Nothing is easier than ridicule; and
n nine cases out of ten where ridicule
Is used, it is resorted to only because
it is the only weapon available. The
man of intelligence will use his rea-
sou in the argument with his oppo-
nent; the man of knowledge will use
his knowledge; but the man who has
neither knowledge nor intelligence
must resort to ridicule. 1t is poorly
furnished armory which supplies no
better weapon.

This account of how an intimate
friend of the great artist Kyosai obtain
ed one of the painters drawings is
from Mrs. Hugh Frazer's "Letters from
Japan
Kyosai always refused if asked out
the negotiation by Offering the artist an
excellent dinner. When Kyosai had
drunk deeply and seemed in mellow
humor, his host would call for drawing
materials, saying that he felt an artis-
tic fancy taking possession of him. No
one was surprised, as japanese gentle
men often amuse themselves in this way
after feast. The servant then brought
an enormous sheet of white paper and
spread it on the floor with the brushes
and Indian ink beside it.
The crafty host, without looking at
his guest, sank on his knees and began
to draw, apparently absorbed in his oc-
cnpation, but Intentionally producing
few weak and incoherent lines Kyosai
watched the feeble effort in silence and
growing irritation, and at last jumped
up, dashed the tyro aside and tore the
brush out of his hand, exclaiming:
"Out of the way, You wretched bun
gler l will teach you how to drawl"
And the result was priceless sketch,
which remained in the possession of the
willy entertainer.

WHAT MILES RECOMMENDED
He hid Want More Than Six Thousand
Troops sent to the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A statement
was issued at army headquarters, re-
garding the discussion in the press, as
10 differences of opinion regarding
the troops to be sent to the Philippines.
Upon receiving news of Dewey's VIC
tory. General Miles recommended tnat
$500 men and certain guns be sent.
Later Admiral Dewey asked for 5000
men, saying the Spanish force was esti-
mated at 10000 ana rebels 10000.
General Miles therefore recommended
about l5, 425 men, over 10000 more than
Dewey asked for, Miles thinking we
should have more than the Spaniards.
Merritt objected to SO many volun-
teers and wanted more regulars.
Miles maintained that the force he des-
ignateG and the men of the Tenth Penn
sylvania, which IN addition were as.
signed. Were sufficient. The staten ent
closed as follows:
Certain newspapers have attempted
to show that General Miles did not
want more than 5000 troops to be sent
to the Philippines under General Mer-
ritt, but the official correspondence
shows this nns to be fact

A Peculiar Plant.

There is a strange wild plant in
Guadeloupe called the life plant" If
a leaf be broken off and pinned by the
stem to the wall of a warm room, each
of the angles between the curves of the
leaf margin soon throws out number
of very white tentacles, or roots, and
soon tiny new plant begins to sprout,
and in the course of week CT two at
tains height of two or three inches.
When the old leaf shrivels, the new
plant is cut off and planted. When
carefully cultivated, the life plant pro
duces curious red and yellow blossoms
While the plant is native only in a
warm country, there is no doubt that
it could be successfully grown in any
greenhouse. and as plant freak it GER
tainly is as interesting as the everlast-
ing plant of Mexico. Cincinnati En-
