knew His Habits.

Tie following anecdote is given me
by an Indian officer as illustrative ot
the manners and customs Of the willy
Pathan. a certain general and his
staff, while vending their way through
one of the narrowest valleys of Tirah,
were annoyed by the attentions Of a
solitary marksman, who from time to
time sent a bullet unpleasantly close.
At last the general turned to his or
derly-a Pathan sowar--and told him
10 dismount, take his carbine, and try
and stalk the mountaineer The
sowar started off, and presently there
was crack, and a y-bearded old
Afridi tumbled headlong down the
mountain side. The sowar rejoined
and fell into his place. Well done!"
said the general. But how on earth
did you manage it so easily" "Oh,"
replied the sowar, Il knew his habits

by step from Clapham TO Whitechapel
where he had discovered him in low
public house and arrested him. 1t was
added thar he would be brought before
the magistrates some time that day
Saturday.
When the man was placed in the dock
he refused TO give his name and adj
dress, nor would he give any account of
himself. He had, therefore, been taken
TO the station and there searched and
his clothes examined. Blood stains
We're found upon them.
These might be accounted for by
fresh cut on the thumb of the right
hand. He had in his possession a large
sum of money in notes aud gold, of
which he refused to give any account.
In fact, he had badly spoken a dozen
words since his arrest.
But the strongest piece of evidence
against him was that a watch and chain
had been found upon him which had
been shown TO Mrs. Latymer-Wynne
aud which had been identified by her as
belonging to her husband
The evidence Of the servants and of
the sweep (who swore 10 his IDENTIFY

emily even his hardened nature had

well, there is one thing l should like
TO ask" he said, 'and that is whether
there is any law il England against
man wearing his own watch and
chain?"
Don't trifie with the court" said the
magistrate, sternly.
But something in the sound of the
prisoners voice had caused Mrs. Laty-
mer-Wynne to turn around and to look
at him again
''What, Harry!" she cried, lis it you?"
What is the meaning of all this ?"

And in its sleep IL smiled
And one by one three women knelt
TO Kiss the fair-haired child:
And each thought of the days TO be
And breathed prayer half silently.
One poured her love on many lives,
But knew loves toll and care;
Its burdens oft had been TO her
A heavy weight to bear:
She stopped and murmured lovingly:
Not burdened hands dear child. for

One had not known the burdened hands,
But knew the empty heart;
At life's rich banquet she had sat
An unfed guest. apart.
oh. not she Whispered Jenderly.
An empty heart, dear child, for thee"
And one was old: she had known care,
She had known loneliness:
She knew God leads US by no path
His presence cannot bless;
She smiled and murrured trustfully:

Woods Of the phiIinpIne.

The Philippine islands are rich in ma
tive woods, which are almost unknown
to the rest of the world. There are said
to be 80 tinctorial or coloring woods,
which give the entire series of colors or
shades. Ebony OF very fine grain also
abounds, and the Magkano wood, which
grows IN Mindanao, is said to be abso-
lutely immune from rot.

Those who are living in Chaplain or,
indeed, anywhere in the city, at that
time cannot have forgotten the extraor-
binary sensation that was excited by
what was called the Chaplain mystery.
And the scene of the mystery was Mrs.
Latymer- Wynn's house.
1t appeared that. as the various rooms
in the upper story were in the hands of
painters and paperers, Mr.. Latymer-
Wynn occupied temporarily the library
on the ground floor as a bedroom,
while his wife slept with the children
on another floor
Nothing occurred during the night
to disturb those who slept upstairs.
But when the servants came down in
the morning and proceeded to call their
master they were unable to rouse him
The door was forced open.
There was no sign of Mr.. Latymer-
Wynn, but there were various indi1a-
tons of desperate struggle.
One of the windows was open below,
and between THIS window and the bed
the floor was strewn with fragments Of
the heavy china ever belonging to the
washstand 1t appeared as if this had
been used by tile unfortunate man as
the only thing in the nature of n weapon
within reach. More ominous still,
closer inspection revealed blood stains
on the carpet.
\ little later Inspector Bickerdyke
the celebrated detective made his APP
pearance on the scene.
1t almost seemed as if even Inspector
Bickerdyke would for orce be baffled.
But az last his pc thence was rewarded;
a sweep made his appearance on the
scene and informed the detective that
as he was passing the house in the early
dawn he had seen man, shabby
dressed in a gray suit stealing from the
premises.
The inspectors small eyes twinkled
with satisfaction IS he listened to this
statement. The mere fact that the
criminal wore a gray suit did not seem
much to go upon. bat Inspector BiclSe--
dyke felt sure that il would be enough
for him. He would track that gray suit
t. thc remotest corner Of the earth.
The next morning there was in all
the papers a long account Of The Clap
ham Mystery" A well-Enown member
of the stock exchange had been sur
prised by burglars when asleep, and
after desperate resistance had been
Murdered and the body carried of. And
vet all the efforts Of the police to dis
cover where the corpse had been hid
den had been fruitless.
But, the investigation having been in
trusted to Inspector BicKerdyke, that
famous detective had already made an
arrest on suspicion. He had succeeded
in tracking one Of the supposed muir
dcrers-the man IN the gray suit--step

hTT Is all arranged for tomorrow,
said Mrs. Latymer-Wynne, as she
and hel husband took their seats at the
dinner table.
What is arranged?" asked her hus-
band, little grumpily, for he had had
a long and fatiguing day in the city.
20, the football match, of course.
And are you going to waste your
afternoon in looking on?"
20, no; / am going to play"
you cannot be serious, Kate. You,
a married woman with two children,
going to exhibit yourself IN that way
before crowd of loafers! And in that
dress, too"
well, the dress is a little unbecom-
ing-that's the worst of it. But as to
exhibiting ones self, that's all non
sense. Isn't it woman's business to
exhibit herself? Don't we all exhibit
ourselves when we go to a drawing
room?"
Mrs. Latymer-Wynn was decidedly
cleverer than her husband, and kept
him, on the whole, in a state of sub
lection. He was good, honest fellow,
who did we'll on tie stock exchange,
where his high animal spirits and pro-
pensity for practical joking were much
appreciated; but he was no match for
his pretty wife in the little verbal CON
ficts which sometimes take place be-
tween the most affectionate couples.

she went on. Mrs. Flyte-that's our
captain, you llnow-said that, on pres
ent form, | hadn't much claim to a
place on the team, but that, as two of
her cracks were down, she'd give me a
trial. o, wasn't it good of herr"
And you're going to allow lot of
cads to criticise you, and perhaps call
out: Get it, Tommy, as they did at a
ladies football match the other day.
Ladies, indeed! It's positively dis
gusting!"
20, think I'm all right, Harry. And
if they like to call me Tommy / don't
mind. You know it's meant in admira-
ton"
You will regret it yourself one day.

But Mrs. Latymer-Wynn only smiled.
Still if she could have foreseen the ter
rible calamity that was about to be-
fall her she would have relented. But
who can foresee the future.

IN the meantime Willie j. is getting
farther and farther up Salt Greek.
One year of McKinley's administration
has done more to refute the arguments
of the free silver champion than all the
documents punishable in century
could do. First the wheat market
went to work to prove the fallacy of
the champions logic in reference to the
relative value of this article of COM
merce and his pet medium of ex-
change, and then up comes the war
with it's sale of bonds to knock out of
existence his star argument that there

IN two naval battles, Marila Bay and
Santiago, between Spanish and Ameri
can ships and seamen, the former lost
twenty of the best and strongest fight
ing boats in their navy and nearly
5000 in killed, wounded and prisoners,
while among the Yankees only one was
killed, but seven wounded and not a
single ship even materially damaged.
There are now left in the Spanish navy
two vessels-the Pelayo and Carlos Y
which could under any circumstances
be any sort of an obstruction to an
American squadron. Moreover, the
best marines in SPANS employ were on
the ships destroyed at Santiago. Judg-
ing from these data, how long would it
take any American squadron, say the
one under Watson, to completely ami
hilate the remainder of the young
kings navy, and with what loss to the
Americans?

UNLESS surrender should intervene
the fighting around Santiago will be
renewed before sunset today. Such
are the plans Of the officers in com
mand. General Shafter and Admiral
Sampson have met in consultation and
as a result of that conference land and
sea forces will cooperate in compelling
the beleaguered city to surrender.
From the outside harbOr the mighty
Warships under the command of Samp-
son and Schley, will empty their maya
zines on the almost defenseless city
while Skaters army after a rest of
several days. during which they have
done much to strengthen their position.
Numerous rifle pits have been built
and many heavy siege guns have been
put in position to do tremendous
slaughter among the Spanish army.
Reports say that the soldiers constitut-
ing Skaters army are in splendid
condition. With sufficient provisions,
after the armistice of the past few
days, they are eager and able to renew
the attack. On the other hand, the
city has been deprived of its main
defensive and offensive factors by the
destruction of Cervera's fleet; it's
troops are scantily fed, and there is
reason to believe ammunition is scarce.
Added to all this those defending San
tiago are hopeless, discouraged and
divided. With this condition of affairs
the struggle must be brief. The sur
render of Cuba's second city is forth
coming. 1t is lamentable, however,
that Spanish stubborness and pride
should necessitate further loss of life
in the accomplishment of an end
already practically reached.

wife and friends are not able to find
anything of his whereabouts. He left
home Monday afternoon, without Civ
ing notice of where he was going.
Some time last week ne swore out a
warrant against a man named Smith,
charging him taking some furniture
from his house, and the case was to
have had hearing this afternoon.
The officers say that Boight did not
desire to prosecute the case and &C

blows over. His wife and mother,
however, are greatly distressed about
him and are making every effort to
find him.

BEFORE the declaration of war naval

BEFORE the declaration of war naval
experts all over the country we're pre-
dieting that should hOstilities actually
begin between Spain and the United
States the former would have the ad-
vantage upon the sea. In the naval
statistics of the world the navy of
Spain was placed several degrees above
our own. Fighting has been going on
now scarcely three months and the
dons navy has been almost entirely de-
molished. Spain's actual sea gooing,
fighting craft are at the bottom of the
Pacific, wrecked on the rocks off Cuba
or in the hands of the Americans
Over against this the American navy
has suffered no appreciate injury.
After sustaining two heavy sea fights
in which the enemy were supported by
strong land batteries, and several
minor engagements no American boat
has been sunk or destroyed, or even
severely damaged, while Spain suffered
heavily in each battle both in ships
and men. This great disparity in
actual conflict was not due to advan-
tage on the American side. In the
battle of Manila Bay the advantage
was altogether with the Spanish. The
reason for our phenomenal victories
is found in the men at the guns. To
their courage, GOODNESS and precision
belongs the greatest credit
