The "war news of the week, Invested
of its fake features, may be briefly told
Nothing new is known as to the cause of
the destruction of the Maine; but there
does not seem to be doubt that it was
an external explosion. Spain and this
country are alike making preparations
for war, and it looks as though the for
mer country may precipitate hostiiities,
although some think she is only bluffing.
1t was made known last Sunday that the
Spanish government had formally request
ed the recall of Consul General Lee from
his post at Havana, to which request the
United States had courteously but firmly
refused to comply; also that the Spanish
government had suggested the improp1ie-
ty Of sending relief supplies to the Cuban
reconcentrados on the cruiser Montgom-
cry and gunboat Nashville, to which sug-
gestion the United States had given a like
answer in the negative. Spain can give
Consul Lee his walking papers, and this
government, according to precedent, must
submit to his dismissal, as Spain did in
the case of De LONE, but it would neces-
sarily strain the relations existing be-
tween the two countries, and, with other
conditions, tend to bring about an open
rupture. Spain has, however, disavowed
any intention of demanding the recall of
Gen. Lee. An emergency bill appropriate
ing fifty millions was presented to the
House Monday and was unanimously
passed Tuesday amidst storm of cheers.
The members of Congress are now
backing the Administration as one man,
and while some say there will be no war
there is substantial agreement that it is
wise to prepare for one.

In connection with the communication
concerning the Belfast sewing school the
article on the 9TH page relative to this and
other practical branches taught in the
public schools of Washington, d. c., will
be found of much interest. 1t will be
seen that the cooking lessons take wide
range, the instruction including much
which fits the girls for the duties of
house keepers, as we'll as imparting knowl-
edge of matters of which all should be in

pected from the increased attention now
paid everywhere to tie practical lines of
education.

1t is now denied that Spain has been
buying war ships; and also that she has
paid the Rothchilds 40 per cent. for a

she had the money; but apparently Spain

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from . mother ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became SO poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. Ny
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. l followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as we'll as
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
. good color. am completely cured Of
rregularity."
