Manila.

 Like the mouth of the demon death, that day. ManIla's hostile harbor lay; Stretched wide in wrath 1t seemed to be As 1t drank from the depths of the orient sea,
 And down beneath,
 Like terrible teeth, The mines awaited the Yankee prey. Straight into the mouth while the demoa slept, The Yankee fleet defiant swept; On, over the bay and the mines beneath, On, over the line of the terrible teeth;
 And the demon woke
 When the guns first spoke The Yankee guns that vigil kept. Guns flashed and roared on every side And guns from ships and shore replied, But the Yankee fleet, with sulphurous breath, In deaths own mouth, hurled words of death;
 And the Spanish ships
 From the demon lips Sank, sank to the terrible teeth untried. And the Yankee ships triumphant float To hurl their shells in the demons throatI And over the bay the Yankee cheers Go ringing back for a hundred years,
 While history adds
 For our sailor lads To the hero tales that of Jones she wrote. Hurrah for Dewey, who dared and won! A hearty cheer for each ship and gun! Cheer once again for the valiant crew With the might to fight and the will to dol
 And a deathless thought
 For the men who fought And died where their duty dread was doneI Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch.

an idea how different the history of the world might have been had Rome had that superiority over her assail ants which science has given US over our modern barbarianS. II ought, too, to fill us with admiration for the finally worn-Out Titan, which subdued and civilized so many states with no other weapon than the plum and the sword. Every modern nation is filled with ad- miration of 8 bayOnet charge, and boasts greatly when its own men make one, even after the enemy has been de moralized, as in the Sudan, by an hours bombardment by the artillery. But if this be great. what are we to say of the legions who for seven hun dred years met all the existing barbari- ans of the earth and brought about finally the great Roman peace' in hand-to-hand encounters. in which they had no advantage except training and discipline? Speaking of one of the most critical days in GauI, Caesar says that his soldiers did the business with their swords"

How fine Ostrich Runs.

A writer in The ZoolOgist, wAo has been engaged for nine years in ostrich farming in South Africa, Mir. Con- wright Schreiner, corrects a prevalent misconceptlon concerning the manner in which these great birds run. It Is generally stated that when running the ostrich spreads out its wings, and thus skins lightly along the ground, but, ac- cOrding to MT. Schreiner, this is not correct.
 ''When bird really settles itself to run," he says, 'it holds It's head lower than usual and a little forward, with a deep loop in the neck. The neck vi- brates sinuously, but the head remains steady, thus enabling the bird, even at top speed. to look around with un- shaken glance in any direction. The wings lie along the sides about on level with or little higher than the back and are held loosely just free of the plunging thigh. There Is no at- tempt to hold them extended or to de rive any assistance from them as or ganS of flight"

That travel toward Alaska is falling Dff is an established fact, and people are trying to account for 1t. One req son given is the war with Spain. It is far from being acceptable. When a man becomes inoculated with the gold fever he is not likely to stay at home for the purpose of shouting for the old lag, nor give up the prospect of for tune so as to be enabled to get a slash from an unfriendly machete. It Is not difficult to understand, however, that the stories of death along the northern trails, of starvation and frost, and the gloomy reports of those who yainly sought to win glittering plenty there, might easily tend to check the malady and at last clear the system entirely of the fever microbes.

How does a man feel on a steel war ship cleared for action, with nothing but hard, unyielaing metal on every side and death staring in wherever he may look? At any instant the solid walls may turn to flame as an explod- Ing shell brings the end of the world 10 those within them, the sea may pour In through the track of a shot, or an Incursion of scalding steam may boil the prisoners alive. Ora more nerve shocking possibility yet-the ship may .onceivably go to the bottom without the occupants of some of the con- partments knowing anything about 1t. It was suggested at the time of the We. tOria disaster that some of the men caught in the smaller water-tight con- partments might have been for two hours alive at the bottom of the sea. A crash; then quiet; then the air gradu- ally growing fouler and breathing more difficult; then, perhaps, a trickle of water through the cracks of the doors, and then the end.

There is a disposition to regard Texa,

There is a disposition to regard Texas as one of the very backward States in the Union. This impression may, in some respects, be not altogether incor- rect. But in many other respects Texas has made progress. Especially in re- gard to popular morality and in the maintenance of law and order the State of the lone star is creating a record that some Northern and Eastern States might initiate with credit to them selves. Some years ago the administra- ton of criminal justice in Texas was principally in the hands of the lynch law courts. Great outrages were per petrated in the name of humanity de manding redress for brutal crimes. But society did not get better. The rule of violence did not bring peace and obe- dience to law. The men of advanced thought and the friends of social order in Texas found that in many instances perhaps in most cases in public vio- lence-the peace officer of the county or city or town, as the case might be, made no effort at effectual resistance when a mob attempted to take a pris- oner out of his hands for the execu- ton of summary popular justice. It was then thought that if officers charged with the custody of prisoners were held to a closer accountability for the prisoners in their care the rule of violence might be brought to an end or at least restrained. The Texas Legis- lature, therefore, passed a law which perpetually disqualified for Office-in effect disfranchised- sheriff, depu- ty, constable, police officer or jailer who should permit a prisoner to be taken out of his hands by a mob for lynching purposes. It is matter of official rec ord that since the enactment of this law not a single lynching case has Oc cured in the State.

Fortune has favored this country in the fact that we had so little trade with Spain that its loss is of little account. Our commerce with that country has been shrinking for the last fifteen years, and according to report issued by the Agricultural Department at Washington 1t amounted last year to less than $14,O00, ,0O0 all told, while our commerce with other European nations in the same year surpassed all pre- vious records. In 1883 our trade with Spain was nearly $25,000,0O0. Our trade balance has been three to one in favor of the United States, and cotton formed 70 per cent. of our shipments, With leaf tobacco second. But the na- tons have had little In common either commercially or morally, and 1t will be no great hardship to find another market for such of our cotton and to- bacco as went to Spanish ports, while we can also manage to worry along without the Spanish wines and licorice root that made up the bulk of our im- ports from that country.

CAKE WALK IS FRENCH.
When 1t Originated, It Also Stood For (
 Marriage Ceremony.

When It Originated, It Also Stood For c
 Marriage Ceremony.
 The cake walk properly had it's origin among the French negroes of Louisiana more than century ago. There is lit tie doubt that it is an offshoot of some of the old French country dances. It re- sembles several of them in form. From New Orleans it spread over the entire south and thence north. It was found of convenience to the plantation negroes They were not welded by license, and it was seldom that the services of a preacher were called in.
 At cake walk man might legiti- mately show his preference for a wom- an and thus publicly claim her for 8 wife. In effect the cake walk was not different from the old Scotch marriage, which required only public acknowledg- ment from the contracting parties. So this festival became in some sense 8 wooing, an acceptance or rejection and a ceremony. This explains its popular ity with the blacks, outside of it's beau- ties, with tho accompaniment of mu- sic, which is competent at all times to command negro support.
 Cake walking has improved, as do most things that are constantly practio- ed. It has lost it's old significance in the south. Negroes now get married, when they marry at all, in the white folks fashion. It has, however, become pan- tomime dance. Properly performed, it is beautiful one. The cake is not much of prize, though the negro has sweet tooth.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

The recent request made by the pres ident of the University of Chicago fol an additional $5,000,O 1000 to be added tc its endowment funds shows how costly a thing great university Is. This in stitutiOn is one of the youngest of the great schools of the country; 1t has al. ready received in endowments about $12,0O0,000, but yet there is an annual deficiency of something like S2O0,O 900, which is not provided for and has to be raised from outside sources. To pro vide for thls about $5,00O,0O0 more should be added to the revenue-pro- ducing funds of the institution. The University of Chicago is not in this re- spect an exception to the general rule in this country. 1t costs over $1, ,000, ,0O0 annually to run Harvard University and it's endowment Is about $9,000000. Yale has funds aggregating $4,5S2, ,000, and yet the institution Is poor and Is always pressed for adequate funds to carry on its educational work. Colum- bia, in the city of New York, has $9,- 100000 in funds, but 1t Is restricted in each of it's departments by lack of mon ey. Some of the other universities In this country having large productive funds are: Cornell, New York, $6,30O,- 900; Girard, Pennsylvania, $15, ,21O,O0O; Johns Hopkins, Maryland, $3,OO0,0OO; Leland Stanford Jr., California, $3,- 100000; Northwestern, Illinois, $2,465,- 900; Tufts, Massachusetts, $1,7O0,O00; University of Pennsylvania, $2,422, ,OO0; Vanderbilt University, $1,10O,O0O, and Wesleyan University, $1,172,OOO. The number of schools with endowments of less than $1,OOO,OO0 are to be counted by the score.

Goyernment bonds have faIlen some

Government bonds have fallen some what since the Maine disaster, but this does not mean that the public supposes the United States would be beaten in a war with Spain, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Neither does 1t mean that the Governments credit is low cred. One of the things it means is that many investors believe a war would bring such a demand for money that higher rate of interest for 1t could be had than Government bonds provide. Hence there is a disposition, on the part of many holders of bonds, to sell in order to be prepared to take advantage Of the expected urgent de mand for money in various enterprises, governmental and other, and to get the higher rate of interest, which they look for. This tendency to sell sends bonds down

The arguments against the wearing of the feathers of song birds in bonnets are sufficiently strong and sufficiently numerous without resorting to such & statement as that made by Rev. Hugh o. Pentecost, in recent sermon, that, If God had meant women to wear feathers he would have made feathers grow on them" Just as we'll might 1t be said, 'Tf God had meant people to wear clothes he would have made clothes on them." But a logical ab- surdity or two may be forgiven when one who Is doing effective work against the useless slaughter of the birds.

Co one of its wings, took charge or ana repaired it. No doubt it is still in ex- istence. Of more modern autom" ta this Is scarcely the place to speak, for they are private secrets. Let us conflne our selves to merely mentioning MT. Mas kelyne's "Psycho" and "Zoo.'
 Like most things, automata have not always been what they seemed. Of many frauds upon the wonder loving public perhaps the completest was that of the famous automatic chess player of Mr. Kempelen, which was exhibited all over Europe at the end of the last century and afterward in America. It was the figure of life sized Turk seat ed behind large box, the top of which was marked in the middle for chess. Prior to the automaton's meeting an opponent the front of the box was open ed and skeptical lockers on were shown an arrangement of strings, pulleys and cylinders. After this they were allowed to examine the interior of the figure, which was hollow. Then Mir. Kempe- len wound up his Turk with key, and it was ready to play, which it did by moving the pieces with its left hand and giving three mods for check to king and two for check to queen. All the noted chess players of Europe succumb- ed to the figures superior strategy, and its skill so impressed the Empress Cath crime II of Russia that she wished to buy it and was with difficulty persuad- cd by MT. Kempelen to give up the idea. It was not for years that the secret was discovered; but, like most secrets, it leaked out at last The real chess play CT was Mir. Wronsky, Polish ex-cap- tain, both of whose legs had been am- purated at the trunk in consequence of 8 wound from Q cannon ball. While the spectators were examining the box Wronsky was in the Turks body, and when they turned to inspect that an in- genious mechanism slid him back into the box. To the fact that Wronsky was chess player of consummate skill the wide fame of the automaton, which he secretly controlled, is to be attributed. After this disclosure MT. Kempelen' 6 automaton naturally enough ceased to move mankind to wonder -

The Song of Dewey's Guns.

 What Is this thunder music from the other side of the world, That pulses through the severing seas and round the planet runs? 'Tis the death song of old Spain floating from the Asian main; There's a tale of crumbling empire In the song of Dewey's gunsl The hand that held the scepter once of all the great world seas, And paved the march with dead mems bones meath all the circling suns, Grew faint with deadly fear when that thun' der song drew near, For the dirge of Spain was sounded by the song of Dewey's guns! There Is music in a cannon yet for all sons of peace Yea, the porthole's belching anthem Is soft music to her sons When the Iron thunder song sings the death of ancient wrong And a dying wrong was chanted by the song of Dewey's guns.

A most hopeful sign of the times Is the growing respect for what are call ed ''the bread and butter sciences" ," Modern methods of education look more and more toward inspiring our boys and girls with respect for work, and preparing them for honest indus try by putting them in possession of all their faculties. The field of skilled la Dor is constantly widening; the artisans of the twentieth century will claim closer kinship with the artists; brain will guide and re-enforce muscle in field and kitchen, toll will be frightened by invention, and in good time by shorter hours.

The wisdom and unwisdom of self repression is carefully weighed by Mary E. Baldwin, in paper on Safety Valves in Home Life," in which she contends that high pressure life calls for some protective measures, and the woman who engages mind and heart in her purpose, even though she may not be classed among public workers, In- stinctively seeks her safety valves These are peculiar to her individuality, and suit, as she imagines, her needs; but sometimes they are not chosen wisely, and are overused. The intense nature, with the greatest need for let ting of steam, is the one who will make the mistake in this direction. The home of such a woman is often place where tragedy is frequently enacted. Her nervous system, wrought up to a point bordering upon frenzy, her men, tai and physical energies following its lead, there comes a moment when the strain must be relieved or mind and body will both give way. It Is not an easy thing to acquire the habit of with holding the worst from the dearest friend, and showing him only the best; but 1t Is possible when the heart is right and the purpose has even a germ of strength. One brave, gentle woman conflded to a friend her experience in trying to relieve the tension of mind and spirit without giving discomfort to those whom she loved. Her plano be- came her abiding friend whenever she felt the need of letting herself down from too highly strung condition. She played off her feelings and gradually became calm. The woman with mental resources, and with wise discrimina- ton, will learn to choose her safety valves with reference to the comfort and peace of the home, and will thus find a gain in self-respect and fn strength of will.

The South is receiving high praise from the Northern press for the una nimity with which its Senators and Representatives voted for the $5O,OOO,- 900 appropriation for national defense The South Is the most interesting part of this country. It has more inherent poetry and romance than all the rest of the land put together; Its history contains the most impressive drama of modern times. and 1t has produced statesmen and soldiers as great as any in the English-speaking world since William the Conqueror.

Rights of NewsboYs.

The Judgment comes from the Dis. trict court at the national capital that the sale of newspapers on the streets Is legitimate business, and that news boys have right to enter street cars and sell newspapers to passengers pro- vided they behave themselves and leave the car when their business is finished. One newsboy was forciblS elected from car in Washington some time ago and had leg crushed by a car running on the other track. He has just obtained an award of $5,OOO dam ages from jury under instructions to the above effect by the judge.
