Two Ways Of Looking at Things.

at is a pity that more of us can
not cultivate the twofold way of
looking at things" writes Edward
W. Box in June Ladies' Home
Journal. "There wouldbe less fric-
ton in lite if Eve did, and sweeter
sympathy, kinder understanding, and
broader and fuller living. The fact
is that we never reach the dignity of
true living unless we do learn this
all-important lesson. And that it
may be cultivated admits ofno doubt.
1t is simply question of schooling
ourselves not to condemn generally
what individually does not happen
TO be to our taste. If, for example,
we prefer brown as color there is
no reason on earth why we should
condemn the taste of any one who
preferred to wear green. What the
vast majority of us need is to be a
little more self-poised, more judicial,
more willing to see good in the tastes
Of Others, although they do not
please our own particular fancies.
If we all thought alike, read the
same books, saw the same plays,
wore the same colors, this would be
An exceedingly uninterestiDg world.
ave cannot see all things in the
same way but we can come near to
justice and true respect by taking a
twofold view ofthings while still re-
tanning onr strong individual views.
Seeing possible good or use for
everything docs not necessarily mean
weak individuality. The most
uncomfortable people in the world
are those who assert their Judge
nents in hard, decisive and final
manner, as ifthey were courts Of last
resort. On the other hand, the
brightest and best minds are those
that have most respect for the opin-
ions of others"

Public School Appropriations for Sny-
der County,

The Posi- has always under its
present management secured the first
information concerning the distribu-
ton of the school fund to the differ
ent school districts from the state ap-
preparation. These figures are ex-
ceedingly interesting and the Posi-
as usual is the first toget the official
figures from the authorities at Har-
risburg. The appogtionmentis is now
made under a different system from
that previously inoperation and was
adopted by the last legislature. Un-
der it the fund of $500, 900 is dis
tributed on the basis of $66.O7 to
each teacher, $1.O7 for each taxable,
and $1.62 for each child of school
age. Heretofore the apportionment
has been divided on the basis of the
number of taxables. Under the pre-
sent plan one-third of the appro-
priation is based on the number of
teachers employed, one-third on basis
of taxables and one-third on basis of
children of school age. In order to
show our readers how this law works,
we name the amount each district
received last year and the amount
it will receive this year.

The effect of the heavy rains, alter
nate with great heat, is to give the
the unacclimated man a chill. In
the cane fields shelters are erected to
which the negroes run when the
sudden rain comes down.
"Yellow fever would notdo us SO
much harm. Itbelongs in the cities,
and we could probably beat it by
cleaningup, same as Ben Butler did
at New Orleans. But yellow jack
is only one of the Cuban fevers.
Rain and heat create decomposition
and miasma. The soil of Cuba is a
rich black loan, produced by the
decay Of vegetable matter. No one
can sleep on it insaiety. Spaniards
and Cubans in there campaigning
carry hammocks. No unacclimated
troops could possibly campaign in
Cuba during the rainy season with
out suffering enormous losses
through dystenery, country fever,
broken bone fever, and the other
forms of malaria. They have had
some cases ofberi-berl Qike elephan-
tiasis) in Cuban cities lately. but /
don't know that they would cut any
figure"

All CUM CAME.
The First Chinese to Draw an Ameri-
Pension.

The pension office today pensioned All
Cum. Chinese subject and the widow of
Pascal Martin. a sailor of the United
States. This is the first Chinese subject
ever pensioned by the United States. AL
most every other country furnishes one or
more pensioners for Uncle Sam, but until
today China was without a representative.
Sailor Pascal Martin, after leaving the ser
vice of the United States, met the fair An
Cum in Shanghai and said: Come with me,
fair queen. and / will make you mine" All
Cum came. She was not to be fooled into a
sailor marriage, however, and was particu-
lar so the records show. to be married by
a Catholic priest in Shanghai in 1885. The
fact that she was a heather preyed upon
her mind 1t is said, and thoughts Of not
benig legally united with the sailor hus-
band haunted her So she resolved to be
married again This time it was before the
consul of Shanghai, and she was satisfied.
Her Jackie died after three children had
been born, and then, hearing from some
kind pension attorney that the United
States owed her a pension, she proceeded
forthwith to collect the same. AS rule,
the department will not accept foreign evil
ience, but the evidence in this case was so
clear and conclusive that nothing else was
to be done. The Office of our consul con-
tanned the record of the marriage, birth of
the children and death of the husband.
The Navy Department supplied the service
evidence and Uncle Sam has provided the
pension. The widow will receive IS per
month and the children 81 month each.

NEW YORK. August 25-London came
irregularly at the opening. but showed in
creasing strength later. Our market OPEN
ed strong and somewhat higher through
out. There was good buying of Manhattan,
Peoples Gas, Tobacco and the Grangers
During the first hour Manhattan gained
two points and Tobacco about five points
ever last nights close and held firm at
slight concessions. Peoples Gas rose a
point and a half on renewed rumors of an
early settlement of their troubles with the
indiana company. The Pacifics were strong
\. +. Common, after opening steady at a
fractional advance over last nights closing
rose three-quarters of point on good buy
ing by insiders.
London was a moderate seller OF various
stocks. Commission houses were quoted as
being about equally divided, as regards
buyers and sellers.
After the first hour, the general market
became dull and strong. with somewhat OF
hardening tendency in most Of the list, In

MAS easily the favorite, OPENING Et AZ and.
uneer good buying rose .apidly to 6As dur
ing the first h1;cr and a half - - -
I"e exception to the general strength
shown was Consolidated Gas. which con-
tinued weak and inactive, the tendency
being to let it alone. 80 -
The strength in Manhattan was attribut-
ep 70 khe lDcfeaSlng short interest, as
shown by the borrowing of this stock last
night. While there are no new develop
ments in this security that would encouraee
investment buying, the development OF a
large short interest and a temporarily actiyl
demand upon the loan crowd by the shorts
would doubtless cause some further ad-
vance. The earnings continue to decreas.

mat one OF ITS strongest competitors is en-
Saged IN reconstruction work which should

was more strength manifest in this speciaI-
y Ioday than for some time and IN wa
Ialrly active and showed a stronger tone
throughout S
Between the hours Of II 80 and . nm.
tfere was no feature to the market except
us extreme dullness. There was al no
ume any stock pressing for sale and prices
day.
The presence of prominent Tobacco OIL
Gals In st. Louis gave color to the oft
repeated rumor of a settlement being un-
der way between the American Tobacco
Company and its rivals in the west. and
the advance in the stock during the early
hours reflected the sentiment of the in
siders" on this specially, which seems to
have plenty Of friends.
There is a growing favorable sentiment
for United States Leather stocks in view
OF the trade conditions, which show an ad-
yancing tendency in the price Of raw hides,
and the existing differences between their
price, and that of the manufactured art!-
Gle which, sooner or later, IL is claim I'd,
Will MAXI itself manifest in appr. citation OF
values for the stock.
The market closed strong.
