tf passed It would at least have made
it possible to put people in Jail for
buying or selling human flesh. At
all events it was passed, in due time,
by the Philippine Commission with
slight amendments. Meanwhile the
Philippine Assembly had come Into
existence, the Philippine Commission
had ceased to be the sole legislative
body of the Islands, and unexpected
trouble arose.
To the utter amazement of myself,
at least, that body not only refused
to pass It but refused even to give It
serious consideration.
I made a brief statement of fact,
relative to our failure to get legisla
tion, in my annual report for 1912,
and added the recommendation that
Congress be appealed to If the As
sembly failed to act. When this had
once more occurred I prepared and
published an official document in
which I specifically charged the ex
istence of slavery and peonage In the
Philippine Islands, citing numerous
specific cases of each, and urged that
the facts bo brought to tho attention
of Congress and that an appeal be
made for Congressional action. The
Philippine Commission then passed a
resolution asking the Governor-General
to recommend to tho Secretary
of War that Congress be requested to
enact the necessary legislation.
The list of cases of slavery and
peonage which I have published is a
sample list, not an exhaustive one. I
am prepared to furnish evidence of
many more.
At this writing tho Philippine As
sembly Is doing some hurried legisla
tion in the matter, but unless the long
arm of Uncle Sam Is vigorously exer
cised slavery and peonage will con'
tinue to flourish In the Philippines
as it has in the past and as they do
today.

To clean white feathers of any
description at home at an exceedingly
small cost, take gasoline and plaster
of Paris and mix the two together to
the consistency of whipped cream. Dip
tne leathers in this mixture, squeez
ing and pressing them; then hang
in the open air for a thorough drying
until all of the gasoline has evap
orated. Be sure not to handle until
perfectly dry. Then shake well, and
the result will be a beautifully clean
and fluffy feather. White wings can
also be treated in this manner.
Of course, great caution should be
taken not to use gasoline in a room
where there is a fire of any kind. Nor
should it be used where there is a
draft, as the friction of rubbing will
oftentimes cause it to- ignite. M. C,

A good substitute for a cedar chest
Is to line a trunk or box with clean
newspapers. Gather together many
cigar boxes, separate the little boards
and take the nails out. Place a layer
of these small boards over a layer of
paper and pack In the clothes. Then
place another layer of newspapers and
another layer of tho little boards. The
cigar boxes are made of cedar and re
tain the odor of the tobacco and tho
smell of printer's Ink Is not agreeable
to moths. W. C. P., Fargo, N. D.
At each end of the kitchen table,
put a row of large brass cup hooks.
From these hang egg-beater, salad
fork, and spoon, potato masher, small
strainer, kitchen scissors, brush for
greasing pans, measuring cup, enamel
mixing spoon, etc. Raise the table by
placing blocks under the legs to a
proper height and work In the kitchen
will be a pleasure. J. F. H., Roxbury,

When washing shaped pieces like
collars and cuffs, a good Idea Is to
placo them on the Ironing board before
wetting and draw the outline with a
lead pencil. Then spread on the board
in the same place, when ready to press,
and the pencil marks will be a guide
for the original shape. J. A. S., El

Amateur Philology
yo hold down successfully the Job of
1 Vice-President of tho United States,
one does not have to bo up on Oriental
languages. So the Honorable Thomas
R. Marshull never hesitates to tell this
on himself.
It was at a reception in Indianapolis,
which took place when tho Bulgarian
army was driving the Turks out of
Thrace. Tho battle of Kirk Kellsseh
had just been fought.
"Odd name that Kirk Kellsseh,"
said tho Vice-President, then Governor
of Indiana. "It means 'Forty Churches
or rather, mosques. Now, isn't it queer
that the world 'kirk,' which, as wo all
know, stands for 'church' In the Scotch
vernacular, and which appears In Ger
man and other languages of Northern
Europe, should havo precisely the same
meaning in Turkish. It makes us
wonder whether all tongues may not
have had a common source, and it that
is so it would probably bo found that
that source was In tho East."
There was murmured applause from
every one except an unobtrusive little
professor, who had been hovering near
tho group.
"Pardon me, Governor," he piped up,
"but your conclusions, while Interest
ing might be called or, a little mis
leading. It Is perfectly true that 'Kirk
Kellsseh' Is tho Turkish for 'Forty
Churches.' Dut it is the word 'Kells
seh' that means a place of worship,
while 'Kirk' means 'forty.'."
And tho professor was right.
