Observing that the Filipinos appear
to prefer determination to subjugation
the Baltimore Sun makes the follow.
ing calculation of the cost in time and
in lives, to say nothing of money:
Assuming that the Filipinos nun
Der 100000, all told, and that our
forces can kill at least 200 a day, it
would be 10000 days, or nearly Tic
years, before the native population
was wiped out. Our own losses III the
meantime would not be Insignificant.
1.-THE daily average were 20men, includ.
ing those who were killed in the guer-
rilla warfare or died from wounds or
disease, we would at the end of ITO
years, sacrifice the lives of 100000
American soldiers before the Flip mos
had been eXterminated.
This is Interesting, although with
out practical value, for it is quite likely
that the Filipinos and Americans
would both get tired of the exterminat-
ing process in a very few years.
Why not get tired of it at once?
1t half the rumors now in circula
ton are verified there may be parties

mated by the mocrats.-Bluefeld
Telegraph.
Now, why not be truthful. and tell
the facts as they exist. The reports of
new parties come mainly from those
who belong to no party and have not
the grit to acknowledge they are Re-
publicans. The silver ADVOCATES have
no reason to advocate a new party,
because the greatest party in the world
stands for the principles of the silver
men. Mr. Bryan himself has said that
he will make no fight for re nomina
ton and it is we'll understood among
his friends that in case the Democratic
convention names some good Democrat
Mr.. Bryan will take the stump in his
behalf. The Telegraph must have it's
mind in muddie. If it wants any in
formation about new parties it should

"John Harmon died here from the

Of the wild turkey, deer and rattlesnaEe,
John Harmon started to Charlestown
to attend court. He WIS armed with an

Then he began to prepare for death. 1t
was he who carved the words in lighter
lines Oh the tree, with the request be-
meath, long since obliterated by the
trees growth, to bury him OIL the spot.
a few days later Harmons body was
found. A grave was dug by the tree and
there it can be seen today. "-Louisville

Irving had dog he called Midsummer
Nights Dream. He thought it was q
bull terrier and made q present Of it to
G. w. Childs. The animal was exhibit.
ed in Philadelphia exhibition, where
it attracted considerable attention. This
reused the ire of the other exhibitors,
and they declared that Midsummer
Nights Dream was not a bull terrier,
but half bred bulldog. One of them
wrote Oh a piece of paper, which was
attached to the dogs kennel, "Henry
Irving may know a great deal about
Shakespeare, but he knows nothing
about bull terriers"

COLOR BLIND PAINTERS.
A London Oculist Asserts That There
Arc Such Artists.

To speak of color blind artist sounds
like joking, said noted oculist; but,
strange as it seems, there are several
persons so affected WHO can nevertheless
paint extremely well. Numbers Of color
blind people there are, of course who
draw perfectly in pencil, ink aud cray
ons, but myself know scene painter
attached to a provincial theater who,
though "color blind" paints all its
scenery, and has quite local name,
nos only for his interiors" and oak
chambers, but even for landscapes.
can tell you also of two London la
dies who consulted me for color blind
ness who paint really beautiful pictures.
One is the daughter of late famous
artist and was taught painting ~ Le-
father. She is quite unab BILE to distin-
guish red from green, but her colors are
all labeled with the names, and she
has been taught which to use for GER
tain effects. Possibly her painting may
seem to her eyes, as it were, drawing
with a brush and shading" with the
colors.
The other is a lady artist of some
celebrity, who has for years exhibited
annually in London. The public is not
aware that she is color blind. She
painted the Wedding Group" for q
certain noble bridegroom year or two
ago and also several public men g por-
traits and one of an eminent physician
fetched 500 guineas.
There is a gentleman residing at
Kensington who, having years ago left
the navy through finding his advance
ment hopelessly barred by his color
blindness, is at present making several
hundreds a year by his brush as an
artist, designing most artistic and
brightly colored picture posters for ad-
vertisement hoardings. - London An

Here we have proud, imperial city,

Berlin as parvenu, on London as merely
commercial, on Paris as half crazy. Ex.

is not home Of art and culture, but it
is center Of dignity and grace and q
certain calm air Of superiority, which,
however, does not offend. 1t is content
to look on while other places explore
and write and toll and push and strain;
it stands on its rank; lit can never forget
its l6 quarterings and its claims to
high estate.

One mothers desire to have her daughter learn homework led her to dismiss her servants and herself share the work, that her object might De accomplished under her own care ful supervision. Nor was this done in a spirit of martyrdom, but one ot wholesale joyousness, remembered by both years after with the greatest pleasure. One cannot teach the dig aity of labor who does not feel it and it is only to those who look upon it as degradation that it becomes such. When in the course of human events the maids places become vacant. as is apt to happen in the best regulated families, the members thereof usually sit about bemoaning the disjointed condition of the universe. In one fam fly I know of, when such occasion comes, each member takes part; even the boys attack the ever-to- washed dishes and the paterfamilias does not lose caste in the community by lend 1ng hand when at home in either the cause of cleanliness or cooking He can sweep and dust a room as deftly as any maid, cook meal and even make bread rather better than the most of them, all without making muss or losing his temper Temper? Why, it is at it's sunniest on such oc- casions-the entire family really rather enjoy the frolics they make of them. Their motto seems to be "Helpfulness versus helpleesness.'

Magnetic Disturbances in Russla

The Russian province of Kursk proves to be one of the most remarka> ble areas of magnetic disturbances yet known. Mir. Moureaux reports that the differences between theory and obser- sation are so great that it is not pos sible to draw isomagnetic lines, and the magnetic force is as great as it would be in the immediate vicinity of the magnetic poles. The dip of the needle ranges from 48 to 79 degrees. Al two points, about 450 yards apart. the declinations are minus Il degrees and plus 45 degrees. and the variation at two places about mile and a quar- ter apart is from minus 34 degrees to plus 96 degrees. Nothing near the sur face to cause these anomalies is known to exist.
