Washington Post.


A story is told of Senator Quay to the
effect that when he once suffered financial
reverses he let everything 60 except his
library. The story is easily believed Quay
is one OF the best-read men in the Senate.
At his home in Beaver Falls he has a fine
collection of books. while almost the
largest room in his K-street residence in
Washington is lined with bookcases as
high as the ceiling and built into the
walls. Every night after dinner Senator
Quay is TO be found in this big room. sit
ting in an easy chair with a book in his
hand. He always reads with the light
over his left shoulder.
Quay's taste in the matter of literature
Is not confined TO any one class OF books.
He likes a good novel, with plenty of ac-
ton I'm every chapter while history is
always his delight One of his visitors one
night found him porting over half a dozen
large volumes which told Of the colonial
history OF New York. He Is also a great
collector of Napoleonic books. He regards
Napoleon as one of the greatest charac-
tiers in the worlds history and has a rare
bust OF the great Corsican in his library.

SAVAGERY OF FILIPINOS
VENGEANCE wREAKED ON NATIVES
EMPLOYED BY AMERICANS.
Three Policemen Flung into a Well
After Being Hacked with BoIOs-
Other AtrociOus Grimes.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-Many Filipinos
who accept service under American rule
are visited with awful vengeance by their
fellow-countrymen. The records of a case
have been received at the War Depart
ment, in which three native policemen.
who had been sent from Laoag to San
Nicholas, Ilocos Norte, for duty at the lat
ter point, were seized and bound by an
armed band of Filipino outlaws. taken
before priest to be confessed, and then
flung alive into well, after being hacked
with Bolos. Their assailants then filed up
the we'll with loose earth. One of the band.
Wenceslao Rosales, who was brought to
trial, was sentenced to be hanged.
Another native policeman met his death
at the hands Of outlaw band in the
barrio of San Antonio, Laguna province.
The outlaws were lying in ambush await
ing the passing of patrol OF three police
men, and upon their approach the waiting
F1lipinos sprang out and captured one of
the three. A few days later his body was
found in neighboring river, weighted with
a heavy rock and showing wounds through
his heart and in his neck. Two of the mem
bers of the outlaw band, who were cap
tured, were sentenced by the military COM
mission 10 be hanged.
Two F'ilipinos who took part in the muir
der of an unknown native accused of being
an American spy, Deneaded the DOdy ana
burned it i'm the city of Manila, were SEN
fenced to be hanged.
Another outlaw band seized a native man
and woman for no apparent motive and
killed them by striking them with clubs on
the back of their necks. Mariana Zales, a
native member of the band, when brought
TO trial. gave the following rather vague
explanation: "They were relatives, uncle
and aunt of mine, and L had to do it to
save my life"
The military commission which tried him
found him guilty of murder, but the SEN
tence was confinement at hard labor for
twenty years. General Chaffee approved
the sentence and fully concurred in the re-
mark of the department commander in for
warding the papers in the case, that the
sentence was Inadequate.

AUTOMOBILE GLASSES.

To the various sort of glasses de-
signed for drivers use have now been
added automobile glasses, especially
designed for the use Of the automobile
driver. These are not worn in the city,
where with the restrictions on the
speed of automobiles they are not
needed; but they are worn in the
country, where the automobilist I'M
haekes the machine, and let's 1t go at
40 or so miles an hour, more or less.
Going at that speed his eyes need pro-
lection, and this is afford by the auto
mobile glasses.
These glasses are spectacles fitted
with very large shell-shaped or con-
vexed glasses, the size and shape CIV
ing large field of vision. Attached
to the frame Is mask that projects
high enough above the glasses to cover
the forehead of the wearer, up under
the peak of the cap, and that extends
below the glasses and out at the sides
along the spectacle bows, sufficiently
to cover the entire fall, front and
sides.
For winter wear, when some warmth
in it would be desirable, the mask is
made of suede leather, lined with silk;
for summer USE those glasses are made
with the mask of unlined silk, either
of the gray suede color or of black.
Automobile glasses are a French
notion, and originally all those sold
here were imported from France. Now
they are made here. Lots OF them are

FLOWERS FOR MARKET.
Strangely Neglected Opportunities

Strangely Neglected Opportunities for
Profit in the South.
Florida is growing Bermuda onions,
Bermuda potatoes, etc; is it not rea-
sonable to suppose she could grow Ber-
muda lilies as well? AS a matter of
fact, lilies as fine as can be produced in
the world are already being grown in
Florida, but so far nobody seems to
have gone into the business regularly
for supplying the northern markets.
Florida lilies might be shipped to a
northern destination in shorter time,
and arrive in better shape, than is pos
sible from the Island of Bermuda. The
semi tropical climate of South Georgia
and Florida is especially suited to the
growing of flowers. The floral wealth
of the Peninsular State, indeed, gave
it it's name. oddly enough, however,
the most Of the flowers are grown in
the north. Down here we pay little
attention to their commercial possibili-
ties
In cold Pennsylvania and New York,
and colder Michigan, several men have
become millionaires in the seed bust
ness, Notwithstanding they were under
the necessity of providing expensive
glass covers for their young plants. In
southern Florida there would never be
necessity for covering young plants.
Bulbs for hyacinths, tuberoses and the
various other bulb plants could be
brought practically to maturity in
Florida in time for shipment to the
north to catch the early spring warmth
and delight the northerners with strong,
perfect, early open-air blooms. 1T seems
there ought to be money in the bulb
and seed business in South Georgiasand
Florida to those who go about the bust
ness intelligently and are willing to
give time and patience to the work Of
building up a eputation.-Savannah

COOKING SWEET POTATOES.
Approved Methods in the South from
Time Immemorial.

Time Immemorial.
There are fifty ways of cooking a
sweet potato, but there is only one best
way. That is by baking, preferably In
the old-fashioned brick ovens, now un-
luckily almost extinct. The old brlck
ovens are passing away with the old
fashioned colored mammies. The tive
were companions and friends, and the
delightful dishes that they turned out
by mutual efforts were solaces to cpl
cures. A stove oven, however, will
bake a sweet potato well, provided the
heat is not too high. 1t requires at
least six hours of moderate heat TO
bring a potato to perfection. The skin
should be left on the potato, OF course.
At the expira ton of six hours, II the
potato is of good quality and has been
out of the ground long enough to have
ripened. that is. for the sap to be out
of It, it will be found soft throughout
and delightfully."- sweet. 1t may be
served hot or cold, with butter, meats,
gravy, or milk, or 1t is very good to be
eaten without accompaniment of any
sort.
After baking, roasting is the next
is the habit of the darlSies of the south
to bank potatoes in the hot ashes OF
their fireplaces and let them remain
over night The next morning they are
found to be done to a turn. This meth
cd brings out the flavor practically as
well as baking, though it sometimes
results in one side of the potato being
burned 1t is Objectionable because the
skins are less clean when cooked in
ashes.
Steaming will cook a potato In a
shorter time than either baking or
roasting. and the steamed potato is not
at all bad eating; but it makes the
meat somewhat watery and less sweet.
The same applies to boiling. There are
those, however. who prefer the steam
ed or boiled potato to the baked or
roasted.
There are of course, many dlshes TO
be made from the sweet potato, such
as pies, "opnes, croquettes, etc with
most of them, however, 1T is like spoil
ing an excellent thing only to produce
something that is no better.-Savannah
