Fish In Nantucket.

The residents of Nantucket are said to
be so we'll satisfied with their small is
land that they care. but little for the
outside world. Naturally many of the
men are employed in fishing, and the
old fishermen delight to tell of the fool
ish questions asked by the "rusticators"
who visit Nantucket in summer. One
summer visitor, in turn. tells this story
of the town fish market:
"Have you any salmon?" asked of
the old salt, who was sharpening h
knife.
"No. ma'am," he answered, and
then he added, in pleasantly conde-
scending way, 1--WE don't sell nothin
but fish here"
"Well," 1 responded, "salmon is
fish, you know. They are caught in

ought to eat can be caught right round

Disease. of Memory.

Writing of diseases of the memory, a
Russian doctor gives an interesting &C
count of some of the eccentricities of
his patients. In the case of a literary
man. some time previous to his seeking
advice he had been troubled with an
absolute failure of memory.
He could remember exactly every
thing he had done more than year
ago, but occurrences of later date he
had entirely forgotten. When attacked
by the disease, be was engaged in writ
ing novel, which he had half finished.
He remembered the first half, but could
not tell how he had intended to finish
1t. He was at last unable to remember
whether he had dined.
In another case the patient tells of
his travels, but repeats the tales dozen
times an hour. with the same phrases.
He would play a game Of cards care
fully and we'll; five minutes afterward
he would mention that he had not play
ed for weeks. He would say "Good
morning" when the doctor made his
first visit Of the day, but did not re-
member the visit three minutes later il
the doctor again looked in.-Londor

CATHOLIC SYMPATHIES IN THE
WAR.

1t is very strange thing that any
thies of any considerable body of
American citizens run in the war with
Spain; yet some do. Some have the
impression that the sympathies of the
Catholics of this country are with the
Spanish because Spain is the most
Catholic country in the world Do those
who entertain this idea stop to reflect
for single moment what a base as
persion they place upon nearly seven
millions of American citizens? The
present is not a religious war and no
religious question enters into it. In
Cuba, Spanish and Cubans are all de-
vout followers of Rome, and yet for
three years they have been trying to
eXterminate each other. A citizens
Americanism doesn't depend upon his
religious convictions, and no one reli-
gion is more American than another.
There is as much difference between
an American Catholic and the Cath
olics of Spain as between light and
darkness. The Catholics of this coun-
try have the same political ideas that
all other Americans have. A man can
not be raised under free institutions
and have any sympathy with anything
Spanish.
The position of the Catholics of the
United States on the war with Spain
is well defined by Cardinal Gibbons.
Catholics in the. United States have
but one sentiment" says he What
ever NAV have been their opinion as
to the eXpediency of the war, now that
it is on, they are united in upholding
the government" That expresses the
sentiments of Episcopalians and Pres
byterians, Methodists and Mormons, Of
every Christian community in the land
To charge the Catholics of the United
States with sympathy with Spain in
the present war is to charge nearly
seven million American citizens with
disloyalty. In time of peace the people
are divided into political parties, and
their religious differences are marked:
in the presence of a war with a foreign
nation they forget all this and stand
shoulder to shoulder. united people

WILLIAM WATCHING THE WAR.

1t is safe to say that no one in either
America or Europe is watching every
thing connected with the present war
more keenly than Emperor William.
The world is fast changing its opinion
of him. From regarding him as an &C.
centric monarch, it has come to regard
him as an energetic monarch, who has
abilities akin to genius. 1t was he
more than anyone else who brought
Captain Mahan's book, THE Influence
of Sea Power on History" into world
wide fame. So impressed was he with
it that he ordered the officers of his
navy to familiarize themselves with it..
He has given the German military
attache at Washington, Count Won
Goetzer, special instructions to forward
him elaborate personal reports, which
are TO be for his majesty's personal
perusal and entirely distinct from
those forwarded to the ministry of war.
In these reports he is to include inter-
esting aEecdotal matter, and, above all,
to note how the volunteers compare
with the regulars for endurance. These
reports Will be among the most valua-
BILE made; his majesty does not intend
to miss anything.

DISPOSITION OF THE PHILIP
PINES.

Some papers are assuming that the
| Philippine islands are already a part
| of the United States: the assumption
is absurd and wholly unwarranted. The
/ facts in the case are that Commodore
/ Dewey has annihilated the Spanish
| fleet in the orient, silenced the de-
fences of Manila and put the place
practically under American control.
The possession of the islands during
war time and as the result of naval
operations does not convey title. OF
course. possession of them will be kept
during hostilities, but their eventual
disposition is factor in the final ne
gotiations for peace; all that is matter
for future consideration.
But Dewey's brilliant victory and
possession of Manila has created much
talk and probably some sentiment in
favor of permanent holding of the
islands as colonies. This country has
no use for the Philippines beyond a
coaling and naval station. The popula-
ton is of the very character that con-
gress has been so solicitous to ex-
clude from the United States; it could
never be Americanized, and it is doubt
full if it can be civilized Even if it
could be, it would not be a desirable
thing to retain the islands. They are
distant from our shores some eight
thousand miles. For colonies we have
no need; our own country is so vast,
so sparsely settled throughout a vast
extent of it; its resources are so great
and so undeveloped that we need more
people: the United States will have no
need for colonies into which to pour
a surplus population for a century at
least; they can accommodate several
hundred million before that time
comes.
When the war shall have ceased and
the terms Of peace are being arranged
will be the proper time for determin-
ing what the final disposition of the
Philippines shall be. There will be in
demnity to be made by Spain, and they
will play an important part in it quite
likely; they are a splendid card to hold
in reserve.
