FILIPINOS TO BE HANGED.
MACARTHUR APPROVES FINDING IN CASE
OF SECRET soCIETY's MURDERS.

Manila. March 2I.-General Macarthur has
approved the sentence of the military commits
sion which tried the leaders OF the Philippine
secret society known the Mando-Ducat, VINO
murdered Quisimbimg, native president OF the
town of Calamba, on Bay Lake, and TOOK MS
head TO the headquarters Of the insurgent Cen
eral Cailles of that district. Five Of the ring
leaders of the Mando-Ducats We're sentenced to
be hanged at Calamba on April ., one to impros-
onment for life and four others to Imprisonment
for twenty years.
Captain Augustus MacManus. of the 39th Vol
unteer Infantry, who effected the arrest and Sc
cured the conviction of these Mando-Ducat lead
ers, has been highly compimented for his work.
Affairs in Laguna Province are assuming bet
ter shape since the inhabitants have been largely
relieved from the terror of the insurgents.
The vicinity of Caamba has been the scene Of
many murders similar to that of Quisimbims. The
members of this secret society the Mando-Ducats,
tically abducted and killed Filipinos favor
ing American rule. In two months the Mando-
Ducats of Calamba killed forty-nine natives. The
victims usually buried alive, and fear re-
strained the natives from informing the American
authorities of these outrages The operations of
this secret society directed by insurgent Off
GERS. The rngleaders of the society were recently
arrested by the American authorities and this ac-
ton effectuay checked the operations of their fol-

The Sins of Nutrition.

To overload the stomach with food
is not less unhealthy than to deluge
it with beverages; the more nutri-
tious the food the more hazardous
are the consequences when excess is
habitual. OF all the sins of nutri-
ton, the immoderate use of meat is
certainly the most grievous. 1t gives
to the body In a form that is favor
able for easy assimilation the albu-
men that is absolutely necessary to
life, and hence the earliest effect of
its excessive use must be to sur
charge the body with nutrients. The
chief point here is the critical exam
ination of what is called hunger.
Many persons believe that any and
every sensation of hunger must be
satisfied Immediately, but this is a
great mistake, An equally great, if
not worse, mistake Is the opinion
that one must eat until Il sense of
safety arises. Excessive nutrition

IN THE SAHARA.
French Government Plans a Regular
Service for the Great
Desert.

The automobile has invaded the
desert of Sahara. Several French
men have made trips recently
through a large part of the waste
country in southern Algiers with
such success that the French govern
ment has officially undertaken a
series of tests. A project for a reg
ular service of control and revictual-
ing has resulted. The government
plans to connect the various GASES
by regular lines of automobiles, says
the Chicago Inter Oceon.
Since Frances greed for territory
has impelled her to spread the boun-
daries of her African possessions far
into the Sahara desert, the problem
of keeping open lines of commune
cation and supply has been most Sc
rious, At present camels are used
to transport the necessary goods and
provisions from oasis to oasis and
to carry the mails. But it is hoped
now to change this.
Camels can go about three days
without water, although to be kept
in the best of condition they should
have water every day. Their normal
rate of travel is from three to five
miles an hour. although the best
dromedaries will make ten miles an
hour and keep it up for ten hours a
day.
With these limitations, the prob
lsm of communicating across the
desert between points over 300 miles
apart has been an extremely diff
cult one. And farther to the south.
thg temperature often reaches 1873
degrees, the task has been practical
ly an impossibility.
The experiments made have shown
that gasoline automobiles can far
Guido the camel as q means of trans
portation in dry countries. Trips of
500 miles in length can be accom-
plished without great difficulty.
Twenty miles an hour is attained in
many parts of the desert, and the
best speed of the camels can be prac-
tically doubled anywhere. Besides
this, high temperatures have no eff
feet on the running Of the machines,
and the amount of goods that can be
carried is largely in excess Of a
camei's load,
In the desert Of Sahara there are
between 100000 and e,50O.oOs square
miles. The exact extent of the waste
OF shifting sands is unknown. A
part of it is now open to some de-
gree of civilization, through the long
distance travelling powers of the
camels, If the automobiles prove as
great a success in the desert as the
preliminary experiments promise, an
other large part of the desert Will
become tributary to civilized man.

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Pretty Fancies That Are Now in Fa-
VOr with Followers of
Fine Dress.

Gloves for the elbow-sleeved gown
are shown with lacing of gold or silver
cord from waist to elbow on the outer
seam. The same thing is seen in Shout
der length gloves and the lacing is
not only decorative but also useful in
fitting the glove to the arm and keep
ing it in place, says the New York Sun.
The latest thing in presents for the
golf girl is pair, or many pairs, of
the startling red or green silk golf
stockings, with huge monographs en-
broidered on the knees. The red
stockings have the monogram in
green, the green ones in red, ald the
girl who will not embroider pair for
her chum is no true friend.
Wonderful colorings and designs are
appearing in the new silks, the manu-
facturers seeming to have counted con-
fidently on increasing popularity for
the Louis XVI. and Louis XIV. modes.
These exquisite brocades and stripes
will make stunning coats, and the
beautiful pompadour silks will be
used more than ever, as foundation for
chiffon, mousseline and other semi
transparent materials.
Jeweled lace is fad in both Paris
and London, and is gorgeous toilette
detail even if slightly barbaric. Many
a grande dame wears real jewels of
great value sprinkled over her old
point, but the ordinary woman can ac-
complish wonders by buying the imita-
ton stones which are sold for the pur-
pose and applying them artistically to
handsome heavy lace.
The latest imported French lingerie
shows all the seams Joined by narrow
beading instead of being sewed as
seams. On some of the garments baby
ribbon is run through all of this bead
ing, but that elaboration is not consid-
cred necessary.
A bit of feminine folly which is, so
the corset makers say, becoming more
common than ever before, consists in
I having the skirt hook on the front of
, the corset and the garter clasps and
fixtures of the carriers attached to the
corsets made of gold and often jeweled

shops are full of odd and beautiful eX
amples of the art work. There Is a
greater call for hand-wrought gold
work than ever before within the mem
DRY of this generation, and 1t is diff
cult to find goldsmiths who are equal
to the demands of this new fad, One
firm noted for its exclusive designs has
a series of birthday rings, designed for
the Paris exposition and altogether
charming. The sign of the zodiac is
used for the motif in the carving of
the ring, and the birthstone, in ca
bochon form, is shown somewhere In
the design, but not conventionally set.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.
Prove Useful to the House,
keeper.

Mending and securing are two of
the ''thankless" tasks that fall to the
lot of every housewife; yet in no way
can she better show her thrift than by
repairing and reburnishing broken
and shabby articles. 1t is worse than
useless to cumber ones house with in
valided objects. If they cannot be re-
stored to usefulness by mending, throw
them resolutely away, says Ladies'
World, New York.
The small holes that so often in
oapacitate rubber hot-water bag may
be neatly and securely repaired by
means of rubber patches secured with
cement made as follows: Cut one
cubic inch of pure Para rubber into
small bits, and dissolve them in one
pint of benzine. After a few days the
liquid should be as thick as honey, and
is then ready for use. Apply to the
surface of both the bag and the patch,
and leave exposed to the air for a few
moments, when the surfaces will be
ready to adhere. If the leakage is not
noticed until the bag is required for
use, it may be temporarily repaired by
bit of the rubber adhesive strapping
used for surgeons. This strapping, by
the way, is very inexpensive and is
easily procured from any druggist. It's
possibilities as a mending agent in all
sorts of emergencies are almost unlim-
tied.
Plaster casts may often be mended
by means of a cement which is made
by dissolving small pieces of celluloid
in ether. After standing for some
time pour off the superfuous liquid.
The pasty substance that remains will
be found to be a useful cement that
dries rapidly and is not affected by
water. Do not prepare near fire.
The best cement for mending or
binary china is pure white Lead or white
paint. Set the mended article away in
cool place and let it stand for few
weeks before using, when its frac-
lures will be found to be securely and
almost invisibly healed

er substance apply to the metallic

rough. Then wash the acid off with a
little clean water and there will be
no difficulty about adhesion.
TO clean zinc use one part of nitric
acid to six parts of water. Keep this
mixture in an earthenware jar and APP
ply with soft cloth.
To remove stains from marble apply
mixture OF sulphuric acid andlemon-
juice in equal parts.
Bottles or other containers that have
held oil may be very easily cleansed
and frightened by throwing in some
hot coffee grounds, which will abs orb
quickly every trace of the oil.

"Above the region of the rapids the
river is almost stagnant, and the des-
ignation of the aguas muertas, or dead

to it. 1t is deep and still water, full

which the palm thickets of the delta
reappear."
Where the canal will leave the river
and enter Lake Nicaragua is situated
the little town of San Carlos. 1t is a
picturesque place, Overlooking with
the quaint customs of the Central
American countries. Heretofore it has
scarcely been heard of outside of Mic

The delta of the San Juan, like that
of all tropical rivers, is low and
marshy, the banks almost down to the
level of the waters. These low banks
are overgrown with reeds, mangroves
and a low species of the palm tree,
the latter forming extensive thickets
in the swamps. The doctor will have
to travel with the engineer while work
is being done in this section of the
country, else it will prove as great a
burial place as has the fever-infected
districts surrounding the Panama
project, where thousands of men have
laid down their lives in an Intellectual
effort to connect the two oceans.
But this swamp of the San Juan
delta reaches but a short distance up
the stream. Fifteen miles from where
the river empties into the Caribbean
sea the banks begin to get higher, and
soon these become steep entertainments
of a reddish clay, rising to height of
from ten to twenty feet above the edge
of the water.
Julius Froebel, who spent many
years in exploring the Central Ameri-
can countries, has given to us one of
the best descriptions of this San Juan
river. OF this section Of the stream he
says:
"The low palm thickets of the
swampy region disappear, and vege-
tation of splendid trees, mostly ex-
ogenous, overhung with blooming
vines, take their place. Flowery gar
lands, swung from branch to branch,
hang over the stream, while now and
then the slender shaft of one of the
tallest species of the palm tribe watts
its little crown of feathery leaves high
over the gorgeous masses of the
heavier foliage"
To quote from the writings of this
man, who made the San Juan his home
for months, who studied it from every
viewpoint, who knew it as the Missis-
sippi river pilot knows our own "Fa-
Their of Waters" we give his descrip-
ton of the river farther up as it was
before the hand of man had touched
its natural beauty:
Eight or ten miles higher up the
region of the randales, or rapids, be-
gins. Here the river, locked in between
wooded hills, presents a new charac-
ter of scenery. The trees. covering the
hillsides with an almost impenetrabl :
forest, exhibit an extra ordinary va
riety of forms in striking contrast.
The most interesting situation in this
region is that of the Castillo Viejo

W. terest increases in that little
strip of territory in Central America
through which this country proposes
to build a waterway connecting the
two great oceans.
The beginning of the work upon this
great industrial project will be the sig
nal for the migration southwark of
thousands of Americans, each eager to
secure a chance to assist in the mann
moth work. 1t will give employment
to many. Who the many may be no
one knows. Among them may be
friends of the very reader, and, if so,
they will have an immediate interest
in the territory in which those friends
are working.
Within the past few years the old
Nicaragua Canal company has made
some changes in the territory through
which the canal will be built, but aside
from these it is very much as nature
left it. Great dredges have been at
work in the Greytown harbor and the
mouth of the San Juan river, which
will play so prominent part in the
construction. A railroad also follows
much of the proposed course, the trains
of which force their way through a
tropical jungle as they travel from the
little city of Greytown towards the wa
tiers of Lake Nicaragua.
The banks of the San Juan river are
lined almost from the source to the
mouth with a dense tropical growth.
Great trees form part of this growth,
and the branches of these bear vege-
tation of vines, climbers and parasites,
closely interviewer. So dense is this
vegetation that it appears almost as a
solid wall forming grand canyon for
the little river.
