used to designate one who refused to

to impair the finish of very fine glass,

of Manila, city of over 300,O00 people, has been largely designed and exc euted under army engineers, including the building of new public markets of steel, new steel bridge over the Pasig river, public crematory, and model tenements The work of the engineers in the Philippines is just commencing, and many excellent opportunities are already beginning to show themselves. Railroad and street tramways must be built, coal and other minerals mined; Manila must have new water supply and a sewerage system; other towns must have the same and the construc- tion of roads and bridges must be con- dnued. As soon as the future control of the islands becomes more settled, and the permanency and wisdom of the present government is sufficiently assured to warrant investment of capi- tai and the extensive introduction of modern machinery to develop the in dustr1A and mineral resources of the islands, an attractive and profitable field will be opened for members of the engineering profession

The question of good roads and road building is one of the troublesome ones of the times. A writer in the En- gineering Magazine, discussing the question, says that fine macadamized road, about thirty-six miles long, has been built from Ca1amba to Batangas in the provinces of Laguna and Ba- tangas, and another about twenty miles long in the province of Albay. Exten- sive road and bridge construction has been carried on in the provinces of Pangasinan, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga and South Camarines-in fact there are few provinces in Luzon where valuable work has not been done on the roads and lines of com munication. In all, something like 900 miles of road have been built or i'm proved in Luzon. Tn many cases this required the construction of extensive causeways through rice marshes. For the purpose of housing troops in per manent garrison, sites for the new mil itary stations have been surveyed and mapped, arrangements of buildings de- signed and water and sewerage sys- tems investigated and planned A careful examination Of the islands of the archipelago for coal has been made.

WOMEN ARCHITECTS.

As to the training which is neces possible, she should obtain a college education, for this is the best founda- tion for any profession, and the men tai training thus received is of ines timable value. After leaving college she should enter one of the best of the schools of architecture which are open to women. If this is not possi- ble, she should not choose a second rate school. As an alternative, it would be far better for her to study architecture and designing under the advice of some good architect or pro- lessor of architecture. if she should be so fortunate as to find such one who Is willing to help her. If she can not do this, let her ask a good practical draughtsman who has been though the schools to lay out a course of study for her to follow. Under no consideration should she attempt to study architecture through correspond ence schools.

During Andrew Carnegie's speech on the steel question the other night he said among other things that steel will continue to be manufactured, but he says: Tt would not surprise me if its cost was very greatly advanced in the future. It seems almost miracu- lous that such an article as steel could be produced and sold without a loss at three pounds for a penny. I am convinced that this is a thing of the past. 1t will be question of increas- ed cost and therefore of increased price, so that neither Britain nor America need fear that steel manufac- ture will be wholly lost; the world will gladly pay the increased price neces- sary to obtain it. During the next half century, it seems that America is to increase her output at tremendous pace. The output of Britain will per haps remain stationary or even in crease somewhat if developments in Norway and Sweden prove satisfac- tory.''

WON'T BUCKLE THEIR REINs.

Lesson Some Vermont Farmers Learn, ed From a Peculiar Accident. Up in the part of Vermont where I have been sojourning," remarked the summer wanderer, the natives all drive with their lines unbuckled You couldn't get them. man, woman or child, to go with the reins fastened to- gether. was puzzled by this for some time until began to ask ques- tions, and after a time the truth came out. 4
 There was bright young farmer named Ed Culver, who was paying attention to the daughter of another prosperous tiller of the soil. The two families lived three or four miles apart and Culver used to drive over two or three times a week.
 ''One Sunday night he left the girls home about 9 o'clock. 1t was pitch dark, and the road was rough and hil- ly. At a point where Culver had to drive around bend in the road and pass between two ditches, he met rig coming the other way.
 "The hubs of the forward wheels of the two wagons came together with a crash. The man that met Culver looked back over his shoulder as his wagon hub got free from that of Gull ver's wagon, and the latter's horse go- ing on down the road, concluded no harm had been done. He called out to know if everything was all right, and no answer came.
 t'WeI1, it seems that Culver must have been dozing, and apparently the impact of the collision threw him over the dashboard so that he fell between the shafts and the horse. The reins. which were buckled together, wound around one foot, and there he hung. Persons living along the, road tell now of hearing the rattle of wagon ill the night and a faint call for help. Several heard this, but as there had been many false alarms from ro1ster- ing villagers, no attention was paid
 s'Culver's horse dragged him for over two miles. until some one walking on the road saw that all was not right, stopped the horse and found Culver. He had fallen so that the front wheel ground part of the time upon the back of his head and the rest of the time on his backbone. according as the horse swung from one side of the road to the other. Poor Culver lived for three weeks and was conscious part or the time.
 ..Thiswas twoy ears ago, but the peo- pie up there are not done talking of It yet. Indeed, the neighborhood for fir teen miles around was fearfully stir red up by the accident. Now none of them will drive with buckled reins.
