"a DIAMOND RINGS"
Go To Their Soldier Owner
Philippines Part
of Us.

Washington, ID. c., Dee. =
The United States Supreme Court
has decided that the Philippines
are part of the United States.
The court holds that the Philip
pines have been Il part of the I'm
tied States since the shining of the
treaty of Paris aud that no duties
are collcctablc on goods passing to
the United States from the islands.
Today's decision declaring that
the Philippines are domestic terri
tory while antagonistic to the con
tentious of the Government in this
particular case, is in conformity
with the decisions of the court in
other insular cases,
The II diamond rings case is
bound to become famous. Emil j
Pcpkc, a citizen of the United
States, enlisted in the First North
/ Dakota Volunteer Infantry and
went with that regiment to Mani
/ la. While there and after the rat
ifcation of the treaty of peace be-
tween the United States aud Spain
he purchased the ii rings. He
brought them from home with him
and after being mustered out went
to Chicago, where the rings were
seized by the custom officials on
the claim that the Philippines Were
foreign territory and that mer'
chandise brought therefrom was
subject to custom duties which
had not been paid by Pepke, Th'
lower court decided against Pepk,
aud entered a judgment of forfeit
ure against the rings and directe,
, that they be sold, in accordance
, with the law.
, The Supreme Court of the Tn
tied States now reverses this deci
, sion and orders that the rings b.
restored to their soldier owner.

DUST AND FILTH.

We're prevalent when dust Is blowing.
Bowel troubles are plentiful when peo-
pie are compelled to inhale dust. Con-
sumption, too, often gets It's start
f.om dust. Other illnesses almost
equally grave follow from the breath
ing OF flying particles of filth. Add
sufficient water to transform the dust
into mud, and the power for harm Is
gone, for mud is not inhaled. The
germs that infest dry mud become in
ort in mud because these germs, vi
cious as they are, are too lazy to go
anywhere unless they are carried.
Moreover, mud is very likely to get
ultimately into the drain pipe, and the
germs are carried off where they can
do no harm. Even when mud dries on
the clothing and is brushed of the
dust that arises therefrom does not
appear to be as dangerous as that
which has not been recently wet. 1t
will thus be apparent that there Is a
bright side to mud, and hencefortb all
but the most fastidious will revel in
muddy streets. Many physicians may
advise their more weakly patients to
go abroad in search of exercise only
when the roads are muddy. Rich men
may be looked for to have special
mud spots somewhere on their grounds
while sanltariums may be expected to
advertise that all the walks about heir
buildings are so constantly attended

in the year. Mud baths have long been
utilized, and mud would seem certain
to become one of the great curative

reject the Democratic plan without

CoBWEB PICTURES.
Uniaue Pictures Made by Mrs. Came


well. IL st. Louis Lady.
Making pictures and decorations out
of cobwebs. peanut shells and postage
stamps is an art created by Mrs. Belle
Cooper Gamewell OF st. Louis, MO.
Taken up az fad the art has develop
ed into business and Mrs. Gameweil
Is making money, although she Is
well-to-do in the world. When Mrs.
Gamewell wants to make one OF her
queer pictures she must first hunt I'M
til she finds a cobweb. The kind that
accumulates in the corner OF the cell
ing In the homes where the house
maids cant see anything higher than
the mantlepiece is best for the purpose.
When she finds web she takes II
down very carefully and spreads 1t IN
the bottom OF pasteboard box. Some
times it is necessary to gather several
cobwebs to provide sufficient fairy can
vas for one picture.
When the web has been spread over
the bottom OF the box 1t is ready to
be painted on. Mrs. Gamewell uses
brushes and oil paints, but she can
not WELD the brush like the ordinary
painter who puts his colors on a big
coarse canvas. She dips her brush In
the paints very carefully, so that she
gets only tiny drop on it each time.
The ordinary artist draws line with
sweep OF his hand, She builds the
line rop by drop without ever actually
touc ing the web with her brush. In
this way she makes landscapes and
flower designs that areereatly admired
by her little friends. When all the
paint has been deposited drop by drop
on the web it is permitted to dry. Then
Mrs. Gamewell covers it with a piece
OF thin glass or mica and the picture
is complete.
