Moro ChieftaIn Lived to
Be Eighty-Three Years Old;
Remarkable Age for Tropics

The tombS Of some of the Moro
chiefs of the Philippines are a curious
combination Of native ingenuity and
civilized finery. An ancient and dis
tinguished Moro chieftain is said to
have lived to be 83 years old-a re-
markable age for the tropics where
men and women mature early and die
young. according to American stand
ards. This chieftain, BenguitO, was not
only a distinguished warrior of pow
erful tribe, but also a wise diplomat.
He held his tribe under firm control
during many turbulent periods. He
was usually at peace with the Span
iards when they had control of the
islands, but when he occasionally
struck. perhaps on the advent of a new
Spanish gOvernOr-general, he struck
hard, and with such savage ferOcity
and good generalship, followed by
mastery disappearance of the entire
tribe into the jungle Businesses, that
the Spaniards, after some show of pur-
suit, were glad to make a peace treaty
and leave Benguito to the management
and administration of his own tribal
affairs. When the Americans took pos
session of the Philippines, Benguito
with unusual discrimination for ma
tive refused to be led into the Agui-
naldO revolution, maintaining digni-
fed but armed and watchful neutral
ity, and when he saw clearly, long
ahead of the other native chiefs, the
rising star of the Americans, he grace
fully suggested a coalition or treaty
with the United States which nearly
took the breath away from the Ameri-
can authorities, some of whom had
about concluded that the only way to
make peace with the Moro was with
a Krag rifle.
Benguito's body lay in state for 35
days within his tomb, constructed Of
bamboo framework, but decorated
with white cloth after the MOslem
fashion, for he and his tribe were de-
vout Mohammedans. The body Of the
old chief was placed in sitting pos
ture.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

Old Lady Plymouth Rock is not go
ing to do her best, unless you give
her the same kind of care that the
Jersey gets.
''The egg supply can be kept up in
cold weather by furnishing spring con-
ditions," says the head of the poultry
department Of prominent agricul-
tural college.
"These conditions include the fac
tors of housing and feeding. The
house for the chickens should be
roomy, and furnish plenty of fresh
air without drafts. Meat scraps Or
milk should be fed to take the place
of bugs and worms which are so easi-
ly found in the summer. Sprouted
oats can take the place of grass and
other green feeds. Grains should be
scattered in straw so that the chick
ems will get plenty of exercise. Either
sweet or sour milk can be fed, but
it is not best to change from one to
the other"
One Of the important things to con-
slider in winter egg production is the
early hatch, the same authority be-
lieves. The Plymouth Rocks, Rhode
Island reds, Wyandottes, and all of the
birds of the American breed should
be hatched by the first of April, and
Leghorns not later than May first, he
says.
Wheat or oats straw is good for
nests, and also the floor of the house.

To Build Home CheapIy,
Construct From Material
to Be Had on the Site

The way to own a home at mini
terial already on the site-earth, for
instance.
The requisite earth may be had for
the digging, and there is nothing to
pay for transportation. In England this
idea is being taken up, with the eXpec-
tatiOn that the building of rammed
earth dwelling houses on an extensive
scale will help Importantly to solve the
housing problem, bricks being scarce
and expensive.
many such buildings that date actually
from prehistoric times. In parts OF
France and Spain this simplest OF all
methods of house construction has
long been practiced, and recently 1T
has been adopted with great success
in South Africa and other British col
onieS.
Planks are set up on edge to form
mold, and the space between is filled
with earth, which is then rammed as
tight as possible. The ramming, Of
course, can be done much more advan-
tageously and cheaply by machine; !;
likewise the digging.
If the subsoil be clay, the latter,
mixed with straw and ''puddled," fur
nishes first class material, utilizable
in the same way This is what is
called in England "cob building" The
birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh was
a cob house, and it is in as good con-

Anhinga Plant in BraziI's
Rivers Used to Make Paper

In the soft beds of mud that line so
many of Brazil's sluggish rivers, the
plant anhinga grows so profusely that
an estimated total of 100000 tons
could be exported annually. The
anhinga is now known as the raw
material from which cellulOse is OBJ
tanned for the manufacture of linen
paper; but recent experiments show
that the fibers may be transformed
chemically into an artificial cotton
fiber, of structure even superior to
that of the genuine article. One mill
is now busy with this new work, while
efforts are being made to adapt aban-
doned sugar mills to the process.

Upraised Arm and Open Palm
Meant Soldier Had No Dagger

The military salute so familiar to
every soldier and scout dates back to
very early days, notes Boys Life. At
first it was not intended in the least
to show respect to superiors. The up
raised arm with the open palm ex-
tended was meant merely to show that
the soldier did not carry a dagger In
his hand and could not attack If he
wanted to. All even more remarkable
change has come in the meaning Of
the custom of retiring backward from
the presence of royalty. In very early
times men backed away from king
to protect themselves from being
kicked.
