A Philippine Medicine Tree.

Between the provincial building and
the Filipino schoolhouse, part of which
is used as girls dormitory, stands the
sacred tree of the Ifugaos, with span
of its branches of 300 feet. Nor is it a
tree at all in the true sense, for it is a
gigantic example Of the balete, which
begins as a parasite vine, kills the tree
on which it rises and then hides it in
its twining trunk. The Ifugaos think
that when that huge tree dies they, too,
will perish, but there is an industry, a
stolidity and a stamina in that obscure
race that should remove from their
hearts all fear Of eXtinction.-Christian

HEAT EXHAUSTION.

The recent spell of excessively hot
weather gave the usual number of vic
Tins and it is more than probable that
the remaining hot days of this summer
shall produce more heat prostrations.
Authorities are saying that many
heat exhaustion cases are in reality
beer or meat exhaustions superinduced
by drinking beer or other alcoholic bev-
erages and the eating of meat. They
lead US to infer that individuals who
are free from the habits of eating the
flesh of animals and of drinking intoxi-
cants will not be seriously affected by
the excessive heat of summer.
To avoid the distressing symptoms of
heat stroke or sun stroke avoid over
eating and also avoid eating and
drinking food and liquids that produce
and ordinary alcoholic
The records show that
those who drink beer, gin, whisky,
brandy and the like even in moderation
are more susceptible to the diseases
known as sunstroke or heat exhaustion.
Flesh eating is more often respon-
sible for intestinal troubles or autoin-
toxication than all other causes COM
bined, according to the opinions of
those who are in position to know.
Victims of intestinal disorders or auto
are easily the more sus-
,eptible to the heat. Diarrhoea, nausea

ObIiteratina Class Distinctions.

Modern and cultured persons, be-
lieye, object to their children seeing
kitchen company or being taught by a
woman like Peggotty. But surely it is
more important to be educated in a
sense of human dignity and equality
than in anything else in the world.
And child who has once had to re-
spect kind and capable woman Of the
lower classes will respect the lower
classes forever. The true way to over
come the evil in class distinctions is not
to denounce them as revolutionists de-
nounce them, but to ignore them as chill
dren ignore theme. K. Chesterton.

CHILDREN MEET
SANTA CLAUS AT
WAILUKU AMORY
Community Christmas Tree Last Night
Drew Unexpectedly Large Crowd
Present For All

The community Christmas tree at
the Wailuku armory last evening was
a success beyond all expectations.
The big drill hall was literally jam
med with people, very large majori-
ty being little folk. 1t seemed that
every foot of space was occupied,
and looking at the crowd one wonder
ed where they all came from. 1t was
a happy crowd. Except for a few
minutes of serious speech-making, or
during the singing, the merriment
was unconfined. The noise and joy
was not all among the youngsters,
either, for the mama and papa children
entered into the spirit of the occasion
to the fullest.
The original intention had been to
have the exercises on the courthouse
grounds, but the proviso was fortu-
nately made if the weather should
happen not to be just right, the or
mory would be used instead, AS it
turned out, showers of the earlier
evening had left the court house
grounds in a damp condition, and,
moreover rain constantly threatened;
so the armory, near by, was used
The tree was toward one corner
of the drill hall, and the presents
were on it, beneath it and around it,
There was something for every kid
die and a whole lot besides. Every
thing was brilliantly illuminated, and
