there is probably no disease for which

berlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys
all extensive sale, has met with great
success in the treatment of this d.
seases. One application of Pain Balm
will relieve the pain, and hundreds

cures by its use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords such quick relief
and costs but tritie? Tor sale by

OUR FILIPINO BROTHERS
FIRST CENSUS AN INTERESTING ONE
Many Statistics Concerning Eight Million
People, One Half of Whom
Can Read and Write.

The first census of the Philippines
has been completed and the United
States government has published a
volume showing results.
The census book is full of valuable
information and much of the matter
is we'll worth general dissemination.
The total population of the archipelago
is returned from 342 independent is
lands is 1885, 426, of whom almost
1000, 0C0 are more or less civilized.
The wild tribes form about per ceut
of the entire population. The civilized
tribes are practically all adherents of
the Catholic church. The Moros are
Mohammedans, and the other wild
peoples have no recognized religious
beliefs. The excess of birth rate over
death rate has been large, in spite of
sudden and great losses as a result of
epidemics Of various diseases.
There are four towns with a popu-
lation exceeding 10000 each, and
thirty-five with a population exceeding
5000. Manila is the only incorporat-
ed city in the islands, and its in
habitants numbered 2l9.928.
Three -fifths of the population live
in villages Of less than 1000 inhabit-
ants and 4 per cent in towns of over
5000. Over 80 per cent of the civil
lied population were born in the
archipelago. The foreigners number
about 50,000, of whom nearly three
fourths are Chinese.
The reading of Spanish was dis
couraged from the earliest times by
the friars, who felt that it would re-
snlt in diminution of their authority.
Therefore the majority of those re-
ported as literate can read and write
only in their native language.
More than half of the population
can neither read nor write in any
language, and of the A. 3 per cent able
to read less than One-half can write,
while the number able to both read
and write constitutes only One-tfth of
the population at least 10 years of
age. only la per cent have received
a superior education. The number
attending school, as shown by the pop
ulation schedules, is 81, 7l5.
Males of voting age form nearly one
fourth of the total Christian popula-
'on, and of this number only about
third are literate. Ninety seven
