The modesty and gallantry Of Cen
eral Miles were conspicuous at Santi-
ago. He had the right to supersede
General Shafter and, taking charge,
reap the glory of his subordinate's la
Dor. But he did nothing of the kind.
When Toral and his staff and Shafter
and his staff met beneath that historic
palm to adjust the terms of surrender,
General Miles, commanding all the
armies of the American Republic, sat
on one side, interfering not at all, and
making not even a suggestion. He did
not permit any question in dispute to
be referred to him. He. remained in
the background and whitfield, and
thought, and smiled, and robbed Shaf-
ter Of not a single feather of his plume.

Almost without exception these dreams
might become realities if mothers would
only teach their daughters the most com
mon sense facts about their own physical
makeup, and advise them how to protect
themselves from the perils of the three
critical periods of their lives-puberty or
maturity, motherhood and the turn of
life" Women at these times suffer from
irregularities and weaknesses which, if
neglected, will develop into dangerous dis
eases and make their whole lives wretched.
The delicate organs that make wifehood
and motherhood possible, cannot be neg
lected with impunity If they are neglect

motherhood will be a menace of death.

Why England is Slow to Fight.

The use of the stereotyped phrase "My
relations with all foreign powers continue
friendly" in the queens speech at the
prerogation of parliament, has not Allay-
ed the widespread feeling OF apprehen-
sion that British interests are suffering
from Russian intrigues in the east. Judg.
ing from the comments of the leading
organs of public opinion, the bulk of the
nation has made up its mind that the ap.
parent tendency of the cabinet to con-
fine itself to verbal protest must cease.
To appreciate the reluctance the min.
istry is showing to enter upon war
which-once commenced-is almost GER
tain to involve the whole of Europe, and,
more or less, compromise the position OF
every British colony and dependency. 1t
is necessary to remember what much
larger area of Anglo-Saxon opinion must
now be satisfied of the gravity of the
cause. In 1854 there was no cable com
munication across the Atlantic and Indian
oceans. Today if Britain enters upon a
life-and. death struggle, she will need the
help of thousands of sympathizers across
the seas, who now follow every move
ment of her diplomacy from day to day.
Moreover, in the United Kingdom itself
the repeated extensions of the franchise
have made it of vital Importance that
the great mass of the working class,
whose inoustry would bear the initial
brunt of prolonged conflict, must ap
prove the casus belli. and be willing to
incur the risk of diminished earnings and
increased taxation. To wage an unsuc-
cessful war in the teeth of even limiteo
party opposition might add the terrors of
domestic revolution to those of foreign
defeat-as in France in I87I.-Montreal

"Morro" HANG1NGs.
Needle Workers in . Pret-
ty Ornament.

The motto" hanging curtain or por-
there is the latest fancy among the
guild of needle workers. To make it
the woman who knows her business
procures number of lengths of two
inch ribbon in her favorite colors, or
varying shades thereof, and upon these
ribbons she induces her friends to in
scribe their autographs, together with
the date of inditing, the motto or
watchward which is supposed to rule
and dominate their life and character,
and any other fragments of similar
nature liked.
The lettering is done in sepia, oil
colors, colored or even black ink, ac-
cording to taste. Sepia looks especial
ly well upon yellow, golden brown or
certain shades of green; black ink is
striking upon scarlet or blue; purple
writing fluid is lovely upon lavender
OF other pansy tones. If the maker
of the portiere is doubtful concerning
the ability of her friends to do the let
tering artistically she merely asks
them to write upon slips of white pa
per, and herself copies the legends
thus obtained upon the ribbons. In
rare cases the names are embroidered
instead of written.
When ready for making up the rib
bons-varying from six to ten feet in
length-are attached to and sus-
pended from a wider ribbon as long
as the portiere is to be wide, and upon
which is emblazoned the name, motto
and other particulars concerning the
fair owner. Fringed, scalloped or
pointed ends of similar or kle same
ribbon, a line of painting or en-
broideDy, may serve to conceal the
method of joining. Once attached the
loose ends of ribbon are arranged ac-
cording to the location of the motto.
If this is near the top or bottom of the
ribbon the portiere is connected mid
way; if passing along most of the
length the waving ribbons are allowed
to hang free. Rainbow" portieres of
this order are much liked.

The growing success of the new Cul

The growing success of the new Cul
bertson mill is very gratifying TO Boul.
der people. twenty-five stamps are
now working steadily upon the sulphide
ores of the western end of the county.
With greater experience in the handling
of the ores of this district the manage
ment is attaining greater efficiency and
a point has now been reached where the
per cent of saving effected is regarded
as marvellous. The increasing bulk of
ore offered for treatment also brings
about a decrease in price, so that the
mill is now reaching point where the
elements of speed. cheapness and eff
cheney combined are being maintained
in a satisfactory manner. The success
of the mill plays an important part in
the development of the mines of the dis
trict, so that it may be regarded as a
substantial good TO the whole county.

determined upon securing stccess if sue
