MANILA SETTLEMENT HOUSE
One Already Established There-Ah
Appeal for the Aid of Amer
lean Women.

A settlement house has already been
established at Manila, and the women
at the head of it have issued a strong
appeal to the American women in the
Philippines to lend their influence and
personal endeavor to establish ffater-
nal relations with the natives, and to
aid in uplifting them from their state
of incidence and ignorance, says the
New York Post. The appeal reads IN
part:
Our Settlement House in Manila
has been started not for purposes OF
proselytism, but that its workers, Nv
ing among the natives, may eXempllfy
the Christian life in its spirit OF help
fulness. We shall try to get into close
touch with the common people, learn
their language, know their difficulties,
see things as they see them. We shall
have a well-equipped d~ispensary, with
assistance of skilled physicians, native
and American. A kindergarten is pro-
vided; other agencies OF minlstratlon
will doubtless bedeyeloped as time goes
on. We particularly wish to have IT
understood that the use of any equip
ment which may be gathered here and
any experiences we may acquire, we
shall share with others.
"To sum up and apply-our circular
is thus an appeal to American women:
"l) To enter upon their residence
in the Philippines, whether it is to be
brief or ]protracted, under a sense OF
responsibility.
"(2) To beware of adopting a pre-
iudiced or despising or despairing atti-
tude toward the people of the land
Their blood, their temperament, all
their antecedents, are different from
ours. 1t will take a very long time at
best before we can understand them.
"(3) That each American woman
should make some definite and indi-
vidual effort for the betterment, the
well-being. of some Filipino %neighbor;
this in a persistent, intelligent way
We expect to be able to furnish from
settlement house, upon application
such remedies and appliances as will be
most frequently needed, and we invite
the visits or correspondence of those
who are interested. ..
"(4) To take advantage of any OPP
~portunity to train and teach the ma
tives.
"(5) To consider whether some Sort
of association with II settlement
work would not help them and us alike
to a better fulfillment of our common
responsibility"

BELLIES OF THE PHILIPPINES.
They Are by No ean Unsttractivs
Although a Little Oar
of Hue.

The Philippine belle. when arrayed
in her best, is by no means unattrac-
tive, even to an American with Unborn
prejudice against the ~dark-skinned
races of the earth. She knows how to
dress effectively, and, while conceal
ing, half displaying her charms. The
most important part of her costume
is the media, or long stocking, usually
of silk and often beautifully embroi-
dered about the foot and ankle, the
embroidery being plainly seen becaus
OF the l~ow-topped, heelless chlnelas'
or slippers, usually worn, which are
also often beautifully embroidered on
the top. Then comes the vestida, the
long train dress, fastened by a band
at the waist and usually allowed to
trail at the left side. When caught up
out of the way it is passed across the
front of the body and fastened to the
belt on the right side. This vestida
is made of silk, satin or velvet, very
rich, and as the Spanish taste for red,
yellow and black is shared by the Fill
Pine, the floor of a ballroom while a
bale is in progress is more or less of
a poem in those c%olors, with occasional
hints of blue and green, says a writer
in the Housekeeper. Usually these
ball and dinner vestidas are elegantly
and extensively hand embroidered in
silk, as much as $500 to $1,000 being
often the cost of a single dress skirt.
The next garment is the camiseta,
which performs the function of the
American shirt waist. 1t surrounds
the undertaking that enfolds the up
per portion of the body, having a low
neck. but not cut decollete-no Fill
Pine woman would veal a decollete
dress-and has very wide, short
sleeves. 1t is made of the beautiful
thin pima cloth, manufactured from
the fiber of the pineapple leaf and is
practically transparent. The cloth is
sufficiently stiff to cause the large
sleeves to stand out from the arms and
shoulders and not cling to them as
silk and cotton goods will do, and is,
therefore. much more suited to the
warm climate of the Philippines. h
camiseta is also usually embroidered
extensively, sometimes in white and
sometimes in delicate tints.
The %coalla, or collar, is also made
of the thin, stiff and extensively en-
broidered pima cloth. 1t is about the
size of the small opera shawl worn in
this country and is folded and WORT
about the shoulders and neck much in
the same way, the ends being crossed
over the bust and fastened there witt
a clasp of diamonds.
The hair is carefully arranged
usually in the Spanish style, now sc
popular with our W young LADIES'
and all the diamonds there is room
for or wealth permits are used as or
naments.

Not Very Filling,

Mrs. Andrews was the most con-
scientious visitor of the district, but
for various reasons she was not pop
ular among the poor people whom she
lenged to help.
II don't want to see that peaked
looking woman in my room again, nor
l won't!" said the grandmother of the
nine ragged Palmers.
II read my Bible wild the best O
folks" went on the old lady, "but
there's times for some things an
times for others, an that Andrews
woman is without the sense to know
the one from the other. What was the
motto she brought us yesterday, all
in red and gold letters, and we with
empty stomachs? BE filled with
faith!'"-Youth's Companion

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Desiccated. shredded and sliced po-
tatoes are staple foods in Germany.
There are now a number of boarding
houses in Switzerland where board and
lodging can be had for only 60 dents a
day.
The British museum has an atlas
seven feet high, of the fifteenth CEN
fury. 1t is supposed to be the largest
book in the world.
The amount Of silver, nickel and cop
per coin in circulation in Germany
amounts to nearly four dollars per
head of the population.
England's trade with Persia fell from
$15, 00O, 900 a year in 1889 to S10,ooo,o0
in 1901. while Russia's increased from
$40, 900 600 to $22, 100000.
The only British subject to hold the
Swedish Order of the Seraphim Is the
marquis Of Breadalbane. He gained 1t
by saving a Swede from drowning.
The bishop of Fano, in north Italy,
has ordained that all churches in his
see shall be thoroughly scrubbed at
frequent intervals, and the floors
cleansed with antiseptic solution.
Portugal digs less coal than any
other European country. Her total
product of coal is only $4,000 tons a
year. New South Wales digs yearly
lust twice as much coal as all Spain
produces.
Notwithstanding a profit OF 15,o00,-
900 rubles last year, postal arrange
ments in Russia are said to be in de-
plorable condition. There are seldom
enough clerks, the post offices are toe
small, and at Warsaw not long ago it
was announced that the post office
would receive no further packages FOL
a week.
The St. Petersburg Messenger OF
Trade and Industry boasts that the
characteristic feature of last year was
the almost total suspension of the i'm
port of chemical products and the very
~perceptible decrease in their price due
to the growth of competition and I'M
provements in Russian manufacture.

PRISON FOR CONSCIENCE.
German Army Deserter Gains Wealth
Abroad, But Returns and
Surrenders.

A curious story of a r~epentant de-
serter comes from Munich, where a
young man, dressed in the very height
of fashion, appeared the other day and
confessed to the military authorities
that he had deserted from his regi-
ment five years ago. He asked to be
punished for his offense, and to be al
lowed to serve his time, so that he
could face the world with a clear con-
science, says a recent Berlin report.
It appears that the deserter, who
comes of a good family, ran away after
committing some trifiing offense
against military discipline, and lived
a life of adventure in various coup-
tries of Europe and Africa. He served
in the French foreign legion in Algeria,
and fought on the side of the Mace
DOMAIN insurgents against the Turks.
He went to sea as a common sailor,
and afterward became manager of a
tourists bureau at Nice. Finally he
settled in Paris and made money by
successful speculations, so that he was
soon a rich man.
In Paris he fell in love with a
wealthy French widow, who was will
ing to become his wife. His past, how
ever, weighed heavily on his conscience,
and he resolved to expiate his offense
before leading her to the altar, hence
his return to Munich and his confess
sion to the military authorities there.
The c~ourt-martial which tried his
case sentenced him to n years i'm
prisonment for desertion, and at the
expiration of the term he will have to
serve his obligatory three years in the
army. His lady love in Paris will thus
have to wait for years before she a
become his bride.

Language.

Language is the subtlest instru-
ment ever played on by a Its
variations are illimitable-that is,
they are limited only by the powers
of the human mind and soul, in all
possible situations. The power OF
words or speech exceeds that OF
music, because language is more than
music and ever includes music.
Language, in the hands of a master,
is pregnant with every meaning. A
nations language is at once an ex'
preston and a mold of its character,
rejecting from century to century
the development of it's civilization
and it's advance in intellectual and
moral culture, in learning and re-
inement. The flexible Greek tongue
was the product and the instrument
Of the subtle Greek intellect. The
distinctive qualities Of the classic
speech Of the Roman declare the dig.
nifty and the virile energy which yer
inseparable from the old Roman
Portland Oregonian.

MAN WITH THE Hol HoI nol

! love the ringing music of q CHEEKY,
hearty laugh,
For it routs the iups of worry as the
breeZes scatter chaff,
And there's not a scene of gladness
known to mortals here below
But is made a little gladder by a merry
no! hol no.
Fol Merriment's a singer, and laughter
is his song,
And where the singer singeth the happy
angels throng,
For in all celestial anthems nothing
sweeter is, 1 trow,
Than the melody that lures us in a no!
no! hoi no! no!
You are feeling rather weary-'tis an oft
recorded tale .
And you fancy Troubles demons all are
camping on you trail,
Till you meet the man of laughter, with
his CHEEKY no! no! no!
And, some say, as you listen, all the
haunting demons go;
Then you vow that this old planet is a
place of joy and cheer,
And there's pleasure in rejecting that
you now are living here
And you wouldn't for a fortune lose your
grip on things below
All because you hear the music of q
ringing no! no! no!
Two angels walk upon the earth, walk
daily to and fro,
The one is clad in robes of white, the one
in garb of woe.
The voice of one is laughter; the others
is q sigh.
Joy is the one, the other Woe; for souls
of men they vie;
And the one comes running, running
summoned by the witching spell
OF the ripping notes of laughter that the
spirits rapture tell;
While the other straight is driven from
the souls it haunts below
BY the ringing and the singing of a no
no! no! no! no!
We all do love the music Of a CHEEKY
hearty laugh
To spirits bowed with trouble t is
Heaven-given staff
But our burdens seem SO heavy as WE
pass them in review
ing we should do;
At any rate, it's SO with me, for I'm o.
brittle clay,
And haply it is so with you, although
I do not say:
And so p%erchance, you'll join with me
this one bouquet to throw
To the man who brings us blessing will

Return of Feather Beds.

The feather bed, after it's Danish.
ment during about half a century, is
being received back into favor in colder
countries. Hygiene experts con-
demned it on account 0. its heating
nature and the difficulty Of thoroughly
airing and purifying; nevertheless, it
is actually being recommended during
the winter for delicate, nervous, neu-
ralgic women, and particularly for
elderly persons and those who are
troubled with insomnia. - Medical
