A writer in the New York Sun calls
attention to the fact that December a..
1899. will be the centenary of the death
Of George Washington. and he suggests
that the next II months be spent in
preparing glorious memorial celebra-
ton for that day. He suggests that
there be Washington funerals in every
church throughout the land. that all
the church bells toll forth 100 times
each on his death centenary. also IL
times to indicate the number of states
in the Union at his time. that the bells
ring the number Of states in the Union
as at present constituted. and still
further that each Of the original 13
states erect an equestrian monument
to the great American patriot.

Senator Jones' assertion to the effect
that the military forces of the United
States cannot be used to restore order
in the Philippines, because Congress
has declared no war against the Philip
pines,' is absurd. The Philippines are
virtually in the possession Of the
United States, and We're practically ad-
mitted so to be by the Spanish peace
commissioners at Paris. No govern
ment on earth has recognized the Fill
pinos as a nation. They are simply
disturbers Of the peace. and as such, on
territory under the military authority
of the United States, can be suppressed
by that authority.

As we stand on that dim threshold. fresh

A damp. mysterious odor is lurking all
about;
The grim old haircloth furniture paraded

For some pretentious gathering. seems
anxiously to wait.
IT'S such a solemn, sacred place, it surely
seems a sin
Upon the faded carpeting to let the sun
light in;
But on the wall CLINT of it steals
through the shutter slide.
Touching grandfather's portrait there be-
side his bonny bride.
Upon work of rare design the sunlight
sheds its ray
Wrought BY two white hands turned to
This Flower piece encased in glass
seemed to my childish eyes
A thing to gaze and wonder at, and sa-
credly to prize!
The tall, funereal mantel for giant race
seemed made;
Beneath i doomed the fireplace. where as
It's blackened depths with care are
decked with grasses in row.
Like feathery ghosts from ashes of the
fires of long ago!
My world was not within it's walls,
loved the light instead
i
wholesome dread
But each loved spot upon the farm in
memory has a part,
And that old musty parlOr holds it's cor
ner in my heart! .f ..

II. w. wilson, author or 'IroncIadS ~
Action" and man who stands as high
as naval authority in Europe as does
Captain Mahan in the United States
has written number of articles deal
ing with the lessons taught by the
| Spanish-American war; In his latest
article, Naval Lessons of the War;" in
the current Harper's he says that the
naval struggle between the United
States and Spain was abnormal, re-
sembling no war in the past and
| afforling but doubtful inductiOns FOR
the future. Mr. Wilson declares that
while the general results of the con-
fii"ts were foretold, no naval student
would have ventured to suggest at tho
beginning of last April that in two
pitched battles of decisive Importance
| the fleets of Spain would be virtually
annihilated by the Americans. land
! this without the loss to themselves OF a
single ship or at the cost of a solitary
human life. The low price at which
| these memorable victories were pur-
chased enhances their brilliancy in the
eyes of the world" Mr.. Wilson ex-
! presses the belief that the Spaniards
and that the first and the greatest les
son of the war is that good ships and
good guns are useless il there are not
officers engineers and seamen to work
the ships and good men behind the
guns.
He says: Five ships with trained
crews are better than ten ships with
unframed men. In the battle of Santi.
ago The advantages were not greatly
against the spaniards:. The American
vessels engaged had . capacity of 800
shots in FIVE minutes: throwing 39.4Oo
pounds of metal THE Spanish vessels
engaged had a capacity of 1867 shots in
five minutes. throwing 1920 poundS of
metal, The Spanish vessels were rated
at high speed, but through the superb
GRITTY of personnel the Americans were
enabled to make with their heavy ves-
sells as high speed as the Spanish
cruisers"
The English writer draws two main
conclusions from the great naval bat
ties Of Manila and Santiago; the first
being the helplessness of old ships
against modern cruisers, and the Sec
ond being the superiority of the rapid
fire eight-inch guns over the heavier
13-inch monsters. Nothing, ne holds.
has been more clearly taught than the
great Importance of coaling vessels ana
a coal supply for the weaker navy. as
the stronger navy can seize and hold
bases for supplies: but where the
navies are of about equal power the
coaing station is of the utmost import
ance. In the matter Of coaling sta
lions, the writer says that England has
spent $500. 100000 in the last half GEN.
fury, and that in this respect the Eng
fish lion is without a rival. In closing
his interesting article Mr.. Wilson says:
''The skill, and high fighting qualities
displayed by the american navy in the
| recent struggle have been such as 20
greatly enchance it's reputation. while
the excellent performances of its ships
prove that its materials are OF the
best"

The fact that the Latter Day Saints
show an increase of 1925 members
during the year. and that the present
membership is 34O.639 would not seem
to indicate that Mormonism Is decreas-
ing. The Christian Scientists are
credited with a total membership Of
10000, and it is stated that 10000 Of
these were gained during the year just
past The Adventists gained 2503
members and now number S4.454, the
Christians gained 2S6S and now have q
membership of l24.S6S. the Dunkards
gained 5000 and now have 1O9.194, the
Jewish church Is credited with men,
bership of 200. 900 but it is stated that
there has been no appreciable gain
during the year. but down through
the list of smaller churches the gains
are all very satisfactory.
The statement in regard to finances
is equally pleasing and it Is shown
that during 1895 the churches spent
$25. O0O. 900 upon charities and missions.
and that the general outlook Is very
encouraging. A general summary
shows that there are 149.sss ministers,
a gain of 1907 in a year. that there are
189. 4SS churches, a gain of 6327, and
that there has been an aggregate gain
in membership of ss2. 300. the total now
bling 27.714,523, or fully one-third OF tn.

a Maine Central engineer says that
times in the course of a week in the
| winter because Of children sliding down
hill in the country. 1T seems to me
| that IL there is ever a blind crossing
where a steep hill runs down across
the track, there the country children
are surest to congregate to slide. One
day recently ! saw not less than ten
sleds start at the top Of a hill leading
down to a crossing which we were to
cross, as we approached. ] footed the
! whistle. rang the bell and made all the
| noise l knew how, but on they came,
| and they made no effort to stop or run
out till we We're crossing the road, and
| then they ran out into the snow. One
| of them might have become unable to
manage her sled and shot under the
| train. Ny nerves will not hold out if
many more such shakings as that are
given them"
The latest strike reported in Maine IS

The Ellsworth Enterprise has been

| no rx-hA N
| have visited this island early in the
| 18th century, came, lived here an old
| Indian chief who was monarch of all
he surveyed. Every man, woman and
child was his subject and he ruled them
with rod of iron. His wigwam was
on the summit Of Green mountain
from whence he gazed down on his
subordinates who uwelt in the valley
below. Not only were the people made
to obey him but the birds of the air
| and the beasts of the wood and field
acknowledged his authority. But like
all other men Of his disposition. he had
his favOrites which, in this case, were
| three enormous porcupines. One day
after the beasts had committed some
| trifiing gnisdemeanor. the king up
braided them more severely than he
was wont. When suddenly. to his
horror, what should he behold but the
| three porcupines slowly walking away
| from the island out into the sea. He
shouted. coaxed. and even offered
brides for their return but in vain, they
still continued on their way. Finally
in his wrath, he took up large rock.
for he was Of giants strength, and
hurled it after the retreating figures.
