LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
How 1t II Saved by Americans and
Good MethodA in Times Of Plague
and. Epidemic.

War is not always hell, at least in its
results, says the Medical Record. The
number Of lives, saved in Cuba and
Porto Rico by the sanitary measures
which the result of the Spanish war
empowered us to institute is already
almost incalculable, but some notion
of it may be gained by comparing the
death rate of Havana or of Santiago
de Cuba now withawhat it was before
the American occupation. The saving
in the Philippines is less apparent, be-
cause of the distance of the islands
and because all. the =outcry has been
of killing and of torture, but it is
none the less real. Gen. Lloyd
Wheaton, who recently returned, after
being three years and a half in Luzon,
is quoted as saying that 'the devasta-
lions of war have cost many lives and
the loss smong the natives has no
doubt been large, but when one takes
into consideration the hundreds of
thousands of lives that have been saved
by reason of the sanitary precautions
of the American army and the civil
commission, that loss by war seems in
finitesimal.' Smallpox, he says, be-
came epidemic soon after our troops
entered Manila, and would have caused
frightful mortality among the natives
but for compulsory vaccination. Later,
when bubonic plague appeared, the
army medical men stamped it out en-
ergetically. Now cholera is there, but
it is being gotten well under control
and is claiming only a small proportion
of the victims it would have had under
the former unsanitary regime. These
three dangers" Gen. Wheaton says.
shave been met and overcame by the
Americans, aqd it is perhaps no exag-
geration to say that half a million lives

expansion joints, at intervals of 30

BARBAR1c ORDINATIONS.
Magnificent State Ceremonies q
the Cr0wning of Kings In
Ancient Times.

Coronations belong to all ages and
all races. Somewhere in the records
of an eastern traveller is a graphic
picture of the installation of the en-
peror of the Tartars on August "a,
1926, relates the St. James Gazette.
Kuyuk Khan sat in his gilt chair out
side a golden tent upon river bank,
and the Tartar chiefs, gathering be-
fore him, prayed and commanded
that "you have power and dominion
over u.s. Rising from his gilt chair,
Kuyan Khan replied: IF you wish
that I be your king, are you resolved
and disposed each of you to do all
that I shall recommend, to come
when I call, to go where 1 send, and
to kill whom l shall order to be
killed?" eyes," said the chiefs; and
after the king had promised that
henceforth his word alone should be
his sword, the emperor was addressed
as follows: '.Look on high and see
God, and look down on the felt
wherein thou sittist. If thou dost
govern well thou shalt reign in power
and magnifcence, and the whole
earth shall be subject to thee; but it
i'll, thou shalt be poor, miserable,
vile and contemplate, and shalt not
have power even over the felt where
on thou sittist."
One Of the mos. magnificent state
ceremonies of the ancient world was
the coronation CT the king of Abys-
sinia. The daughters of the judges
Of the supreme court, holding cord
of crimson silk breast high, called
upon the king to advance, and, as he
approached the cord, demanded:
"Who are you?" II am your king
the king Of Son." he answered; and
the damsels cried: "You shall not
pass; you are not our king" Retir-
ing, and again advancing, the king
declared: u am your hng-the king
Of Israel" and again his answer was
rejected. Challenged third time,
the king repeated his first answer.

acclaimed king Of Abysainis.

IN THE EVENING HUSH.

what witchery dwells in the evening
"hen the fires burn low and the shadows
roam
Like fitting ghosts where the dim light
falls
In pickering shapes on the dusky walls?
"nat spirits come when the heart goes
And moves again DER the darkened
track
That walk with me through the long ago
In the evening hush when the lights are
low?
What shadows DER the dim room creep
10 silent mourn or to pause and weep
And place q. wreath on some crumbled
tomb
Halt lost in the dust of the ancient
gloom?
Forgotten shapes that in silence come
When the ears are dulled and the lips
are dumb,
IN the evening hush when the lights are
Gray specters out of the vanished Past
Come stealing forth; and all flying fast,
The mystic ones from the Future greet
And clasp white hands as the winding
sheet
with the scent Of a long dead roses
And Memory's visions come and go,
In the evening hush when the lights are
low! -
All. Always thus, in the eerie time
Twixt hight and day, I can hear the
chime
From the clock of Fate on either hand
From the curtained Past and the un-
known land
i have dreamed about, but never seen:
And I bark to both as I sit between,
While the white ones mingling come and
In the evening hush when the lights are
There are ghosts Of dreams that
dreamed when young:
When Hope her shimmering bright scarf
flung,
All jeweled, streaming adown the sky,
. And Loves bright chariots Numbered by.
Bright dreams they were; but the bright
est now
Are they of the palest and care-lined
brow
When the ghosts Of the old days come
and go
In the evening hush when the lights are
low?
The freight dies and the night Is here;
The Pickering shadows disappear
To roam again in the far-off land
And beckon me with spectral hand.
All, well! not long till I, too, shall be
"A silent one of the company,
And haunt the gloom and the firelight's
glow
In the evening hush when the lights are
low.

A DOmestf Discussion Which Brings

"But want to talk to you about this
Panama canal, George. It's like other
canals, isn't it?'
Eyes, my dear; only it's wider and
deeper and shorter"
"But it's just ditch, isn't it?''
eyes, my dear, it's just a glorifed
ditch"
"And what will they do with the dirt
they shovel out of it, George?"
"They will dig a hole and bury it,
my love-"
''There, now, you're stringing me.
How long is it going to take to dig it,
dear?"
ooh, a half dozen years"
''My! but that seems long while to
wait if you are in a hurry to get
through. And suppose that they'll
break bottle or something the day
it's done, and then somebody will pull
string or something and let the wa
tiers of the Pacific flow into the Allan
tic. That's fine, isn't it?"
"It's-really grand, my love-"
"And l was thinking of another
thing, George. You know what fish
erman papa is, and how he loves to
fish for tuna, but hates to go away
across to California to find them. Do
you think the tuna will swim through
the canal so papa can catch them down
in Florida?"
'Why not, my love? Ihave not doubt
that all sorts of things from the Pa

PHILIPPINE WHISKY.
Doctor Tells Something About Its
Nature and Its Effect on the
Soldiers.

Vino il manufactured in the nipa
swamps around Manila bay and the
contiguous lagoons. Nipa does not

The greatest nest Of distiueries is in
the vast swamps in the delta of the
Rio Grande. The parent stalk of the
nipa fruticans is tapped and the sap
collected much in the same manner
that we collect maple sap. A native
fits out his banka (wooden dugout),
which is IS to SO feet long and 80
inches beam, with 10 or IL ollas, or
earthen bowls, holding from three
to five gallons each, and paddles
through the narrow, waterways be-
tween the small islands densely COW
cred with the nipa palm, and FREE
quently without leaving his position
in the banka can jab tube into the
spongy stem and tie fast section
of bamboo to collect the sap. Max
ing his rounds again he empties
these containers into his ollas and
paddles off to the distilleries, where
it is disposed of for few centavos.
At the distillery the sap is mixed
with the juice of the sugar cane
about Is per cent. of the latter being
used-fermented, distilled and in u
crude way rectified, says writer in
the Philadelphia Medical Journal. The
product is vino, taking that name from
the Spanish word for wine. Vino is a
pungent, colorless fluid exhibiting an
alcoholic strength of from so to so

The native never drinks vino as it is
in the market. He dilutes it with wa

drinks it as ''anisette,"' in the manner

The intoxication from vino is purely

these roads; that in all that vast por-
tion OF our state there are no other
means of railway transportation. He
saw that the combination of these two
reads meant a shutting out of all other
roads and an absolute monopoly of the
transportation business of two-thirds
of the state. He saw that it was the
death of railroad competition He
nation to wreck the political future OF
any citizen, but he never faltered or
wavered. AS on the field of battle he
saw before him only his country's flag
and the states welfare. He was elect
ed to stand between the people and
just such danger, and he instantly
decided upon action. The letter of the
law of the state was plain. There
could be no question as to its intent,
and the legislature had passed it to
meet just such an emergency The
only question was the ability of the
state to break down the barriers Of
technical law points raised by keen
corporation lawyers, and so force the
matter to the plain issue. The ma
chinery Of the states law department
was at once set at work on behalf of
the people. The governor grappled
the problem, and not' discouraged by
temporary failure, nor deferred by
threats, he pushed the suits until he
has now the satisfaction of knowing
that there are three well under way
against the merger company, the
Northern Securities Company Of New
Jersey. That these suits will be
fought to finish is a certainty if Gov.
Van SAINT is reelected. He has braved
the bitter opposition of the railroad
combination, and it is doing all money
can do to defeat him; but he has not,
and he never will, hesitate to do his
duty and enforce the law. The people
know this. They know that if he is
reelected the states suit. the one
most feared by the railroads, will not
be dropped. And they are going to
elect him by an overwhelming major
ity as an Endorsement of his action
in their behalf, and rebuke to mo-
nopoly that seeks to control not alone
the transportation of the state. but its
politics.
Mr.. Rosing says that the railroad
merger question is no longer a politi-
cal issue, that it is in the courts end
the courts may be trusted to take care
of it. Through his committee, how
ever, he says that there is not case
now pending in courts on the merger
question. How easy it would be for
Mr. Rosing, if elected governor,
through the support of these same
merger railroads, to repay them by
having the suit brought by the state,
which is the suit most feared by the
roads. dropped. The people will take
no chances on that.

Few men are as well known today
in the United States as is Samuel R.
Van SAINT. governor of Minnesota.
There are not many people in this
great land who cannot give the name
OF the governor of this state; and yet
there are but few other governors Of
all the states in the union whose
names even the best informed citizens
know. To be one of the distinguished
men Of a nation of S0,000,000 of people
is an honor not to be lightly treated;
it is matter of great pride to every
loyal Minnesotan that our governor is
known and honored throughout our
country No citizen can but feel a
thrill Of satisfaction to have those Of
distant states speak in high words Of
praise Of the official head of our state.
Gov. Van SAINT deserves this honor
and this distinction, for he has won
it by being true to the people. That
he is a man of courage every incident
in his life shows Never has he WINGED
in the face of danger, never has he
turned his back on a public or private
duty. He is every inch man and a
