SPAIN CANNOT HOLD tn

n

All intelligent opinions during
the past month have bson in con

salvation for the Philippine archi
pelago lies in the full establishment
there OF American authority. The
Spanish forces would be- wholly
unable TO quell the rebels under
Aguinlldo aud other leaders, but
on the other hand, the rebels
themselves are not sumc ientlv

to establish peace aud order. Ii
H. to themselves they would
break into warning fic'Ions at once,
Manila would bs looted. all foreign
u al mercIal interests would be
sacrificed and anarchy would pre-
vail. Already they are acting in
dependentlY in different islands.
Spain would. OF course, endeav,r
to sell the isllMds to European
powers. But here. az ,in. all sorts

Germany and England, on the
other hand. would assuredly not

would protest against an English
ISOLATION Of the Philippine question.
The Japanese. undoubtedly. would
be glad to take the islands. but
neither Europe. on the one hand,
nor the Filipinos. would tolerate
that. The loss Of the Philippines
by Spain has really been inevitable

Curing Meat.

As the cool weather approaches we
tn ink with pleasant anticipation Of the
fresh meat we are soon to enjoy. Per-
haps it is in accordance with the old
adage that "every crow thinks his own
the whitest," but do think our wsy Of
curing meat is the most satisfactory,
and will give it for the benefit Of some
one else. When the hogs are killed
hang in the smokehouse over night to
cool, leaving the door open if possible.
Next day have them cut up and rub
hams, middliDgs and shoulders with
saltpeter, two teaspoonsfal to each
piece then salt well aud pack away
two weeks to take the salt. At the end
Of this time begin smoking with cak
chips. When this has continued Fix
weeks or two months il ear be estopped.
In March have large pot filed with
water and keep it boiling and seald
your hams in for five minutes, or even
longer. AS each ham is drawn from
the pot lay it on clean plank in the
suaniest place to be found. When all
have been treated thus, begin with the
first and put them in bags cut TO fit a
ham. Have the bags made Of good
cloth and sewed as tightly as possible
to prevent skipper bugs getting to them.
Treated in this manner meat will keep
over two years as good as ever.-Amy
Anderson.

Medical Hints.

their throats with sage tea and horax

a Great Natural Bridge.

This beautiful wonder Of nature is
situated twenty miles southwest Of
Douglas, Wyoming, where the La
Prele creek breaks through the foot
hills Of the Laramie Mountains. The
stream here flows, OF rather tumbles
and pitches, through a narrow, ragged
canon about 1000 feet in depth. Near
the lower end Of the gorge a ledge or
wall of solid rock, about 80 feet in
height, stretches right across the canon.
In time long past the water has plung-
ed over the opof this rock wall, which
was then natural dam; but finally
the water found its way underneath,
and the result is this bridge.
In span of its arch it exceeds any
thing Of its kind in the known world.
From buttress TO buitress the bridgk is
$50 feet highest point Of arch ab0ut
seveaty-fiye feet above the water, and
breadth Of under side, up and down
stream, eighty feet. The arch is almost
as perfect as though built by mans
hands rather than formed by the action
of water. Not alone for this remsrk-
able bridge does it pay the tourist to
visit this spot the wild, grand beauty
OF the canon is well worth seeing, and
added to this is a Crystal Cave in
which may be seen countless beau
tiful quartz crystals Of various sizes
aud shapes. - Viek's Magazine for

Picture Hanging Time.

When the pictures are once more in
place It'll a pretty sure sign that house
cleaning is about over.
In rehangiBg the pictures try to
make some changes from last years
arrangement, and, above all hang
them intelIigently.
A picture with shadows should, if
possible, have the light side nearest
the windows, so that the shadows will
fall naturally.
1t should be remembered that a.
though oil paintings look better hung
in the usual way, with a sloping from
the top to the wall at the bottom, yet
etehings and water-eOlors often look
better hung flat against the wall.
Pictures do not necessarily come in
pairs, and although often two pictures
similar in size and subject may find
convenient places on corresponding
parts OF the wall, yet quite as often the
stiff effect, by pairs or companion
pieces" takes away the artistic value
Of both pieces.
Pain6ngs or any other pictures should
not be hung 50 high that it is uneom-
Portable to look at them, but some
pictures are OF such large design or
Brilliant eolorings that they look much
better hung rather high than lower
down.
1t is much better to hang the pict-
ures from holdings than from nails in
the wall. and the mOldings are not
very expensive to put up, and thsv
give certain artistic furnishing be-
meath the deep paper border, even
when there are few pictures to hang
from them.
