1t is on account of these shrewd ma
nipulators of sympathies, and money
getters, that associated charities ex-
list in every town and city. Wise men
and women now days do not give
aims to those who call at their doors.
They contribute to the organized char

Systematically given. In this manner
imposture is impossible; and its pre-

even better cared for than when they
depend upon intermittent benevo-
lences.
The general secretary of associated
charities in this city, Mr.. Charles
Weller, has long devoted himself to
this work and he personally knows
scores of worthy ones at whose doors
hard times come knocking at all sea-
sons of the year. He not only gives
personal attention to all cases com
ing through the mails (and his daily

Wan-Wen-Tsao, recently appointed
minister of foreign affairs of China,
and virtual premier of the empire, is
one of the most progressive of modern
Celestials. He is said to be an enthu-

was Wan-WenTsao who was mainly
instrumental in effecting the early
closing of the late war, and who has,
until now, more than any other Chi
nese diplomat, been active in the sup
preston of the antiforeign revolts.
He is regarded as the most powerful
man in China, even more powerful
than was the late Lii Hung Chang. He
occupied a place in the cabinet during
the long tour abroad of Lii Hung

pairing Them with Eng
lishmen.

If the American workman is, as q
rule, more efficient-which seems to
be admitted-that cannot be entirely
man is very often just the English
man who has crossed the seas. There
are English manufacturers who em-
ploy English worllmen in their Amer
lean works and are amazed to notice
the immediate change in their char
acters. They become more alert and
hopeful; they have a new spring and
energy in their daily work. 1t is not
the climate. 1t is the atmosphere of
land where man is more and class
is less, says the London News.
In the United States every one
starts with better chance. Educa-
ton is reality. Children are kept at
school until 16 or even 1s. The stand
ard of feeding is better. The ma
jority of workmen own their own
houses. Better taught better fed and
better housed, they start with good
handicap ahead of their English
brothers. Such handicap is easily
maintained. Better conditions of life
mean an increase of self-respect.
Self-respect is the enemy of such
vices as gambling and drinking. Bet
ter treated, the workmen of America
become better men. Respected as
fellow human beings, they rise to the
dignity of the part. They become
better workmen and better citizens.
These travelling workmen seem to
have come back with very much the
same advice on their lips as the
prince of Wales after his tour round
the world. 1t is, England, wake

the Atlantic is developing mighty

men, we are slipping further back

THE DRY-MEAL THEORY.
Nature Dictates That We Should
Drink Some While We
Are Eating.

DR.. j. w. Carhart, in the Texas
Courier-Record of Medicine, says that
from time immemorial, so far as he
knows, the dogmatic teaching has
been that fluids taken with meals are
injurious. The less taken at such
times, therefore, the better. This
d1etetic dogma, in his opinion, has it's
basis in theory only. The sole appeal
to fact for its support that he has
ever known has been to the habits
of wild and domestic animals. But
wild animals drink while feeding,
where they have opportunity-which
is not frequent-and they generally
drink as soon thereafter as~they can
conveniently reach watering place.
Domestic animals are too generally
excluded from the water trough or
cooling stream while feeding If left
to themselves and amply provided for,
they will frequently drink while eat
ing. To fatten well they must be
allowed their liberty in this respect.
If nature is to serve as guide, her
most laundering declarations are
against dry meals. Who, says DR..
Carhart, when eating heartily, has
not experienced an overmastering,
uncomfortable thirst? 1t was not a
still, small voice in the depths of the
dietetic regions, to be easily hushed,
but the tremendous cutlery of nature
for refreshing beverage, which
nothing but water-pure, sparkling,
fresh and cool-can silence.
If properly constructed thermom-
eter is passed into an empty stomach
and again after the liberal ingestion
of food the reading will show a con-
siderable rise of temperature immedi-
ately after partaking of hearty dry
meal. An empty stomach is quies-
cent. On the ingestion of food ac-
tivity begins and activity increases
temperature. This develops thirst,
which may become so intolerable as
to be positively painful, actually in
terfering with digestion and render
ing progress in the meal fairly i'm
possible. Every horseman knows
that thirsty horse will frequently
refuse his feed until he has slaked
his thirst.

PHILIPPINE REVENUES.
Great Increase shown in Receipts Of
Customs in the Last Few
Years.

The bureau of insular affairs Of the
war department has prepared for pub
LEGATION a comparative statement
showing the customs revenues in the
Philippine archipelago for the mouth
of January, 1908, as compared with
the game period of 1902, 1901, 1900 end
1899, reports the Washington Star.
The statement shows that during
the month of January, 1908, the Gus
toms revenues were $685. so; for the
same month in 1902, sos, 663.5O; in
1901, $646, 676.51; in 1900, $415, 400. Is,
and in 1899, 1921, 1853.
1t is apparent from the figures given
that the collections have steadily in
creased during the periods indicated
and that the revenues in January, 1903,
are nearly three times as great as
those for the same month of 1899.
The amounts shown represent the
custom house receipts expressed in
United States currency values, the
ratio for the three years of 1901, 1900
and 1899 being So Mexican for ST Amer
