SEEKING QUIET.
MRS. BtlltoDs Knows Where She
Would Like to Go to Spend
the Summer.

Ezra" said Mrs. Billtops, ARE sani-
tariums quiet?"
''Well, I guess, Elizabeth" said Mr..
BilltoRs, "that that depends good deal
on the sanitarium; some are quiet and
some are not"
'Well, Ezra" said Mrs. Billtops, eff
you can find some quiet sanitarium
where can go this summer want to go
there instead of to the seashore."
And this was all on account of the
children. The hour was 8: 80 p. M, and
the smaller children had just gone to
bed after day of unbroken and unflag-
ging uproar and activity. The noise of
planning mill would have been as the
buzzing of lazy bees in a summer gar
den compared with the noise the
children had been making all day long.
The silence fell now, cool and grateful,
after the turmoil of the day, but the
reaction had left Mrs. Billtops little
limp.
ut isn't rest want, Ezra" said Mrs.
Billtops; cts quiet.
II know it, Elizabeth" Mr.. Billtops
said; II know it, and wouldn't object
to little quiet myself now and then.
I should like it if we could have quiet in
the house after dinner; if could smoke
my cigar in peace and tranquility; but
somehow the meal that makes me calm
ly happy seems to fill the children with
boisterousness and make them noiser
than at any other part of the day. Am
I right, Elizabeth"
"You are" said Mrs. Billtops, "but
hear it all day long"
II know it, Elizabeth; know it,"
said Mr.. Billtops, land have never
heard you speak of it before. I don't
see how you can possibly stand it, and
I'll look for some good quiet sanitari-
UNI, sure"
And then they settled down on either
side of the table and read, very COM
Portable, both, and both thankful in
their hearts for the children that had
been given to them, and who were'now
sleeping quietly.-N. Y. Sun.

VERDICT OF THE FARMERS ON
EXPANSION.

AS 20 per cent of the population of
the United States still live in the
country and the small towns, the
opinions of the jewellers in large cit
les on national questions is OF less
relative weight than many might
suppose. A plebiscite of 10000 farm
ers in all parts of the country on our
expansion problems, which has just
been completed by Farm and Home'
springfield, Mass.). has, therefore,
unusual value. More than half of
the farmers who voted are from the
Central West and Middle States,
which decided the 1896 election, aud
the rest are divided about equally
between the New England, the
Southern, and the Pacific coast
States, 80 that the whole country is
represented. Following are the most
important of the questions and re-

has arrived at Manila on board the

evacuated the Visayas and the north
ern part of the island of Mindanao and.
after blowing up fourteen forts and
the fleet of gunboats on Lake Lano.
He adds that 1000 Spanish troops are

The Spanish general also says that
before quitting the trenches he warned
the insurgents in the vicinity of Iloilo
that if they fired a single shot he
would raze the town.

Leon MIL, with General Rios on
board, sails for Spain on January 12.
Official circles here are warmly dis
cussing the attitude of Great Britain
owing to her pressing demands that
Spain sell her a coaling station in the
Balearic islands and other strategical
points, SO as to render Gibraltar unas-

The negotiations on the subject have
