In the evening twilight of winter time,
when the fire sparkles and glows and
dances upon the hearth, there are dreams
and air castles of the future in the flames
for the young woman who sits and gazes
into them. Whether these air castles will
ever become realities, is largely matter
of health
No woman can hope to be contented
wife, the mistress Of happy home and the
mother Of healthy children who suffers
from weakness and disease of the delicate
organs that are distinctly feminine. All
the air castles that she builds will crunlble
into dust unless she takes measures to cor
rect the disorders from which she suffers.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is posi-
tive cure for all disorders of these most
sensitive organs. 1t makes them strong,
for happy wifehood and healthy mother
of nearly all pain. II insures children with
strong, healthy constitutions. Thousands
of women have testified to its marvellous
merits. For nursing mothers it is the best
supportive tonic.
When dealer urges some substitute he's
thinking of the larger profit he'll make
not of your welfare.

face as we grow in thought, and that
our faces are mirrors of our souls, but
do we ever stop to think that our faces
affect out souls also? And if they
affect our souls they also affect our
health, for health is to a greater or
less extent controlled by the mind and
soul.
1t is a fact, as we have found out,
that a woe-begone expression will drive
every one away from US. Even for

quently, no matter whether she feels
like smiling or not, and laugh. 1t is a
tonic. n sitsY
Laugh methodically if you cannot
laugh any other way. Make it a busi-
ness to laugh three times a day no
matter whether there is anything to
laugh at or not. Laugh with others
even if you do not see the joke If
there is no joke this fact merely makes
one, and laughter being contagious
every one around you feels exhilarated
and more cheerful, and laughter as a
duty becomes a habit, and one forgets
to frown and groan and sigh. Laugh
whenever seized with a desire to cry
or scold.
One woman not long since cured her
self of chronic ills which no doctor
seemed able to reach by simply making
up her mind to treat herself in this
manner Her first prescription to her
self was good hearty laugh at each
meal, and the entire family circle were
in league to help her. Her health i'm
proved of course, as laughter is known
to aid digestion, and the return Of
health made her really happy. and hap
piness is the key note to beauty.

1t seems impossible for the Spanish
to tote fair. According TO all the codes
of modern warfare, when the ships of
Cervera's squadron were cornered, le-
duced and had struck their colors, they
were the property Of the captor, and
honor forbade any further injury to
them. But the Spanish, after they had
sent up the white flag, removed the
breech pieces Of the great guns on their
ships and threw them overheard They
opened the ships valves and sought to
sink the war vessels, and succeeded
partially in one case. There is even
suspicion, with some grounding Of rea-
son, that in one case, that Of the Viz
caya, the fire started on the vessel by
the exploding shells was aided in its
destructive work by the crew of the
ship. The only wonder is that the
statuettes, fine china and silverware
and costly furniture and hangings
found in the Cristobal Colon's cabins
We're not thrown overheard by the
Spanish after they ran up the flag of
surrender-the surmise is justified that
want of time alone prevented the ae-
ton.

OF THE "YELLOWS."

The New York Herald" says. give
| a yellow chain enough, and it will
hang itself as high as Haman's tree.
Which leads the New York Times to
ask if the ''yellows" have not had all
the chain they wanted and could use,
and whether any of them have yet
hanged themselves; whether any one
of them has shown signs of strangula-
tion? The Times" is right The idea
that there is a limit to yellowness we
once entertained, but it has been aban-
doned in the face Of the fact that ex-
perience proves the bounds Of such
journalism to be limitless; it creates the
food it feeds upon; it caters to tastes
morbid, vicious and demoralizing, which
it cultivates.
1t is a mistake that when yellow jour-
nalism gets too yellow people will cease
to buy its products. On the contrary,
we find that the public will purchase
out of pure curiosity and with no faith
in the product itself In fact, it has
been demonstrated that the public taste
cannot be revolted by unlimited doses
Of the yellows. The public is not
squeamish; the hotter the stuff that is
fed to it the greater the consumption.
But this by no means implies that the
better taste has been vitiated or de-
creased. It's growth is commensurate
with the increase Of population and in
| telligence. Yellow journalism simply
keeps pace SO far as 1t patrons are con-
cerned with the other activities of the
time. Clean journalism advances as
steadily as does the country at large.
1t is being constantly bettered, it's fa-
cilities enlarged and its standards ele-
waited. Comparison Of the pages OF
| 'yellows" Of few years ago with those
| Of to-day reveals the fact that what
once shocked surprised and was con-
sidered sensational is now insipid and
Unconditional with those who prefer that
sort Of current and news literature.
The yellows, from having been offensive,
have now become ridiculous, but that
by no means imlpies that their bombas-
| tic career approaches limit
But there is one consolation in all
this; while the public taste supports
the yellows. it is at the same time plac-
ing less of confidence in them, and more
and more and more turning for truth,
solid matter and food for thought to
the substantial, decent and bettering
press. The sharper the contrast be-
tween the two orders of Journalism the
better for that which is commendable,
useful and unsensational So herein
We discover at last the value of the
''yellows." They are useful as awful
examples and violent contrasts

Secretary Long has decided that the
three new battleships now building
shall be faster than the old ones There
has been a strong fight to induce him
to decide in favor Of strength as against
speed. But the feat of the Oregon, not
constructed for a seagoing battleship,
has convinced the Secretary of the wis.,
dom of adding to speed even at the
expense of power in our new battle
ships. That he has rightly decided will
be the judgment of most people. In
European navies all their recent battle
ships outstrip ours in the knots per

terbalances any loss in weight and ar

should continue This is an age of toll
erance, enlightenment, free speech, free
thinking, uplifting and advancing, and
Spain must join the procession or
march backward still more rapidly and
downward. If she had statesmen VINO
dared to look beyond the present and
lift their eyes higher than throne there
would be hope for Spain in the imme-
date future, but those of the day have
fooled her, misled her and kept her peo-
pie in ignorance of the truth concerning
the conflict and it's results.
They hope to save a weakling boy S
crown to him by continuing in this
course, and hence they dread the shock
of a possible sudden awakening of their
people TO the light of truth. Every
hour of delay they invoke for the more
gentle breaking of the news to shame
fully deceived subjects adds to the cost
Of the war, the number of lives useless
ly sacrificed upon it's Unsuitable altar,
and makes the conditions harder for
peace when it comes.
If there was broad -mindedness, far
seeing and genuine love Of country
among the Spanish statesmen and
Ministers, there would be no con-
cealments, let come what may. But,
clearly, they are laboring to main
tain the feeble rule Of a royal power
that deludes the people, teaches them
that pride in glittering crowns and
stubbornness is courage.
Students of civilization cannot view
the situation in Spain without shedding
heart tears and experiencing uangs of
agony that in this age Of general en-
lightenment there should still be a ma
ton preferring claims to high civiliza-
