vALUING AN AMERICAN WOMAN
The First One I o Enter Bongoa Was
Appraised by Old Moro
Maharajah.

The arrival Of the first American
women in Bongoa was a great event
for the Moros, who lined the wharf
to watch their Decentralization. An
old maharajah was especially inter-
ested. says the writer Of Tawi Tawi
Tales, in Eyerybody's Magazine. Mo-
ticing his attention, the governor of
sBongoa asked the old fellow what he
thought the. quartermaster's wife, q
Junoesque lady, should be worth In
dollars and cents. The toothless old
maharajah took 1t all quite seriously,
looked at the lady in question with
much discrimination, pulled at his
wisypp of q billy-goat beard a moment
in contemplative silence, and then re-
piled that he thought she was worth
about q hundred dollars Mexican, an
abnormally large amount, as Moro
women seldom average over forty doll
lars, Mexican. apiece. xlgg4s5
Then the7sirrepressible governor
turned to Mrs. Russell, who is slim and
graceful asking at what the mahalra-
jah thought she would be valued.
Without, a moments hesitation, the
old sinner. to the lady's chagrin and
the uproarious amusement Of the
whole party. appraised her at only
ei9hty dollars Mexican. M

to both cellar and alley. There are three
windows, one at each side and n at
end. These are well bankedin winter.
Roots are aired from doorway dur
ing severe weather. There is also a
loose stone wall, built four feet high
around the cellar about four feet from
wall Of cellar. The space between is
filled with clay six feet high. There is
no danger Of roots freezing even in cold-
est winters.
In such a cellar they winter perfect

environment, unnatural and vastly
more favorable than the original for

conditions that these insects are in

why 1t is that they do what is the most
natural thing in the world for them

II has always seemed to me that the
fruit grower who planted out his or
chards, vineyards and berry fields,
and gave them no protection from
their natural enemies, was doing
what a commanding general would do
II he were to send a division of his
army into the enemy's country and
not support it with other troops. 1t is
as plain as can possibly be that the
fruit-grower must use artificial meas.
ures to fight the enemies of his crops.
If he expects to succeed. The present
conditions are now what they are,
and we cannot now change them.
This being true, it is manifestly the
proper course to pursue. in seeking
by artificial means to counterfeit, so
far as possible. the adverse effect of
these present conditions. Thus, the
spraying of plants with insecticides

AT MANILA.
Ingenious Device for Cleansing and
Disfnfecting Travellers Enter
ing the City.

The new quarantine station at Mari
veles, near Manila, is the terror of the
unwashed. A correspondent. of the
Medical Record describes not only
such equipment as we might expect a
model quarantine plant to possess, but
a most ingenious device surprising to
the reader and more surprising to the
victim.
The usual part of the equipment in
cludes a fine water supply, piped from
a clean watershed three and a half
miles away; a disinfecting plant fitted
with a bichloride tank, sulphur fur
naces and steam sterilizing chambers;
disrobing rooms for steerage passen-
gers, and SO shower baths.
The shower baths contain the sur
prise. The passenger receives a num-
bered tag, which he hangs round his
neck, and a duplicate of which is put
on the sack containing his clothes.
The clothes go to the disinfecting
chamber, where they are exposed to
superheated steam at 24O degrees
Fahrenheit. Meanwhile the passenger
goes on his way to the purifying wa
ter. Attendants force on his attention
a sufficient supply of soap, and see
that he uses 1t. If he is a Chinaman
he is watched with especial care.
Now a first-class passenger must be
treated with more respect. He will
not submit to being run after by an
attendant as a mother pursues q dirty
boy with a scrubbing brush. So he
has a separate oom to undress in.
But he is not TO be left without en-
couragement. AS some f1rst-class pas
sengers try to evade the bath, an ar
rangement is being tested by which a
passenger on entering the bathroom.
steps on a movable floor. A shower
bath automatically turned on thor
oughly vets the passenger, who may
then as well continue the bath to
which he has been inyoluntarily and
sometimes unwittingly subjected.

Empire State Express in Football.

The New York Central's Empire State
Express is recognized as the swiftest and
surest train operated by Americas greatest
to cover the ground iu the time required. 1t
is for this reason that the Harvard Uni
versity football team named their best and
surestplay of the season of 1902 the Empire
State Express" for they believed it to be
the most reliable play in their programme.
1t was successful throughout the season
until it met Yale's "20th Century Limitedn
play, which was Just as swift, safe andsure,
only by the size of the field. The names of
the rival teams very correctly describe the
difference in the famous trains, the Empire
State'' running only from New York to
Buffalo, while the si20th Century Limitedn
makes the $50 miles between New York and
Chicago in twenty hours every day of the
year. Great is the New York. Central and
great are the trains it operates-swift, safe
and reliable.-Fr0m the Brooklyn Standard

AMERICAN CHURCH IN MANILA.
Substantial Structure to BE Erected
for Christian Workers Among
the Natives.

There has long been talk of the
need of an experienced pastor to go
to Manila and take charge of the
American church there. Such a man
has been found in Rev. Dr.. S. B. Ros-
sitter, who held a successful Presby-
terian pastorate in New York city for
81 years, resigning a few years ago to
become American secretary of the NC
All mission, the work of which is in
France, says a recent report. DR.. Ros-
sitter is to leave for Manila in Novem-
her of this year and goes with the au-
thority of the Presbyterian board OF
foreign missions, although in no sense
as a missionary. There is in the city
of Manila, it is estimated, an Ameri-
can colony of 10000 persons, COM
posed chiefly of young men and their
wives. Presbyterian mission work
was the first to be done in the city.
followed closely by that Of other de-
nominations. Rev. James B. Rodgers
was first sent out. by the board of for
eign missions to work among the
Filipinos, but when Americans began
to pour into Manila Mr.. Rodgers insti-
tuted religious services for them, and
these have grown into the First Pres
byterian church of Manila, which
worships now in a rented building OUT
side of the city walls. Rev. Mr.. Rod
gers is still a missionary, working
among the natives. 1t is now the in
tention to erect for the American
church in Manila a substantial struc-
ture.

wedding rings as their humble con-

people. The organization kept the
rings as a memento of this kind act.
Recently the old couple celebrated
their golden wedding under very dis
tressiDg circumstances. They were
actually starving. This came to the

Dan Kane Executes Daring Plan at
Jefferson City.
Dan Kane escaped from the peni-
tertiary Saturday morning, after sery-
ing twenty-four days.
Kane, who comes from Sedalia,
scaled a high stone wall and took
desperate chances. While walking to
and from his work the past week he
studied out his plan of escape. He
saw that he could crawl through an
opening in the stockade and secrete
himself in place where it would be
most di6icult to find him.
There are several ladders inside the
prison walls, necessary in the work of
repairing the buildings. Kane figured
that, given a ladder and his release
from the lockstep, he could scale the
wall.
AS to the guards who stand at brief
intervals of space upon the walls, rifles
in hand, he would take his chances.
Friday he went to work as usual in
the shoe factory, but his mind was
made up to begin before night the exc
cution of his plot to escape, and Sat
urday prison guards were searching for
him in the vicinity of jefferson City.
Kane is q years old and weighs 1T
pounds. He came to the prison Janu-
airy p from Sedalia to serve a SEN
tence of two years for larceny from
