<-117T1l0zlG HERE are some people VINO
~ still assert that the United
" States obtained nothing,
ylW@LIX through the annexation OF
~ the Philippines, but lot of
naked savages. In spite of
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-
yiduals who refuse to see that the Fill
pino is anything but nuisance and
a 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-
vinced against their will. That a
great many or 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 it's 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. 1t is discord that leads the way
to senseless vandalism and causeless
rebellion.
In behalf of the Filipino it mus be
said that he is a natural musician.
Even the savage head-hunters, in their
peculiar tribal dances, manifest a 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

quantities; but Lancashire, satisfied
with the American supply, and failing
to foresee the lean years." forgot to
think imperially." She has belied her
proud boast of anticipating the thought
of the rest of England, and her want OF
foresight has cost her dear. But the
lesson has been learned, and with char
acteristic energy Lancashire has lost no
time in taking steps to guard against
disaster in the future
The shortage from which Lancashire
is now suffering has perhaps only called
attention to problem which will be
solved in time to avert a greater catas-
trophe to Lancashire and the empire.
When the manufacturers of Lancashire
found themselves face to face with the
crisis they rose to the occasion with
admirable courage and energy. They
instituted general short time-that is
to say, it was agreed that the mills, in
stead of working Ga hours week, should
only work for 48 hours. Recently it has
been decided to still further reduce the
working hours to 40. The object of this
reduction was to reduce the demand for
the raw article and prevent the price
from rising beyond certain point.
Had manufacture proceeded at the or
binary rate the price of cotton would
have risen to such point that manu-
facturers would have been unable to
sell their products at profit, and finan-
cial disaster would have overwhelmed
Lancashire Moreover, the reductions
of output tended to minimize any of
the evil effects of the speculation of the
cotton kings" in New York The hard
ships entailed by short time have been
borne without murmur by the men,
who are, naturally, the first to suffer
from the crisis. Indeed, it is not alone
the men who are the sufferers. In al
most no industry does female labor play
so important part. 1t is a common
thing to find husband and a wife and
children working practically side by
side in the same mill. The workers, both
men and women, recognize that the
steps which the masters have been COM
PEELED to take are in their ultimate in
terests, and they cheerfully bear the i'm
mediate loss for the sake of the future.
Normal times are shortly expected to
return. In the opinion of those best
qualified to judge, the mills, on the ar
rival of the new crop, will be able to
resume full time in October, and the
crisis, the severest since the great cot
ton famine during the civil war in the
United States. will be over.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine (or a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into convulsions,' says a
Colorado mother.
81 decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when 1 reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although l
had never used the food, we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum

tains the elements nature demands.

spot" cotton-that is, cotton in bale,
ready for delivery-being confined to the
Liverpool exchange. Liverpool, Curl
ously enough, has never been a manu-
facturer of cotton, and sees cotton only
in transit on its way to and from Man
chester in one form or another.
To see cotton in the process of manu-
facture it is necessary to leave that not
very lovely city and journey to towns
even less lovely. The visitor can take
his choice of so good-sized towns with
in 20 miles of Manchester. He may go
to Oldham and find q town the size of Ed
inburg quiVering with the vibrations
from countless mills; he may go to Boil
ton and find town larger than Dundee,
with mills in almost every street. Ash
ton-under-Lyne, Haywood, Middleton,
Castleton, and Rochdale will give him
ample opportunity of further study OF
the process of manufacture, if his educa-
ton is not yet completed. One thing
he will find difficult to decide is which
is the ugliest of all these swarming hives
of industry The cotton trade has
brought many blessings to Lancashire,
but it has destroyed the beauty of one
of the prettiest counties in England.
How pretty it was may be judged from
the few remaining spots of beauty which
the cotton mill and coal mine have left
untouched.
In every respect the cotton trade is
unique, but perhaps its most striking
feature is the relations which exist be-
tween employers and employed. In no
other industry is there the same mutual
confidence and respect between masters
and men. Since the great strike, and'its
settlement by the Brooklands agree
ment, there has been peace, and the
terms of that agreement seem to render
any future strike out of the question.
Under that agreement the representa-
tives of the men have access to the books
of the employers, and so the sliding scale
of wages can be easily determined with
out friction or suspicion.
Much misconception prevails with re-
gard to the cause of the cotton crisis,
and much indiscriminate criticism has
been passed on the American spectators
in futures" Although the action of
those Spectators has been detrimental
to the trade, inasmuch as their dealings
have tended to unsteady the market and
cause unnecessary f1uctuation, specula-
ton alone is powerless to fetter great
industry. The causes of the crisis are TO
be traced back far beyond the handful

we, as nation, have really acquired
as an accidental result of Admiral
Dewey's spectacular victory.
The members of the Constabulary
band were 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. sHowever, there
was 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 a small part
of concerted playing

they soon grasped the meaning of the

they learned all the mysteries of shad-
ing, from the most delicate tone to the
most powerful crescendo, and it is in
this that their playing is so marvellous.
In the tender, sympathetic passages OF

most exquisite murmur, from which it

and onward, until the enraptured

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 Instruments
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 guitar glee club.
The leader, Lieut.. Loving, is 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.

dire disaster to Lancashire industries
from which it is hoped the new crop will
rescue them.
Statistics tell us that the cotton indus
try is England's greatest industry; but
a visit to Lancashire will bring home
the truth of that statement more con-
vincingly than any array of figures. 1t is
only necessary to see the gigantic ware
houses of Manchester and the long pro-
cession of 'lurries" piled up with hy-
ically-compressed shirtings and
calicoes through its streets, to realize
what is the magnitude and Importance
of the industry Of which Manchester is
the center. The number of mills in Man
chester itself is more comparatively linn
tied, the tendency being to separate the
places of production and exchange.
How vast and complicated is the process
of the disposal of the manufactured ar

change which stands in the heart of

Pygmies 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, 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 if the hut would be large enough.

Judge Parker's High Sense OF Duty

When Judge Parker gave up his
great office he resigned the position

height of his ambition. His inclina.
tion ran to judicial rather than admin

the New York court of appeals he be
came the head of the most distinguish

position TO be filed by the vote OF the
people. His term would not expire
until 1912. and the salary OF the office
is $4,000 a year. Furthermore he was
practically certain TO succeed himself
if he wished. But all that he liked
