WOMEN cF THE PHILIPPINES.
Their Redeeming Feature is Their
 Personal Cleanliness.

Their Redeeming Feature is Their
 Personal Cleanliness.
 The aristocratic Philippine matTon and her daughters indulge in no greater bodily exercise, If they can help it, than that required for driving or shopping. But the peasant woman shares her husbands work, whatever it may be, laboring at the blow behind an ungain.y carabao {water-buffalo) in the paddy-feld, or helping to pole a huge lorcha, or cocoanut raft, up or down the river, besides attending to her domestic cares. And take pleas lre in saying that, whatever its pro- prietors rank or station, the native Philippine nipa hut Is invariably a marvel of neatness and cleanliness as to its interior. far superior in this re- spect to the average dwelling-house. be it that of merchants clerk or that of the governor-ge general So far as the latter are concerned a decent servant. girl, such as are employed ta America and England, would not be content to remain ill one two days. Hundreds Of girls are employed in the great cigar factories. and others in the conyents labor to weave the far-famed pima lace of the Philippines, several at time squatting on the floor around single frame, picking and manipulating with deft fingers the infnitesimally delicate hbers. Sometimes they work for months to complete a single mantilla or handkerchief These native women are rarely employed by the European residents as domestic servants, except in the capacity of lady's maid or cnI1- dren's nurse, and even these positions are often occupied by boys. They are very unreliable, and the utter absence of the sense of gratitude, so character fstie of the entire Philippine race, rem ders it an almost hopeless and very eX- asperating task to attempt to train them as servants. Their only redeem ing feature is their sense of absolute personal cleanliness, but in spite of this many European women prefer to go to the expense and trouble of im- porting Chinese ana from Hong Kong or Canton rather than to intrust her children to the care of native girl; although when in her own ca pacity as a mother. the F'ilipina, so far as observation goes, leaves nothing to be desired.-Woman's Home Compan- lou

WHITE SLAVES.
Efforts Making to Stop the Cursed
 Traffic in Russia.

Efforts Making to Stop the Cursed
 Traffic in Russia.
 St. Petersburg Cor. New York Times: In view of the International Cong1 ess to be held in London at the end of the present month for the dis eussion of the best measure to be taken for the prevention of the white slave" traffic, the Noyosti has lately been publishing detailed accounts of the manner in which this business is car ried on in Russia The trade has de- Veloped to great extent in the past few years throughout Western Europe, but the town Of Jassy is it's center. The women are bought, particularly at Lelpslc, during the great annual fair. but It is the capital of Moldayia, which $ the central point of the traffic, just as khartoum was formerly the mar ket place for the human merchandise imported from Abyssinia and Central Africa. From Jassy the merchandise IS directed to Russia and Turkey. Next 10 Jassy, Brussels has become the most important center for this business. The white slaves destined for Russia are generally sent to Riga or to Wilma. Where the wholesale merchants from St. Petersburg and Moscow meet to make their selections. These they transfer at once to the principal cities of the empire and to the remote prov. lnces of Siberia There was recently arrested in Odessa an agent of the principal Russian white slave mer- chants, and at his residence a yolumi- nous correspondence. with sub-agents at Jassy, Brussels, Riga and elsewhere, was found. Thanks to this edifying correspondence, the Russian police as eertained that white slave agencies ex- ist throughout Russia, in rural dis- triets as well as i'll the principal cities and towns. In some of these letters the sub-agents mentioned that they had exceptionally fine merchandise at relatively low price, five parcels (sic) ln all. Then there followed detailed description of the goods The Odessa agent in question has been exiled to #oiperla, Where he will spend the next ten years. From what hear, the Rus sian government considers the white slave traffic as an international curse. which can only be successfully eradi- cated by the united efforts of all civil ized nations. It is we'll known that ths ezarina is herself deeply interested in this matter.

A Narrow Escape.

MT. Neumann. in his narrative of Elephant Hunting in East Africa, :" thus tells of a narrow escape rom death: T as on the point of sitting down in s..e grass, when something that looked like a toad caught my eye beside my boot. Thinking I had in- advertently trodden on harmless rep- tile, I was about to move my foot in compassion, when I noticed a black. forked tongue darting vieiously close to my right foot; and looking more carefully, saw that what I had taken for a toad was the yillianous, triangu. lar head of puff adder, on whose neck had set my foot. Its body was swollen as big as my thigh. By a proyidential chance I held it so fast in this way that it could not move its head to strike. Having my rifle with ne, I put the muzzle to its head and sent bullet through its brain. It measured four feet eight inches in length.

II IN these end of-the century days an
old fashioned dinner, from soup to coffee
would fill us with distrust, but there are
some things that we cannot omit from
the bill of fare no matter how conven-
iently it may be prepared, for the dishes
have grown with our observance of the
day and seem as much a part of it as do
our prayers of thankfulness.
Inc last TWO recipes. INduhSSiN lnS
cake and fig pudding. are some of these
dis: es and no truly patriotic housewife
would serve dinner without them For
the cake cream half a cupful of butter
and three cupfuls of sugar: add four cup
fuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder and the whites of eight eggs
beaten to a froth; flavor with lemon;
bake in jelly tins. For filling make icing

cupfuls of sugar. Divide the icing. To
one-half mix teacupful of chopped al

The fig pudding is made as follows:
One pound of sliced figs ,three-quarters
Of pound of beef suet chopped fine, two
teacups of brown sugar, one teacupful OF
milk four teacupfuis of flour, two eggs,
one teaspoonful of saleratus, little salt.
