Yankees in Java.
There are very few Yankees in Java.
The Standard Oil Company has offices in
Batavia, Samarang and Soerbaia. There
are one or two large coffee exporting firms,
and now and then commercial traveller
or so. Our consul Mr.. B. s. Rairden, has
lived in Java for many years, and he is
very efficient. He was long vice consul,
but President Mckinley elevated him to
the head of the consulate. He has wide
acquaintance among the Dutch and the
better class natives. He speaks Dutch and
understands well how to deal with the peo-
pie. He Is at the same time enthu-
siastic American, and is doing what he can
to advance the interests of the United
States.
1t is important that our government be
well represented here. The officials are
highly educated, and they are as rule
able men. The people are inquisitive, and
as the foreign colony is small every one
knows all about his neighbor. Batavia is a
large city but as far as it's European pop
ulation is concerned 1t is little more than
village and the people are quite as village
like in asking questions. An American
connected with one of our large monopo-
lies doing business here gave me some of
his experiences. Said he:
when / first came to Batavia I was
asked by Dutchman how much salary
got. told him biuntly that / thought
that was none of his bIanked business.

The Name Aelfred,

From the London Times.
There is an absurd traditional mystery
about everything Anglo-Saxon; Lord Rose
berry made use Of it at Winchester for
post-prandial joke about King Alfreds
name which may shock some people and
puzzle others; though after his admirable
serious address. which we all heard per-
fectly in gale of wind, he was well enti-
tied to jest at iesure. The kings name was
undoubtedly written Aelfred in his own
time not only in English but in Latin. No
less undoubtedly the first syllable was pro-
nounced exactly as we pronounce ~ow
The Anglo-Saxon "Ae'' is not a diphthong.

correctly acquired by foreigners. This dis

Sumaby under Anglo-French influence,
after the conquest. Accordingly nost
modern English readers when they first
meet with it think it must stand for some
unfamiliar sound, whereas it means onlv
what they have said all their lives; and, if
any one ever said "Elfred'' or the like IT
was Norman or Frenchman who could
not pronounce English.
AS to the modern orthography Freeman
wrote Aelfred. But I humbiy prefer Alfred
for common use; first, for the same reason
that prefer Virgil to Vergil and Mahomet
to Muhammed-namely, that it is the form
fixed in modern English by the usage of
our classical authors; secondly. because

The contrast between the hotels of Java

Outside of Manila there is hardly a hotel

The big man with his sleeves rolled up

fact, but far diligent inquiry has
been able to discover it is true although

are subjected to all the other ills that
human flesh is heir to, but consumption
they do not have. So far as a reporter was
able to learn, not single case is on record
of butcher in this city being afflicted with
the incurable wasting of the lungs which
claims it's hundreds of thousands of victims
annually.

and has been often the subject of their
comment, although none of them can give
a reason for it.

Ruling Through the Natives
don't know that the Filipinos could be
ruled through their own people as the
Dutch rule Java,but should think IT might
be possible on some of the islands, such as
those of the Sulu archipelago and Minda-
mao. The Javanese are not unlike the Mo-
ros in some respects. They are Mohamme-
dams and they are ruled by their chiefs
For long time they had slavery among
them, and it was late in the sixties before
it was abolished. the government paying
each owner a certain amount for his slaves.
The prices varied according to age from
$40 to $40. the latter sum being paid for
able-bodied men.
great deal has been published about the
terrible oppression of the Javanese by the
Dutch. This may have been the case in the
past. 1t is not so now. The natives have
to do police duty and work on the roads in
lieu OF taxes, and some of them are en-
ployed in the government plantations but
no one labors for any time without pay
except when doing work for his taxes
There is no doubt but that the people are
far better off than those of India or China

series OF notes TO whistle when you are

ten the proper emphasis and value cannot
be given. The only instrument which can
Initiate birds songs and whistles is the
human voice. Even then the imitator must
be thoroughly familiar with the bird In its
everyday life. He must know the peculiar.
vibrant and melancholy timbre which so
many birds have IN their songs, and he
must know Its value. There is a second
call which is used by the larks. This call
Is heard most frequently during the breed
