An objection may be urged, to the
effect that it would be very difficult
to dispose of the men, women and chill
dren who would be thus brought in
and delivered to the agents Of the
President. In the first place there is a
large home market. Tie Sultan Of
Sulu who by treaty and alliance with
the President is protected in the main
tenance of the institution Of slavery,
would readily buy large numbers of
these men, women and children, and
without doubt would be willing to pay
an average price of at least So per head
for them, while transportation to his
domains would not cost over so cents
per head.
Leaving out of our calculation the
natives sold to the Sultan Of Sulu-
viewing the easy terms of that trans
action simply as an act of friendly
recognition--we will consider the prof
its which would accrue from the trade
with distant ports Of Africa where
slavery exists. Each Filipino has al
ready cost SIPS; the subsequent price
paid for delivery would be $3.50, while
the cost of his transportation to a dis
tant market would he 81, thus making
the entire cost of each deported native
$6.75. The profit per head would then
be $13.25, and with a liberal allowance
of five hundred thousand natives sold
to the Sultan and lost in various ways,
this would leave a balance of five and
a half million natives to be disposed of,
giving total profit of $72,S75, 900, which
would not only enable the President to
refund the Treasury the $40, 000, 900 paid
to Spain, but would go far toward de-
fraying the expenses of the late war.

PHILIPPINE
TROUBLE SOLVED.
~ Frank Stockton.

When the sum OF 20,000000 was paid
Tor the Philippine Islands the purchase
might have been considered an advnnt-
ageous one II the property had been
delivered. but this was not the case.
These Islands, with their lands, their
water courses, their cities, their will
ages. their railroads, their public and
private buildings Of every sort. and
their Inhabitants. are ours by purchase;
but they were not delivered by the sell
Ter, and the President--for Congress
has not vet interferred in this matter
lis Obliged to get possession Of them ais
well as he can.
Now there are several methods OF
obtaining possession Of these islands.
One of these is to kill the inhabitants.
The President has already tried this
method, but SO far has succeeded only
in slight degree, vast majority OF
the natives being still alive.
But there Is still another plan. This
is to deport these inhabitants, who
have proved themselves SO obnoxious,
and in fact intclerable. If 1t be OBJ
jected that in order to deport them It
is necessary to get possession of them,
1t is only necessary to refer to the
means which have been employed since
time iInmemorial in order to gain pos
session Of human beings in similar
cases.
1t may be estimated reasonably that
TIE real estate Of the islands costs one
\ the purchase money paid to Spain.
g ! that the remaining $10,0OO000 was
T. price paid for the Inhabitants.
ThgT, roughly estimating the popula-
tioi It 100000. we find the price paid
for Philippine native to be SLIPS.
Now, " the President should announce |
that VI 30, a good price when compared |
to the &A nish valuation would be paid |
for eacl 11tive brought to the seacoast |
and delipcd at certain designated |
depots t. accredited agents OF the |

ter of fact, ] believe athletics to be of
material benefit to the college as we'll
as to the student. In a way they
bring the institution more closely to
the attention of the rising generation of
boys-young men Of from eighteen to
twenty-five are really boys, after all.
The boys of twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
interested-as all boys are-in football.
baseball, rowing, ETC., take deep In
terest in the college sports, and az
they grow older desire to be partici
pants in those sports strengthens with
In them. The result Of this is that, in
addition to the desire to secure the
mental advantages ,esulting from coll
legiate training, the boy gets further
bent in the direction of college through
his interest in athletics. In consequence
the number of students is materially
increased, and I attribute very large
increase in mental development to a
primal interest In college sports.
There will naturally be a certain
amount of roughncss attached to these
sports, particula ly football. We have
only football and Laaeball at Prince
ton, and so ! am more familiar with
these. w lille tnere nave pteH dCci-

any restrictions should be imposed up
on college athletes that do not already
exist. | believe that both football and
baseball are beneficial to the college
men. and I do not believe that. as a
rule, it affects their standing in their
studies otherwise than advantageously.
I mean by this that man who Is stu
diously inclined is not hindered In his
studies by athletics; l am equally
aware that some who were interested
in athletics would under no circum-
stances be devoted to study.

TREATMENT OF THE SKIN.

A woman's beauty is more dependent
upon the condition Of the skin than on
regularity of feature, and the great
thing that Influences the condition Of
the skin is health. Perfect health, there
fore, must be the aim of those who
would have beautiful skins, and by
beautiful I mean clear, clean, fresh
and wholesome, not necessarily white
for it is as hopeless for brunette to
strive for the white skin Of blonde as
to expect that ner hair will of its own
accord become fiaxen.
Most people recognize the fact that
the state of the health Is reflected i'm
mediately upon the SIX n, but few, per-
haps, realize that the condition Of the
skin also affects the health.
The hygiene CT the skin is an inter-
esting study, nd one about which we
should all know something. The two
layers of skin are known as the outer
or scarf-skin (epiderma) and the SEN
sitive or true skin (derma) II is the
scarf-slzn that peels off i'll cases of
fever, and that is, in fact, almost con-
stantly throwing off little dry scales.
If these were not removed by daily abb
lutions they would choke up the pores
and, by preventing natural exhalations,
render the skin dark, thick and muddy
looking. The pores should always be

impeachment in connection with the per-
spiratory and oil glands. Much of the
health of the skin depends upon this.
According to the renowned skin spe-
cialist, Sir Erasmus Wilson, the use of
pure soap is aLeaiAsel- necessary If we
would have health.
In frequent ADDITIONS lies the secret
Of many a firm, smooth skin. Plenty Of
soap and water win work wonders

BEEFSTEAK AS A

I believe in the civilized power Of
beefsteak and potatoes; in the inspira-

in the elevating effect of good wheat

fiuence of the bathtub. They are
quicker and more radical than prayer

blood. and degeneracy is blood dis

MORALITY OF OUR
COLLEGE BOYS.
By Prof. Patton, Of Princeton.

Despite the assertions which ara
sometimes made to the contrary. nv
observation impresses me with the fact
that the undergraduate Is not less re-
4gious than he was. On the contrary.
! am inclined to believe that the
thoughts inspired by religious feeling
and tendency toward things that are
OF religion and exist in everyday life
are more pronounced. This is largely
because of the atmosphere of the coll
lege: The environment of the under
graduates at Princeton Is naturally
OF that nature. Religious duties are
not forced upon the students, neither
is anything done to make religious
truths disagreeable. 1 think 1 have
never seen the time in college life when
the undergraduate wa of SO high a
standard morally and physically as at
present.
