plague is yet sporadic, There have
been six cases aud four deaths. Prep

hospitals and for disinfecting and

Great numbers of provincial natives
are coming to Manila, with the result
that the city is overcrowded, the In
crease in accommodations being In
adequate and the rice necessary for
foodstuffs is more expensive than at
any period during the last 10 years.
The plague is dangerous to the over

they get larger salaries; but let them

MANY of you gentlemen who do not
represent great cities can find that
you represent many more such prin-
cipals. The principal of the high
school here Jas diligently prepared
statistics TO show his need OF higher
salary. In fact. he prepared the
speech which the gentleman from Col.

he was arguing for increase of salary

than 500 per month, and very few get
less than SIS per month.
"Now every congressman knows
scores of good people in his own district
who live on $40 or $50 per month, and
they work from snn-up until sun-down.
The young men who work In railroad
Offices or in aarge stores, and get SIS

rear families. and be satisfied ! have
In mind three excellent young men
right now who would be glad to have
the opportunity to come here at $50 per

them out of government employment.
While | would be glad to help them,
know from experience that as soon as
they might receive appointments here,
they would begin nagging me for pro-
motions. just as the others have done,
instead of waiting for Advancement on
their own merits"
While all OF this is true, and while II
only tells half of the story of what the
congressman endure, ii is only fair to
point to the fact that all of us are try
ing to better our conditions, and that
this instructive mental process is ut the
root ofallofthis promotion-hunting. Ii

woman to he not dissatisfied, but un-
satisfied. The trouble is, that they are
in too big a hurry. Montesquieu says:
Success in most things depends on
knowing how long ii takes TO succeed"
Confucius says; "Our greatest glory
Is not in never falling; but in rising
every time we fall" But government
clerks are not philosophers. nor readers
of PHILOSOPHERS, and hence do not de-
serve uncharitable description in tell.
ing their story.
The trouble with the clerks is that
they permit their selfish desires 10 in
duce them TO make too much haste. and
therefore too little speed. The trouble
with the congressman Is that they are
too busy in their own self-seeking TO be
charitable TO those who are also trying
to hasten their own betterment. The
congressman are all trying to be SEN
ators or presidents, and the govern
ment clerks are all trying TO become
chiefs of divisions, or chiefs OF depart
ments. Probably nowhere else on this
continent do we find human nature rub
bing against human nature with so
much friction as right here.
With charity for all, IL may neverthe-
less be said that the government clerks
certainly overio their cause. because
they are all asking something for moth
ing. They are asking the congressman
to advance them. while they are utter
ly pewerless TO do any thing to advance
the congressman. This salient fact all
of them overlook. SMITH ID. FRY.

CIGARETTE IN BRITISH ARMY.
Habit Began In the Egyptian War of
1SS2-Wns Caused by Cir
cum@tances.

A paragraph on the army and ciga-
rette smoking has brought us the fol-
lowing from military correspondent:
at was the Egyptian war of 1852 which
really started cigarette smoking to
any large extent. Officers were thrown
in the country where Egyptian eiga-
rettes were made. A few Greek firms
had possibly previously had fairly
large trade with retailers who supplied
the universities. Indeed, up till the
seventies the word cigarette was pro-
nounced as n French word. while the
word 'fag' has only existed for half
a dozen years, at the most, in the sense
of cigarette. 'Fag' has nothing to do
with tobacco done up as faggot;' ii is
the remains of street boys slang for
the fag end of a cigar. A soldier un-
der stoppages used only TO be allowed
a penny a day; now he is supposed to
want half a pint and a packet of fags.
so he is allowed twopence a day.
"The rank and file did not take to
cigarette-smoking appreeiably before
civilians did. Boy recruits smoked
Irish roll of the strongest after a
couple of months soldering, Local
ity has a great deal to do with what
people smoke. Sir Thomas Upington
used to say that club at Cape Town
had only two rules: no clay pipes
and no Boer tobacco allowed. Trans
vaal tobacco has its admirers. but the
eastern province Boer tobacco, grown
