make no difference, as he would be-
oueath the property to her by his will.
But none of the income from the in
vestment found its way into the wires
pocket and he found in course OF time
that it was not enough to pay Tor the
designations in which he habitually en-
gagged. This induced him to try to OBJ
tain from his wife the few thousand
pounds which she still possessed, but
she quite properly refused to hand
the money over.
He was much incensed at her obstl-
nancy; but on his death six months at
terward she found he had left the
houses to her by his will, as promised.
No deeds could, however, be discov
cred, and an investigation revealed the
fact that he had mortgaged the prop
erty up to the hilt, 50 that the bequest
was nothing but an empty farce. Mt
any rate, the widow could scarcely be
expected to see the humor of the joke.
An eccentric but wealthy American
quite recently made a daughter who
married against his wish the victim Of
his humor It had long been his
hearts desire that she should wed a
son OF the stars and stripes, and when
young Englishman sought her hand,
while on a visit to America, the irate
parent Wou4ut AoC AeS@I VI eh0 0nS"So
ment.
But the damsel had a will of her
own. and before many months had
elapsed she became the wife of her
British sutton, and with him took up
her residence in this country.
Not long since her father died, and
on his will being read it was found to
contain a bequest to her of a large
number of shares which the deceased
had held in a certain London joint
stock concern. On paper this was a
very handsome legacy, but in reality it
! was no legacy at all, inasmuch as the
shares were absolutely worthless, the
company having gone into liquidation
before her father had made his will.
There could therefore, be no doubt
as to his motive in making this worth.

FILIPINO LANGUAGES.

The American Bible societies have
been trying to find out how many Ian
guages are in use in the Philippines, so
that they may know how many trans
lations of the Gospel they will have to
introduce there after the Gospel of the
machine guns is fulfilled. Thus far
they have found eleven, and there are
a dozen or more islands yet to hear
from. Of these eleven no less than
seven are spoken in the island OF u
zon, Wis, Tagalog, HOGAN, We'll, Pan
eastman, Pamrango, Zambal and Ha-
nag. by 1900 900 people, which would
indicate that the population OF that is
lard is much less than the outside fig
ure Of 1000, 900 estimated by the friars.
The diversity of languages, or, more
literally speaking, of dialects, is a
suggestive illustration Of the diversity
of the races ana of the difficulty, if not
impossibility, OF ever elevating the
Filipinos to American citizenship. Il
also skaters the beautiful but illusOry
theory Of our mugwump friends that
the Filipinos are a homogeneous ma
ton, fighting for their rights as free
people. They are about as capable Of
centralized government and as likely
to enjoy it as the clans of Scotland or
Ireland were 1000 years ago. They
would have their knives out and be AZ
each others throats within a month ar
ter the power of the United States
should be removed from the islands,

English bridge builders cannot I'M
derstand how their American competi-
tors took from them the job CT erect
ing the great steel bridge that is to be
thrown over the Nile in the Soudan,
and because they were not able to COM
plete the work in the time demanded
insinuate that by some duplicity the
Americans must have been given the
specifications long in advance of them
This is an imputation that is SUFFICIENT
ly refuted by the experience of the Mid
land railway of England when it want
ed locomotives quickly. The English
makers demanded double the time for
contracts that the Yankees asked and
against their wishes the Midland peo-
ple were compelled to ccme on this side
for the work English manufacturers
NAV not understand the Yankee
method of work which accomplfshes
such results, but it is fact, and they
will do themselves more good and us
more justice if instead of imputing
trickery they seek to find out why
they are falling behind and to remedy
the fault which is plainly theirs.

the hardest service in The Indian wars
including the fateful Custer campaign
in the Little Big Horn; four times
wounded, once desperately, before he
received his death stroke, this soldier
of soldiers has risen to not more than
a lieutenant colonel's grade in the reg
uiar army when it invaded Cuba last
summer Almost forty years of his
life in the blue uniform of his country
and rewarded with the command OF
regiment only a comparatively few
days before leaving the hospital, ne
went to lead it to his end!
Until after the Cuban campaign his
nation had nothing more to give him
for his scars and his service than
lieutenant colonel's rank and pay. On
the first days fighting at San Juan hill,
one Of the captains ran to him, cheef-
full and smiling, and asked what were
&he orders. Forward, siri" was Eg-
bert's reply; ego forward; always Tor

From the hospital he went as colonel

season for him to take part in the
fiercest battle of that campaign. At 50
years of age this old man of forty
years service led a charge which was
so splendid that his commanding gen

tai throes, lifted his hat reverently and
said: st was nobly done. Egbert.
And Egbert gasped: Goodbye, gen

That record and only a colonel by a
few days! And of sixty years of life
forty of servicei It is of such men
that yellow journals and yellow dema-
gogues in congress fear we may make
military aristocracy to rob us of our
precious liberties. So they must mar
row the numbers and pare the rewards
of those men who, having the educa-
ton and the genius for the military,
devote their lives to it, that political
filters may lap at the soldiers pay
when there is nothing else to give
them.
And the, soldiers son, with no pol.u-
cal pull remains a private in his faith

a commission for his boy by his death

glory which a soldiers arms Hash on

DEATHBED JOKES.
Men Who Have Played Sorry Franks
on Their Relatives.

The sense of humor must be strong
in tbs man who perpetrates jokes on
his deathbed: but such has been done
on more than one occasion.
Sir John Soane, who died in 1886,
made such conditions in his will that
their fuIf1lment caused people to regard
them as nothing but a joke. He di-
Iected that a certain box belonging to
him should not be opened until thirty
years after his decease. A second box
was not to he opened until twenty
years after the first, and third was
to remain intact until another ten
years had passed away.
The boxes were opened when the
stipulated periods had expired, but
were found to contain nothing what
ever of any value, and the only conclu-
sion people could come to was that
these very precise directions were only
intended by the testator as a little
joke.
Several years ago a Liverpool trades
man made a will leaving all he pos
sessed to his only child, a son who had
caused him endless trouble and ex-
pense On his death his son made a
diligent search for the will, OF which,
however, he could find no trace.
Subsequently, while some books were
being removed from a shelf, a sealed
envelope dropped out of Bible, and
on being opened was found to contain
the missing WILL on the back of which
the testator had pencilled memo
randum to the effect that he had placed
the document in the Bible because he
knew it was the last book his Maynard
heir would be likely to take up.
AS for the dead mans property, with
: If hic ,f1TnitnTo and "A
few pounds in the house. he had dis
posed of it al, before his death. His
bank account had been closed, and
various shares and securities sold for
the benefit of certain charities to pre-
vent the property being squandered by
! the spendthrift son. 1t was rather a
neat joke to bequeath property already
disposed of, and to conceal Will
scarcely worth searching fer.
| A Yorkshire merchant once played
! a similar trick on expectant relatives
/ Though supposed to be exceedingly
wealthy, he was really poor man.
which fact did not prevent him leaving
several thousand pounds to charities
/ several thousand more to relatives, and

other avaricious relative who aHecteo
a very warm regard for him.
The feelings of the legatees on find
ing, when he died, that although each
had been left a substantial legacy by
the will, there was only sufficient prop
erty to satisfy the deceased's debts, car

A SOLDIERS CAREER.

The American race while thrilling
with admiration at the noble manner
in which Colonel Egbert met his death
in the Philippines when leading his
regiment in d brillian charge, will not,
we are sure, overlook the pathetic side
of his military career. 1t is side that
appeals to us mos5 strongly at a time
when we have seen the treatment
which congress bastows on the profess
sional soldier whose splendid spirit
and gallant deeds add glory to the stars
and stripes in whatever land he bea.s
them.

HEALTH THE KEY TO BEAUTY.
Don't Keep the Windows Shut Nor the

Writing on ''How to be Pretty

Home Journal, Mrs. Humphrey con-
tends that without fresh air the body
cannot be healthy. and in the absence
of good health the possibilities of good
looks are diminished Many a girl
whose complexion might be clear and
softly tinted if she only gave 1t
chance goes through life with a thick
and muddy looking skin that suggests
the ACCESSIBILITY of an application OF
emery paper, because she insists on
sleeping with the windows shut and
therefore breathes bad air for at least
three-quarters CT the night. Scien-
lists Inform US that a room which
measures ten feet wide by fifteen long
and twenty feet high contains enough
air for the consumption of one person
for one hour. After that its freshness
is gone, owing to the carbonic acid
given off by the lungs. Yet the major

windows shut down tioht. The GUS
