Like most Spaniards who have become
prominent as leaders, he has no sense of pro-
portion or of perspective. He is the whole
he revoits. Aguinaldo. isolated from the
great world, cannot appreciate that he is
a small factor.
If the reports are accurate, Aguinaldo
proposes to ignore the United States if he
shall be able to capture Manila before Gen.
Merritt reaches the island with sufficient
force to push him aside. If he does this, it
will take a larger force to cast him out
than it would the Spanish. He may have
sense enough to see that it would be far
better for him to act with the United States,
but the men who proclaim that they shall
wear gold collars have not much of that
sense which governs affairs at the present
time.
If the man who has declared himself die
tator were the accepted leader of the people
of the larger of the Philippines, 1t would
be different, but it appears that every con-
siderable island has a chief who would re-
sist the pretensions of Agulnaldo, so that
war and turmoil would supplant the misrule
of Spain. Having been potential in breaking
the power of Spain in the Philippines, the
United States is in duty bound to establish
better government, either in connection
with other powers or alone.
When General Merritt shall arrive at Ma
Mia with the whole of his 10000 men there
will be less uneasiness about the situation
in the Philippines Once there with his
forces, the dictator with the golden collar
may get a clearer view of the situation

Devices 70 Keep oven Doors shut and

Stoves and ranges used at sea have
two peculiarities. says an exchange.
One is that the doors are made to tura
down and not to swing. and have fast
enings to hold them securely when they
are shut, so that they can't possibly ny
open. The other popularity is in the
rack on top. IL is elevated four or five
inches. and runs around the edge of the
stove to keep the pots and kettles from
sliding of.
Some stoves and ranges used ailoat
are also provided with cross rods which
run from the fixed rod at the back Of
the stove to the rod in front. across the
top to the pots and kettles and hold
them down and keep them from shift
ing. They are used in very heavy
weather. or when the ship is rolling
For some reason these cross rods are
more used on British than they are on
American ships.
When a vessel is in port the front rail
Df the rack is usually taken out. and

In these days we hear great deal
about the protection of England's in
terests in various parts OF the world,
but there are few persons who realize
what her trade interests amount to In
coin of the realm. The value Of her
foreign trade is something over four bill
lions OF dollars a year. No wonder She
wants to protect and foster such a gi-
gantic business. II is that which makes
her the greatest maritime power in the
world, and the more territory she can
seize and throw open to British trade
and development, the more powerful
she becomes. The wealth which she
derives from her great foreign trade is
the iife-blood OF the empire. We're she
to lose it she would sink into nothing
ness among the nations of the earth.
But the English are nation OF shrewd
business men. and It is safe TO count
them among the commercial wonders
OF the world for several centuries yet

UNCLE Mates BREAK.
Riled Aunt Hannah by Shooting Into

Hiled Aunt Hannah by Shooting Into
Her FRvorite Wnshtub.
One OF our neighbors, Uncle Nate as
we call him, was greatly bothered by a
whippoorwill that came nearly every
night and sat on q rock in his back
yard and sang his love song, or what
ever il is, until Uncle Nate was nearly
wild says writer in Forest and
Stream. One night he lay awake and, as
he said, stood it just as long as he could,
when he got up, and. taking down the
old gun, that was loaded with q fox
charge, he went to the back door. and.
drawing a bead on the rock, which he
could dimly see in the faint starlight,
blazed away. Then in the pleasing
consciousness of a good deed well done.
he again sought his couch.
In the morning his first care was to
reload the old gun. as there was no
telling when it would be needed. After
his task was finished, he started out for
the back yard to gloat over the man
gled remains of his tormentor; but
what was his horror and disgust to find
that, instead of holding on the rock he
had completely riddled his wife's best
washtub, which was turned bottom up
about four feet frcm the rock.
The disappointment was bad enough.
but when Aunt Hannah came out and
saw the ruin, Uncle Nate afterward de-
clared, il was worse than the whippoor-
will, and he made q break for the barn
his usual haven OF refuge in such cases.
