The life of American women in the
Philippines was a subject of much in
terest during the earlier history of the
American army on those islands. To the
American woman who read of the old
house filled with old treasures and of the
cathedrals sacked of their treasures life
seemed from this distance one full of
romancse. 1t was. of course to entire
ly new and strange conditions that the
army women had to adjust themselves,
but the American colony soon created a
charming life among themselves, and
army women in Manila or even in the
provinces are not undergoing as many
privations as some writer's have pointed
out
Still 1t is always of America that an
army woman wants to hear of, the news
from her native land, and the little
American children being reared in the
Philippines are. after all, under the flag
Of their country. The long distance only
adds to the intense longing for America.
and it is said that a private code exists
between army people and their families
in this country in order that cable mes
sages may express a great deal in the
fewest number OF words, and that one
word sometimes in interpreted to mean
that an army officer or an army woman
has sailed for America

Could Have Waited.

New York Times: A certain suburb
ante was accustomed to bring home
some little remembrance for his little
girl, who always ran up to him and put
her hand in his pocket e~Xpectantly.
Once, however. he was delayed, and
at the last mOmen found that he could
not catch the express train that he al
ways took if he stopped to purchase
anything. When Upon his arrival home
his little daughter started to put her
hand in his pocket he shook his head.
II had to disappoint you tonight,
dear" he said, and seeing her quiverinE
lip, he went on:
1T was this way. AT the last moment
a man came into my office. which kept
me later than usual, and l only just mad
time to catch my train. Now. if l had
stopped as usual to get you something.
l would have had to wait an hour for
another train, which would have made
me get hon too late for dinner"
His daughter thought a moment, and
| said:
Well, papa, I could have waited"

THE FLORA OF NEW ORLEANS.
In Winter Trees Do Not Become Dead,
but Take On a Peculiar Drabness.

New Orleans Censor: The visitor
from the cold and barren north cannot
but be impressed with the flora of New
Orleans, which is green and flourish
ing in winter. Although the plants
and trees do not become dead, as with
us, they take upon themselves, in
memory of winter, a certain drabness.
There are many evergreen trees in
this part of the south, among them
the pine with its high crowna and slen-
der stem, but the plant hat will most
impress the visitor from the north is
the beautiful cabbage palm, which
grows to a height of thirty feet and
has fronds twenty feet long, bending
gracefully outward from the main
stalk, which seldom reaches a height
of more than fifteen or twenty feet.
The panama is similar in shape and
style to the cabbage palm, but by no
means as beautiful.
The great live oak trees are nearly
everywhere, but they are by no means
as beautiful as the huge magnolia, an
other tree that is ever green. The
large leaves of this tree are very thick,
have a brilliant, oily gloss and are of
the most vivid green. The live oak,
While ever green. sheds its leaves once
a year, as does its deciduous relative,
but in a very different manner. The
new leaf TRUSTS itself out and pushes
the old leaf off and takes its place.
In the parks grows a tree or shrub
called the sweet olive, which has the
sweetest, most delicious scent imagin-
able. Another great floral feature of
the city is a Kind of ivy which is a
thing Of wonderful vitality and beau
ty. 1t has little glossy leaves as vivid
ly green as the leaves Of the magnolia
and it covers a wall or anything tC
which it attaches itself-absolutely-
not unevenly, but as smoothly and al,
most as denseiy as though the cover
ing were a green carpet. 1t hugs the
wall tightly and is SO dense that yol
can scarcely part it enough to see tina
to which 1t attaches itself.
But a thing which seems lacking
here is the beautiful and wildly greer
bluegrass of the north. If it grow!
here at all, it is as dead now as i
would be in St. Louis. Most of tn,
lawns are covered with a grass tina
seems to be some kind of a coars'
jointed plant, that does not grow thick
Iy and evenly like bluegrass.

There is in Hungary d village prob
ably unique among the worlds towns,

NUMBERING THE PEOPLE.
Dark Predictions By Foes Of an Eng
lisA Census Bill.

Dark Predictions By Foes of an Eng
lisA censHs Bill.
II was in 1868 that a proposal to
count the people was first made.
Thomas Potter, son Of the archbishop
Of Canterbury and member for 6t
Germans, introduced In that year bill
"tOr taking and registering an annual
account Of the total number of the
people and Of the total number OF
marriages. births and deaths and also
Of the total number Of poor receiving
aims from every parish and extra paro-
chlal place In Great Britain" 1t was
Inevitable, Of course, that directly this
proposal was made the precedent Of
King David should be quoted. And
many were the jeremiads as to the al
tentative evils which would befall the
country. Those submitted to David
were mild in comparison. Mr.. Thorn
ton. member for York city, said:
"I did not believe that there was any
set Of men or. indeed, any individual
Of the human species 80 presumptuous
and so abandoned as to make the pro-
posal we have Just heard. >" I hold
this subject to be totally subversive OF
the last remains Of English liberty.
-" The new bill will direct the i'm
position Of new taxes. and, indeed, the
addition Of very few words will make
1t the most effectual engine Of rapac'
ity and oppression that was ever used
against an injured people. = More
over, an annual register Of our people
will acquaint our enemies abroad with
our weakness"
Matthew Ridley, another opposing
member, added that his constituents
looked ON the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol
low the numbering" However, the
bill passed the commons, only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. MOI
until 1900 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion 1t was
brought to a successful issue. The

OREGON EXHIBIT
NEEDS APPLES

Wilbur X. Newell, who is in charge
of the Oregon horticultural exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark exposition, was
in Hood River Tuesday, endeav oring
to secure specimens of ripe apples for
the Oregon exhibit, which is being
put somewhat in the shade at present
by the fruit from Washington and
other Northwestern states.
The telephone was used, and efforts
made to get some apples, but it seems
that most of the farmers don't raise
summer apples, and Mr. Newell was
forced to return to Portland unre-
warded. The Oregon display must
have some apples, and Mr.. Newell is
anxious that as soon as Hood River
farmers can gather some good looking
apples that they send the same direct
to Mr.. Newell at the exposition. A
bill accompanying the fruit will be
promptly paid by the exposition man.
