Aguinaldo Compelling Spain to “Make Good.” It will he remembered that Aguinaldo tregted with the Spanish at his Igglimlnin stronghold, Biacnabato, in the province of Bulacan, north of Manila, on December 14, 1897, and arranged with the authorities to retire from the confiict on the yment of a large sum of money. The sum agreed upon has often been asserted to be $400,000, but a prominent member of the revolutionary government recently as- sured me that the sum pre was $600,000, of which Aguinaldo received through bankers in ongko $200,- 000, and has never been paid the balance. The fact that certain reforms which Aguinaldo declared to have been promis- ed were not carried out gave him a plau- sible éxcuse to_take up arms again, and, t¢ judge from his actions since he began the new enterprise, he has not lost sight of the opportunity of recovering from the Spanish in one way or another the sum still due him. The same official who gave. me the information about the money added that whenever a Bgn.nkh officer came to treat with Aguinaldo du; the slege he was met by the question, “Did you bring me it ,0002" The reply was naturally in the negadt e ssed. emissary was unceremoniously —Manila Letter to the London Times, COMPENSATION OF SAVAGERY It Has Many Advantages Over Civilization. A STATE OF TRUE HAPPINESS HEALTH, STRENGTH AND THE JOY OF LIFE ATTEND IT. How the Old Spanish Conquerors Ac- counted for Conditions That Were Self Evi- dent. In the pre-scientific era savages were regarded as the happiest of mortals. The Spanish conquerors admitted the fact, but they assigned it to the visible protection of devils. Cartier and Drake and Raleigh agreed that men lived in America as in the Golden Age. Cook was perplexed by the felicity of those Very sinful islanders of the South Sea. Rousseau built his theory of human rights upon the innocent happiness of primeval man, and Voitaire wrote a tale, famous in its day, with this motif. Our Johnson would have none of it, of course, and presently the reaction set in. It was proved by deductive argu- ment that the savage is ‘a miserable oreature—sad, weakly, a prey to dis- ease; in all respects inferior to civilizea man. There are plenty of people who hold this view still, though the wise have ceased to rely on deductive argu- ments in matters of the sort. It is comforting for humdrum townsfolk to believe that those who dwell, seemingly without a care, amid the glories of the tropics are really far worse off than themselves. To envy—though uncon- scious—I attribute the ready acceptance and the obstinate survival of state- ments which are only true, in fact, of a tiny percentage among the savage peoples, if at all. It is allowed even to & proverb that the supreme compensation for misery is health, and so this is denied in the first place. But it may be asserted roundly that every disease of an epi- demic character by which savages are afflicted has been introduced by white men. The Hottentots were almost the lowest; very few of them remain now. In 1674, when they abounded, a terrible unknown malady assailed them, and Governor Goske drew up a report upon the subject. It states that the Hotten- tots did not suffer from any particular disease until the arrival of Europeans. Many reached a great age. Famine lessened their numbers periodically, but it was not attended by fever; this is striking testimony to their soundness of constitution, for the consequences of dearth generally claim more victims than the dearth itself. We have de- populated whole countries with smail- pox, measles, scarlet fever, consump- tion, and I know not how many plagues, but has it ever been alleged that the poor savage imparted one to us? The origin of leprosy is mysterious, even if we agree upon the form of dis- ease so described, but all the white per- sons who have ever taken it in India, China and South Africa could be count- ed in hundreds only, perhaps in scores. Rheumatism is hardly known among the peoples who go naked, affections of the nerves belng quite unknown. Even toothache will rarely be heard of, still more rarely seen. But the most efficient tests of general health are fine build, muscular strength and readiness of the flesh to heal under injury. Upon each of these points the evidence is overwhelming in favor of savages. There are races of low stat- ure among them, as throughout the far East, but Rajah Brooke could find plenty of his subjects under 5 feet 3 inches in height who would hold their own in a trial of strength against Bu- ropean athletes. Joke, the Kennowit warrior who carried Walter Watson in a chair seven miles over a jungle path, with one halt of ten minutes, was very little over 5 feet. Watson weighed fully sixteen stone—I knew them both. But most of the savage tribes show a stat- ure and a chest equal to those of Eu- ropeans, when not superior. Humboldt pronounced the Indians of the Orinoco the finest specimens of the human race. Of their neighbors on the Amazon Wal- lace says: “The development of the chest is such as I believe never exists in the best-formed Europeans, exhibit- ing a splendid series of convex undula- tions, without a hollow in any part of it.” 1In spite of drink and degradation the physique of the Indians in the United States is still above the average of whites. The Zulu is almost becoming a proverb for superb development, but other Kaffirs equal him, and the biggest group of men I ever saw were bastard Griquas, belonging to some nomadic families, encountered when I lost my way on the veidt by Campbell Grounds. But the most tremendous creatures in my experience are Kroomen. In aver- ageé height they do not equal the Pa- puan giants of New Guinea, but their breadth of shoulder is almost a de- formity. Power of muscle is not necessarily a sign of health, but it demands a note. Drake was a cool-headed man and truthful above all, but he wrote that the Indians of California are “common- 1y so strong of body that that which two or three of our men could hardly bear one of them would take upon his shoulders and without grudging carry it easily away. up hill and down hiil, an English mile together.” One is em- barrassed by the choice of testimony as to the muscular powers of the negro, and in truth it is not required, for every one has friends somewhere In Africa, I have mentioned the astounding feat of the Dyak Joke within my own knowl- edge; the present Rajah Brooke and Mrs. McDougall refer to it in their books. But other Dyaks saw nothing wonderful in the achievement. Hum- boldt weighed: the loads of ore which Indian serfs carried to the surface from a vast depth underground in Mexico. He himself was tired for the day with one journey, empty-handed. But those Indfans brought up 240 to 380 pounds or stone every time, and they worked without a pause from dawn to sunset. Humboldt's observations on the absence of dwarfs, hunchbacks and deformed persons in general among the Indians of America, and their length of life, are to the point. I have no room for details; perhaps the editor will allow me to deal with them another t.me. Briefly, however, deformities are very rare among all savages, and Humboldt will not admit the e:‘: explanation that children so afflicted die in infancy; but of course he speaks only of the Indians he studied. As for length of life, there is plenty of evidence. I refer the reader, for instance, to a most interesting re- port issued the Native Department of Cape Colony in 1875, summarized by Mr. Theal in his histery, since I have not spaee to quote it. But to my mind the clearest proof of vital force is shown in the ty and ease with which l‘w in 1 re- cgver from hurts would be fatal to white men. My attention was drawn - when I saw a had loaded a "nie chest, e cause the keeper of the opium Oflil‘: fused him more credit. Slnqg‘that time I have been noting evidence when it chanced to come before me, but it will be better to use the statements of au- theritfes here. Dr. Junker tells how a courfer in the Soudan crawled into camp with his stomach lald open, hav- ing been attacked when asleep. A com- rade replaced the contents and bound him up. “To my great surprise the wound was almost completely bealed in a few days.” Carl Bok saw a Malay with a piece of his skull cut off—the brain was bare. They tted on the frag- ment with a dressing of serpents’ fat, and “In three weeks he was all right; a European would have been three years or more, if he had lived.” A similar case was attested by Bisho~ McDougall, M.D. After an action with pirates one of them was brought on board with the top of his head sliced off, adhering only by a morsel of skin. The Bishop lifted it and made a brief but interefting observation of the brain; it did not seem worth while to treat a hopeless case when there were so many wounded. At the evening meal, however, he saw this man eating rice among the crew, with a bit of rag | to hold his skull together. In a few | days the skin had joined all round. The Rev. Mr. Pritchard, to whom anthropology and folk-lore owe &0 much, declared that “wounds which in a white man would quickly bring on inflammation and even mortification in these Samoans are healed by simple | daily bathings and cleanliness.” A youth was shot through the chest near | his dwelling. “As he breathed the air | seemed to come from the wound.” But “in ten weeks he was as well as ever he was.” The good man did not under- stand this at all; it cannot be sald that we understand now, but wide experi- ence has taught us that it is the rule with savages. Of the Soudanese Sir Charles Wilson wrote: “These negroes are really like bits of indiarubber. It is perfectly extraordinary tc see how they bear wounds and how rapidly they heal up.” And Captain Younghusband wrote in Chitral: “There is no doubt Asiatics stand wounds inflicted by a sword or bullet infinitely better than Europeans. A wound that would kill a European, or at any rate lay him up for months, affects these hardy and ab- stemious mountaineers in a very much less gevere manner. Imagine having the whole lock of an exploded gun blown into ene’s shoulder and goinz about as if nothing had happened. velcus cases of recovery,” etc. Health, strength and long life are some of the compensations of savagery. —Pall Mall Gazette.

When only a one-cent stamp IS affixed the party receiving the letter 'is obliged to pay one cent due. MOVING A BRICK BUILDING—J. R., Antioch. This correspondent wants to know if there ever was a brick building moved in San ‘Francisco without be- ing taken down. He is informed that in 1865 or 1866 at the time that Kearny street was widened, south of Broadway, from 45:5 to 75 feet, a three-story brick struc- ture on the southwest corner of Kearny and Pacific streets was moved from the old line to the new line of the street, and the building stands there yet. Hydrosta- g: kpnwer was used to put the building ck. EXPECTORATING—A. §., City. It is not the duty of the Superintendent of Streets to enforce the ordinance against expectorating on the sidewalks of San Francisco. It is the duty of the police; to enforce that law, but it is not to be ex= pected that a policeman can note every one on his beat who violates that law. As a rule those who violate it do not do so when there is a policeman in sight. If you are a citizen you would have the ight to arrest any such violator and turn: im tover to the first policeman you would meet. COUNTING IN CASINO—N. N., City. If in a game of casino G has 8 points to: €0 and S has but 3 points to make, and It should appear that on the last deal G has eards, spades, litue casino and three aces, and § has big casino and one ace, G wins the game, as he has the right to count first by reason of having cards. The count is in the following order: Ca.rds‘i spades, big easino, little casino, aces an sweeps. In case no cards are out—that is, cach party having an equal number—the one who has spades counts first, and if he has enough points to carry him out he wins. BACHARACH-S., City. Bacharach is a red wine, so called from a town of the same name in the Lower Palatinate. Nu- remberg obtained its freedom at the price of four casks of this wine a year. The word Bacharach means the altar of Bac- chus. The altar referred to was a rock in the bed of the river which indicated to the vine growers what sort of a year they wmight expect. If the head of the rock appeared above water it meant that the season would be a very dry one, and that a fine vintage might be looked for; if not, it meant a wet season, bad for the grapes. WAR TAX—G. L. R, City. What is known as’the war revenue tax law says: “Bank check, draft or certificate of de- posit not drawing interest, or order for any sum of money .rawn upon or issued by any bank, trust company, persoms, companies or corporations, at sight or on demand, 2 cents. “Promissory notes, except bank notes issued for circulation, and for each re- newal of the same for a sum not exceed- ing $100, 2 cents; for each additional $100- or_fraction thereof. 2 cents.” The party who draws the check is the one wha places the stamp on it. RUDYARD KIPLING—R., Philo, Cal. Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India, in 1865. His father was John Lock- wood Kipling, for many years head of the Mayo School of Industrial Art at La- hore; also curator of the Government Mu= seum. Rudyard was sent to a prepara- tory school in Lancashire, and after spending some years in school at Westward Ho, in Devonshire, he went baek to India in 1880 as sub-editor of the Lahore Civil and Military Gazette. His only profession has beon that of writing for the press. After writing many of the poems that have made him famous_ he settled with his bride in Brattleboro, Vt. atm}_l devoted himself to writing short stories, TO JOIN THE NAVY-O. K., City. Having been informed that you cannot Jjoin the navy because you are not a citi- zen, and being a_minor and still desirous of joining, you had better declare your | inténtion fo” become a citizen under tha following provisions of the naturalization laws, and then you can join: Any alien under the age of 21 vears who has resided in the United States three years, preceding his arriving at that age, an has_continued to reside therein to the time he may make application to be admitted a citi= zen thereof, may, after he arrives at the age of 21 years, and after he has resided five years within the United States, incuding the three years of his minority, beé admitted as a citi= zen. POPULATION OF GERMANY—Fritz, City. The population of the German Empire is given in 1895, the latest figures published, as 52,246,550, divided as follows: Prussia, 31,849,7%; Heligoland, 208; Bava- ria, 5,797414; Saxony, 388,0l4; Wurtem- berg, 2.08059S; Baden, 1725470; Hesse, 1,039,388; Mecklenburg-Schwerin, 59,8337 Saxe-Weimar, 38,857, Mecklenburg-Stre . 101,513; Oldenburi, 373.73%; Brunswick, 431.986; Saxe-Meininger, 234.005; Saxe-Alten 180,012; Saxe: 6,624; Anhalt. 293,193; Schwarzburg-Son- dershausen, 78218; Schwarzburg-Rudolf- stadt, 83,590; Waldeck, 57,982; Beuss (older line), 67,454; Beuss (younger line), 131,469; Schaumburg-Lippe, 41,224: Lippe, 134,617; Taubeck, 8,324; Bremen, 195.278; Hamburg, 861,632; Adsace-Lorraine, 1,630,986, IN SCOTLAND—C., City. By an act of 1894 a local-government board was con- stituted for Scotland, its president being the Secretary of Scotland, that offica being now filled by Right Honorable Lord Balfour of Burleigh, appointed June 28, 1895. Scotland has seventy-two represen- tatives in the House of Commons and six- teen peers in the House of Lords. At the time of the Union (1707) the Scottish church and the judicial system were left intact. Scottish'law differs in many nota- ble respects from that of England. The high court of justice includes a court of sessions for civil cases and a high court of justiciary for criminal offenses. The inferior jurisdiction is exercised by Sheriff courts, by borough magistrates and Jus- tices of the Peace (bailies). LEANING TOWERS—R., Philo, Cal According to one account the leaning tower at Pisa is 175 feet high; according to another it is 179 feet, and according to a third 183 feet. One asserts that it leans 11% feet and if the cornice is included 13 feet; another says 13 feet, and the other 14 feet. This Is a case where you ‘have all the figures and you can take your chofce. At Bologna, Italy, luers are two towers that lean, one, Torre di Asinelli, 22 feet high, which leans 5 feet from the perpendicular, and the other, Torre di Garisende, 138 'feet high, and § feet off the perpendicular. One account says that these towers, which are neas each r, lean toward each other, while another account embellished with a pho- togravure, shows that they lean from each other. At Esle in Venitia there is a Romanésque bell tower that s 12 fee® out of plumb, but the height is not given, The tower of the church of San Nicolo = Pisa has a slight but perceptible incli= nation; the church tower of San'Benedeto at Farrara, Italy, and the clock tower of the palace of tu.
