35EXafACT3 brought out
by recent investi
gators prove that
the Chinaman
forms an almost iu
dispensable ele
ment in the life of
the Philippines. I
ain not wholly sure
that it would bo a
wild statement to
say that develop
ment in the islands
is impossible with
ont the patient,
industrious Chinaman,
submissive,
writes an American correspondent
from Manila.
The history of these people in tho
Philippines is a long tale of a tena
cious struggle against opposing con
ditions. No one knows just when
thoso relations first began. Chinese
trade with the somi-barbarous abor
igines probably very greatly antedates
Spanish disoovery and settlement.
Their position 111 tho islands lias al
ways been a peculiar one. They have
been tolerated rather than encouraged,
because of a uiauifost necessity for
their presence. They have ne,vor boen
really welcome, uovor popular, always
regarded as a tiling apnrt, a sort oi
necessary evil. Again and again thoir
total expulsion has been considered,
and about tho middle of tho eighteenth
centnry it was actually ordered, bnt
the order was suppressed. The com
plaint brought against tho Chinaman
in the Philippines is tho samo as that
too often heard in the States. lie does
not form or become an integral part
f the social and political organism.
He is a kiud of commercial parasite,
or leech. Ho goes to another coun
try thuu his own simply to make what
monoy he cau out of that country, and
then return to his own land. Ho will
work cheaply and sell for a narrow
margin. His patient industry, his
economy and ttirift, mo oileusivo
ruther than otherwise to the indolent
and improvident native. The Filipino
would not do the work that John docs,
but ho clings to an i lea that John is
his industrial competitor, and, by
working at a cheaper rate, is taking
the bread out of his month. As n con
sequence, Johu is not approved.
Throughout tho islands tho China
man is the general trader. His shop
is seldom much larger than n dry-
goods box, but ho crams a lot of mer
chandise into it. In mauy sections
ho is tho middlo man betweou tho
producer and tho English or Eu
ropean trading house. He buys hemp,
copra, aud other products iu small
lots, often takes thorn iu trade by
baiter fr.r his wares. He stores his
hemp until ho has a halo or two,
which he may soil direct to tho ex
porter or turn over to a compatriot
who deals on a little larger scale than
himself. His general transactions aro
on a small scale, though here aud
there oue finds a Chinaman of very
extensive trade relations and large in
come. Huoh men, as a rule, are the
gatherers of tho small lots picked up
by their fellow-oouulrymou. Tho
Chinese pack-peddler has also been a
feature in island life, aud many of
them have lost both life and pack at
the hands of those with whom they
sought trade iu outlying and isolated
sections. Iu a certain way, John doos
not Boom to have the pluck of a sheep.
But he will seek trade at tho risk of
his life among those who bate him,
and the Chinese litter-bearer jogging
along in dangerous spots ou the firing
line, seemingly iudillorcut to bullets,
is a well-recognized feature iu mili
tary experience here. This apparent
temerity is probably less duo to cour
age or pluck than it is to tho fact that
the King of Terrors is less of a buga
boo to him than to uiuny of greater
physical and moral courage. His be
lief in a blissful immortality seems to
be a bit more firmly anohorod than
that of the average Christian, and
death is an incident which docs not
scare hi ji as it does most of us.
Johu is a shrewd trader, a clever
evader of custom tariffs and an eco
nomical merchant. Yet he is surpris
ingly honest iu commercial transac
tions. From the stocks displayed in
the Chinese shops in Manila, in Ho
llo, in Jolo, iu Zamboauga aud in the
smaller oities of Luzon und Usaiia,
oue might readily infer, probably with
correctness, that the Philippine trade
was ohiony in the hands of a few
houses iu Hong Kong aud Hiuapore.
There ii a very noticeable sameness
in the articles and patterns displayed.
The Jolo store might almost as well
be in Ban Fernando or Aparri aud vice
versa. This, may be due in large
measure to a certain oonservativeuess
on the part of tho patrons. Certain
colors, certain wares and certain pat
terns seem to be staple. Fashions do
not change, as with us.
Tim position oi me (jumamau in
the industrial and agricultural lifo of
the islands is probably one of supremo
importauce. lie works patiently and
persistently, lie will work all tli
time, aud, it' necessary, endless hours
a day. He ouu be uouuted on for
eight hours, for ten hours per day
The Filipino cannot. He employs
his time to suit his own ideas, not to
suit those of his employer. Almost
no reliance is to be placed upon him.
That is one of tho things wu have to
teaeh liiiu. Hn has to loam that he
will be a great deal happier it he will
work himself half to iteutli for the
sake of Kelt'.ug a lot of things that will
nut do him a little bit of good. He
has to luarii that lile is a Hat failure
unless in) h.i soiiielhin; butter than
his neighbor; that life is useless unless
spent in iuuiliu;( aud toiling, early and
late. OJ ooiii's.i it ii s.io.'al heresy,
but (he mure I see of tropical races
the morn do f wonder ii they really
have not the bust of il after all.
But the t'hiiiu'iMii will work, and
therefore is of iniinh interest and con
cern fur the prospective investor. He
U the laborer of that ruiiou. He will
labor at anything aud will usnally do
his work faithfully and well. At limit,
lie can be madu to if rightly handled.
11 is the worker now, particularly in
the cities aud towns, where his life ii
protected by laws and policemen, Iu
mauy parts of the rural districts he
ruu iteme risk, with no added is-
ducement to do no. Bight there lies
a dilemma. The sugar planter, iu
order to miecoed, tho hemp raiser,
the tobacco planter, tho indigo or
coffee raiser, if these industries prove
successful hero, must have regular
and reliable labor. For that, Fili
pino labor is utterly hopeless. The
uativo might be educated to it in a
generation or two, but who is to pay
for his edncatiou? John is the man,
and there are enough of him to be had
for nil tho farms, plantations aud
estates, for all tho mills and factories
that will ever bo started in tho Phili
pines. But if he bo ullowod to come
in largo numbers, tho Unitod States
will probably stand in the position of
an interested participant in a very
lively race war between tho MongoJ
and tho descendant of the Malay.
CURIOUS FACTS.
Many marvelous escapes have oc
curred in South Africa. One man was
hit iu the right thumb, tho left little
finger aud the tip of tho ear; ho had
also a gra.o under the chin. He was
hit four timos aud scarcely marked.
Mexico has a clever bird called the
molauarpos, which; has discovered a
now uso for the telegraph pole. At
the foot of the post this bird makes a
large hcle, in which it rears its family;
somewhat higher up the post it makes
an observatory, from which bored
holes porinitit to observe the horizon
in every direction; still higher this
sagacious bird makes its storehouse,
and thus the pole serves as its house,
fortress and warehouse.
The witch house, which is still re
garded with groat interest and awn at
Salem, Mass., is supposed to bo the
oldest building iu that part of tho
country, the reputed date of its con
struction being 1031. Modern addi
tions from time to time have almost
changed its identity. The witch
houno is whero peoplo suspected of
practicing tho blaok art were tried.
Tho original building had peaked
gables and was of a very ancient style
of architecture. The present structure
is no more thuu a reminiscence.
At Winchester, England, a curious
custom was in vogue, which, while
not without its humorous aspect, was
particularly trying to the luckless
novice. Hailed beforo a committee of
seniors, he was solemnly askod whether
he was of the "fouudcr's kin," i. e.,
of the family of William of Wykeham.
No matter what the answer might be,
whether "yes" or "no," its accuracy
was tested by "breaking," or attempt
ing to break, a plato over his head,
the theory being that if tho pi ate broke
first his ancestry was clearly proved.
Au even more barbarous bit of bully
ing, once froely indulged in, was to
"ht" tho uulncky wight with a "pair
of tin gloves." This consisted iu scor
ing his bauds with a red-hot faggot
stick by way of breaking him in to
handle heated things.
I cncloso a hastily made sketch of a
phenomenon witnessed by myself,
ltov. W. H. Laird, Mrs. Laird, two
brothers, one sister aud tho family
servants, writes E. O. Liud, of Keene,
Va.,tothe Baltimore Snu. The sky
was slightly overcast. In tho cast the
sun shono brightly. Ou cither side
at the comparative distanoes shown in
my sketch were two suus fainter in
tone, but quite distinct. Above these,
with a centre cutting tho centre of tho.
true suu.was a distinot rainbow, above
this another, aud to the right two rain
bows, whose arcs mot at a tangent in
clined as you see on sketch. The rays
of those two arcs wero continued in
feathery lines toward the horizon till
lost in the cloudy atmosphere. Tho
display was first noticed by the col
ored boy of the house, who came in to
notify me, and it continued for more
than half an hour, when the sun dissi
pated tho clouds and the phenomenon
vauishod.
There is a little iuseot found in New
Caledonia called the "iuseot which
counts," and which seems oapable of
counting to at least six. It is found
ou the loaves of the banana tree, and
when the moment is favorable it may
be soeu to turn around, with its head
as a centre, describing rapid circles.
At first it executes six of them, not
one more nor one less, then it revorses
the movement and makes the same
numbor in an opposite direction. It
stops a moment aud begins again, but
makes only five this timo, always al
ternately in opposite directions. An
other stop, then double rotation in al
ternate ways, the turns this timo bo-
ing ouly four, and so on, diminishing
constantly in such a way to success
ivuly three, then two aud at last one
single turn. After these gymnastic
exercises, which are at tho same time
mathematical, tho insect remains ab
solutely motionless until it gives itself
up again to its complicated calcula
tions with au exactitude which many
people might envy.

"We spent the night in Barbizon,
paid a goodly bill, and set off in the
company of our English frionds for
the town of Fontainebleau, lying at
the centre of fifty square miles of
forest," writes a girl, from Paris, to
the Ladies' Home Journal. "It is
never wild, never mysterious, this
forest that thousands of artists, have
loved to paint, but it is calm aud
grand, aud never tedious. For eight
hours we wandered over plains
covered with towering oaks, among
rocky gorges, out of which slender,
graceful beeches rise, aud through
miles of fragrant, giant pines. Aud
everywhere are feathery ferus and
purple heather. There is not tho
slightest chance of losing one's way;
every square inch of tho forest has
beon mapped out, and at the internee
tiou of every two avenues a red hand
points to the towu and a blue hand
indicate the direction of one of the
'sights,' Aud Fontainebleau? We
saw only tho palace, a bewildering
maze of magnificent rooms. Every
where there was richness, everywhere
wonderful fresooei, wonderful stair
ways, wonderful tapestry, wonderful
inlaid furniture. The grandeur is
oppressive, aud we were glad to get
out into the park, to wauder about in
the diUorout courts,"

After thoroughly freeing it from
dost by means of shaking and sweep
ing, pot down the carpet as usual, and
then proceed to rnb it with flannel,
wrung out in soapsuds, to which tur
pentine has been added. The right
proportion is a tablespoonful of tur
pentine to a gallon of suds. Wash
only a small portion at a time, and

A I.ftlnp Crufft.
The craze for lamps of every de
scription has led to the utilization of
almost every old piece of silver or
pottery in one's possession. Even
water-coolers have boen called into
play; but the extreme. of bnd taste has
bseu reached when the reservoir of the
lamp is shown resting on top of a vase
intended for Movers, and fitting so
badly as to look as thongh a careless
jolt would send the whole affair over.
A lamp is altogether a failure when it
does not suggest stability, and tho in-
gonions housekeeper or decorator has
missed a good point when, in straiu-
nr; aftor novelty, all senso of utuess
Lua been lost.
Proper Wo.v to l.ny the Tnhlerloth.
If tablecloths are bnudled carofully
when laying and removing them, a con
siderable item will be cut from the
laundry bill, besides giving tho table
much bettor appearance. Aitor a
meal the tablecloth always should be
laid awoy in its own folds. It keep?
it smoother and enables ono to handle
t bettor in laying it the next time.
When ready to do so unfold the table
cloth down tho ontire length on the
table, taking euro to put the fold that
marks tho centre of the width down
the centre of tho table. When that i
eady unfold tho tablecloth in the
width, and it will be miro to haug
evenly without any pulhug about to
uake it straight.

is littod with enps mid saucers, tho

Tho two side sashes have been trans-
oriuod into a window garden of forns,

Only the central flush has been left

viow is bad, coats of nrmB aud .other
designs might be steucilod, or leaded
glass be placed, the aim being to keep

its arm over the central pane and

Havo a dotted Swiss curtain at tho

blue ribbons. Let the little bedstead
be painted with white enamel and
draped with a canopy of whito Swiss,
through which a blue silk lining
should show. The bureau, which
must correspond in size to tho bed,
should also bo white, and, if one s
bank aocount will allow it, decorated
in silver.
The latent washstand for a child'.!

with a deep hollow iu the center to
hold the dainty bowl aud pitcher. In
this room all the appointments of the

corner of the room have a baby divau
covered with light blue chintz aud
banked with white lineu-oovered pil

"I have just returned from a two
weeks' sojourn in tho City of Mexico,"
said a Mississippi lumberman, who is
a frequent visitor in New Orleans, "I
bad a rattling good time, and learned
several valuablo .lesions iu forcigu
etiquette ouo of whioh was to beware
of gifts. The story iu connection with
it is this: A friend who resides in the
city introduced me to a lot of charm
ing people directly after my arrival and
one of them, a young Mexican lawyer,
invited mo around to his bachelor
qnnrtors. While thoro I happened to
notico a beautiful panel on whioh was
nn elaborate floral design exocutod en
tirely in feathers. 1 never saw any
thing like it before, and was express
ing my admiration when my host in
terrupted -by iui.istiiig that I accept it
as a souvenir. I didn't want to do so,
but he was so pressing and apparently
so sincere that I finally thanked him,
und when I left I carried tho thing
away. On the following day I saw
him again, and was very muoh snr
prised at the change iu his manner.
He was cold and distant, and in fact
ho hardily recognized mo nt all. I
was at a loss to account for such u
transformation, aud reported the mat
ter to my friend, who was also puz
zled and questioned mo closely as to
my visit to tho lawyer's quarters.
Filially I remembered about tho panel,
and wlien I narrated the incident my
friend wan horrified. He told me that
f had made the worst possible 'break'
n accepting tho presout or at any rate
iu taking it away, and explained that
n Mexico it is a piece of merely por-
filimtory politeness to offer a guest
inytbiug lor which he expresses ad
miration, but that such gilts ure never
taken seriously.
"We got out of tho scnipo by re
turning the panel with a note saying
I had merely wished to examine it
lonely, and now denired to restore it
to tho collection whioh it adorned.
When I again met the Mexican gentle
man he wan cordiality itself. I re
membered, on Beoond thought, haviiif;
read something ubnut the custom in
ogard to presents, but had no idea it
was really followed. Eveu'at tho bull
fights it is n common thing for specta
tors to throw magnificent sombreros
nto tho arena, ostensibly as gifts to
the matador. They uro always scrupu

The well-ordered life, the life obe

a life free that is without definite guid

Here is tho latest, srory of tho mail

paper: "A man who was too economi
cal to take his paper sent his little
boy to borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor. Iu bio haste tho boy ran
over a $1 stand of bees, aud iu ten
minutes looked like a warty summer
squash. His cries reached his father,
who van to his assistance, aud failing
to notice a barbed wire fence, van into
that, breaking it down, cutting a
handful of flesh from his anatomy,
and ruining a $1 pair of pants. The
old cow took advantage of the gap iu
the fence, uud got into the cornfield,
und killed herself eating greon corn.
Heaving tho racket, the wife rau, up
set a four Gallon churn full of rich
cream into n basket of kittens, drown
ing tho whole flock, la the hurry,
che uroppod a 37 set of false teeth.
The baby, loft alone, crawled through
the spilled milk and into tho parlor,
ruining a brand new 820 carpot. Uur
