will have an army of 10000 in the
Philippines as soon as they can be

made by Secretary Alger after a
conference with the president at
which Gen. Corbin was present.
Alger said this would give Otis an
army of about $4,000 effective
men for duty at the close of the
rainy season and would give force
enough to force the Tagals to
terms. He also said there would
be no call for volunteers.
Gen. Otis cabled this morning
that he would organize two skele-
ton regiments out of the yolun-
teers who would re-enlist. These
regiments will be completed by ad-
ditiOn of new men and be ready
for duty Immediately.

Experiments conducted under tn.
auspices of the Department Of Agri.
culture at Washington for a couple Of
years are said to indicate that hog
cholera, or swine plague, can be treated
with success and with comparatively
little expense. According to DR.. Sal
mon, of the Bureau Of Animal Indus.
try, eighty per cent. Of the hogs treated
in droves have been saved, while in
the droves affected with cholera, but
not given the cru treatment EN-
ployed by the department., eighty per
cent. were lost. Last year the expert
ments resulted in a loss of twenty-five
per cent. and this year the loss
amounted to only nineteen per cent.
In the view of DR.. Salmon there is no
question of the effectiveness of the
serum treatment, which now takes
rank as a proved success. This is 0
matter OF q very great interest to the
farmers of the country who raise live
stock, for, according to one estimate
the hog ~raisers of the United States
lost $15, 900, 900 in the year 1896
through the ravages of hog cholera,
an amount the bulk of which might
seemingly have been saved through
the application of the serum treat
ment.

SKATER BELLE OF THE BALL.

Generdde1 shafter WsS decidedly the
belle of h~<feceht peace Jubilee ball
in Chicago. He received more atten-
ton than anybody except the presf-
dent and Mrs. Palmer and accepted
tic alteration of the multitude with
becoming modesty. Early in the eve
ming his boz became surrounded by a
crowd of admirers and the general
was in a state Of siege during the rest
of the night. Some pretty girl had a
brilliant idea and asked the general to
write his name upon her engagement
card.
81 don't dance" said the hero Of
Santiago.
Il know that" returned the eager
damsel,, "but ] want your auto
graph"
The general took a pencil with a
willing air and write his name so large
that it covered two lines. Then every
other lady around rushed up to him
with the same request and kept him
busy for an hour O more writing his
autograph upon the printed list Of

in town had him down for waltzes and
others for two-steps, and Of course
they will save the cards as souvenirs
and no doubt show them to their
grandchildren in the middle Of the
next century and relate how they
danced with General Shafter at the
great jubilee ball.
The autograph craze then became
general, and nearly all the famous
men present were detained until they
had written their names upon the
engagement cards of hundreds of
ladies. Those souvenirs will be
doubly interesting because of nov
city, but it will require further evil
dence to convince their friends that
they danced two-steps with Secretary
Gage and the Chinese minister and
waltzes with Governor Tanner and
Senator Cullom.
Excepting the president, Arch
bishop Ireland was perhaps the most
popular guest at the jubilee. Like all
the other d%ignitaries, the Archbishop
went to the ball, and, Of course, was
imposed upon by any number Of
pretty girls. He wrote his autograph
along with those Of General Miles,
General Shafter and other prominent
men, without noticing the character
Of the paper that was presented for
his signature. 1t would make a de-
cided stir in the college Of Cardinals
ot Rome if soma Of tho onpapama0t
cards that were used at the dance last
night were submitted to them, and I
fear that the holy father would be
shocked to e the name Of this emf
nent prelate written in his own hand
upon the engagement list Of many a
Chicago girl for waltzes. two-steps
and other dances which have not
usually been included in the accom-
plishments of ecclesiastics.

rest Of the summer in appropriate
paragraphs he carried his phantoms,
as the American custom then was,
from watering place to watering place.
By autumn they amused his acquaint'
ances as much as they did him, and IN
due course they elected to pass the
winter in Philadelphia, where they
went often to large dances, dinners
and entertainments in general. In a
few months their inventor had so well
established them socially that he be-
gan to find their names in lists OF
guests sent to him for publication by
hostesses. who wished to persuade the
town that they had everyone worth
having in their drawing rooms. Such
spmblance of flesh and blood soon
brought vexatious questions to his
door, and he prudently sent his phaE-
toms to Europe, where the husband
died, and the wife chose to dwell per

You must blast the quarry and break

Ere gardens and overs. may thrive
But my clouds with castles each night

But billions of acres Of sky.
Oh, the town is great and the town is

And it's gay as a town a be,
And the house on the height where

With joys that will never fly;

It does not nsed reference to the
well-known maxim, 'sJust as the twia
is bent the tree inclines," to show the
Importance of intoxicating frugal, say
ing habits among children. Practically,
however, in most schools this is e
matter of precept only, and even thai
is not in most cases made prominent
by proper insistence. The difference
such habits wisely directed may bring
about in the lives of children is Ger
tainly vast enough to make the sub
ject of intoxicating habits of thrift and
economy a feature of the public
schools. This has been done in many
Of the schools of Chicago, by the
establishment of the penny savings
bank system, through the aid and co
operation of the teachers and certain
banks. The system is SO arranged as
to require but little time on the part
Of teachers and principals. The Til.

ings amounting to $40O, the system

Russia q W0rid.DOminator.

Whether Russia will succeed in her
scheme of world domination is open to
question, but her policy is being pur-
sued under conditions without parallel.
Unless she should break up from in
ternal commotion-not a likely contin-
gency-she will attempt the conquest
of Turkey, Persia, India and China,
bit by bit, and according to fitting op-
portunity. She has at present a docile
partner, ready to be used, little realiz-
ing that the ally of to-day will be the
victim of tomorrow, when no longer
needed. Germany, whose policy must
of necessity be opportunist, is ready to
tacitly support Russia, while she is
in the ascendant. Japan is, of course,
a most important factor in the future
destinies Of the Pacific. She wisely
keeps her wv counsel and prepares
vigorously for eventualities, making
those careful and minute studies Of
every country in the world which have
already yielded such astonishing re-
suits. Her future course will be large
1y influenced by the action of the
western powers, and it need not be
said that the most energetic among
them will gain the symrathies Of the
island empire. Should Russia succeed
in becoming mistress of Asia, she will
dominate some eight hundred millions
of the human ~race-active, hardy, in
telligent, and requiring only direction
to become a formidable force in any
competition, whether in commerce or
in war. The reduction of the British
empire is essential to the accomplish
ment of her scheme of universal do
minion.-Eastward Expars.on Of the

How to Keep the Instrument In Coco
It is well to sometimes rub the wires

and to pass a soft muslin over the
sounding board by means Of a slender
point which will slip between the
wires and engage the cloth, which may
then be carefully moved over the sur
face, taking off the dust. A steel cro-
Chef hook or a stout knitting needle
will answer the purpose. 1t is adv1s-
able to keep a little camphor inside
the case, for If the moth has been at

N0tre DANES Towers Uneven.

Most Of the thousands of visitors
who annually thrcng Paris-ward
would be i%ncredulous were they told
that the towers of Notre Dame were
unequaled. But the statement is true,
nevertheless, and a series of learned
papers upon the subject have just been
served, for the first time, to bring the
circumstance before even the French
public.
To that obnoxious person, "the cas-
ual observer" the towers, of course,
appear exactly equal in size. The "cas-
ual observer" seems to have been
made for no other purpose than to
play the scapegoat for the five senses
of humanity. In spite of him, how
ever, there is a difference in the size
of the bays, and the reason for this
is that originally the cathedral of a
suffragan was not entitled, by canoni-
cal law, to two towers Of equal size.
For centuries Paris was suffragan to
the Archbishop Of Sens.
