American Women
Teachers For the Filipinos.

Accomplished American Women
Teachers For the FiIipinos.
Beyond doubt the best gift the Unit
ed States government has sent to the
Philippines is the army of American
schoolmistresses. They will be reve-
lation of womankind to the small
brown people. With their dignity,
brightness, independence and strong,
resourceful character - yes, and their
good looks, too-they constitute regi-
ment of women whose equal, take them
all in all, cannot be found among the
same number of their sex in any other
nation.
Two patches of them left San Fran
cisco for Manila In July-one by the
transport Buford, the other by the
Thomas. Many of these ladies are col
lege graduates, besides being trained,
experienced teachers.
What these American teachers know
and can do may be judged from the
credentials sent to the government
when they applied for appointment.
The superintendent of sewing, for in
stance, is Miss Emma r. Ross, from
Haverhill, Mass 1t would naturally
be supposed that woman sent as in
structor in sewing among ex-pupils of
the Spanish nuns, who do the finest
needlework of any living women, would
be capable, as Miss Ross abundantly is.

Things Which Are Useful to Re-
member.
Raw potato juice is an excellent
cleanser. 1t will remove stains from
the hands and also from woolen mate
rials
Blacklead should be mixed either
with turpentine or with soapy water,
for thus a good polish is soon produced.
The smell of onions may easily be re-
moved from the hands by rubbing over
with celery and then washing them
with cold water.
Alabaster may be cleaned by apply
ing paste of starch mixed with water
move with stiff brush, when all dirt
will come away with it.
A bowl Of quickllme kept in a damp
cupboard will dry the air, but it must
be renewed occasionally. as it loses
power.
To make red wash for bricks put
an ounce of glue into three quarts of
water and then gently heat it until
the glue is dissolved, then add an
ounce of alum. Mix together half a
pound of venetian red and half an
ounce of Spanish brown. Gradually
pour the liquid on to the powder, STIR
ring it well to make it smooth. Be
sure that the bricks or hearthstones
are quite clean. and then put on the
color with large fiat brush. The col
or may be varied to suit individual
taste by adding or diminishing the
quantity Of red or brown.
Unbleached calico shrinks. therefore
In making it up one extra inch in each
yard should be allowed for shrinkage.
To clean black cloth mix one part
spirits of ammonia with three parts
of hot water. Apply with sponge and
rinse off with clean water.
Cold tea is excellent for cleansing
paint, but for white paint milk is still
better.

PURPLE FRINeED ORCHID.

Orchid, my orchid, II make dell
OF messy words, wood mirrors of dark speech
And with purple sLove" alone alight
"A poem all OF cleaning uonody
That leads through glnmer1ng LEAKAGE OF graTl
thought
Cnto one rosy blossom in the dusk;
My orchid, il l shut you in my heart
Nor rob the hemlock twilight of its star.
Whom none but lovers find, and who finds ncns
But lovers, since the time and long before
The Cherokee's foot upon the messy marge
Passed you eontemptuous, as the mountaincer
Now passing idly notes and nothing heeds;
My orchid, If l give your scent voice
Strange as the sphinx's riddle, how your flower
Is human and inhuman, part of man
And infinitely apart from man, who plucks
But cannot take your beauty when he goes,
Who brought your beauty with him when he
came.
o orchid, purple cloud of winged starsl
purple crown and sweetness OF the dark
Spirit, in habit this the dust of speech
And rise up living at its somber heart
To end thy monody with rosy "Loyel''
1t is all made Of grace and fantasy,
All made of fragrance and Of purple air;
1t is all made of death for life to be;
Find it who can. and how he finds beware.

BIG PRICES FOR ANIMALS.
A Small Sized Fortune Needed to
Buy a Giraffe.

A Small Sized Fortune Needed to
Buy q Giraffe.
Because of the difficulty of getting 1t
to America and of keeping it alive aft
er it arrives a good giraffe is quoted at
$1,000.
Next to the giraffe in the aristocracy
of cost come the rhinoceros and the
hippopotamus, worth from $4,000 to
$1,000 each. If a dealer could breed
these animals, he could get rich. but
the big mammals rarely breed in cap
tivity. About the only place in America
where hippopotami have been known
to raise their young is in the menag-
erie in Central park, New York.
A chimpnnzee of size is worth $1,000.
and when one reaches the intelligence
of the late Mr.. Crowley, Chico or Jo-
hanna he is beyond a fixed price. The
monkey kind are most uncertain prop
erty. The animal man says they are
certain to die. But the ordinary ones
can be bought very cheaply.
One can buy a nice young baby ele-
phant for 81 900 at times, but a really
good animal is worth from $1,SO0 to
$1,000. An elephant does not command
the maximum price because of the
beauty of his countenance, the ele-
gance of his figure, his intellectual en-
dowmentS or his size, but because Of
sweet, sunny disposition. A mean
elephant Is about the most evil of liy-
ing things. Sooner or later he has to
be killed. usually after he has slain
two or three keepers and done more
damage than he is worth. OF two ami
mails of equally good disposition the
larger and finer commands the higher
price, of course, but the most magnifi-
cent beast with an inclination for mur-
der isn't worth as much as a very COM
mon one that is trustworthy-that Is,
ordinarily so. for the sweetest tenn
pered have days when they seem in-
spired of satan.-Junior Munsey.

Ice From the Sea bottom.

In the Baltic sea and in many northern
regions the lower water is SO much colder
than the water at the surface that ice
forms ut the bottom while the surface
waters seem warm. This phenomenon
puzzled scientists for many years. The
ice forms in small cakes or flakes and rises
to the top, where it melts if the weather
is warm, or the cakes freeze together into
a solid mass il the weather is cold. Sci.
eptists have discovered that the phenom.
enon is due to an undercurrent of very
low temperature. Boatmen, when they
see the ice cakes rising to the surface,
hurriedly take to the shore if frigid
weather exists, for otherwise their boats
would be rapidly icebound, and they
would be unable to escape.

FRENCH KNOTS THE STYLE.

H ILEs
Do you know how to make French
knots?
Too bad if you don't. because French
knots O must have. and it costs a
neat little sum of money to order them
done.
You can do no better than sit down
some leisure hour and practice until
you learn, or get some one who knows
how to teach you.
You know what they are, OF course?
Just dots made by thread scattered
along a cloth surface in regular geo.
netrical professions or In scattered
groups.
You car follow any design you
choose. The one especial trick is to
make a good French knot-one that
stays in and is not enticed out OF ex-
istence when the material is washed.
One that stays in and is not enticed
