In Favor Of the Uuited states.


One point and that NO insignihoanS
enc, has bssn made IN our favor by the
explosion d the Maine. It has turned
the sympathy Of the nations of Europe
TO our side. Before the disaster England
appeared TO Be the only one Of the pow.
ers that had good word for us in con.
nection with the Cuban revolution.
The rest favored Spain and muttered
through their newspapers their half
yelled chronic spite and jealousy toward
as just because we, a republic, dare to
be rich and powerful nation.
The destruction of the Maine, from
whatever cause, revealed to the nations
Of Europe the patience, the friendly
courtesy and even favor our government
had manifested toward Spain through
out. II the Maine had been German
warship, not more than a week would
have elapsed till two or three of Will
liam's warships were in Havana harbor
with their guns trained on MORO castle.
As it ID. the United States government
patiently waits che result Of the Maine
inquiry, meantime withholding any az
ton that could embarrass Spain.
This course Of conduct will inevitably
react in our favor in Europe when it
does become necessary for US to inter-
vene In Cuba. How Great Britain
would regard such intervention is per-
haps clearly expressed in letter writ
ten by Rev. DR.. Charles A. Berry, chair
man of the Congregational union of
England:
Ny view-and think it is generally held by
rational Englishmen-is that the trouble in
Cuba has gone ON long enough. 1t is being TO
mented BY mSn who hout the authority OF
Spain while protesting against American in
terferenoe. This state of things is kept up for
the sake Of number of rotten interests.
Spain ID not 20 much contumacious as power
less, and the United States government Is tho
only power which can restore order, and. with
due regard to Its own Monroe doctrine and
collateral obligations, the Washington exec.1-
tive ID justified in insisting upon order, even
II it becomes necessary to superintend the
management Of Affairs.

the Cuban war by March this country

blowing upel the Maine has complicated
the situation because immediate action
just now on our part would have the

1t is a popular tradition that New York
1arbor could easily be entered by hostile
heet and the city laid in ruins by the big
guns of the enemy's warships. We have
heard this SO often that we have come to
accept it as fact but really 1t Is not So
TO tho unframed civilian eye, 1t is true,
the water approaches to New York appear
to be- singularly lacking in protection.
There are two water gates to the metropo-
lis-one by way of Long Island sound
and the other leading directly from the
ocean In past Sandy Hook to the Narrows,
which ia sort of inner door to the upper
harbor. The sound entrance, we have
learned, has been sown SO thickly with tor
pedoes that it could be made far too dan
gerous for any hostile feet to try to force
. passage. Besides, big warships would
scarcely venture into q trap which might
be closed at both ends-a trap in which
there would not be enough seaway for ma
val evolutions.
But Sandy Hook, that lean arm of sand
which stretches out toward Europe, shows
few evidences of power defensive or often
sive. But it is there. On the end of that
arm is a mailed fist capable of striking a
tremendous blow.
In a general way. the popular idea Of
an impregnable fortress is Gibraltar. Com
pared with this mighty rock Sandy Hook
at first sight certainly seems pitiably small
and weak. Asa matter of fact, however,
nature has So grounded 1t with traps and
against attack by land that Sandy Hook
has, hidden from all except technically
educated eyes, safeguards that make it
theoretically and practically an almost in

Tho Breath Of Life.

We are glad to: see in the magazine
Mind 60 intelligible q dissertation on
the subject Of right breathing AS is fur
nisheti by Dr.. Charles Brodie Patterson.
It ia certain, as pr. Patterson says, that
"inability to take strong, deep breath
serves to bring about an unbalancing Of
the physical organism. If persons in.
olined to consumption would begin so
soon AZ the lung trouble manifests and
practice long. slow. deep breathing, in
many cases cure would be effected.
The lungs are not the only portion of
the body Affected by the breath either.
Deep drafts Of oxygen not only purify
the air in the lungs, but 60 all through
the body, consuming waste matter in
the blood and making the action Of ev'
cry part stronger, truer and healthier.
Most persons only draw into their bodies
Islf or quarter the oxygen they are en-
titled 70 and actually need.
Dr.. Patterson takes likewise deeper
view Of the subject than this physical
one. He tell us that dominant mental
qualities affect the breath habitually.
''Desirs expresses itself In our method
Of breathing. Strong. true. uplifting
desire causes us to breathe strong and
deep, while q, weak, vaoillating and
false desire results in superficial breath
ing. This. can be proved by any one
through carefully noting the effect Of
vsrying desires on the BREATH"
