March 3L Slnce my return from Asia -I havs received many requests for special information about the Phil ippine Islands. Most of them are from young men -who -wish to try their for tunes and not a few- are from small capitalists irith money to Invest. It seems to me the time is ripe for such men. Until now there -was little chance to go about from place to place with out soldiers, but the Islands are gradu ally settling down, and within a year prospectors 'should be -able to travel any where. "Within the past month, a big syndicate hsxs been formed to develop Mindanao. The syndicate Is composed of millionaires living at New York and San Francisco, and its plan Is to col onize the Island and open it up to set tlement. ;tt has an authorized cap'itai of 5500.000, with the possibility of in creasing It indefinitely. "An Undeveloped Empire. Mindanao is one of the least developed t)f our Islands. It is as big as the state of Ohio, and its soil is as rich as that Of Java. It will" raise coffee, cinchona and rubber and excellent cattle. I saw fine sfcogk at Zamboanga and about Cot Jabato. Near Davao, In the eastern end of the island, I visited enormous hemp plantations, and in the west saw bananas ,and coffee luxuriantly growing. Tho j country is susceptible of great agricul tural development. The most of it is covered with forests of the finest hard ,-woods. and it is so watered that the j timber can be easily floated down to the boast. After the lands are cleared they ,wiu maKo good sugar plantations. "We aave a Government farm at Zamboanga .where sugar is grown, which has at Itimes brought in as much as $20,000 per year to the Spaniards. The Timber of the Philippines. , This new syndicate will open up the , timber lands. These belong to the Gov ernment, for it practically controls the Corests of the Philippines. It has. it (ls estimated, about 50.000,000 acres of ivirgin timber, including trees from one to two hundred feet high and over four feet in diameter. In Manila I frequently saw tables whose tops were made of a Elngle board of nara or Filipino mahog- .j r.wi jukwuicu xuur ana nve ieet In diameter. The floors of the prlncl- I pai Duiiaings were or this same wood, laid in boards 1 feet wide and "20 or more feet long. I asked where ; we lumber yards were, and was shown one on the banks of the Paslg River. It was operated by ChinoFe, the logs being sawed into boards by hand with crosscut saws. I understand that there nre but two steam sawmills In all the islands, and that so far the forests are practically untouched. Some timber has been cut out by Indians under super intendence of Germans and English and shipped to Hong Kong and Shanghai, but as a rule the Spanish Government objected to such exploitation and levied taxes which prevented It One of the troubles the timber mer chants complain of is that they can not get the Indians to work without advancing about a year's wages, and this capital is sunk in the business. After the , first advance the workmen will labor to pay it out, then expect more, but they always keep from 560 to 5100 In debt. One timber man of Manila says that .his wood -cutters now owe him 511.000. and that he never ex pects to get it -back. Money In Mines. I should like to see our geological sur vey send out prospectors to the different parts of the Philippines. Nearly every Island has great mineral wealth. There are deposits of Iron, coal, lead, copper, silver and gold. In Northern Luzon there are copper mmes which were worked before Magellan discovered the Philippines, and the natives are getting copper out of them today. There are lead deposits In Cebu and silver on the Island of Marlnduque. I was told of an iron mountain, which exists not far from Manila . and one of our Army offi cers, a civil engineer, described to me a gold deposit which he discovered near San Mateo, within 10 miles of the :ity f , lt J7r3 ISLANDS WILL BE DEVELOPED vVVL - - "HWif 'Tin m a " "" x.

He says the lumps were picked from a strip about three miles wide and tpn TTlH lnnn TT tnlA v V. v..i staked out claims for himself and friends i upon it and that he eventually expected to raise capital and develop the property. If he is correct, that region may turn out to be a gold camp similar to Mercur, south of Salt Lake. There are also rich gold mines in" Min danao. I was shown gold grains about the size of wheat during my stay In "Western Luzon, and there is. no doubt WHAT TO EAT AND HOW IN this article I wish to say something about the theory of eating, start ing with the problem of how to cat. For this Is the simplest of all the prob lems in connection with food. It has been said (by Dr. Maudsley) that hewho cannot control his muscles cannot control his mind This Is most obvious In the care of the muscles of breathing. ! I The man who can only breathe the short, sharp, shallow surface breath Is, I believe, invariably incapable of controlling his mind. The man who can breathe the full. deep. upward breath through the nose is almost always self-possessed and self-controlled. But ihc saying applies also to the muscle? of mastication. He who Is Incapable of eating slowly Is incapable of controlling his mind. Mind, I do not say that "he who does not eat slowly," for there are many pcop!e who have control of their mind, and can eat slowly, but do not. Eat Leisurely if Yon Can. The great exponent of slow eating Is Mr. Horace Fletcher. His theory Is that we should never make an effort to swal low anything; we should chew each mouthful of food until it practically sw al lows Itself. I have tried this plan, and a mouthful of bread and cheese has taken me from 200 to 350 bites. A mouthful of j fruit has taken less. Eut to carry out this rule in public seeing to me hardly feasible. He who tried to carry it out would be perpetually kicked in imagina tion, If not actually; and imaginary kick ing is In some ways worse for the kicker than actual kicking. It Is such a strain to wish to kick a man, and not to be able to! Yet if any one could masticate In this way for a week he would be very far on the way toward complete control of his temper, to say nothing of his digestion. It is important to be able to eat thus. Not one in a hundred in an ordinary city cant j t . . . i and I suppose not one In a thousand in ! New York City can. Let us try to realize j a few of the advantages of this slow eat- : ing, not carried to such an extent but let ' us say coming nearer to Gladstone's rule oi aDomw Dites. or. of course, the num- I FIAT Wftllln nAnond S tk. lnll.tlJ..Al .1 ' -- """ "i"-''" "c muiviuuiii, me i -cu maiici wo iausi nave ai teeth, the food, etc. There may be some J ways.

And those who do eat fast might also Justify themselves by comparing them selves to the omnivorous pig, which cer tainly does gobble up the slush of the tub at a prodigious rate. But for most of - -, iw must ui i us slow eating is preferable. By careful j chewing we practice general self-control. patience and calmness: we get more taste for less money; we break up our food into small- portions, and so we save digestive and excretive energy.

There are a number of Callfor nlans and Colorado men who are now prospecting In Mindanao, and some of these claim thoy have made money. Sugar Plantations. I believe that greater fortunes can be made out of lands and especially sugar lands. During my stay in the Sand wich Islands and Java I visited some of the big sugar estates. They are oper ated with enormous capital and have mills costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The land is fertilized and thor oughly tilled, and with these methods the plantations are profitable. The I ausiir isaas oi me .fnmppincs are also profitable, but they are managed in the most wasteful AX4a.iii;i. x W2llfeU UI1C J such energy which we waste daily is in- calculable.

I know of some cases, however, where hot water drank during the meal ls of the. greatest assistance. Having pow considered how to cat, let us consider the .more difficult problem of what to eat A Theory of Proteld. "Science" at present means the opin ion's of leading authorities who have . . . J w . -6 .vTvV uuue or wao nave reaa aoouc certain ex- uuui, u. nanaiui or nee; ana wnen he con perknents. If you base your opinion on tlnucs tills day by day, and when we find ! .i i . A that this handful Of rl rnntnlno nnttilnr certain other requirements you may get a different result, which is said not to be "science." "Science" means the opinion of an accepted authority, who generally has to have the word "professor" before his name professors certainly do profess a great aeai ana tney like to put queer letters after their names. I say nothlnc !... against these "scientists," except that re- markably few live according to their the- orles, or according to the most obvious in- ferences of their theories. Concerning proteld Professor Sir ucnaei foster writes thus: "Pro- 4-ilj4 win.. . A . of a food. A diet rich In proteld seems to increase one's power of resisting disease. It seems to be necessary for the muscles and blood." Food has two functions. First of all, it has to provide fat and heat, as paper. kuuu uiiu cum pruvjue neat ior a lire.

The molasses was then drained off and the sugar allowed to granulate In clay Jars. There was waste everywhere, and notwithstanding this the profits were great "With modern machinery they should bo Increased at least four-fold. I met a planter near Angeles who is making 25.000 worth of sugar every year. He made 5S0O0 out of his rice crop, and all his farming Is done on the shares, the laborers receiving half.

Tn Vlf tixm ftmnt1fTt? rt frrA mAntlnnail let us add a third, to eet rid of wslrip. Th!s is, I believe, not to be found In any "scientific" book on the functions of food. And yet it obviously belongs to certain chemical "salts" to gather up the waste products and help to remove them. The acids will be removed by .the alkalis, to some extent. But we will leave the "salts" for tho present and confine our selves to proteld. What "Proteld" Docs. Proteld, If It has Its proper "salts," per forms a double function as food: It both ZT,JLV f ' T T , waste and makes d renews tho cells of provides fat and heat, and also repairs the body. Now fattening and heating ma terial, such as oil and starchy foods, can not perform this second function. They cannot repair waste and make and renew the cells of the body.

"We hear that a pen,ny savcd te a Penn sained; that ls &Z "? fitol etCV maK. be ' ; I'cimica. cui unless uiure were proteld to be saved there would bo no pennies to be saved. The proteld nro- vldcs the pennies which the fate may help to save. Therefore, protelds are indispen sable. How much proteld ls indispensable no one can possibly tell. It ls generally held, however, that abouT four or five ounces are enough for an average person on an averago day. All the experiments that have been made hitherto seem to me thoroughly unsatisfactory.

But, whatever may be the value of these other foods, we must never forget that the first rule Is' to take too much proteld rather than too little. This Is especially lmpor tant for children who are growing, and who, besides, take more exercise than their elders. They need. In proportion to their weight more proteld than we do. Further along In this article, figures are given showing that among the foods with high values, besides the flesh foods, are certain kinds of gluten, cheese, peas, len tils and nuts. The grains come below them. Last of all come the leaves and stalks and roots, such as cabbage and po tatoes.

It was on that estate that I saw them planting sugar. Two men were plowing with carabaos, and behind them came a crowd of women and srlrla dropping the cane. The soil was a little sandy, but It was as black as your boots and very rich. The cane was cut into pieces about six Inches long and laid In the furrows, eo that It made pipes of cane from one end of the field to the other. The women are paid for their work according to the amount they drop, the girls receiving about 10 cents a day. There are many plantations in the Val ley from Manila to Dagupan. The crop grows well In other parts of Luzon and In all the northern Islands, and there Is no BY EUSTACE MILES, M. A ASSISTANT MASTER AT RUGBY SCHOOL person be fat already, then there ls no need to add more until the extra fat has been reduced. Of all the fattening and heating mate rials, it seems that oil ls the slowest; that is to say, the most lasting. Oil can be had from butter or from nut products, or In the ordinary form of salad oil. This latter ls very hard to get fresh. Starch seems to come next, and to give energy quicker than oil. Sugar comes next, as giving It quicker still. "Scientists" seem to be generally agreed that some oil ls necessary for health, but oil Is rather ex pensive, though It can be extraordinarily valuable to the system In many ways, whether It be applied internally or exter nally. Starchy foods, especially as they are usually prepared and eaten, arc apt to ferment and to clog the system; ordinary sugar ferments also. And acid fermenta tion may be very disastrous to us. Food Vnlnes. In foods It is more Important to know how much we digest arid assimilate than how much we actually eat; and here (as elsewhere) the personal element ls all Important I know one food which gives Its full advertised value In certain cases, and next to no value whatever In certain other cases. Part will depend upon what Is taken with the food. It Is paid that tea may prevent the digestion of 33 per cent of proteld and of 33 per cent of starch. That is a serious consideration. A food which contains 30 per cent of pro teld and 30 per cent of starch may perhaps only give 20 per cent of proteld and 20 per cent of starch if we take tea- with It Cooking also alters tho value of foods; e- S; by removing or adding moisture. Haw beef contains about 20 per cent of proteld; roast beef about 34 per cent havlnir less waJprV T?nw har(int beans contain about 23 per cent; cooked haricot beans about 4.4 per cent (having more water.) Various breads and flours differ almost Incredibly from 20 per cent of proteld in the dryest crust to 1 per cent o rleps in the wettest crumb.

North American Review. It must be borne in mind that Germany Is, the birthplace of socialism, and that it has attained a higher development there than anywhere else. In 1877 the So cialists cast 493,000 votes at the Reichstag elections, as against ,tbi Center's 1,341.000, and against the National Liberals' 1,468, 000. In 1878 and 1879, owing to Bismarck's repressive measures, the Socialist vote dropped to 312,000. But from that time until the last general election, th?.t of 1S98, the. Socialist vote rose steadily and other parties gradually went down, and today some of these parties poll barely one-fourth of their former strength. The Socialists today are, In point of numbers, bv far the largest nartv. and nf Vi. -now general election thev will rpnh tho 9-ryi 000 mark, and possibly exceed it. doubt but that plantations would thrive In Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago. Rice ls the wheat of the Philippines. It ls the food of the people, and I saw rice plantations everywhere. Nevertheless, the Islands are often short of rice, and Import it to the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars. In Java the mountains are terraced and rice grows far up their slopes, the water being led from one flel4 to another by ir rigation works. In the Philippines the most of the rice lands are in the valleys, and they are worked after rude methods. Tho farming Is largely done on the shares, and for this reason you see hundreds In the fields at planting time all working together. Men, women and children come out from the villages to tend the little rice fields they have engaged to work. No one lives on his fields, and the farmers, as a rule, have" their homes In the vil lages. At reaping time you will see the same gang at work, and at the close of the day the roads are filled with women and men, each carrying home his share of the harvest. The- man usually has the larger load, and If he Is thrifty he may have a half-dozen sheaves or bundles of unthrcshed rice, each about a foot in di ameter. The harvest scenes are interesting. The rice grows Just like wheat, but It ls not cut with a reaper and mower, or even with a cradls or sickle. It ls clipped off, stalk by Btalk. with a little knife which Is held In the palm of the hand. The harvester takes a stalk of rice between his fingers and presses It against the "knife, thus cutting It oft. He then cuts another stalk the same way, and thus goes on until h!s sheaf ls of the right size. The rice grows to about the height of our wheat, but It ls cut off halt way up In order that the eheaves may be shorter, and so that It may bo the more easily stored and threshed. The threshing ls done by pulling the heads of the rice through saw-toothed knives and by treading It out with the feet I saw some threshing grounds where men were Jumping up and down upon the straw to thresh out the grain and others where they were driving water buffaloes about over It. In Panay thre-aro thresh ing platforms high above the ground, upon which the men and women tread out the rice, and where the strong winds enable them the more easily to get rid of the chaff. There are few grains which require so much labor as rice. Every stalk has to be grown In a seed bed and then set out separately In the muddy fields. The fields are flooded again and again. The stalks aro harvested as I have dscrlbed and -the rice threshed. After this the hulls have to be pounded from the stalks in mortars, so that altogether every grain costs much work. In raising rice on the" share, the first crop goes to the tenant. In the second the tenant gets half, and In the third only one-fourth. The crop ls always divided In the sheaf, the hulling and threshing bplng extra. The'hulllng is done by wo men in mortars, and the threshing is done at home instead of at the mlll3. The poor often have to borrow to put In their crops. They pay an interest rate In kind of as much as 100 per cent A man will loan his money on consideration of so many arobas of rice to be delivered at harvest time. He can go to the fields and get his Interest; this Is so much that It takes the profit, and the rice usurers thus keep the country poor. Cocoanut Plantations. There is one Investment in the Philip pines that requires but little hard work. This ls raising cocoanuts. The cocoa palm grows on all the islands, but some places better than others. On the Island of Jolo there are magnificent cocoanuts, and on Mindanao there are millions of fine trees. The trees are planted In regular order, and after seven years each yields about a score of large nuts every month. The nuts are allowed to drop of themselves. They are then picked up, husked and the meat taken out and dried. After drying the cocoanut meat ls known as copra, and Is ready for shipment to Europe or the United States. About 50,000 tons of this stuff were sent abroad In 1S97, and the probability Is that the shipments will shortly be many times this amount. The planters figure that every cocoanut tree should yield a net profit of one dollar a year, and as you can put a large number of trees on a small area a good cocoanut plantation means a fortune. I know of some men who have plantations of 20,000 trees or more, and who are rich from cocoanuts. The Golden Rope. I have already spoken of the money in hemp. This ls the most wonderful crop of the Philippines. It brings to the islands about $18,000,000 every year, and It forms the money crop of some of the largest of the Philippine states. There is an enor mous profit In the business; but, never theless, there are undeveloped hemp lands, and crops could easily be quadrupled. The lands which are under cultivation sell for high prices, but near them are other lands which can be gotten for a song, which need only a- little work to make them available. This ls especially so of Minda nao. I believe that the methods of cultivating and cleaning the hemp might be much im proved. At present, a large proportion of the crop goes to waste, everything con nected with It being done by hand. The plant ls much like the banana, and the hemp comes frcm the fiber of the leaves and stalks. It ls dried on the ground and shipped in bales to Manila. A good hemp crop ls Just as salable as so much wheat or rice. There is a regular demand for It, and It has Its fixed prices in the markets of Europe and the United States. Some of the estates are now paying 33 per cent t Railroads and. Electricity There will be .many railroads built In the Philippines within the next few years. Lines are already planned to open up the greater part of Luzon, and one especially profitable road will be along the Laguna de Bay and down into the southeastern provinces. This will bring the hemp to Manila, and give a thickly populated and rich section railroad access to the capital. There are also many opportunities for electrical development. The whole coun try ls one of mountains and valleys, and at seme future time the streams will be made to furnish the electric power for the sugar and other mills. Electric roads will be built, and a few of the cities will have electric llghls and car lines. These roads will throw open new lands to settlement, and here will be a chance for speculation. The Filipino is as smart as the American as far as his experience goes, dul ne nas no Idea of the Increasing values which come from railroads, and even after the railroads are planned one will be able to buy lands at low prices. There Is certain to be an Increase In real estate values almost .everywhere, and If one could eet nronertipn with e-nrtd HMo he is almost sure to make money. The trouble, however, ls that titles are often In doubt. Many of them are disputed by the priests, and consequently have to be bought at much risk. Little Clinnce for Poor 31c n. There ls one thing, however, that should be remembered by all who think of going to the Philippines. The country ls no place for those who have only brains and muscle to offer. The Filipinos make ex cellent bookkeepers and clerks, and they will work for half the wages of an Amer ican. Ordinary labor is poorly paid, and between tho Chinese and Filipinos there are few chances for Americans who work only with their hands. The same Is so with retail merchants. The trade Is almost altogether In the hands of Chinese, who can live more cheaply and sell closer than we can. There are limited openings for American law yers, doctors and dentists, and In fact for almost any of our professional men who will go to the Islands expecting to stay there and grow up with the country. There is plenty of room for syndicate Investments. Corporations and individ uals with large capital can easily place money where It will pay a big interest on long-tine Investments. Young men who have some money and business brains can find plenty of changeg to make fortunes, but they must go out and look over the ground for themselves, and expect to make the Philippines their home for eight or 10 years at least. . Indeed. It seems to me that our new pos sessions offer a most attractive field for such men. The Philippines are an em pire of undeveloped resources, which a3 soon as matters become quiet will go for ward on the seven-league boots of modern progress. The most of the country ls healthful, and in many parts the climate is better than that of the Southern United States. In the future every Island will be spotted with the homes of rich and well-to-do Americans, and I venture that the society there will be equal to that of any part of the United States. The Amer ican population will be rich, It wilL have good schools at home, and will also edu cate Its children abroad. It will, in short, be somewhat like the best society of the South In the days before the war. FRANK G. CARPENTER.
