corernor of the PHILIPPINES.

Lieutenant General Bernardo Angus
ii, governor general Of the Philippines,
gained his experience of war in the sup
passion of the last Carlist rebellion in
Spain. He took an active part in the
campaigns which broke the power OF
the Carlist leaders and won for himself
the reputation OF being an energetic SOL
der, devoted to his profession. He held
several important commands, and at the
close Of the war had attained to the
rank Of general of division. He was at
that time comparatively young man.
Today he is So years old. Three years
ago he was appointed commander OF the
Eighth army corps, stationed at Coru.
ma, and later was placed at the head OF
the Sixth army corps at Burgos. He has
not had much experience in Spanish
colonial affairs, having been appointed
governor general Of the Philippines only
few months ago.

Mother Revell, old campaigner and
fearless of weathers, pulled on warm
ly lined pair of rubber boots that show

skirts, wrapped a warm shawl over her
head and shoulders and ventured boldly

creek, plodding through the knee deep

Good Rules For Living.

Much of late has been written about
the various kinds of fool which partic-
ularly nourish or supply the waste OF
| the BRAIN That the las,rs of the brain
are exhausting to the animal economy
is very true, but the experience of the
studious has proved that it is not so
much the intensity of the study as the
length of time spent on it and neglect
OF relaxation that produce the exhaus-
tion. German students generally study
more hours than we do here, yet break
downs very rarely occur among them.
The reason of this is they take better
care of the body for the sake Of the mind
of the house because OF the tenant
that occupies it.
The real fact is that the majority OF
US rust out rather than wear out. That
the brain is affected both by the quail
ity and quantity of the food and drink
like other parts of the body-perhaps
more il proportion to the amount of
blood it contains-no Psychologist will
deny But that there are certain kinds
of focd-say fish and milk, as some
have maintained-which are specially
adapted to repair the exhausted brain
has never been actually demonstrated.
The best way to preserve the brain Is
above all not to unduly tax it, to eat
temperately OF such food as has Eeen
found by experience to agree with the
stomach, to avoid late suppers and
night work and to sleep as much as ma
ture requires. New York Ledger.
