Rejoicing at Hawaii,

August ~, the first anniversary of the
day on which the American flag was
raised over this country, will be observed
as holiday by Hawaii. This was de-
cided on at recent Cabinet meeting.
There will be grand reception and ball
in the executive building. The govern.
ment expects the citizens will unite to
have day programme of sports and
other events. President Dole said it was
desired to make the day a memorable
one.
Senator c. D. Clark of Wyoming, who
is visiting in the islands, in recent in
terview said:
There is not a member of Congress
that has anything in mind for Hawaii
save the most liberal form of govern
ment. You are not merely assured Of
territorial form of government, but you
will have local privileges here that the
territories recently admitted to the Union
were forbidden. You may tell the people
OF the islands that their fear OF colonial
government is without foundation. l
know whereof speak. Not man in
Congress wants to see such form of
government for Hawaii, and President
Mckinley, an enthusiast for Hawaii, is
OF the same mind"

Antiquity of "f1ip, Hip, Hurrah!"

When an Anglo-Saxon can no longer
express his feelings by set words, he be-
gins to shout, Clip hip, hurrah!' AL
though this means nothing in itself, it is
an admirable cry, quite superior to the
Latin's "Salve," "Vive," or Viva" the
Greeks Ute" or even the Germans an
cient "Hoch, with which the conquering
Goths troubled the peace and decorum of
Rome. Hurrahl" three times repeated,
seems much more thrilling than any
other word could be-unless it is the
rapidly repeated, electric abbrevation of
itself, "'Rah! 'rahl 'rah!' which the
American Student has developed out Of
his own particular enthusiasm.
On the occasion of the revived Olympic
games in Greece, not long ago, all the
Greeks and other Europeans listened with
great admiration to the college cries of
the American students, when these stu
dents cheered their comrades who took
part in the games. Nothing like these
cries had ever been heard nefore-at least
in modern times.
An educated Greek said. "Why that cry
is so thrilling, so well adapted to the use
OF great crowds, so clean and suggestive
oil force and rush, that it seems as If you
Americans had hit on the true cry of the
ancient Greeks!"
Perhaps they had unconsciously done
so, Tor "hurrah," in some form is very
ancient. A gentleman named Adams has
lately published statement in which he
claims to have discovered the expression,
Hip, hip, hurrah! among the early
Egyptian hieroglyphics. II this is true,
the words must have come down to us
through Rome.
But what really impressed the Greeks
at the Olympic games was not so much
the repetition OF "'Rah! 'rah 'rah!" as
the sounding of the letters of name as
"Bl L! A! K! E!-Blake! 'Rah! 'rah!
'rah!" The sounding OF the letters was
ofcourse unintelligible to those who did
not understand English, and was more
impressive to them, prehaps, than it is
to us.
Apropos OF the fancied derivation of
Hip, hip, hurrah!" from the early Egyp-
tian, an English paper, the London Daily
Telegraph, takes occasion to satirze the
Expansion" policy Of it's own country
in the folio wing fashion,
"The only consolation derivable from

Good Anecdotes.

Max O'Rel relates that while he was
teaching in an English school lady
wrote to the head master: Dear sir
1t is our intention to place our boy under
your care, but before doing so we would
like to know what the social standard oil
your school is" To which the head
master replied: Dear madam: So long
as your bov behaves well and his fees are
paid regularly, no inquiry will be made
about his antecedents.
1t was an open-air meeting in village
near Exeter that well-known speaker
was holding forth.
"Menl" he shouted, what we want
and what we are going to get is free
land. We want the land for the people.
Free land, men, we want, and we are
going to have free land"
Just then large piece Of earth landed
on the speakers eye, and while he was
removing the clod voice yelled ont:
There's a bit of Devonsi lie to begin
With London Tit-Bits.

bear healthy children. The prospective
mother should use every precaution to
preserve and foster her health Not
alone for the sake of the little one to
come but for her own sake. A perfectly
healthy woman is in no danger and in
very little pain at her time of trial.
There must be due preparation for
this time. Nature makes the prepara-
tory period three-fourths of a year and
women who take the hint from nature
and use the time properly need have no
fears of the outcome. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is a medicine designed
to cure all distinctly feminine ailments
and taken during the period of CESSATION
it renders childbirth easy, safe and COM
paratively painless.
1t is the invention of DR.. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. ", regularly graduated
physician and skilled specialist in the
cure of all diseases of woman.
Mrs Orrin Stiles of Downing, Dunn Co.. Wis,
writes ~ cannot praise your Favorite Pre-
scription enough, for have not been as well for
five years as now am. In July last had a baby
boy, weight II lbs. was only sick short time,
and since got up have not had one sick day."
Sick women can consult DIR. Pierce by
letter free of charge Every letter is held
strictly private and sacredly confidential.
Designing men work on women's
feelings, by advising women to "write
to a woman who understands woman's
needs" 1t is useless to seek advice about
disease Of any woman who is not ply
stefan. So far as known no qualified
woman physician is connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment.

Affairs In Cuba.

Gen. Wood Of Santiago gives in the
Century Magazine Tor August an article
on the present situation in Cuba. He
speaks favorably of the Cuban people.
We find them, he says, possessing many
good qualities. They are impulsive, gen.
erous and easily led and controlled by
those whom they trust. There suspicious
are easily aroused. AS class they are
anxious to work, and there is not the
slightest difficulty in getting all the men
necessary to do any work, except labor
in the mines. In conclusion he says
II can speak only from my own ex-
perience in regard to the condition of
affairs in Cuba, but basing my conclu-
sons upon that experience | can state
positively that if we give the Cubans an
honest, economical, non partisan govern
ment under military control, and use
every means to put the most desirable
and competent Cubans in office, liberalize
and Americanize their institutions, i'm
prove the sanitary conditions of their
towns, organize and put into effect
suitable school system, get rid of the
present intolerable administration of
criminal law and put in operation an
equitable system OF taxation we shall
find that there is no Cuban question left,
and that we are dealing, not with dis
trustful, suspicious and resentfu people.
but with a people who will appreciate
what we are doing for them and will
give us their cordial support. This has
been my experience in the province OF
Santiago, and | think that | can say
without exaggeration that the condi-
tions in that province were as difficult, if
not more difficult, than those existing in
any other portion of Cuba, for we had
nearly halt the Cuban army and found
the province in condition of complete
dsorganization so far as it's civil govern
ment was concerned. | have never yet
proposed any measure intended to bene-
fit or improve the condition OF the people
which has not met their warmest APP
prevail. They have worked enthusiastic
cally in all school reforms, they have
supported every effort to improve the
sanitary conditions, and they have used
all their influence in supporting the meas
ures introduced to guarantee public and
impartial trial OF all persons charged
with criminal offcnses. There have been
virtually no disorders of any conse-
quence, and in the province Of Santiago,
which includes 29.4 per cent of all Cuba,
including the islands, and has over one
fifth OF the total population of the island.
have found the people to be with me in
all projects in which could have expect
ed the support of an honest and self
respecting people. OF course it would be
foolish to claim for the people OF Cuba
today all those sturdy qualities which
we expect to find in people accustomed
to eli.government and control. We did
not expect TO find these conditions when
| we went there

No Army Canteens in Canada,

Not one drop ofint oxicating lqour is al
lowed TO be sold at any OF the military
camps OF Canada. Here, at least, is an
administrative fact on which the present
government is to be congratulated. 1th has
long been deplored by those interested in
our young men that the patriotic ardor
that drew them from their homes-many
for the first time-should bring them into
those temptations into which exhilara-
ting social conditions betray reckless
youth. Fathers felt bitterly, mothers
protested strongly aud continuously, and
commanding officers who had the good
either of the service or Of the young men
at heart greatly deplored the evil. An
evil it was for which there was no sort
OF need. A considerable majority OF the

The TERRA Del Fuegans.

Since the earliest days Of American his
tory there has been halo of romance
thrown over the Indians of TERRA del
Fuego and Patagonia, which has always
made their life story intensely fascinat-
ing. Early exaggerated reports peopled
these lands with dangerous races of huge
giants quite twice the size of ordinary
human beings. Later, and supposedly
more accurate, statements made the
people the most ignorant of all abort
gines. Even Darwin says: II believe in
this extreme part of South America man
exists in lower state of Improvement
than in any other part of the world"
Although the people are neither of the
huge proportions described, nor lowest
in the scale of human enlightenment,
truth in these early tales. The people of
Patagonia, and of the main island of
TERRA del Fuego, are very tall people.
The men are six feet high, with perfect
muscular system; the women nearly as
tall; and. dressed in furs, both appear
like giants when compared with the
average European. The smaller tribes
inhabiting the islets are people who
are in outward appearance the most
miserable Of all men, and their imple
ments of chase are indeed very imperfect
But their language is so extensive that
mentally the lowest of the Cape Horn
people must be regarded as far above the
Australian and some of the African
tribes. Through the indefatigable work
of Thomas Bridges the missionary, now
deceased, have been able to collect a
vocabulary Of 1000 words. The mere
existence of this large number of words
bespeaks an intelligence far in advance
of many other aborigines.- Frederick
Cook in Harper's Weekly.

We get very interesting details con-
corning the interior of Luzon island from
the letters of the soldiers. Here is
something we have not seen before. 1t
is from a letter written by Lieut.. Ward
Cheney of the 4th infantry. 1t is dated
June o.
1.-The lake at Morong is very beautiful
indeed and made me think of Lake
Champlain. 1t is lined with fine nj cum
tains. Morong has big stone church,
built for tort like all the country
churches, a big Spanish government
building and two-arch stone bridge of
which Manchester would be very proud
il it owned as good one. The town is
of nipa and bamboo. Don't believe all
this rot in the newspapers about the
awful tropical jungles of Luzon. am
quite sure that the American army has
not yet struck piece of real jungle. The
country about here is more open, better
cultivated, more thickly populated and
much easier to soldier in Except for
climate) than is the eastern part of Conn
ecticut. You can't conceive of the
amount of labor that these Industrious
people have expended in the cultivation
OF their land. 1t is something that
makes Yankee open his eyes very wide.
There is beautiful rich farming country
all along the north side of he Laguna
de Bai-a country which will stand com.
palison with the best we have in New
England. The roads through the noun
tains are bad, but not so bad that tour
mules can't draw heavily loaded army
wagons over them. The people who re-
gard this island as trackless wilderness
OF swamp and jungle are as far off as the
Europeans who believe there are wild
Indians in New York city.

medicines and advice are worth more
to woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
/ became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and inflammation of ovaries.
~ underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permis-
sion to go back to work. / went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies Before
the first bottle was gone I felt the eff
fects Of it. Three bottles of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package Of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat

now is How much better you lools!' and

the cause of my health. Mrs. Il. ].
