Misleading Names.

Practically all the wooden clocks
called Dutch are made In the village
Of Freyburg, in the Black Forest. This
misnomer Is due to simple mispronun-
ciation-'Deutsch" meaning. OF course,
German. Nothing Is more natural
than to assume that India ink comes
from India, but it does not, and never
did, any more than does India rub
Der. India ink is a Chinese product,
and India rubber comes from South
America. Cancels hair brushes are
not made from the hair Of camels,
but from the hair Of the tails OF Rus
sian and Siberian squirrels Cancels
hair is, however, employed in the man
ufacture of certain fabrics to be made
into shawls, etc. and is sometimes
mixed with silk.

to wet their parching threats on so

And HORSE MEAT
TO HUNGRY CEBUS

MANILA, p. l., July 1.-The mill
tary authorities at Fort VIM. Mckln-
ley having condemned 6S horses ana
81 mules, 1t was decided instead OF
selling them to the natives and Chi
nese in Manila for hackwork. that
these animals should be sent down to
Cebu to be killed for food to help re-
lievc hunger that prevails among the
poor people down there by reason OF
the continued drouth.
The transport Liscum arrived In
Cebu on Sunday morning with these
animals and the work Of distributing
them and killing them was promptly
begun. The first days killing took
place Immediately on arrival in the
parrios of Cebu city, when eleven
were killed, one more being killed on
Monday, and another on Tuesday.
The second days slaughter was in
the southern towns, sixty-seyen being
divided among the people. and third
day saw twenty-three slaughtered III
the northern district of the island.
The slaughter OF these animals
means that over 100000 pounds OF
| fresh meat has been distributed
among the poor people during the
/ past few days.

HONoLU LU IRON WORKS
ENTERPRISE TN ORIENT

Tropical Life, London, for June has
an article on the increasing import
ance Of the philippines as trade cen-
ter. in which the following occurs with
regard to the introduction of modern
sugar mills:
"The Honolulu Iron Works are 10
the fore. as they are In Formosa, where
we understand they have fitted up the
bulk Of the estates. and, no doubt, be-
ing situated ont in Hawaii, eofnpara-
lively close to both centers, gives them
an afvantage over our makers; but.
only one. and with all the. other con-
veniences that must accrue through %
ing Ia the United Kingdom, we ought
not to have been cut out both Of For
naosa and the Philippines as we have
been. It is all very well to plead 'du-,
ties. and these may hold good with
the Philippines, though we are not sure
that they do as fully as some pretend,
but in Forrnosa they certainly can not
count. 1t must have been purely a
question OF greater influence, more
push, and, perhaps, more intimate
knowledge of what was on the taps,
that enabled the Honolulu iron Works
to secure the orders first. If they could
do this. the English makers could;
and we feel that our engineers are not
, showing up well as regards securIhs
orders from these and other nom Eng
lish centers for machinery. We hope
they will be more pushful in the fu-
! ture otherwise our trade will go back.

THE CRAZE FOR SPEED

It does not seem as if the craze for speed would ever cease; and we are told that the speediest automobiles are to be demonstrated the coming spring and that on clear level they will be capable of making two miles a min ute
 If this is true, the automobile will be shown to be capable of more speed than the aeroplane; and the predic ton that air navigation would be the next great speed craze promises to fall to the ground. for if men can make as fast time on the earth as it is pos slDle for them to make in the air they are liable to prefer travelling by road 10 travelling by flight, since the dan ger must be to degree less per1ous.
 The motor car has a wide field of usefulness and is growing in favor every day, It makes travel easier and more comfortable. and for the speed fer movement of heavy loads and the delivery of goods it has every other power beaten. It has proven to be more economical than horses in fire service,
 Automobiling is in it's first stage and it will be interesting to note how many new and popular uses it may be put to in the next five years.

LOOKING FOR PERMANENT Joss

It is surprising how popular places in the public service are becoming. and how many people are desirous of passing civil service examinations and finding a profitable place in Uncle Sam's great establishment.
 There were no less than 105,024 per sons who took examinations in the year ending June 30, 1911. for 23,256 fed eral government positions, or, as they are more familiarly known, govern ment jobs" It Is interesting to note that of the total number of appli- cants more than two- thirds succeeded in passing the examinations, which indicates that the applicants were pretty well informed or else the ex- aminations were exceptionally easy; and the result indicates that there may be three men in waiting for any place in the gift of Uncle Sam.
 This report leaves no doubt that there are more people than ever look ing for soft snap in this age. and the eight-hour day and the wage which never fails are certainly a strong allurement. It isn't probable that there will be less applicants examined this year. There is always room LID high CT but on the public place level there iB prospect that there will always be crowd.
