Sit on the Floor.

An eminent English physician, Sir
James Crichton Browne, who has won
derful aptitude for making medical
subjects interesting to the public at
large, announces that men and women
would derive great benefit from Sit
ting on the floor instead of chairs,
Women would benefit even more than
men by the practice.
The position of sitting on the floor
or the ground is more natural than that
OF sitting on chair. 1t was once
general with the entire human race. 1t
is both healthy and natural.
The exercise of getting up from and
down to the floor is beneficial. Through
the general adoption of the sitting
posture among the civilized races many
muscles have become stiff or obsolete.
Persons who sit on the floor have
strong back and thigh muscles. Turks.
tailors shoe makers are examples of this
fact.
If you sit OIL the floor you can change
your attitude as often as you please,
and can enjoy an endless variety of
pose, and however often you alter it,
and however you may place yours elf,
there is never any chance of your fall
ing off. If you sit on the floor you can
achieve all kinds of comfortable posi-.
tions which it is impossible to obtain
even with the easiest of easy chairs.
The influx of visitors need never cause
anxiety to the well-constituted mind on
the subject of chairs. All he has to
provide is quantity of cushions
cushions of every size and shape. Let
guests select any they please, and it
will be their own fault if they are not
comfortable and happy.
It is, of course, only desirable to sit
on clean floor st. Louis Republic.

A Cabinet Vote.

If it be true that there exists any ser
ious disagreement in the Cabinet over
the policy of taking to ourselves definite
ly the Philippines, Abraham Lincoln's
method of dealing with debated ques-
tion supplies the model for procedure
now.
According TO the late Ben Holiday,
he, Holiday, was invited by the presi-
dent to be present while the Cabinet
concidered certain important measure.
The discussion was long, thorough, and
very earnest, and at its conclusion it
was plain that the Cabinet was unit.
At the proper time the President said:
Gentlemen, we will vote. Those in
favor, say ave."
"Ayer" said the President.
''Those opposed, say no." continued
Lincoln, and every member in the Cab
met voted no.
"The ayes have it," said Lincoln;
and he lived to felcitate himself upon
the frmness of his judgment.-[New

MASON ON THE FUTURE.

The Senator Opposes Placing Our Flag
Over Amy People Against Their Wishes.
Notwithstanding light fall of rain
and threats of heavy storm Senator
William E. Mason had an audience Of
about 4, 900 at the Monona Lake assem-
bly, the other afternoon near Madison,
Wis. His subject was "The Evolution
of Nation" and as expected he dwelt
with the present war. He gained the
good will of his audience at the start
by taking off his eyeglasses and wiping
them as means of calling attention to
his optical defects and saying jocularly,
"Thet's why I'm not at the front with
Bryan" Getting down to the present
situation he said:
"But what of the future? am asked
that every hour of the day. How about
the new territory? Will we keep Cuba
and Porto Rico and the Philippine is
lands? Are we to have some indemnity
for the loss of men and money? Can we
not put our flag over all the islands on
the sea? To answer these questions
would take more wisdom than I ever
hope to possess. The future is sealed
book. Events are moving rapidly. The
people, believe, have confidence that
neither the executive nor the legislative
power will do any cowardly or selfish
act. !, speaking now as a citizen, am
opposed to the whole doctrine of i'm
perialism. would never put the flag
that love above any nation in the
world against their wishes. Spanish
sovereignty must go, and go to stay for
ever, from the continent if our flag stays
in the sky. Spain has been weighed and
found wanting, but it does not neces-
sarily mean that we are to force our
flag above the islands of the sea against
the wishes Of a downtrodden people
who have been robbed for centuries by
Spain and to whose gallant defense
we promised the world that we would |
unselfshly go. We ought not to profess |
to the world that we are the good Sa- |
maritan if we are to carry a bag ON our |
backs wherein to deposit the profits of |
our holy calling. New York Sun.

HE SAVED THE DAY.
How General wheeler's warlike Spirit
Prevented q Retreat at Sam Juan.

| Prevented Retreat at San Juan.
A man can get old, but the warlike
spirit seems never to perish. If the
American army in Cuba today had the
opportunity to vote for a leader, it is
probable that "Old Joe" Wheeler Of
Confederate army fame would get the
majority of votes.
Sick and weak from hardship, this
veteran arose from his bed on July /
and went forth into battle. His temper
ature on the day before was 102 degrees,
but the boom of the cannon acted as a
tonic, and he went to the front in spite
of the advice Of his physician. He rode
about the firing line all day fearlessly
and with word of encouragement for
all.
After ten hours of fighting Ell Caney
had been taken and the blockhouse at
San Juan had been wrested from the
enemy. With the fall of night came
doubt and discouragement. The list
OF dead and wounded was appalling.
Almost an eighth of the army had been
swept away, as far as its fitness for real
fighting was concerned.
There was consultation of generals
and leading officers at General Shafter's
headquarters. More than one voice pro-
claimed that we had taken positions
which could not be held and advised
that our army retreat to a safer position.
But it was here that this lionlike old
man was heard He made speech
which will some day be held as part
of the history of the nation.
He spoke wrathfully and maybe an
grily.
"NeverP' shouted Wheeler. eve
will not give up one inch of the ground
we have taken today. Not one inchI Do
you all understand that? Not one inch!"
And Fighting Joe" saved the day.
His voice carried the meeting, and there
was no retreat ON the part of our forces.
The moral effect on the army Of giving
up ground SO hardly fought for would
have been demoralizing. But the Span
iards did try to recover the positions
they lost in the night attack which they
made. How they were driven back has
already been told. 1t was said by Gu.
Ian priest who came out, of Santiago
that the Spaniards lost over 1, 600 killed
and wounded that night.-John M.
Maxwell in Chicago Tribune.

BEANS VERSUS BULLETS.
The Former Is the More Effective Weapon
ARninsf ffa Gnaniarda

The Former Is the More Effective Weapon
Against the Spaniards.
There is something quite refreshing
about the way the Spanish garrisons in
eastern Cuba are surrendering. All that
seems to be necessary to convince them
of the desirability of becoming prison
ers Of war with promise of free ride
to Spain is glimpse of Toral's army at
Santiago.
Lieutenant Miley of General Shat
ter's staff makes little excursion al.
most daily to Palma, Soriano, Hongo
or some other fortress in the interior
and gives glowing account of the sur
render idea. The Spanish officers want
to see for themselves. They return with
Miley to Santiago. There is tantaliz-
ing odor of American bacon and beans
hanging over the city. In the cafes and
saloons there is much gayety and many
rounds of free drinks.
Then there is the certainty of speedy
return to mother, home and friends.
We can fancy the willy Miley saying,
"Have one with me, senor," as he pre-
pares to bid goodby to his guests. Ger
tain it is that they gallop back to their
mates, and surrender follows just as
surely. This mode of procedure reflects
great credit upon Spanish intelligence.
It shows that the dons know a good
thing when they see it and are pushing
it along. The diet furnished to the pris-
oners by the American commissary is
said to have a remarkable effect upon
them. Many are showing desire to be-
come citizens of the United States or to
remain in Cuba under the delightful
now prevailing in and around
Santiago. Bacon and beans, not bullets,
may be the ammunition of the bloodless
wars of the future. Louis Repub-

General Ludlow Declared They Fought
Bravely and Did Not Shirk Duty.
The following letter, written by Gen.
eral William Ludlow, who commanded
the American right, to General Garcia
after the fall of Santiago, seems to show
that much credit is due to the Cuban
troops for the services they rendered
during the investment of the Spanish
stronghold, in spite of reports to the
contrary:
NEAR SANTIAGO, Cuba, July Is, 1893.
DEAR GENERAL GARCIA-I beg to congratu-
late you as well as ourselves on what seems
now to have been fortunate solution Of the
Santiago problem, resulting in the success of
our combined forces in the taking of the city,
the departure of the Spaniards and the resto-
ration of peace in Santiago.
Permit me to say to you that your forces
have performed most notable service, and
their work has been invaluable to us not only
in scouting and procuring information, but in
the vital matter Of the construction of trenches
and defense Of the investment Of the city
Your people have accomplished an immense
amount OF work, with almost no appliances
whatever, and have cheerfully surrendered the
use OF them to our own troops when the con-
tinuation Of the investment rendered 1t neces-
sary to move our regiments forward to the
right. I make this statement, general, per-
sonally and not officially, because 1 am but a
subordinate commander, but do SO for the
reason that have been more closely in touch
with your forces and have had better occasion
to observe their work and the value of their
cooperation than perhaps any other.
desire to thank you also for the services Of
General Sanchez and his troops which were
placed at my disposal, and / desire to COM
mend General Sanchez to your favorable con-
sideration. He has promptly and willingly
complied with every demand / made on him
and has performed valuable service in extend
ing our right flank to reach the cemetery and
cover the Cobre road. / shall take another oc-
casion to thank you for the innumerable per-
sonal courtesies that you and the officers of
your command have shown me and which
hope to have an opportunity to repay in some
wise hereafter. l beg to remain your very
obedient servant, WILLIAM LUDLOW,
