APE ATTACKS WOMAN.
Atop Omnibus Animal Tries to
Injure Passenger.

London Cable to the Philadelphia North American.
There was an exciting scene recently
on busy oxford Street. 4 fashionably
dressed woman ascended the steps of
an omnibus, accompanied by a large
ape, which was dressed in blue coat
and trousers. They occupied an outside
seat, the ape sitting on the woman's
knee.
Suddenly the ape attacked another
woman passenger and bit her on the
arm. Her cries brought the conductor,
who dragged :he ape away. and the an
imal and the woman owner disappeared
in the crowd. The woman who was
attacked by the animal was not serious
ly hurt, as her long gloves protected her.

TEN YEARS AFTER COLLEGE.
Princeton Applies financial Test
to Grnduate's Career.


Prom the New York Weld.
The average income of Princeton grad
yates ten years out Of college is g, sO5.5s,
according to statistics Of the class OF
1901 This Is doubtless as much as young
men in similar walks of life, who did not
go to college, are earning at the same
age, and the fact to that extent tustlfies
a college education on its practical
side
Yet the application Of the financial
test TO a college career is something hn-
usual, and surprise may be felt that the
Princeton statisticlans deem It necessary
to show the net profit Of a college edu-
cation in dollars and cents. An inven-
tory Of the intellectual assets OF the
graduates OF ten years standing would
be more TO the point
What have they done in the way Of
public service? What books have they
written. with what reform legislation
are their names identified, and what con-
tributiOns have they made to learning or
science? That is a better test.

receiving the one injection requisite. Then he
began to complain bitterly that no medicine was
being put on his sores. But the effect of the
drug soon manifested itself, and he went about
town excitedly demonstrating his improved con
dition to all who would look. Some days later he
disappeared, and the doctor was much disap
pointed because he wanted him for an object
lesson to convince others of the efficiency of the
treatment. To the great surprise of the hospital
staff he turned up again soon afteTward with thir
teen other sufferers from "yaws," whom he haC
brought distance of fifty miles from his native
village, in order that they also might be cured.
In Benguet the wild people are building schoo.
houses and sending their children to them. The
boys are taught to construct looms and the girls
to use them for making cloth. Each girl, on com
pleting her course of education, takes her loon
and returns to her village, thus extending heI
newly-aCquiTed knowledge of weaving to her fam
lily and friends. At Bua is an IgOrot girls schoo,
in which the pupils not only make cloth, but
manufacture articles Of clothing for sale. Baguio
the capital of Benguet, is growing by rapid strides
and new and substantial buildings are springing
up on every side.
Useful plants and particularly vegetables, incIud
ing the Irish potato being placed in the hands
of the wild people. Their agricultural methods al

A point by no means to be lost sight of is thu
fact that these wild people Of Luzon are not say

Of any other race of human beings in the world

Given the advantage Of two or three generations
of such educational opportunities as are now being
afforded them by the Americans and they vii
far exceed in intellectual qualifications the Fill

it does not seem at all unlikely that in the future
they, rather than the Filipinos, will become tht
dominant race in Luzon, controlling the aHairf
Of the island and even those of the whole archi
pelago, in case we should voluntarily surrender
sovereignty. In the meantime, while trying tc
uplift them in the scale of civilization the gov

many primitive peoples on coming into contact

The situation in Apayao is especially difficult
because head-hunting among the trbesmen of
that subprovince is intimately connected with their
religious faith. Nevertheless the practice is be-
ing gradually stamped out and with the help of
the IgorOt and Ifugao constabulary, a number of
murderers have been arrested and punished.
There is still considerable area over which gov
eminent control has not yet been established, and
which has not even been opened up by trails to
any great extent, owing to the inaccessible char
acter of the region. One should realize of course
that head-hunting among these people is not re
garded as murder in the ordinary sense of the
word. 1t is a field sport and manly occupation
established by the custom of centuries be-
fitting Of warrior.
Most troublesome and Enthusiastically of all the
tribes of northern Luzon are the Hongots, of the
sub-proVince of Nueva Viscaya. There are not
more than 5000 5000 of them, but they inhabt
a vast region, most Of it very mountainous and
almost wholly covered by virgin forest. Often
their settlements are merely temporary, and
they are hard to get at. Enormous distances sepa-
rate their villages, which in the more remote
regions continue to fight among themselves. These
were the people who not long ago murdered DR..
William Jones while he was engaged in making
chronological notes among them. Nevertheless,
trails are being pushed into the heart of their
country; two or three government Exchanges"
have been established; industrial schools are being
started for their benefit, and efforts are being
made to induce them to extend their agricultural
operations-partly for the sake of rendering their
communities more stationary.
One should realize that the continual warfare
that has been going on for centuries among the
tribes in the wild mans territory of Northern
Luzon has been due mainly to lack of acquain-
lance among the people. Every stranger being
regarded as an enemy, it was matter of course
that each village should be at with the neigh
boring villages, and head-hunting was an import
ant part OF the regular business of every able
bodied hp ric Il
dies and sweet potato fields could be carried on
with safety only under armed guaTd-heads of
women and children being not less desirable as
trophies than those of men. For doing away with
this situation of affairs, the most effective means
has been TIE building of roads and trails by which
the tribes have been brought into communication
with each other, thus having an opportunity to
become friends. fugaos, Kalingas and Bontoc
1gorots now work side by side with pick and
shovel, instead of hunting each other with head
axes.
It is in fact, a veritable social revolution that
is being accomplished. All Of the Mountain Prov
ince is being literally grdironed with trails and
roads the most inaccessible districts being open

RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum from Per,

No one is better able to realize the

fin coffee-on the heart, than the doc
tor Tea is Just as harmful as coffee
because it, too, contains the drug caf-
feline.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
81 wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. I have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over Is
years. and a part of the time was IN
able to attend TO my business.
.I was g moderate user of coffee and
did not think drinking it hurt me. But
on stopping it and using Postum in
stead, my heart has got all right, and
I ascribe It to the change from coffee
to Postum.
q am prescribing 1t now in cases Of
sickness. especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.
when made right it has much bet
