There are very few men in America who are wealthy enough to retain a ma n to look after their clothes and generally perform the duties cf factotum. Men N1ho need this sort of attendance object to having their wives wait upon them and consequently quite fad has arisen of late of trainirly ones chamberma.d or parlcr maid to perform the dulles of a valet. The ideal ma2-servant is the military one who has been trained to explicit obedience ard nevsr thinks. Here is the praise a man was once he I'd giving his military servant: He's capital fellow; alwsy5 kEiows where you keep thing ard puts it there. Give you my word, if you were to put half a brick on your dressing table, there tlrat brick would say tll you blessed him for leaving it. He'd dust it and rIace it four-square carefully, convinced that since you put it there it answers some purpose in your eyes"

spain's Futile Waste or Men

From the Spectator.
 The magnitude of the sacrifices made by Spain in her attempts to subdue her revolting colonies is seen in the official figures issued by the Spanish minister of war; The following forces were sent ,ss S gn Thpeen ptessg exosoas amd 1S1,7sS men, e,2el officers, and forty gen. erals; And ei guns and 12 quiclx-firing guns. If this tragedy of X nation were not so infinitely pathetic, there would be something comic in these forty generals utterly helpless before a mob of ragged insurgents. Though only some 1sO,006 men and officers are enumerated fiji this list, 1t does nqt aGeo4pt for the expedition was sent there was already a large Spanish army in the island. The total, then, is probably 220,000 men. The figures as to the Philippine Islands are approximately almost as bad. To the Philippines were sent 27,76S soldiers

first, willing to be taxed to almost any amount. The farmers found & new and great market in the town of Johannes burg; they received larga sums in ex- change Tor claims on their farms; the poNsrty-stl'icken land became rich in year. Up rose the beautiful sitafe house; the staff of officials was greatly ihcreas-d; no more were the clerks paid an bacon and cheese, and Dom Paul he gan himself to draw a salary commen- surate with his dignity. It is a dlspro- portionate salary, if one thinks of what tf'a president of the United States gsts MT. Kruger gets $40,00 year and S1 GOO coffee money a little allowance to enable him to offsr refreshments to vis- itors.
 But it must not be imagined that ths president suffered in the days of ad- VerSsty. He paid limssh in land, and owns vast tracts of the best land in the gardsn of South Africa" Nobody Knows how rich he is. His real estate in creases in value every day But he has deserved it. He has borne tha burden and heat of the day, and stood in the breach when his countIys wall was stormed, as no other man in the Trans vaal could have done.
 It is not nscs sssary here to discuss the treatmant of the president of the Uit- flanders, the people who have made the country So rich In connection with the election, however, ona thing should be remarked. Neither MT. Kruger nor Gen. Joubelt thought it necessary, in the last campaign to visit Johannesburg. It is the largest, richest most important town in the republic, but 1t is inhabited by Uitlandews-who are not allowed to vote. In a presidential election, therefore, Jo- hannesburg is practically ignored.
 Paul Kruger is growing very old, but he is still a man of ambitions, and he will never voluntarily relinquish office. He will contest again, if cont=st is necessary. He is more to the Transvaal than Diaz is to Mexico, almost as much as George Washington was to the United States.

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

Today, the anniversary of his nata
day, is celebrated the memory of thai
eminent man and patriot Thomas Jeffer.
son-one whom the present generation
still love to venerate, over half century
after his passing away,and man whose
principles are emulated with pride by
the country's patriots at the present
time. Thomas Jefferson grew prominent
working for the welfare of his native
land in the hour of her darkest trials.
His broad minded craftsmanship placed
him foremost in the ranks of those who
battled for the upbuilding of the Republic
which was to eventually sway the world
by its exposition of Democratic princi.
pies. As the third president of the
United States he conducted an admins.
tration which must compel admiration
throughout all time to come. Personal
aggrandisement played no part in that
noble conduct which is today venerated
by patriots and men. Let there be many
Jeffersons to succeed him in protecting
the welfare of this republic.
