AgufnaIdo's Cabinet.

A Kansas soldier in the Philippines.
writing home some time ago, spoke
thus of Aguinaldo' cabinet ''Many of
them are ignorant and greatly in need
of educational ability Most of them
are honest. some are rascals of the
worst type, and all need to learn some
thing Of the art and science Of war If
they are ever engaged in deadly con-
fict, they will be found wanting in the
commonest class Of military movements
and will have their followers slaugh-
tered like sheep in butcher pen. All
they know about war is what they have
learned in resisting the Spanish. and
that was nothing more than guerrilla
warfare of the poorest sort To come
out and meet foe on an open battle
field would be new experience for
them. and they are not inclined to face
that kind Of music. :

snere is one disturbing elemeat but Ter
which there would be no question OF
unqualified cordiality
''That is the Chinese immigration
question. That question has not been
clearly studied here. Our people have
not been thoroughly understood by your
people Your people judge of my coun-
trymen from what they saw OF them In
San Francisco, and hence the Chinese
exclusion acts have been enacted. Those
acts have been in force about 8 or 10
years but am bound to say that the
acts have not been very satisfactory to
either country Those acts were intend
ed to keep Chinese laborers from this
country but since the measures have
been in operation they have been inter
fering not only with laborers but also
with respectable classes of people to
whom they were not intended to apply
and to prohibit them from coming here
In saying this | do not say it in any
blame of those officials who are engaged
in carrying this law into effect
'tThey have been doing their duty
perhaps overzealously, but / do not
throw any blame on them But what !
would point out to you is that those
laws do not work satisfactorily and do
not bring about results aimed at by
your legislature. Hence there is an idea
in China that your people dislike our
people. | know that that is not the case.
but yet such an impression exists in
China, and I think it is worthy of your
consideration whether it should not be
removed Your people have such high
| notions of fairness and business that.
once the true facts are brought before
you, you will see whether it is worth
while to keep those laws or whether 1t
is worth your while to modify them.
Once the Objectionable law is modified,
then our people will embrace you with
open arms, and then there will be no
doubt of our real friendship and cordial
relations.
"Now that you have become our
neighbor, and if you want to deal with
| China here is the class Of people you
have to deal with, and if you see your
way clear to modify the only obstacle
that now stands in the way CT respecta-
BILE Chinese coming here and doing
away with the false impression in the
minds of our people, I have no doubt
that such step would rebound to the
benefit and advantage of both parties
| If you look at the returns furnished by
your consuls or by our customs returns.
you will find that your trade in China
has increased to a remarkable degree
China is constructing railway from
north to south. and she is practically an
open door to you for your trade pur-
poses There is great field for you
there, and with all our people favorably
disposed toward you / am sure you
will receive further benefits through the
means of still further increased trade. ="

Colds can be arrested much easier
than is generally supposed. With per
sons whose vital forces are vigorous
colds are almost entirely due to care
lessness. 1t is important that the feet
be kept warm and dry and that the
chest and abdomen be well protected.
Care should be taken to avoid exposure
when the stomach is empty. This is es-
pecia1ly necessary. Warm fannels and
woolens should be worn. Breathing
through the nose should be practiced,
and drafts should be strictly avoided.
Young people who dance seem particu-
Iarly careless about drafts Then, the
head should be kept dry. Do not wet
the hair before going into the open air.
Any one careful about these little
things will not be troubled with colds.

DRINKS FOR THE SICK.
How to Prepare Wholesome Bever-
ages For Weak StOmachs.

How to Prepare Wholesome Bever-
ages For Weak stOmachs.
Food is an easy matter compared
with the beverages which may be allow
ed to the craving of diseased stomachs,
because the diet is usually prepared &C
cording to the physicians orders, says
the Philadelphia Times. Very sick per-
sons are not so hard to please in food
and drink as convalescents and it is
for them that offer the following sug-
gestions:.
A fine draft for those that are weak
and have cough may be made up by
beating up fresh egg and mixing it
with a quarter of pint of warm milk,
a large spoonful of capillaire, the same
of rosewater and little scraped nut
meg. Do not warm it after the egg is
put in Take it morning and night. A
very agreeable draft can be made of
tumbler of fresh, cold water, a table
spoonful of capillaire and tablespoon
full of good vinegar. Tamarinds, cur
rants, fresh or in jelly, and scalded cram
berries, with or without sugar, make
excellent drinks.
Toast water is made by slowly toast
ing thin piece of bread until thorough
" Drowned and hardened, then plung-
ing it into jug of cold water and COW
ering it for an hour This is Of partlcu-
lar value in the case of weak bowels.
Barley water, both delicate and nutri-
tious, calls for one ounce of pearl barley,
half an ounce of white sugar and the
rind of a lemon, all placed in jug.
Pour upon it quart of boiling water
and let it stand for eight or ten hours,
when it should be strained and have q
slice of lemon added.
| Apple water is delicate and strength
ening. Cut two large apples in slices
and pour one quart of boiling water
upon them. Strain in two or three
hours and sweetens lightly. Roasted ap-
pies may be used this way or the peel of
half q lemon and handful Of washed
currants may be added, with a little
wine put in just before it is taken.
Orangeade and lemonade are merely the
Juice of the fruit, little Of the peel,
sugar to taste and water. Boiling water
is better than cold, and cover to the
vessel while the mixture is cooling is
necessary.
For tender chest and equity affec-
tions there is nothing better than or
geat. Beat two ounces of almonds with
a teaspoonful of orange flower water
and bitter almond or two. Add one
quart of milk and water to the paste
sweeten. With half an ounce of gum
arabic it will allay the heat of govt,
and with half a glass Of brandy its
strengthening power is increased. For
colds there is nothing better than hot
lemonade or capsicum tea taken after
you get under the bed covers, and fol
general health nothing equals cold wa,
ter taken in sips, but aggregating
quarts during the days.

Unnecessary Anxiety Over Our Re-
lations With That Country.

Unnecessary Anxiety Over Our Re-
lations With That Country.
A good deal of unnecessary anxiety
seems to be exhibited both in Germany
and in the United States about the
trade relations between the two coun-
tries. Some figures just prepared by the
treasury bureau of statistics show that
the supposition that American trade in
Germany or German trade in America
is being disturbed or depressed by ex-
listing conditions seems to be unbound
ed Certainly the United States is Civ
ing to Germany a larger percentage OF
her import trade than ever before and
is selling to Germany larger percent
age of her exports than ever before.
American exports to Germany increased
over II per cent in the past six months
compared with the corresponding six
months of the preceding year, which of
themselves were phenomenally large,
and the imports from Germany into the
United States in the past six months
were nearly % per cent greater than
those of the corresponding six months
of last year, The share of our import
trade given to Germany has steadily in
creased during the past decade, as has
also the share which she takes of our
exports A decade ago 10 per cent of
our imports was taken from Germany,
while now 3 per cent comes from that
country A decade ago s per cent of
our exports went to Germany, now
over Is per cent goes to that country,
and in the last half of the calendar year
1897 cur exports to Germany were $3S,
632, 1872 and in the last half of the cal
endar year 1898 were $40, 615, no an
increase of nearly 25 per cent. Our ex-
ports to Germany in the last half of the
heavy export year 1897 were ST., 1884,
053 and in the last half of 1898 were
$50, 9O3, 100 Even in meats and provl-
sions the exports to Germany in 1898
show marked gain in nearly all
classes. In sailed or picked beef the ex-
portations increased more than % per
cent in 1898 over 1897 Exports of ba-
con increased 25 per cent, or nearly
10, 900, 900 pounds; those of hams in
creased from less than 5000, 900 pounds
to nearly $4,000, 900 pounds; those of
pork, fresh and sailed, from less than
8, 900. 900 pounds to nearly Is, 600. 900
pounds; those Of lard from 205, 900, 900
pounds to 23s, 900, 600 pounds, while in
fruits and nuts the exports of 1898 were
nearly so per cent in excess of those of
1895, and but slightly below those of
1907

TO CURE FRosTBITEs.
How to Treat ChilbIains and Frozen
Ears and Fingers.

Ears and Fingers.
A Timely word to parents who per-
NIT their children to engage in winter
sports Frozen or frostbitten hands,
feet, nose or ears are easily got and as
easily cured if you know how; other
wise the results are most serious. This
condition is brought about by the con-
traction of the cutaneous vessels and ts
often the result of only slight cold. The
chilled parts become very pale, After
the first contraction there follows a dila-
tation of the vessels throughout the
affected area, which takes on a deep
red color. Swelling develops, and there
is an itching or burning sensation.
Severe pain may occur when the froZeD
parts are too rapidly warmed. The red
ness may disappear in few days, but
not infrequently it recurs. Paralysis OF
the blood vessels may remain through
out life. Chilblains come from repeated
slight freezing of the fingers and toes
and frequently attack persons who have
to daily change from hot to cold atmos-
pheres. Women and pale people are more
susceptible to mild degrees of freezing
than those whose pulsatiOn is strong and
the blood supply ample. When blisters
appear and there is a continued absence
Of sensation, say for two or three days,
in the frozen parts, the case is very
severe, and gangrene is likely to result.
I have amputated fingers, hands and
even legs because of freezing and the
continued lack of proper medical atten-
tion.
In ordinary mild cases of freezing
treatment may be effectually admins
tered at home. Bear in mind that the
affected part should not be warmed too
rapidly, but should be bathed in snow
or ice water for few minutes then
wrapped in wet cloths. The patient
should then be gradually warmed Ii
this does not bring relief, by all means
call physician. Predisposed people
should keep their hands and feet we'll
! wrapped to avoid chilblains. Ordinarily
when these are present cold applica-
tions bring relief. John Dean in
st. Louis Post Dispatch.
