Information About the Philippine*.
Tho Philippine Information society,
which is composed mainly of promi¬
nent educators, bus slim** last Novem¬
ber been publishing a series of pam¬
phlets treating on tlio l’liillpplne Is¬
lands und the relations of the l tilted
States with the Filipinos from May,
IftbH, to the present time. This series
Is now concluded, bringing the history
up to July,
As there has been n demand for these
publications not only by residents of
every state In tho Union, but also by
residents of nearly all parts of the
World, It Is apparent thnt they have
fnet-d widespread want, and In view of
this fact the society Is encouraged to
Is'Kln In November next a monthly
publication entitled the rblllpplne He¬
vtaw, in this the society will under
take to render easily accessible all
current Information on the 1’hUlypiM©
question published In this country—
government reportn, congressional do
but<^ Associated Press news, etc.
The society's representatives in Wash
lngton will be permitted to have access
to the various military nnd elvtl re¬
ports from tho Philippines, both print¬
er! and otlierwlse, which will form an
Important and valuable feature of the
publication. In addition, the aoclety
will endeavor to secu^p correspond¬
ence direct from tho Philippines, repr>
sentlng as many points of view and us
many Interest*. both American an<J
Filipino, as possible, and Buch part of
thin correspondence no tho editors
think of au/Helent value will be pub¬
lished, vrtth such editorial explanation
as It may sestn to require.

Museum* of Sanitation.
The proposition tq erect a new build
big In London ft>r tlio Farkes museum
cpjl* attention to the important work
of that Institution. Although founded
only twenty-five years ago for Instruc¬
tion In sanitary science, Its work has
grown to have an Important relation to
public health not only In London, but
In other cities i>f Great Britain, and
some of Its 2,500 members are to bo
found lu almost every’ country on tho
globe. Its exhibits are object lessons
to builders us to methods of construc¬
tion, materials, water supply, sewer¬
age, heating, lighting nnd ventilation.
It carries on special Investigations In¬
to problems of sanitation nnd main¬
tains a library and reading room for
purposes of original research. More¬
over, It conducts courses of lectures for
the Instruction of sanitary Inspectors
and also for preparing teachers to give
to their pupils primary lessons In the
art of preserving health.
The suggestion that Institutions for
similar purposes and conducted upon a
no less IHhu-rI plan be established In
^ho larger cities of the United States is
timely and pertinent While this coun¬
try has in recent years been making
much progress In tho sanitary science,
there still remains much to be done in
the way of public Instruction ns to the
necessity of cleanliness and as to tlio
methods of obtaining and continuing It
for the permanent eradication of dis¬
eases whoso germs flourish in tilth.

the fact that we are still lighting the

It la now stated that General Do Wet
Is to show no quarter to captured Brit
ish soldiers after the time limit set by
Lord Kitchener for the banishment of
captured Doors. This would only be
tit for tat, but It Is well enough to wait
for confirmation of such news before
believing thnt tho Boer commander
has decided on tho savage policy of re¬
prisal, which would be natural In the
caso. Meanwhile, the chase goes on,
nnd as often on British as on Boer ter
rltory. Two commandos are reported
to have passed Unmolested within 130
miles of Cai>e Town, and generally
Kitchener’s troops control little beyond
the range of their outposts. It Is n
frightful enterprise which Kitchener
still has ahead, and if It Is too late tc
make terms with the desperate men
who linve elected to dlo In the laud
they may not save, then, for tlio honor
of the British name. Kitchener must
treat them to the end like the worthy
foes they are and not like outlaws.
A coroner's Jury at Hagerstown, Md.,
has held for the grand jury a mao
■viio. e criminal reeklossueus caused the
deuth of a young woman a few days
ugo. His offense was rocking the boat
In which ho and the young woman
were sailing. The testimony plainly
indicated his actions, and the jury lost
no time In declaring him guilty of the
homicide. A few such prosecutions
widely advertised, especially If effec¬
tive In bringing such people to punish¬
ment, would go far toward breaking
up a habit which has cost many lives.
An Ohio paper suggests that a few
educational excursions to the Philip¬
pines would greatly’ benefit certain
American statesmen. Judging by the
record of the transport Thomas the
Philippine trip would decidedly benefit
all of them who are bachelors, provid¬
ed the ship orr which they sailed had a
similar passenger list to that of the
Thomas.

For the first two, apples and quinces
are cooked In water and sifted, small
fruits are mashed nnd, when the seeds
are objectionable, arc also sifted. An
equal weight of sugar Is used, hut it

soft. Frequent stirring Is necessary to
fcvoid burning. In making butters the
preplfted fruit Is cooked slowly with
a very little water. In the meantime
It Is stirred with a peculiar shaped,
perforated, wooden utensil, tho fruit
being broken up by passing through
the perforations during tho stirring.
Sugar, either pound for i>ound or three
fourths of a pound to a pound of fruit,,
and spices are added during the.book¬
ing, tho larger portion during tlie lat¬
ter part of the cooking to lessen the
liability to burn. Apples and peaches
are the fruits most often made Into

the use of heat, or, as in ease of other
fruits, the currants may be cooked
enough to release the juice without
pressure. To extract the Juice a little
water Is added to tho fruit, and the
whole is cooked steadily but slowly
over the tire until the juice flows freely,
or the fruit is cooked without the addi¬
tion of water in a jar standing In a
vessel of hot water until It is soft
