This virtually marked the first eff
forts of Spain in the southern islands.
The Mahometan faith was carried
into Mindanao by Adasaolan soon
after he had established his kingdom
in Basilan. He took for a wife the
daughter of D~imasangcay, king of
Mindanao, and with the marriage the
Mindanao king embraced the faith of
his son-in-law, and made it the tribal
religion.
Spain made numerous efforts to sub
due the natives of Mindanao. Each
new governor general at Manila
thought it incumbent upon himself to
begin a campaign for the extension of
Spanish control. In nearly every eXpe-
dition of this kind Spain was yictori-
Gus for the time, and SO long as they
kept garrisons in the subdued terri
tory. But they never accomplished
anything of a lasting nature, nor did
they ever get far from the coast. This
was not due so much to the opposition
met with as from the fact that the
campaigns were begun and conducted
for show purposes, or for the purpose
of enriching government officials from
the funds voted for war purposes.
The first attempt at Spanish con-
quest in the island was undertaken by
a Portuguese cavalier in 1895. He was
granted a title of general in the Span
ish army, and with a small force he
assembled the Rio Grande river. The
aU~a1i{;or ,roe onr,rocal &c
priests than of soldiers, and met with
almost immediate disaster. In the
first encounter with the natives the
general was killed and his forces
driven back to the mouth of the river,
where they constructed Notifications
and remained for several years with
out again attempting an invasion Of
the interior.
Spain eventually succeeded in estab-
fishing headquarters at Zamboanga,
and built a prison there, which was
maintained as long as that nation
ruled in the archipelago. This head
quarters was productive of but little
ment was several times proposed. The
Jesuits, however, urged its continu-
ance, and their influence prevailed.
We have heard much recently of the
possibility of a holy war being de-
clared by the Moros, but that danger
is largely imaginary. Like practically
all the tribes of the islands, the Moros
are not given to wonderful acts of
bravery, but are rather inclined to
c~owardice. They learned from Spain
the lesson of the superiority of mod
ern arms against their native weap-
ons, and while some of them are armed
with rifles. the great majority have
but the native spear and kris. There
are, however, in both the Sulu group
and in Mindanao small groups of those
who have taken a binding oath to die

The Application Of Manu..

l formerly thought, like many 9TH
ers, that the best way to apply manure
is to pillow it under for corn; but Ihaye
lately concluded that there is a better
way, though perhaps not always so
convenient. If n freshly an
piled is turned down fat on the sub
soil to lie there three years or more,
will not a considerable amount of the
strength leach down so deep as to be
practically lost? Could there be any
better way, theoretically at least,
than to cut all straw and litter quite
fine, grind cobs with corr into meal.
and run all through the stables, leave
the manure in the stables till the
ground is plowed and dry, then apply
the II and harrow it in? By
this means practically all of it would
remain in the top soil to. benefit the
crops. The next best way would be-,
as someone suggested, to apply the
manure to the young grass, to be
plowed the next year.-E. Stanton, in

A NEW VEGETABLE SWEET.
Discovery of n Vegetable Growth T.,
Paraguay Containing saccharin
Substance.

plant has been found in the north
ern part of Paraguay whose leaves
contain a very sweet substance. Small
pieces will have the same effect as a
large lump of sugar if dropped into a
cup OF tea or coffee. The stuff is not
the same as sugar, though, because it
is much stronger and cannot be fer
mented, says the New York Tribune.
The director of the .Agronomical In
stitute at Asuncion believes that its
chemical nature is different from any,
thing else now known. The herb is
a rather common one, and the Ger
mans in that part of the world are
about to make some elaborate expert
ments in cultivating it for the mar
ket. 1t is said to contain no deleteri-
Gus substance, but possibly the mat
ter has not been investigated sutfi-
GENTLY. Fifteen or twenty years ago,
Prot. Ira Remsen, now president of the
Johns Hopkins university, devised a
method OF manufacturing out of coal
tar a substance 800 times as sweet as
cane sugar. He named it "saccharin."
Its use has been recommended for VIC
tins of certain diseases who are
forbidden to take sugar. Neverthc-
less, for some mysterious reason.
there has been a disposition in Ger
many to prohibit by law the introduce
ton of saccharin into beer. Possibly
the explanation of this procedure is
political, not scientific. Whether the
Paraguay plant, botanically known as
Eupatorium Rebaudiarum, will even
tually prove a disappointment, time
alone can tell.

heCeuU measure
ments give it an area of 46,521 square
miles, supporting an estimated popula-
ton of 495,659 people.
The Moros are the ruling power.
They settled in the island and i'm
planted the Mussulman faith upon its
shores at about the same time Spain
was pushing her conquest of Luzon
and the islands further north. The his
tory of Mussulman occupation of both
Mindanao and other of the southern
group is but legendary to a great ex-
tent. 1t is known that two Borneo
chiefs who were brothers quarreled
over their possessions there, and the
defeated one, had to leave. Gathering
a number of his followers about him,
they emigrated to Basilan, a small
island to the south of Mindanao. This
was the first settlement of the Moros
in the Philippines, and from this first
small settlement they rapidly extend
ed their conquest to the Sulu group
and to Mindanao.
Paguian Tindig was the chief who
founded the first settlement in Basi-
Ian, and with him came a cousin, Adas-
aolan. The former eventually emf
grated again to Sulu, while the latter
remained in Basilan, where he estab-
lished a kingdom, and in time became
so powerful that he made var upon
Tindig, his cousin. and defeated him.
Tindig had, however, appealed to Spain
for assistance, and whileitcame toolate
to prevent the utter rout of his army,
it did prevent the usurpation of the
government on the part Of A%dasaolan.

TO CURE E%GG-EAT1NG.
Positive Reformation Has Followed
the Method Here Outlined by an
Eastern Farmer,

Almost every n has had trouble
with hens eating eggs. Any n who
has learned much from it will be glad
to learn any way to prevent or cure
it. A p%oultryman of experience says:
There is nothing more provoking
and more Improbable than a flock
of hens which have acquired the hab-
it of eating their eggs. This is a
habit more easily prevented than
cured. Give the hens plenty of exer-
else with a variety of food. Gather
the eggs frequently, provide suff-
Gent resting places and keep one or
more porcelain eggs upon the floor
of the house. Dark nests are advis-
able, and a meat diet is excellent.
To cure the habit provide dark
nests and add meat to the food. Re-
move the end from several eggs and
pour out the contents. Make a mix
ture of -four, ground mustard and
red pepper, adding a little water to
hold the material together. Fill the
shells and place upon the floor of the
henhouse. The hens will make a
wild scramble for these prepared
eggs, will gobble down some of their
contents, and will soon be gasping
with open beaks. Follow up this
treatment until the hens refuse to
touch an egg. 1t seems and perhaps
is somewhat severe, but no perma-
nent ill effects will follow. The hens
will soon learn that eggs are not so
palatable as they regarded them, and
will desist from the bad habit. Posi-
tive cures have followed this method.

POSSIBILITIES OF
AERIAL NAVIGATION !:

from the capitalists who have shown an interest in the subject Of
aerial navigation.
THE NAVIGATION OF THE AIR AS A OF RAP
I'D TRANsPORTATION IS IN KEEPING WITH THE PROG
the people Of to-day will take up with it more readily than did our
ancestors OF three-quarters of a century ago take to the railway train
and the steamship. They not only expect but demand progress, and
accept it when their demands are complied with. The science OF
aerial navigation is keeping pace with the public demand, and the
public are ready to accept it as a means of travel just as soon as the
capitalists OF the world are ready to provide the means for carrying
out all the inventors have made possible.
A word more as to the possibilities. My small balloons, those
used Tor exhibiting purposes, have developed a speed in the air in
excess OF that shown by the great ocean liners in the water. With
size comes power. 1t is because of the size of the fast ships between
Europe and America that they re able to produce the power that
drives them across the Atlantic in from five to seven days. THE
SAME WILL TRUE OF THE AIRsHIP. With a million dol
lars it will be possible to build an airstip sufficiently large to carry
the power to drive it across the Atlantic in two days time.

The pathway is hard.
Now and then an honest, Straightforward one is found, and you

Is it her dependence that is responsible for her lack of fiber?

Have they wanted smiles, she has felt it incumbent to smile, whether
moved to mirth or not. Have they wanted frivoEty, she has felt
bound to kttenlshness, howsoever seriousminded naturally. Her

wherefore most Of womankind are but bundles Of make-beHeve.
Now and then you find a woman being that isn't afraid of a
mouse, that can climb a fence without the assistance OF a man being,
that doesn't fear the dark, that can manage a horse, look a COW in
the face, enjoy a storm, take pride in nerve rather than nerves. And
what is said Of her? Well, about her, just at present the world is
somewhat divided: part of it calls her unwomanly; part of it ap-
proves, believes her wholesome, sane, infinitely superior to the old
fashioned, dependent kind.

sidered the proper pabulum. HAVE IDEALS OF BRAVE GIRLS
AS WE'LL AS OF BRAVE BOYS.
Let the little girls have fun; roistering, boisterous, healthy, out
door, Tom-Boy fun; let them climb trees, go fishing, play ball, romp
and run from early morn to dewy eve, and when they are big girls
they will have very little morbid nonsense about them, will be cog
INFANT OF the fact that there's innocent enjoyment a plenty.
Can they ever learn to be just and generous? Will they ever
get over their litleness?
Give them a show.
DON'T H THEN Up IN GLASS CASES. Let them see
something Of life; meet divers sorts and conditions of people. Give
them a glimpse of poverty and sorrow; don't just spread roseleaves
for them to walk on, don't feed them only with sweets.
You do not, of course, want them to revel in a knowledge of
evil, but you do want them to face life squarely, with honest, open
eyes. Don't tell them lies, don't deceive them.

graphic literature, is probably better equipped than any other living man for the task of writing a volume on this subject which will combine accuracy with general interest. The work will be strikingly illustrated with reproduc- tions from photographs and drawings.
 
 Dr. David Starr Jordan has in press for publication by Elder & Shepard, San Francisco, "The Philosophy of De spair," an essay embodying the reply of science to pessinism, taking for it's text certain quatrains of Omar Khay- yam. The following selection from his introductory lines will best indicate the point of view:
 Tn the presence of the infinite prob lem of life, the voice of Science is dumb. for Science is the coordinate and cor rected expression of human experi- elce, and human experience must stop with the limitations of human life. . It is my purpose here to indicate some part of the answer of Science to the Philosophy of Despair. Direct re- ply Science has none. We cannot ar gue against a singer or a poet. The poet sings of what he feels. but Sci enCe speaks only of what we know. We feel infinity but we cannot know it, for to the highest human wisdom the ultimate truths of the universe are no nearer than to the child. Science knows no ultimate truths. These are beyond the reach of man, and all that man knows must be stated in terms of his experience. But as to human experi- ence and conduct Science has a word to say. Therefore. Science can speak of the causes and results of pessimism. It can touch the practical side of the riddle of life by asking certain ques- tions, the answers to which lie within the province of human experience"
 
 Gelett Burgess, who has been known heretofore chiefly as a humorist, has made radical departure from the non sense work which first brought him into prominence when editor of "The Lark" Intelligent and sympathetic readers of that magazine were quick to discern a serious, albeit an optimistic. note, which has always been as sincere and as spontaneous as his wit. and the forty essays on "The Romance of the Commonplace" soon to be published by Elder & Shepard, San Francisco, have taken up and developed the original vein of philosophy fret exploited in "The Lark"

some unusual plays, and men have sat at tables all night, rising in the morn ing with fortune made or lost.
 "I do not know how to account for the lack of sensational plays" said Richard Garfield. Several persons have spoken to me on the subject and made comments, but the fact remains that it is so. We are having nc pre- longed sessions. The average play is twice as heavy as last year. Perhaps, as a general rule, there is greater pros perity and less faverish anxiety about losses or gains
 Here is what Tom Dunn, the cpl grammatic ex-sheriff, says Of Sara togA:
 Say, do you know the difference be- tween this town and Dakota? No? Well. in Dakota. they divorce you from your wife; here they separate you from your money. But they can't get my stoneyard."
 Let me illustrate" said another Tammany man, whose name had better not be mentioned. "I was at the Man haitian club last night. I ordered a highball. and what do you think it cost? Fifty cents. That jared me"
 Most of the Tammany men left here | losers. John r. Carroll and Frank Far rell rhyme and chime together in this respect. One man who has won in spite of everything is Thomas Unter- myer. On Saturday he picked two horses haphazard that cleared him nearly S1O,00O. Stories of great luck are told of Julius Fleischmann of Cin- cinnati and Phil Dwyer. On Saturday night MT. Dwyer bet the limit at rou- lette in Canfield's and won something | like $50,000. He interested a big knot of men in his gambling by steadily sticking to black and leaving his win nings on the color until they reached the limit.
 . Big Tim Sullivan was up against it Saturday. A bunch of his constituents who had gone broke struck him for car | fare. But Tim was So, 1000 loser up to ! the sixth race. He caught the right horse then and came out $3,OOO ahead.
 Broken sports from the east side continued to make their way to his box. although he had explained his bad luck to at least half dozen. After the last race one of the east siders ap- preached him and asked for $1.
 Say" exclaimed Tim, II think you are the twelfth man who has gone broke and struck me for money today. Now you go find the rest and bring them here"
 The man disappeared and in a few minutes a row of penniless young men arrayed themselves before the Gentle i man Bountiful..
 How many are you?' asked Tim.
