THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. i mi mi' Most Vicious of Savages Are , Philippine Moros. FUTURE CITIZENS-MAY BE Defy Civilization. Annual Human Sacrifice In October When Thirty 8lave art Roasted Alive. Bloodthirsty cannibals who offer up kcman sacrifices once a year are tho Lanao Moron, who form a village on the Philippine conccHHlon at the Wonld's Fair. They are the moBt sav X" of the savages, and even at the fair are carefully watched to prevent them from murdering anybody. The Lanao Moros are eaters of h il eus a flesh, and after a battle they en Joy a barbaric feast of the human brings they have slain or the pris oners they have captured. In their belt leg rather than be captured and roasted alive their enemies will kill themselves. From about October 2 to 12 of every year they have their annual human sacrifice, as did the Aztecs of Cortez's Ur. Between these days each Sultan f whom there are thirty, sends a cl.ive to the feast. The Moros build fountain-shaped pyramid of rocks, voder which Is a fire. When the rocks are heated to a white heat the slaves are bound and thrown upon the burn ing stones, where they are roasted. When life Is extinct and It Is con sidered by the Moro chef that they are properly roasted, tho bodies are taken out on bamboo sticks and then the savRges thrust Into tho parched Vidles Individual sticks of bamboo and the feast begins. They are the only cannibals of the present day In the Philippines, and Respite the efforts of the War Depart ment, still offer up human sacrifices and eat of human flesh. Desperate Torts have been mndu to abolish thse barbaric feasts, but to no avail, and already C. H. Wax, In charge of these savages at the World's Fair, 1a planning what he'll do when Octo ber 2 comes around and his barbar ians demand their annual human-blood meal. Of all the savages In the Philippines tltese Lanao Moros are the most vid eos and bloodthirsty. They require watching every minute of the day and treat care Is exercised to see that visitors are properly warned of tholr 4ftugrr when around them. "These fellows are the wildest and Most savage people on the face of the K'obe to-day." said Mr. Wax, who was private secretary to Governor Ballard, nd who talks their language like a ative. "I saw one of their human sacrifices and It was the bloodiest and most awe-Inspiring sight I ever mu-K, and I trust that I shall never -witness another. The slaves sent In Iry the Sultans are fattened for the fuast as we fatten cattle In the States for slaughter In the stock yards. This tinman offering has been handed down since the beginning of time, and the Spaniards made dpsperate efforts to break It up, but unsuccessfully. "The United States soldiers have tried, too, to break up the slaughter r the slaves, but to no avail, for It osltlvely cannot be prohibited. At these barbaric feasts some 100,000 Moros gather, so you see that It is utterly out of the question for the army to prohibit them. "Human life counts for positively nothing among these Lanao Moros. Hurler 1b so common as to attract no attention. The Sultan has the power wT life or death, and so have the dat tos, and anybody they want killed tby simply order him killed. Among the natives they slaughter their ene ties. The only way to doal with Item Is by their own way that Is, kUl them. To Imprison them Is worse tli in useless. 1 am carefully guarding the publics ajwlnst them, so that I don't believe Uere Is any danger, but as the most ravage of the savages of the worlff they are naturally a curiosity." A New Carnegie 8tory. Business rivals of Andrew Carnegie were at one time helpless to account for his ability to undersell them in whatever market they turned to. They eot experts quietly to look over his work and report. Mr. Carnegie, it la aid, heard of their presence. He In tiled them to an inspection with him self as guide, and at last offered to show them the secret of his success. ; He took them Into a room lined with books and reports, where a dozen ' clerks were at work on documents and Sgures. This room represented an ei- iwnditure of $80,000 a year. "It is worth that," said Mr. Car aegle, "for a business man to know at any moment all the details of his baslness." World's Work. Inventor of lea Cream. A French chef who prepared a snow Site dish for the Due de Chartres In 1174 to said to have been the first to' make that cool luxury known as ica cream. Lord Bacon was possessed of the knowledge'that there was a pro nes of congealatlon by means ot snow and salt; but to him this was ai scientific fact, and he little dreamed af the Idea that In after years this congealatlon would prove such a de lightful refreshment. Iced drinks and water ices were known to the Par Islan epicures fully a century and a alf before they were Introduced Into Jfngland. Those dainties, It Is thought, probably came from the Far East by means of gomo traveler, who probably tasted sherbet. We suppose even a moth has a mother. NAMING PORT ARTHUR. Named After Commander of Firs! Ship In Harbor. Probably few know why Port Ar thur, where so much of the dramatlo aspect of the Russo-Japanese war has had Its setting, Is so called. It was named on June 20, I860, after Lieut. Arthur, of the English navy. Lieut. Fllllam Arthur wan In com mand of a little gunboat, the Algerlne, attached to a surveying expedition of tho navy, which was being carried on preliminary to the landing made by the French and English In August, 1860. Lieut. Arthur was not by any means In command of the expedition, nor even In command of tho flagship, which was the Acteon, which was called the "Noah's ark" of the period by the officers of the English navy. She was almost helpless and was towed from place to place by one of the smaller vessels of the expedition. While the Algerlne was towing, the entrance to Port Arthur was made. LIEUT. WILLIAM ARTHUR. The fact that he was towing the Ac teon gave Lieut. Arthur the honor, for lie did in fact command the first ship to enter. The work done by the vessels of this llttlo expedition In surveying the har bors, coast and the Chinese fortiflcar lions made possible the disembark ation of the whole force of the allies In August, 1800, without the loss of a man. Tho first chart of Pigeon bay, where the Acteon made her first anchorage In this vicinity, was drawn by William Blakoney, paymasier-in-cu'ief of tho English navy. He was then In the Acteon and took part In all this sur vey work, whose Importance, little understood at tho time, has since, been shown to be so tremendous. Airships and the Tariff. As already announced, the collec tor at New York Is holding up a San-tos-Dumont alrtihlp as dutiable. Here again the question of classification conies In. Evidently the Dlngley tar iff has nothing to say about airships, and this creature of tho air may be one thing at one time and another thing at another, according to circum stances. Last year It was a piece of scientific apparatus, and was admitted free; but this year It Is a revenue hunter, and if It escapes duty It must be as theatrical property, which the owner must remove from the country within six months. The situation Is not particularly formidable as yet. The flying machine has not reached a point of Independence and develop ment where It is sufficient unto Itself. It can be corralled and captured and brought to terms. It can be called a scientific machine, a theatrical prop erty or, even a bird, and it has no redress. But the clumsy, faltering and floun dering airship of to-day Is supposed to be the prophecy of stately aerial argosies that In the fullness of time shall float upon the ether as the grey hounds of the ocean float upon the sea, and they will lay their course any where In atmospheric space according to the pleasure of their human direc tors. Then will come the despair of custom house officers. Not the ships alone, but their contents can be land ed In any wilderness that may be se lected. Boston Transcript. Youth, Dress and Economy. Economy Is the first element of success. No young man needs three or four suits of clothes. Two are enough. The only thought a young man needs to spend on his wardrobe is to look out for bargains and get all of his clothes hats, suits, underwear, shoes, etc. at the lowest price. Their ridiculous dress more than 'anything else proves that our boys need some one to keep them in check. Every young man should watch the clothing market as closely as a suc cessful Wall street . broker watches the stock market. Let him be on the lookout for bargains, and he is foster ing a business trait which augurg well for his success. The boy who trains himself to look out for bargalna In wearing apparel will know how to get bargains la stocks If he ever goes into Wall street trading. But the' young man who pays four times more than their InMnslo value for colored neckties and polka-dot socks Just because he thinks they will look pretty had better keep away from business. Russell Sage. Her beautiful white arms were very much In evidence at the dinner table when she turned to the young man at lee sHd and remarked: "I f m bnlng tortured! I was vaccin ated last week and it Is just taking." "Why," he exclaimed la surprise, "I don't see any evidence of it. Where were you vaccinated?" ' "In Boston," was the smiling reply. i H & $ Jb 11 1 Theatres and Concert Halls For Factory Employees. , SCHOOLS AND NURSERY I Many Polnta for Us to Learn From Movements of Industrial Improve ment In Russia. ' It will surprise many readers to learn that there are points In the so cial and Industrial welfare movement for which democratic America may look up to autocratic Russia. That such Is the case Dr. William II. Tol man, head of the American Institute of Social Service, Indicates In his leading article In the May number of the Institute's official publication, So cial Service. For Instance, at Popoff's factory, not far from Moscow, there Is a popular theatre with accommodations for some 700. The plays are given from 7 to 10 o'clock In the evening of fete days In summer and winter. There Is no stock company, tho roles being filled by tho clerks and workmen. Each play costs ordinarily $14.50, but the admission is free. The company chooses the plays, and those found to be most preferred are by two Russian authors, while Mollere comes third. In addition to the theatricals, readings are given In the same building every Sunday evening from 6 to 8 o'clock from works approved by the Minister of Public Instruction. Musical evenings are also furnished by an orchestra and a chorus com posed exclusively of the workmen In the factory. A tea-room was opened In 1893 which contains an organ, a stereoscope, a billiard table and other games; also papers and magazines selected from a special catalogue of books permitted to be read by the peo ple. Admission to the room Is free, not only for the workmen but others. At the Norsky Manufactory another of Russia's Industrial welfare move ments Is to be studied. Readings are to be given each Sunday from October to Easter. Each session Is divided Into two parts, the first concerned, with religious or moral works; the second, classic Works. ' The space of three years Is allotted to Russian his xory, with illustration of notable events by means of lantern slides. Still further example of Russian progress In this direction Is to be seen at another factory, where lec tures are given every Sunday and fete day by religious teachers or tech nical engineers. Vladimir F. Gnesln writes for the same number of Social Service con cerning the great Jaroslaw Mills in Russia, founded under Peter the Great. Besides social welfare arrange ments such as Dr. Tolman describes, tho company running those mills pro vides a nursery for the care of In fants whose mothers are obliged to go out to work. For children of five to ten years there Is a kindergarten, attended dally by about seven hun dred boys and girls and for still older children of employees there are sev eral schools In which physical culture and, for the girls, needlework are taught, besides the usual school sub jects. A society founded in 1897 In St. Petersburg was the first attempt in Russia to aid girls of the working classes In tholr hard struggle for life. The activity of this society mani fests Itself particularly In Sunday as semblies, which give young women the possibility of passing their time on this day profitably, sensibly and agreeably. Moral instruction is given by a priest and there are simple lec tures on history, geography, hygiene and art, the talks being always illus trated with lantern pictures. The society has established two boarding-houses, one receiving some forty girls and the other about a hun dred. On the payment of $2.50 a month the working girl may have a bed in a dormitory, a little wardrobe, with the privilege of the parlor and a commodious kitchen, with cooking utensils.

Louis 8tamps. The Louisiana Purchase stamps are very beautiful, though not, aocordlng to some of the best Judges, of quite so distinctive a oharacter as the Col umbian!, Omaha or Buffalo issues. No country in the world approaches the United States In stamp-making. One of the chiefs la the Bureau of Engrav ing and Printing says that all the sheets of this "osmmeaioratlve series of 1904" were mloronooploally exam ined after coming off!" aud If even a pin point of a flaw or blemish was dlsoeverad the sheet was at once burned up, heluu bolus. The same care is observed in making our com mon, everyday adheslves. 1 in FOUR-FOOTED BAROMETERS. Also Bipeds Who Can Tell to a Nicety When Showers Are Going to Fall. The best barometer in our office happens to be a member of the staff, says London "Answers." We can al ways tell what the weather is going to be like when he Is about. Rain on the morrow gives him a severe head ache to-day. . To-day ho may be calm and the sun shining, making every one happy and Joyous, and if our colleague gives vent to his animal spirits and Joins in the merriment with the rest of the world, we know that the pleasant weather, with Its calm and sunshine, will be repeatod to-morrow. But If he be depressed and afflicted with a violent nervous headache, that Is a sign for all the members of the staff to come down to the office the following day provided with umbrel las, galoshes and rain-proof coats. It Is going to rain and It Invariably pours. There are few better Informed mete orological experts than a fox terrier or an Aberdeen collie. Both smell the rain and storm which are yet far off. The collie, when a storm Is In the air, becomes seml-stupld and very sleepy, refuses his food and gets bad tempered; but when the rain falls the dog becomes his old self again. A terrier reveals the secret of com ing rain by scratching holes In the earth and howling when any of his human friends go out, and he sleeps restlessly. Pussy takes things more calmly and more philosophically. Few cats like remaining Indoors when fine weather Is prolonged, but the feline Instinct In the matter of knowing when it Is going to rain Is so very acute that pussy prepares for a stay Indoors some hours before the rain comes. Watch her antics. She will curl herself Into a ball on the hearthrug and will probably place one paw be hind her ear. Now she sits up lazily and commences to wash her fnce. Her fur Is dull looking and she holds her head down. The coming rain in fluences even the nervous system of a cat. Robins excitedly announce a coming change In tho weather from fair to rain, or vice versa, from the tops of trees. Like the sparrow which chirps Incessantly, the robin twitters fran tically. Other birds bespeak every notification on the dial of a barometer, and thoso who follow the habits of the denizens of the feathered kingdom oan read the signs with ease. Sailors, for Instance, study the sea gull. The latter makes a splendid living barometer. If a covey of Bea-, gulls fly ceaward early In the morn ing, sailors and fishermen know that the day will be fine and the wind fair; but if the birds keep Inland though there be no haze hanging out toward the sea to denote unpleasant weather Interested folk know that the elements will be unfavorable. Of all weather fish, the dolphin Is the most remarkable. During a fierce gale or storm at sfa the mariner knows that the end Is near if he can see a dolphin or a number of that fish, sporting on the high sea waves, Geronimo. The greatest war chief the Apaches ever had, considered as ranking above any Indian chief in the coun try's history, not excepting Sitting Bull. He Is now a government pris oner at Fort Sill, I. T. When the Body Loses Height. "What are the proportions of the Ideal human body?" The vexed ques tion has never been answered conclu sively. A corollary of It Is this: "What are the proportions of the average healthy man or woman as we find them?" Not even to this has a reply been given. However, we are approaching It. Scientists have made myriads of measurements of the stature of man, and some of them are quoted by Fleet Surgeon Williams in the annual re port on the health of the navy, Just Issued. To begin with, the boy when born is about half an incher taller than the girl. This difference Is maintained till near the age of 13, when, In this country and America, tho average girl Is taller and heavier than the boy. This halting, so to speak, on the part of the male is speedily recovered, and he again outruns the female In size. At the period of full development the man's average height compared with the woman's average Is as 10 to 15. Both men and women maintain their maximum height till the age of E0 years, when they begin to grow Bhorter, until at 90 they have lost three inches. The reason for this dwindling is at tributed to the sinking of the soft parts between the bones and to tho stoop gradually acquired by old peo ple. London Leader. THOUSAND MUBI0IAN3 Will Render "Onward Christian Soldiers' at Wllliamipori. One of the features of the parade during the Knights Templar con dive at VVilliamsport, May 23, wilt be the formation of massed bands. Kvcry player engaged in the different bands about thirty five in number which will partici pate in the parade, will be assigned to their proper places in this forma tion. There will be probably over r.ioo musicians in the mass. After the formation has been com pleted, on Market, between Third and Fourth streets, at the conclu sion of the parade, the mammoth band will march up Third street and will play "Religioso " a fam ous inarch, in which "Ouwatd Christian Soldiers" and "Adeste Kideles," are introduced. Kach bandmaster is now being notified to provide himself with a copy of this march. Lyman J. Fisk, the noted Wil liamspott musical director, will have the bands in charge. Several assistants will also help in getting the bands into formation. The formation will face Third street and will be led by a row of cornetists extending the entire width of the street and as close to gether as they can conveniently stand. The remaining instrumen tation will be arranged likewise. The massed bands will be the greatest attraction of the conclave to the general public. That was a genius, also an edi tor of an interior Pennsylvania newspaper, who in reply to a cor respondent who asked whether he would accept his pav for subscrip tion in chickens, said: "Yes and wood and meal, meat and com, and potatoes and peaches, and Billey goats and pigs, and horses, and hay, and land, and mules and cows, and calves and rabbits, and wheat, and turnips, ' and any old thing you've got. We have on rare occasions even taken money on sub scription. An eastern scientist is trying to find out why men are baldheaded. Anybody can answer that question.
