Insects Flee Burning Sandalwood.

From the Chicago Tribune
London women have discovered an agree
able way of Kidding their homes of flies and
mosquitoes.
They burn sandalwood in the house, an
idea imported from the orient
In London 1t is possible to get wood pre-.
pared for the purpose: In America it is to
be had at almost any Turkish or Japanese
importing house. 1t is then prepared for
burning by being first cut into small pieces
one-half inch thick and three inches long.
Then 1t is baked dried out in a slow
oven twenty-four hours. A piece of the
wood is put into a metal urn, lighted and
allowed to burn until well afiame. when the
fame is extnguished and the red-hot ember
left to shoulder until the wood is consumed
and nothing left but a heap of fine gray
ashes

Poison In Oriental Rugs.
ON the Philadelphia Record

No School Monday.
The sessions of the schoo! are held every
day except Monday. For the first hour
twenty Visayans ranging from to 20
years of age, are divided into two classes,
those who have had schooling and those
who can speak practically no English
Some of the Visayans can read English
newspapers fiuently and are versed in
Spanish and their own tongue as we'll.
Nearly all are excellent musicians. They
are representatives of the better type of
middle-claSs FilipinoS.
1T is wonderful how good an idea of the
broad scope of the educational work In the
ISLANDS IS given by the two hours and a
haf session with fifty-four Filipino pupils
and Miss Zamora. the native teacher. Most
striking is the number of widely differing
races. but the obSeryant teacher learns that
every grade of the Filipino pupil is rep
resented, from the bright student ready for
high school work, down to the superstitious
and fearful savage boy. jus, as he is gath

Uncle Sam is holding out a very bright
future to the ambitiously inclined Filipinos
by recently establishing for their spectral
benefit at the worlds fair. in ST. Louis a
model educational school. which has Great
ed the greatest enthusiasm among the in
habitants of the Philippine Islands now 81

derful progress and advancement on the
part of eager students. The latter are
deeply approaching, they have no other
undertaking by United States government
In their behalf, the Inauguration of this
successful educational institution.
1t is safe to say that there has never
been offered In the United States any more
interesting exhibit, for either student or
general public than the model Philippine
school. which holds daily sessions from
$40 to 30 am, the Philippine EXPOSE
ton grounds at the worlds fair. Miss
Marie del Pillar Zamora. the only Filipino
teacher in the Insular Normal School of
the United States governments educa tional
department, presides over one of the
strangest gatherings of widely different
races which any educational movement OF
the worlds history has ever brought TO-
gether.

There Is no other place on the fair
grounds where such a varied collection of
native people Is offered as at the Model
School The 1gorrote throws aside the
tom-tom or his exuberant dance and comes
just as he is-with a single loin cloth and
ridiculous basket-woven cap used for a
pocket on his head. The Tinguiane wears
a light cotton coat. The Negrito who ia
as naked as the Igorrote in the confines of
his village, absurdly dresses himself in an

We r glad hat the president has
decided not to send federal troops to
Baltimore. The army should not be
used for police duty or to quell riots
unless there is an absolute necessity
for it. The use of federal troops in
place of municipal police or state
troops in such cases is a dangerous one.
The countr~ should not become used
TO relying upon the military arm of
the national government, and the fed
eral authorities should not establish
the custom of allowing the use of fed
eral troops in such cases unless spoI,

stock markets. while Russian success
might. on the contrary, exert depressing
influences. Thus far none OF the word
money markets have seriously felt the
war, the worst effect falling upon Paris
where Russian bonds are largely held.
1t has been estimated that France holds
not less thar 81. 200, 600. 600 Of Russian
bonds; so that Russia's chances Of in
creasing her borrowings from her best
friend on good terms are not very bril-

which must be paid. by foreign COM

paid gradually; in many cases out OF

RUsSIA'S ABSURD CLAIM.

TAe Russians feel the humiliation
and disgrace of the two signal defeats
their navy has suffered at the very
opening Of the war. They expected To
crush Japan with one blow II she
should have the temerity to 60 to war
Now hat this unexpected blew has
befalleA her she is seeking excuses fer
her misfortune. The pitiful plea has
been put up the Japan o an unfair
advantage by not notifying her before
hand that the attack on the Port Ar
thur feet was going to be made.
Another ridiculous cry h Russians
are making is hat the people of the
Unitea states are responsible for he
coarse pursued by the Japanese.
Every enc knows there is not a word
OF truth in this. Their is no denying
the fact that Japan has the sympathy
OF eur people as she a OF nearly an
Europe. II Japan went to war know
ins she had the moral support Of the
United States and of England and hop-
ing that conditions might arise from
which she would receive the material
aid of those two countries Russia hao
no one bat herself to blame for 1t.

people liz because of her past conduct
and her ~undeniable aspirations for the

possession of territory that belongs 20

independence of China and put his

ercised limited authority over that
country. She is now fighting, not SO
much fer the purpose of gaining aoso-
lutte control as TO prevent Russia Sc
curing possession of it n making It
a part of her vast Asiatic empire. In
keeping Russia out of Korea Japan
knows she is keeping the MuscoVitc
