Information On The Philippines

There is mo uni.hebited island in
the Philippine group. There are
several islands that lie adjacent to
the larger ones, and are visited daily
by people from the mainlands to till
the soil, cut hemp, gather copra, etc.
When the islands were purchased
following the Spanish American
War two small islands. that lay
between the island of Jolo (Sulu)
and British North Borneo (Sanda-
kanl, were not included in the
treaty, but a separate treaty was
signed and an additional purchase

Why Librarian LAUGHED

AS a librarian of many years

humors Of my calling. Recently a
young woman asked me for a book by
Rider Haggard with a title like q

authors "Ayesha" she confessed that

Another gem came from a youth

''Set Down In Malice!"
High links of the Mind" was the
curious title quoted by q recent IN

the name of the book was really
Hygiene Of the Mind and this
proved to be the case. Another MIX
up in titles resulted In Sacred AMI

Horses tails have been subjected
to curious changes OF fashion. In
the time Of the Stuarts the English
coach horses tail was worn long
and flowing, and was cut square
II was adorned with ribbons on gala
days, and strapped up in a leather
case in Winter weather: thus GER
tain harmony was preserved be-
tween the wig of the master and the
tail of his horse.
BY the time Of George II a short
wig and a pigtail had taken the
place of the flowing curIs In which,

rakes of Charles IFS court delight

The brilliant idea occurred to
Lord Cadogan, a cavalry officer OF
that period, to reduce the tails OF
his dragon horses to a short dock,
Possibly this was done with the
view Of saving his soldiers the
trouble Of cleaning those long tails
and avoiding the nuisance OF the
splashes uniforms and accountre-
ments must have received from
such hair streamers.
The next step was to turn bob
tails into plugtails by cutting all
the hair from the last two or three
inches of the dock. Having thus
succeeded in disfiguring the hind
quarters OF dragon horses. some
individual devised the additional
barbarity Of cropping their ears

Day." termed the first Of its kind in
the country, at the Federal Lakes
! States Forest Station here Tuesday,
July 20.
Agricultural and forestry leaders,
both national and state, refer to this
occasion as the first definite step to
have forestry installed as a perma
nent fixture in the working program
OF farmers.
DR.. Raphael Zon Of st. Paul, super :
visor of the station, said that other
sections Of the country have express
ed great interest and that IL the plan
is successful. it may be adopted else
where.
The value of timber crop to the
farmer will be explained, the farmer
win be shown the ready market for
ANY and all sizes Of most all kinds

To encourage this plan the federal
station here will offer to furnish the
farmers free Of charge supplies Of
young trees. DR.. Zon said that where
possible transportation will be pro-
vided and the planting of the trees
supervised by experienced forestry
men.

Strap Hanging A. An Art

AS a part of the educational cam
paign that seems to be in progress
with relation to street car affairs IL
might not be amiss IL a course In
strap hanging could be given for the
benefit of that portion of the patrons
who must so hang. In the first place
there should be a standard strap. On
some of the lines. the cars are equip
ped with so called sanitary strap
covers. These are white and are
fashioned Of celluloid. In severe
weather they are cold and repelling.
On lines where the cars rock and roll
because of poor tracks these straps
hang against the sides noisily. A
new leather strap has sharp edges
that cut the palm Of the hand and
the fingers. Hanging from one Of
these is a double misfortune.
The comfortable strap is one Of
travel stained leather: one that has
been held by many hands: one that
fits the hand like a we1l-worR glove.
Assuming that strap IL available
there is right and wrong way Of
using it. Many people crowd into a
car, grasp strap and face the front
or rear. This results in their being
thrown forward or backward every
time the car starts and stops. They
tug at thf strap and swing about,
much as "a side Of bacon-hanging
