THE PHILIPPINES

"The democrats say that If Parker
is elected, the Philippines will be
turned over to them for self govern
ment. Republicans say we will help
civilze this people. 5000 school
teachers have been sent there and in
three years the republican party has
done more to civiliZe the people than
Spain did in 800 years"
The speaker at this time introduced
colorcd maps showing the acquisitions
made by the United States since her
colonial days. The details of each
purchase was gone into which proved
highly interesting to the audience.

bravery at Santiago. After the war
ne returned to New York and was
elected governor He appealed TO-
the New York legislators to adjust
the taxes so as to tax the rich even

Men Who Tinnle.

nm sure you must often congratu.
late yourself, as do myself, that you
are not like men who seem to suffer
from perpetual thirst and cannot even
sit through three act play without
going out for drink. l was reading a
mans novel the other day, and in ev-
cry few pages there was something
about drinks. I wonder how many
times a day an average man Of fashion
has drink. To Judge from the book
in question, Mt least twice between
breakfast and luncheon, two or three
times between luncheon and dinner
and after dinner up to somewhere in
the small hours at very short intervals.
How ruinous this must be TO the con-
stitution! How dulling to the brain!
And what fine specific for shortening
life! But it is the fashion, and men are
slaves Of fashion quite rs much as wo-
men are; in matters Of eating and
drinking even more so.-London Truth.

In former times the Danes used to
sail up the mouths of the English rlv-
ers to pillage the churches. When they
We're caught they were skinned and
their skins nailed to the door Of the
church they attacked. In course of
time all the exposed portion would peel
off, but that covered by the nail would
be protected and thus bear testimony
to the cruelty OF the ancient English
men. In the London College Of Sur

part Of her time at his home and the
remainder at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. Mary A. Miles,

ago.
Mrs. Parker was Mary l.. Schoon-
maker, Of Rochester, Ulster county,
and was related to Augustus S.
Schoonmaker in whose law office
Judge Parker began his preparation

Jochem Schoonmaker, head of the
original colonial settlement of Iol-
land Dutch at Kingston, of whom
Marius, another member Of the fam

Milk Fever.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has recently issued
Circular No. 46, Of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, entitled Milk
Fever: Its Simple Successful Treat
ment. 1t gives a complete descrip-
ton Of the astonishingly successful
results obtained in the treatment Of
this heretofore extremely fatal NAL
ady by the injection Of filtered at
mospheric air into the udder Milk
fever affects well-nourished, heavy
milking COWS in all the large dairy
districts of this country, and is
characterized by the complete par
alysis of the animal after calving.
AS it attacks the best milking COWS
in the herd and at time when the
milk flow is the heaviest, the disease
is one which has caused very severe
losses in our dairy industry. 1t is,
therefore, Of the greatest importance
that every milk producer acquaint
himself with the present extremely
successful treatment and should
provide himself with a suitable APP
paratus for injecting sterile air
through each teat until the udder is
well distended. The air treatment
is by far the most simple and prac-
ticable, as well as the most eilicac-
ious and harmless one everused, and
has reduced the fatality from the
disease to almost nothing. 1t is
easy Of manipulation, requires but
little time, and is readily accomp-
lished by means Of the apparatus
suggested by the bureau. Up to
within recent times most stringent
measures were resorted to by every
careful dairyman to prevent the dis
ease in his herd. However, since
the air treatment has so greatly re-
duced, and even in some cases oblit-
Grated, the mortality, prevention is
no longer such an important problem
and therefore preventive measures
such as starving, blood letting, etc.,
which have a severe and lasting
effect upon animals, should be
abandoned. The most recent pre-
ventive treatment suggested is il
line with the favorable results OBJ
tanned by the injection Of air into
the udder. 1t consists in allowing
the susceptible COW to retain in the
udder for twenty-four hours follow
ing calving all the milk except th'
small quantity required by the calf
The distention Of the udder nat

Simon Glazer, a Des Moines rabbi,

Simon Glazer, Des Moines rabbi,
has written a history of the Jews in
Iowa. He estimates their number at
Il little more than 10000 and their
aggregate wealth at $4,275,OoO.
About one-half of this wealth is held
by the Jews of Des Moines and Dav-
enport. There are practically no
Jews in the state who are objects of
charity. About 60 per cent are of
foreign birth chiefly from Germany
and Russia. In sixty-four of the
nincty-nine counties of the state
there is no record Of jew ever hav-
ing been criminally prosecuted.
There are no Jew prohibitionists,
and neither do Jews ever die of
alcoholism in Iowa. MIR. Glazer pre-
diets that within the next twenty
five years that there will be more
jewish farmers in Iowa than there
are now small merchants in the
crowded street.

The Philippines are part of the

cluding foreign vessels and prevent
ing trade between the people of the
islands and other countries. But
when the Filipinos send their pro-

is treated as foreign nation and
tariff rates are exacted. Such treat

A feeling most fnrlorn.

When father Sliaves his face.
Ito gets his razor from the shelf,
Anu stropS 1t up and down,

And throws us all u frown.

And spots the window pane:
But mother says she doesn't care,
She'll clean It off again.
She tries to please him all she can,
To save us from disgrace:
For he's an awful nervous man,
When father shavcs his facs.
We try to sit like mummies there,
And live tho ordeal through;
And hear the razor rip and tear,
And likewise father, too,
And If it slips and cuts his chin,
We jump and quit the place;
