As the Philippine,islands are to
become a - part of the United
States, and their citizens subjects
of the same flag as our readers, it
will be a matter of interest to
know what the products of these
islands are, and where they are
marketed. The following article
from the Scientific American gives
some interesting facts on the sub
ject:
The great commercial products
of the Philippine islands are sugar
hemp, tobacco, copra and coffee in
the order given. The sugar is ex
ported from Manila to Spain and
Great Britain. The processes of
manufacture are crude, and there
are only a few plantations, mostly
monastic. They are leased to
Chinese half-breeds, from whom
better results are obtained than
from Europeans.

A SHERMAN ROMANCE.
git Old California Sweetheart Loyal to
the General.
When General William Tecumseb
ghermun was a raw subaltern in the
United States army, without fame or
laurels and little apparent hope of win
ning either, relates the Chicago Chron
icle, he wooed and wou & beautiful
Spanish girl then living in Monterey,
Cal. Dona Maria Ygnacia Bonifacic
fell beneath the ardent glances of the
lank, ungainly youth just as the flag of
•the sister republic was lowered befpra
the triumphant army led by Scott. To
day she is still true to her early love
and unaware of the fame and death of
her lover.
California was then a part of the
I Mexican republic. Sherman, like many
another, was forced to make war against
the laud of the Montezumas. In the
Posing year cf the straggle, when Cali*
lamia was occupied and became a part
[of the United States, Sherican was as
signed to duty on the coast. Here he
met the fair dona, lost his heart to her
land won hers in return. She was a
mender of an old aristocratic Spanish
family, and the subaltern was congratu
Ilat-d upon his luck. To emphasize hia

The Mauila hemp resembles real
hemp in color, but is made from
the leaf stem of the banana plant,
which has an inedible fruit and
grows in poor soil. The plant is
rudely cultivated and cut down
when three years old, the fibres
being separated by native ma
chines, with which two natives can
prepare twenty five pounds a day,
The course fibres are exported in
the crude state to Great Britain
and the United States, where the}”
are used for making a highly
prized cordage. 'The fine fibres
are used at home for making fab
rics used for dress and ornaments,
light and transparent. The ex
port in 1893 amounted to $10,000,-
000.
Some say the Manila tobacco is
equal to the Havana. Manila to
bacco is stronger than it looks,
and has a fine, herby flavor to
which those who use it become
much attached. The tobacco was
made a monopoly of the govern
ment in 1371. That is, anyone
could raise it, but only the govern
ment could buy it and could set
the price. In 1882 this restric
tion was removed.
She Had a Natural Anxiety* Which
Made Manifest.
As my horse, pulling like a porpoise,
drew me and my buckboard up the last
sharp acclivity of the mountain road
that led ©ut into the pass between the
summit.’ rising on either hand he would
have exercised his privilege and stopped
a moment to blow, but 100 yards ahead
of us I saw a bright bit of calico gleam
ing in the morning sun, and, driving on,
I came up to a buxom mountain maid
sitting on a stump at a point where a
footpath leading up from the valley
met the main road.
• ‘Good moraiu,” she said before 1
had a chance to stop, and there seemed
to he an anxious tone in the voice.
“Good morning,” I responded, and I
was on the point of asking her how far
it was to the next place, a favorite man
ner of starting a conversation on moun
tain roads, when she broke in.
“Air you a preacher?” she asked.
“No,” I answered, with a smile, for I
had never been asked that question be
fore.
‘‘Nor a squire?”
“No.”
“Well, Jim Martin's comin along
this away purty soon now, an I wuz
jis’ axin so’s thar wouldn’t be no mis
takes. ”
‘‘I don’t quite understand your ex
planation,” I said, completely in the
dark as to what she was trying to get at.
*‘I reckon not, but I ain’t takin no
chances, an I thought I’d better stop
you while I had the chance.”
“Thank you, I’m sure, but if you
will tell me what’s up I may be able to
know what you are talking about.”
She laughed good naturedly.
“Well, you see it’s this a-way,” she
said. “Jim, he’s been a-courtin an
a-sparkin round me fer about two ye’i
now, an last night he popped an says ea
how ef I’d be here this mornin ez he
come along we’d go down to Logville
an git hitched, an Jim’s mighty cnreli-
able, an like’s not ef we got thar an the
preacher ner the squire warn’t thar I’d
never git Jim in the mind ag’in, so*I
kinder thought mebbe you might be the
squire er the preacher an I didn’t want
you to git away. Ef you meet Jim any
wheres down the road, don’t tell him 1

completely baffled the doctors. They
are totally unable to cure it. and direct
their efforts toward bottling the poison
up in the blood and concealing it from
view. S. S. S. cures the disease posi
tively and permanently by forcing out
every trace of the taint.
I was afflicted with a terrible blood disease,
Which was in spots at first, but afterwards
spread all over my body.
These scon broke out into
sores, and it is easy to
imagine the suffering I
endured.' B ef o r e I be
came convinced that the
doctorscould do no good,
I had spent a imndred
dollars, which was really
thrown away. I then
tried various patent
medicines, but they did
not reach the disease.
When I had* finished my
first bottle of S. 8. S. I
was greatly improved
and was delighted with
the result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller, and
before long disappeared entirely. I regained
my lost weight, became stronger, and my ap
petite greatly improved. I w is soon entirely
well, and my skin as clear as a piece of glass.

as mercury will surely destroy the

Opals and Peacock Feathers.
These are certainly the days of short
ehrift with superstitions. Opals have
become one of the most fashionable of
stones, the widely spread and long ex
isting idea that it was ominous to own
them even, much less wear them, hav
ing quite passed away. An advantage
possessed by these gems over all others
is that they cannot be imitated. A paste
or any other sort of falsified opal does
not exist. With the passing of the opal
bogie has gone, too, the ban under
which peacock feathers have long lpin.
Decorators delight in the rich colorings
of these plumes and have done much by
their persistent use of them in carrying
out effects, to do away with the non

A Place For Dref.s Waists.
In these clays, when space is a ra after
of deep importance in one’s home and
bedrooms and closets in apartment
houses' are so curtailed, the young
housekeeper has to devise all kinds of
makeshifts to replace the wardrobe and
drawer space to which she has been ac
customed. Couches are to be had made
so that, the top turns back easily and
discloses au airtight storage space
where nice dress skirts may be spread
out at length and still be as accessible
as if hung in a wardrobe. And now
some one has solved the problem of
where to put the betrimrued dress
waists so.that they shall not be crushed
and still may be quickly got out. thus
giving further relief to overcrowded
closets.
Brass bedsteads are now made with
two dust proof drawers underneath.
The length of the drawers is the same
as the width, of the bed. Ouo drawer
opens at the upper end of the bed, and
on the opposite side the drawer is *t the
lower end. The plaited valance to
match the draperies of the bed is fas
tened separately to the front of the
drawers, and when they are "dosed they
are not noticeable, as the folds hang to
gether and the lace trimmed bed cover
falls over the top of the valance. The
drawers are so made as to clear away
any doubts of those who may object to
the idea on the score that they may be
come close and st uffy. There is a space
between the closed top of the drawer and
the bed, thus allowing ample circular
tion of air all around.—New York Sun-

Application to the business in hand of
words already chosen for another pur
pose than in the invention of an appro
priate phrase. Bishop Whipple, accord
ing to The Cbureb News, loved to tell
this story:
A devout oolorea preacher, whose
heart was aglow with missionary zeal,
gave notice to his congregation that in
the evening an offertory would bo taken
for missions and asked for liberal gifts.
A selfish, well to do man in his congre
gation said to him before the service:
“ Yer gwine to kill dis church ef yet
goes on saying give, give. No church
can stan it Yer gwine to kill it”
After the sermon the colored minister
said to the people:
“Brother Jones told me I was gwine
to kill dis here church ef I kep’ a-askin
yer to give, but, my brethren, ohurohea
doesn’t die dat way. El anybody know*
of a church dat died 'cause it’a been
givin too much to de Lord, I’ll be very
much obliged ef my brother will tell in#
whar dat church is, for I’ze gwine to
visit it, and I’ll climb on de walls of
dat church, under de light of de moon,
and cry, ‘Blessed am de dead dat die in

The war department has dec-ded
that it will not allow three majors
to each Georgia regiment. A com
munication from Washington re
ceived Saturday to the effect that
only regiments which volunteered
as organizations and had three
majors under the state law could
have three in the United States
service. Acting on the under
standing that there would be three
majors in each regiment, Gov. At
kinson promoted Capt. Cleveland
Wilcoxson to the third major in
the Second Regiment, and Lieut.
R. E. L. Spence of the United
States Army, to be third major in
the First. The decision of the de
partment to cut off the third
major deprives Capt. Wilcoxson of
his promotion and will leave the
First Regiment without the servi
ces of Lieut. Spence. Mr. Spence,
who i3 at Santiago, taking part in
the great battles there, has been
appointed major in the Third
Georgia Regiment on the supposi
tion that this organization, at
least, would have a third major,
that now seems to be a mistake.
At present M a j. Teague and Maj.
Beck will command two battalions
and one will be commanded by
Lieut. Col. Beyner.
True Patriotism.

one thing Mr. Watterson said:
“Obedience, submission, is the
first and perhaps the hardest of
the soldier’s duties. If the of
ficers seem capricious or tyran
nous, do your duty. It will come
around all right. If the powers
seem partisan or unfair, do your
duty. The end will justify you.”

BURNS AND HIS MARY.

And manhood all creeds above.
Of the dear, green earth in her beauty
And the dewy glory of love.
But the sweetest, tenderest chord he gave
Was the requiem poured o’er his lost
love’s grave.
Then life was but futile longing
And earth but a beauteous tomb.
But songs through the silence were
thronging,
Ahd glory dwelt in the gloom,
And sorrow, the harper billed and strong.
From the breaking heart drew its sweet
est song.
When thy grief had heavenward striven
In melody trembling to prayer,
Did thy Mary remember in heaven
Her love by the braes of Ayr?
We know, not, but earth that heard thee
Must*chfrish thy song to her latest spring.
Deep'heart, so lavish in loving!
Oh, wayward and broken heart!
As safe from our shallow reproving
As deaf to our praise thou art.
Yet thy song shall thrill us while love
shall last
And thy jorrow move us till death be pas..

Or.ni^o Woman's Club,
The Woman’s club of Orange, N. J.,
| held a most interesting session ou March
24, when its annual election occurred.
Thia marked the quarter century of the
club’s existence. It is one of the oldest
clubs for \vomen in the country. There
were but four others in existence at the
time cf its founding. It organized with
15 members; now it has a membership
of 800 and a long waiting list. The club
has become a department club, and the
recording secretary, Mrs. Stanley, read
a brief review of the year’s work, which
was followed by reports from the chair
men of each department. Each depart
ment in turn furnishes the club pro
gramme for general meetings. The de
partment of education furnished a pro
gramme upon coeducation, also one up
on the education of the Indians.
The election of officers for the coming
year gave the presidency to Mrs. Gush-
man, who has filled the place in a most
able manner during the last year. The
other officers were re-elected with the
exception of Mrs. Stanley, who was not
eligible for recording secretary, having
held the place for the limit allowed by
the dub. __________________

A Thief-proof Watch.
For the summer girl, shirt-
waieted or in a muslin gown a new
sort of watch has been devised, a
watch that might be called “thief-
proof.” The police court records
prove that there is abundant need
of such a watch. Ever since
women first fook to wearing their
timepieces on the outside of their
frocks a new temptation lia3 arisen
for the sneak thief.
He has found many a rich har
vest of an afternoon, for any watch
hanging on a little hook pin may
be snatched away readily. But
the sneak thief has now his match.
The new style of woman’s watch
cannot be snatched off. If an at
tempt is made, a good portion of
the waist will come too. or else
the watch will remain in its place
uninjured.
At the buck of this watch—
where the point of difference be

lies—-there is a small screw shirt
