TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SWERED,

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor If you can
not get better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference II
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on a 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 proml-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.

No Lack of Attention.
PRECURSOR OF HOLLAND.


Civil War Martyrs to the Cause of Sub
marine Fighting Vessels.
In 1868 Lieutenant Payne, a young,
brave and gifted sailor of the Confederate
navy, had constructed submarine tor
pedo boat.
On Oct. 12 of that year, in Mobile bay,
the vessel was sent OH an errand of de-
truction against the Yankee fleet. She
dived, but did not come to the surface
and her crew Of eight men were suffocated.
The inventor had been restrained from
taking part Ill the trial He had faith in
his invention, and on Jan. IL, 1864, in
sisted in directing the vessel on similar
mission in the harbor of Charleston.
Again there was Il failure, but Lieutenant
Payne and two sailors narrowly escaped
the death which overlook their compan-
ions by breaking through the top of glass
compartment.
Subsequent improvements caused the
vessel to be capable of diving and rising
at the will of the operator, and repeat
ed trials in Stone river caused the en-
thusiasm of the Confederates to know no
bounds She went for mile under wa
ter, discharged blank torpedoes and re
turned breathing easily. On Jan. 20 OF
the same year, however, she stuck her
nose in the sand, and this time Lieutenant
Payne staid to sleep the long sleep with
the men who went down with him.
Again the boat was raised. Other brave
men manned her, and on Feb. II, 1864,
in Charleston harbor she was sent to at
tack the Federal warship Housatonic. She
accomplished her mission by sinking the
big enemy. But the victor did not reap
pear.
Two years after the war, when the
wrcckage was being removed from Charles
ton harbor, the Uousatonic was raised.
In the side of the great vessel was jagged
hole made by the submarine fighter, and
wcdgcd III the hole was Lieutenant Payne's
torpedo boat. with the bodies of all the
men who went with her TO death Mt their
posts, prisoners of the enemy whom they

Royalty In a Theater Gallery.

An amusing story is being told in Lon
don of the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught. A few nights ago they visited a
London theater. They drove in royal car
riagcs from Buckingham palace, the duke
and duchess being in the first and Colonel
Egcrton, who was in attendance, in tho
second. The royal coachman made the
extraordinary blunder of driving to tho
gallery entrance, and the duke and Ouch
ess, alighting proceeded up the staircase,
not knowing they were wrong. They had
passed the ticket Office, when the ticket
seller called them back He did not know
who they were. All he saw was two per-
sons about to enter the gallery without
tickets. Meanwhile Colonel Egerton, who
had been set down at the proper entrance
and had been frantically rushing about in
search of them, discovered the duke and
duchess at the timely moment when tho
ticket man was also about to discover
them. The duchess laughed merrily when
the mistake was explained, and the duke
also took the blunder in good part.

THE CUBAN WATER MONKEY.
One Must Be an Expert to Drink From
1t Gracefully.

The Cubans have a domestic utensil
called "a water monkey" that is to be
found in houses, hotels and offices. 1t an
swers the same purpose as the ola in
Mexico and the clay jugs Of India. 1t is
made of gray porous clay and is manufac-
turcd in Malaga, where the raisins come
FROM" BY absorption and evaporation
n blanket of cool air surrounds the jug
continually and keeps the water almost as
cold as if it contained ice. In country
where ice is both scarce and expensive
these jugs are Indispensable
The water monkeys have two apertures
one about the size of Il dollar, through
which water is poured into glass. On
the opposite side is protubcrance with
small hole running through it. From this
the experienced Cuban drinks without
touching it to his lips. When about to
drink, he holds it two or three inches from
his mouth, into which the tiny stream of
water pours. Gradually and slowly he
lifts the monkey away from him allowing
the water to flow from the monkey down
his throat. Occasionally the drinker
gulpS, and when his thirst has been salts
fled he returns the monkey toward his
mouth, then suddenly tips it up shutting
off the stream. 1t takes considerable cX
pcriencc 10 drink out of a water monkey
gracefully. The beginner sends a stream
of water down his neck instead of his
throat four times out of five until he has
mastered the art.-EXchangC.

The conversation had drifted into war
channels, and the major had the floor.
"Wcll, Colonel Mosby, you know, was Il
good fighter, but when General Grant sent
him to China the Nirginians turned the
cold shoulder TO him. One day he was
making speech i'll Alexandria. He told
the Virginians that they ought to vote for
him.
=" Why said the colonel, L fought all
over northern Virginia for four years.
Talk about my war record! Why, ny
war record is part of the states history.
Why, gentlemen, carried the last Con-
fcdcratc flag through this very town
" Yes, replied FitzHugh Lee, for I
was here at the time.
" Thank you for your fortunate recol
lection, gratefully exclaimed Mosby. 1t
is pleasant to know that there still live
some men who put aside envy and testi-
fly to the courage of their fellow beings.
As l say, gentlemen, my war record is u
part of the states history, for the gentle
man here will tell you that 1 carried the
last Confederate flag through this town.
THAT'S Il fact, said FitZ-Hugh Lee.
L saw him do it. He carried the Confed-
crate flag through this town, but kilpat
rick was after him, and he carried ii so
blamed fast you couldn't have told wheth-
er it was the Confederate flag or small

BISMARCK AS CHANCELLOR.
Ee Was Rude and Willing to BE Insult
ing In Parliament.

The prince used to prepare himself for

He was very indignant at the practice

the matter was discussed declared, Il
must speak straight out, and should like.
to be as rude as possible without being in
Sulting" lie made uso of several express
sions, asking the minister OF Justice il
those We're insults. The minister, being
conscientious was obliged TO say yes.
Then the prince grew angry, cxclaimin9
that in that case il would be better that
he should not answer ut all, but leave it
to Camphausen, the vice president Of the
council. Herr Won Tiedemann describes
the office hours in the chancellery, which
began early and ended late. At that time
Prince bismarck rose only toward noon.
He worked hard from l. TO Il and again
from 9 till late at night. Tiedemann sell
dom left his office before l am.
1t was not easy to read to the prince.
He demanded IL suscitating cxtract-as he
called it--Of everything, and declared,
however complicated a matter might be,
its kernel might be extracted in few
words. His subordinates gradually ac-
CuStomcd themselves to speak in and
Tiedemann often condensed more than
hundred paragraphs into the space of ten
minutes, but the preparation for such a
report had cost several hours study. As
soon as the reading was over Bismarck
gave his decision without moment S re-
Election. 1t was astonishing with what
certainty he hit upon the important points.
Never did he hesitate, but always knew
what he wanted. If anything did not in
tcrcst him, he said, do what you like"
He wrote very little, prefelTing to dictate.
Since killmann' bullet grazed his tight
thumb he had found it awkward to hold
quill pen.
His method of dictation was strange
He spoke in jerks, sometimes with long
pauses and then so rapidly that it was
difficult to follow him. His thought and
expression were so rich that he frequently
uttered two or three Pathological phrases
and then said, PLEASE choose the most
fitting" As he might never be interrupt
ed for, strange to say, he then lost the
thread of his thought-it was all the more
difficult to follow him. Butcher did this
more readily, for he was Il stenographer,
but Tiedemann was not, and so he seldom
could write whole sentence, and had to
be content to catch the most important
turns of speech, sometimes only single
word. Afterward it was his business to
work the sentence out.--Leipsiger Neuo

cred the art of making one from iron ut

dwarfed by the Chinese record, which
shows that mirrors, large and small, made
of brass, copper or silver have been in use
in that land over 1000 years. De Morgan
found u mirror that seemed to date from
the second dynasty in Egypt, about 5000
years ago and the latest Investigations in

OUR CHRISTMAS GIFT.

"Peace on earth, good will to men"
may well be re-echoed by all America
on this Christmas. On this day of all
days to the Christian we can say we
are at peace with all the world, and
extend good cheer to mortals in all
parts of the globe. Truly we can
celebrate this Christmas more fcrvent-
ly than for many years past. Indeed
has nature blessed our nation and our
people during the past syear. and we
may well join all christendom in sing
ing praise to Him who first brought
good cheer and peace on earth. Well
may we send good cheer to the rest of
the world on this day of thanksgiv-
ing and praise. for our recent enemies
are vauquished and made.ou friends.
Yes more than this have we to be
thankful for. We have carried the
star of freedom into foreign lands,
have broken the fetters that bound an
oppressed people to tyrant, and have
hoisted over lands where once kings
reigned the flag of liberty.
Nineteen centuries ago the people
of the world were sin.cursed and op-
pressed. The lowly Nazarene came
and brought light and liberty to them.
A new era began throughout the globe,
a new life was begun. The events of
this year have been marked by a like
important event to several millions Of
people. America broke the bonds
that bound them to darkness and op-
preston; to them a new life was be-
gun; to them it will be the Christmas
in their history. Our nation has been
the savior to them, therefore should
we not rejoice in their happiness and
in the thought of having done good?
Should we not join the world in pro.
'peace on earth, good will to
men?" Our Christmas gift to the
world this year is freedom to nearly
people who for ages have
been subjects of an unjust and cruel
home government.

"Do you see that fellow?" asked a
gentleman of the writer the other day.
"He carries nearly thousand dollars
in money orders in belt about his
waist" The individual ialluded to is
one whose business takes him about
over the country. He had been saving
money and had been putting it in the
form of money orders, believing this
the safest way of carrying it. He is
perfectly right; his money is as safe
as che government: it can not be stolen
from him, and it can not be lost
through any bank failure. The in
cident serves as an illustration of the
need of postal savings bank system.
Cubans are beginning to learn that
they are hardly in it along side of the
Americans since the bigoted governor,
General Brooke, has refused to allow
them to take part in the celebration
of the evacuation of Havana on New
Years day. General Brooke is making
a fool of himself, for by his actions he
is making Cuban's enemies instead OF
friends to this government. The
Cubans are certainly entitled to rec
ognition on the occasion of the Span
ish evacuation, and it is an insult to
deny them the privilege of taking part.
If this government would keep peace
with the Cupans, the first thing it
should do is to recall General Brooke.

FILIPINO REBELS.
IN POSSESSION
They Take the Princi-
pal Seaport Of lloiIo.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Iloilo, one
of the most important seaports OF the
Philippine islands, has fallen into the
hands of the insurgents. The Span
iards have fled.
There is good deal of anxiety in
official circles here over recent events
at 1loilo. Two official dispatches have
been received by the state and war
departments, but it is impossible 20
gather from them accurate knowledge
as to the conditions there. 1t is not
even possible to learn whether the
insurgents or the American forces have
taken the place.
This morning United States Consul
Pratt, at Singapore, cabled the state
department.: "Iloilo taken 26Lh.
Spanish fled to Borneo." This threw
the officials into deeper doubt than
before. The American expedition
which left Manila to go to Iloilo, con-
sisuing of 200 troops and the warships
Baltimore and Callao, would scarcely
have had time TO reach Iloilo by the
26th. So the inference is that the in
surgents are in possession.
Just before moon a cablegram was
received from Otis which con firmed
the fears of the officials as to the hap
renings at Iloilo. Otis stated that the
American expedition reached that
place too late, the insurgents having
taken possession of the city on the
26th, 80 hours prior to Captain Pot
ter's arrival. Aguinaldo's flag floats
over the city.

Undoubtedly he considers that free
trade would be a good thing for the
Philippines, that the country would
prosper more and the people be better
situated than if wall of protection
were thrown around them. How can
he make this consistent with his
former views? IF free trade would be

all? Or if protection has been neces-
