ley made this morning when ex-senator
Faulkner, one of his callers referred to the
fact that the President appeared to be in
unusually good humor. The President,
when Mr.. Faulkner remarked that man
ought to be able to get almost anything he
wanted from the chief executive today.
said that he did feel in good spirits, and
appreciated the good opinions of the Amer
can voter. He followed this by the re-
mark quoted.
10 some of his other callers during the
day the President expressed similar senti-
mentS, several times referring in strong
language to the gratitude he felt at the
general evidence of approval of his admin
istratiOn.

Effort to Corner AguinaIdo.


Since the beginning of the hostiities it
has been the opinion OF all military experts
at Manila that Dagupan should be made a
base Of operations, hut sufficient troops
have heretofore been lacking. With Gems.
Wheaton. Macarthur and Lawton moving
upon Tarlac from three directions, and the
mountains hemming in the other side, The
insurgents capital Will soon become un-
tenabie.
1t is said that Aguinaldo may attempt TO
shift his headquarters to the rich tobacco
country at the northern end of the island
Possibly he may slide around Gen. Law
tens frcEt to the southern provinces. but
as MacArthur's and LaWton's troops are
spread across the country from Angeles to
Cabanatuan, il will b. difficult for the in
SurgentS to escape.
Should the concerted operations succeed
organized insurrection on a large scale
should be at an end early next spring al
though guerrilla warfare is likely TO con-
tlnue for long time. No one anticipates
that the insurgents will make many hard
battles. The problem is TO move the troops
about the country, TO maintain transporta-
tion and to hold the territory gained.
The moral effect of the arrival of a large
American army is calculated to sap Aguin-
aldo's strength by desertions and through
the loss Of hope among the supporters OF
the revolutionary movement.
To Arrange Regular Service.
Col. Charles Bird of the quartermaster's
department, who has been in charge of the
water transportation of the army. has ar
ranged to visit Manila for the purpose Of
perfecting arrangements for a regular

to leave New York on the 10th instant,
going TO Manila, by way of the Suez canal,
and returning to the United States by the

take about four months TO make the trip.

Parts of the Physical System Which Never
Wear Out.
In his work on the senile heart DR..
Balfour tells us that there are two parts
of the human organism which, if wisely
used, largely escape senile failure"
These two, says the Medical Record,
are the brain and the heart. Persons
who think have often wondered why
brain workers, great statesmen and
others, should continue to work with
almost unimpaired mental activity and
energy up to a period when most of the
organs and functions of the body are in
a condition of advanced senile decay.
There is a physiological reason for this,
and DR.. Balfour tells us what it is. The
normal brain, he atiirms, remains vigor-
GUS to the last" and that because it's
nutrition is especially provided for."
About middle life, or little later, the
general arteries of the body begin to
lose their elasticity and to slowly but
surely dilate. They become, therefore,
much less efficient carriers of the nu-
timent blood to the capillary areas.
But this is not the case with the in
ternal carotids, which supply the cap
Hilary areas of the brain. On the con-.
trary, these large vessels, continue to
retain their pristine elasticity, so that
the blood pressure remains normally
higher than within the capillary area
IF any other organ in the body. The
cerebral blood paths being thus kept
open, the brain tissue is kept better
nourished than the other tissues of the
bO6v:,

COTTON MILLS IN JAPAN:
Tho Industry Has Grown Rapidly In. tn
iIikaln'4 Realm.

fIikadOs Jtealm.
Cotton manufacturing in Japan is the
growth of the last fifteen years. Nota
cotton mill, with one exception, of
those now in operation was in opera
ton prior to 1850, says the Industrial
Record. There is now running in
Kagoshima mill Of 5000 spindlcs that
has been in operation since 1865. In,
1880 and 1881 an era Of cotton manufac-
turing was inau,, grated by the erection
of 1900 to $4,000 spindle mills. In 1882
G1,200-spindlc mill was put up at
Osaka. The mill is the largest ever
erected in Japan. There arc two 10000
spindlcs, one at Toxic and the other at
Osaka. The latter location is the prin-
cipal manufacturing cc..ter in the en-
pirc. Nearly, if not fully, one-half Of
the cotton spindlcs are to be found
there. The cotton mills at Osaka are
reported as paying average annual div.
idouds of 1sper cent, the highest having
becns2S per cent. and the lowest 8 per
cent. Not more than about ten years
ago the people depended almost wholly
upon foreign products of factory-made
cotton fabrics, while now not over n
fourth of this demand comes from for
eign sources. The Cottont Spinners'
association of Japan is the most reliable
source of information, and that placed
the number of spindles in 1894 at $50. 1868,
yet the Yokohama chamber of COM
merce placed the number in 1893 at
about 100000. Between these two au-
thorities we put our estimate of 100000
spindles. The cotton mills of Japan
will never be able to spin from the ma
tive cotton very fine yarn. The cotton
is not suitable for anything but for the
spinning of coarse yarns.

CHARACTER OF ISABELLA.
Tho Beautiful Con.ort OF Ferdinand Who
HelDetl Columbus.


Helped Columbus.
Isabella was a lady, she was queen,
and, above all she was an autocrat
Gracious and gentle in her manner,
says r. Ulic1 Burke's "A History of
Spain," she brooked no opposition from
prince or peer, and she soon made it
known and felt throughout Spain that,
although she was the daughter of John
II. and the sister Of Henry ~, her
virtuous, discreet, with that highest ex-
preston Of proud dignity that is seen in
peculiar simplicity Of manner, with
hard heart and a fair coutcnancc, an
inflexiblc will, and mild manner
something of Journalist, more Of q
bigot-Isabella united much that was
characteristic Of old Castillo with not q
little that was characteristic of new
Spain. And if her boldness was in
herited from the Cid, her bigotry was
bequeathed to Philip IL.
No man can read the history of the
times without being struck by the enor-
nous personal influence of Isabella.
An accomplished horscwolnan, a tircless
traveller, indcfatigable in her attention
to business of state. the queen with her
court moved about from place to place,
swift to punish crime and to encourage
virtue, boldly composing the differences
aud compelling the submission of rival
mobiles, frowning upon the laxity of the
clergy, dcnouncing the hcrcsy of the
people and laying a heavy hand upon
enemies of every degree and cvildoers Of
every class. In Andalusia the unaccus-
toned md unexpected presence of the
sovereign was everywhere productive
ofpcacc and order. Even in the rcmotest
districts of Galicia the royal power was
felt. Over fifty fortresses, the strong
hold of ]snight]y robbers, were razed to
the ground, and one Thousand five hun
dred noble highwaymen were forced to
fly the kingdom.

Tho Startling Experience Of Montana
Man. Who Still Survives tho Shock.
Charles b. Hoffman, of Butte, Mont,
was standing at the mouth of mine
not long ago when he was struck by
lightning. The thunderbolt, he thinks,
first struck the straw hat he was wear
ing, and it tore hole in the hat that
cut part of the rim. Then it tore his
clothing into shreds and left him,
naked. Both his ovcralls and the shirt
he was wearing presented the appear.
ance of having passed through sau-.
sage mill. Nobody can tell him why
he was not killed by the lightning.
The bolt, he says, after passing through
his hat, struck him on the shoulder and
ran the full length Of his body, burn
ing the skin to q crisp on the side and
legs. It also cut his left foot on the
side and bottom, breaking the bones of
the foot.

When he regainea his senses Hoffman

places the lightning had cut the cloth
as neatly as if it had been done with
razor. Some of the cuts were long and
straight. The LIGHTNING took his

Was not this the retort courteous? It
was the custom in Scotch parishes for
the minister to bow to the laird's pew
before beginning his discourse. On one
occasion the pew contained a bevy Of
ladies', and the minister, feeling deli,
cacy in the circumstances, omitted the
usual salaam. When they next met
the laird's daughter a Miss Miller,
widely famed for her beauty and
afterward countess of Mar = rallied
the minister for not bowling to her from
the pulpit. "Your ladyship forgets,'
replied the minister, ''that the worship
of angels is not allowed by the Scotch
church."
