Children In War Times.

OF the many forms of suffering that
the war in Cuba is responsible for, none
is so pitiable as that of which children
are victims. In Spanish households the
world over, whether in the mother
country or the new governments formed
from her colonies, the place for each
child in the family is that OF a sover-
eign. Children are as beloved and as
lopged for and cherished as ever they
were in the camps of Israel. The neglect
that the little Cubans have had to en-
dure is therefore sure sign OF the aw-
full suffering which attacks the whole
island. That they have been sacrificed
is only too true. Even children too
small to be objects OF suspicion have
been wantonly i'll used, if not killed
outright and those old enough to carry
messages have been, in some cases,
treated like grown men, and dealt with

INTERNATIONAL ISOLATION.
The Rhr.se which Stands For Principle

The Rhrase which Stands FOR q Principle
Older Than the Monroe Doctri-e.
What Is meant by the phrase ''interna-
tional isolation" as thus used Is this: The
United States Is certainly now entitled to
rank among the great powers Of the world.
Yet, while its place among the nations is
assured, 1t purposely takes its stand out
side the European family circle to which
IL belongs and neither accepts the respon-
sibilities OF Its place nor secures its adyan-
tages- 1t avowedly restricts It's activities
to the American continents and Intention
ally assumes an attitude of absolute aloof
ness to everything outside those continents.
This rule of policy Is not infrequently as
ISOLATED with another which Is known as
the Monroe doctrine, as II the former grew
out of the Monroe doctrine or were in a
sense kind of consideration for that doc
trine or a sort of complement to 1t. In
reality the rule of isolation originated and
was applied many years before the Monroe
doctrine was proclaimed.
No doubt consistency requires that the
conduct toward America which America
expects of Europe should be by America
observed toward Europe. Nor is there any
more doubt that such reciprocal conduct
|
but by both principle and expediency.
The vital feature of the Monroe doctrine
is that no European power shall forcibly
possess itself of American soil and forcibly
control the political fortunes and destinies
of its people. Assuredly America can have
no difficulty in governing its behavior to-
ward Europe on the same lines

COLUMBUS OF THE SKIES.
Incalculable Benefits Conferred Upon
Scientific Research by LacaiIle.


Lacaille has been justly called the true
Columbus Of the southern skies. Born
near Reims in 1913 and left destitute at
an early age, he was educated at the ex
pense of the Duke of Bourbon. Having
acquired proficiency in theology, like La
place ne abandoned that profession for the
study of science and by the favor of Cas-
SIM became one of the surveyors of the
coast from Nantes to Bayonne, and in
1889 took part in the remeasurement Of
the French arc of the meridian. The per-
lection with which this work was done So

Sciences, artl professorship at the Col

ically in a small observatory fitted up for
determining the places of the fixed stars.
While occupied with this work he be-
came impressed with the need of good OBJ
servations of the stars of the southern
hemisphere Accordingly he proposed an
expedition to the Cape of Good Hope,
which was officially sanctioned and carried
out with marvellous rapidity and success.
Landing in April, 1851 at the cape, which
was then mere signal station for Indian
vessels he secured a location in the wild
country near the great Table mountain
and in ii months had observed the posi-
tions of nearly 10, 600 stars with degree
of precision never before attempted in that
region of the heavens. The great catalogue
which he formed from these observations
was published in 1863 and reprinted in
| is47 by the British Association For the
Advancement of Science and until within
the last 20 years was tho chief source OF
our knowledge of the southern hemisphere.

SHE WON THE GAME.

Golf is the athletic twin sister of
whist, says the New York Times.
The good golf player cannot talk;
the game requires too much con-
centration. 1t might seem unsoci-
able, but any one that knows it
knows that there is a unanimity of
thought that makes it the most
companionable game in thu world.
But some women believe there is
no companionship without CONVEX
sation. The golf coach knows this
to his sorrow. There was a coach
who had one woman frequently in
charge who was one or the couver-
sationable kind. She could play,
and play well, but she was high
strung, nervous, excitable woman
who could not play without coach
because she needed to be constant
ly kept down. She was playing a
match one day in which she was
much interested. So was the coach.
1t was practically his game, and he
wanted to win it. The play had
been going on for some time and so
had madam's tongue. The coach
was patient. Finally madam made
an execrable stroke; it was absurd
there was no reason for it; she be-
walled it long and loudly. The
coach did not say anything for a
moment, but he thought a great
deal. Madam" he said finally,
eff you will only hold your tongue
you can play but if you won't we
may as well give up the game first
as last" The language was more
forcible than elegant, but there had
been great cause. Madam looked
at her coach, but she did not say a
word. She hardly said another
during the rest of the game-and
she won it.

ARE Many NORRO Castles
AS READERS OF WAR NEWS
HAVE FOUND OUT.
The Reason Is That Moro Means
Promontory and a Promontory Is
Characteristic of Cuban Harbors.

Readers Of war news must be
struck by the number of MORO
castles" with which our forces have
to deal, says the Cleveland Leader.
Havana's fort Of that name is the
best known building in Cuba.
When Admiral Sampson went down
to Porto Rico to shake up the
Spaniards there the principle forti-
fication he had to deal with was
another Moro castle. And now
comes word of all attack by Americ-
an warships on a third Morto castle
at Santiago de Cuba, the most i'm
portant port in the southeastern
part of the island. Some readers
have probably wondered how it
happened that no such castles were
encountered at Matanzas, Cardenas
and Cienfuegos.
The explanation Of this reoccur-
renee of the name MORO castle"
is founded on the fact that the word
MORO" means ''promontory."
Many of the harbors of Cuba are re-
markable land-locked bays, open
ing to the sea through narrow
channels, long and deep. Th y
are shaped somewhat like man S
hand, with the fingers more or less
spread and the wrist reduced in
size. At Havana, Santiago and
some other parts, one side of the
channel connecting the inner bay
with the sea ends i'll bold, rocky
headland. The opposite point is
lower and less conspicuous. Where
the higher and sleeper angle of the
shore, between the channel of the
harbor enterance on one side and
the open sea on the other, is crown
ed by an elaborate fort. Formidable
in the times in which it was erected,
this fortifcation is usually and
naturally named Moro castle, or
"the castle of the Promontory.
At Cierfuegos there is no such
fort, although the harbor is one Of
the typical bays of the Cuban coast
with a narrow entrance. One
reason is that the city is compare
lively new, and it has become a
place of Importance since the era
when Spain fortified her American
possessions with the massive and
picturesque stone castles which
modern artillery has rendered near
ly useless. Besides, the shores are
much lower there than at Santiago,
or even Havana. San Juan, the
chief city of Porto Rico, has plenty
of room for a Castle of the Pro-
montory" and it was natural that
there should be MORO castle"
to fight at that port. Matapzas and
Cardenas are on rather low parts OF
the coast, and the latter is a small
place; SO they have no MORO
castle"
This explanation will be sufi-
cent to show why the name made
familiar by Havana's picturesque
old fort is appearing continually in
the dispatches, and why it is neces-
sary to discriminate between the
various MORO castles" which
figure in the news of the day.
