EDUCATION IN PHILIPPINES.
System of Public Instruction Has Been
Successful

The bureau of insular affairs, War De-
partment is in receipt of number of bull
le,ins published by the bureau of educa-
ton. Manila, which show that-the system
Of public instruction introduced into the
islands is. eminenty practical.
The purpose of those who are directing
the course of studies is to exalt the dignity
of labor. Effort is made to train the eye
and the hand as well as the head. In the
provincial secondary schools two years
courses in mechanical drawing, woodwork
ing and ironworking are prescribed for stu
dents in arts and crafts, and give the STU
dents a fair knowledge of mechanical draw
ing. blacksmithlng and toolmaking.
more advanced course includes architec-
ture, cabinetmaking. carriage building,
wood turning and pattern making. There
are also courses for machinists and steam
engineering.
Tools and equipment have been secured
for eight different schools with woodmak-
ing machinery and for three schools in iron
working outfits. Particular attention Is
given to the care of the instruments and
tools.
Particular attention has been given to
normal school work in order to train up
class of native teachers for the public
schools of the Islands. and this course has
been pursued with eagerness by hundreds
of natives, but at present there Is no In
stitution in the Philippines in which in
struction Is given in English of a sufficient
ly advanced character to fit students to
enter American colleges. 1t is therefore
proposed to offer in the normal school pre-
paratory courses of an advanced nature
adequate for the attainment of this pur-
pose.
Another school that will have profound
influence in the development of the Islands
ds the nautical school. The coast line OF
the islands is greater than that of the
United States and as there Is at present
almost total lack of railways. and the
highways being In poor condition for the
most part the waters OF the archipelago
must continue to be used as a means OF
transportation. There are at present 1O3
students In the school, and every member
of the last three graduating classes Is en-
ployed with one exception) at salaries
ranging from s275 to $50 per month-one be-
ing a mate on q Japanese liner.
The course OF study pursued covers a Pc
Rod OF four years and includes English,
mathematics, navigation. seamanship.
geography, chemistry and history. This
students are from twenty-five different
provinces. and owing to their training. their
Malay blood and acquaintance with the
water from childhood make excellent sea-
men and are proud of their profession.

The Alliance of Quality
and Small Price is What
Counts i'm FTecht Clothing.

After ais said and done, it's
the matter of price littleness and
high quality that counts. And
quality that emphasizes the high
est possible degree of achieve
rnent is the real consideration with
most men when it comes to buy
ing clothing. That's the motif
that inspires and pervades this
great clothing business. The
worlds best makers are drawn
upon-not a line here and there.
Each maker does some one thing
best. 1t may be suits-it may be
trousers-it may be overcoats-- i.
may be rain coats. We're not
tiled up" to any one maker. Each
makers best-and only his best
makes up this peerless and ever
better assembly of mems wear.
And never has any season opened
with the standard of merit and ex-
tensiveness of display quite so
near the ideal we've always striven
for. Never were we so we'll ready
to serve every man in Washing
ton-and there's no reason why
we should not do so, considering
the matter from every viewpoint
of style, quality and price.

There are some hot springs by the

Of twenty or thirty wooden boxes the

up the water and pouring it over their

.aHnmIet" nt EIsInore.

Shakespearean commentators have
wondered why the poet placed the
scenes of Hamlet at Elsinore, in the
island of Zealand whereas the Danish
prince lived and died in Jutland But
the municipal authorities at Elsinore
discovered in their archives that an
English company was dcting in their
town in 1887 or 1888, and among the
names of the actors are several of those
who were acting with Shakespeare in
London in 1899. Obviously these ac-
tors must have talked about their ad-
ventures in Denmark, and so Shake
speare became well acquainted with
ElsinOre and when he wrote Hamlet
naturally placed the scene in a place
which he knew by description rather
than in place of which he knew moth

Living on a Few Cents a Day.

The problem of living on few cents
a day is not so difficult of solution If
one cares to limit oneself to the actual
necessaries. For instance, we could
point to the workers in the turpentine
forests, who labor hard from sun to
sun on bill of fare that costs not
more than or 6 cents per meal. The
average ration of turpentine hand"
in the woods per week is five pounds
of bacon or pork, one peck of corn
meal one quart of molasses and a
pint of salt The value of this ration
is about 81 to $1.1O.
The real problem, then, is not really
how cheaply may one live but how
many of the extras of eating one is
willing to do without - Savannah

So Mnny Uses as Corn.
Probably few things that grow are
capable of so many uses or are as com
pletely used as corn. The grain is
used for food both for human beings
and cattle, while the stalks are used as
cattle feed. The pith of the cornstalks
is used in the manufacture of smoke

high grade varnish and in the manu-
facture of paper The woody portions
are used in the manufacture of cheap
quality of paper
AS food corn is supplied in MANY
forms. The most familiar are as meal
hominy and grits. Practically all the
starch that is used in the United States
Is made from corn. Immense quanti
ties are also used in the manufacture
of glucose, which, among other things.
enters largely into the manufacture of
beer as a substitute for malt.
a large quantity of corn Is used an
nually in the manufacture of whisky
and nearly 100000 bushels are used

The Mammoth and the MOSQUITO

What has come to pass in thousands of
years seems hardly credible Primitive
man, weakling in comparison to modern
man, was able to conquer the huge mon
sters OF thousands of years ago, such as
the Mammoth. and today they are dead
forever yet the mosquito and flv have
never been conquered. It is now time
for the scientist to devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito and fly, so that thev will
go to join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dan
gerous enemies of man because they spread
contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house
hy spreads germs of disease over our food.
These bacterial germs, ever hunting for
the weak spot, find a place in our blood
and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, con-
sumption, or malaria.
DR.. R. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, saws: vThere
would be no grip epidemics, the germs of
consumption, or malaria would find no
place IN the human economy, if the blood
were pure, If the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood. Poisons
should not be allowed to accumulate in the
body to be safe it is best to take a gentle
laxative at least once a week. Such a
vegetable laxative as DIR. Pierces Pleasant
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For putting the blood in order, and as
tissue-builder and tonic for those weakened
by coughs, colds, catarrh, grip, nothing will

Beetle soldiers and Sailors.

There are beetles in England, of the

and sailors, the red species being called
by the former name and the blue spe-
cies by the latter. These beetles are
among the most quarrelsOme of insects
and fight to the death on the least

tom among English boys to catch and
set them fighting with each other.
