TOBACCO THE CHIEF CROP.
Great Profits Yielded by the Indus
frv in PhfIinniu0s

Great Profits Yielded by the Indus
try in the Philippines.
Tobacco has played a most important
part in the history Of the Philippines
No other industry has done so much to
support them in the past, and at the
present time no industry contributes
more to the support Of the insuIar
government in internal revenues than
tobacco.
The Cagayan valley has produced to-
bacco for the government manufac-
tories Of Spain and Austria for more
than 40 years. For 101 years of this
time (from 1871 to 1892, when the
tobacco industry was a monopoly of
the Spanish government, the taxes or
revenues from the production Of TO-
bacco in the Cagayan valley paid half
of the entire expenses of the insular
government. During the time Of the
Spanish monopoly it was the intention
of the government to force the natives
to raise not only more tobacco but a
better quality. In this they succeeded.
What can be done in this line by
private companies is we'll emphasized
by the success of several companies or
ganized after the adjustment of the
Spanish monopoly and some Of them
even since the Spanish war. The
largest of these companies is known as
Compania General de Tabacos de Fill
pinas, or, as known in English, the Gen
eral Tobacco Company. The stockhold-
ers Of this corporation reside mostly in
Spain, although there are a few in the
Philippines. One of the largest stock
holders is the marquis de Camillas one
Of the wealthiest men of Spain. This
company grew so rapidly and made so
much money out Of the cultivation Of
tobacco that to-day it is one Of the
largest commercial enterprises in the
orient. 1t is capitalized at 100000,
on which it is paying heavy dividends.
Many of its employees are stockholders
in the opportunities Weekly.

your family would thank me for put
ting you there if they knew"
"My family" he exclaimed. "Why,
they're all gone, Miss Mayhew-all
gone. For the sake of them and the
days when you knew me an innocent
boy in Sceneryville, won't you let me
go? There was Art, my older brother
you'll let me 90 for the sake of Art,
won't you-Arthur, with his blue eyes
and his gentle ways, that was so differ
ent from the rest of the Garlins?
Why"
Unconsciously he lowered his hands
and placed one of them to his fore
head as if his memory troubled him.
Strange to say, no admonition came
from the curtains as he thus passed the
line Of the woman's stern decree. In
deed, the revolver held in Miss May
hew's hand rested there in a meaning
less way, as If she had forgotten the
need of defending herself.
"Soneway," continued Garlin after a
brief pause, I'D forgot about Art-and
you, so many things have happened
since landed in that cursed New York.
After Art died, you know, we moved to
the city, and that's where l got into
the company that's brought me to what
| am tonight"
Miss Mayhew's voice, high and
strained, came to him with a question.
when did Arthur-that is, what year
did you move away from Sceneryville
II have never heard a word from
there since 1 read of Arthur's mar
riage."
Garlin took another unheeded step
toward her. You're mistaken, Miss
Mayhem" he said in an anxious tone

Would Reform Cornor,finnx

Judge Peter S. Grosscup Of Chicago,
in a recent address before the peoples in
stitute at Cooper Union, New York City,
referring to large corporations said that
they were here to stay, and there was no
more use of destroying them than in cut
ting off ones hands and feet in the hope
that better ones would grow. He de-
scribed the methods used by Yerkes to
get control of the street railway system
of Chicago and what he did after he got
it. He expressed the opinion that if
similar acts had been done by an indi-
vidual instead of under cover of a cor
porate organization ways would have been
found for putting the offender into
stripes. The remedy, he thought, could
be achieved only by working out the re-
demption of the corporation until it was
made the instrument of the peopl He
thought that our splendid President"
did not quite grasp the situation. or he
would be able to put this movement on
the way in a single night.

Pearl trimming is frequent upon
evening dresses.
Wall-fower brown is a shade used
for spring cloths.
Cross-over fchu effects trim many
of the newest bodices.
A great many brown and ecru hats
appear in spring millinery.
Chine ribbons will be worn good
deal, and they are very pretty.
Pale pongee color and putty shades
seem to be favorites for spring.
Variety in millinery is as pronounced
as in dressmaking this season.
Black and white effects in summer
fabrics are to be fashionable.
Frogs ami cabochons are found even
on the linen suits this season.
4 soft suede tint and a deep amber
are two of the favored yellows.
There is a new yellow-green that re-
sembles pale lettuce shade. It seems
to be gaining in popular fancy.
Drap souple of silky weave made in
the kimono order makes a graceful
evening wrap.
The touch of gold in tailored suits
is SO carefully handled that it is not so
inappropriate as one might think.
Pongees in natural color showing
double linked ring spots of blue, red,
green or brown are worthy of attention.
White IS the favorite for all sorts
and conditions of dressy gowns. 1t is
always satisfactory and becoming. two
very important facts. When in doubt

ly realizing that he had been talking
rather feelingly Of that which was mere
retrospect when the precious moments
should have been used to his own ad-
vantage. He stared, scarcely able to
believe his eyes when he found the
spot that had so recently held his life
and freedom in subsection. The menac-
ing revolver and the purposeful eyes
no longer confronted him; the draperies
met in heavy fold. Mr.. Garlin tip
toed to his coat, to his weapon, and
softly made his way to the open win

otherwise. And yet

sound that was like woman's sob?-

How to stay Young.

Perpetual youth is generally consld-
cred as great a myth as alchemy. 1t
isn't Men have lived and died in the
search for it from the beginning OF
time. And it was just within reach
Many have possessed it. Few have
reached it. For none have realized
that the art of remaining young is, like
love, hate, music, not thing OF shape
and tangible form but a state.
Ponce De Leon spent a lifetime IN
the search for the fountain of eternal
youth in the Everglades of Florida. The
real fountain was flowing in his veins.
1t was only when he gave up the search
and became a skeptic that the fountain
was plugged. The man who discovered
alcohol thought he had found eternal
youth. But he hadn't. He only dlscov-
cred a spree. The vendors of nostruns
that are heralded as preservers OF
life's springs are but sounding varia-
tions OF that first spree.
There is only one key to eternal
youth. There always will be. We call
it enthusiasm. Keep on full head of
enthusiasm and you will never grow
old. Skepticism brings on the crows
feet and the rheumatism. Optimism
makes red blood.

Why Orange Blossoms:

Dozens of different stories are told
as to why orange blossoms have been
adopted as the universal bridal flower.
A Spanish gardeners daughter is said
to have started the fashion. She was
in despair of marrying poor lover,
because she had no dowry to bring him.
Nevertheless, she was conquettish
enough one day to deck her lovely hair
with sprays of orange blossoms. Meet
ing her fathers employee, he was so
struck with her beauty that he at once
offered to supply the necessary dowry.
Out of gratitude for the luck" the
blossoms had brought her, the bride
wore profusion of them at her we'd
ding-and set the fashion.

ming of married life a scheme of duty
o. which every hour is filed with work,
says a correspondent. This she fol-
lows religiously for years, feeling that
she has done her duty. She, however,
soon becomes merely a machine. Can
any woman keep brightness, originality
of thought, or even good looks, with
such life: And, without those things.
how can she keep her husband and chill
dren full of loving admiration? Con-
slant association with others of her
own age, with her children and their
friends. and an occasional period of
recreation is what the average woman
requires to make her attractive.

There is woman who makes it a rule

She has number of beautiful frames
so she selects new prints for them. The
best masters are copied and it is posi-
bic to secure beautiful pictures for only
a little money. Then the old prints
may be put away for future use. It

I think man ought to choose his own
ration. Lots of people are vegetarians.
| think we eat too much meat for health.
For the sustenance Of physical exertion
if you have hard work to do there is
nothing better than starch or sugar. The
cereal-eatins nations can endure more
physical toll than the meat-eating nations.
That is not the accepted view, but it is
true. You cannot tire out a japanese
who eats rice. He will draw you around
The town on pound of rice and be as
fresh at the close of the day as when he
started. You could not do that on a
pound of meat TO save your life
As TO the much-advertised nerve and
brain foods, DR.. Wiley thought these all
nonsense, as also the idea of getting fat
ON drugs On the contrary. he said. most
of them have a degrading effect. For in
stance. man will fatten for a time on
arsenic. but if kept up the treatment soon
causes death.
DIR. Wiley is also authority for the
statement that every man eats every day
l per cent of his weight in dry food SO
that it requires 100 days for him to ''eat
his own head off, This at least is the
average for the normal individual. If
he eats less than this amount he will lose
in weight: if he eats more he will gain.
The doctor thinks that every person
should consume a total in liquids and sol
ids of ~ pounds per day.
Referring to the necessity of maintain
ing high condition of physical energy,
DR.. Wiley says: "A man may drink a
glass of typhoid germs if he is in vigor-
Gus health and may not get typhoid fever.
because his system may throw off the poi
son. but if he is broken down one of the
germs will produce typhoid. Not man
but has pneumonia germ in his mouth.
1t will not affect the healthy being. but
let man get cold and it will take its
seat in his lungs"

waists seen in the stores with double
ruffie down the front and ruffied collar
and cuffs will neceSSitate the use of the
old-fashioned crimping iron or some
thing quite as effective. They are very
feminine looking, and will be certain
to be popular at the beginning of the
spring.
One of the freaks of fashion this
summer will be the bishop sleeve waist,
in which the large sleeves of the bish-
OPP, the red bands and the stole will all
be seen. This waist requires the short
glove, but there is no certainty that
the style will be taking one, and
after all the short sleeve and thin
waist may again be in fashion, as they
are so much liked.

Transparency on the top The dress
makers have gone wild over it, and its
combination with other shades and
mere touch Of black makes exquisite
results. While these shades of yellow
are full Of character, they are soft and
suggestive. Cyclamen, a plnkish yell
low tone, is popular, or rather will be
also asp, an iridescent radiance full of
snakish green. The most fascinating
of pearl grays-and again we have all
the forest colors softened and touched
upon. They are all dead, however. for
the rich autumnal leaves will not be
repeated this spring. There is a renin-
iscence of glowing leaves and rusty
tree trunks, but that is all.

A school teacher tells a story of Mrs.
Alice Roosevelt LOngworth that brings
out characteristic trait of her father.
The little girl was asked in regard to
her mothers illness. and she replied
that because of that her father stayed
at home and it was very inconvenient,"
as mamma always understood if she,
Alice, failed to get home until 4 80
O'Clock if told to be at home by 4, while
papa could not understand that 4 did
not always mean exactly 4 O'Clock"

Divorce Habit Grows.

It seems pretty clear that the divorce
habit is growing in the United States,
as recent statistics show that between
the years 1867 and 1886 the proportion
was SO in 100000, and between 1887
and 1906 the number was 40 per 10O,-
600. The habit seems to be growing
more rapidly in Philadelphia than in
other large cities. having increased
from % in the first period to 63 in the
second for every 100000. Chicago does
not seem to be as much in the habit as
might be suspected, even Boston having
a larger percentage of increase.

wireless Telephone Improvement.

Word comes from Berlin quoting Adj
miral Ii. y. Nancy, one of the American
representatives at the wireless conference
in 1906, as authority for the statement
that, whereas before the conference a
quarter of mile was the limit for wire
less telephoning, it is now possible TO
communicate over distance of thirty
miles. The system experimental with is
meant for marine use only. as it is more
costly and less effective on land than the
ordinary system. Admiral Nancy thinks
that if the receiver can be improved upon
the system is liable to be adopted by tha
American navy.
