GAME IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Philippine forests and jungles

40 species Of birds Of prey, of which
o. are peculiar 10 them, writes William
E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record-Her-
aid In size they vary from a tiny fall

immense eagle called "the monkey
catcher" because its favorite occupa-

nocent monkeys out Of the trees
There are five species of eatable ducks

of pigeons and cartridges, quail, snipe

several of the islands large numbers
of natives are engaged in gathering
the nests, that are worth more than
their weight In gold. and shipping
them over to Chinese mandarins. They
are made of sea moss cemented to-
gether by gelatinous secretion from
the sallvary glands of the birds, and
are usually hidden in the hollows of
steep cliffs along the seashore. The

but profitable.

Cigarettes in the Public Schools.
Philadelphia Press.

I0lldOelpnlu IIc>S.
The story that 20, 900 boys in the pub
lie schools of this city smoke cigarettes
is an amazing one. This is nearly one
in four. 1t is an estimate, though based
upon report of more than 5000 cases
to the city superintendent.
Whether the estimated figures are
exaggerated or not, there is no doubt
whatever that an alarming number of
the schoolboys use tobacco, and almost
invariably in the form of cigarettes.
The extent of the evil has attracted the
attention of superintendent and teach
ers, and it is obvious that whatever is
possible should be done to abate it, The
disastrous effects are shown in the fact
that in nearly every instance the cigar
cite smokers are below the average of
their classes.
There are difficulties in dealing with
this matter, but if the laws of the State
were enforced in few cases 1t would
probably have a reforming effect. The
sale of cigarettes to minor is prohibit
ed by an act passed in 1903. Where do
the schoolboys get their cigarettes? If
that can be ascertained even in few
instances and examples made of those
who do not heed the law it would GER
tainly accomplish something.
The act was passed for just such a
purpose, but it will be of small conse-
quence if no attempt is made to enforce
its provisions. Find out where the boys
get their cigarettes; the rest will not be
difficult.

The Shah's Trip.
Hartford COurant.

hartIOrQ COufant.
Muzaffer-ed- Din Mira of Persia left
Teheran on Sunday for Europe. This
is the third visit since his accession to
the throne, of Persia in 1896. He sets
up plea of health for these visits, but
as he always makes sejourn at Paris,
either before or after his cure" the
pleasure to be got out of the trip is its
main object. Teheran is pretty dull in
comparison with Paris, in spite of the
fact that there are nightingales and rose
gardens in Teheran, and that one has to
look for other attractions In Paris.
The foreign trips made by the shah
of Persia are the most unpopular things
that he does. No intelligent and SER
ious Persian likes to have the shah alb
sent from Persia. In the first place
these trips cost good deal of money,
and Persia has no money to spare. In
the second place, most Persians know
that their country lacks about every
thing that a civilized land should
possess, and they think that the money
required for these trips should be used
at home. In the third place, they know
that the money thus squandered in Eu-
rope only increases the need for Russian
loans Russia being a borrower in Eu-
rope and lender in Ashland they re-
gard every cent thus thus borrowed as
a new threat at the stability Of the Per-
sian state. Beside all this, there is the
entirely human feeling that 1t is not
fair for the sovereign to go in for cost
~ pleasuring when so many Persians
are very poor
Force, however, is the only thing that
counts in Persia in regard TO. securing

count there in public affairs. Unless
sofAs one shoots the present shah, as
his father was shot nine years ago, he

Why He is Popular.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Chicago lnter-Ocean.
The cause of Theodore Roosevelt's
popularity-what is it? Let him who
still asks this question read the story of
the President at Church in Colorado on
Sunday.
A plain man among plain people, in
everyday clothes and with homely, COM
mon sense phrases on his lips, depend
ing on his innate dignity to keep the
respect of his fellow citizens, and spurn-
ing all ostentatious pretense-that was
Theodore Roosevelt as he appeared on
Sunday in the Old Blue Schoolhouse on
West Divide Creek.
A great deal has been printed about
the imperial splendor in which the Pres
ident is said to delight. Atyet no other
President since Lincoln has ventured
before the American people so often as
a plain man on his merits.
Whenever the President goes among
them the people see that this IS true.
They see man unrestrained from the
duty of the day by any accident of dress
or attendance-so sure Of his own dig
nifty as an American citizen that he
never seeks to bolster it with the affec-
lions of pomp and circumstances.
His instructive reliance on his innate
merits, which sent him through the
campaign Of 1900 in business suit be
cause he was on business, and sent him
to church on Sunday in hunting dress
because to go there is his habit of
Sunday, is what makes Theodore Roose-
welt popular.

CULTIVATION OF A WEED.
One That Grew Until It Became q
Prize Among Its
Species.

Ordinarily, the sure way to kill a
weed is to become attached to 1t, and
give ii the same care one would give
to an exotic. The chances are that 1t

weed that became the glory of his

nobody else had, willingly, and we
were proud of it, namely, a 'jimson-

ity among cultivated plants, / spared
it. This weed endured prosperity with
a cheer that it was good to see. It
grew and grew until 1t was the prize
among its species.
"Out in California they have lin
sons so big that you can play under
them, but | speak now of our humble
eastern variety, which is usually of a
dusty, weed-like aspect, rooted among
ash-dumps, crockery and old cans, and
