what are we to look for as the result Of protracted experience of the socie- ty of Manila? Some very obstinate bachelors went with General Merritt;
 but it is one thing to be an obstinate bachelor in the United States, and an- other and possibly more difficult thing to be one in the Philippines. For one thing, we are told that it costs so little to live in Manila that even the poorest American officer might safely permit his thoughts to turn toward domestication. And then the Philip pine ladies have some extraordinary special recommendations. They don't wear stockings CT bonnets, and they glory more in their hair than in their clothes.

A BRYAN BLAST BY PROXY.

Ex-Governor Stone of Missouri, dur ing brief sojourn in New York, hat heen expressing himself on the subject Of the political situation of the day and on the prospects for 1900. His -deliv- erances command attention both by reason Of his ability and his recognized position as a national leader of the democratic party. Not unlikely, it is thought, he may succeed MT. Jones of Arkansas as chairman of the demo- cratic national committee and thereby become the director of his partys next presidential campaign. He is an inti- mate personal friend of Mir. Bryan, and favors his renomination for the presi- dency.
 Governor Stone is an eXpansiOnist. That is to say, he favors the annexa- ton of Porto Rico at once, and inti- mates that Cuba will be ours in time. In fact, as to Cuba, he makes the in- teresting observation that if the re- publicans, in keeping with the declara- ton of congress, should care to make an issue out of the proposition for in- dependent government for Cuba the democracy would take the side of im- mediate annexation.
 But Governor Stone expects all the war questions to be settled by 1900, and silver again to be the issue. The old candidate on the old platform is evidently his desire and calculation. The widening of the country's com mercial scope, and the establishment Of more intimate business relations with the great nations now conducting their financial affairs On a gold basis, evidently cut no figure in Governor Stones estimate of the situation. He still thinks the United States able sim ply, by opening it's hints to the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, to change advance values of every description. Therefore he proposes another try for control of the country with the demo- cratic shibboleth of 1896.
 Like other silverites, Governor Stone IS disturbed over the desire of the New York democrats to ignore the Chi eago platform in their coming state campaign. His worry seems unneces- sary. The New York democracy is as fully committed to free silver as it can be to anything. A little hugger- mugger more or less this year will not count. Governor Stone has only to make sure of convention to commit the New York democracy to any plat form he and his friends may choose to write.

HARD SOAP.
Two Simple Formulas for Maxim a
the Common Kind for House
hold Use.

a simple way to make small
amount of hard soap is to buy can
of prepared potash and dissolve it in
one quart of cold water. The potash
will cause the water to boil like lime
when the mixture cools, and just be-
fore it is cold stir in five pounds of
melted grease. Stir the soap for ten
minutes over the fire, and then pour
it into an old dripping-pan or some
similar square-cornered dish. An old
wooden box, if the joints are tight,
is the best thing to put it in to harden.
Where there are stationary Washsnbs
these may be utilized to cool the soap.
When it is soft, cut it into suitable
sized bars and let it become hard.
1t can be used "a hours after it is made,
but it is better for ripening a month.
Still another way of making soap is
with soda and lime. Dissolve six
pounds of common washing soda and
three pounds of unslacked lime in four
gallons of boiling water. Let the
mixture stand until the water above
it is perfectly clear. Drain off this
water. Now pour in two gallons of
cold water and let it settle clear. Drain
this second water off in a pan. Put
six pounds of clean grease with the
lime and soda, and let the mixture boil
slowly for two hours till it begins to
harden. Thin it as it boils with the
two gallons of water which was drained
into the pan. Add this water as it is
needed; it will not require all, only
enough to prevent the soap from boil
ing over. When little of the cooled
soap hardens, add a handful of salt
and mix we'll, and pour into mold
that has been well wet with water to
prevent the soap sticking to the mold.
When it is solid cut it into bars. Let
the bars dry for three months.-N. y.

Living SweetIy Under Trials.

Many of us fEd life hard and full OF
pain. The world uses us rudely and
roughly. We suffer wrongs and inju-
ries. Other peoples clumsy feet tread
upon our tender spirits. We must en-
dure misfortune, trials, disappoint-
ments. We cannot avoid these things.
but we should not allow the harsh eX-
periences to deaden our sensibilities
or make us stoical or sour. The true
problem of living is to keep our hearts
sweet and gentle in the hardest condi-
tions and experiences. If you remove
the snow from the hillside in the late
winter YOU will find sweet flowers
growing there beneath the cold drifts,
unhurt by the storm and by the snowy
blankets that have covered them. So
should we keep our hearts tender and
sensitive beneath life's fiercest winter
blasts, and through the longest years
of suffering and even of injustice and
wrong treatment. That Is true, vic
torious living.-J. r. Miller, d. d., in

An English Wedding CeIebrs Con,

A Liverpool medical man was called
in to attend a patient seized with cholera
cramps as the result of excessive drink
ing, and found together about a dozen
persons, mostly young women, in u
room with full glasses before them, a
three-gallon jar of strong ale on the
table, and several bottles of whisky,
which from time to time were replen-
ished. This remarkable session was
kept up for five days. 1t was in cele-
bration of Il wedding, and all had saved
up for weeks i'm anticipation of the
event. The father pawned his watch
and most of his furniture; one young
fellow pawned his coat, hat and watch.
The whole party, 20 or 80 in number,
slept together on the floors, or any
where-the house being a small three
roomed cottage in one of the streets of

revel was ended they all proceeded to
