DRESSING AN ACTRESS.
Her Clothing Is So Made That I
Can Be Put On in
Minute.

While the actress is on the stage her
maid has carefully laid out the gown
that is to be put On, with all its acces-
series. The dresses are made with a
view to celebrity. Hardly anything is
left to be fastened on. Knots of rib
bon, draped sashes, pieces of jewelry.
even corsage bouquets, arc attached
beforehand, in case there is not min
ute to spare. A very nlod;sh and com
plete evening gown with everything
belonging to 1t may be single con-
struction. The maid inspects it care
fully to see that it is in complete good
order and deposits il on chair. Close
by she places the shoes, stockings and
whatever of millinery is to be worn.
ly relieved of the gown which the audi
ence has last seen her in. Next she sits
before her mirror, and, If there is need
of great haste, makes whatever rear
rangement of hair or headdress is
necessary while the maid takes of the
shoes and stockings. Under the latter
are different ones already on. By the
time that the second pair of shoes are
buttoned the couture is readjusted.
Then the actress stands up and the new
dress is adjusted in jiffy. If the
change has had to be made while an
act is in progress it may have occupied
no more than five or six minutes. But
that is exceptional. IF done between
! acts, with ten minutes allowed to it,
the job has no appearance of furious
speed, so thoroughly is it prearrnnged.

YIELD OF THE PACIFIC.
Everything from wheat TO Pepper
and Host OF Things Found
Nowhere Else.

Considered from the point of view
after all, the point of view of most
people of to-day-the islands of the
Pacific present everything from the
wheat of Argentina to the pepper OF
Guiana, and host of things found
neither in the tropics of South Amer
lea, nor in the hot heart of Africa,
nor elsewhere, save within their own
abnormal spheres. Beginning with the
wheat and live stock and the ordinary
edibles and utilities grown in Aus
tralia, Tasmania and New Zealand,
there is rapid multiplication OF
strange and unusual products as the
zone of output moves north and west.
The Dutch East Indies are like the
northern regions of South America,
putting forth the best coffees from
Java that the coffee world affords,
the nutmeg which favors mems milk
punches and women's baked apples,
the camphor that cures wives head
aches, the pepper that supplies taste
to the far-gone palate, the ginger that
brings tears to the eyes of the small
boy and balm 10 his suffering midriff.
From the same region comes also the
valuable teak to calk ships, and upon
which much of the future merchant
marine of the South Pacific is likely
to depend From Java and Sumatra,
up to the Philippines and Formosa,
is the chief source Of the worlds sup
ply of straw for hats, of ropes where
with criminals are hung or sails set
Of mattings for floors instead Of car
pets.
Eastward from the coast is the
home of the cocoanut and pineapple,
and the breadfruit, which does not
endure exporting, to say nothing OF
the universal banana. Along the
shores of the farther islands the ma
tives and the Chinese, who from time
immemorial have been invaders
gather pearl shells and the long.
Shiny snails, called beche-de-mer, one
of the most popular courses on the
tables of the well to do in China. In

spots becoming constantly less dis
coverable. the oriental food hunters
find the delicate birds nest for which
mandarins and financial potentates OF
the Mongolian kingdom pay $3.50 pei

them soups from it. There are min.
eral, metal and timber resources aA
yet little more exploited than those
in the Philippines. There are posi-
bilities of agricultural cultivation.
which have not been sounded save In
the southern islands, where John Bull
has put the aborigine beneath his
solid foot and ventured to transform
the semitropic regions into the like
ness of his home country. Tobacco is
growing richly in most of the larger
islands, and cotton has been tried
with such success that the South Sea
Island product is a considerable fac

FILIPINO MOTHERS.
Their Ruling Passion Is Love for Boy
babies, But They Are
Very Queer.

She is like no one else in the world---
this Filipino woman. From the white
mans standpoint she is least like a
woman of any feminine creature. She
will work for you, sell you things and
treat you politely, but beyond that the
attitude of her life, as it is presented
to you, is as inscrutable as bolted
door. You can get well enough ac-
quainted with her husband to detest
him cordially, but the nature of the
woman is as hard to fathom as sheet
of Chinese correspondence.
1t is never common sight to see
mother, who believes she is alone, play
ing with her baby. A young native
woman was making love to her first
man child. The two were in the shack
next to mine, but the windows were to-
gether. She had the little fellow in q
corner and was kneeling before him in
perfect ecstasy of motherhood. The
baby could not have been more than
several months old, and the mother
was perhaps IS. She would bend her
body far back, with hands out
stretched; and then gradually sway
closer, closer, while the baby, very
noisy and happy in his diminutive way,
shrank back into the corner and showed
his bare red gums. And then the moth
er swayed at last very near, would
snatch his naked bundle of brown
habyhood and toss him into the air.
And there would be great crowings
and strangled laughter from the in
FAINT, and low murmurings of passion
ate worship from the woman.
Then she placed her face close to the
head of her son and whispered wonder
full secrets into his wee brown cars
thrilling secrets in voice strangely soft
and tender. such as you would not
think could come from this smileless
creature of the river banks.

mother heart was laid bare before me.

There have been many American
humorists. good and bad, but only OF

awhile he gets somethin' the matter

THE BEST POLICY.
Upright and Success
full Life.

Although many seem not to believe
this doctrine, and many declare that
men are growing worse, the world in
general is honest. 1t is estimated that
over $1,OO0,O00 is dishonesty appro-
priated every year, yet when we con-
sinder the billions of dollars that daily
pass through human hands, the won
der is that more men do not yield to
temptation.
That this sum may be lessened, and
our sons not grow up to take the place
of criminals in our prisons, it behooves
us parents to teach the boys that hon
esty is better than riches.
We all know of children to whom the
truth is a mystery and falsehood a
harmless deception, They have no in
herent truthfulness. This tendency is
not always hereditary, for | have
known a child of truthful parents to
have no regard for the truth.
This failing, as soon as detected,
should be carefully corrected. If your
boy says: Mamma, came straight
home" and you know that he didn't,
don't overlook it and think it is of no
consequence. 1t is of much conse-
quence that his every word should cor
respond with his slightest action, for
he is laying foundation for future
life.
A boy who lies can never grow into
truthful man, and you will find it is
true in almost every instance that
those who are most dishonest and have
the least idea of the line to be drawn
between mine and thine, are those
who, in childhood, were allowed to tell
| big stories, drawing very profusely
upon their imagination to supply what
nature or circumstances left out.
If child makes promise he should
be compelled to keep it at no matter
what sacrifice. We all know what the
difference is between person who,
when he says he will be there, is sure
| TO be there and one who is never there.
Punctuality is sometimes spoken
lightly of by careless people, but no
| boy who would become good business
man can afford to let such things affect
| him.
If man be truthful he will be hon.
est, for dishonesty and trickery are
/ nothing but falsehoods strung to-
gether.
We sometimes meet in our expert
ence person to whom everything is
smooth sailing. He carries on big
business and suddenly fails. We watch
him with sympathy, thinking how bad
ly he must feel; but our sympathies are
wasted. He still lives in grand style;
his clothes are not out at the elbows,
| nor even shiny on the seams; his wife
and daughters don't wear one flower
less on their bonnets; their servants
| are not dismissed; their carriage is
seen on the boulevard. In fact, we
can't see where he has failed-ex except
to meet his obligations. By and by,
when the excitement is over, he quiet
| ~ slips back into his old place in bust
ness circles, none the worse for his mis-
| hap. Yet we know that somewhere, in
some remote corner, is some one who is
poorer and more wretched for his fail
ure.
Do you think he is happy? He APP
pears so, but some day there is to be a
final reckoning, and how uncomfortable
| 1t will be to come with no ones tears
or signs hanging to our garments for
which we must Accountants. I. w.
