Valuable Woods Found
in Philippine Islands
Inc orsat Forests Contain Many Rare
species Of Trees That Are Of Value

n ANY an ungarnered fortune lie.
N in the timber lands be1 Of the phils hrs
1ppines. The trees of the is
lands are by far more valuable than
are all the gold mines that have ever
been discovered there. The Philip
pines forests contain a wood for al
most every conceivable use that wood
is put to, and in great quantities.
In years past, however. but little
use mas been made of the riches Of
this great storehouse of nature. Ma
tive consumption calls for but little
save the bamboo, but of this every-
thing is made, from the house in
which the native lives to the crude
furniture with which he sets his home.
On the banks of many streams. in
the midst of many woods, the bam-
boo grows as rule in great, feathery
clumps, so close that their big reeds
scrape as they continually sway in
the wind, spread and tower, Charm
1ngly picturesque and useful adorn-
ments of nature" Food (salad from
very young shoots), fuel, furniture,
and almost anything you please the
bamboo can be turned into. Look at
the list of things, a list prepared by q
very careful hand, and yet the cata-
logue is but begun: Rats, furniture
of all kinds, scaffolding, spoons, carts,
baskets, fans, sledges, fishing traps,
fumes, water pipes, hats, dry and
liquid measures, cups, fencing, canoe
fittings, bridges, carrying poles for
any purpose, pitchforks, ropes.
Bamboo grows most prolifical1y on
the islands. The hut of the native is

own country, and as they grow to real
ize the charm of life among the Colo
RADIO mountains or in the Yellowstone
park the tendency is toward greater
travel west instead of east for health
and recreation. The railroads, too, are
alive to the new conditions and have
made lower tourist rates this year than
ever before. And then the train time
has been vastly improved, SO that now
it takes only one night on the road be-
tween the Atlantic coast and Denver,
that is, by using the Burlington's fast
train from Chicago.

TRADES FOR LONG LIFE.
Callinxs That Are Likely To Make
You Live Over Your Al.
lotted Time.

! No trade in the world is better and
healthier than dye making from coal
tar. There is no manual work that
comes near it, for tar, and the smell OF
it, is the finest of all tonics and tissue
builders; so much SO that the average
life of a tar worker comes out at SO
years. The mortality is 80 per cent.
lower, too, than in any other factory
trades. Distilling saccharin from
the tar is equally good, and the bony
framework and circulation of work.
er in tar is always first class. Malig-
nant diseases are almost unknown in
aniline dye factories, and even in epi-
denies the workers suffer little. And
there is nothing like a tarworks for
keeping off influenza. Yet the work OF
actually making the tar, which falls
to gas and coke works, is virulently
anhealthy, because of the sulphur
fumes; but when the finished tar il
passed on to the works it brims with
health and strength, and the weakest
men improve when working it.
Eighty-sixyears is marvellous aver
aye, ny Cuc way, 4OA VIC 0'SA"5S "a
the population is 40.
Still better, although not factory
trade, like tar-working, is cowkeep-
ing. Not herding cows in the country,
for that is neither more nor less
healthy than sny other farming work,
but tending cow stables. Here the
average length of life is IS, and scores
of stalled cowkeepers live over the ago
Of 100. This is because COW is tho
only animal whose presence is thor
oughly healthy for mantle very
breath of COW is beneficial. Con-
sumption and kindred ills are utter
strangers in cow stables, and the best
thing man can do to lengthen his life
is to look after cows, and, if possible,
sleep in room above the stable.
There is very strange difference in
trades that go on side by side in the
way of life-lengthening. The labor OF
wheeling a barrow, in particular, has
such strengthening effect on the
muscles and joints that confirmed bar
row-wheelers show the best average
in all the building trades-nearly ~
years, and great many touch the 100.
This is largely because, if a man
wheels barrow properly, the wide-
apart arms open the chest, and help to
strengthen the lungs in wonderful
way. Whereas, though welding a
pickax seems as if it should be fine
exercise, it really knocks the life
average down to As. The partly
STOPPING position, and the bent-in-
wards position of the arms, contracts
the chest dangerously, cramping the
lungs, till they are easy victims to
pneumonia.
Iron smelling puts ten years on to
the average life of man, if he has
good lungs to start with; but it he is
weak-lunged it is liable to cut him of
altogether. Coal mining is not good.
but copper mining brings the average
up to so years with run, for the COM
position of the ore, when powdered,
has an extremely strengthening effect
on the blood and nerves.
A frst-class trade to put few extra
years on to your life is whisky distill-
ing. The vapors of distillery are ex-
tremely health-giying, and fatal foe
to disease and sickness germs of every
kind.

Adopts Pension system.

Tn, Pullman company is arranging
to establish pension system for its
entire force of employees, numbering
between $4,000 and $4,000 persons.
Sixty years will be made the limit
of service. For each year An allow
ance of one per cent. of the average
monthly pay for the las. ten months
is to be given. Thus employees who
have been with the company 40
years, receiving $50 a month, would
get 40 per cent. of $50, or $40 month.

of his native land can see it without
the trouble and expense of crossing

harbors. This is all because the tide
of trade is in our favor. We ship more
