PSALM OF LIFE.
What the Heart Of the Young Man
said 10 the Psalmist.
b H. W. Longfellow

Tell me not. in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dreaml
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is reali Life is earnestl
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thca art, to Ll.t returnest,
Was not spoken Of ~ soul.
Not onioymeSt opd not sorrow.
Is our destined end OF way.
But to act. that each tomorrow
Finds us farther than today
Art IS long and Time is feeting,
And our hearts, though stout anc
brave,
stin, like muffled drums, are beatins
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the worlds broad field bf battle,

Be not like dumb. driven cattlel
Re hero in the strifei
Trust no future, hover pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead.
Act--act in the living Present.
Heart within. and God o'erheadl
Lives OF great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands Of Time
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing Ger life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecKed brother
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

COFFEE DISPLAY EXTENSIVE
South and Central America Exploit
Their Great Product-Porto
Rico Represented.

The value of the ST. Louis EXPOSE
ton as an advertising institution and
school of instruction Is fully appre-
ciated by the great coffee growing
countries of South and Central Amer
lea. These countries are showing
their coffees to the thousands Of
Worlds Fair visitors and creating new
demands for the better varieties pro-
duced, which now find q market at
home or in England and Germany.
The countries claim as great merit
for their high grade coffees as is pos
sessed by the famous Mocha and Java,
and they seek to give the public an
object lesson in the use Of coffee!
Brazil serves coffee every afternoon to
all visitors at the Brazil building,
free of charge, in order that they may
sample q better grade Of Rio.
Porto Rico also has an extensive
coffee exhibit, with the hope Of pro
noting q larger trade with its new
mother country.

BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD
Long Regarded as a Luxury by Ma
tives Of Tropics-Bread and
Coffee Facts.

Long regarded only as luxury for
children or proper food for the dark
skinned natives of the tropics, the
banana has advanced to a place of
prominence as a great food product.
The United States and other great ma
tions having colonies in the tropics
have been investigating the food value
of the banana and the results obtained
are so satisfactory that the nutritious
banana is taking its place as staple
food among all civilized nations.
To overcome all objections, the
banana has been especially dried and
prepared for food by making 1t into
fine -four out Of which bread is
made, and other process turns the soft
mushy banana into a wholesome cof-
fee.
The st. Louis Exposition is being
used by the manufacturers of banana
bread and banana coffee to introduce
this new food to the world. Now this
nutritious bread and coffee are served
daily to visitors in the Palace Of
Agriculture, as one Of the many OBJ
ject lessons in food at the Worlds
Fair.

WHAT THE SPEAKER SAID.
Illustrative Instance Of the Ever
Ready Wit Of the Late
Gear" Reed.

Thomas B. Reeds wit and wisdom would
fill large volume, and a larger volume could
be made Of things he did not say, but which
have been credited to him. In one volume
or the other, says Youths Companion, be
longs-a story which comes from California,
and which has probably not been printed
before.
When Mr.. Reed was in California he visited
the Lick observatory on Mount Hamilton.
1t was q wonderful November day, full OF
gold and the bloom Of flowers. Mr.. Reed
looked down at the gorgeous landscape 1000
feet below, and turned to one Of his hosts,
he said:
Colonel. this looks too much like spe-
cial display got up in honor OF the. occa-
.ion: Tell me what typical winter dsyin
California is really like"
The Californian thought at once Of day
in February, SO warm that after morning
bath he had lain in a hammock outdoors.
smelled the roses on the trellis and listened
to the trill OF the meadow-lark among the
almond blooms.
He began to describe Il eloqucntly: "Thir-
teen years ago, on February %, ! took .
bath"
He paused to arrange hi. account Of the
roses and the meadow'Ark. Mr.. Reed broke
the pause.
"Nell. colonel" he said. in admiration,
"you do know someth hing about cleanliness
out here, don't you?"

In conspicuous places about the site
where work is in progress huge pla-
cards bearing the ten commandments.
Strict adherence to these Divine in
functions is required Of every laborer
employed. Repeated violation Of any
commandment by the laborers Is con-
sidered cause for discharge. The
type in which the placards are printed
can be read across the street.
During the recent erection Of the
Market Street Methodist church the
contractor was required to give bond
that no workman employed would use
tobacco, liquor or profanity during
work hoNrs. The men struck once,
and others took their places. The
Market street building is nearly COM
pleted.

Pyemies Discard Tents for Huts

The Pygmies from Africa at the
Worlds Fair became tired Of living
in the tent provided for them and have
built themselves small huts OF sap.
lings, covered with grass and rushes.
In order to give the huts the proper
dimensions, a novel system Of meas
urement was employed. The corner
poles were stuck in the ground and
the architect then lay down on his
stomach. stretching out both arms to
see II the hut would be large enough.

the khaki. II Is these little men In
yellow attire who have come to the
Worlds Fair to show Americans what
we, as a nation. have really acquired
as an accidental result Of Admiral
Dewey's spectacular victory.
The members Of the Constabulary
band we're all finished musicians be-
fore Lieut.. Loving. their leader, took
them in hand. Each one was an artist
In his own line. and all Of them had
seen service IN the military bands OF
the Spanish regime. However, there
was a tremendous task for the band
master. The men possessed execution
without idea. They could read notes
faultlessly, and could keep perfect
time; but that Is only small part
of concerted playing.
Naturally quick to catch new ideas,
they soon grasped the meaning OF the
attack" on which the effect OF q
bands work s0kgely depends. Then
they learned all the mysteries of shad-
ing, from the most delicate tone to the
most powerful crescendo, and 1t Is in
this that their playing is so marvellous.
In the tender, sympathetic passages OF
a selection tie tone is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur, from which 1t
rises, without a crash and without a
blare, sweeping majestically upward
and onward, until the enraptured
listener Is engulfed in mighty bill
low Of sound. Nothing could be more
inspiring than the burst Of melody In
such a climax as that which occurs In
the sextette Of Lucia, and no band ever
handled its climaxes better.
In the most powerful tone, there Is
not the slightest suggestion OF brassi'
ness. 1t is all liquid music. This Is
due almost wholly to the instrumental
ton, which is absolutely faultless.
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead Of the large num-
Der of saxaphones, the Instruments
ton includes four sarrusaphones and
two sousaphones. Moreover, the clari'
nets are not used merely for accom-.
paniment, but actually carry the sec
ond voice.
The music produced is not simply
that of brass band, but is varied for
effect to resemble strings. human
voices and even the pipe organ
Among the players there are several
excellent violinists, and the personnel
of the band is sometimes rearranged
into an orchestra Of 10 men and also
into a guitar glee club.
The leader. Lieut. Loving, is a ma
tive of st. Paul. and graduate Of the
New England conservatory Of music
To his genius and devotion much OF
the success Of the Constabulary band
Is due.
Would that every American citizen
might listen to one Of his matchless
programmes, drink in all the harmony
and all the splendor OF the best band
in the United States, yes. and stay tc
the close. The close is the most i'm
pressive part of the concert. No one
could listen to the playing OF THE
Star Spangled Banner" by that band
of Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded
by other Fihpinos, their hats over
their hearts and their heads bowed, and
doubt that they are Loyalty American.

naked savages. In spite oil
the governments display at the Worlds
Fair, which shows. in addition to the
four wild tribes. the refined Visayans
with their beautiful fabrics and
their delicate embroideries, the loyal
brown soldiers Of Uncle Sam and
the cultured commissioners and OFF,
Gals, there are some purblind indi-
viduals who refuse to. see that the Fill.
pino is anything but a nuisance and
q menace to our country.
That he could be capable Of civiliza-
ton and uplifting seems utterly ride
ulous to-those who have studied him?
No, to the class who dare not visit
the Philippine reservation at the
Worlds Fair for fear OF being con-
WINGED against their will. That q
great many OF the natives Of the is
lands could already be cultured and
refined would be set down as utterly
preposterous by this class.
The soreheads need not be bound
and carried by violence across the fac
smile Bridge of Spain, through the
Walled City to the heart Of the most
wonderful section of the entire ex-
position. They should only be enticed
to listen for an hour to the playing Of
the Constabulary band. No man with
an ounce of appreciation in his soul
could hear that band without being
convinced that the 81 men who com
pose its membership are far above the
ordinary in both intelligence and senti.
ment. A nation or a race may be
judged by its music. A natural feel
ing for rhythm and harmony is not
an attribute of chaotic or unbalanced
mind. It is discord that leads the way
to senseless vandalism and causeless
rebellion.
In behalf of the Filipino 1t mus. be
said that he is q natural musician.
Even the savage head.hunters, in their
peculiar tribal dances, manifest re-
markable feeling for rhythm. There
is none of the Indians wild noise and
broken time in their beating Of brass
tomtoms and their somewhat monoto-
nous singing They possess the mus
ical instinct that. with time and train.
ing. may be developed into just what
the members Of the two Philippine
bands already possess.
The Scout band Is an exceptionally
good military band. such as We have
heard before. The Constabulary band
is in a class by itself. 1t is not to be
compared with any of the other ex'
position bands. Its concerts are held
daily in the large bandstand In the
Philippine plaza, and those who have
heard one concert will gladly forsake
the most interesting exhibit and walk
the entire distance from the heart OF
the grounds to the reservation in or
der to hear another.
The men who compose the constabu
larry and who have done so much to
promote law and order In the islands
are to be distinguished from the ma.
tives in the regular army by their uni.
forms. The military Filipino wears
the blue of the American soldier. The
