of the charge of the rough riders up the
slopes from FL Paso To the Spanish

silenced by the American tire.
The Tenth and First regiment and
the rough riders were ordered to make
a detour and take the hill. Then began
the real lighting The Spaniards were
not in sight, but there were hundreds
of them in coucealment. The rough
riders marched through the gulch
across to the slope whereupon the
blockhouse opened tire again. At the
same time the Spanish sharpshooters
began popping away, picking off men
here and there. Lieut.. Col Roosevelt,
rode at the head of his troops

bushes and trees to escape the hail of

An IGNORANCE CInh.

Mrs. Jane Marsh Parker has the dis
tinction of being the founder of the
only ignorance club in this country. In
stead of starting out with the assump-
ton that the members have an abund-
ance and to spare of knowledge upon
every known subject, the principal
plank in its platform is, We know
nothing, but seek knowledge"
The Fortnightly Ignorance Club" is
the title. Rochester is its home, and
starting with half a dozen members
meeting in Judge Parker's office, it
soon grew to several hundred members
with the chamber of commerce for its
headquarters.
Mrs. Parker is the secretary and DR.
Sarah K. A Dolley, one of the first
women in this country to study medi-
cine, is the president. Miss Susan B.
Anthony is an honorary member and
often adorns the meetings with her
presence, bedecked with "a coquettish
bonnet trimmed with forget-me-no
At present a difference exists between
Miss Anthony and some members of
the club, owing to a difference of opin-
ion on the suffrage question.

tiOns follow and the subject chosen for
the next meeting in one of which the

children's stories, as we'll as more i'm

count of the Millerite delusion Mrs.

One would imagine that love making
in Fiji was a very tame affair from the
fact that marriages are often arranged
while those most nearly concerned are
still in their infancy. However, court
ship there is quite as interesting as
anywhere else, and it has some peculiar
features.
Cupid's happy hunting ground is gen
orally a garden or a plantation, and on
a moonlight evening he is generally
pretty busy. At that time, high up in
the branches Of the breadfruit trees,
those who have eyes 10 see, may spy
many a pair Of human love birds perch
ed on the branches forty feet or so
from the ground. Fijian etiquette
seems to demand that the fair one and
her lover should occupy different
branches, and should be separated by
the trunks of the tree-this, at any rate,
is the usual custom.
Spare the bite and spoil the child"
would probably be the South Sea ISL
and mothers rendering Of the wise
mans saying, for she knew nothing of
the use of the rod as a means of cor
rection.
Instead of furnishing her offspring in
ways known TO English mothers, she
pulls its hair and bites some part of
its body, generally selecting the fleshy
part Of its arm for the purpose. Thus
it happens that travellers note among
little South Sea Islanders many bear
ing wounds or scars on the body which
have been produced by their mother 5

The mode of caress is as queer as that
of punishment. 1t is either to gently
take hold Of the child's neck with the
teeth or to pass the thumb deftIy over
its eyebrow or cheek The rubbing of
noses is also a sign of affection among
the islanders, just as it is with the

class We want to reach-the girls who at
twelve or fourteen years of age are
withdrawn from school, not having re-
ceived sufficient education to be of use
to them in finding work, and yet are
obliged to do something. The poorest of
these are obliged to fall back upon sweat
work or equally ill-paid and confining in
dustries; the next grade find places as
cash girls, or, if they take to domestic
service, must be eontented with the least
pleasant kinds, becoming drudges in fam
lies unable to pay or to keep a servant
even fairly well. All this because they
are fitted for nothing else.
There has been ruch philanthropic
work done among these classes" contin-
ued Miss Pascal, and to the philanthro-
pists we must appeal now. Schools where
these girls can 90 and receive some hours
training daily viii be of vast benefit not
only 10 them but to the community. BY
their help a girl may be able to ascertain
what she is fitted for and lose no time in
making her effort in the right direction.
One girl helped i'm the way was found to
have a decided talent for drawing: a
little more help and her ability was so
marked that a place was found for her
in Cooper Union, where she has now
been a student for some time.
AN effort will be made to induce girls
to go into house service, by showing them
the way to command good places and
wages, thus assuring them comfortable
and even dainty homes. Training will be
given in all branches of house work. in
the duties of the nurse and of the lady s
maid. 1t is proposed TO have in the
nurses training department a place for
| receiving babies and young children, that
the girls may be taught the practical care
of the little ones. There will be classes
made up Of different members of the
school TO take charge of the culinary de-
partment in turn, and learn to buy, cook
and serve meals in an acceptable man
ner. A league of young society women
may interest themselves in the schools,
and by visiting them do an excellent
work among the girls.

There is something very coquettish and
undeniably effective in thus abjuring all
color and adopting one rule of dress. but
only the young, who are bright of eyes,
fresh of skin, and shiny of hair. can bear
the test bravely, and ii requires stout
heart TO sacrifice the becoming colors of
the season.
Consider the hats of the season. Solo
mon would confess his splendor outdone
before any one of them. and yet they
are not all either complicated or over
difficult for amateur imitation. The first
rule OF good millinery is TO buy a pref
tily colored straw, and the tints of the
straws are as the colors OF Joseph's coat
for variety.
There is shown n growing tendency to
trim individual hats within the limits of
one color. a yellow straw is wreathed
with buttercups and yellow lace while
its ornamental pins are set with amber.

THE CUBAN DEBT.

The Spanish Commissioners insist
on the guarantee of the Spanish-Cuban
debt by the United States. The amount
of 1t is now over $500.000,000. The
American Commissioners reply that the
United States does not, and will not
own Cuba, and therefore cannot be
morally held for that debt.
lit is quite probable that this will
happen After the terms OF peace are
signed, and Cuba has become nominal
ly an independent country, the French
and German holders of the Spanish
Cuban bonds Will demand that Cuba
acknowledge her obligation to pay
them. The demand will be made
through the French and German Gov
ernments upon Cuba, and not upon the
United States. If Cuba refuses, or the
United States advise her to refuse, the
French and Germans will propose arbi-
tration as to the liability of Cuba.
The United States will be bound to
advise and accept arbitration. Arbi-
tration means that Cuba will be ad-
judged to pay the debt.
1t may be urged that this would be
inequitable, because Cuba has no bene-
fit from the loans. The reply to that
will be in the invariable course Of de-
cisions by tie Supreme Court of the
United States, that a State or munich
pality must pay all Indebtedness con-
tracted by those who had the lawful
power to do so, even if the money
raised by the loans was squandered,
misspent or stolen.
