BITTER IN THEIR COMMENT.

Madrid, Aug. 15.-El Pals prints the
text of the protocol signed, by the
United States and Spain with mourn
ing borders and says: Spain, without
colonies, is reduced to the role of a
third-rate power"
FL lmparciai says: peace will not
bring to Spain even the rest she so
much needs after three years and u
half of war;" .yr
Ell Nacion says, bitterly: "If Spain
had at least been vanquished only after
furious and heroic struggle she could
resign herself. Peace with the United
States will only be. momentary
respite from our misfortune" -
Ell Liberal says the article in the
protocol relating to the Philippines
does not indicate that anything too
good for Spain will be fixed upon. and
the question will not be settled favora-

end of the war;"
London, Aug. 15.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
The comments of the press on the pro-
tocol are veritable funeral hymn on
the destruction of the Spanish colonial
empire. Some days ago the desire for
peace made the people close their eyes
to the price. but now, upon reading the
protocol, they realize that the cost is
the loss of that empire which Spain had
conquered with SO much glory. and
that Spain now falls to the second rank
among nations. The public mind is
stunned. and there is general mourn

Washington. Aug. 13.-With sim
plicity in keeping with republican in
stitutions, the war which has ragged be-
tween Spain and the United States for

two days was quietly terminated at
% minutes past four o'clock Friday
afternoon when Secretary Day for the
United States and NJ. Cambon for
Spain, in the presence of President

SHORT sight is more common in town
than among country folk, for the sim
pie reason that townspeople have less
need for long sight, they have fewer
opportunities for exercising their
sight on distant objects, and their oc-
cupations do not favor its develop
ment by training or selection. but it
is not, in the majority of cases, proof
of physical degeneracy, as can be seen
in the case of the Germans, who are q

Two Pointed Ouest!ous Answered.

What is the use of making a better article tn an your competitor if you cannot get better price for it?
 Ans,-As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on q single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate.
 How can you get the public to know your make is the best?
 If both articles are brought promi- nently before the public both are cer- tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one.
