Words to He Il.

wish to call attention 10 the use of
certain question begging adjectives in a
way which hope TO see largely eliminat-
ed from philosophical discussion.
In characteriZing another's doctrine we
should rarely, II ever, affix such adiectives
as ''mere," bare" brute dead,
abstract, TO his expressions.
In the first place, take the word "mere."
Any one who will take the trouble to no.
tice tho use of this word as applied TO an
opponents doctrine cannot fail, think,
TO be convinced that il Is doing u won
drous amount of harm. 1t has, of course,
important uses as applied to ones own
doctrine, but think can show by u few
examples that when used i'm characterizing
an opponents opinion it is very .pt to ex-
press, primarily, irritation and the attempt
to ridicule, 10 threaten or to emba.rass an
opponent. IL IL does not possess these inn
plications, It Is pleonastic, like any oath.
1t is especially scathing when coupled
with such words as brute" bare, or
empty" abstract" dead" so, for
example,:
A writer Is discoursing on tho deep
wealth of tho emotional life. His oppo-
nent straightway aims and discharges his
heavy artillery at the absurdity, fickleness
and triyiality of "mere sentiment" OF
course this is caricaturc and not doscrip-
ton, for IN ere sentiment" Is not what Is
moant.-Journal of Ethics.

THE PLAIN OF CUISINES.
Its Transformation Into the Field of
the Cloth of Gold.

Roberta B. Nelson gives n very good
idea of the magnificent display OF Henry
VIII of England and Philip L of France
when they met in good fellowship ON tho
plain of Cuisines $50 years ago.
The kings retinuc had been selected
from the noblest of the kingdom. Wolsey,
with his 300 followers, headed the escort,
and was followed by dukes earls, barons,
bishops and knights, with their retainers
The escort numbered 1000 horsemen, not
including the queens escort, numbering
nearly 1000 persons and 500 horses. The
French king had an equally splendid ret
inue. King Henry and his great caval-
cade were taken, on arrival at Cuisines To
the magnificent palace provided by VOL
sey. There was an old palace there, and
Wolsey had established himself in that,
and erected one for his king. The palace
was the most beautiful place imaginable.
1t had SD many glazed windows that it
looked as though built of crystal and
much of the woodwork, both inside and
out, was covered with gold All the way
from the gate 10 the door were rows of sill
YER statues. Inside, the walls of the cham
bers and halls were hung with magnificent
tapestry embroidered in gold, and the cell
ings were draped with white silk.
But Henry was not to spend all of his
time in his fine palace, for tents had been
erected on the plain, and in these the two
kings and their suits were to lodge The
tents of the French king were pitched just
outside the walls of the town of Ardres
and extended almost to the tents Of King
Henry
The tents in which the two queens were
lodged Were covered with cloth OF gold, as
were also the tents of the ladies in attend
ance upon them and of all members of
the royal families. The effect was daz-
cling. Beautiful payilions, hung with
cloth of gold, dotted the plain. Banners
foated everywhere; fountains of wine
spouted in the bright June sunshine;
horses, decorated with huttering ribbons,
pranced about gaily. So gorgeous had the
dreary plain been made that it has become
known in history as the Field of the
Cloth of Gold"

MYSTERIES OF SPACE.
The Vast UnexpIored Regions of the
Upper Air.

Above US there extends a vast uncx-
plored space far more interesting from a
scientific point of view than the icy regions
around the north pole. No one can reach
the limit Of the upper regions of tho air
and live unless he carries with him air 60
breathe and fuel 10 warm him, for at the
paltry distance of ten miles above the
earth the air is too thin to support rcspir-
alton and the thermometer would register
far below zero. il would be "A region OF
perpetual snow on peak of the earth if il
should rise TO such "a height. A person i'm
n balloon could not hear n friend in a
no,ghboring balloon even IL they were near
enough TO shake hands. There would be-
no medium for the propagation of sound
waves. There would, however, still be "a
medium for the conduction Of electricity
"a medium, in fact, Of great conductibility
almost rs good as IA metal, and IL Is this
medium at even "a less height which Tesla
proposes to u6e i'm his methods of trans
mitting power hundreds of miles through
the air without wires.
We live under n blanket of air which
protects us from the extreme cold of outer
space. This low temperature becomes evil
dent II, 200 or 10, 900 feet above the surface
OF the earth, and would as / have said,
reach point far below zero at height of
ten miles. AT this height we should no
longer observe the twinkling Of the stars,
for this scintillation is due TO the move
ments of our atmosphere, which at tho
height i have mentioned would be ex-
tremcly rarefied. If one could photograph
the suns spectrum at this altitude we
could greatly extend our knowledge of the
shortest wave lengths of light, for the at
mosphere completely absorbs such wave
lengths as arc concerned in the X ray
phenomena. That this absorption really
takes place can be proved in "a laboratory.
The heat and light which we receive
from the sun are thus greatly modified by
this blanketing layer of air The long
waves of the energy from the sun are called
heat waves The intermediate waves are
termed light waves, and we receive these
in full measure. The very short waves,
however are stopped by our atmosphere
and are transformed observation-disclosures

upon large body OF the enemy in the
jungle near Camp Dewey. The rebels
were attacked, and fell back upon the
main body OF the insurgents. The
Fourteenth infantry, the North Dakota
volunteers and the Fourth cavalry then
engaged the enemy and drove them to-
ward the beach. where ono OF the gun
boats received them with a fusillade
from automatic Colt guns. The enemy's
loss was severe. and they scattered along
the beach, seeking cover from the fire OF
the Americans.
Three privates and two troopers were

Consumption Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE

bHoOShl Dam ENO-A I'M sA>fAN'@.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, OF 325 w. Perl ST., Indianapo-
lis. Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted TO a skeleton;
his lungs mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept i'll constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than ut any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost miracle.

SEVENTEEN KILLED.
Awful Result of a Fire In South Da-
kota Insane Asylum

=
Yankton. :. D., Feb. 13.-One Of IN,
most horrifyng fires in the history OF
Yankton occurred yesterday morning a
the state insane asylum. when one OF
the cottages took hre in the basement
completely running the building and
causing the loss of the lives OF II in
mates there.
Tie cottage was of stone and granite
walls, with wooden interior. and was in
tended for laundry purposes. but, owing
10 the crowded condition of the build
ing, 40 of the female patients were
placed there, and the laundry was oper-
ated in the basement. The exact cause
Of the fire is not known. except that IL
originated in the dry room Of the laun-
dry.
The lack OF water greatly hindered the
work of the fircmen. The board cot
tage stands some 300 feet in the rear
OF the main building, the water tank for
fire protection being 100 feet in the rear
Of the cottage. The steam pipes used
for pumping ran from the boiler room
of the main building through the cot
tage for heating and then TO the artesian
well or tank. The intense heat in the
burning building caused the pipes to
burst SHORTY after the fire began leav-
ing the fire nose without power, except
direct pressure from the tank which was
I'm no way sufficient to quCnch the flames.
Two streams OF water were thrown on
the building. but did little good.
With the thermometer standing at 2S
below zero the inmates who could es-
cape came down the narrow flight of
stairs in thrir night clothing and bare
feet into thC bitter cold and, had it not
been for I'll rtlTress of shelter, the
suffering AZ able loss OF life from
freezing. wo1l have been more terrible.
The buildi was three stories high,
with an attic and TWO entrances. There
was one stairway fsom the second and
third floors - .ch led into the main
hall to these entrances. thus giving but
cne egress for those on the second and
third floors and attic.
Fifty-two persons were I'm the burning
building, 40 patients and IL female at
tendants. The attendants escaped, as
did the Others who were saved, with
none of their trsonal effects, many los
ing all that they possessed.
In 1882 the asylum. then frame build
inS. was destroyed by fire, and several
lives were lest.
