GOOD OLD ARMY BEANS.
As PFeDared by the Expert afiIitars SsChef," Ts.ev Are a Most PaIa-
 table FOoa

"Beans are the soldiers mainstay,' says Thomas F. Dillon, a retired Unit
 ed States cavalry officer, according tc the Philadelphia Record. '.The Amer ican soldier, at pinch, can equal the performance of an Arab on a handful
 of dried dates-he can ride and fight all day on a mere handful of beans properly prepared. There is nothing to equal the army baked bean. Your celebrated Boston baked are but $ poor imitation of the succulent article turned out by a regular army cook There's anart in cooking them that no body but an army man can ever ac. quire. I've been on service when fol a week at q time our menu consisted o1 beans for breakfast, beans for dinner and beans for supper; and did the troopers tire of the monotony l Not a bit of it. They sang for more and in spite of hard work and lack of variety at mess the fellows actually got fat. That demonstrated to me the nutritiye quality of beans, and made it point to get into the good graees of the cook and learn how to bake them. It isn't such an elaborate proc. ess, but there's trick in doing 1t right. My friends are all fond of beans the way cook them, and many d time I've been asked for the recipe, but that's a thing I don't give away to everyone. You see,- people enjoy a dish all the better when they knowit's something that not everybody can get up. It might take some of the zest away if they could say of my beans: q know how to make them" ~s..t

LAPS AS RIVALS TO YANKEES.
Qualities Which Make Them Dam
 Berous in the Line of Indus trial Competition.

A New York man who has been for some years the financial representa- tive of American capitalists engaged in manufactures in KoEe, Japan, here on a vacation, takes sanguine view of the prospects before American i'm vestors in the Mikado's land, reports the New York Times.S& . ?
 In Kobe, which has in a few years sprung from an insignificant seaport into a great industrial center, much of the capital invested in factories is American and European, and most of the managers and foremen of the works hail from the United States or Great Britain,
 Japan's steady refusal to grant protection to foreign patents greatly increases her competitive power among the nations. Through the in comparable imitativeness of her me- chanics the country is enabled to produce machinery at less than half of it's selling price in other lands, and but for the protective tariff would te able to flood the United States wish American inventions at price 50 per cent. less than that at present ob- tainable here. %5 :,
 The nimble Jap excels all Orientals and most Europeans in quickness of perception, in aptitude, in adaptiv- ness, and in the practice of the science of applied knowledge. The Japanese workman has a great ca pacity for long-sustained labor. He works with will and delights in thoroughness. Every mechanic is an artist who takes a keen pride in his work.
 These qualities and the cheapness of labor and of living combine to make the Jap the dangerous competi- tor of American and European work men that he is, and that he must more and more become so long as the existing condition of things pre- vails in the industrial world on this continent and in Europe.
 Trade unionism has not penetrated to the land of the Mikado, and the working classes are wholly subserv- tent to their employers. So great is the dominance of the master over his men that no craftsman can obtain employment elsewhere without q written permit from his last em- ployer. There are no factory laws, and young children work as long as their elders for few cents day.
 III the factories work usually be- gins at six a. m., and often two hours earlier. The working day is rarely under 12 hours, and the wages are miserably low, according to the American standard. Skilled worlSmen such as competitors, carpenters, blaclSsniths, masons, tailors, etc, in the larger cities, receive only 26 to B cents Omitted States money) day; farm hands average about S1.44 per menth; weavers and spinners, 15 cents day (some factory operatives receive only five and ten cents), and wotnen workers think themselves for tunate to get six cents for i2 hours toll.
 Work in the factories goes on con tinuously, being divided into day and night shifts. There is only one in terva1 in each--40 minutes being al- lowed for meal.

Brig. Gen. Charles King, u. S. A.
has a reputation for novel writing has
made his name better known than his
career in the embattled field, says the
New York Commercial. His love sto-
ries of the posts and camps of the
army have made many an hour pass
pleasantly for many people. Gen. King
Is an old campaigner and knows how
to take things as he finds them
During one of his raids shortly after
the outbreak of the Filipino insurrec-
ton, Gen. Kings brigade encamped in
a town in the upper Pasig country. The
Brigadier handed his canteen to
member of the nearest company of vol
unteers, asking him to have it filed
with rain water, if he could find Guy.
While searching for a cistern the pri-
vate met a squad of his comrades who
had discovered a tank of anisado, a
native liquor which is five times as
strong as the strongest rye whisky.
The private being a volunteer, obeyed
a mischieVous impulse and filled the
Generals canteen with the hot stuff.
When Gen. King accosted him next
morning the private saw visions of
court-martial and the guard house, but
the General said, with n smile:
rs there are more water in that cis-
tern, private?"
Sorry, sir but Company drank it
dry last night replied the soldier re-
gretfully.
And from that time on. Gen. King
was known unofficially by the First
Brigade as THE man with cast-iron
head"

PHILIPPINE SALARIES.

The government has issued state
ment showing the salaries paid to Of
flee holders in the Philippine Islands
under the Taft Commission, and in
comparison Herewith some of the sal
aries paid by the British government
to officers in its foreign possessions.
The statement is interesting, in that it
shows that the foreign service of the
United States pays very much smaller
salaries than that of Great Britain.
The civil governor of the Philip
pines, for instance, receives $50, 900 a
year, while the viceroy of India re-
ceives $4,000. 1t may be said that the
Philippine position is not as important
as that in India; but it is certainly
more important than the governorship
of New Zealand, which pays $35, 900, or
that of Hong Kong, which pays $25, 900.
The Governor of Burmah gets $33, 900,
the treasurer $4,000 and the commits
sioners $4,000 each year. The
treasurer of the Philippines gets
$4,000 and the commissioners $5,-
900 each. The chief justice of
the Philippine Supreme Court is paid
$1,000 year. The chief justices of Vic
tora and New South Wales receive
$17, 500 each.
A scandal in high places in the Brit
ish colonial service is a matter of very
rare occurrence. Scandals in high
places in the Spanish colonial service
were quite common, as long as Spain
had any colonies worth speaking about.
Great Britain exercises great care in
selecting her colonial officials She ap-
points the fittest of those who have
been given thorough train
ing, and then pays them com
Portable salaries. BY making their
incomes liberal the Office holders
are removed from the temptation to
take advantage of their positions for
their own profit. In the case of Spain,
the colonial officers were given small
salaries and permitted to exercise a
number of "perquisites." The conse-
quence was the constant recurrence of
charges Of fraud against the govern
ment and oppression of the colonists.
Corruption in the public service was
one of the great causes of the revolu-
tion in Cuba.
The policy of Great Britain and not
that of Spain is the one that should be
followed by the United States There
should be no extravaganza in salaries,
but it is unquestionably economy to pay
good salaries and have the services of
the best men; and the best men are
not to be had for less than they can
earn in private life.

The pupils read by turns. The articles

article read tells of threatened war in
South America or the Balkan States the
location of the prospective trouble is

In the fertile brain of a popular
member of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad baggage department stationed
at Camden Station story originated
several days ago which has caused
much good natured mirth among his
many friends, says the Baltimore Sun.
Some time ago" says the baggage
official. IAN old sea captain, who had
just returned in his ship from Flor
ida, entered the station to take the
train for his home. In his hand he
carried as fierce a looking alligator
as | ever saw. The reptile was held
in a shawl strap and was taken about
as though it had already been made
into a valise. 1t was about three
feet long and showed as vicious looking
set Of teeth as could be found in a
days journey in the swamps of Flor
ida.
1T is the custom of our porters to
rush forward upon the approach of a
traveller and relieve him of his or her
baggage. Well, when the captain
showed up a porter made the custom
airy dive for his baggage. This par
ticular porter was a new importation
from the lower counties of the Eastern
Shore. AS he was about TO grab the
supposed satchel he started back and
his eyes grew perceptibly larger as
he inquired, in startled voice: why,
sab, what kind oh animal am dat?"
When told it was an alligator, he was
as much at sea as before. Not no
ticing the wicked CLEAN in the rep
tiles eyes. he foolishly put forth his
hand, and as the alligator's mouth
was open, he began to feel the sharp
edges of the teeth"
The fool gravely remarked the
masculine listeners.
"Oh, the silly thing" cried the Ia
dies, as this part of the story was
told.
Well" they asked as the narrator
paused. THE porter, of course, lost
his hand and was sent to a hospital?''
No. calmly continued the baggage

UTILIZING WASTE PRODUCTS.


Consul Frankenthal, at Berne, re-
ports to the State Department that
sawdust is being utilized as fuel in
Prussia. 1t is pressed into octagonal
shaped briquettes Weighing half a
pound each, and burns in an air tight
stove with small flame and no smoke
1T is an ideal fuel" says the consul
being clean and no regulation of the
stove being necessary. No binding in
gredient is used; the sawdust is dried
and pressed into shape under very
heavy pressure. The bricks are heav-
ier than a piece of hardwood of the
same size Carloads of the pressed
sawdust, he says, are being used by
manufacturing establishments as fuel
Precisely the same process for utilizing
the waste sawdust was suggested and
discussed at length in the columns of
the Morning News five or six years ago
by the late G. b. Warrand a chemist
OF considerable ability, who resided for
some years in this city. Nothing ever
came of the suggestion, probably for
the reason that our enormous and
cheap fuel supply obviated the neces-
sity for another cheap fuel supply even
though it might be secured from a
waste product.
1t is remarkable, by the way, how
many formerly waste products are now
being utilized. 1t is said that in the
big packing establishments of the West
all of a hog is used save the grunt;
and it is the same in the case of a steer.
Only few years ago coal tar was itself
a practically worthless residuum: now
hundred or more products are made
from coal tar and the market for them
is very large. Men in the prime OF life
can remember when cotton seed were
regarded as litter about the
farm and no use was made of the
bulk of them. A small part of the crop
of seeds was used for composing and
the rest thrown away. Now the prod
ucts and by-products of the cotton
seed are worth millions of dollars ev-
cry year only few days ago we
printed an article about an invention
that would still further reduce the cost
and increase the output of cotton seed
oil, which win make the crop stlll more
valuable. Corn stalks are being uti-
lized for cellulose and fibre-making.
