Guy ravkcs' Lantern.

1t has been settled beyond a doubt
that the identical lamp which Guy
Fawkes carried in poking about in the
cellar of the houses of parliament, when
he intended to blow them Up, is now in
existence. This lantern is in the Ash
mclean museum at Cambridge. Guy
Fawkes was carrying this lantern when
he was arrested. The history of the
lantern has now been fully established
and it must take it's place among the
most celebrated exhibits in the museums

4 SONG OF JUNE: CARNATIONS.

The place that once your blossoms knew
Forgcts you. Salvias take the dew
And think themselves as red as you.
You are rcapcd. you are fallen like the
wheat
That flung its gold at Ruths bare feet,
Content that she should harvest It'll
Are You content to leave your kin,
The swaying pinlks, and enter in
New life that fades ere it begin2
Are you content? Content or no,
choose you out from huneycd snow
OF anisc from all pinks that blow
l choose you ont, mid silver phlox,
Nor staid my hand, because the stocks
We're sweet or tall the hollyhocks.
You are reaped, you are fallen. Do the bees
Miss you and ask the elder trees
What keeps you from June's mysteriesP
A deeper mystery than they deem.
A quiet room, where shadows seem
More than mere shadows. Here you dream
OF light outside, of cloudless sky,
A dreaming woman's pillow by.
Prisoner like you, condemned to die
Like you, before tomorrow's rain
Beat on her darlzened window pane;
But she, not you, will live again.

WHEN Admiral Dewey broke down
and his eyes flooded with tears at Sec
retary Longs touching speech, pre-
senting to him the sword voted to him
by Congress, it showed that, while in
danger he possessed the courage of
lion, there was also in his nature the
tenderness of a woman. The bravest
are the tenderest." The Admiral has
vigorous views about the manner
in which the Philippine cam
paign should be conducted and did not
fail to express them to the President.
That he is heartily in favor of keeping
the islands permanently has been dem
onstrated since he came to Washing
ton. He showed his feeling on the
question during the ceremonies at the
Capitol, by applauding the expansion
sentiments of Secretary Long, and
clapping his hands delightedly when
President Mckinley, speaking of the
victory of Manila Bay said: "There
will be no faltering in maintaing it.

SAYS the Philadelphia Record:
"Aguinaldo has opened the Presiden-
tial campaign of 1900 in Luzon. In
his latest proclamation he makes dis
tiction between Imperialists (whom he
vows he will fight to the bitter end) and
other Americans. He has waved his
hand across the sea to Brother Atkin
son, and has advised his followers to
pray that in the next election the great
Democratic party may be successful-a
result from which he seems to expect
great advantage to himself. The little
Tagal chief is evidently somewhat
mixed in confusing the party of
Thomas Jefferson, the greatest of
American expansionists, with the flag
furlers of the Atkinson school.

THE universal Yankee nation has
proved itself as successful in prosecut-
ing war against yellow fever, as was the
war with Spain. The outbreak at Key
West is being so skillfully treated that,
though the persons afflicted are many,
the death rate is remarkably low. Even
in Cuba, the home of yellow fever, an
outbreak at Havanais being conquered
rapidly and is now under complete
control. 1t is triumph of science as
great as triumph of war.

''It would seem that all the married

of the large number of divorces that are

grant divorce unless the testimony is

ADMIRAL DEWEY has consented to
accept house in Washington already
constructed, instead of having one
built for him, in accordance with the
invitation of the committee in the
northwestern part of the city. The
Admiral was officially informed on Fri
day of the purpose of the people of the
United States to present a home in
Washington to him. He expressed his
qualification at the offer.
Had the proposed home been the gift
of few wealthy men, he said, he
would not feel disposed to accept it.
But he noted that the fund had over
forty-three thousand subscribers, in
dicating that the home was to be really
the gift of the American people, and as
such he would accept it with as much
pleasure as he had the sword be-
slowed on him by Congress.

THE Beers and British forces in
South Africa are being put in hostile
array on each side of the Natal line.
Meanwhile actual hostilities are post
poned. The British wish the Boers to
take the initiative in attacking her
troops, as this would enable England
to forego sending her final terms for
reforms, which it is claimed, Kruger
refuses to make. He evidently means
for the world to see the hollowness of
the pretext for war.
The foreign news indicates that Rus
sia, Germany and most of the other ma
tions are opposed to the demands of
Mr.. Chamberlain, and so are some OF
the leading Englishmen. 1t is easy
enough for the British Ministerial ora
tors to satisfy themselves and their
hearers of the justness of their cause
in rhetorical periods about paramount
cy and suzerainty; but it is quite
another matter 10 present the case IN
