'PINO GOVERN MMENT
House Bill Differs Materially From
the Senate MEASURE

the Senate Measure.
Washington. April 9.--The house bill
establishing civil government in the Phil
1pplnes has been perfected by the repub-
lican members Of the committee The
bill Is unlike that of the senate, in that
it provides complete form of civil gov
ernment for the islands, to go into effect
when the war terminates, the provision
being as follows:
Whenever the existing insurrection in the
Philippines shall have ceased and condition
of general and complete peace shall have
been established therin, and the facts shall be
certified to the president by the commission,
the president shall authorize the commission
ITO call general election for the choice of del
egates to a popular assembly of the people
OF the Philippine islands to be known as the
Philippine assembly.
All the legislative power shall then be
vested in two houses-the Philippine COM
mission and the Philippine assembly.
Provision is made for taking the cen
sus within thirty days after the pro-
mitigation of peace. Thereafter the is
lands are to be divided into election
districts, and the regular machinery for
electing the legislature is provided
All residents of the Philippines shall
have the same protection from the United
States In their relations to foreign gov
ernments as is accorded to citizens of the
United States. r.
For the purpose of the friar lands the
bill makes provision for the issuance of
| insular bonds at per cent interest, pay
| able in gold, the total amount not being
| specified
The system Of coinage differs from
that in the senate bill, as it makes
| gold the standard, with Philippine to-
ken money of silver maintained at a
parity with gold. The peso is to be of
silver. 1t will equal our silver dol
lar in size and be worth half as much.

on her. Found her in bed, and she
looked like living skeleton so wild and
haggard that l feared for her reason

She said not but was gradually growing
worse. The doctor was coming twice a
day and giving her a powerful nervine.
She said, I am SO miserable that l tell
you privately If 1 don't get better soon
will end it all myself some day l told
her not to talk that way for believed 1t
was something she ate or drank that
caused the trouble and she might get well
by making a change in her diet I told
her my own experience in leaving off cof-
fee when l was in almost as bad shape
as she, but as soon as mentioned cof-
fee l had fight on my hands, for she
Insisted that coffee helped her and her
mother backed her in it saying that it
was the only thing she did enjoy and
she did not believe coffee hurt anyone

finally got Cora to agre to let me make
a cup of Postum Food Coffee for her sup

good. Said she had heard it was terrible

RHODES GRAND DREAM
Proposed Union of the Entire Anglo
Saxon Race

Saxon Race.
London, April 9.--An article on Cecil
Rhodes by William T. Stead will appear
in the forthcoming number of the Ameri-
can Review of Reviews, consists of
frank, powerful explanation of Rhodes
views on America and Great Britain, and
sets forth his own inmost aims. 1t was
written by himself to w. r. Stead, in
$780, Mr.. Rhodes believed that by taking
the American constitution and uniting
England and America by a secret order
among their peoples they would dominate
the world, obliterate the weaker nations
and join all mankind in one harmonious
whole for the betterment of the human
race. E.....
The Times publishes a four-stanza
poem by Rudyard Kipling which is to be
read at the interment Of Cecil Rhodes
The second stanza is as follows:
Dreamer devout, by visions led
Beyond our guess Or reach.
The travail Of his spirit bred
Cities in place Of speech.
So huge the administering thought that drove,
So brief the term allowed;
Nations, not worlds, he linked to prove
His faith before the crowd
Then, describing the dead waiting for
the granite tomb at Matoppo Hills, in
fulfllment of his vision, the poem con-
cludes
The immense and brooding spirit still
Shall quicken and control;
Living, he was the land,
And dead, his soul shall be her soul.

"Ten per cent of the worlds popula-
ton is more or less somnambulistc,"
said physician, according to the Phil
adelphia Record, land every one, at
one time or another, has done little
sleepwalking. l myself when lad
got up, dressed, took my books and
went to school on summer night, my
father following close behind to see
that I should come to no harm.
Blond persons are more apt to be
somnambulists than dark folk, and in
cold climates there is more somnambu-
lism than in warm ones. In certain
Greenland villages I have been told,
the hut doors are locked from without
by Waterman i'll order that those
within may not come forth in their
sleep and maybe freeze to death, but
in Egypt and such like hot lands such
precaution is unnecessary"

Teaching n Parrot.

"There are two ways" said a bird
dealer, "of teaching parrot to talk.
One way is to put him in darkened
room, to sit in corner and to repeat
over and over again the word you
want him to acquire. A clever parrot
will learn word or phrase after
some 400 or 500 repetitions, while for
some it takes week or more. You
must keep still in the room. No sounds
from within or without the house
save your voice, monotonously repeat
ing the phrase to be acquired, must
reach the parrots ear. Some people
teach their birds in well lighted
room, speaking from place of con-
cealment in a closet or behind door.
I'll Method is not so good, because in
til 1T the parrots attention is dis
traced"

Two sickroom warnings.

Two Sickroom Warnings.
In recent lecture on first aid to the
injured the speaker emphasized two
cautions that are so commonly disre-
garded as to be well worth repeating
in print. The first is, never rub per-
son with liniment that has been put
on flannel cloth, for the roughness OF
the flannel and the friction on the
skin, with the penetrating ingredients
of the liniment, will easily make an
abrasion Of the skin, producing con-
dition that may take weeks to heal.
The second warning is that in any con-
dition of Inconsistencies the hot OBJ
ject applied, bag, bottle, brick or what
ever it may be, must be wrapped in
flannel or cloth before 1t is brought
into contact with the flesh of the per-
son to be treated. A severe burn is
often made by thoughtless attendant
who puts too hot water bottle next
to the skin while the patient is uncon-
scious or unable to move away.

gey which had already been launched
and was moored on the port side of the
sloop. They sculled it quickly to the
head of the bay and soon began the
precarious ascent of the Devils Nose
Two-thirds of the distance to the sum-
NIT they came upon level space no
bigger than a dining table, which in
the center was cleft apart, leaving n
space not more than two feet wide and
MS dark as midnight within; and into
this forbidding place the big man,
without explanation or hesitation,
dropped. Craddock followed, and a
moment later they stood iii q natural
cavern that was created when the rock
was formed.
81 doubt" said the leader, ''if there
lives another man today who knows of
the existence of this cavern. Hark!
Do you hear that whistling moan? 1t
Is like the vibration of n hundred geo.
lian harps. 1 have lantern here.
Wait till strike light, and will
show you something grander than you
ever saw before"
Then presently he led the way up
the slippery rock, and us they advance
ed the weird moaning and whistling
became louder and shriller until 1t
seemed as If there were living things
lowering around them and shrieking in
their ears. 1t was the voice of the
gale as it rushed through an opening
in the rock high over their heads, and
after they had mounted to it Craddock
saw his friend put the lantern down.
Then his arm was seized in firm
grasp, and he was led around jutting
bowlder into the light of day.
The wind struck them like n blow
and for moment forced them back
again, but they held their ground and
presently stood upon ledge formed by
an indentation which nature had left
In the mighty mass, with the summit
of the Devils Nose scarce three faith
oms above their heads.
The view was grand and awful. The
storm was at Its height. Black clouds
rushed toward them and above them
like chargers of ladean host. Seas,
mountain high, plume crested with
white foam. tumbled onward in mad
expostulation to be shattered against
the rock on which they stood, which Of
itself did not even tremble.
Craddock loved such scenes with not
less passion than his friend, and while
he stood entranced his arm was seized
again with crushing force and the
voice of his friend, but family heard
above tDe tempest, shouted in his ear
Look yonder, Grad! Look therew
And with his disengaged hand he
pointed straight to wIndward.
Scarcely mile away and driving to-
ward them with the speed of loco

bare poles, rolling and pitching and
tossing, now half submerged beneath
torrents of water that fell upon her
from the pursuing waves and again
appearing like helpless chip upon the
summit of an angry sea-
She seemed to be making straight for
the Devils Nose. Upon her deck
dozen forms were visible, dashed to
their places to prevent being swept
AWAY By wind and water.
AS she drove onward, nearer and
nearer, Craddocks companion again
shouted in his ear:

was at that instant that CraddocE
made his leap.
Twenty minutes later the sloop was
safely moored within the little bay,
which was as placid as millpond, and
the two men were snug in the cabin,
with nothing but the roar Of the rush
ing wind above them and the booming
of the water against the western ex-
tremity Of the rock to remind them of
the perils through which they had just
passed.
While the storm ragged on and day
light became smothered by advancing
night they cooked and ate their supper
and smoked their pipes in tranquil Sc
curity. Why they were where they
were, overtaken by furious gale in
the most dangerous part of the North
sea, does not matter, but if coast
guard or customs officer could have
inspected the articles that We're stored
away in secret lockers aboard the sloop
he might have called them by the now
almost obsolete term, smugglers. Os.
tensibly, however, the sloop was moth
ing more than a mere pleasure boat
and they two venturesome sailors who
found it possible to navigate craft
which ordinarily should have carried q
crew of four or five.
When morning came, the storm had
increased in violence, and so mighty
were the seas which swept before it
that not infrequently clouds of spray
and masses of water leaped over the
summit of the rock, to again fall into
the sea many fathoms to leeward.
The rushing of the wind, split in twain
by the barrier which sheltered them,
came together again beyond the Devils
Nose with noise like distant thunder

Many a friendship, long, loyal and
self sacrificing, rested at first on no
thicker foundation than kind word.
Two men were not likely to be friends.
Perhaps each Of item regarded the
other with something of distrust. They
had possibly been set against each 9TH
er by the circulation of gossip or they
had been looked upon as rivals, and
the SUCCESS of one was regarded as in
