INTEGRITY DEMANDED.

II the American Philippine Commits
sion, under Judge Taft's direction, Is to
bring about at an early date the removal
of American army officers, performing
the functions OF civil service in the Phil
ippines, and to substitute civilian up
pointees. 1t is earnestly to be hoped that
the appointments will be made only aft
er the most rigid enforcement Of the
civil-service tests for fitness and capac-
fly.
While 1t Is better, as a matter of
course. that the American civil govern
ment to be established In the Philippines
shall result In the elimination of the
army officer from civilian posts, 1t must
yet be borne in mind that 1t demands
a high-class civilian to ill the officers
place. The latter's methods are the
methods Of the military administrator,
1t is true, but they are also infiexibly
honest, straightforward and correct.
The carpetbag scandals that have dis
graced the American provisional govern
ment In Cuba must not be repeated In
the Philippines. Unless it is the policy
OF the syndicate imperialists TO allow
our colonial officials to share in the
lopting of the colonies" honest and ca
pable men alone should be named to
colonial" office. The United States Gov
eminent is on trial before the world in
this new field. If it is to become Gov.
eminent Of Empire rather than Re
public, 1t can save Some shreds Of its
self-respect by at least insisting upon an
honest administration of the affairs OF
its dependencies.

Elopements are never heard OF In
Germany, and yet there is no such
thing as getting married there without
the consent of the parents. Certain
prescribed forms must be gone through
or the marriage is null and void. When
a girl has arrived at what is considered
a manageable age, her parents make
a point Of inviting young men to the
house, and usually two or three are
invited at the same time, SO that the
attention may not seem too pointed,
says the Philadelphia Times.
No young man, however, is ever in
vited to the. house until after he has
called at least once, and thus signified
his wish to have social intercourse
with the family. If he takes to call
ing on several occasions in rather close
succession it Is taken for granted that
he, has Intentions" and ne may be
questioned concerning them.
IN; Germany the man must be at
least 10 years old before he can make
a proposal, and when it is made and
accepted the proposal is speedily fol-
lowed by a betrothal. This generally
takes place privately, shortly after
which the father of the bride, as she
is then called. gives dinner or supper
to the most intimate friends on both
sides, when the fact is declared, and,
naturally, afterward becomes matter
OF public knowledge.

Decline of English Farming.

England in the seventeenth century
was an agricultural country, and,
broadly speaking. that condition con-
tfnued throughout the greater part OF
the eighteenth century. AS between
the centuries, however, there was one
great difference, that while in the sew
enteenth century agriculture progress
ed very slowly in the eighteenth CEN
fury it made immense strides.
Throughout the greater part Of the
eighteenth century agriculture was
fashionable. Noblemen Wed with each
another in making agricultural ex-
periments and in improving their es-
tates. They thought more about in
PRODUCING new root crops or new grass
es or improving the breed of sheep
and cattle than they did about the
the London Graphic. At the same
time large areas of land that had
been previously cultivated on the
semicommunistic and wasteful open
field system We're enclosed and divid-
ed into separate farms. The other i'm
portant developments of the eight
eenth century may most fairly be re-
garded as preparation for the cen
fury to come.
Toward the latter end OF the century
several of the wonderful machines
which were to revolutionize the tex
the industries Of the world were in
vented in rapid succession, but It was
only gradually that they were
brought into use. Toward the end Of
the same century began the great i'm
provement Of highways and the con-
struction of canals. But in the case Of

Girl Life In Spain.

According to our ideas the life OF
Spanish girl is not an enviable one,
for she has none of the free and happy
time our boys and girls enjoy after
emancipation from the drudgery OF the
school room and before the cares Of
womanhood begin.
All Spanish girls are convent bred,
and their education consists very
largely in learning to embroider,
At IA or 10, or even sometimes at Il
years old. they make their debut in
society, and are considered marriage
able, says the New York Telegram.
Girls of IA and boys of 16 frequently
marry, and girl of Is or 1S has often
family of two or three little ones
These early marriages are seldom hap
Ply, but divorce is unknown in Spain.
II husband and wife cannot agree,
they separate and live apart.
The new woman" as we know he7.
is unknown in Spain. and though TIL
ladies of that country are often graceS
full and clever horsewomen, the bicycle
is only just beginning to make its
way among them. Not only is there
among lgentlewomen prejudice
against cycling, as not being grace
full accomplishment but their natural
Incidence makes them prefer to be car
ried on horseback to having to exert
their muscles to propel bike"
AS a rule Spanish girls take a
considerable interest in dress, and
though they have a great love Of
bright colors, they contrive to wear
them so they are very becoming.
Spanish women have greater need
of care in the matter of dress than
have English women, for they fade 80
much sooner. They come to maturity
far earlier than their northern sisters
and, perhaps on account of their ear

On Friendships.

In all ages friendship has been re-
garded as one Of the highest gifts given
to man. and after love, 1t has been
garlanded with more blossoms OF
poesy and fancy than any other attri-
butte OF humanity. Considering it from
every point of view. it is a precious
boon, and yet how many times in our
lives do We allow sweet friendships to
slip beyond our grasp, just from lack
OF the scanty nutriment the tender
plant requires to keep it alive?
An occasional CALL letter once in
a while, remembrance of dates and
anniversaries, tender word or two to
show that the heart has not grown
away from Its once proud position of
nearness-these are all that a real
friendship requires to make it blossom
with benefits, says the Pittsburg
Press.
Love. the burning. consuming emo

us 1t is consumed itself in the chase,
