LITERATURE OF CHILDHOOD.
A Mothers Notebook Can Be Made a
True Romance of Human Nature.

A Mothers Notebook Can Be Made
True Romance of Human Nature.
Florence Hull Winterburn, writing OF
keeping "a Mothers Notebook" in the
Woman's Home Companion, claims this
IN favor of such a record:
1T is chiefly for her own instruction
and guidance that a mother needs 70
keep some kind of nursery notebook
For the refreshment of her memory,
when patience is likely to fail, and for
the reawakening Of dulled sympathy
with childish moods, as well as for the
enlightenment Of others to whom sne
may choose to impart her experiences
the results of her labor will more than
repay her for the trouble taken. She
need follow no rules, nor even attemE
to make regular entries, unless she has
inclination for the task. Facts bearing
upon physical variations are extremely
valuable, and it is wise to note the
weight and growth of a child at regu-
lar intervals, to ascertain whether he IS
developing normally. Even more import
art are observations upon his genera
health, temperament, disposition ana
the use he makes of his faculties. Al
though the mother herself may not %
aware of the standard he should attain,
her statement Of facts may give the
clue to a physician when puzzllng
symptoms show themselves. 0ften
deafness and defects Of vision might
be prevented If the early signs OF thelr
coming on had been needed. A single
incident in PERSONS life may give ths
Keynote of his character"

factory, being similar to those of San
tiago, with the exception that the
Spanish garrison is allowed to retire.
That the town surrendered so easily
confirms the belief that the Spanish
military is very weak in it's allegiance
to Spain. On the arrival of troops the
land advance to San Juan is expected
to be easily accomplished.

1t is generally believed in London
that George N. Curzon stands the best
chance to be appointed the next vice
roy OF India. That means vast
honor in store for Mary Letter Curzon,
fair American girl.
Lord Elgin retires from the lofty
place in November.
Under Secretary of State Curzon's
rivals for this grandest of all British
sppointive positions are Balfour AND
the Earl of Jersey.
If Curzon wins, as is probable, Mrs.
Curzon will sit at the right hand of

The power and perquisites of the

No other American girl ever had a
chance to reach such pinnacle.
Joseph Letter, the ex-king of the
wheat ring, is her brother.

Want to Keep the Philippines.

The Portland (Ore.) chamber of
commerce has adopted resolutions re-
solutions regarding the Philippines,
declaring: '"That We believe that any
other course than the retention of
these islands would be construed as a
surrender to the menaces of foreign
powers; that we unhesitatingly demand
the retention of these islands; that the
commerce Of the Orient may be shared
IN by our people without dictation
from any foreign power whatsoever.

The health of the soldiers at Camp
Alger, Va, is SO seriously threatened
by fever that the men are almost in a
panic. Sixteen deaths from typhoid
fever in six days is the record and the
fever is still spreading rapidly. The
troops are becoming afraid and feel as
though they are penned up awaiting
certain death, Everything possible
has been done by the surgeons, but it
seems as though the infection were in
the air, the water and the soil.

Germany's Behavior Iniudicious,

Germany has been taking, arrives at
the conclusion that Germany has be-

THE MANILA SITUATION.
Inc spaniards are in Low Spirits, and VIII
Gladly Surrender.

hhe sPaniards are In Low Spirits, and Will
Gladly Surrender.
The Spaniards in Manila are gradu-
ally realizing that Spain has not been
victorious, that the expected reinforce
ments are not coming, and that the
contest is utterly hopeless. The in
surgents are in overwhelming numbers
and the Spaniards can only obtain the
bare necessaries Of life.
Only a fortnight ago Spanish ma
tlonal pride was rampant; but it is
merging into indignation at Spain's
feebleness and regret that they were
born Spaniards. While they will never
surrender without fight, the Spanish
officers will Jump at the first honorable
opportunity to surrend I. They fear
national disgrace too much to give IL.
without fight.
The fighting in the suburbs is desul-
tory and the Americans are idle. This
has given rise to q report that they
have determined to suspend operations
until September, and by that time
peace will probably be concluded.
Then, it is asserted at Minila, that the
Americans may permanently annex the
Caroline islands and the Ladrone is.
lands, and possibly abandon the Phil
lpplnes, with the exception of keeping
coaling station at Manila.
Although the insurgents have re.
doubled their efforts, they have hith-
erto been unable to capture the cita-
del. On the other hand the Spaniards
are not able to rc-cstablish their suze-
rainty.
Under tho circumstances. it seems
evident that somebody must intervene
IN the name of humanity.
Some insurgent shells have been
thrown into the citadel, but they do
not appear to have done much damage.
The natives arc reported to bo
starving by thousands, and tho Euro

HANGS ON TO PORTO RICO.
Spain Objects to Paying the Cuban Debt.

spain OBJECTS to Paying the Cuban Debt.
Rather Sacrifice One of the Philippines.
A dispatch to the London Daily Mail
from Madrid says that the government
will oppose the cession of Porto Rico
to the United States, contending that
the island is entirely outside the scope
of the controversy that precipitated
the war. Moreover, the government
declares that the Porto Ricans have
always been loyal and devoted to
Spain, and it would rather sacrifice
QUE of the Philippines than give up
the island. The Cuban debt will be
another bone of contention, Spain not
desiring to be responsible for it. Some
days ago the Spanish government re-
newed its orders to Capt. Gen. Au-
gust to hold out to the utmost, so that
the suspension of hostilities would
find the Spaniards in possession of
Manila,

quarantine Oincers object to Presence OF
Wounded Soldiers at Fort Monroe.
Gov. Tylor, at the urgent request
OF the quarantine officers at Newport
News and Old Point, has sent to Sur
geon General Sternberg, of the army,
strong protest against any more
wounded soldiers from Cuba being
landed at Fort Monroe. He called at
tention to the fact that the breaking
out of yellow fever epidemic there
besides endangering the lives of thou
sands of people in Virginia would also
weaken if it did not absolute I'M
man Fort Monroe, which guards the
entrance to Washington; would sus-
pend work at the government navy
yard at Norfolk, and would also cause
the stoppage of all works on the men
OF war now in process of construction
at the private yards at Newport News.
Norfolk, some years before the civil
war, suffered terribly from m cpl
demic of yellow fever.

Price of Papers Increased.

All the morning papers of Chicago
printed an announcement Friday that
on and after August l the price will
be two cents copy instead of one
cent. The increased cost of white
paper and the enhanced general ex-
penses due to the war, are the reasons
for the advance.
