The Iowa Republican platform has the
right ring; "There shall be no division
among us until all in arms against the
flag shall confess its supreme rights and
honor, and shall know that, even in the
farthest east, it is sign and promise of
equal law, of justice,a and liberty through
out the land, and to all the inhabitants
thereof" And every patriot will en-
dorso this sentiment.

EX-SENATOR w. H. Hyde of Rid Iway,
who represented this district in the State
Senate, sessions of '95 and '97, died at his

Mr.. Hyde was one of the fore most citi-

How very true and perfectly pat are
these words from the Punxsutawney
Spirit: 1t would be laughable, were it
not for the deviltry they do, to read what
some of the country editors have to say
about Algerism, Otssm, Imperilism and
the Philippine question. Their clatter-
bag is generally stuffed with the terms
and phraseology of some disgruntled city
exchange which, at first hand, is the pro-
duct of a distempered croaker, but when
remasticated by one of these ild-eyed
vilifiers, who has not even courage
enough TO ask subscriber for a years
back dues on his paper, and who knows
no more about the mistakes of the Secre-
tary of War, the Philippine situation or
Imperialism, than native Patagonian
knows about the Concert of the Powers
or the Dismemberment of the Flowerv
Kingdom, their dolorous cant is as mean
ingiess as the ribaidry OF flock of crows.
Fortunately such publications are without
much lasting influence, for before the
evil they commit takes effect on anybody
but the writer's, they run out of breath
and COPY.

SOLDIERS AS SURGEONS,
Instruction in Aid to the wounded Bore
Fruit In the War.

Moved. probably, by a natural de
sire to secure deserved credit for a
bureau of the war department that
was recently the object of much ana
severe criticism. the Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal calls attention to
benefits which accrued to our soldiers
IN the course of the war with Spain
from the instruction in first aid" and
antisepsis which they had received
several years ago, at the suggestion OF
the surgeon general, the department
ordered that simple lessons in the
application OF bandages and the tenn
porary treatment of fractures, and en-
phasi.ing the Importance of cleanli-
ness, should be given to each enlisted
man once a week. The plan was cold
ly viewed by many line officers, but
all doubts of its utility were removed
at Santiago. for there, owing to the
scarcity of both surgeons and medical
supplies, scores and scores of wounded
soldiers would have been in bad way
indeed had it not been for dressings
from the first aid packets" applied
by themselves or by their comrades.
This work was often so well done that
subsequent examination by the sur
geon disclosed no necessity for further
treatment. The frequent recoveriss Of
this sort were, of course in no small
measure due to the relatively humane
character of the wounds made by
Mauser bullets, but the skill and
knowledge of the men themselves
formed the important factor in estab-
fishing the remarkable surgical record
OF tho war. The total number of
bullet and shell wounds received in
action and by accident was 1851, but
the major operations that had to be
performed numbered only 54 Of which
only "a were amputations. These fig
ures mean, says the Medical and
Surgical Journal. that of the total
number of soldiers not killed outright,
only "a per cent We're later subjected
to the serious or mutilating operation
up to this time considered as impera-
lively demanded by military surgery
and the fact that the records show
that secondary operation was rarely
needed is proof of the wisdom of the
conservative attitude assumed by army
surgeons.

r,. Ro,nd Towers of Ireland.

Hundreds OF years ago, as far back
as the sixth and not later than the
twelfth century. 1t was the custom in
Ireland and other Christian countries
to build tall narrow towers close to
many of the churches. 1t is not known
for certain why they were erected but
it is supposed that. besides being used
for religious purposes, they AFFORDED
shelter for priests and people in times
of danger. After bells had been intro
duced they were sometimes hung in
these towers. The round towers were
mostly from eighty to q hundred feet
high, and usually crowned with a
peaked roof. They were lighted By
small windows, and the ascent from
story to story was made by means
of ladders. AS a matter of safety, the
door was placed at considerable dis
tancs from the ground. Above hun
dred of theee towers, more or less per-
feet, are still to be found In various
parts Of ireland.

BIBLES FOR FILIPINoS.
Into Four Languages for
usa of the NatIXes.

Translated Into Four Languages for
Use of the Natives.
Recent events have stirred the Brit
ish and Foreign Bible Society to some
prompt feats OF translation, and por-
tions of the new testament in no less
than four tongues are In preparation
for the Philippines. The first three
gospels and the acts in Tagalog, the
language of the dominant native race
there, are actually printed; st. Luke's
gospel in Ilocono is nearly finished,
and the same book in Bicol is ready
for issue. These renderings, 1t ap-
pears, are largely due to the energy OF
the society's agent in Madrid, Rev. r.
O Walker. who secured the collabora-
ton of some exiled Filipinos. Almost
the whole testament has been trans
lated into Pangasinan. Another nota-
BILE undertaking is the printing OF st.
Johns gospel in Lusoga, for use In
those districts east of the Nile. This
version has been made by Rev. f.
Rowling Of the Church Missionary So
ciety, and is regarded for many philo-
logical reasons as an interesting addi-
tion to the 400 or so of languages and
dialects in which the sacred books are
circulated from Queen Victoria street.

Thursday in the happy marriage of
Mr.. Windernitz. The young woman
who is now the bride of Mr.. Winder-

whom he became acquainted at that
time. After he had looked up the
bearer of the name which had at
tracted his attention on the hotel reg
lister the two tried unsuccessfully to
find some relationship. They did.
however, find an affinity. and were
soon good friends and later lovers. For
the last nine months the couple have
been engaged.
When in Brooklyn on his last trip
Mr.. Windernitz thought that 1t would

USE BOTH HANDS.
Some Reasons Why Children should lie
So Taught.

So Taught.
Left-handed facility among children
is receiving much attention from the
school authorities in Germany. with
view to developing both hands and
both arms equally. They argue that
the right hand has been so solely de
veloped that many efforts that might
easily be delegated to the left hand
are undertaken by the right. The
smallest objects, as rule, are picked
up by the right hand. Such one
SIDED movements. repeated constant
ly, have their influence on the entire
system, and are not conducive to the
symmetry Of the body. The habit of
people to carry children on the left
arm, so as to have the right hand free,
TENDS to make the left shoulder high
er than the right. In such cases the
cure must date from childhood. In
the boys mechanical departments N
the German schools much of the work
is done by the left hand under com
pulsion. The boys are taught to saw,
plane and hammer with the left hand
as well as with the right. In all
trades and professioss involving heavy
hand work. the Importance of being
impressed upon the students. The
preference given to the right arm has
been explained physiologically by the
construction of the veins and nerves
that enter the arms those of the right
arm being the more prominent The
reverse is the case in the few that are
naturally left-handed. Exercises that
require the effort of the entire arm are
urged by the German educational Of
ficials. Large circles are drawn by
the scholars on the blackboards, first
with one hand and then with the
other, without bracing the hand, so
that the entire arm is in action. The
superiority of Japanese drawing may
be traced to the custom of that land
to make the children practice paint
ing and drawing without the use Of
any stick or supporting device for the
hand. They are taught to draw at
the same time that they are taught
to write the letters OF their alphabe
and they are taught to use both hands
equally in the task.-London Chron-
