Food in the Philippines.

In the Philippine Islands no white
man drinks raw wster-tbat ls, un-
less he courts cholera or dysentery.
Whenever possible he boils or distills
it, preferably the latter In Manila
is large distilling plant, carried on
by the government for the use Of its
civil employees. The natives are by
no means as careful, and most Of them
drink the water as nature provides it
and attempt to avert cholera by pray
ers and charms.
The native lives principally upon
rice and feb, with little fruit and
vegetables This low diet is by no
means satisfactory to the Europeans
and Americans in the islands, which
do not produce at present the kind of
food which they demand consequent
ly the table of the American is sup
piled mostly with frozen meat brought
from Australia or the States and with
canned vegetables and fruits Fresh
milk, except from carabou, is practi-
cally unknown in the islands, there
being half a dozen milk cows in Ma
Mia, and the necessity is supplied
by condensed milk and canned cream.
The islands produce very few fruits
which are palatable to Americans.
Since the Spanish times the prices
of most commodities and the wages Of
most kinds of labor have doubled and
trebled not only in Manila, but in
most parts Of the Philippines, and
rents, especially in Manila, have
scared skywsrd. Houses which FIVE
years ago were rented for % pesos +
month now cost two or three times as
many dollars. A group Of houses re-
Gently built of nipa, containing four
rooms each, were rented long before
their completion at the rate of $50
gold per month, the annual rent Of
the house amounting to more than
twice the cost of the structure.

Voice as Index Of Breeding.

One evidence of gentle breeding j.
well modulated voice. Thomas
Wentworth Higginson said, "Sbut me
up in dark room with a mixed null
titude. and l can pick out the gentle
folks by their voices" In the COM
pass of every voice there are three
registers-fhe middle or throat, the
lower or chest and the upper or head
register. The use of the middle pitch
for talking is very desireble, but the
voice should be trained to Aide up
and down, varying with the emotions;
low, when the mood inclines toward
seriousness, and higher when it be-
comes tinged with excitement. An
interesting speaker constantly changes
his pitch; not abruptly, but with ease
and skill, and the greater range one
has the more certain he is to get and
retain the pleased attention Oflsteners.
confess to liking a bit Of slang
now and then from young man
mouth. 1t sounds rscy, adds snap
and spice if used judiciOusly, and a
few Of its terms are pitby and express
sive, but when q girl uses slang it only
sounds common. What is becoming
to one sex is not necessarily so to the
other. When we see a woman who
laughs and talks loudly in public
places, we put severe strain upon
our charity and judgment not to
think her vulgar. When to the con-
ventionsl How do you do ?" she re-

Why Ho Did Not Get On.

He had low ideals
He did not dare to take chances.
He had too many irons in the fIe.
He was never a whole man at any
thing.
He thought good business should
run itself.
He did not appreciate the value OF
appearances.
He did not know how to duplicate
himself in others
He trusted incompetent friends with
responsible positions.
He would not change fairly good
methods for better ones.
He did things over and over again
because be lacked system.
He thought he knew all there was
to know about his business
He tried to economic by cutting
down bis advertising appropriation.
He was a good, honest man, but he
did not DO business in a business way.

A Vegetable Clock.

One of the most curious plants
known is the clock plant, which is a
native of Borneo, and even in that
country it is said to be rare. The
plant derives its name from it's pecu-
liar habits, which are known TO but
few who have not studied the plsnt
from a scientific standpoint. The
plant has leaves of two sizes, one OF
which acts in the capacity of minute
hand, which keeps moving until 4
o'clock in the afternoon, and the 9TH
er keeps going until morning. The
rger leaves act as the hour hands.
Starting in a position when all the
leaves lie close to the stem, with the
points hanging down, they rise grad
ually until they turn toward the top,
and then they drop to their former
position. 1t takes the smaller leaves
about one minute to go through this
performance and the longer leaves just
about an hour.

sI.00 A YEAR.
Keep a scrap-book.

You may make for yourself an ir-
teresting book by constructing scrap
book devoted to one subject. One
young girl with strong interest in
the life Of Mary Queen of Scots has
collected from magazines and other
sources articles, illustrated or not, as
it happens. verses, pictures of build
ings and localities aud portraits re-
lating to this heroine and has put
them into a single scrap-book, max
ing volume In which she takes much
pride. When she cannot obtain
printed copy Of an extract she wishes
to add she does not hesitate to copy
it out neatly upon the pages OF her
book, which is merely large com
position book.
The educational value Of such work
is by no means slight, since 10 know
one thing well one must needs learn
much of many others Indeed, 1t has
been said more than once that to know
one thing completely We should have
to know all things.
There is a good suggestion here,
You will be surprised, if you begin to
gather material upon some topic, to
see how much is printed about your
fsvorite subject. One word of eau
ton. Do not choose too wide a sub.
ject. Make your limits narrow enough
to be within your scope. Your scrap
book need not be upon history or lit
erature, but it should be concerned
with something worth the time you
mean to spend upon it,

Cost Of Bad Roads.

Iy Joseph H Brigham, FIRST assistant
secretary Of agriculture, spoke IN favor
Of national aid from the farmers

by educating the people up to de-

all our citizens b, bad roads as the

to make better roads That will cost
money, but it will pay. We cannot
