Now that President Mckinley has

1T thus appears that Mohammedism

jewel Cur. rn.,m.n..

Treatments, methods and systems
by which cures a be effected fade,
from the point of costliness, before
the new jewel cure treatment Of Nine
lionouix, who has been known in
Paris as a healer for some time past
This lady is said to be wonderfully
successful in the treatment Of illness
mud nervous diseases. Her method
OF cure is rather an expensive one. rs
the only medicine che employs is
precious stones.
In some cases the treatment con-
sists III simply applying the jewel to
the affected parts. Sometimes it is
necessary to burn the stone and in
hale the fumes, and sometimes the
powdered stone has to be swallowed.
One treatment alone costs from $50
to 5000, according to the ailments
ana the gems used. Many treatments
are often necessary, and the stones
used must he without flaws, other.

says, is considered impaired. Nine.

seen, the clientele Of this iewel-cure
woman must be composed almost en-
tirely OF the wealthy class, rs the de.
struction OF precious stones canuot
but be exceedingly expensive. Nine.
Honouix claims to be the inventor OF
this cure, and has entered deeply
into the study Of gems, and has many
curious ideas in regard to their power.
She says that ~chalcedony worn about

WHAT .foRs

The reports from the Philippines
show n deplorable condition OF at.
fairs there. Nearly whole companies
are reported on the sick list and but
the skeleton OF I'M army is left to up
hold the honor OF the flag. The dis
eases peculiar to the tropics are eat
ing the life out OF soldiers who en-
listed to wage u wal OF humanity
against Spanish oppression and
cruelty in Cuba. And what for!
Not to give the people Of those far
away islands the blessings OF liberty,
but to force them to an unwilling
submission to the sovereignty Of the
United States. To accomplish this
purpose, men and materials OF war
ure being rushed across seven thous.
and miles Of ocean Mt an enormous
expense to the people. Nor is this
all; the men who are there upholding
the honor OF the Government are
wasting away to mere skeletons. II
they escape death, their constitu.
tons will be SO weakened that they
will become burdens to themselves
and their friends.
No amount OF palaver about @be-
nevolent assimilation" and the christ.
ianizing influence Of American civil
lization will wipe out the foul trag-
edy now being enacted in the Phil.
ippInes. Men may pirate about the
blessings the Filipinos will receive by
submitting to the authority Of the
United States and becoming her
subjects, but all their pratings can
not efface the fact that they are strug-
Cling for liberty The same IS our
forefathers we're, when opposing the
tyrannical acts Of the British
Parliament. And it is for the
suppression OF the spirit OF
liberty in the Filipino that the young
NEE OF our country are being sacri-
feed today. 4 nation that boasts OF the
freedom OF ITS citizens is binding the
ehackles upon ten millions of people
yearning to BIO free. What a contrast
to the struggle OF the colonists! IT
Ii to this that the Government, estab-
Eshed by IL foreiathers and sanctifl.
ed by their blood, has come through
the inordinate ambition aud greed OF
its rulers.
