CLUB NOTES

MRS. BELMONT TALKS. The following dispatch from Washington is of interest to club women: In a speech made before the annual meeting of Associated clubs of Domestic Science, in the Hotel Plaza. Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont declared woman's sphere of duty is not limited to the four walls of her home, but to the uplift of mankind in geueral. In part, Mrs. Belmont says: "If we simply produce a "home hygienieally perfect, und a race physically superior, we are not meeting the obligations of the new century, which demand a larger conception than can be secured by the limited care of the individual. Our obligations extend to the community, and I cannot accept that a woman's duties are limited to the four walls of her home, any more than a man's to his business career. "There is the commonwealth to be considered: the political household to be regenerated. I know this never can be brought about except through the assistance of women. "The necessity for the power which she will bring is being forced upon the nation, and the recognition of this is inevitable. I appeal to each woman individually, and I ask her if she is not constantly realizing how her natural forces are being cared for by her inferior status in public life. "I ask, then, what right you have to sit in your homes beautiful leaving the welfares of the community to overburdened men? "In the name of woman suffrage, I ask you to come forth, secure your rights as citizens, and with the men of your country assume the duties of the commonwealth." EVENING PARTY FRIDAY. The members of the Athenaea Literary society will give an evening party Friday at the home of the Misses Moorman. 122South Sixteenth street. The affair will be in the nature of a costume party, each person representing an advertisement. A number of guests have been invited. GOOD CHEER CLUB.

THE FOOLISH CHILD.

Story of a LittU Boy Who Lived In a Glass Houso. There wot once a little boy who lived In a house all made of glass. lie lived with his mother and bis father and his nurse, and he used to have a lovely time sliding on the glass floors. And everything went well while he was good, but one day he wasn't. He was cross. When he slipped on the glass door, instead of thinking it fun he was angry, and when be went down to breakfast he slid down the glass banisters, which he ought not to have done. And be spilled bis milk on the glass table and made marks all over the glass walls with soap. And finally he looked out of the win 1 mean the wall. for. of course, all the walls were windows and saw some children playing and making lots of noise. That made him crosser, so he went down to the back yard and collected a lot of stones and went upstairs again and threw them at the children, which was the naughtiest thing yet. He couldn't dodge out of sight because the whole wall was glass, so when the children looked up they saw him there. They were quite Indignant, so they picked up the stones and threw them back at the little boy. They hit the house in all directions and made such alarming jagged holes that the little boy's mother and father came running In and. taking the little boy's hands, ran downstairs and out as quickly as possible. The minute they got outside their beautiful bouse collapsed completely. The father shook his head. "We'll have to take a brick cottage," he said. "Oh. my boy. don't you know that people who live In glass bouses shouldn't throw stones?" Chicago News. MOVING PICTURES. A Homemade Apparatus That Will Provide a Good Show. Simple moving pictures may be made as follows: Hang a sheet across an open doorway, the wider the better; seat your spectators on one side of the sheet and set up your apparatus on the other that is. in another room. From a large sheet of cardboard cut out your figures. Two or three will be enough, but they should be different and as funny as you can make them. If you cannot draw, paste pictures from comic papers on the cardboard and cut along the outlines of the figures. Place a light behind the cardboard and put out the other ligbts in both rooms. The figures will appear on the sheet as bright patches surrounded by darkness. The darkness is the shadow of the cardboard, and If it does not cover the sheet the cardboard must be patched out with other pieces. Two lights will give you two groups of figures on the sheet, and so on. and the figures will not become less bright as yon multiply them. A simple and very effective arrangement of ligbts is shown In the illustration.

PHILIPPINE PRODUCERS ARE REAPING THE BENEFITS OF THE RECENT TARIFF LAW INTERESTING REPORT.

Washington. D. C, Dec. 13. Citizenship, without seriou3 inconvenience to the individual, should be extended to those who desire it in Porto Rico, according to General Clarence R. Edwards, Chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, in his annual report to thj Secretary of War. Whether this be done by an act conferring in itself United States citizenship on the whole tody of citizens of Porto Rico, or by an act enabling them by the performance individually of some simple preliminary acts to become American citizens without delay, is a mere matter of detail for congress to work out, said General Edwards. "It is hoped that the grant of citizenship may be regarded simply as an act of justice and performed in an open and unequivocal manner," concludes the chief of the bureau. Commerce Growing. The commerce of the island shows on the whole a continuous and encouraging growth, it is pointed out in the report. The exports for the fiscal year just passed amounted in value to over $30,000,000 and imports to over S2o.OiO.noa. The imports from the United States amounted to over OOO.OOO. General Edwards comments at length upon the recent tariff legislation of the United States, whereby goods from the Philippines, except rice, may be shipped to the United States free of duty under certain limitations. "It is believed that the people of the Philippines have every reason to be content with the new tariffs, and that there will result from them that prosperity in the islands which should be the result of their relation to the United States," says General Edwards. "The net result so far has been to in

crease the price paid to the grower

for his leaf tobacco lO per cent. Tho price received by the producer of sugar has increased 25 per cent. These are increases which may be attributed wholly to the true trade relations, fluctuations in the world's markets having been eliminated." Philippine Exports. , General Edwards says the rate up to date of the importation into the United States of Philippine cigars has been at the rate of about 7.",O00.0(o per year, or one half the limit for free admission. The effect on the American industry, he adds, of this importation, "may well be judged by the fact that these cigars may be found only with the greatest difficulty." The imports of the Philippines during the last fiscal year was over 27.-

OOO.OOO. American goods constituted

17 per cent of the total value of Philippine imports. General Edwards predicts that under the new free trade
