Excerpt from A Woman's Journey Through the Philippines The difficulty discovered, it must be local ized. A hush falls over the ship. Down to the testing room go the experts. Seconds, minutes, hours crawl by. At last some one leaves the consultation for a brief space, frowning heavily and apparently deep in thought. No one dares address him, or ask the questions all are longing to have nu swered, and when his lips move silently we know that he is muttering over galvanometer readings to himself. During this time every one talks in whispers, and not always intel ligently, of the electrostatic capacity of the cable, absolute resistances, and the coc i Cients of correction, while the youngest mem ber of the expedition neglects her beloved poo'dle, sonorously yclept Snobbles, and no longer hangs him head downward over the ship's rail.

Excerpt from Barbara's Philippine Journey The two books of Jane Andrews, however, Seven Little Sisters and Each and All, have shown the possibilities in this field when a master hand works it. Their two most striking merits are, first, that they do not deal with the earth alone, - the most common fault in most treatments, - but with the earth in relation to man; they center the interest in personalities, and might, in fact, be called biographical studies of geography second, the facts are presented in story form, with a style causing them to take rank as literature. One of the great needs in this field is that of more books of this sort. The story of Barbara's Philippine Journey bids fair, I believe, to be classed with these two books of Jane Andrews. It covers different ground with a very different plan. But it likewise pre sents the facts in relation to a child, and in a style that is even more simple than that of Jane Andrews, while being very attractive.

Excerpt from A Woman's Impressions of the Philippines When we returned to the deck, it was crowded with passengers, the mail was coming aboard, and all sorts Of bugle-calls were sounding, for we were carrying casuals. It was a matter of wonder that so many persons should have gathered to bid adieu to a pas senger list recruited from all parts Of the Union. The dock was black with people, and our deck was densely crowded. Khaki-clad soldiers leaned over the side to shout to more khaki on the dock. An aged, poorly dressed woman was crying bitterly, with her arms about the neck of a handsome boy, one of our cabin passengers; and all about, the signs Of intense feeling showed that the voyage marked no light interval Of separation. I stood at the forward rail of the promenade deck, and fell into conversation with a gentleman whom I had met in San Francisco and who was a fellow passenger. We agreed in being glad that none of our relatives were there to see us off; but, though we made much ado to seem matter-of-fact and quite strong-minded about Oxpatriating ourselves, I noticed that he cleared his throat a great deal, and my chin annoyed me by a desire to tremble.
