WHICH? WHEN? WHY? WHAT ?

Suppose we do make the Filipinos indie
pendent; are we also going to make the
Macabebes independent?
Are we going to make the Moros indie
pendent?
To establish a Viscayan government
and a Sulu republic?
How about the Negritoes and the sew
enty or eighty different tribes that speak
different languages?
Are we to establish an independent
government for each?
We must do one OF two things. We
must either establish from seventy to
eighty independent republics or else i'm
pose the government Of one tribe on all.
As such a number OF independent re
publics is an impractical proposition, are
we to impose Tagalog government Oh
the Macabebes? a Moro government on
the Viscayans? Sulu government on
the Negritoes, and so on?
II we are to impose one government
on another, Is 1t not better that we know
beforehand what it is to be-in other
words, try our own government

excerpt from the Kansas correspondence
OF the Northwestern Miller. is a humor-
GUS illustration:
with granaries full to bursting, and
general prosperity abroad in the land,

Yes, it is big crop, but these here big

The laurel crown used to decorate
the brow of the victor in the old
Olympian games or the head of some
triumphant general was composed of
bay leaves. The bay is Taurus nobilis.
and thus the wreath or crown has
been called laurel or bay, according
to the whim of the writer. The bay
was considered by the ancients to be
an antidote against poison and a Sc
curity against lightning. Its leaves
were used to provide pleasing in
cense, and a spray of bay was carried
i'll the garments of all supcrStitious
persons as a guard against all dangers.
1t is interesting to note how the
laurel or bay has passed down to these
more prOSaic times. The heads on
medals, coins, etc, are almost always
crowned with laurel. Then we have
poet laureate, or the poet crowned
with laurel-that is to say, the chief
poet of the times. Again, the title of
bachelor, won by exceptional skill in
connection with art or science, takes
us back to the middle ages, when
young doctors were crowned with
laurel and received the title of bacca
laurel.-London Gardeners Magazine.

various Ways to PcrfoS'u This Nee
cssnry Household Labor.
With Il piece of clean uanucl dipped
i'll warm water and then squeezed near
ly dry take up as much whiting of the
best quality as will adhere. Apply
this, rubbing the paint work moderate
ly, and aftcrward wash the surface
with clean water and rub it dry with
ChamOiS leather. This method is bet
Ter than the use of soap. 1t requires
but half the time and labor and leaves
the surface clean and as good as new.
Another way Is to dissolve half an
ounce of glue and bit of soft soap the
size of Il walnut in about three piats Of
warm water and with we'll worn
whitcwash brush well scrub the work,
but not sufficiently to take off the paint,
and rinse with plenty of cold clean wa
ter using a wash leather. Let it dry
itself. Work done in this manner will
often look equal to new.
Again, first take off all the dust with
soft brush and pair of bellows. Scour
with q mixture of soft soap and fuller's
earth and use lukewarm water. If
there are any spots which are extra
dirty, remove these by rubbing with
sponge dipped in soap and water. Com
mence the securing at the top of the
door or wainScot and proceed down
ward and dry with a soft linen cloth.
When cleaning paint it is always bet
ter to employ two persons, one to
scour and the other to rub dry.
Still another. The best and easiest
way to clean all paintwOrk, either var
nlShcd or even the most delicate paint,
Is to use soft flannel dipped in paraf-
fin oil. Rub on all dirty finger marks
or even all over doors and wainscOting.
Then rinse with clean cold water, and
you will be delighted with the result.
Can also be used for cleaning furniture
with the best results.

This operation of shrinking. or spong-

IL was recently party to n discus

tion of the nature of happiness arose,
and certain wise head present was
asked to define it. His reply was so
satisfactory that trust you will allow
me to repeat it for the benefit of those
interested.
''IIe said: Happiness is state of
mind-more active than contcntmcnt,
less pronounced and more abiding than
joyfulness; whose principal and per-
manent source is in temperament dis
