Gen. Miles, with several brigades of
United States troops, has gone to
Porto Rico for the purpose of COM
mencing the invasion of that island,
and taking possession of the last of the
Spanish possessions in the Atlantic
ocean. The Monterey were given or
ders, before leaving San Francisco, to
stop and take possession of the Caro-
line Islands, on her way to the Philli-
pines, and thus raise the American flag
over the last of the Spanish possess
sions in the Pacific. Gen. Miles will
be reinforced by soldiers at Camp
Thomas, as we'll as strong naval de-
tachment from the North Atlantic feet,
which:will assist in the work of. taking
San Juan. The Monterey will prob
ably merely take possession of the
largest of the Canaries, and hold them
until relieved by American troops that
are now en- route for the PHILIPPINES.
Verify, old Spain is getting about all
the war she wants.

Commander wainwright of the Glou
cester was the executive officer of the
Maine when she was blown up in the
slime of Havana Bay. In the battle
of July Sd, when, Commodore Schley
sank every one of the Spanish vessels
that peeped out of Santiago harbor,
Commander Wainright, with his boat,
practically began the attack and put
on the finishing touches of the destruc-
ton of the two Spanish torpedo boat
destroyers. Mr.. wainwright, like Capt.
Sigsbee, remembered the Maine.

Admiral VonD iedrich of the German
navy in the PHILIPPINES, has succeeded
in making Admiral Dewey more
trouble in the harbor of Manila. The
Irene was passing Mariveles, off Ma
Mia, and the dispatch boat, Hugh
Mccullough, was sent after her to
ask her to stop. The Irene refused to
obey, and it was necessary to bring
the German to order by sending a
she'll across her bow. A few shot from
Dewey's ships would put great deal
of sense in the German admiral.

A MEDDLlN6 RULER.

The rattle-headed Emperor presid-
ing over the destinies of Germany has
been considerably in evidence around
the Philippine Islands, and has caused
Admiral Dewey more or less trouble
in Manila harbor as we'll as up in
Subic Bay, by having his ships modest
our ships on different occasions. Last
week Admiral Dewey cabled the Wash
ington authorities that Aguinaldo, the
insurgent leader in the PHILIPPINES,

II. NJ. Burchard,:: for many years
general agent of the Winona & St.
Peter Land Co., at Marshall, and we'll
known throughout the State, passed
away last Monday. Mr.. Burchard
was an energetic business man, who
materially assisted in the settlement of
this section of Minnesota.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1898-07-21

had taken all of Subic Bay, except
Isla Grande, which he was prevented
from taking by the German man-of-
war, Irene. Admiral Dewey immedi-
ately detached the Raleigh and Con-
cord from his fleet, and sent the two
vessels north into the bay, where the
Irene was. As soon as the Germans
saw the American vessels they pulled
their ship out of the harbor, and the
American vessels took the place. In
Manila harbor the American feet has
been molested more or less by the
ships of Germany.
These events, together with other
acts of the young man presiding over
the destinies of Germany, seem to in
dictate that the Emperor is looking for
trouble with America, and is anxious
to run his nose into the present Amer
ican-Spanish war. We don't believe
that the mass of the German people
have this feeling, but the Emperor
seems to entertain them very strongly.
While such step would be deplorable
yet, we rather guess that the Emperor
would be sufficiently amused until he
was willing to cry enough. in case he
entered into such an affair. Since the
Sampson Schley -Cervers affair at
Santiago the English papers are quite
willing to admit that we are one of the
strongest nations on the sea to-day,
all owing to the fact that our ships
are of the very latest construction,
and are manned by men who under
stand their business. We are not so
many, to use the vernaculsr, but what
we are, is all business, and the Ger
man meddler would undoubtedly find
that out in his first fight with the
United States.
About the time that he made such
an attempt we would have an ally of
great importance. France has long
since been looking for an opportunity
to recover Alsace and Lorraise, and
the very moment that the German
emperor displays his teeth, France
will ask for the return of the two
provinces wrested from her as indem-
nifty for the Franco-Prussian war.
ALI in all, we think that the rattle
headed Emperor will stop the wheels
going around in his upper story long
enough to see that he had better go to
war with some other country, if he
wants to fight.

Max O'Rell considers that French
women make better wives for poor or
struggling men than do the women Of
other nationalities. Their ambition and
keen sense, he says are great helps to
mans efforts, and they never allow
themselves to weary in their endeavors
to be CHEEKY and charming. Mr.. O'Rell
says that the women are naturally ex-
ceedingly energetic and endowed with
that vivacity which is SO great a sup
port to their own spirits and that this
enables them to impart animation and
courage to others.
Other writers have noticed this pc
Guliarity of temperament in French
women. 1t has been said that Americans
have it to a certain degree, that degree
which compels a constant activity, but
that lack of true balance makes woman
ly energy in the western continent fitful
and uncertain, while the Gallo women
will be found of more equable natures

How 70 Drink water.

There are few people, we think, who
thoroughly realize tie value of water
as beverage or who know how to oh
tain the greatest advantage from it.
The effects pIoducedl by the drinking of
water, as pointed out by chr excellent
contemporary Health, vary with the
manner in which it is drunk. If, for
instance, pint of cold water be swal
lowed as large draft. or if it be taken
in two portions with short interval
between. certain definite results follow
effects which differ from those which
would have resulted from the same
quantity taken by slipping. Slipping is
q powerful stimulant to the circulation,
o thing which ordinary drinking is not.
During the act of slipping the action
of the nerve which shows the beats of
the heart is abolished, and as q conse-
guence that organ contracts much more
rapidly, the pulse beats more quickly
and the circulation in various parts of
the body is increased. In addition to
this, we find that the pressure under
which the bile is secreted is raised by
the slipping of fluid. And here is point
which might well be noted by our read
ers:
A glass of cold water, slowly slipped,
will produce greater acceleration of the
pulse for time than will glass of
wine or spirits taken at draft. In this
connection it may not be out of place to
mention that slipping cold water will
Ia al - g. oil lno1
those who have been in the habit of TAX
ing too much of it and who may be en-
deavoring to reform, the effect being
probably due to the stimulant action of
the slipping.

Pickwick or an Oyster.

f., To my chief benefactors, whom 1t

siren sang, in the form of an oyster
man who passed at intervals by the
door of our sChoolyard, and lured us
not only by the cravings of appetite,
but by the destinations of gambling.
His mode of business was to receive
a halfpenny from his customer, who
cried "head" or tail" (the tail was
represented by Britannia in full uni
form uncomfortably located on the edge
of her shield) as the vendor threw It
upward. The customer lost his coin if
his conjecture was wrong. If right, he
received an excellent oyster, with a CO.

a huge stone bottle, with a slit in the

"That existing methods of educating
the young fall short of the ideal there is
scarcely any question, writes Edward
Box in The Ladies Home Journal.
"The most prominent educators of the
land admit this fact. Every effort is
undoubtedly made to better prevailing
systems. But the fight is single handed.
AS teachers and educators constantly
say: we are alone. Parents give US no
assistance. They do not even give us
the benefit of ordinary interest And
this is Fundamentally true. Parents
are all too lax about the methods pur
sued in educating their children. In
hundreds of cases they do not even know
what the methods are. They know
nothing about them. There is no coop
GRAFTON of the parent with the teacher.
However much we may be able to i'm
prove modern methods of education, the
best results to our children cannot be
reached until parent and teacher shall
come into closer relations than they are

Where IN Mener Is yery Mixed.

Although all accounts are kept In
dollars and cents (American standard)
in British Guiana, there is no existing
coinage to correspond Gold is rarely
rendered, all larger sums being handled
in bank notes, kept so long in circula-
ton that they become almost unrecog-
nizable in their filthy fragmentary di-
lapidation.
The silver coinage consists OF the
most homogeneous varieties. Besides
British a number of coins, fractions and
multiples of the ''gilder, enter largely
into circulation. These are known as
the "bitt" (4d.). half bitt,' the 1.-TWO

All these coins are of great and in
teresting variety, incident on the trans
fer of the colony from the Dutch and
the once distinct governments Of Berbioe
and Demerara and Essequibo, long since
amalgamated.
OF copper coins the penny is known
as "gill, F" while the humble baubee
becomes "cent. " Paintings were once

Dry Plate Photography.

The first amateur pictures on dry
plates were made something after the
method employed by Charles Lambs
celebrated Chinaman in obtaining roast
pig. The Chinaman burned his house
to roast his pig. The amateur tore his
camera to pieces to get his picture. The
first hand camera was pasteboard box
containing one plate. A pinhole served
as lens and after the exposure of the
plate the box was taken to the dark
room, cut open, and the plate extracted.
This was rather expensive picture max
ing, and it was not long before maya
zine camera was invented, and sudden
~ all the world began taking pictures.
