TEE PHILIPPINES IN WAR AND IN PEACE. | Luzon Method of Salt Making. John T. MeCuteheon, Philippine cor respondent of the Chicago Record, writes as follows: It is very difficult, oven here in Manila, to get a compre hensive idea of"the situation in the Philippines." The most we know is that our troops are scattered over every province in Luzon, as well as in the chief cities of the other islands, stnd that in Luzon alone there are •JlO separate garrisons holding cities ;ind villages and strategic points in the twenty-seven provinces of the Isl and. The Filipino method of warfare has changed from their old, defiant meth ods to a new and more insidious one, that is as much If not more to be feared. Long before Tarlac was taken Ag tiinaldo realized that l»is troops could not stand against ours, riven a force numerically much stronger could be <lrlven at will by comparatively small American forces. This was where dis cipline, morale and esprit ilu corps combined to make the smaller force vastly superior to the larger one, be cause the latter lacked these elements. Soon after this discovery, which he seems to have been long In making, lie heard that the United States was going to increase the Philippine army to about 05,000, a force that could snuiliilate him if ho contested its ad vance or will, lie then issued, along In October, a proclamation advising many of his followers to return to their homes, hide their rifles and await ri call at some future time. Others <if his followers were held tinder arms jind directed to begin a guerilla war fare in the territory held by the Amer icans at that time, or to be held by them later 011. That proclamation, which was un doubtedly forced by tlie vigorous cam paign inaugurated at the time by (Jen orals Mac Arthur, Lawtou, Wheat.on nud Young, marked the end of organ ized resistance 011 a large scale. It will be remembered that Tarlac was taken without a t*hot. and that our troops occupied in turn all the prov inces of the north with fewer than a dozen fights of any consequence. From that time on it became a foot race after the demoralized bands that were leaving the Tarlac lowlands. There was no established capital. 110 machin ery of government. 110 grand army and half the cabinet surrendered or were captured. Officially the revolution was crushed, SPANISH FILIPINO MESTtZ V Gir.LS. but General Conecpelon, Aguinaldo's chief of staff, uttered a dissenting opinion which, as since proved, was prophetic. "You think it is over, but it isn't. You have now disrupted the army and scattered it far and wide. You have tsome of the leaders in prison and your iroops occupy the whole north coun try. But hoi* many rifles have you captured? \\ lien you've got the arms, "hen and only then, will the revolution be over." They have a curious custom at the Filipino balls. All the girls sit in a row on one side of the room and all the men on the other. When a man wants to dance lie goes over across the dead line, selects his girl, and, af ter dancing, delivers her back to her chair, lie returns to his own side. Then* is no chance for any flirtation. The Filipino girls are not flirtatious. On great occasions they always seem to IK- overwhelmed with n sense of rigid propriety. There are no soft Urowu eyes coyly glancing, or little hands gently pressing. When .Miss Filipino treads tin- stately national quadrille or whirls lightly to the stir ring ni« nsures of a nulckplayed wait/, she dedicates her thoughts and soul v> grace ami symmetry and completely forgets those dainty little coi|iietiles which every maiden I* entitled by an dent decrc to Use. i " "'"T . r* • fW£ 4HVi.Ui, hl'l.L' A 111 litl'Ki.Alio, lit I Uo.ttf hUIUU.Ut.V or I'MK IHItKU uTATfc*.

In this way they become practically self-feed ing salt-machines of an exceedingly novel character though the output of salt per diem from each bed is very small. The naiive music of the Philippine Islanders,according to Harper's "A'eek ly. is rendered almost exclusively on home-made instruments.

Education is seldom the controlling factor in success. What! Must we belittle education after all our furore about the value of education? By nc means. The secret of success is a man's disposition. The man who if willing to and able to take responsi bilities will beat him who is uuwllliug or unable. The man who has the dis position to lift the burden of trivial matters from his superior's consider ution is the man who will be looked for when promotions are to lie made The question is not.

Below Is a sketch of the Hamilton pocket filter, after the name of the patentee, says the London Mail. The Bushmen's Corps, of whom every man was a specially selected voluuteer, trained to all the hardships ot' Aus tralian up-country life, was supplied With 500 of these little filters. Lending medical authorities of Aus tralia, where the evils of drinking bad water and the difficulty of obtaining soood are most apparent, pronounce this to lie the best filter known to them. Inside the flat white metal box a carbon disc that has been chemically treated is fixed. By an ingenious ar rangement tills can at any time be removed and boiled, when it is again ready as a preventive of such awful scourges among soldiers—enteric and dysentery. As witness of its value, it may be noted that not a single man in the Bushmen's Corps is reported to have died of disease while in South Africa. The long tube is for insertion in the receptacle containing the water, while N E T ft P L n „ G I " t S (O|i O COFY : POCKET RN.TKIT FOR SOLDIERS. ; to the shorter tube may be attached i a flexible pipe through which the pur -1 Itteil liquid may be drawn. The great advantages of the Hamil ton filter are its shape and lightness. In aluminum the entire thing could be made to weigh less than two ounces.

A woman who is a victim of the big shoe habit says that when sne took a trip West a few weeks ago ' she wore her "comfortable," heavy soled. rubber-heeled calfskins. In the sleeping car she gave orders to the porter to black them. As her berth was the first one from the little chicken-coop place in which the porter attends to bis odd jobs, she had no dif ficulty in overhearing a little conver sation that took place between him and two of the men passengers. "They calls 'em gulf shoes, don't tlieyV" the porter remarked. "I guess so," replied one of the men. They're just strong-minded shoes. Tho I women are getting sensible. High ' time, too." j "Looklak theytuade out o' cowhide." the porter commented. "I.awd. look til them soles: 'bout four inches thick." ".Must be tt mighty big woman." put in the other passenger.

C. —In this discourse Dr. Tnlmage who, during his ' journey homeward hss yceu much of royal and im | perial splendors, in passing through the I capitals of Kurope. shows that there is no I higher dignity nor more illustrious station than those which the Ciiristian has as a : child of Cod; text, Judges viii, IS: "Kadi i one rcsembeld the children of a king." Zebali and Zalmuuna had been ofT to I battle, and when they came back they I were asked what kind of people thev had | seen. Th' - answered that the people had ! a royal appearance: "each one resembled the children of a king." That description of people is ii.it extinct. There are still many who have this appearance. Indeed, they ai-p the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty. Though now in exile, j they shall vet coinc to their thrones. There are family names that stand for I wealth, or patriotism, or intelligence. The | name of Washington among us will al ways renresent patriotism. The fanlily of the Medici stood as the representative | of letters. Th" family of the Rothschilds | is significant of wealth, the loss of $40,- j 000,000 in 1848 putting them to no iueon | venience, and within a few years they ! have loaned Russia $12,000,000; Naples, ; $25,000,000; Austria, $10,000,000, and Eng ] land, $200,000,000. and the stroke of their : pen on the counting room desk shakes i everything from the Irish .Sea to the Dan ube. Thev open their hand, and there is war; they shut it and there is peace. The Romanoffs of Russia, the Hohenzol lerns of Germany, the Bourbons of France, the Stuarts and (iuelphs of Great Britain are houses whose names are inter twined with the history of their respective nations symbolic of imperial authority. But I preach of a family more potential, ' more rich and more extensive—the royal i house of Jesus, of whom the whole family ! in heaven and on earth is named. We are ! blood relations by the relationship of the : cross; all of us urc the children of the j King. First, I speak of our family name. When i we see a descendant of some one greatly | celebrated in ilie last century, we look at j him with profound interest. To have had ] conquerors, kings or princes in the ances tral line gives lustre to the family name. I In our line was a King and Conqueror, j The Star in the East with baton of light | woke up the eternal orchestra that made I music at His birth. From thence lie ■ started forth to conriuer all nations, not by trampling theni down, but by lifting i them up. St. John saw llim on a white horse. When lie returns lie will not j bring the nations chained to His wheel or i in iron cages, but 1 hear the stroke of the j hoofs of the snow-white cavalcade that brings them to the gates in triumph. J Our family name takes lustre lroni the ! star that heralded Him, and the spear that ! pierced Him. and the crown that was given llim. It gathers fragrance from the I frankincense brought to His cradle, and the lilies that ilung their sweetness into i llis sermons, and the box of alabaster thai i broke at llis feet. The Comforter at I Bethany. The Resurrector at Xain. The ■ supernatural Oculist at Bethsaida. The Saviour of one world, and the chief joy of another. The storm llis frown. The sun light His smile. The spring morning His breath. The earthquake the stamp of His foot. The thunder the whisper of His voice. The ocean a drop on the tip of His i linger. Heaven a sparkle on the bosom ;of llis love. Eternity the twinkling ol j His eve. The universe the flying dust of « His chariot wheels. Able to heal a heart break or hush a tempest, or drown a . world, or Hood immensity with llis glory. What other family name could ever boast | of such an illustrious personage? Henceforth, swing out the coat of arms! Great famines wear their coat of arms on the dress, or on the door of the coach, or on the helmet when they go out to battle, \or on flags and ensigns. The heraldic sign is sometimes a lion, or a dragon, or 1 an eagle. Our coat of arms worn right l over the heart hereafter shall be a cross, j a lamb standing under it, and a dove flying over it. Grandest of all cs- I cuteheons! .Most significant of all family escutcheons! In every battle I must have jit blazing on my flag—the dove, the cross, the lamb, and when I fall, wrap me in that good old Christian Hag, so that the I family coat of arms shall be right over my breast, that all the world may see that | I looked to the Dove of the Spirit and clung to the Ci rss. and depended upon the Lamb ol God, which takcth away the i eiu ot the world. I Ashamed of Jesus, that dear friend, I On whom my hopes of life depend; I No! When 1 blush, be this my shame I That I no more revere His name. | Next, 1 speak of the family sorrows. If •trouble come to one member of the family I all feel it. It is the custom, after the j body is lowered into the grave, for all the ' relatives to come to the verge of the grave j and look down into it. First those near est the deputed come, then those next of ! Lin. until they have all looked into the ; grave. So, when trouble and grief go i down through the heart of one member 1 ot the family, they go down through i them all. The tfidness of one is the sad- I iicss of all. A company ot persons join , hands arouid an electric battery; the ! two persons at the ends of the line touch 1 the battery and all the lircle feels the , tihock. Thus, by t■•asm of the filial, ma ternal t,nd paternal relations of life, we stand so clo.-o together that when trouble sets its ha'tcry, all 1- el the thrill of dis tress. In the great Christian family th • ' to.row ot one .aiglit to be the sorrow of all. Is one persecuted? All are p rse euted. Docs uiii' sutler hiss"' We ail suf fer loss. Is oae bereaved? We are all be reaved . Tlici. 1 straining eves together flow Kor human guilt an 1 natal woe.

Ours the grandeur of til" spring, the crystals of the snow, the coral of the beach, the odors of the garden, the harmonies of the air. Von cann it see a larse estate in one morning. You must take several wa'ks around it. The family property of this royal house of Jesus is so great that we must, take several walks to get anv idea of its extent. Let the first walk be around this earth. All these vallevs, the harvests that wave in them, and the cat tle that pasture them—all these mount ains. and the precious things hidden be neath them, and the crown of glacier they cast at the feet of the alpine hurricane all these lakes, these islands, these conti nents, are ours. In the second walk go among the street lamps of heaven, and see stretching off on every side a wilder ness of worlds. For us they shine. For us they sang at a Saviour's nativity. For lis thev will wheel into line, and with their llaming torches add to the splendor of our triumph on the day for which all other days were made. In the third walk, go around the eternal city. As we come near it, hark to the rush of its chariots and the wedding peal of its great towers. Tlie bell of heaven has struck 12. It is high noon. We look off upon the chap lels w hieh never fade, the eyes that never weep, the temples that never close, the loved ones that never part, the procession that never halts, the trees that never wither, the walls that never can be cap tured. the sun that never sets, until we can no longer gaze, and we hide our eyes and exclaim: '"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man.the things which God hath pre pared for them that love Him!" As these tides of glory rise we have to retreat and hold fast lest we be swept off and drowned in the emotions of gladness and thanksgiv ing and triumph. Almost every family looks back to a homestead some country place where you grew up. Vou sat on the doorsill. l'ou heard the footsteps of the rain on the garret roof. You swung on the gate. You ransacked the barn. You waded into the brook. Vou thrashed the orchard for apples, and the neighboring woods for nuts, and everything around the old homestead is of interest to you. 1 tell you of the old homestead of eternity. "In My Father's house are many mansions." When we talk of mansions we think of Chatsworth and its park, nine miles in circumference, and its conservatory that astonishes the world; its galleri's of art, that contain the triumphs of Chantrey, Canova and Thorwaldsen; of the kings and the queens who have walked its state ly halls, or, (lying over the heather, have hunted the grouse. But all the dwelling places of dukes and princes and queens are as nothing to the family mansion that is already awaiting our arrival. The hand of the Lord Jesus lifted the pillars and swung the doors, an t planted the parks. Angels walk there, and the good of all ages. The poorest man in that house is a millionaire, and the lowliest a king, and the tamest word he speaks is an anthem, and the shortest life an eternity. It took a Paxton to build for Chats worth a covering for the wonderful flower Victoria regia, five feet in diameter. But our lily of the valley shall need no shelter from the blast, and in the open gardens of Uod shall put forth its full bloom, anil all heaven shall come to look at it.and its aroma shall he as though the cherubim had swung oefore the throne a thousand censors. I have not seen it yet. 1 am in | a foreign land. But my. Father is waiting for ine to come home. 1 have brothers and sisters there. In the Bible I have let ters from there, telling ine what a fine place it is. It matters not much to me whether 1 am rich or poor, or whether t'.ie world hates me or loves me. or \\ het her I go by land or by sea. if only 1 may lift my iyes at last on the family mansion. It. is not a frail house, built in a month, soon to crumble, but an old mansion, which i.s as tirm as the day it was built. Its walls are covered with the ivy of many ages, and the urns at the gateway are a-bloom with the century plants of eternity. The (Jueen of Sheba hath walked its hall, and Ksthcr, and Marie Antoinette and Lady Huntingdon and Cecil, and Jeremy Tavlor, aud Samuel Rutherford and John Milton, and the widow who gave two mites, and the poor men from the hospital—these last two perhaps outshining all the kiugs and querns of eternity. What clasping of hands! What embrac ing*! What coming together of lip to lip! What tears of joy! )nu say, "1 thought there were no tears in heaven." There j must be. for the Bible says that "God shall wipe them away," and if there were no tea; there, how could He wipe them awi.y? Tiny cannot be tears of grief or tears of disappointment.
