Mrs. C. Jones was Mortified to dis.
cover that her little seven-year-old
daughter was acquiring the habit of
alluding very freely to the devil, and
at last she told her determinedly that
a repetition of the obnoxious word
would bring severe punishment. The
child knew that her mother was in
earnest, SO she set a seal on her lips.
At last she seemed to have for
gotten it; but one Sunday Mrs. Jones,
who mad been too i'll to go to church,
asked her if she could tell what the
minister had preached about in his
sermon.
"Oh, yes'm," she answered. "He
preached about our Lord going up in
to the mountain and being tempted
by--by-by the gentleman who keeps
hell!"-Philadelphia Ledger.

HAS BLOOD OF ALL RACES.
Negro, Malay, Mongol. Caucasian ana
Even American Indian Mingle
an h Filipino.

Ethnologists of the Smithsonian in
stitution have investigated the Fill
pinos, with results that are of rare
interest to science. They have called
attention to the fact that in the veins
of the tribes of the archipelago
flows the blood of al the races and
varieties of mankind, says the Scien-
tifc American.
In the makeup of the composite
Filipino, the darker substratum has
been supplied by Negrito, Papuan
and African negro. A copper tint and
fighting blood have been furnished
by Malay and Polynesian. a lighter
hue and certain arts have come from
Japanese, Chinese and Cambodian,
Hamite, Semitic and Aryan have
stamped their image upon the island
ers.
Even an ancient stream of Cauca-
sian is traced by ethnologists; and,
stranger still, perhaps, the discovery
has been made that a rivulet of Amer
lean Indian blood found its way to
the cosmopolitan veins of the Fill
Pine through the channels of two
centuries of uninterrupted commerce
between Mexico and Peru and the ar
chipelago.
In view of this converging of racial
streams in the Filipino, scientists of
the American bureau of ethnology
hope that a detailed investigation
of the habits, implements, relies, be,
liefs, legends, ETC., of the various
tribes of these islands will be under
taken.
In addition to exploration in search
of prehistoric crania in caves, the
purpose is to make a comprehensive
collection of native hammers, saws
ADDE'S, clamps ard every primitive i'm
plement representative of stages o
invention between the stone age ant
modern times. 1t is expected, toe
that instruments of prehistoric engi
neering may be found.
1t is known that some of the Fill
Pine tribes are skillful metallurgists
inheriting doubtless from ancient Ma
