Points and Paragraphs of Things Present, Past and Future. While the people of the South gen erally, and especially of this region, know very little of woman's conspicu ousness in public business interests, it is not so tame everywhere. Through a rich mining tract in California, women are building a railroad sixty miles long with a million dollar bond issue. Mrs. Annie Kline Rickert Is president of the company. Among her directors ire Mrs. Green, Mrs. Gould, and Misses Brainard and Lane. "Some peopleare too close to be honest," was what we heard when a hild. We do not know so much about that it may be true or it may not but as a newspaper man we have had to do with many classes of persons, and some of them are mighty "close." Recently we had occasion to deal with an individual who seemed close enough to suggest to us that if he were passing into heaven and there were gate fees he would "Jew" the gate-keeper if possi ble. Here is how the Chicago Inter Ocean talks about temperance : "Twenty years ago it was often true that young men who drank beer or wine or even whiskey m moderation, might be advanced to placc3 of great trust and responsibility. It is now scarcely possible. The habit is simply fatal to success. I do not believe there is a single reputable house In Chicago where an employe who drinks intoxicants of any kind has anything like an even chance for promotion. The taking of a single glass of beer may, and often does, mean losing the chance of a lifetime. Brainy boys and young men teetotalers from principle are plenty enough to fill the places in the Jine of promotion." The Norfolk Virginian and Pilot ex presses in TftK,editorial paragraph the following beautiful sentiment, which s worthy to be remembered in every relation in life : "To love one another," as taught by the Man of Nazareth, is thefecret of ife, whether in politics or religion, in public concerns, or private interests ; but it sounds too sentimental for many men. Bat surely we can wish well to one another, and that is at least the beginning of wisdom, as to do evil or wish ill to one another is the joint folly and wickedness taught by the ather of lies and the breeder of iniqu ity. Divided and weakened by selfish ness, we fall ; united and made strong by mutual regard and help, wo stand and win.

Until the cables brought the news of Dewey's victory at Manila our peo ple had shown no further interest in the Philippine islands than that which respect for a good standing in the school room had inspired during child hood days. Previous to the battle of Manila it is doubtful if one out of ten of our adult population could have named the ocean in which these is lands are located, and it is equally doubtful if more than that they are in the Pacific ocean. But on that mem orable Sunday morning of May 1, while giying the world a lesson in modern naval warfare, Commodore Dewey killed two birds with one stone and gave his countrymen a lesson in insular geography. The victory at Manila created a lively interest in tbe islands. We had hazarded the fortunes of war, and these islands had fallen to us as the victor's spoils. To bold them as such became the imme diate policy of our people, and like a boy with his firet knife "we have set about to learn what they are good for. The Philippine islands are located in the Pacific ocean, less than 500 miles southest of China. The group contains nearly 1,400 islands with an estimated area of 115,528 square miles, being an area equal to more than tbe combined areas of the states of Maine, Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Vermont, Maryland and West Virginia. They are all mountainous, but the highest peaks do not exceed 9,000 feet. This characteristic as well as the elevation of the coral reefs into raised beaches, and the number of sea shells found upon the ridges, lead to the belief that most of the is lands have been heaved from below the sea-level within comparatively re cent time3. Volcanic forces have had powerful effect throughout the islands, and several volcanoes cqntinue their activity with, at times, destructive re sults. Luzon, tbe largest island of the group and oiwwhich Manila, the capi tal of the group, is located, is . famous fof its burning volcano, known as Monte Cagua, which discharges great quantities of smoke perpetually. In the southern part of the Island is the volcano Taal, which has the distinc tion of being the lowest volcano In the world. While these islands have the dis tinction of being among the richest and most important in the Pacific ocean, we Know out nttie aoout mem and less about tbe nativesv The dis covery and conquest of the Philip pines are subjects of stirring interest, both bloody and romantic. The first European to sight their shores was Ferdinand Magellan, who landed at Simar, March 12, 1524. This was on his famous tour as tbe first navigator to reach the East Indies "by sailing westward. Having learned th,at he had accomplished this purpose, Magel lan addressed himself to the task of making conquest for Spain. He ac cordingly took possession of every is land he vieited in the name of the king of Spain and planted the cross as a symbol of its couquest and annexation. When he - reached the island of Zebu he convinced the king of the island that it would be to his advan tage to accept Christianity and a Span- sh protectorate. He next convinced him that having become a Christian it was his duty to subjugate the sur rounding islands and bring them un der one rule.. An attack on the other islands by the combined forced of Ma gellan lost his life and his men were re pulsed with heavy loss. No further at tempt to conquer the remaining is lands was made at the time. , The survivors of the Magellan expe- t i m 1 dition who finally reacnea opsin spread tffe most glowing reports of tbe wealth that might be obtained by trai fic with the natives ot the oriental islands. ..These reports incited Portu guese navigators to extend their ex plorations and conquests to the lsianas, A t much to the jealous regret oi me Spaniards. Finally, upon the acces sion of Philip IL to the throne of Spain, lie decided to destroy all Portu guese interests in the Philippines, and to enter upon the conquest oi tne is- nr Mia "e-lnrv ot God and the lauup v o sain of Spanish interests." Accord ingly, a Spanish expedition set sail in 1564, and the following year reached the Philippines. Tbe natives receiv ed the Spaniards with manifestations of friendship, and at the solicitation of Truth wears well.

MM0NWEA: tbe Spanish commander they entered into an alliance, which was attested by the chiefs and the commander, . draw ing blood from their arms and breasts and mingling it with wine or , wafer, and drinking it as a pledge of mutual fidelity. The bond, however, solemn ly made, was not faithfully kept ; for the natives soon discovered the avaric ious policy of the Spaniards and ac cused them of giving good words, but performing bad deeds. ' The fleet sail ed from one island to another, but did not find peaceful methods successful. Losing faith in peaceful tactics the Spaniards soon found a pretext for 'ag gression, and tbe foundation ot the first Spanish settlement in the Philip pines was made in the smouldering ashes of the capital of Zebu. In 1751 the capital was removed to Manila, because of the superior harborage of this place. Here it grew until of late years it has attained a population of over 300,000, with all the facilities and luxuries ot a great city. The aboriginals of tbe Philippine archipelago are dark, almost black, but they are neither Papuan, Chinese, nor negroes. Their total number at this time probably does not exceed 25,000, for they have disappeared rapidly under the oppression of their conquerors. In size they are more diminutive than even their Corean neighbors, averaging in height considerably less than five feet, and their limbs are as small as those of children ten years of age. The nose is flat as the negro's, lips thick, hair black and frizzled and their feet large, and what is particularly remarka ble is the fact that they have prehensile toes, by which provision they are en abled to grasp an object with almost as much dexterity by means of their toes as with their hands. They wear little clothing, tattoo themselves, have no permanent abode, and subsist chief ly on honey, game, fish, wild fruits, palm-cabbage and arum root. Wars with neighboring Malays drove the people to take refuge in the least ac cessible parts of the 'islands, where they are yet to be found. Externally they are all Roman Cat hoi tea, nut nevertheless they retain many ot their ancient superstitions, but are careful to practice their forms of religious ceremony in secret. One of their strangest ceremonies, not completely understood, is the offering of iruit to the spirit of the sea. This is practiced by a few of the tribes occupying some of the smaller islands where missionary influence has been but slightly felt. This strange sacrifice is made at night at the time"of full moon, when a native priest leads a company of deyotee3 to some still portion ol the beach, wherft he constructs a small bamboo raft, up on which are placed a variety of fruits of the season, and two or thre9 young chickens. When completed the raft is pushed into the water by the priest, who with prayers of a propitiatory character, solemnly makes his offering to the spirit of the sea. The far interior tribes also makes similar offerings to the spirits of the lakes, but no . white person has been able to obtain a satis factory explanation of either the cere mony or of the native conception of the deity whom they worship or seek to propitiate. The natives are especially fond of music and amusements, cock-fighting arid theatricals being favorite forms. Some of the tribes are industrious agricultuiists, construct irrigation ca nals with great skill, and also excel as metal workers. Their morals are in striking contrast with those which dis tinguish the licentioud Malays. They are monogomists, allow no divorce and severely punish infidelity. In agricul ture they show ingenuity, Industry and persistence, for their farms are models ot careful cultivation. While work seems to be a pleasure with them, music is a passion, which they combine even in the field, so that it. is not un usual to see a brass band discoursing before a horde of laborers gathering the rice plant. The Chinese, in spite of massacres and administrative restrictions, com- pose a coiisiaeraDie oieiueut m iae Philippines, not only being a large part of the population, ut m their hands are the principal banking mterests.of tbe Islands. Most of the business m Manila is carried on by Chinese mer chants. These bing up the products from the lower provinces and deal with the English and American houses. Ttipm nr nnlv a few r Americans in Manila, and these command but an in significant part ot the trade. There is a large colony of Germans and. Swiss, and a handful of Scotch-Englishmen ; not too small, however, to maintain an English club.

Tbe principal productions of the is lands are rice, hemp, tobacco, coffee, sugar and cocoa, Tobacco was a gov ernment monopoly of Spain from 1781 until 1882, under which drastic opera tions, while any one might raise .. to bacco, the government alone could buy, and not only was this right re served, but the government also fixed the price, and paid for the purchase whenever it suited the convenience of tne exenequer, wmcn sometimes was not until two or three years. Besides this, a tribute of 2,500,000 pounds was annually sent to Spain. . This was a tenth of the entire product, and as each district was required to furnish a cer tain quantity of the leaf, the peasant was often compelled to cultivate to bacco when other crops might be more profitable. Since the abolition ot this monopoly .the manufacture of tobacco into cigars and cigarettes has grown to extraordinary proportions, twenty-thousand persons being engaged in the in dustry In Manila alone. Manila-hemp, coffee and sugar comprise the chief ex ports, next to cigars, and to accommo date tbe commerce of the islands more than athousand vessels are required. The political conditions which have existed in the Philippines have been identical with tlfbse that have caused so much suffering in Cuba. The home government has imposed tbe most on erous burdens upon the people, has compelled them to support a profli gate captain-general with numerous attaches, and to provide places at high salaries for broken-down aristocrats to fatten from the public revenues. A large standing army has also been kept on the islands and heavy issues of bonds have been made from time to time to pay the expenses ol government ex ploitations in other fields. To no sin gle cause, therefore, can the, frequent rebellions that have taken place on the islands be attrihutoriKiit tUo? be comprehended tinder the geaaral charge ot shameful oppressions. One of the most serious! of these uprisings took, place in 1876. This was- put down by the mailed hand of General Weyler, who adopted the same cruel tactics that he used so savagely, but vainly, in Cuba. The people of these islands lack the spirit of endurance that has so marked the Cubans, and speedily succumbed before the bioody knife, the dripping bayonet and the gatlmg guns turned loose upon them. This prompt quelling of the Philip pine insurgents gave General Weyler the reputation of being a resolute and adroit commander, and he was crown ed with extravagant honors upon his return to Spain. When the rebellion had been suppressed, Weyler, as cap tain general of the islands, enforced the former rules of oppression until he was called to succeed General Campos in Cuba. As soon as the people learn ed that his mailed hand had lost its grip upon their throats they broke out in another rebellion, which Still con tinues and of which the battle at Ma nila, May 1 last, was an incident. Spain has shown herself as unworthy of the right to rule the Philippines as she is incompetent to exercise sov ereignty in Cuba. Her policy in both places has been one of greed and butch- M. a t 1 . ery. oho snouia oe iorever uriven from Cuba and the Philippines. While the United States is not a na tion of conquest, it would be manifestly right for us to hold the Philip pines. ABide from a matter of right and justice such action would be ad vantageous fronra commercial stand point. Tbe products of the Philip pines are largely the same as those of the Hawaiian islands, and we need these products to supplement ours. With both these groups in our posses sion, and with the possible addition of the Ladrone islands, we would have possessions at convenient distances in a direct line from the United States to the East Indies. This would open the Pacific ocean to our commerce, and the advantage that might result to our trade is so great as to be beyond computation. But European ' nations also realize that tbee islands are valuable, and will un doubtedly want a finger in the pie if the Philippines are to become spoils of war. The-principle of the Monroe Doctrine, that no nation of the world shall acquire territory on the Ameri can continents, will undoubtedly be construed to imply the contrary that we must keep Our hands J off the ' old world. The question then to be decid ed will be whether this can be stretch ed to mean insular territory. You invite disappointment when yon experiment..

Some Hospital Work. Selected. A concession has been made to wo men doctors in Russia, for it has been officially announced that hencefor ward they shall be equally entitled with men to all State privileges con nected with their profession. This in cludes both political and social rights ; it will open to them all official posts, and will entitle them to pensions which will not be taken away by mar riage, and may descend to their chil dren. With women's progress in po litical and social freedom and in edu cation, the young Empress has great sympathy, and she is said to have had a good deal to do with the concessions just granted to women doctors. "If your brass. bedstead tarnishes," said a dealer in beds and bedding, "you can send it to a repair shop and have it newly lacquered for anywhere from $2.50 to $5. It will look" as well as new and last as long." He said it in all gravity, but there was a sort of expression in his eye which suggested a hidden meaning and aroused curiosity. "How do they do it?" "Why fhould I tell you a trade Re secret?" he replied. "But after all, this is hardly a trade secret ; it is com mon to so many trades; all those which use brass fittings, in fact. Tbe gas fitter and the picture frame maker, as well as the furniture man, the deal er in grates, the candlestick maker as well, all make use of it. Nearly all brass works, except that on shipboard is lacquered to prevent corrosion and avoid the labor of frequently polishing. The lacquer is simply gum shellac dis solved in alcohol. This makes a thin varnish, which is applied with a small paint brush. Ten cents' worth of. ma terials will lacouer vour brass bedstead, and an ordinary workman, will do the job inside of an hour at a total cost of from 35 to 60 cents." Miss Hastie, a Scotch woman, is about to undertake a scientific expedi tion to the South Sea. Fifteen wo men have signified their intention of joining tbe expedition, for which a barkentine is being fitted in Sydney harbor. Miss Hastie proposes to make scientific collections and to take me teorlogical observations. Miss Prince, a botanist, will bo in the party, and conchology and anthropology will be studied. They intend to visit the New Hebrides, tbe Friendly Islands and other groups. The New York Nation says that "first in importance among the more inti mate letters of Victor Hugo are those addressed to Mme.

Much as we ob jected to the earlier set, against these nothing is to be urged, for, while con finning the wife's noble hearted devo tion, they also establish beyond doubt the hearty appreciation of her merits by her oft-maligned husband."
