THE PHILIPPINES.
Something About the Habits
and Advantages of the
Inhabitants.

To the student of cold facts and fig
ures, the census reports Of the Philip
pine Islands offers a most inviting
field of investigation. The individ-
ual who studies the report dispas-
sionately will find himself greatly
surprised in many things, and will bave
his impressions of the Filipinos them
selves considerably heightened.
There are 3,14l islands belonging
to the United States. The area is
10, 900 square miles-about four times
the size af .Ksntucky.--.. ---.-..- .. 81.
There are twenty volcanoes in the
island, twelve of which are exceedingly
active.
Earthquakes are Of continual occur.
renee, slight shocks making themselves
felt at intervals of every few days or
weeks, while severe ones, shaking down
whole villages and doing more or less
injury to life and property, are of GER
tain occurrence in some parts Of the
archipelago, almost every year.
The climate is tropical, and cyclones
are severe and frequent.
The total population Of the Philip
pine Islands was, in 1908, 1885, 42S.
The products Of the Philippine Islands
include every article raised in the trop-
ical zone aud many produced in the
temperate zone. The soil IL extremely
fertile.
Cholera, smallpox, plague and beri-
beri, are not uncommon diseases in the
Philippines. The climate is not consid'
cred healthy for whites, neither is it
nearly &C unhealthy as that of Panama.
There are more hogs than all other
domestic stock combined, but all classes
Of animals are subject to diseases that
sweep them away by thousands. In
1902, nearly one-half the cattle and
horses Of the islands died in single
season from a cattle and stock plague.
TIE average size farm in the Philip
pines is II acres while majority are
smaller in size than even this. The av-
erage farm in the United States con.
tains l46 acres.
There are sos churches in the Phil
ippine Islands, or one church for each
4,345 of the population. This compares
quite favorably with some Of the civil
lized nations.
There are few paupers in these
islands. The pauper rate in the Philip
pines IL one to every ten thousand. In
the United States it is twelve to ev-
cry ten thousand.
The criminal record Of the Philip
pine Islands is excellent. In 1902, there
were less than eight criminals to each
ten thousand population, while during
the same year the rate in the United
States was thirteen to every ten thous-
and.
There are 1926 school teachers and
500, 900 children attending the Philip
pine schools. The per cent of educa-
ton among the Filipinos is higher than
either that Of Cuba or Porto Rico.
On the whole, the little brown men
Of the Philippines appear to be pretty
decent sort of fellows.

In Memory

OF Elvira Fulkerson, who died at the
home Of her daughter, Mrs. WIN.
Withrow, near Smallhouse, KY, aged
- years. She leaves three daughters
and one son, all grown and married,
one sister and host of friends and rel
atives to mourn her loss
She professed religion and joined the
Baptist church when quite young and
lived aconsisteiit christian -aati! death
She was prepared and willing to die.
Her friendly, cheerful, hospitable ma
ture made her quite a favorite wherev-
er she was known.
In her religious life she was meek and
humble. She loved God and loved the
services and worship Of the house of
God. So, dear children, weep not for
your mother, for she is resting in the
arms of Jesus, where parting and
trouble never come. A FRIEND.

authorities, whose resentment of the

an intelligent bargain, and were in
consequence shamefuly swindled
The islands are seldom visited by
ships and the Russian officials refuse to
allow whisky to be sent the natives
from the mainland, as serious conse.
quences invariably follow when they
are maddened by liquor.
When the American whalers stopped
at the islands, therefore, they were
eagerly welcomed by the chief men.
Skillful questioning revealed that the
stores of ivory aud furs taken in the
last winter were unusually large, and the
whalers proceeded shrewdly to get them

forgot their own shrewdness, and were
willing to pay exorbitant prices in
furs and ivory for the fiery liquor. The
Americans encouraged their guests to
drink, and gambling soon replaced bar
tering. When the whalers had obtain
ed practically all the produce of the
hunting season, they insisted on the
ivory and furs being taken on board the
ships before the liquor given in pay
ment was sent ashore.

there was plenty of inspiration, several
barrels of whiskey having changed

village when tho whiskey was opened.
Both men and women took part in the
orgy, which continued for days. Fight
ing soon began and, continued almost in

The burning of young woman at
the stake was the revival of an ancient
savage rite. which appealed to the
cruelty of the liquor maddened village,
the natives dancing around the living
torch. A man was hanged because of
the enmity borne him by chief of the
village. The orgies continued until all
the liquor had been spilled or drank.
The Americans sailed away before the
end. The anger of the Siberian Gov
eminent has been aroused against the
sailors, and they will be prohibited
from trading on the islands again.

The Funeral of a Town.

A town that never has anything to
do in public way, is on the way to the
cemetery. ANY citizen who will do
nothing for his town, furnishes the
coffin. The man who is so selfish as to
have no time from business to give to
city affairs, ia making the shroud. The
man who will not advertise, is driving
the hearse. The man who is always
pulling back from any public enterprise,
throws boquets on the grave. The man
who is so stingy and selfish rs to be
hard times, breaches the fu-
neral sermon and sings the doxology,
and thus the town lies buried, free from
all sorrow and care.
