Laws of Civilized Warfare.

II general war is declared. the situation
is governed by the general laws of civilized
warfare. and everything that is recognized by
the international code of laws may be done
by one belligerent to cripple, weaken and
destroy the other. even to the confiscation
OF property on land and sea. AS a general
thing. the property of citizen of q belig-
eIent nation found within the territory of
the other nation Is respected, as are the
owners life and liberty, but in this coun-
t ny such property could be confiscated by
congress and the Supreme Court, IL such
course was deemed necessary as a war
measure Spain would undoubtedly con-
hscate all the property of citizens of the
United States within its borders. in the
event Of war, regardless OF the laws bear
ing on the subject.
Under the law Of nations, a citizen of
one country at war with another, is given
q reasonable time to withdraw from the
Ecstiie territory, II he see .ft to- do so.
Although reasonable time" Ills not clearly

held that eleven months Is more than

&C nrmon interest attaches Ito the possf-
fdlity Of war between >tffise country and
Spain because Of the vast monetary in

United States government has never de-
clared war against a foreign power until
after open beliigerent acts Rn the part OF
the other power.
Property OF E.enlf.. SUBJECTS.
War having been declared. new civil con-
ditions and relations Immediately arise.
According to one authority on international
law, upon the outbreak Of hostilities,
the persons Of the enemy are subject to
imprisonment and their property to con-
fscation unless protected by treaty pro-
visions. This alleged right Of imprfson-
ment and. confiscation Ii not always en-
forced however. and notice of the fnten-
ton of the government In this respect is
usually set forth In the declaration Of war.
One Of the provisions Of q treaty entered
into between Spain and the United States
in 1786 has q direct bearing on this point.
The provision IN question II aS follows:
For the better promoting OF Commerce
on both sides. It Is agreed that. II war
shall break out between the said two ma
'tions, one ear after the proclamation Of
war shall be allowed to the. merchants IN

enough during the early twilight of
Christmas eve, but as night came on
and there were only shadows and
stiffness in the great house where lights
had cleaned and children's merry
laughter had filled their halls, the de-
preston became so overpowering that
I began to feel as if crisis were ap-
preaching and that something was 60
ing to happen to make great change,
either for the better or for the worse,
and end the painful chapter. Once
or twice as the evening dragged slowly
along and the streets became still, I
started nervously and gazed anxiously
at the chimney place, feeling sure that
Santa, Claus would come down that
way, or if he did not I would very
soon go off in fit of Mysteries. If you
have never had such an experience,
you should pray that you never do.
About midnight, and just minute or
two before the bells of the city rang out
their Christmas welcome to the day,
I ventured to suggest that probably
they would find some forgetfulness in
sleep, and as I did so I arose and with me

band sitting with bowed head. She

Growth of the Soul.

Though times and seasons are not
as important as many would have us
think, still nearly every thoughtful
person at the coming Of a new year
remembers how old he is and wishes
he were not quite SO old. Let us turn
our minds away from the tabernacle
of flesh, the least real thing in our
lives, and think little of the inward
growing old. d For the body every add
ed period u.s. loss; for the soul every
added growth is almost incalculable'
gain. How old are we? How much
older than year, two years, ten years
ago? How much quicker to recognize
the Divine voice? How much stronger
our hand and clearer our voice against
evil? How much swifter our feet to
bear the message of good will to men?
How much gain has there been in pow
er and willingness to serve? How much
more faithful are we in the chaos of
small and common duties and cares?
How much truer are we in friendship,
warmer in the home loves, more pa
tient with the mistaken and the bad :?
Round our tree of life, as it has strug-
gled up toward the sky, whether

mer green, or the dead r,1sset Of the

bell so sudden, so powerful and so in

fell to the floor in a faint. Instantly
her husband was bending over her,

mother lay, with her husband over her,
chatting her hands and kissing her
white face as his tears fell upon it.
"Without a word to him, I opened
the white silken' flannel which was
folded thickly all over the precious
package within, and as I dug down
into the soft folds I found something
warm, and then I came to bit OF

Their and mother lavished all their love

ther and mother lavished all their love
and their generosity upon this one eve
lamb of theirs. I can remember what
a scene of falryland their house was
at Christmas for the little girl and
for her troops of friends, for all that
love could suggest and wealth could
secure was brought and laid at the
feet of their darling. .~.> -.
"And what a dreadful change when
the fifth Christmas came. In the Sep.
TENDER before, the little girl, a bright
and beautiful child, suddenly sickened,
and within a week she slept on the
sunshiny slope of gentle knoll look
ing out over the beautiful blue river
sweeping by with a murmur as of
angels wings. For weeks the father
and mother refused to be comforted,
nor would they go away to other
scenes. There the little one had
filled their hearts and lives and there,
they insisted, should the empty shell
remain. Elsewhere in the world there
was nothing; in that spot were, at
least, the memories of their idolized
one. I was with them a great deal,
and as often as I could, I sent my own
children to visit them, and from these
and other playmates Of their lost one
they derived much comfort. Eut l

cry whose gladness cannot be de-
scribed, he ran to me and, snatching the
baby from it's covering, he kissed it
and laid it down on the bosom of his
wife with it's fat little fists digging
into her cheeks and neck. I. don't
know, nor does anything human, what
the baby's power is, out in minute
the woman began to stir uneasily, and
to move her hands about as if search
ing for something, and then, with a
cry like her husbands for gladness,
she opened her eyes and her arms, and
the baby, with satisfied COO, cuddled
close to the mothers breast.
"That was the crisis, and as the
father dropped beside the side of his
wife with the child in his arms, and
prayed fervently, I broke down COM
pletely and cried as if all the sorrow
in the world instead of all it's gladness
had come into that lonely house this
Christmas eve. So they called the
baby Santa Claus, and as she grew up
she became indeed, as you say, veri-
table Santa, bringing only good things
to all the world that lay about her."
"And do they know nothing of herr"
I asked.

Christmas in New York.

Jacob 4. Riis, in an article in the
Century Magazine on 3*Merry Christ
mas in the Tenements," says:
In hundred places all over the city,
when Christmas comes, as many open
air fairs spring suddenly into life. A
kind of Gentle Feast of the Taber-
nacles possesses the tenement districts
especially. Green-embowered booths
stand in rows at the curb, and the
voice of the tin trumpet is heard in
the land. The common source of all
the show is down by the North river,
in the district known as Ethe Farm"
Down there Santa Claus establishes
headquarters early in December and
until past New Year. The broad
quay looks'then more like clearing in
a pine forest than a busy section of
the metropolis. The steamers dis
charge their loads of fir trees at the
piers until they stand stacked noun
tain high with foothills of holly and
ground-ivy trailing off towards the
land side. An army-train of wagons
is engaged in carting them away from
early morning till late at night; but the
green forest grows, in spite of it all,
until in places it shuts the shipping
out of sight altogether. The Fair is
redolent with the smell of balsam and
pine. After nightfail, when the lights
are burning in the busy market, and
the homeward-bound crowds with
baskets and heavy burdens Of Christ
mas greens jostle each other with
good-natured banter-nobody is ever
cross down here in the holiday season
it is good to take a stroll through
the Farm" if one has a spot in his
heart faithful yet to the hills and the
woods in spite of the latter-day city.
But it is when the moonlight is upon
the water and upon the dark phantom
forest, when the heavy breathing of
some passing steamer is the only
sound that breaks the stiffness of the
night, and the Waterman smokes his
lonely pipe upon the bulwark, that
"the Farm has a mood and an at
mosphere all its own, full of poetry,
which some day painters brushSwill
catch and hold.
