WEALTH AND pEATY
IN clTY'e GROWTH
Aged Retired Farmer Ends Ills Life
After Last Potato Patch Becomes
Building Lots.

Sufult9 LUIS
New ls.-Unwilling to see the city
encroach on what so years ago had
been his prosperous farm, John E'aulk-
ner killed himself by cutting his throat
in his home, No. 1916 Coney Island
Ave-, Brooklyn.
Mr., Faulkner, rs years old, had come
from Ireland 60 years ago and started
his farm down in the South Greenfield
section Of Brooklyn. He was one of
the first farmers there, and for many
years his place produced such good
revenue that he became wealthy.
The house in which he killed him
self he built SO years ago and had
lived there ever since. With the in
crease in city taxes he had to divide
his farm into city lots and he sold
them from time to time until nothing
was left of the farm. Residences and
business structures filed what had
been his prize potato field, and his
acres of garden.
His profits were large, but he was
not happy. He had lost his farm and
this matter weighed on his mind, with
advancing years, until he became mel
ancholy. His son, Thomas Faulkner,
and the latter's wife lived with him.
The housekeeper, Anna Geeghan, heard
means last night and found him in his
room with his throat cut. He soon
died.

Science and the semi-civilized Igor
rotes of the Philippines would hardly
seem at first sight to go we'll togeth-
er, but thanks to the bureaus of agri.
culture, science and education of I'm
they are being associated with most
promising results.
In recent years many of the Igor
rotes and other semi-civilized noun
tain peoples of the archipelago have
been employed by the Philippine gov.
ernment in the building of roads,
bridges and other public improve
ments in the mountain province, and
the work has brought them compare.
tive prosperity. These improvements
are nearing completion, however, and
the problem of furnishing the peo-
pie with a means of livelihood when
they are no longer needed as wage
laborers is being taken up by the
experts Of the three government bu-
reaus mentioned.
The solution of the problem, ac
cording to the government experts,
lies along three lines, agriculture,
stock raising and silk culture. In
the establishment of the industries
on firm basis, science, which is
a conception beyond the reach of
the minds of most of these untutored
folk, is to be brought to their assis-
tance by government which, in SO
far as they are concerned, must be
somewhat paternalistic if it is to
stand for civilization.
Steps that have already been taken
point to gratifying success. Seed rice
of a type carefully bred by the bu-
reau of agriculture has been distribu-
ted to some extent and has resulted
in yields five times as great as those
from the rice of the sort usually
grown.
back into existence the coffee grow
ing industry among the Igorrotes. The
industry was wiped out by a plant
blight before the American occupation
and the natives have never been able
to re-establish it. Now the bureau
of agriculture is distributing blight
resistant type Of coffee which is grow
ing well. The bureau is also intro
ducing new plants adapted to condi
tions among the Igorrotes such as the
nongo bean from India, American
corn and kind of sweet potato
Plans are we'll under way for introduc
ing among the mountain people bet
ter bred horses, cattle and hogs.
In the introduction of silk culture
three bureaus are co-operatingg. The
bureau of science is furnishing the
worms, the bureau of agriculture the
mulberry trees and the bureau of edu
cation teachers to explain the vari
GUS phases of the work. The indus
try is established at several stations
and it is planned to spread it through
out the mountain province.

STRANGE USES
Some Pictures Have Been Devoted

Pictures have ere now been devoted
to strange uses. On one occasion, for
instance, William Hunt was commits
stoned to paint the portrait of
kneelins gentleman, in whose hand
was an open scroll, with declaration
of love and offer OF marriage thereon.
The lady TO whom this unusual pro-
posal of marriage was sent replied
with chalk drawing of herself, hold
ing a sheet of paper, inscribed with
the laconic Yes"
Pictures have not infrequently been
chosen by whimsical testators as
hiding places of their wills. To an
even greater length of eccentricity
did gentleman go when he gave
handsome sum of money to Mulready
to execute figure subject on the
back of his will, which, thus adorned,
was framed and hung in his drawing
room!
At an inn George Moreland once
ran up an account which he was un-
able to meet. He offered picture in
payment; but Boniface shook his
head. Suddenly, however, fancy
seized him and he invited Morland to
step into the yard. A few days later
Morland was in possession of re-
| ceipted bill, and the following Sunday
mine host appeared at church in
waistcoat, across which was the pic
ture of a gigantic pig.
