worth Saving.

The people of Belgium evidently be-
lieve in training their children in hab-
its of economy. Possibly no better
method of convincing the young folks
of the wisdom of looking after small
things could have been found than that
resorted to in the public schools of
Brussels. The Outlook gives the result
of the experiment;
Some time ago the children were re-
quested by their teachers to gather up
all the waste and apparently useless ar
ticles that they could find on their way
to and from school and to deliver them
to their respective teachers
For eight months the work of colleo-
tion went on. Such objects as tin foil,
tin cans, paint tubes, bottle capsules
Md refuse metal were especially looked
after. The result was astonishing.
Nineteen hundred and twenty-five
pounds of tin foil rewarded the chill
dren's efforts, together with 1900
pounds of metal scraps, 4, 400 pounds of
bottle capsules and old paint tubes that
in the aggregate weighed 220 pounds.
But it was when the articles were
disposed of and the money applied to
useful objects that the full force of this
economy was manifest. The proceeds
completely clothed 500 poor children
and sent 80 invalid children to re-
cuperation colonies, and there was a
goodly balance left to be distributed
among the sick poor of the city.

About 100 were killed and go wound
ed on board the Castillo. Indeed, some
estimates place the number of Spanish
wounded during the engagement at
over thousand men.
The Olympia was struck five times
about her upper works, and a whale
boat of the Raleigh was smashed. AL
though the Krupp guns on the Esplan-
ade of Manila were fred continuously
during the engagement, Commodore
Dewey did not reply to them, and the
battery afterward hoisted a white flag
in token of surrender.
Terms of CapituIation Unsettled.
The terms of the capitulation were
still unsettled when the McCulloch,
which brought the news to Hong Kong,
left Manila, and it was said Commo-
dore Dewey feared rioting upon the
part of the insurgents if he attempted
bombardment of the remaining forti-
ications at Manila.
The forts at the entrance of the bay
We're dismantled on Wednesday, after
they had capitulated.
1t is said the American commodore
ordered the cable to be cut because
the Spaniards refused to permit him
to use it pending the complete sur
render of the city.

And then, Jim, there was Tennyson
He said of a heroine in one of his poems
that she was "gowned in pure white. y
So you see Lord Tennyson found the
word ''gowned" to be useful long be-
fore you learned to walk steady on your
hind feet or to eat with your front
hoofs. Webster says "gowned" means
dressed id gown; clad. "
You say that these barbarians caught

which eye they caught. How is the

You are right when you say that our

Broke the Smell.

Up to the time Of Cleveland S election
it was a popular superstition with poll
ticians that 10 candidate whose name
began with the letter G could be elected
to the presidency. The idea arose from
the fact that no man whose surname
presented this popularity, no matter
how strong he was with the people, had
ever been successful at the polls. There
were two Clintons. George and Dewitt,
William H. Crawford, Henry Clay,
Lewis Cass and number of others,
who, though their prospects seemed
bright indeed, met with defeat when
it came to the test. Several of the C's,
George Clinton and Henry Clay, for in
stance, were strong candidates several
times, but never could make the
rifle. ''-Pittsburg Dispatch

HIS NAME NOT ON THE LIST.

So, by Customs Law, This Steamship Pas
senger Was Not Passenger.
A passenger on one of the transatlantic
steamers that arrived here recently
stepped into the line of people who
were making their declarations before
the customs officer and told his name.
Cant take your declaration, the
officer said after examining the passen-
ger list. II don t see your name there. =
"But got my ticket on Friday
night" the passenger responded. and
the time was too short to have allowed
of my name being put on the list.
"That makes 10 difference" an
swered the inspector Unless your
name is on the list you are not pas
senger, and cannot take your declara-
tion. Nobody not on the list can be re-
garded as a passenger.
The New Yorker said few things,
thought good many more and dropped
out of the line. Then he went i'll search
of the captain The captain came up
and wrote the passengers name on the
inspectors list and the declaration was
duly taken. After this formallty had
been finished the passenger asked the
inspector his reason for refusing to take
his declaration in the first place. To
this question he added the remark that
on number of trips TO Europe he had
left at such short notice that his name
had not got on the passenger list, but
he had never had any such experience
with the English inspector.
Il don't know any ything about that y
the official replied, ''but the rule. in
the United States is that unless man s
name is on the passenger list he is not
officially regarded as passenger and
we cannot recognize him as such until
his name appears there. You were all
right as soon as the captain wrote your
name, but until then you had no stand
ing as passenger. New York Sun.

That all the charms of woods and sea
No longing i'll my heart can stir
If, having them, must Xeave her.

But from the rest we sit aloof
And plan how some day, happily,
Our roof shall be beside the sea.

EUROPEAN MEDDLING
rs DENIED.
Day Says There's Nothing In the Rumor.
Strong Denial Comes From
Germany.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-It is stated
authoritatively at the state department
that there is no truth whatever in the
London newspaper allegation that three
of the European ambassadors had made
friendly representations to the United
States against an extension of the war
to the Philippines. No representations
whatever in that line have been made
to the state department..
The story came from London. Tt was
also said that the bombardment of
Cuban coast towns was objected to and
for this reason the blockade was partly
raised by Admiral Sampson. The arti-
Gle further said:

of Hawai- during the present war with
Spain it is believed Europe will en-
deavor to include Hawaii in the appor-

BERLIN, May 13.-The semi-official
North German Gazette, in denying a
reported interview between Emperor
William and United States Ambassador
White, relative to the German govern
ment's attitude toward the United
States, says:
1.-the Americans cannot doubt the
character of our strict and perfectly
loyal neutrality after the repeated off
cial declarations.
The North German Gazette adds:
LET this also be hint to the English,
French and Austrian newspapers which
are SO anxious to represent the govern
ment and public opinion of Germany as
hostile to the president and people of
the United States. The imperial policy
has right to feel confident that it's
more than a century old friendship to a
state in which millions of Germans
have found a second home, will not be
disturbed without urgent reasons"

DISPATCH FROM DEWEY.
The Admiral Probably Has Not Vet
Taken Manila-Merrttt and
Otis to Go

WASHINGTON, May ia dispatch
has come to the navy department from
Admiral Dewey at Manila. 1t was
dated Hongkong, but was evidently a
few days old, and does not show that
Dewey has possessed himself of Manila.
Probably he regards his original orders
as not broad enough to justify that
action without further directions, and
as his dispatch was sent a few days
ago, he could not have received the last
orders of the department. The nature
of these orders is indicated by the as.
slgnment OF two such officers as Major
Generals Merritt ana Otis to command
the troops that are to be hurried TO the
Philippines as rapidly as steam will
take them when the quartermaster has
provlsloned the ships at San Francisco.
merritt is the senior major general in
the United States service after General
Miles, and III ordinary cases, is entitled
TO the most important commands, so his
designation for this work may be taken
as an evidence Of the presidents esti-
mate OF the Importance of this expedi-
dltlon. Ihe dispatch from Dewey saws:
