 pliment.

pliment.
 Have you ever observed at theater or concert that the people who are most deeply interested appear between the acts to be quite weary of the whole thing, yawning half dozen times ln accession? The reason of this is physiological one. When your atten- tion is much absorbed in anything ex- citing or touching, you breathe in Every shallow manner, and take into your lungs only half enough air. Con" sequently. when your attention is re- faxed, you have to make up the defl- ciency. This you do by yawnlng which, after all, is only breathing a very deep breath. If you watch a man at a play, and observe that he is greatly moved by some incident, you may feel sure that when the scene ends he will sigh, and a moment or wo later yawn repeatedly. Of course he yawning, so far from being a sign of weariness, is proof of the liyeliest appreciation. Very often you will ob- serve the same phenomenon in girl reading a novel. And by her yawns you can tell when the end of some ab- sorbjng incident is reached.

 In Tine

The waiting-room of the Boston and Dakota Railroad station was hot Everything about it, from the diRgy letters on the door to the shabby red plush of the seats, was dirty. An odor of bananas and peppermint came from the refreshment stand. Near the door two schoolgirls in showy hats were eating caramels and rolling their eyes at the ticket agent, A shriveled old lady sat in a retired corner, sur reptitiously adding to the dusty pie of peanut shells which lay under the seat Halfway down the room, & sticky child in dirty white cap, be- ing forbidden to roll on the foory kicked it's mother frantically and gave vent to series of angry shrieks.
 Between the windows sat girl who, from her small velvet turban to the tip of her polished boot, seemed the very embodiment of luxury. Her mouth had a determined expression but her blue eyes were unsophistica- ted and there was an admiring, trust full look in them as she gazed at the man by her side.
 He appeared less obviously out of place in the forlorn surroundings. His clothes were new-too new; and he seemed III at ease His somewhat ex- pressionless eyes rolled nervously and he alternately fingered his glove but ton and fondled scrubby little mus tache.
 Suddenly there was rattle and jar at the dingy door and an elderly man hastily entered. He cast glance about the room, and then walked di-- rectly toward the pair by the window. The young man started up at his ap- proach and began to speak with eyi. dent embarrassment
 we are-that is-you sec"
 Come, Marguerite" interrupted the gentleman, i've have just time to catch the three-forty-fye train for home."
 He held out his hand for the travel ing bag. The young girl drew herself up resentfully.
 Father" she said, Alfred and are together now, at last-and forever"
 She smiled and looked proudly up to the young man by her side for con- firmation. He had picked up her bag from the seat and was about to hand it over her to her father. Her cheek paled slightly and then flushed. Silent ly she took the bag from his hand as from that of servant; then lifting the breadths of her skirts, she turned to her father with a smile; ''just time, she repeated mechanically-"ju just time to catch the three-forty-f

CHINESE PRAYER.
Inspired by inc First Sight of n
 nIcyeIe.

nIcycIe.
 A Baptist missionary once sent home an account of a prayer offered by Wang Cheng Sui on the occasion of the visit of two Americans who were on 8 tour around the world on bicy- eles After the bicyclists had ridden to the mission station Wang prayed: We thank Thee, our Heavenly Fa- ther, that our eyes have this day seen the real pattern of the 'self-going cart of the aneients. What mysterious wis dom is Thine! How willing Thou art to impart knowledge to men! But our sins hinder. Thy revelationsl How stupid have we become through serv- ing Satan so long Many years have we lived. aud yet today for the first time we have seen this marvel Of Thy skill, which has enabled Thy servants in the West to understand. Forgive our sins. Restore us to Thy favor. Communicate to us, also. Thy mys- teries, and let us share in the wonder ful inventions by which Thou dost make Thy name glorious amongst those who serve Thee. Let us be in. trusted with Thy secrets, and possess the power of the aneients; so with all our countrymen come to know that we have found the right path, and are servants of the true God" The mis- sionary thinks Is very likely that such prayer will provoke a smile, but he bids us believe that Wang was in red hot earnest, and that he simply felt that he had witnessed miracle anu was giving God the glory.

If Dewey Had Sailed Away.
From the Chicago Tribune;

From the Chicago Tribune;
Suppose Admiral Dewey, having an
initiated the Spanish feet in the Philip
pines and thus made it impossible for
Spain to injure American interest any
where in the Pacific, had sailed away
what would have been the present status
of the islands and their inhabitants?
Had he departed at that time he would
have left the Spanish in possession of
Manila, with an armed force strong
enough to hold it for an indefinite length
of time. But sooner or later Spain would
have become convinced that all hope
of regaining its old position in the Phil
ippines was vain. 1t would either
have withdrawn its forces from the
islands, abandoning them as derelicts, or
selling them to the highest bidder.
If Spain had pursued the former
course the vultures of Europe would have
swooped down on the islands They
would have been parceled out between
the different powers. There are so many
of Europe could be given a few. The
United States might have obtained ma
val and coaling station. But, England,
Russia, France, and Germany would
have had the lions share of the spoils.
Then the Philippines would have ceased
to exist like Poland, except as a geo
graphical expression. There would have
been some German, French, Italian, and
Russian islands. In the event of such a
partition nothing ever would beheard of
Filipino nationality or independence.
More probably Spain would have sold
its Philippine sovereignty to the highest
bidder, presumably Germany, which was
then lowering in the offing with its war
ships, and which has since been glad to
buy the comparatively valueless Caroline
islands. Then if the Filipinos had not
submitted at once to their new masters
they would have learned the consequent
ces of withstanding tan arbitrary and
strong military power. Germany has at
its disposal large and disciplined stand
ing army, idle and yearning for employ
ment, which would have crushed out the
last spark of revolt, even if the Filipinos
had been extinguished and Luzon had
been made desert in the process. No
commissions would have been sent to ar
que and plead with the inhabitants and
invite them to share in the responsible
ties of government.
Germany would have treated the Fill
pinos as subject race. They, and the
territory they occupy, would have been
exploited for the benefit of Germany
Their so-called independence" would
have been buried fathoms deep. Germany

never lets 90 of territory it has once laid
government or how eager for independ-
ence its inhabitants may be- If Germany
had bought the Philippines the Filipinos
never would have become independent.
They never would have been treated
with. So it is plain that if Dewey
had sailed away from Manila when he
sunk the Spanish feet the Philippine
republic" would have been more of
a barren ideality than it is now.
If that dream ever is realized it will
be because Dewey remained in Manila
and the islands fell to the United
States-a compassionate and a tender
hearted nation, if such a thing may be.
1t may be that under American rule
the Filipinos will develop some capacity
for self-government. The Malay race,
however, never has done So 1t has pro-
duced intrepid buccaneers, who have ex-
plored all Oceanica, and desperate pi-
rates. 1t has never created stable gov
eminent or nationality. 1t has turned
out heroes who were handy with the kris,
but never master of jurisprudence The
Malays made their way to Luzon as did
the Normans to England. They conquer
ed and seized the lands of the original
inhabitants, the Negritos, as the Nor
mans did those did those of the Anglo
Saxons. But the Normans knew how to
rule. The Malays in the Philippines did
not. They remained barbaric tribes,
with no more government than tribes of
American Indians. Those Malays we're
not nation when the Spaniards discov-
cred and occupied the islands. They are
not one now. They never bad any but
tribal relations. There is no Filipino ma
ton. There is simply multitude of dis
cordant and unorganized tribes. They
are no more fit in their present raw state
to make a republic out of than the Iro-
quois were or the Arabs.
Whether it would have been better for
the United States if Dewey had sailed
away is past all finding out. Nobody can
know what would have happened in that
event. But it is clear that his remaining
there was a blessing for the Filipinos. 1t
has saved them from the treatment the
Malagasy have received from the French
and Asiatic tribes from Russia. They
have escaped the club of Germany and
the grip of the Great Bear The Filipinos
are, indeed, fortunate to have fallen un-
der the guardianship of the most merci-
full nation on the earth.

Amt State Tax
e. "

1t will be noticed that only once in
1895, has the amount of state tax appor-
toned to this county approached that of
the current year, and then it fell short
of the present apportionment in the sum
of SSS, 1884, which difference is consider
ably more than the entire state tax of
1869, thirty years ago. And the increase
for the present year, as compared with
1898, which does not appear to have been
one of the extravaganza years, is the sum
of $40, 561.42 or considerably more than
the entire state tax for either of the years
1890, 81, or '92. 1t will be observed, also,
that the amount of tax apportioned for
the present year is considerably more
than double the tax of 1894, only five
years ago Isn't it time for the people
to call a haltY

fest in all departments of the public ser

true, of course, that an increase of ex-
penditure in the management of our
state is the natural outcome of our in
crease in population and wealth. but a
study of the subjoined table will convince
anyone that neither population nor
wealth has kept pace with the increase
of taxation. Michigan is great state,
but her greatness is no excuse for ex-
travagance and wastefulness in the man
agement of her public business:

ELSEWHERE in this paper is published
a communication from "a Citizen" criti-
Ching President McKinleys Philippine
utterances and the Northerner for sp-
proval of them. As might be surmised
from its tone, the communication is from
an against the administration demo-
crat, from whom approval of the presi-
dent could not be expected. OF course,
our friend is entitled to his own views,
and is at perfect liberty to air them
through our columns. We do not care
to engage in any controversy with him
in the matter, and leave our readers to
form their own opinions as to the presi-

torial from the Chicago Tribune in this
paper, gives clear resume of the matter.
