Knew He Wat Daad.
Some time after the occupation
of Manila by the American forces
one of the army officers was shown
through the old Spanish prison in
that city. He noticed a small open
ing through a brick wall. Upon
asking its use he was told that pris
oners were placed in a cell behind
it and walled up alive.
"You see, senor,” said the guide,
"as long as the prisoner lived his
food was handed in on a plate, and
he handed the empty plate back,
but when he handed the plate back
with the food on it untouched, then
the jailer knew he was dead and
didn’t give him any more.”

Eastern standards of beauty dif
fer, like the customs, from those of
the west. In Malacca, we are told,
the small waist and velvet eyes do
not count, but instead the length of
the neck ia the criterion of beauty.
The girl of Malacca at a very early
age is fitted with a metal collar,
which compels her to keep her head
erect, and as she grows the collar
is increased in size, and by this
means the neck is gradually elon
gated.

When you have nothing to glvs In

Do you not always find your homa
merchant ready and willing to let his
goods go on promises, not guaranteed
notes, but verbal promises, trusting to
your honesty and good luck In meeting
the obligation later!
How many farms have been paid for
by your merchants advancing both the
goods necessary to keep life In the

Interest on the mortgage?
Under the same conditions would
the farmer trust the merchant for
