Claim Thst There Is a Close Conneotisn
Between Them.
Recently l heard d discussion be-
tween some friends as to the advisa-
bility of dressing for dinner, even In
ones home circle. and when the viands
were neither expensive nor particularly
well served" remarked u clerk. "One
of the speakers designated a man who
dressed to eat an evening meal of
hash, or cold meat, and cheese, washed
down with beer, with his wife and
two children alone joining him in par
taking of these excellent but not cost
ly forms Of nourishment, as a silly
swaggerer. trying to ape folk who
could afford to dine in style worthy
Of evening attire
But another rejoined-and came
round to his opinion-that clothes were
as important as the menu, and that a
dinner of herbs would be more enjoy
able when the consumer was revelling
In the comfort and luxury and self
satisfaction of a spotless expanse Of
shirt front and the GOODNESS and elas-
ITCHY of well-made dress clothes, than
rather elaborate dinner Of say, soup,
fish, entree, joint, ETC., when eaten in
the garb of ones working hours. OF
course there is certain amount Of
exaggeration in this latter description
of the effect of clothes on the wearer,
but believe that the principal under
lying it is right. For man respects
himself more when he is conscious that
others respect him, and others respect
the dapper, neat man far more than
the untidy sloven, and the antithesis
Of the sloven being the man who al
ways dresses for the last and leisure
meal of the day, 1t is fair to reason
that the orthodoxy clad diner will be
more pleased with himself than he
would be had he sat down Just as he
was.' Nothing, also, shows moral de-
generation and Generalization so sure
ly as dirty linen, unbrushed clothes
and hat, and general slackness In
dress; and although there are eccen-
trio geniuses who are, and can afford to
be, regardless of dress, 1t is, on the
other hand, very rare to see drunk
ard, a loafer. or a really idle man ha-
bftually spruce and smart in his per-
| sonal attire. But put loafer into a
smart uniform, and insist Gas is done
q. some homes for inebriates) that the
alcoholically inclined individual should
always be scrupulously well groomed,
and one step, and that long one, has
been taken towards their regeneration.
Foppishness and dandyism are. OF
course. the swing Of the pendulum in
the other direction, and they denote
a weak mind, which regards clothes as
| an end rather than the means to an
end. But I do not think that this
affects my argument that clothes have
q moral effect upon their. wearer, but
rather the reverse, for it stands to rea-
son that if~to possess too little of a
given instinct, and also too much OF It,
are both bad for one. there must be
something in this instinct which is a
power for coed or evil.

Wal1ace's Idea Of Brevity.

A story is told by David Christie Muir
ray of the late Robert Wallace, NJ p.
The member from Perth was a Queens S
counsel, an able theologian and a man
Of unfailing courtesy. Two years ago
the editor of small country paper,
who was a Stanch constituent of Wal
lace, wrote him asking him to con-
tribute a brief article on a light theo-
logical topic. The latter promised by
return mail to do so, and at the end Of
a fortnight sent a manuscript, which
when put in big type made nearly fifty
columns.
The editor was at his wits end. He
could not print more than column
and half at a time, and he did not
dare to offend the kind commoner by
cutting or abridging the copy. He cor
suited with the head printer, and as a
result Of their deliberations began to
print it piecemeal. By degrees they
fell into the system of using one time q
piece from the beginning and the next
time a piece from the end. Finally they
employed it as a filler and when
ever copy was desired the standing or
der became:
"Eh, mon, just sneak off bit Of Wal
lace to fill the hiatus

The Philippine Problem.

Some people are still discussing the
theoretic expediency Of expansion. This
has not been an open question since last
winter. The act and fact of expansion
was complete when the treaty of peace
was ratified. You might indeed, as
an academic matter. discuss the de-
STABILITY of contraction. But tower
ing over and overshadowing all mere
ly speculative issues is the mighty Il
had almost said the awfuD fact of
our actual sovereignty over and re-
sponsibility for the Philippine Islands.
You can escape the consequences of
some deeds by undoing them. But
treaties cannot be made and unn1ade at
will, nor International obligations laid
down because they are burdensome. 1t
does not matter what were your views
on the previous question of annexa-
ton; the only question to-day open to
you is this: The United States having
taken the Philippine Islands from
Spain, what shall be done with them?-

How to Suppress the Mosquito.

Orders issued by the Government of
India to civil surgeons with entomo-
logical proclivities require them ito
take collections of mosquitoes and 9TH
er flies that bite men or animals, in
accordance with the instructions con-
tanned in Professor Ray Lanketers S
pamphlet" with a view Of determining
the possible connection of malaria and
mosquitoes. For the general destruc-
ton of mosquitoes several methods
have been tried. In many places the
engineer has been successful by drain
ing the marshy areas. In others the
use of kerosene, by throwing it into
the water, where it forms film on the
surface. has prevented the developing
larvae from reaching the air, and has
thus brought about their destruction A
more recent experiment has been the
employment of permanganate of pot
ash, which is said to kill the insect IN
all stages of its development. AS this
chemical has also been largely eul-
ployed for purifying the water of
doubtful wells, and especially with the
view of protecting against the cholera
bacillus, it wouldeseem particularly ap-
plicable for use in India.-Indian cor
respondence London Lancet.

A FORTUNE TELLER TALKS.
The Women Are More Independent
In the West.

In the West.
1T is remarkable how much innate
belief in some form or other Of super
stition there is in every one, with
hardly an exception, even in the most
said a fortune teller to a Tribune re-
porter yesterday. 1T only awaits an
opportunity to crop out.
"One frequently remarks in a gather
ing of most conservative people that
when the subject of dreams, premoni-
tion, signs, ETC., is introduced, though
at first there may be a slight hesitancy
in acknowledging ones self so silly,
as soon as the ice is broken with a
reminiscence each and every one is
eager in turn to give personal ex-
perience bearing on the subject.
"One species of divination practised
by amateurs and professionals alike is
what is called fortune telling by cards.
In every social clique there is a fun
loving girl with gift that way, pos
sibly in her case largely made up Of
penetration and invention, who poses
as a nineteenth century prophecies for
the entertainment of her young friends.
But it Is in small towns we generally
follow the art as vocation
I'VE much prefer the West, where
the women are independent and follow
any whim, regardless of criticism and
are, on account of environment, always
on the alert for a new stroke of for
tune. The Western temperament, too,
likes to take chances even in the tell
ing of cards.

usually illiterate women, in poor cir
cumstances, but that some of us pos
sess a faculty for reading past, present
and even future events, no one who
has had seance with US can honestly
deny; and it opens the way to serious
thought. Recall what hypnotism once
was and is now in the opinion of the
world, and hesitate to condemn us. But
comparatively a few years ago it was
ridiculed and distrusted, under the
name Of mesmerism. The church did
not hesitate to stigmatize it. Now
hypnotic subjects are exhibited at re-
ligious entertainments; and at a court
in Denver recently (and it is true else
where in the United States) such testi-
mony was admitted by the presiding
Judge.
That the spirit of prophecy has al
ways existed is historical If great
Caesar himself had listened to the
soothsayers cry, Beware the Ides of
March, on his way to the Senate
chamber, or needed his wife's dreams,
he would not have fallen at the foot of
Pompey's statue with the mournful cry
Et tn, Brute
Possibly the cards or tea grounds or
crystals and such accessories of the
modern sibyl may simply be a point of
concentration, and self-hypnotism does
the rest, for some scientists admit that
in the hypnotic state the faculties are
exalted" !"

PHoroGRAPH1NG OUR INTERIORS.

If the story coming from medical cir
cles in Munich is true, a decided ad-
vance has been made in treatment of
diseases of the stomach. If the physi-
clan could see the inner coating Of that
organ he would be far better able to
prescribe for it's Affections. 1t is re-
lated now that DR.. Fritz Lang of
Munich has devised an instrument that
enables the interior of the stomach to
be examined by photography and so
clearly that the result may be used to
diagnose with accuray a class of dis
eases whose detection is now matter
of great difficulty
DR.. Lang's instrument is constructed
on the same principle as are cameras
used for taking pictures of moving OBJ
jects, though he makes no attempt to
combine them so as to project the ac-
tual operations of the stomach. This
camera is the most compact ever made.
1t is so small that it is swallowed by
the patient. AS soon as it lodges in
the stomach the walls of the latter are
illuminated by tiny incandescent
lamp. At the bottom of the camera is
wound a photograph film twenty inches
long and a quarter Of an inch wide and
one end of this film is attached to
cord that runs freely in the tube, which
with the connecting wires are passed
down into the stomach along with the
camera
BY pulling the cord the film is drawn
through the camera past the lens, the
light being turned on at the same time.
When the him has tean pulled 4 short
distance the light is turned off. An
other sect!en of The film is then ulled
up and the light agam turned IN for
a new exposure, and SO on until the
requisite number of pictures have been
taken. The apparatus is then with
drawn, the films removed from the tube
and the pictures developed and en-
larged.
What next will the physicians ani
scientists devise for ascertaining the
conditions of the human interior? To
this date they have been able 10 lake
a rather extended view of the internal
economy OF the body. but this latest de-
vice promises to eclipse all others for
that purpose.

above. Properly speaking expansion IS
not party question; Republicans and
Democrats are lined up for and against
it. But the Bryanites in their mad de-
sire to secure an issue which in their
opinion may give them fighting
chance, have seen fit to recklessly op-
pose 1T. and thus is Democracy forced
as usual to get on the wrong side of
another great issue.
A WAR WANTED.
Los Angeles Times: The Govern
ments of the United States and Eng
land would probably be glad to give a
prize for some kind of war that will
suit everybody. Thus far in the career
of these two Christian nations, there
has risen up, whenever there came on
a war, class Of copperheads and kick
ers that add to the general suffering,
wounds and death peculiar long
drawn-out wall, roar and yawp which
is more horrifying to the ear than the
shrek of shells, the clash Of sabers and
the rattle of small arms. England is
just now suffering the same annoying
tortures inflicted by these people that
this country has been undergoing

THE MISSOURI MULE.
Stockton Record: Hereafter when
any one wants to definitely locate the
war cloud in any quarter of the globe
he should watch the direction in which
the Missouri mule is headed. During
the last month or more droves of these
animals have been purchased by the
representatives Of the English Govern
ment and shipped to Cape Town for
military service in South Africa. AS a
war barometer and in a still greater de-
gree as an active factor in actual hos
tilities the Missouri mule is all right.

GENERAL GOMEZ.

Los Angeles Times: The action of
that rare old Cuban, General Gomez, in
refusing to accept funds raised by pop
ular subscription to meet his personal
needs, commends him warmly to the
affections, sympathies and regard of
the American people. His declaration
that there will be opportunities to at
tend to personal matters when the
Cubans become absolute masters of the
Island of Cuba, is wise and statesman
like The Grand Old Man of the Gem
of the Antilles has shown on many oc-
casions that he has good stuff in him,
but never more clearly than he has in
this refusal to accept aims. It appears
clear that General Gomez is still to
continue to cut a big figure in the
conduct of Cuban affairs.
