LONDON, Aug. %. A dispatch
from Madrid says that Admiral Monte
jos report of his defeat by Admiral
Dewey on May l, has been made pub
lie. The report shows the Spanish
were ready for the Americans, but
were handicapped by the lack of pro-
per orders and the rapidity of the
American fire. He expected defeat,
but thought to infiict more damage on
the enemy. The report is considered
in the light of a vindication and there
probably will be no courtmartial for
cowardice as was at first suggested.

common among Spanish braggadocios.
Blanco declines to be interviewed,

expression of his views now would be
both improper and untimely. Great
satisfaction is expressed over Blan-
cos appointment on the commission

The American commission is calmly,

The Taking Of a Home.

It is often said that the making or
marring Of home lies with the wife,
and this is true If we add, with the hus-
band also.
Either sex has the power, though the
true home spirit must be created by the
wife; and once created she must see that
it grows until it is the ruling influence
IN that home Habits we learn at home,
and thoughts that have been instllled
INTO us there will remain with us Always
and influence us for good or evil.
What should home mean to us? The
dearest place on earth, the place where
we find comfort and sympathy, the place
where mother is; that Is the true home.
1t is so easy to find fault, so hard to
always look for the best in each mem
ber Of the family. But did you ever stop
to think what looking for the best really
means? Surely it means a continually
guarding of ones thoughts and an ear
nest desire to see some good in each per-
son we meet. And there is some good in
every one, even in hardened criminal.
This one habit is enough to re-create
any home, and every home needs some
FeCredJlng.
What power good home is and how
much it can do for our country!
There should be no restraint in the
home life. Every member should feel
that he is free to express himself as he
chooses, no matter what his views are
or how they may differ from those Of the
rest Of the family. The child gives the
parent the best aid to correction when
he speaks as he thinks.
The home should be attractive to the
eye, and by this Is meant not necessarily
elegant and expensive things, but neat
dainty, home-like things, such as any
woman can make and such as many
women know how 10 arrange to the best
advantage.
Point after point could be taken up,
but If we follow but one-"look for the
best in every one"-it would mean a
vast improvement in hundreds of homes.

English Women In Slavery.

Henry d. Lloyd, in the Boston Tray
eler, tells us of some of the pitiful meth
ods some Of the poor women Of England
are driven to in order to earn enough to
live. He says, as one instance:
1T is cruel sight, indeed, in Eng
land, to see females working at busl-
ness, making nails and chains, that not
only impoverishes and degrades, but un-
sexes and comparatively units them for
the duties of motherhood. In the town
OF BromsgroVe and Cradley Heath some
$4,000 nail and chain makers are females,
from IA to 20 years, the average wages
being about Is. per week, or about $1.75.
It beggars description to see these poor
semi-naked creatures, their clothes
burnt off their bodies by the flying, sput-
tering sparks Of the melting metal.
"This awful corporal strain and shock
ing enslavement is but too painfully evil
dent in their conversation. They know
little or nothing Of the tongue they are

When Friends Are Parted.

When Friends Are Parted.
Time keeps no measure when true friends are

No record day by day.
The sands move not for those who, loyal heart

True friendships laws obey.

The flight of days or years.
Memory depedds not on proof by vision
And has no foolish fears.
The migrant birds when they are southwark
flying
Think not Of time. They 90
Full Of knowledge, born OF faith undyings
That they again shall know
The homes and nests which they have left be-
hind them,
Not narred by change the while.
The southern lands they seek will but remind

And so know that you will come to meet me
In the old, well loved way;
That, though year go by, you still will greet
me
As kindly as today.

Old-fashioned women in many of our

liable drill given by the old-fashioned

Of them would, perhaps, fit better into

was just thinking Of the way women
Of to-day rush along, and hurry from one
thing to another, when l came across
an article in Harper's Bazaar, written by
Margaret Sutton Briscoe. 1t shows so
well how women have changed since our
dear old grandmoChers' time that think
1t worth giving 10 my readers:
suppose the gentle ghost Of one OF
our female ancestors were now allowed
to return to earth, and returning, long
to PICK up all the broken links where
they fell from her hands. How pltifully
and hOpelessly she would grope! She
might md IN the attic the great round
bottle on which she wound her drying
laces after delCately washing them, and
tanning, and patLing, and stretching the
light meshes, but she would find no laces
intrusted to her care. A professional
cleaner she would be gently told, does
these things better and very reasonable.
Nobody nowadays cleans laces at home.
so the little ghost, turned off in this
direction, might go to the work-basket
and ask for fine cambric to cut into
handkerchlefs and hem-stitch. Look at
the great counter of them, as delicate
as any one could wish, and not eXpen-
siVe. All ladies hemmed handkerchiefs
in the little ghosts day. The full stock
ing bag would revive her sinking cour-
age, but If her living descendant looked
over her shoulder at the CHASTITY darn
neither would there be any more darn
ing for the little spirit. That stocking
she darned only cost quarter to begin
with. 1t was surely not worth a new
heel! Quite two hours must have been
spent in the mending. If woman's
time is worth anything, it is worth at
least Is cents an hour. Thirty cents
worth of time spent on a 25-cent stock
ing Is not economy. 1t would be the
same with worn clothing, too The darns
OF our ancestors set on latter-day fabrics
would be an insult to the darn. 1t is
often cheaper to throw modern garments
away than to repair them.
But poor ancestral ghost, on whose
time NO value was set, not even Is cents
an hour, would never understand these
arguments. Anything that she could do.
in her day, to save money spending was
clear gain, because her time was of no
market value. She would, as soon as
she might, hurry back whence she came,
frightened and trembling at what she
found on earth, and with the feeling
that there was no place for her work in
this new world, because the only work
she knew how to do was all being done
by machinery and by professionals.
But 1t is not left for ghosts alone to
feel this sense of bewilderment and use
lessness In our new world. This new life
for women has come upon us too sud-
tenly to find all women prepared for the
hange. Some Of us are born too late,
some too early, and we find little
