The American Method.

A very good story concerning one of our
troops in Manila is told by an English
naval officer, who was an eyewitness TO
the occurrence.
A few days after the American troops
had occupied the city, / was ashore TAX
ing a look at the city and American sol
diers. The city was quite crowded with
both American and Spanish soldiers, and
they seemed to be on the friendliest terms.
The Spanish officers were walking the
streets with their side arms, as they had
been allowed to retain them by the terms
of surrender. 1t would have been hard to
tell who were in possession of the town
had IL not been for the American sentinels
who were pacing the streets. Just as 1
was crossing one of the numerous bridges
across the Pasig river 1 saw a native Fill
pno spit in the face of a Spanish officer,
and then run to the American who was
guarding the bridge demanding his protec-
ton. l stopped to see the thing out, as
was rather curious to see what the Ameri-
can soldier would do. 1t was some time
before the Filipino could make imself
understood, and the sentry took some time
to catch on to what had been done, but
you can imagine my surprise when he
handed his gun to the Spanish officer and
caught the native by the nape of the neck
and the seat of his trousers and pitched
him off the bridge into the Pasig river
Then he calmly took his gun from the
Spanish officer and began pacing the beat
IS If nothing had happenedI went my way
thinking the American soldier may not be
as military as his brother of Europe, but
he Is made of the right stuff.

LIE sECRET or THEIR sTRENGTH.

THE SECRET OF THEIR STRENGTH.
Il is a matter of much speculation by
those not in the secret how Thomas c.
Plat and Richard Croker. the big
bosses of New York politics, maintain
their hold upon the Republican and Dem
ocratc masses, and are able to direct the
machines" pretty much as they please
A writer in the New York Press gives a
bit of Information which may afford some
insight into Mr.. Platts methods. During
the first month after Mr.. Platts election
to the Senate. says the Press writer, "he
received from men In the state of New
York no less than 1900 letters and postal
cards. These were of a private and gem
orally complaining nature, yet every
blessed one was answered with the kind
est feeling and respect" The writer goes
on to say that Mr.. Plat makes it a point
to answer all communications addressed
to him. Thus he keeps in touch with the
voters, and at the same time makes each
one that addresses him feel that he is an
especial friend. To receive a letter. per-
soual letter. from so important man as
Mr.. Platt is apt to make. the recipient
feel just bit iattered; and in this matter
dwellers in cities are not different from
those who live in the country.
RICHARD Croker is proverbially known
in New York as the friend of the work.
ing man. He was once a working man
himself, and he has not in his prosperity
forgotten the boys" He Will listen to
any laboring mans tale of woe, possibly
in silence, but he will listen; and if there
is anything he can do to relieve distress
he does il. Ii may be that he drops a
dollar into the hand of the person who
approaches him, or he may scrawl a few
words on card asking some contractor
to give the bearer work. but however the
aid may come, IL is said of him that he
never sends a worthy applicant away
empty handed.
Both Mr.. Plat and Mr.. Croker are ST.
lent men, when there are reporters around.
They seldom talk for publication, and
when they do talk their deliverances are
short. But they know how to play sue
cessfully upon human nature. They know
that small things count They have
learned that little kindnesses ard atten-
tions are potent to draw and hold friends.
They make few promises, but perform

DESTRUCTIVE work OF LIGHT
MING

The weather bureau has lately been look
ing into and gathering figures upon the
destructive work of lightning, ana the
data it has made public is calculated to
reassure everybody except the lightning
rod agent. Last year there were S62 per-
sons killed by lightning IN the United
States, being an increase of q over the
year previous. The fluctuations of the death
list from this cause are very slight. Run
ming back over a number of years, it ha :
been found that the number of deaths for
any three years win foot up about 1000,
making the average per year 33S1s This
would Indicate that there is only one
chance in 1870 600 of being killed by light
ming. in a population of the size of that
of the United States. This percentage, it
is said is much smaller than the proba-
bilities of being kicked to death by horse
or a mule; and yet people are much more
afraid of lightning than they are of a
horses's heels.
Taking ten-year periods, it has been
found that the destruction of property by
lightning in the United States during pc
RODS of that length averages about 700
dwellings, $500 barns and 10 churches,
with a total of 1850 fires and a loss of
SIG 600 600. This would make the annual
average losses amount 10 80 lives, 70 dwell
lings, go barns and II churches having a
property value of 81 COO 900. And this aver
age has been found to work out
pretty evenly year after year. Lightning
may be considered very erratic in its
movements; there is no telling where ii is
going 10 strike; but 1t does not fail to
strike somewhere and get in its work pref
ty thoroughly. Still, when it Is considered
that it has some 7O,OO0,O 900 of people, and
nearly 100000 square miles of territory to
operate in and upon it may be seen that
the individual has a reasonable hope of es-
Gaping on the general average.
About one person of three struck by
lightning dies, the other two in most cases
recovering fully. Many lives are probably
lost because proper efforts towards resus-
citation are not made after a lightning
stroke. A stroke may have the effect Of
stunning a person and suspending ANNA
ton. The victim may appear TO be dead,
but artificial respiration and a stimulated
circulation of the blood may have the eff
feet Of reviving him. Every effort to re-
viye the victim Of a lightning stroke should
be made, and continued for an hour or
! more. As in cases of drowning the energy
of the workers may be rewarded, even af-
ter two hours work, by reminding of the
apparently extingushed spark of Efe.
