SMUGGLING IN PHILIPPINES.
Swift Beat Brings Contrabnnd Goods

Swift Boat Brings Contrabnnd Goods

Smuggling in the Philippine Islands

only few days ago a cargo Of khaki,
smuggled into the country by way Of

the fact
The cloth was dropped on the east
coast somewhere near Baker, logged
across the mountains to secluded in
let on the lake and boldly brought into
Manila. Sleuths of the government got
track Of it before it was landed, but
there was no way to stop it.
There is smuggling, too, in the north
country. but its greatest home is in the
SuIu archipelago, with Borneo as its
base. There in that back alIeyway Of
the sea it has gone on for ages without
let or hindrance. Hundreds of swift
going vintas are engaged in the illicit
trade and heretofore they have carried
on the traffic in the light of day.
1t has never been anybody's business
to watch them. The trade was good
for Borneo and Spanish sovereignty sat
lightly in the sea of Dyaks. A month
ago when a legislative committee went
from Manila to investigate the question
it found a hundred boats loading con
traband on the Bcrneo coast and it

For many years after our country

Cheap canned corn is improved by
the addition of a little sugar.
Egg stains can be removed from sill
yer by means of a dry cloth and com
mon table salt
Charcoal absorbs all dampness, for
which reason it should be kept in boxes
with siIyerware to prevent rust.
A pinch of sugar added to freshly
made mustard not only makes it much
more tasty, but keeps it fresh much
longer.
4 teaspoonful of lemon juice to a
quart Of water will make rice very
white and keep the grains separate
when boiled.
Pack mashed potatoes into glass
meat jars, previously Toured. When
needed the bulk of potatoes can be
shaken from the jar, cut into slices
and fried.
If boiled custard is neglected it
cooks lumpy. If it is removed from
the stove and beaten with an egg beat
er the humps will disappear. Use a
wheel beaten.
Save the shoe polish daubers from
liquid polishes, since they are useful
for polishing stoves. \ small sponge
can be inserted in the wire when the
brush is worn out
Eggcups or dishes stained with egg
should not be washed in hot soda wa
ter, as it makes the stain harden. If
placed in cold water the stains will
come off quite easily.
If starched clothes become wet with
rain on the line, do not take them
down, but allow them to remain until
the sun dries them. and they will have
lost none Of the stiffness.
To clean brass pans, rub them with
powdered bath brick moistened with
vinegar. Afterward wash them. and
when dry polish with a little whiting
Oh 4 leather or soft cloth.
Clean cork Iinoleum by using tepid
water in which there is enough house
hold ammonia to soften the water. Am
nonfa and SKINNED milk will clean an
oilcloth or linoleum floor covering.
MIX toast and cheese is a tasty
luncheon dish. When trying to think
Of something little different for lunch
make some rich milk toast and place
It in fat pan. Cover with thick
layer Of grated cheese and put in the
oven till the cheese melts and browns.
