craft in the philippines.

The InterIsland News, of Zambango,
Mindanao publishes a statement from
the Mania Review of Trade and Price
CurreGts, from which we learn that.
In the Philippines. official salaries are
nearly twice as high as they are in
the United States. In the Philippines
the Secretary of the Interior, Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Secretary of Com
merce and superintendent of Public
Instruction, receive $4,000 apiece,
while in this country, the Secretaries
Of the, Interior, the Treasury and Com
meree and Labor get 5000 apiece,
and the Commissioner of Education
SO, 800. Nor is that the worst feature
Of extravaganza in the Philippines. The
writer of the article referred TO adds
But the worst feature of the situa-
ton is that fully double the number of
public servants needed are employed.
This. together with the exorbitant
salaries paid. show what might be ac-
complished in the way of public i'm

While the business men of Manila do
not favor any reduction of revenue.
they do favor substantial cut In the
sxorbitant salaries OF officials and other
sources Of leakage which will enable
the government to borrow at least one
bundled millions of dollars gold with
which to build highways. railways and
other necessary public Improvements.
This would open up these islands from
end to end and increase production a
hundredfold- Recognizing this fact,
the business men OF the Philippines are
willing TO pay every cent they can
sand for this purpose. but they are
tired OF wearing themselves to their
withers paying exorbitant salaries to
public officials who know little and
care less about the commercial inter
ssts Of the Archipelago.
They see the civil government here

SECRET OF RIPE OLD AGE.
Eminent Russian Savant Declares
Sour MIX The Diet.


Eminent Russian savant Declares
Sour MIX The Diet.
If you wish to live to good old age,
rich food should be avoided. NJ.
Metchinkoff, the eminent Russian
savant, who is the present subdirec-
tor Of the Pasteur Institute in Paris,
suggests that the best diet might be
sour milk, which does not sound very
palatable. Still the fact remains that
races which live on sour milk are
noted for their health, strength and
longevity The microbes of turned
tactical appear to have the peculiar
power of waging war upon and de-
stroying the bacilll in the human
system which are supposed to be the
causes OF death, thus serving not only
as food, but as an antiseptic.
This question of the prolongation Of
life is one which has long occupied
the attention Of the scientific world,
and there is no worker In this field
whose researches are of more i'm
portanee than NJ. Metchnikoff. In his
latest work he states the reasons
which lead him to think the three
score years and ten Of the Psalmlst
are not the natural form OF human
existence.
He points out that the animal and
vegetable worlds contain many ex-
traordinary examples Of longevity.
And. finally, he holds that by care
for health and the employment of the
same methods which have led to such
remarkable results in the culture of
vegetables. 1t should be possible, not
only to prolong life, but to make old
age vigorous and healthy. Men of 60
or 20 would retain their force and
younger men of 81 would no longer be
thought mature or capable of taking
part in public life.

In the matter of laying down q field

Select land having a clean, mellow, fer
tile surface soil everything a deeply
drained subsoil having no acidlty. Use
large plump seed free from impurities
and strong In terminating power. In
oculate the seed with the proper kind
Of bacteria, providing alfalfa has not
been grown successfully on the land In
recent years.
AS early In the spring as the land
is dry enough and warm enough to be
worked to good advantage make a suit

about twenty pounds of alfalfa seed
per acre from the grass seed box placed
in front of the grain drill and about
one bushel of spring wheat or of barley
per acre from the tubes of the drill
Smooth the land with a light harrow
or with weeder, and If 1t is very
loose and rather dry also roll 1t and
again go over 1t with the harrow or
the weeder. As soon as ripe cut the
grain and avoid leaving 1t on the land
longer than necessary. Give the alfalfa
plants every opportunity to get good
start in the autumn In preparation for
the winter.
II for hay cut each crop Of alfalfa
in the following year as soon as II
starts to bloom. In curing try to re-
tain as many OF the leaves on the stems
as possible to protect the crop from
rain Never cut or pasture alfalfa
sufficiently close to the ground to re-
move the crowns Of the roots and thus
injure or possibly kill the plants. II
these directions are followed the al
falfa may be expected to produce large
and valuable crops for a number of
years without reseeding.

The penal colony Of the state Of

300 miles off the coast. There are 600
convicts at present. They arise at 6
a. m. and work till p. m. for the state
cultivating cotton Of superfine GUAM
ty. After two o'clock they work for
themselves. The island Is one Of the
most orderly and productive bits OF
soil in Brazil. It is model convict
colony and the cheapest run Of any in
the world
The group Of islands to which the
penal one belongs is where the equa-
torial and south equatorial currents
divide, and 1t Is surrounded by tri-
angular sheet Of quiet sea, full Of all
kinds of fish, valuable commercially.
As convict labor may be had at ter
cents a day there is opportunity for

Action of Nature Has Given II DH

There Is a wall OF cement In Los
Angeles which shores up one side OF
building lot that has an 'arastic
value never intended by the builder.
He had moved his bags of cement
on to the ground to be ready for work
and was then called away on some
other job for day or two. In the
meantime one Of the very infrequent
rains came on and each sack turned
into stone under the action Of the wa
ter and the fabric Of the sacks them
selves were absorbed into the cement
so that it was impossible to remove It.
Consequently each sack was wrought
into the wall as If 1t had been boul-
der on the line Of an old stone wall.
They were then chinked and bound
together with worked cement and
after time the weather disposed OF
the gynny sacking, but left the blocks

The result Is a highly ornamental
