NEW LANGUAGE HAS EVOLVED
Americans in the Philippines Have
Departed In Large Measure From
Familiar Tongue.

Fifteen years ago the American flag
first tioated over a Malay archipelago
in the far Pacific. Spanish was the
current speech among the upper class
es there. The common people spoke a
dozen different dialects-unintelligi
one to the other.
We came, saw and possessed and,
shortly after the flag, boatloads of
teachers arrived with the school books
and pedagogy of the west.
The teachers brought American lit
erature with them. They brought
American songs, American games,
American ideas and American ideals
and they brought the American man
ner of speech.
Meanwhile a reflex action was quiet
ly at work. Without realizing it the
newcomers were being influenced by
the new land and the new people
New methods of living were en-
forced on the Americans Their rules
of health did not always apply. Day
after day they were surrounded by
people observing strange customs, fol
lowing a totally different moral code
and speaking an unfamiliar tongue.
Gradually the customs became less
strange, the moral code less different
and the tongue less unfamiliar While
endeavoring to establish their ways
and methods, the Americans uncon-
sciously were yielding to the ways and
methods of the country.
Many things of great value in the
old order had no place in the new. In
particular the old manner of speech
often failed TO convey the meaning in
tended
The Americans daily encountered
things they had no names for. They
met conditions which could not be apt
ly described in their own tongue. The
Filipino Obhgingly furnished the name
or expression from some one of his
vernaculars and it passed into the cur
rent speech of the American.
Then certain officials. trades, articles
of clothing and food that had names in
English would be repeatedly referred
to by the Filipinos in their own dia-
lect when they talked with their teach
eTs. Gradually the teachers came to
use the same expressions

Wanted to Be Accurate

The secondary school was deep in
the study of physiology. The pupils
were highly interested, but disposed to
be painfully accurate about their an
swers of questions.
One day there was a review.
Which of you children" asked the
teacher, can tell in what part of your
body the heart is situated?"
A little maid on the Jack seat held
up her hand:
Well, Mary, where is your heart?"
asked the teacher.
In the north central part, ma am, 3"

Jap Women Have Few RIGHTS.

Until recent years, when a Japanese
wife failed to present her husband
with a son he was free to supplant
her with a successor more fortunate,
and even today the Japanese girl must
always address her brother with the

still little known in the Land of the

1t in several places. These steam pipes
have small vent holes drilled into them
in number Of places in order to allow
the steam to escape. The box IL filled
with the sail to be sterilized and the
live steam is turned into the pipes. The
steam escapes from the soil. This IL the
common way Of treating green house
soil. OF course 1t is a big task. but
one which Is necessary for continued
success In tho work.
Some persons who are In forcing
work feel that It Is excessibly costly
and q great deal Of work to change
tho soil in the benches each year or to
undertake the sterilization. Tho re-
turns from forcing houses are 50 COM
paratively late for the amount Of space
used that one should neglect no rea-
sonable expense to secure large crop.
A very good estimate for forcing
houses IL IS cents per square foot for
the season. Most successful growers
find II desirable to take out the old
soil from the beds each fall and place
in new. The old soil Is usually piled
outside Of the house and allowed to
freeze and weather for q season or two,
and perhaps composted and then ster-
ilized and again put back In the house.

CLUB MEMBERS TOLD
WHY GIRLS GO WRONG

Boston, Mass, April 23.-Many OF
the working girls who go wrong and
at least fifty per cent of the men and
women sentenced to prison and other
criminal institutions are feeble minded
according to DR.. Walter e, Fernald,
superintendent of the state hospital
for the feeble minded at Waverly, who
addressed a meeting at the city club
last night.
DR.. Fernald said that only 1000 Of
the, 10000 feeble minded persons in
Massac husetts are under restraint.
5"Unless the state extends it's system
Of restraint and segregation to these
afflicted persons, the increase of Grim
inals and the girls who go wrong will
be appalling" he declared. "Investiga-
lions by the vice commissions show
that from Is to 40 per cent Of the girls
who fail to protect themselves are
feeble minded It is really not so
much a question. Of low wages, the
committee found, as 1t Is that the
girls have no resistance power"

SUFFRAGE is NOT
OPPOSED BY CHURCH

Baltimore. Md, April 23.-Cardinal
Gibbons yesterday said that the Cath
Ollie church as such had not taken a
stand against woman suffrage. He
made this statement in reply to one
given out last Saturday by Miss Inez
Mullholland, who said the Catholic
church was attempting to prevent
women from getting the ballot.
THAT Is an error he said. THE
of the Catholic church is to de-
fine faith and morals. In other mat
tiers individuals decide for them selves.
/ am opposed to female suf-
frage, because / am In favor of per
petuating the real dignity of woman.
"Woman's sphere is the home, and
as wife and mother she will have am
pie occasion to engage all her time and
faculties. The wife who absents her
self from her home habitually newt
ably neglects her children and causes
her husband to suffer by her absence.
[ believe society cannot afford to risk
the safety of the family and the de-
struction of the home"

Green House and Vegetable Forcing
Troubles.

Within the last few days the writer
has been called to visit forcing estab-
lishments in the island district where
the party is having great deal OF
trouble with plant diseases and worms
in his green house SOIL Upon inquiry,
it is found that the soil had not peen
sterilized for several years. Ines 80
troubles may always be expected IN
such conditions. There are certain
kinds Of soil troubles which yield read
ily to freezing. If the soil can De
thoroughly frozen each winter the
trouble is averted. In case 1t can not
be frozen, it may often times be help
FIJI to sterilize with wive steam. This
sterilization is some times accomplished
by taking large flat sheet iron tray
with steam attachment at the top: Thls
trap is placed on top Of the soil ana
a hose is coupled on and live steam Is
turned in and allowed to cook the
ground for number Of hours. This
will effectively sterilize it to a depth OF
several inches in case the work ;,, Is
rightly done Another way of sterlilz-
ing with steam is to have very large
box made with steam running through
