t# Manila, June 13.-What is cOnSld-
cred one of the most interesting Incl
dents in connection with the American
development of the Philippines was
completed when the United States
Philippine commission returned from
its south province organizing tour.

the commission party travelled some
5000 miles, organized and Differed 10
provinces and took note of conditions
in several islands which are not
enough advanced to permit of civil
government of liberal character.

gents at Lipa, in which Lieut.. Spring
,er was killed and Capt. Wilhelm and
Lieut.. Lee were MORALLY. wounded,
was begun by the Americans. The
sdisproportionate number of officers
hit is said to be chargeable to the fact
that there were several deserters
from the American army with the
rebels.

London, June 1.-THE spirit of the

If cartridges fail them there is
disposition on the part of their lead

surrender there is absolutely no ques-
ton; they refuse to entertain the
suggestion for moment. Neither 40
any of them seem disposed to accept
Kitchener's terms. which were reject
ed by Chamberlain as too lenient. SO
it seems probable that the war will go
on. that the steady drain on both sides
will continue. England will continue
to lose e2,OOO,00O week and 5000
men month and the Beers will lose
in killed, wounded and prisoners about
20 men day.
War Will Drag On.
There are at this moment 10000
male Beers in prison camps in Africa,
India, St. Helena and Ceylon. Until
Oct ober the war will drag on. After
October when the grass grows there
will be a renewal of active fighting.
The Beers scout the idea that they
are running short of forces and am
munition and maintain that they will
have ample store of mealies to keep
them going for an indefinite time.
No Danger Of Starving.
This indeed. it is obvious, must be
the case, If only because the zeal OF
war at present supports 100000 ma"
tives. each with healthy appetite,
while the fighting Beers in the field
can hardly number more than 14'ooo
or $4,000 men, with arms in their
hands in the midst of black popula-
ton of 100000 who have enough to
eat. Thus they can hardly starve.

FOREST FIRE LANES.
Their Construction Very Materially
Rsdnees the Danger Of Great snd
General Connagrations.s

It is generally recognized through
out Europe that the construction OF
suitable fire lanes throughout the for
est conduces more to the prevention OF
great CONGREGATIONS than any other
institution. These serve as vantage
points in the fighting of FIRE and often
in themselves are sufficient to prevent
its spread. By means Of fire lanes the
country is cut into parcels and the
danger Of great conhagrations very
materially reduced. These fire lanes,
IN order to be Efficient, must be wide,
clean and well cared for; otherwise
they are Of little use.
Fire lanes may be constructed 1t
slight expense. After the wood is cut
it is necessary to plow three or four
burrows along the edges and then to
burn over the lane 1T times when there
is no danger Of setting fire to the
neighboring woods. A lane 50 feet in
width would be quite efficient.
The scheme which have to suggest
is that these fire lanes be constructed
and kept in order in , way similar to
the construction Of state roads, which
have been so popular of late. In this
way no terrible burden of expense
rests upon anybody. The individual

GRAINS OF WHEAT.
They Are Composed of nm Envelope,
. Digestive Layer, an Embryo
AID Albumen

During the last few years there has
been lively discussion in various
countries as to the best manner of
making bread, and to this discussion
Prof. Albert Vilcoq, a noted French au-
thority on hygiene and agriculture,
now makes a valuable contribution in
the form of an article which clearly
shows what wheat or corn is made of
and the exact value of each of its ele-
ments.
After pointing out that ideal bread
can only be made by condensing in
dour all the nutritious elements of
wheat, which can be readily assimi-
lated, he says: "A grain Of wheat has
four distinct parts, an envelope or
sheath, digestive layer, an embryo
an albumen. The envelope, being COM
posed almost wholly of cellulose, is
of no value as food for human beings,
since the intestinal organs lack the
means of assimilating it. Acknowledge
.of this fact shows how useless are the
attempts which have been recently
made to produce perfect bread from
whole wheat.
"Under the envelope is the digestive
layer which is composed of large
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1901-10-26

transparent cells and much fatty mat
ter that is useful in way, but is dele
tefious as far as the absolute purity
of the -four is concerned. The albu-
men, which il in the center OF the
grain, is also formed Of cells, in which
there is an abundance.
"This portion of the grain is nutri-
tious, and, furthermore, It is entirely
free from noxious germs. The embryo
is the vital organ of the grain. 1t, too,
consists Of cells, and. like the digestive
layer, it contains much nutritious mat
ter, but, on the other hand, it decays
so quickly that it il practically of no
value in flour.
''In wheat properly ground the rich
cells in the center of the albumen
are extracted, and thus is obtained
-four of perfect whiteness and entire
~ free from foreign lamentations"

from the New York Herald, the en-

owes little or nothing to the latter
invention for the inception Of his
idea. Indeed, he had been making ex-
periments in ground telegraphy az
tar back as 1874, and it is only now
by the aid of his friends, NJ. Schaef-
fer, NJ. Passek and NJ. Ducretet (tho
latter the constructor of the appara-
tus), that he has brought his idea to
state Of working perfection. Col
Pilsoudski has now entirely dispensed
with the tall antennae by which tho
Marconi system is so readily recog.
nized, and instead of sending tho
electric waves through the air no
places his transmitter and receiver
on the ground itself. The apparatus
connected with the transmitter and
receiver is q perfected form of that
used in the system Of ordinary wire-
less telegraphy. We give diagrams
of the apparatus. At each of tho
points the two poles are Joined on
one side to the ground by means Of

Of trees or among houses, as may DO
seen from one experiment, which was
carried out in two villa gardens Of
Vesinet, about $50 yards apart, most
successfully, in spite of the fact that
they were divided by trees, hedges
and many kinds Of obstacles. The
next experiment was much more am"
bilious. The points on this occasion
were over 2,coo yards apart, one be-
ing placed in villa of Vesinet and
the other on the banks of the Seine,
near the Pecq bridge. This time the

benefited thereby pays part, the coun-
ty another part and the state pays the
remainder.
New Jersey was the first state to
take any radical step toward the inn
provement of her public highways.
The state aid law provides that, on Pc
tition Of the owners of two-thirds Of
the lands bordering any public road,
not less than mile in length, asking
that the road be improved and agree
ing to pay ten per cent. of the cost, the
county officials shall improve the road,

by the state, if the road is brought to
the standard fixed by the state COM

The states expenditures for such inn
provements in any one year are linn
tied to $3.50, 900, while the county is linn
tied to one-fourth of one per cent. Of
its assessed valuation. Since 1895 the
applications for new roads have been
far in excess of the limit prescribed by
law,
IL seems To Me tu6t ~ WOuAu NC
simple process to extend this system
to the construction of fire lanes. It is
foolish to talk Of forest culture until
fires are reduced in number. For this
purpose fire lanes are essential, and
this is the only scheme I know Of
which seems practical and possible.

From an art standpoint Edward is not
an inspiring model, but the selection
of Miss Beveridge for the task from
the hundreds Of applicants means that
in the judgment OF the greatest art
critics of England in less than ten
years the little Chicago girl has become
the foremost woman sculptor in the
world.
Chicago ability coupled with Chicago
pluck makes a combination not easily
beaten or discouraged.
And this is not the first Of Miss Bev-

Miss Beveridge was Robins favorite

Russian OmceP Claims to Have n.

Although the Marconi system 10
now generally used in several for
eign countries, it has its objection
from a military point of view, owing
to the necessity for long poles, or
antennae, which are an easy mark
for an invading enemy, and make the
cutting of communications a matter
of little difficulty. Therefore the ef-
forts of Col. de Pilsoudski to perfect
the system of wireless telegraphy
along the surface Of the ground
should be . matter Of great interest
to soldiers as well as to scientists,
seeing that it removes the objection
of conspicuous poles. We are in
formed that though this system Of

ATTRACTIVE SERVANTS.
ment and Usually Are Loyal to
Their Mistress.

A neat, attractive looking housemaid
adds to the dignity of an establish.
ment. Unless she is too far gone in
vanity she does her work better than
the discouraged homely girl. Attract
iveness is not thing of eyes and hair
and features in general, but is an all
pervading expression Of self-respect
and neatness. The slovenly girl lacks
true self-respect, and if she is willins
to open her mistress front door in
soiled apron and torn dress, it is very
evident that she has not proper re-
spect for her mistress.
It has been my good fortune. said an
elderly woman, to have always en-
ployed attractive servants. They are
more amenable to discipline; they do
not have occasion to worry about their
looks, and are consequently more
cheerful. When the term "hired girl"
shall have passed into disuse and the
maid of honor comes to her own; when
house service shall be relegated to its
true place in sociology and ethics;
when the duties upon which the we'll
being of ourselves and many whom we
cherish depend are elevated to the vo.
cation of the saleswoman who has
hours, then will there be inaugurated
. reform against barriers that are
none the less because invfsible. When
the maid of the household shall be one
of the household in q sense Of mutual
sympathy and interest; when her COM
fort and welfare may not be unworthy
the eye or thought of her employer,
then will there be finer loyalty and
perchance a better service.-Chicago
