Affairs in the Philippines.
One Hundred Thousand People Said
TO have Died Of Starvation.

10 nave 0ISu VI Nldl VdGlOll'
We do not intend to abuse the
lovers Of expansion or say unkind
things about those who uphould
our administrations course in the
Philippine Islands, but there must
be some truth in reports as pub
lished in the papers during the
past week; especially when these
reports are made by such men and
officers as Maj. Cornelius Gardner,
civil Governor of the Province of
Tavbas, Manila.
Since our people took possession
of this far off Eastern archipelago,
holding them by officers and a
force which had gone out to make
war, guerrilla warfare has been
aggravated between our soldiers
and the native insurrectos and
great mass of enmities, cruelties
and reven 5es set down to the &C
count of both sides, itching, it
seems, for a "baptism Of blood"
and some stars of conquest. And
we are told that the things that
have been revealed are not COM
parable with the things that have
been concealed by our authorities
in the islands.
One Of the reports which it is
said, have heretofore, been sup
pressed, says:
"a decrease in population of
100000 people as the result of
war, starvation and disease in a
single provrnce-that of Batan-
gas, not far from Manila-is re-
ported by the secretary Of that
province IN official papers received
by the senate committee on Philip
pine affairs"
It seems that this report was
entrusted to chairman Lodge, of
the Senate Committe, with in
structions from Secretary Root
that it be Withheld in conference
until the defense Of the officers
charged with misconduct was re-
ceived.
Anticipating the trouble to
arise out of the Roosevelt Miles
difficulty, there is apparently some
disposition to charge Gov. Taft |
with bad faith in failing to submit
this report with those from other
provinces, and this has called forth
an explanation from the governor,

Charity Begging "a Business.

low the odd business Of petitioning
money for charities.
You, for instance, are interested in
an orphan asylum that has a deficit

men and tell them you want money.
Leave u.s." they make answer. "all

And they master that literature and
then they visit the asylum and inspect
1t thoroughly. By this means they ac.
quaint themselves with the character
OF the institution in question, learn

would be likely to help it if its case
were laid before them. According to

The Country. Born.

Now are the days when the country
born long for glimpse of the old
farm. Just once more to sit under
the orchard trees knee deep in clover,
to hear the hum OF bees and smell the
fragrant breeze blowing from the west.
To wander about along the meadow
paths, to hunt for that minty nook
near the milldam, where we angled for
fish in the shallow, murmuring brook
that ran from the spring. Or to lie
in the shadow of a haycock and look
up at the mountains Of white clouds
sailing and sailing on their mysterious
way through the deep blue sky. One
day like this lifts the soul to purer
air, and a broader view more than
dozen days of spiritual striving in the
noisy town. Life on the hilltop seems
SO simple. 1t Is there we understand
why the saints Of old built themselves
high tower, why the hermits retired to
the wilderness. To them religion means
saving themselves, In our day religion
means not only saving ourselves but
our brothers as well.-Chicago Post.

The house and grounds, formerly
known as Hampton House, were

able additions were made from the de.
signs Of Adams. The garden was Laid
out by Garrick himself, and passage
was cut under the road to connect the
lawn in which was erected the domed
octagonal brick building known as the
Temple Of Shakespeare. A statue
which at one time adorned the temple
was given by Garrick to the British

HYPNOTIC CURES.
Result OF Experiments in an English In.
sane Asylum.


Result OF Experiments in an English In.
sane Asylum,
In a lecture delivered before the
Kings College Medical Society DR..
Milne Bramwell gave an interesting
sketch of the subject of hypnotism.
Describing the experiments of Plorel,
who till recently was medical director
Of the Burgholi Asylum and one Of
the professors of the University Of
Zurich, he said that he succeeded in
hypnotizing nearly all his asylum at.
tendants, both male and female, a
large proportion of them becoming pro-
found somnambules. For ten years
experiments were made in regard TO
the use of hypnotism in the night
watching Of dangerous lunatics. Ward
crs were hypnotized and trained to
sleep by the bedside OF those patients
and to awake the instant they heard
them attempt to get out of bed. the
hypnotic suggestion being made use
of to inhibit all sounds. which had
no reference to the duty laid upon
so hypnotized could perform night duty
for six months and work hard all day
without showing signs Of fatigue. The
results Of these experiments were, it
is said, uniformly successful, and no
accident Of any kind occurred
In regard to this and other applica-
tions of hypnotism DR.. Bramwell re-
fers to the method Of Wetterstrand,
who, instead of restricting himself to
suggestions made in the course of
short hypnotic trance, advocated the
use Of the curative effects of prolonged
hynotic sleep. Wetterstrand treated
epilepsy and grave forms Of nervous
disorder by keeping the patients in
the hypnotic trance for three or four
weeks Without rousing them the pa
tents were fed at stated intervals. and
the action of the bowels and bladder
were regulated by suggestion and thus
mental as well as physical rest was
given in addition to such therapeutic
advantages as might be gained by aid
Of suggestion.
Or. Milne Bramwell says that. al
though every one cannot be deeply hyp-
Noticed, profound states are not neces-
sary for the successful employment of
suggestion, and the number Of persons
insusceptible to some degree Of hyp-
notic influence is extremely small. |
Among other diseases he gives the
following as those in which hypnotism
has given good results: "Hysteria, neu- |
rasthenia, dipsomania and other drug
habits, obsessions. moral perversities
md nervous tricks in children" We .
may add that, as far as the treatment |
Of dipsomania is concerned. it seems
Tot entirely impossible that some Of the
results which are said to have
been obtained at certain institutions
'or the treatment of this condition NAV
have been the outcome of an acknowl-
edged but none the less effectual ap-
'lication of hypnotic suggestion.-Lon-

Eineer of Life in CoahuiIa.
A civil engineer recently returned
from the. hacienda OF Jimulco in Goa
Suila, an immense property containing
over 1000 square kilometres, N1lls some
stirring tales of shooting wild game.
Antelopes abound, but great care is
necessary in approaching these willy
creatures, owing to their habit of al
ways placing one or two on guard
while the rest of the herd Is feeding.
The sentinels, faithful to their duty,
remain with head erect, peering and
smiling to the four points of the COM
pass, and give a swift alarm the mo.
ment an enemy appears in sight.
Not long since party of young men
were hunting the javali, or wild hog,
and, coming up with a number one of
the hunters succeeded in killing one
and dismounted to secure it. AS he
approached his prey a dozen or more
iavali that were hiding in the tall grass
attacked him ferociously, and one
fastened his tusks in the hunters heel,
hanging on like grim death. The
others came to their companions as
sistance and the brute was killed, but
the tusks were sunk so deep into the
heel that the hogs jaws had to be
pried apart with a gunbarrel before
the man was freed. Strange as it
may seem, the wound closed quickly
and with no serious results
On this same hacienda are both
wild dogs and wild burros, the latter
being remarkably swift and hard to
take. Some time ago a pup was caught
and tanned, developing into n fine
watchdog, but though every effort was
made to secure mate for him it has
not been possible.
1t is not generally realized that the
lions of Mexico will attack a

show them to be as dangerous for men
as for beasts. One of the mozos in a |

A wrong Interpretation Of the facts
Of heredity, out OF which comes the
doctrine Of natural selection, has
ruined the happiness and destroyed
the lives of many people in the last
generation, observes the Christian
