HE AMERICAN WAY OF BRINGING UP GIRLS TENDS
"TO" MAKE : THEM MORE '"MORAU THAN .THE ENO-;
LI8H WAY. ,,..,,, (t
I've often beard English people say of American
! children that the great mistake : in their; bringing
I ' up ia that they are too aobn let oat of the. nursery.
I don't tli ink that .comment is justified because IX AMERICA
THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE 'ANY NURSERY.' , : v
little girls of fifteen and sixteen I see about in qite grownup
gowns and with their hair put up. They are not "out," I am told,
and yet they certainly seem to go about quite a much as if they
were. In England girls of that age stay all day in the, nursery and
only come in for dessert. 'Their hair is down their backs too. I
like the American way. ; I think it is the best way possible to bring
I up girls. I believe that freedom is the best possible thing in
a family where breeding and culture are in the very air the girl
breathes. IT IS FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND EXPRES
SION ' WHICH IS GOING TO MAKE HER BRILLIANT
AND ORIGINAL AND STRONG MENTALLY" AND MOR
ALLY. v-X"h",: '4'; ;v-'A-'
: I admit that this early mingling of -American girls with grown
up people does come in evidence sometimes ia a most startling way.
I mean the freedom of expression of American girls when they are
; talking with men.
When I was here seven years ago, I heard a young girl on ship
board say to a young physician, ."Oh, doctor, if you can get me a
file of papers now, I'm yours for life." I was aghast at the phrase,
then. ' And once I heard a fascinating little girl turn to a man of
her party and, apropos of some Btory of domestic infelicity, remark,
"Billy, ', when we are married, I'll never allow you to' act like that."
Afterward I observed to her atint that sfie was very young to be
engaged. "Qh, dear me!" exclaimed the aunt. "Why, the child
Isn't engaged unless it has occurred Bince breakfast."
STILL, WHAT, 1 BELIEVE IS THAT THIS INFORMALITY OF
SPEECH IS SIMPLY INFORMALITY OF SPEECH AND STAND8 FOR,
NOTHING ELSE, INDEED, I THINK IT IS A SAFEGUARD AGAINST
ALL THE THINGS WHICH ACCORDING TO THE ENGLISH WAY OF
THINKING, IT ENDANGERS. . . - .

It' has been suggested that a memo
rial window be placed in Westminster
abbey la honor of-the late Duke of
Wewtmlnstw. Considerable indignant
protest Is being beard on the ground
thst such honor should be reserved for
really great men. One critic says: "He
was merely a good average duke of a
kind that we breed as easily as wc
breed good aterage grocers. It is in-
tolerable , that Westminster abbey
should be spoiled to do him posthu
mous honor." ' , ;'.-; ':'r. 1 "v
The bulk of the British preserves Is
made in London. A reliable estimate
givea the weekly output by London
makers ss 000 to COO tons, and this out
put is annually Increasing. Taking the ;
art-rage not profit at 20 per, ton, the;
total profit amounts to about $11,000
per week, or nearly $000,000 per an
num. This very safe estimate does not
luclude the profits accruing from con
fectionery, candied peel, sauces and
other coinertibles manufactured by
nearly all English preserving firms.

THE MORO SLAVES WILL YET BE FREE
' By CUMU ROOT, Secretary ef War
OW that the insurrection' has been disposed of, we shall
be able to turn our attention not merely to the slave
trade, but to the already existing slavery among the
Moros. WE CANNOT IMMEDIATELY FJJIEE
THE SLAVES BY, A SINGLE ACT, FIRST,
BECAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE A ' WAR OF EXTER
MINATION 'in which a large part of the slaves would probably
be found fighting against us, and, second, because a large part of
them would have nowhere to go and no way to live if deprived of
the protection and support of their present masters.
' I BELIEVE, HOWEVER. THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN A PROCESS
OF GRADUAL AND STEADY REDUCTION, RESULTING ULTI
MATELY IN THE EXTINCTION OF THE PRACTICE . OF SLAVERY.
. Some, of the results of our efforts in that direction are stated
in my last report. The process will be slow and will require patience
and good judgment, but I believe the result will be worth the trou
ble. THE TASK "OF IMPROVING THE MOROS IS BY
NO MEANS HOPELESS. ' . -

us that night on account of the noise
and "jabbering" of the porters,' 4' We
discovered the tent next morning torn
to shreds two miles northwest of the

We beard later on that a well known
official who Is out here prospecting
bad a similar experience, but unfor
tunately in his esse the porter was
carried off inside the tent lie tracked
the beast next morning for two miles
Into some scrub, came up with him and
shot blm at twenty-five yards. Need
less to say, there was very little left
of the poor porter.

-Firo months ago Rivera, serving a
fourteen year sentence in San Juan
Jail, yielded to the promise of Governor
Hunt of Porto KJeo ana obtained a par
don by executing nine murderers who
bad been condemned to death.
Since then Rivera bas been free, but
it has been the freedom of starvation.
He bas been ac
quitted by the
law and .con
demned by bis
fellow men.
Ko words can
describe the ab
horrence which
Porto Ricansfeel
for a public ex

both humane
and. supersti
tious grounds
they are averse
to inflicting the
death penalty.
No native car
penter will build
a - scaffold or
platform on
which the vic
tims are to be
placed. No mer
chant will sell
lumber or nails
for such a pur?

chanic will re
pair a garrotlng
machine, nad it
not been for tbe
active supervision of Marshal Both well
of the supreme court the. executions at
which Rivera officiated could not bave
taxen piace.,'i , .-1
This intense aversion to garrotlng
and to the man who perform it Is not
Justified by any peculiar brutality In
the act itself. Captain Griffith of the
United States army expressed it as his
opinion after seeing Rivera put the
last four prisoners . to death that the
process was even quicker and less paiu-
ful than hanging. - - -- i - f
According to the old Spanish custom
In Porto Rico, the doomed man Is
placed in a chair, with hands tied to his
sides, feet . fastened below and the
black cap over his head. The deadly
clutch of the garroting machine's iron
fingers is then arranged at bis neck, so
that with one swift, powerful turn of
the handle the victim's neck is broken.
The body is sometimes seen to pu!T
slightly, the hands twitch, and without
a groan the life Is reft from the lo.'y.
