lepers are brought down, as suspects, from the island districts to the coast towns, and there kept awaiting trans portation to the colony. Several phy- sicians are with the boat, and also a bacteriologist from the Manila bureau of science. Before the suspects can be taken aboard he must be found to be bacteriologically positive. When the work was first undertaken the Ameri- can doctors and their subordinates were not overfamiliar with leprosy except in it's advanced stages. At first only the advanced cases were taken to Culion, but as the colony has grown and the confidence of the natives in- creased, it is now possible to collect the incipient cases as well.
 Culion a Coral Island.
 The scene as one comes in toward the island gives the impression of se- renity The bay is deep and amazingly blue, and 1t swarms with varieties of the most brilliant fish. Reaching out from Culion, crescent wise, is a pe- culiar and fantastic coral formation called the Coral islands, jagged and impossible; within them rises Culion beautiful. Except in typhoon seasons these waters are quiet, and as one hears the shore one has the sensation of being awaited by some spirit of friendlness and peace-an effect nev- CT lost upon the little throng of men and women-and often children-who stand forward in the vessel looking with wondering eyes upon this spot where they are to spend the rest of their lives. They have been expect ing prison. and what they are behold ing has the appearance of home.
 There is the colony. Tho little white houses or shacks with their garden yards cover the hillside. and the larger buildings showing here and there, the hospital, the quarantine buildings, the theater, the church on the headland. and other. But it is on the wharf that the interest centers. There all the able-bodied men of the colony have gathered-an eager throng. In the very vanguard of them trim group of erect men in white uniforms, the Gu lion leper band, already playing vel coming strains which greet the new corners.
 These two crowds gaze toward each other eagerly-the little crowd on the boat, the big one on the landing-be. cause in the colony all the tribes of the Philippine islands are represented, and great is the excitement of those who espy members of their own tribe. On the boat the entire attitude has changed. The despondency which the lepers have felt since they were first taken aboard rapidly gives place to an astonished and childlike delight. Not only does the colony appear now to be a home. but for many of the strangers 1t is the first homo they have ever known. They begin to realize that here they will not be outcasts. living in avoided huts aud among rocks on hill

and other portions of the body. or that lepers are always unsightly from spots and blotches, the fact is that this con- dition prevails only in the advanced stages, and in the beginning, especial ly, the disease is marked by changes so slight that only the expert can iden. tify them. There is no contrast, either. in the general atmosphere of the clean and the unclean parts except perhaps that the unclean is the buster and the happier.
 The colony is organized as a town. Besides the shacks, there are tenement houses for about 1000 lepers At one time there was even a mayor, with his officials, elected by the citizens from among themselves, but this system was not satisfactory, and now the physician in charge is the head of the colony. To him the complaints are brought, and he is virtually the mayor of the town. The lepers furnish their own police, and their band, and they enact their own plays in their own theater. where they have, too. of course. motion pie lures. A special form of money has been put in circulation for the island, and twenty centavos per week is al- lowed each leper as spending money, which he uses for tobacco and candy and nsh, and other commodities.
 There Are Few Escapes.
 There is one general store, with branches in the two districts. The one in the unclean part is managed by Chinese leper. It is a new build- ing, made of concrete, and is one of the interesting sights of the colony. Another center of interest is the big kitchen, where the people can bring their bread and other food to be cooked in the big ovens, if they are not well enough to cook in their own ovens at their shacks. Once a fort night supplies of rice and staples are brought down Tn special boat. and these supplies are distributed to the lepers. Most of the yards have four ishing gardens, and the people raise much of their own fruit and vege- tables. They also have the freedom of a certain part of the bay for fishing. using rafts for the purpose.
 Almost never do they attempt to es- cape, and when this has happened. the fugitives have usually asked to be sent back to the colony
 Perhaps their favorite amusement is baseball, with the exception. of course, of cockfghting Scarce a shack in the unclean part is without it's gamecock. This sport is so instinctive with the Filipino that it has not been forbidden the lepers, in whose favor various laws have been a little stretched, as, for instance, the mar. riage law, lntermarriage is permitted. on the basis that it gives a moral tone to the colony. Few children are born of these marriages. Even if the chil- dren live after birth, their lives arc always brief, and in all the years in which the colony has been operated. very few of these children have lived to see the age of five years.

To launder Tattinu.

To launder tatting successfully, haste 1t firmly to a Turkish bath towel and proceed to wash it as if it were part of the towel. When nearly dry press the tatting, still on the towel, then carefully remove the basting threads and you will find your tatting almost like new.

Making 1t Look Like Anuora.

And, by the way. do you knit? Then do make for yourself or someone else a sweater of the fascinating teazle wool that looks like Angora when the garment is finished. And how do you get this result? By brushing the sweater up the wrong way with wire brush after it is all knitted.-Harpers 8 Bazar.

Sun and wind are apt to damage some evergreen trees during winter. These can be protected by building a triangular frame over them, made of light wood, boarded up on two sides.

Buckles of all sorts are used as trimming. On some of the severe shapes in beaver hats a wide buckle of jet, celluloid or bone is used, with a band of corded ribbon as the sole trimming.
