BewiIdering Results That Followed Pho

A well-known attache Of the HolleD-

want in his household, whose complex
ion would make Erebus look like early
twilight. Some time ago this dusky
maid determined she would have her
picture taken She wanted number
of copies to send to 'Rastus and her
other friends and she had a personal
desire to see how her looks had im-
proved since the last photograph.
Nothing would do but she FAUST pat

day, attired in her Sunday-go.to-camp-
meetin' clothes, she visited the studio,
looked pheasant, and was assured thai
the photographs, when finished, would
be. promptly mailed to her address.
In due course Of time the package
arrived and the delighted girl hurried
! back to the kitchen to open it.
A few moments later one of the other
members of the household heard dull
thud, accompanied by wild cracking.
She HURRIED back to the kitchen and

Preserving Order in til. Philippines.

There would be no need of q large
army to preserve order in the Philip
pine Islands. In 1851 the Spaniards
only had seven battalions of infantry,
two sQuadrons Of lancers and about
LOCO artillerymen. The latter, and
the sergeants of the other troops, were
Spaniards, the others natives. This
force was kept in Manila. Cavite was
garrisoned by the navy, and the rural
districts had native pellce under
Spanish officers. This army was large
enough until the Spanish-French ex-
pedition to Cochin-China caused new
.battalions Of infantry to be raised for
foreign service. Subsequently Spanish
misgorernment and over heavy taxa
tion made the natives rebellious; and
then came the supposed need of more
troops. What was really needed was
justice, official honesty and moderate
taxation.-The Independent.

thought of falling unnerved him he
grew dizzy. Then he remembered q

friends seemed so much pleased at
his dangerous position. His musings
in mid-air continued until he heard

"Hold on, for I'm going"
"Good-by," said Mccarthy.
"Good-by," said the girl.
Although at height of $500 feet,
Mccarthy by this time had begun to
be encouraged by the presence of his
airship compe penion. He, further, had
hoped that because Of his accidental
trip she might not make her drop in
the parachute. Her ann unced start
homeward, therefore, gave him some
uneasiness. He naturally preferred
her company; but with true Green
Mountain grit he held on to the ropes
and patiently waited for her depar-
tu"e.
From his boyhood Mccarthy had
lived on farm and had never studied
ut the little white schoolhouse on
Waitsfeld Common such questions as
The behaviour of hot-air balloons in
the sky. Therefore, he never on
pected when his friend left him to
shoot higher in the air. Personally,
he was satisfied with $500 feet, but he
was forced to obey the law of nature.

next few seconds the solitary prisoner
closed his eyelids, held his breath and
grasped the rope tighter. He quickly
rose 500 feet, aad there at an altitude
of 5000 feet hoated lazily in the still
mountain air. Far above Bald noun
tain he took panoramic view of the
scenery. which showed the Montreal
mountain i'll Canada, the white peaks
in New Hampshire, the whole sweep
of Vermont to the south and Lake
Champlain and the Adirondacks in
New York state But the man in the
balloon soon tired OF his view. He
then waited for the hot, smoky air in
the car to cool and take him home.
Cu the trip homeward, Mccarthy
equalled in grace the parachute drop

cooled he slowly descended and finally
disappeared not half mile from the
park behind clump of trees in Fay

he lodged the falling canvas and i'm
mediately started icr the fair grounds.

A NOD AS GOOD AS A WINK.

The hint which Major Langft left
obligation upon the part of anyone
here to take Major Langfitt's views
with regard to the harbor. His views
are not in cOnsOnance with the views
expressed by the Chamber of Com
merce. His~shore line will cut off the
extensions of wharves as proposed. But
these extensions are regarded as only
temporary eXpedients by our people
Why should not they be proceeded with
without reference to Major Langfitt's
opinion.
The report of the major and the
board is after all merely tentative; it
may or may not be adopted in Wash
ington. We are under no obligation to
wait and see what will be the outcome
of the report We can deal with things
that are and not with things that will
be. 1t may be months before the re-
port is presented and it may be many
months before it is acted on. Why then
should we wait?
The major practically gave a wink
to the Chamber of Commerce and a
tip that possession is nine points of
the law. If the work is done now by
the government it is not likely to be I'M
done when the harbor falls completely
into the hands of the Federal govern
ment.
The home plan is not one that
cOmmends itself for permanency, but
it is one that will relieve the great
pressure in loading and unloading
which is at present felt. Something
must be done temporarily for that. AS
to the future, in its own good time the
Federal government will doubtless put
the harbor into good shape, not par
ticularly on our account, but because
it is to it's own interest to do so. 1t
will be done the sooner, because it will
be needed for federal purposes. Were
it not so it might be long time before
steps would be taken. We may be sure
of this that what we do temporarily
will have no effect upon what will be
done thoroughly and well in the flu
turn

Gomez is now complaining of the in
gratitude of the Cuban people. But in
gratitude is what all men who confer
benefits must expect. Spain was un-
grateful to Columbus, Italy to Carl
baldi, Rome to the Gracchi, and so on.
The man who goes in for patriotism
may as well make up his mind to in
gratitude and to poverty, and to every
thing that is unpleasant and VeXing.
Gomez as a fact is better off than
many of his forerunners, for he has
been a thrifty patriot, and dipped deep
into the Golfers of the patriot fund. He
has, too, a very comfortable slice out
Of Uncle Sans three millions. For a
patriot out of business Gomez has
really nothing to complain Of. One used
to see plenty of them around Leicester
Square in years gone by. They were
very threadbare, had a strong preju-
dice against soap and water, and a
strong odor of garlic. Now Gomez can
live at ease in New York, London OF
Paris, and forget Cuba and the Gu
bans, whose gratitude Uncle Sam is
now earning. and viii find of a some
what similar character to that which
Gomez complains of.

MAKING HOODLUMs INTO MEN.

"Old Salt" has been set thinking by
an article which appeared in The Star
of April goth, and he has thought to
some purpose. A communication from
him appeared yesterday, and one deal
ing more in detail appears today.
The problem Of having some estab-
lishment to which to send the embryo
hoodlum that may develop into Grim
inal is one that must be of interest to
every citizen of a community, and
some solution to this "Old Salt" sup
plies He suggests a training ship. He
is quite right when he says that boys
who get sent to a reformatory are in
nine cases out of ten made of the stuff
that properly guided and trained will
make men. They can become hardy,
self-reliant, bold youths, fit for doing
mems work.
Training ships have proved a success
in Europe, and many a man. now do
ing well, owes his success in life to the
training ship. The designation Re
formatory School" carries a stigma.
One of the boys goes wrong The ex-
preston would be- "Oh, he was in a
reformatory school, what else can you
expect?' The stigma takes a long time
to eradicate.
Another advantage about the train
ing ship is that the boys when they
leave are taken out of their surround
ings. They don't go back among the
old companions and into their old
haunts. Their work as sailors takes
them away, and they have the opportu-
nifty of rising untrammelled by the
surroundings of an evil past. "Old
Salts suggestion then merits more
than passing notice. 1t comes from a
practical man and it offers a practical
solution to a difficult problem a prob
lem which has occupied our educators
and our thinkers. 1t is a question that
can well occupy the consideration of
the Minister of Education and the
Commissioners. "OId Salt is no or
binary seaman, but a thoughtful,
Christian man, who desires the good
of the rising generation, and believes
there is worth in it, even if it is pre-
scented as a ragged hoodlum His plan
is to make men out of young scamps.
who might otherwise become mature
criminals.
1t would be a good thing if some one
would offer a suggestion with regard
to the hoodlum element among the
young girls. AT present we have abso-
lutely no institution to send them to,
and in some cases they remain in the
schools a source of contamination to
the others. This is a more serious
question, even, than that of the boys,
yet we have never as a community fac
ed it. Attorney General Cooper, when
he was Minister Of Education, thought
of it, but his plans never reached fru-
ition, but another hand may carry it
to fruition, and would have his as
ssistance no doubt At any rate the
subject should be discussed fully, and
those who have suggestions should now
make them.
This we may properly take to heart
