ARCHBISHOP OF PHILIPPINES
EARNESTLY HOPES ISLANDS WILL
 NOT REMAIN SPANISH.
Believes the Rebels Are Now so Strong That Such Course Would Inevitably Cause Appalling Bloodshed-The Re- conquest of the Natives Impossible Until After Years of Cruel Warfare.

Manila, Sept. 1S.r-In an interview the Associated Press, Archbishop Dozal of the Philippine islands said: q earn- estly hope the islands will not remain Spanish, because the rebels are now so strong that such course would in- evitably causecappalling bloodshed. The re-conquest of the natives is impossible until after years of cruel warfare" He said it was undeniable that the relig- ious orders must go, because the whole people had demanded to abolish them now that they were able to render their retention impossible. He lay the chief blame upon the Dominicans, ,Augustines, Franciscans and Recoletans, the richest orders, and next upon the Benedictines, and Capuchins, which are of less im- portance. The Jesuits, Archbishop Dozal says, are comparatively blame less. He added that the rival orders quarrel among themselves, intrigue, act unworthily and islander their opponents, thus increasing their general disfavor.
 The Provincials, who are approxi- mately equivalent to Archdeacons, are mainly responsible. They are utterly beyond the control of the archbishop, who denies possessing much power. The total number of Spanish priests in the Philippines before the war was about 1000, but lately every departing steamer has taken fifty or a hundred of them away and now barely 500 remain. A native priest privately stated to the correspondent that the reason the arch bishop hopes for the expulsion of the Friarly orders is that they have grown too powerful for him and that he wishes to strengthen himself. Several responsible Spaniards assured the cor respondent that they would refuse to remain here if Spain was re-instated in the control of the islands. Many of the Spanish soldiers refuse to serve again and Spanish officers are utterly disgust ed with the rottenness of Spain's gov- ernment and prefer to become Ameri- can subjects. The annexationists have a majority of seventy-one in the na- tional assembly, but the decision on the subject has not been finished.

Naples, Sept. 18.-A state of gloomy apprehension prevails among the pop ulation regarding the eruption of Ve- suvius, which is hourly becoming more active and menacing.

The most threatening of these flows through the Vedrinino valley, which is almost filled The observatory, which original ly stood at height of 610 metres, is now only 27 metres above the sea level owing to the sinking of the ground. Seven new craters have formed around the central one and this has not tended to diminish the fears formerly felt, which were based upon the eruption of stones and scoriae, similar to that which occurred in 1872.

Whence Came the Gordons9

In the absence of definite data one is
left to ground a theory of the initial in
spiration of the Gordons on the undis-
puted tradition of their French origin.
In the department of Lot, in the south
west of France, there is a townlet of
3, 900 souls, still known. like the Kin
cardineshire fishing village, by the
name of Gourdon. France believes to
this day that Gourdon is the seat of a
great hidden gold treasure which King
Clovis buried there in oil. a chance
find in 1S42 gives some credence to the
belief. At any rate it might be taken as
symbolic of the gift of the race of men
which France made to this country.
The province of Aquitaine, in which
Gourdon is a tiny dot, was just the
place to breed a hardy, adventurous
race, for it had long been the battle
ground Of southern France, swept by
successive hordes from the north. AS
early as the eighth century duke of
Gourdon was constable of France, and
the town touched English history when
Richard the Lion fell at Chalus by the
hand of soldier called Bertram de
Gourdon. Magazine.

Fatigue of Metals.

Grasp in both ham, strong wire or
iron rod and bend it BACKWARD and for
ward for certain length of time and
it breaks from what scientists call ia
tigue. In other words, it is unable to
stand the strain of the violent expan-
sion and compression to which the par
ticles are subjected. Much attention has
been given to this subject, and the IA
tigue and exhaustion of metals prove
to be most interesting topics.
1t is, however, demonstrated that if
the movement of the molecules ceases
before the breaking point is reached the
metal may recover. Fatigue i'll metals
is cured by rest, as is that in human
beings. Sometimes it requires years of
inaction to bring these metals back to
their normal state. Edged tools are
greatly improved by putting away. AL
most every one is familiar with the fact
that razors become after a time almost
useless. If they are put away and al
lowed to remain untouched for a period
of years, they recover their vitality, SO
to speak, and may be even better than
they were originally. Carpenters and
workers who use fine tools would find it
of great advantage to keep duplicate
sets, one of which might be put away
to rest while the other was doing serv-
ice.-New York Ledger,

"There are some curious things about
the Cinnamon in this city that l have
observed, - said one of the conductors
the other day on the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. street car line as the car stopped
and two Cinnamon got off. 'tThey al
most invariably take a car when they
have any distance to go. l suppose that
it is on account of the peculiar shoes
they wear. Another thing that / have
observed about them is that they always
buy tickets. / have been on this line for
long time now and 1 have the first
nickel to receive from a Chinaman yet.
They travel, as a rule, in company, gen.
orally two together.
''They are great people for paying
one another fare. When come around
to collect fares, both Cinnamon put
their hands in their pockets as soon as
they see me, and it is always a race be-
tween them to see who can hand the
ticket to me first. 1 have never known
of a case where each Chinafnan paid his
own fare. They seem to take the great
est delight in Offering this little cour-
tesy to one another. Watch and see if
this is not the case when you see two Of

Fighting the M.hmunds.

Private Lever of the Bluffs tells two
characteristics of the fight in which he
was hit when General Jeffrey, with
the mountain battery and escort, was
hemmed in village all night by thou
sands OF Mohmunds. The wounded We're
lying under a wall exposed to torrents
of rain and to showers Of stones which
the enemy hurled down at them from
houses near. 1t seemed impossible that
any relieving force could come to their
aid before daybreak o. that the mere
handful of Bluffs could hold out much
longer. Their ammunition was running
short Then Lever heard one wounded
officer ask another, "How many shots
have you got in your revolver?" "Only
two" "Then don't waste them, old
chap; keep one for me, the other for
yourself. :"
When ammunition was so nearly ex-
hausted that no orders were given to
fire until the enemy could be distinctly
seen, a sudden rattle of irregular fire
was heard ON one side Of the village,
followed by savage yells, but no other
sound. The few Bluffs holding post il
that direction stood with rifles leveled
ready to fire volleys directly rush was
attempted. The commotion came near
er, and just as the noncommissioned Of
ficer in charge of that post had the
command to present on his lips the
fame from native gun flashed on
bristling steel. British bayonets had
been doing their grim work there in the
darkness so silently that nobody thought
friends were so near. The relief had
come. The enemy gave way, and min
ute later Major Worlledge, with his
companies of Sikhs and guides, entered
the viIlage.-London News.

Came to Grief.

Mr.. Topnoody went to a minstrel
show last night, and the funny conun-
drums and jokes ne heard set him think
ing. So at breakfast he began ON Mrs
Topnoody. She was fretful and not very
much in the humor for pleasantly, but
Topnoody slashed away.
az say, Mrs. Topnoody, can you spell
money with four letters?"
"No, can't" she said.
"Ha, ha, that's good. A woman
never can get at this sort of thing in
the same clear headed way a man can.
Well. the way to spell it is cash.
Isn't that money!"
Mrs. 7. failed to smile, and Topnoody
started out with another
"Wait a minute, " she interrupted,
"I've got one. Let's see if you can get
it. Spell Topnoody with five letters -
Topnoody puckered his brows awhile
and gave it up.
"Ha, ha," laughed Mrs. T., "that's
good. A man can never get at this sort
of thing in the same clear headed way
a woman can. Well, the way to spell it
is idiot. Isn't that TCpnoody?"
But Topnoody never smiled, and the
breakfast was finished in silence, ex-
cept an occasional chuckle from Mrs.

A half bred retriever pulled a girl out
of the river near her home. OF course

calls an attack of ''rescue on the brain. "

Cows were not allowed to drink, ducks
and geese were not allowed to swim,

Byrcn's Marriage.

Swift said, "No wise man ever mar
ried- Byron's marriage was an act of
lunacy. The very manner of its begin
ming was insincere and theatrical. His
friends had been urging him to marry,
SO he wrote two proposals-sort OF
"sealed tenders sand sent them TO two
young ladies. One of them declined, the
other accepted. Naturally Byron mar
ried the latter. The rest is known, and
for this part of his life has the poet suf-
fcred strongest criticism. 1t did nos die
with his death, but the evil that he did
lived after him, while the good was
seemingly "entombed with his bones.
The world holds as most potent proof
of his insincerity that he made his
wife's existence a purgatory, finally
drove her from his house, even refusing
to shake hands with her at the last
goodby, and then wrote:
Fare thee WELL and, if forever,
Still forever fare thee WE'LL
Even though unforgiving, never
Gainst thee shall my heart rebel
These words were set to music and
sung with tears by young girls all over
the English speaking world, who felt
that Lady Byron was a hard hearted,
wicked wretch to SO desert her grief
crushed husband. In fact, the poor lady
never saw the verses until she beheld
them in print and read with astonished
eyes:
Fare thee well Thus disunited
Torn from every nearer tie,
Scared in heart and love and blighted.
More than this / scarce can diei

pathetic songs was alternating between

ARTIST AND CRITIC.

The Former Owes q Debt to the Latter,
Although Seldom Acknowledged.
The debt which tho artist owes the
critic is not small one, nor is it any
the less actual for being commonly lost
sight of. 1t is current belief that the
public is educated by the mere existence
of the good work of art, and not by the
calculation of its commentators. Edu-
cation by absorption is perhaps the most
deep going and farreaching form of edu-
cation, but it has never been found
practicable to rely upon it solely in
other branches of mental acquisition.
Then why believe that it can be relied
upon solely for the proper development
of the art sense? In effect it never is
and cannot be. How many people care
about poetry, let US say-feel it, are
reached by it? And can one doubt that
if more loving and careful analysis of
such of its products as appear today
were undertaken by critics competent TO
convey to an indifferent public the
perennial value of its ministrations,
some of the unresponsiveness of the
average reader would disappear, and
some perception of the eternal signifi-
canoe of the poets message would ex

nothing more tonic in the way of read
ing than the daily newspaper? We say
that one is born with the feeling for
the enjoyment of poetry and another is
not. Not so. At least. to say this is not
to say all. The feeling for the highest
aesthetic enjoyment and appreciation is
cultivable, and cultivable as is any 9TH
er faculty, by studying the material 70
be enjoyed, by reverently coming its
constituent parts. In short, vague,
dreamy delight in the presence of some
beautiful work of the artistic spirit is
not enough. 1t is not enough for intel
ligence, it is not enough especially to
produce the atmosphere of interest
which stimulates the painter, the must
clan, the writer, to sustained effort and
keeps him true to the pitch. We love
best what we know best. To rest in
loving without knowing is often the
merest sentimentality-a sentimental
ty toward which our Germanio forefa
theirs had always a leaning. while it
was especially antagonistic to the lucid
Greek and Latin spirit. Super
