second
clause in the treaty, which cedes 1.-The
island of Puerto Rico and other islands
now under Spanish sovereignty in the
West Indies" The officials Of the gem
eral land Office in Washington say that,
while our land laws have not been ex-
tended by statute to the West Indian
islands, they undoubtedly will be, and
American methods Of homesteading
presumption and entry will obtain
there. 70 this extent the lands are
free to any one applying. Under the
homestead act heads of families may
enter 100 acres of public land set aside
for that purpose. Mona. while one of

A Commercial Opportunity.

Instead of looking with apprehension
to China as a possible competitor in
the markets of the world, it should be
the earnest and constant effort of our
government and people to stand for the
maintenance of the equality OF COM
mercial opportunity which we possess
under existing treaties with that en-
pire. We have our share to do in
building the thousands of miles OF rail-
roads still wanting in China, of sup
plying her with all forms of machinery,
with electric plants, and with all the
appurtenances of productive industry
and civilized progress for which China
offers, and will continue to offer, for
generations to come, the greatest mar
ket in the world. Never, surely, was
the bogy of production invoked
with so little reason to brighten enter
prise and to repress the growth of
commerce, as with reference to an in
dustrious race of 0,000 900, of a ma
ton just awakening from the slumber
of centuries.-"Comme Possibli-
ties of China" by James S. Fearon, in

Many Americans gladly acknowledge
their kinship with the Anglo Saxons
beyond the water, but we must remem-
Der that we are still more literally
cousins Of the great people to the north
of us. For a century and a quarter
Canadians and Americans have inter
married freely, and the border cannot
divide ties OF blood. Not long ago the
dispatches from South Africa an
nounced the death of Lieut.. Wood OF
Halifax, the first Canadian to die for
the British empire In the Boer war. 1t
is IN interesting comment on our re-
lations with Canada to note that this
young lieutenant was the great-great-
grandson of Zachary Taylor, who was
a major in the war of 1912, and fought
against the British with all the zest
for fighting that was in him, and that
his great-grandfather was Jefferson
Davis, who, as a young man, married
Taylor's daughter 1t is usually rep
resented as runaway match, but Mr..
Davis himself wrote that it was moth
ing of the sort. In spite of such Am
erican antecedents, Lieut.. Wood lived
loyal subject of the queen, and died
for her majesty's empire.

REGULARITY OF the Thunderstorm That
Visited South Africa.
very few days after my arrival at
MdritZburg at the end of 1875, | was
standing one afternoon in the shade
of my little house on hill, anXiously
watching the picturesque arrival of an
OK wagon laden with my boxes. 1t was
in the very early summer, and the ext
gencieS of settling in left me no time
to worry about the thunderstorms, CT
which, of course, | had often heard.
A more serene and brilliant afternoon

even hot-at all events, out of the sun.
My two small boys, as usual, trotted
after me like dogs, and clamored to
assist at the arrival of the wagon; so
l lifted the little one up in my arms
and stood there, with the elder boy
clinging to my skirts. Suddenly, out
of the blue, unclouded sky, out of the
blaze of golden sunshine, came flash
and a crash which seemed as if it must
be the crack OF doom. No words at my
command can give any idea of the in

COCOA PALMS MANY USES.
From It Fillipinos Get Food. Drink,
shelter, Ropes. Brooms and Soap.


shelter, Ropes. Brooms and Soap.
There are several species of cocoa
palms growing in the Philippine archi-
pelago, but the ordinary cocoanut tree
(Cocos nucifera) is the most import
ant. The Indians make use of it in a
good many ways, but only the princi-
pal ones need be enumerated, says the
Journal of the Society of Arts. The
kernel of the nut they use for food,
while the liquid the shell contains
makes refreshing drink. If allowed
to stand for some time this liquid
forms very agreeable milky juice that
Is relished not only by the natives, but
by Europeans as well. After this juice
has coajulated it is mixed with sugar
and made into bonbons, known as CO.
Goa sugar, and also into various other
| delicacies. According to a recent re-
port Of the United States department of
agriculture, by tapping the central bud
/ that crowns the cocoanut kind OF
wine called tuba, OF an agreeable pun
| gent taste, is produced This tuba,
when allowed to ferment, produces
| vinegar, and when distilled a kind OF
brandy, that is highly relished by the
natives. From the husk of the cocoa
nut the Tagals make rope and cords
4 and a material for calking their boats.
From the woody shells they carve
spoons, cups, beads for rosaries and
many other articles. The leaves they
use to cover the roofs OF their houses.
! Roofs made in this manner are thick
and tight. but they have the disadvan-
4 tage Of burning readily, SO that in the
towns and villages where the houses
are thus covered confagrations spread
! with great rapidty. The veins and
smaller ribs of the leaves are used to
1 make broOms, the midribs serve as
i fuel and the ashes are utilized in MAX
/ ing soap. The trunk of the palm is
! made to serve as pillar to support
the houses that its leaves overshadow.
1 Oil barrels, tuba casks and water pipes
are fashioned from hollow sections OF
! the trunk. From the roots the natives
extract red dyeing material that they
/ chew in place of the areca palm nut or
/ bonga when the latter cannot be pro-
1 cured. Large quantities Of eocoanut oil
are manufactured in the Philippines.
4 This oil is much priced by the natives.
/ The men and women both use it to
anoint the thick growth of hair that
adorn their heads, and it thus finds a
ready sale at remunerative prices. 1t
is also used in the lamps that take
the place of gas burners in the streets
! Chinese in their houses. Manila ex-
ports annually about 100000 pesos
/ ($l25 ,0OOl worth Of cocoanuts to China
and British India, and about S25, 600
worth of cocoanut oil to China.

CHOCOLATE IN MANILA.
dow it Is Prepared for Use In the
Presence of the Purchaser.


In Manila they make your chocolate
while you wait. Right into the house
Chinaman comes with his basket and
rolls the crushed cacao bean and sugar,
and then makes a supply of chocolate
that is sweeter and more palatable and
cheaper than the commercial brand
sold in the Chicago stores. When the
Chinaman comes he lays aside his hat
and shirt, and, stripped to the waist
and barefooted, he begins his work. In
the basket is the chocolate or cocao
bean, from which the rancid oil has
been extracted and which oil long ago
has anointed the hair OF some Filipino
belle or lighted some Filipino home
The beans first come on the board bit
ter and brackish. With a rolling pin
the Chinaman grinds them into fine
powder. This takes time. When 1t is
done, he opens another basket and dips
out the sugar for the sweetening and
the final mixture. The sugar is what
would probably grade coffee C. if it
We're in commercial circles. Like the
bNeNAA, ~ eAONo Oii AlkO ioiAAlhs AhAubhAA7
ously the Chinaman rubs, and gradu-
ally the chocolate forms on the bottom
of the board and drips off in sticky
sweetness into the basket beneath. The
family gathers about to sample the
product and the Chinaman stops to
smoke cigarette while judgment is
being passed. Cups of the beverage
are handed around and all taste" II
1t is not sweet enough the manufactur-
er throws more sugar on his board and
drops in another cinch of vanilla and
cinnamon for the fiavoring. When 1t
is right he goes to work, and for sew
eral hours rubs away at his task. The
deposit below the rolling pin is a
brown substance that is soft and moist,
While above it is to all appearances a
dry powder and sugar. The little ones
gather about, and If there is an older
daughter, perhaps she sits down on
the floor in front of the Chinaman and
watches the growing pile. Such was
the case in the house of a Spaniard
today when | called. The young lady
sat there and idly watched the manu-
facturer of the edible, and when lit
tie brother came she took his head in
her lap and he lay there with her,
watching the brown-skinned Chinaman
rub and rub the sugar into the other
| ingredients. 1t was insisted that |
should sample the finished article, and
found it very good-Chicago Record
