No more entertaining set of rascals and
story-tellers could we'll be assembled than
those who form the round-table group pre-
scented by Mr.. Burgess and Mr.. Irwin In
their delightful "Picaroons" Periodical
publication of these stories has not robbed
them of their freshness or diverting quail
ties. and now that they have been done
over into book form they are even more
welcome than though this were their first
appearance. For now the reader can ac-
quire q perspective view Of their elemental
qualities and compare rogue with rogue
and invention with invention. The au-
thors note that a picaroon is q petty ras-
cal, one who lives by his wits, an adven-
turer. They acknowledge that they have
drawn their idea from the Picturesque
Tales of the Spanish literature Of the sew
enteenth century, dealing with the for
tunes of beggars. impostors. thieves, etc.,
and chronicling the romance Of roguery,
and that in this San Francisco Nights
Entertainment they have undertaken to
render similar subjects with an essentially
modern setting. Their success is unuues-
tionable, both as to setting and the flavor
of roguery. while their manner of telling
the tales is inimitably amusing. Many
keen satires underline the text here and
there and a spirit of unconfined fun romps
throughout.

This Is the same novel that has been

the other. but the tale Is told to the same
purpose. The transiator's Introductory note
considers the probability of permanent re-

are grounded too deeply even for the kaiser

Safety in the Philippines.

Henry Gannett I'm the National Geographic Maya
zine.
A white man throughout the Philippines
is as safe in travelling or living as In Ari-
zona or Colorado or Montana. He may go
about with perfect freedom. Not only THAI.
but the people are ready and anxious to
show him hospitality. The Filipino from
whom he asks nights lodging feels high
ly honored and gives him of his best. The
men salute him as he passes, and the chill
dren cry "Buenas dias," and are very proud
If their salutation Is returned Among the
wild people the situation is much the same.
although here it is better to send notice of
ones coming in advance and to bear some
sort of credentials.
To illustrate the situation, the work OF
the provincial treasurers Is instanced. Each
Of these (they are all Americans) is re-
quired by his business to visit every pueblo
OF his province. and such trip may in
volve hundreds of miles of travel overland
en- horseback or by carbonate So far as
known, no treasurer has ever been modest
ed, although he often carries much money
about him. The provincial supervisors
also Americans, are obliged to travel every
where, as are many other civil officers of
the government. At the present time
Americans are all over the islands on one
GRAND or another, public or private. No
ono thinks of danger or provides against It.

long to them exclusively. Their service and
assignment to duty is largely governed by
their special qualifications and experience.
They are encouraged to improve themselves
and qualify themselves for special posts.
A covenanted official who can speak the
native languages. who distinguishes him
self In literature or in oratory. who depises
plans for public works. or distinguishes
himself in other intellectual or official lines
OF activity. Is sure to be recognized and re-
ceive rapid advancement. while those who
prefer to perform only the arduous duties
that are required of them will naturally
main in the background.
There Is, and there always will be- more
or less favoritism and partially as long as
human affections and personal regard in
fiuence official conduct. and do not believe
We would have it otherwise. We can adj
mire the stern sense OF Justice which sends
a con to the scaffold or denies a brother a
favor that he asks but we do not like 1T to
have such men in our families. There is
undoubtedly more or less personal and po-
litical influence exercised in the Indian serv-
ice, but l doubt If any other country Is
more free from those common and natural
faults
In addition to the covenanted service are
the imperial service and the provincial
service. which are recruited chiefly from the
natives, although both are open to any SUBJ
ject OF King Edward VII. All these posi-
lions are secured by competitive examina-
tons. and. as l have already intimated.
the universities of India have arranged
their courses of study to prepare native
candidates for them. This has been crit
fcised as a false and injurious educational
policy. The universities are called nurse
ries for the unnatural propagation Of cam
didates for the civil service. and almost
every young man who enters them expects
or at least aspires to. a government posi-
ton. There is no complaint of the eff
cheney OF the material they furnish for the
public Offices. The examinations are usu-
ally sufficient to disclose the mental quail
fcations OF the candidates. and are con-
Quoted with great care and scrupulousness.
but they fail to discover the most essential
qualifications for official responsibility, and
the greater number of native appointees are
contented to settle down at a government
desk and do as little work as possible.

Decrease Of tuberculosis.
From the Providence Journal

Professor Mayer. a German statistician,
Is authority for the encouraging statement
that within twenty hys ysars the relative
mortality from tuber<nIosis in his country
has decreased 130 pefsa0 900 OF population,
Improvement another<eensration would see
tuberculosis reduced to seae Of the minor
diseases in respect OF Che Nnmber OF deaths

but some further Improvement may reason
ably be expected IL only the agencies that
have caused the decrease In mortality SO
tar are continued. These have been found
not In new specific remedies, but In better
care, better nursing and. above ALL in the
sanitary precautions that have come to be
taken as the contagious nature of the dis

ear? In its first stage the telephone
ear becomes acute and sensitive, but
after long use the hearing becomes

service may be attributed rightly 20
the telephone ear. Try it some time.
If you habItuaIIy use the right ear
next time use the left, and see if it
