AN ARMY OFFICERS ESTIMATE OF THE
PEOPLE-DIFFTCUIT PROBLEM
FOR THE UNITED STATES.

The following extracts from a private letter
written by Army officer stationed in the
Philippines:
You must have read so much about these islands
and their inhabitants that l hesitate 10 say any
thing that subject Still. I will venture 10 put
down one or two things that I have heard and
seen in my short stay. IN the first place, IL IL a
bigger country than thinks, extending 1000
miles from north south and 500 from east TO
west with 1000 Islands and of 10000 square
mileS-about three times the size of the State of
New-York. This island-Luzon-is almost exactly
the same area ) New-YOrk. Then they very
thickly populated. Being all mountainous, the
land where people must live is perhaps the of
the State OF Ohio. and there are 100000 people

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using any thing else for indi-
gestion or biliousness. Doctors
were scarce and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermenta-
ton of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they
took when feeling bad and dull
with headaches and other aches
You only need few doses Of

uid form, to make you satisfied

1t Oueered him.

A good story is being told of the
effect that horse meat had on some
coal miners working not far from
Florence. One day the proprietor
brought in a supply of fresh meat
After eating it the miners became
sick and the cook was reprimanded
He claimed, however, that the ket-
tie was clean. and that the meat
was properly cooked. This state
of affairs was continued for several
meals, when one of the victims
picked up a TRIBUNE and read
about horse meat. That settled
it. The boys knew then what
they had been up against, and the
idea more than the meat is what
affected them. They dreamed
about it that night and the next
morning one of the miners was
completely locoed. He spun
around like top and walked cir
cles. The peculiar part of the
story is that his companions, see
ing the plight of their fellow
worker, flew the coop, and no one
seems to know whether the locoed
man is still spinning or not. AT
any rate horse meat caused work
at that particular mine to stop.

Miss Siddal had a trying experience.
In order that the artist might get the
proper set Of the garments in water
and the right atmosphere and aqueous
effects, she had to lie in a large bath
filed with water, which was kept at
an even temperature by lamps placed
beneath. One day, just as the picture
was nearly finished, the lamps went
out unnoticed by the artist, who was
so intensely absorbed in his work that
he thought of nothing else, and the
poor lady was kept floating in the cold
water till she was nearly benumbed.
She herself never complained of this,
but the result was that she contracted
a severe cold, and her father, an auc-
