THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer" :"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to q physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. tPinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
f. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that 1
had to leave school. WAS tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. 1 was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. 1 followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia f. Pinlsham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as we'll as 1
ever was. / have gained flesh and have
u good color. I am completely cured Of
irregularity."

ledge at his fingers ends.
The halter and the shoemaker GO

AS Christmas approaches the days

Now comes ye season of Christmas

The huckster's station in life is

The teacher who does not Sub
scribe for and receive regularly the
local or weekly paper published in
the city or county in which she or
he teaches fails to keep in touch with
the people through the best possible
medium. The daily or weekly
paper is a reflection of the thought
Of the community through which it
circulates, and the perusal of it will
enable the teacher to acquire per-
sonal interest in the community,
which will be quickly recognized
and appreciated. If they can afford
to subscribe for only one paper, that
one should be local paper, in pre-
ference to school journal. AS a
subscriber they are sure of a well
come at the editors office, and
any little school news notes they
may wish to bring before the people
will be received and published.
Bring your local paper and its edi-
tor into close sympathy with your
work, and the benefit derived there.
from will be more valuable to you
than you can estimate. e.-Sch0ol

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED by
local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and muc-
Gus surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is
not quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians
IN this country for years, and is a reg
ular prescription. 1t is composed OF
the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials,

OOUDERT ON EXPANSION.
Thinks It Will Be Most Dangerous Expert
ment.

Frederick r. Coudert writes as fol
fows concerning the proposed annexa,
tion of the Philippines: 1--WE are the
freest, and most prosperous, and it
is lnconceivable that in the flush oi
our ever-rislng happiness as a nation
we should be wiling madly to rush
iuto the most dangerous experiment
of expansion.
"Universal suffrage has been our
motto and has solved, or sought to
solve, our most difficult problem.
But what sane man would give
universal suffrage to the Philippines
nay, even to Cuba or Porto Rico
The equality of men before the law
has been an axiom. Shall these new
citizens of Malay, Chinese and African
origin be our equals and peers?
"We gave the suffrage to unedu-
Gated men of color thirty years ago,
and a race conflict is now threatening
part of our territory. Is there no
lesson to be read in this?
"Our working classes, which are
the bone and sinew of the country, are
restless aud dissatisfied lest we subject
them to undue competition. We have
shut out the masses that poured into
California from Asia and ale barring
out the paurer laborer from Europe,
who thinks so ameliorate his condition
here.
"Will those laboring classes, when
once their intelligence is reused to
the great danger which they are run
ning-will they be content to open
the doors.

Here is a Chance Girls.

There is man in Lane, Kansas,
who wants a wife. He also believes
in advertising, which shows that he is
up to date. In order to secure the
article he wants, in the shortest pos
slble space of time, he has inserted IN
his home paper the following notice:
"a good girl wanted fer wife i am
IS yers lite hare blue eyes am worth
In realestate about 1000 dolers any
bodle excepting this offer will pleas
direct to H. B. Lockwood, Lane, Ks
Up to the last accounts the above had
brought no response. There is no
geographical limit, and competition is
"open to the world"

Cuba is about the size OF New York,
Ohio, or Alabama.
Porto Rico is little smaller than
Connecticut.
The Hawaiian Islands are somewhat
smaller than New Jersey, the largest
island, Hawaii, being about twice the
size of Delaware.
The PHILIPPINES cover a land space
about as great as New York and the
New England States together. Luzon,
on which Manila is situated, is not
much smaller than New York.
All the new dependencies together
are about equal in area to the New
England States, New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey.
In annexing lands we annex popu-
lations also. These are as follows:
Cuba-I,5ooo; 65 per cent. white.
Porto Rico-I,ooo, 900; 90 per cent.
white.
Hawaii--oo,ooo; IS per cent white
Phllipines-S,ooo,ooo mostly Ori-
entails.
Sulus, Carolines and Ladrones-
Mainly barbarous.
Roughly, we annex about ten mill
ion people, of whom 90 per cent be-
long to more or less inferior races.
The resources of our annexed terri
tory, like their area and population,
have never been calculated with ac-
curacy.
Cuba produces sugar, coffee, tobac-
co, cocoa, cotton, indigo, rice and
fruits. She has forests rich in rare
woods, and mountains abounding in
iron, coal, copper marble and precious
stones, The forests and the mines
have been scarcely at all worked.
Only 10 per cent. of the arabic lands
are now under full cultivation. Seven
per cent. is wholly unreclaimed, and
four per cent. of the lands area is un-
explored forests. The imports OF the
island were roughly estimated for 1894
at $4,000, 900 and the exports $685.
100000.
Porto Rico's productions are sub
stantially the same as those of Cuba.
In 1900 the island imported $4,000, :
900 worth of goods and exported $1o,-
900 worth.
Hawaiian exports consist almost
wholly of sugar. Its exports amount
to $I5,oco,ooo a year; its imports to
$7,ooo,ooo.
The Philippines produce sugar,
hemp, tobacco and copra. Imports
are about $II, 100000 a year, ex.
ports about $4,000, 900.
The Sulus produce teak and sand
atwood. No statistics of commerce
exist.
The Carolines are inhabited by
Malay fishermen and produce nothing
of value. The Ladrones are. in a like
condition.

"Do you believe in the use of mon

Senator Perkins, of California, who
probably has more personal knowledge
of the Philippines than any other man
in Congress says that while he knows
all about the Philippines he knows
little or nothing that is good, He was
asked If the trade of the islands was
not valuable, and he replied: '.In 1896
the exports OF the islands amounted to
only little more than $4,000, 900.
The revenues to Spain in that year
only aggregated to $I3,5oo,ooo, even
under Spanish taxation and it cost
$13,2oo,ooo to collect this revenue,
leaving ret banalce of 100000.
When you remember that it cost us
$4,000 last year, to provide for
$4,000 Indians in this country, you
can estimate how much it will cost us
to mainain the Philippines with no bal
ance from the islands in our favor"

WASHINGTON,
From our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18th, 1898,
Republican leaders are as reticent
about the Congressional policy of the
party at this session as Mr.. McKinley's
message was about the policy of the
administration towards the territory
acquired from Spain, but, young as
the session is, one thing has been made
plain. That is, that the administra-
tlon and leading republicans in Con-
gress have combined for the purpose
of preventing an early extra session of
the next Congress, if it can possibly be
done. The word has been passed
around that all of the regular appro-
priation bills must be passed as soon
as possible, and that no bill likely to
provoke extended debate will be push
ed by the leaders.
Mr.. Mckinley did a clever and
polite act when he invited Gen. los.
Wheeler and his daughter to accom-
pany the Presidential party to the At
lanta Peace Jubilee, next week.
"Fighting joe accepted the invita-
ton.
Gen. Miles recommendation for
the reorganization of the regular army,
based upon the supposition that the
strength of the army will be increased
to 100000 men, in accordance with
the recommendations made by Mr..
Mckinley and the Secretary of War,
contains much that is calculated to
arouse antagonlsm in Congress. For
instance, the proposal to create three
new officers, General and two Lieu
tenant Generals. Such positions have
been created by Congress in the past,
but it was done to honor particular
officers and the grade was only estab-
Gshed temporarily. The proposition
of Gen. Miles, if adopted, would es-
tablish them permanently and would
put men into them who have earned
no special distinction, and there would
then be no rank to be conferred upon
officers who may hereafter greatly dis,
tinguish themselves. If there is any
officer in our army who earned pro-
motion to Lieutenant General, or to
General, in the war with Spain, his
achievements have not become known
to the public. The claim of friends
of General Miles that he was thwart-
ed in every direction and prevented
from displaying his military ability by
Secretary Alger, is doubtless true, but
that certainly furnishes no good reason
tor promoting Miles to General,
*.
The status of Gen. Miles with the
administration is fully shown by the
fact that the bills for the reorganiza-
ton of the army which have been in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
Hawley, Chairman of the Senate Mill
tary Committe, and in the House by
Representative Hull, of the House
Military Committee, ignore the recon-
mendations of Gen. Miles, except as
to increasing the army to 100000
men. Mr.. Hull says the recommend
ations of Miles are good, but that
Congress would not pass a bill con.
tanning them, on account of the op-
position to creating SO many high grade
officers.
Representative Hay, of Va, tried to
get peep into the administrations
hand, by asking unanimous consent
for the consideration of resolution
requesting the Secretary of War to in
form the House what towns in the is
lands of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines will require to be garrison
oned by soldiers of the U. S., and how
many soldiers will be required, but
