There was no declaration OF war on

certain acts Of congress. but as Q mat
ter OF fact. II was war. and 50 our
courts decided upon principles which
are accepted by all civilized nations.
In March. 1898. congress raised an
army, stopped ali intercourse with
France. dissolved the treaty. built and
equipped ships OF war and commits

the latter authorized 10 defend them

very distinct recognition OF . condition
of war without declaration. II was
a limited or partial war. Congress
gave no authority to commit hostilities
on land; 20 capture unarmed French
vessels. nor even TO capture French
armed vessels lying In French port,
a. would have been the case in . con-
dition Of perfect war.
There is no reason to suppose that
war between the United States and
Spain will be at all partial. although at
arst congress may. instead Of declaring
war, make certain demands upon Spain.
with plain intimation that refusal
will be followed by an effort to enforce
them.
Once this is done. tho rest must be
left TO the president Although con-
gress II vested with the exclusive power
to declare war, the trainers OF the con-
stitution very reluctantly consented to
place 1t there. Some would have 1t vest
In the president. as in Great Britain 1t
Is the exclusive prerogativc OF the
crown. Others desired that 1t should
vest In the senate. then small and Sc
lect body. on the ground that prom2ti-
tude OF action should accompany the
possession of the power. This is true:
in the exercise OF such a prerogative as
declaring war. dispatch, secrecy and
vigor are often Indispensable and al
ways useful towards success.
Congress possesses the sole power to
provide the means by which war can
be carried on. 30 that It has control az

which has the power TO say whether

Managing Help.

The best rule for managing help, In
the opinion of a writer in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, is a two-fold one, simple
in idea, complex enough, but still pos
slble in practice. Teach your maids
self-respect and keep your own. On
your own side an even temper, pleas
ant but firm oversight of necessary
matters, a systematic plan of house
xeeping-all these keep up the mistress
self-respect in dealing with her house
hold staff. AS soon as you feel that
you have been careless, or that you
have lost your temper in trying mo-
ment, you realize that false position
exists, that endangers your self-respect-
ing relation with your maid, just as
she feels when her room is wretched,
her tools out of order, her hours of
work irregular and her training neg
lected, that her standard Is confused
and degraded. The ideal mistress Is
always self-respecting, and, having pro-
vided the essentials of self-respecting
service, may reasonably expect the
ideal maid to live up to the opportunity.

lous conversion of Able Katisbonne, the

church Jew and came out Christian,

our Lady, The story, Pugin said after
seeing the church, is demonstrably
false. Tho man could not have said q

Lady could not have chosen such a
church for vision, The man could
have had no piety in him to have staid

The Old Coppers.

What becomes of all the old copper
coin? There are 10000, 900 old copper
pennies somewhere. Nobody knows
what has become of them, except that
once in n while single specimen turns
up In change. A few years ago $780,
600 bronze 2-cent pieces We're set afloat.
Three million of them are still out
standing. Three million Scent copper
pieces are scattered over the United
States, but 1t Is very rarely that one is
seen. OF 100000 y cents, which CORE
spond In value to English farthings, not
one has been returned to the Govern
ment for coinage or is held by the
treasury. Congress appropriates about
100000 yearly for recoining the silver
coins now in possession of the treas
ury. These are mostly half-dollars and
are not circulated, because there is no
demand for them. Not long ago the
stock of them amounted TO over f5.-
100000. but 1t Is only about half that
now. The money set aside for recoln-
ing Is not intended 10 pay for the cost
of minting, but 1t is required to reim-
burse the treasury of the United States
on account of the loss which silver
pieces have suffered by abrasion The
loss amounts to $50 on every 81, 900, and
II has to be made good in order to set
the treasurers accounts straight.-At-

sllk-lined and not at all stiffened with
interlining. The majority of the mod

skirt of silk or satin, each skirt made
separately, but joined to one waist
narrower than the dress skirt proper.

DON'T WOrry.

Don't worry about something that
you think may happen tomorrow, be-
cause you may die tonight and to-mor-
row will find you beyond the reach OF
worry. Don't worry about thing that
happened yesterday, because yesterday
is hundred years away. If you don't
believe, just try to reach after 1t and
bring it back. Don't worry about any
thing that Is happening to-day, be-
cause to-day will last only about fifteen
or twenty mlutes. Don't worry about
things you can't help, because worry
only makes them worse. Don't worry
about things you can help, because then
there's no need to worry. Don't worry
at all. If you want to be penitent now
and then 1t won't hurt you a bit, 1t will
do you good. But worry, worry, worry,
fret, fret, fret-why, there's neither
sorry, penitence strength, penance, re-
formation, hope nor resolution in It,
It's merely worry.

THE CITY OF SLEEP.

Over the edge of the purple down,
Where the single lampight CLEANS,
Know We the road to the Merciful Town
That is laid by the Sea of Dreams
Where the poor may lay their wrongs
away,
And the sick NAV forget to weep?
But we-pity u.s. ali! pity us!
We wakeful; OH pity us!
We must go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City of Sleep
Weary they turn from the scroll and
crown.
Fetter and prayer and pillow
They that go up TO the Mercifu! Town,
For their gates are closing now.
1t is their right in the baths Of Night
We-pity u.s. ah! pity us.
We wakeful; OH pity us!
We must go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City Of Sleep!
Over the edge of the purple down
Ere the tender dreams begin;
Look-we may look-at the Mercifnl
Town,
But we may not enter in.
Outcasts all, from her guarded wall,
Back to one watch she crept;
We-pity MS! ah! pity US!
We wakeful; OH pity US!
We that go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City of Sleep!

summoning Help by Cutting Wires.

that ingenuity, says tie Electrical Re
view. For instance, h. IS scarcely like
ly to have propheSled that sick man,
far from the habitatiols of civilization
would have cut telegraph wire in or
der to obtain assistance. And yet such
has really occurred, according to Il Lon
don contemporary. The whole Of the
vast continent of Australia was prac
tlcally cut off from European news for
nearly twenty-four hours in the middle
of September in consequence of an In
terruption on the line between Adelaide
and Port Darwin. Inquiries were
made, and 1t was found that the wire
had been cut by cyclist who was
taken i'll while on journey across the
continent. 1t Is not related how he SET
about 1t, but he had the satisfaction al
any rate of getting what he wanted. II
Is not desired to establish this as pre-
cedent of summoning help under H.
convenient circumstances.
