WHEN JOHNNY COMES HOME.

The agony a mother suffers sending
her son to war, says Harper's Bazaar,
is the measure of her hope in the
thought Of welcoming him back. Boys
in blue are returning from the Phil
ippines. And this Is how they come:
The army transport Grant, lately ar
rived from Manila, brought II insane
soldiers; 125 soldiers in irons, prison
ers; los sick soldiers The bodies Of
three others, i'll at the start had been
cast into the sea. What OF the despair
in wUmen's hearts when Johnny
comes marching homer" The irony
of war appears in the wrecked man
hood that survives And the drain
upon American manhood is to con
tinue. General Otis has stated to the
president that the United States can
not safely reduce it's forces in the
Philippines for a long time to come.

School Masters Club, argued this posi-

said he had been told again and again

influence of the life there is deaden-
ing in the extreme. Often they mad
taken such positions as a means Of
studying for profession, but once in
the stream of Incidence prevailing there
they fell into the current of doing the
least that was required during the
hours of service and nothing at all
outside. While the civil service sys-
ten is admitted to be some improve.

deem says that when you come to the
professions its application appears
positively ridiculous. TO explain his
position he says: Suppose when You

upon formal charges Suppose If you
were dissatisfied with your lawyer You
could not employ a different one until
YOU had got the first disbarred / hope

ranged TO advance the price of tea,
and that an increase in its cost OF 20
per cent may be looked for. The
Ledger adds:
The preliminary rise in the prices
is attributed more to shortage in the
first Japan crop than TO the unsettled
condition in China The first Japan
crop was several million pounds short
of the average, and the second crop,
which has not yet been gathered, also
threatens to show a deficiency OF
5000 ace pounds. Both in Japan and
China, Ii is reported, the war cloud
has unsettled trade 20 such an extent
that bankers refuse to advance money
to gather the crops. The fact that
congress is not in session and that
there can be no immediate disturb
ance on the duties on tea was also
given as reason for the upward ten
dency in prices. The importers know
exactly what tea they have in bond
and what the demand is likely TO be.
They can, therefore, regulate prices
to suit themselves regardless OF any
effect the Chinese troubles viii nave
on the future supply. But the i'm
porters all profess to be confident
that, whatever stage the war troubles
advance to, short of putting the entire
Chinese empire under the sea, there
will be no lack Of supply. They say
that the boxers are long way off
from the tea districts, and that so
long as the Chinese are able to raise
their crops they VIII find a way to
get them to the export cities in the
south
