which men have practically to do. While
heaven and hell could act as compensating
balances the inequalities of mems lives could
be regarded with something approaching
equanimity; it would all be made right in
another world But now this thought fails
in efficacy, and as a consequence We are
socialists now.
What further effect the dying Of death
may have upon the tone of civilization
would be hazardous to predict. Generally
speaking the loss of belief in personal i'm
mortality may influence the character in
two opposite directions. Either there will
be clutching after the goods of this world
for oneself and the feverish activity of en-
ioyment of them; or. with the higher and
better mind, there will be increased social
activity and a striving to make things bet
ter all round. There are signs of both ten
denotes in contemporary life. The spread Of
the decadent spirit marks one form Of the
tendency. The wide interest in social
schemes and regeneration may be regarded
as a move In the other direction. How far
either Of these Is consciously based upon
what / call the dying death. or may be
traced to other influences, is a question not
easy Of decision.

Colonel Jouaust, president of the court,
asked Dreyfus If he had anything to add in
his behalf. The prisoner rose, and in a
voice choked with emotion declared he had
only one thing to say, but of that he was
perfectly assured. He said: II affirm before
my country and before the army that / am

as, I'm accordance with the law, the verdict
was rendered in his absence.

SAMOA WAITING.

The situation in Samoa as
shown by news by the Mosns is
practically the same IS outlined
by previous dispatches. Matasfa
has succeeded iD establishing a
provisional government in opposi
tion to the decision Of the Chief
Justice Chambers; this govern
ment has been recognized by
British and American CoDsuls;
Malietoa and Tsmasese are on
board the British wsrship, their
followers have been exiled, and
there the whole matter rests await
ing a decision from the three
treaty powers. On the face of it
thi, affair looks like German ag-
gression, but the ready acceptance
by, British and American repre-
s,ntatives of the Mataafa govern
ment gives color to the POSSIBILITY
that there is an understanding in
diplomatic circles which will come
to the surface when the official re-
ports of the course of events are
mad
Press comment on the news
dispatches do not indicate danger
of serious clash among the powers
over the affair and Em bassador
White reiterates his statements of
continued German friendship for
the Anglo Saxon combination.
The trouble in Samoa is not with
out some pretty close parallels in
Hawaiian history, although the
tripartite government offers more
complications.

as to the identity of the vessel

she left the former place, she had
aboard Captain McAllet, his wife,

THE PHILIPPINES.

The most significant feature of
the dispatches reIbtlug to the
philippines is the news that
American Embassador White has
informal y announced to Germany
that the recognition of the Phil.
'ippine republic will be regarded
by the United States a. an I'm
friendly act, aud something of q
lsimilsr tenor conveyed to Spain.
n his indicates that the game in
the higher diplomatic circles is
reaching a critical stage and
American interests are being
jeopardized by lack of action re-
sulting from the delay in the rati
fication Of the peace treaty.
The announcement of an early
date for voting upon the treaty il
indicative that the administration
considers the chances good for
ratification, or if complications
arise from failure to ratify the re
sponsibility for the results will
rest with the Opponents of ex

81 have just come from Samoa
and can assure you that quiet
reigns in Apia, where the fight be-
tween the followers of Mataafa
and Malietoa Tanua took place.
There has been established a pro-
visional government with Mataafa
at the head, and the representa-.
tives of the Three Powers that
have control 10 Samoa are await
ing a Joint decision.
"Ma,aafa is really not the king
of Samoa but is simply waiting
for some decisive action on the
part of the Powers.
"You have course heard of the
trouble. The Chief Justice, an
American, declared Malietoa Ia
nus king when, by election, Mats-
afa had real y been chosen by a
majority of 1000.
"The Mataafa people did not
like this and, on December 81,
1898. decided to turn out Malie.
toa Tanua aud the vice. king Ia
masese. They held a council Of
war and then, under the leader
ship of various chiefs, different
bands of Mateafa's men gathered
in the mountains about Apia and
completely surrounded the town.
"The Malietoa men were in the
town and knew that Mataafa was
about to attack them. Malletoa
had, in all, about thousand men,
while Mataafa had about five
times that number.
"On the afternoon of January l,
1899, the signal was given and the
natives, pouring out of the noun.
tains. swept down on the city and
attacked Malietoa's inadequate
force. The struggle was bloody
one, both sides showing great
bravery. 1t was soon over, how
ever. A hundred and, fifty men
from Malietoa's side went over to
the enemy. Malietos, seeing no
chance, fed with his eight
hundred followers to the
English man of-war Porpoise.
Tha next day, the followers Of
Malietoa we're sent ashore without
arms and told to consider them
selves prisoners of Matsafa. This
they did, and it was not long be-
fore they were all vanished to
Savaii, Tutuila, Manono, Apolima
and other small islands. M allie.
'oa Tanua and Tsmasese remain
ed aboard the Porpoise and were
there when the Moaua sailed.
"The total annihitation of Ma
iietos's forces was barely sverted.
Had they come ashore under arms
there would not have been one
man left to tell the tale. What
stirred the blood of the. Matsafa
men was the fact that Muliana, a
chief acting as policeman for
Malietoa, shot and killed Saitu-
mua, a very high chief from Sa
vail on Mataafa's side. The two
met in the street and Muliana,
approaching Saitumua, turned bis
rifle upon him and shot him
through stomach.
"As l say. matters are at a
staudstill aud the decision of the
powers is all that is being await
ed"

Walk along the streets of Paris. and
you will see 100 simple citizens tricked
out in such a guise as in sober London
would make them ridiculous.
Is man a poet? Then his hair is in
stantly long, his clothes are shabby and
fantastic. his hat, with its fiat brim,
recalls the fashion of 1880. Is a man a
painter? Then his clothes proclaim
that he inhabits Montmartre and that
he wanders up and down under the
skinny trees of the Boulevard Roche
chouart. Is man journalist? Then
he is what is called epatant and dimes
for reduced price at the Cafe Anglais.
Is a man q deputy? Then the mag
ination refrains from a formula; he has
a brougham. and he is decorated. but
beyond this the eye of dogmatism can
not penetrate.
Yet. whoever he be, he dresses the
part; he separates himself from the
bourgeoisie by a trick of costume and
gesture. and though no man ever pos
sessed so brilliant q genius as the
young Frenchman assumes his love of

his antics that man who would be

Keep the soil between the rows loose
and free from weeds by use of the
horse hoe or the corn pillow. Imme-
diately around the plants the hand hoe
should occasionally be used to keep the
ground loose and porous. a handful or
more of superphospbate of lime hoed
in around each plant when about one
third grown or a little earlier will have
a strikingly beneficial effect ON the
thriftiness of the plants.
This keeping Of the plants in healthy
condition by heavy manuring and good
tiIlage is mentioned in w Atlee Bur
PEGS little manual on growing cabbage
as the best remedy against cabbage
lice, which during long dry spells in
many seasons cause great damage to

the cabbage has also a good effect for
keeping off destructive yermin. and SO
have ashes thrown upon the cabbages.
A large grain of salt dropped in the
center of the leaves when the plants

ing in plants that seem indisposed to
form heads. 1t might be worth trying.
