News that Great Britain may have
to fall back upon a supply Of dum-dum
bullets for use in South Africa causes
a shock to our conventional sentiments
about what is called "civilized war;"
says the Chicago Journal. And yet If
both combatants used the dum-dum
bullet it might hasten the final result
without being inconsistent with their
general intentions toward each other.
War Is no longer waged naturally and
honestly and on its merits. We have
it refined and conventionalized in Il
ludicrous attempt to disguise its real
character and minimize its necessary
horrors. The immediate object of the
soldier in battle Is the swift death of
the other fellow. The ultimate object
Of the government is to punish the en-
emy nation until it quits. Disguise it
as we will, it is organized manSlaugh-
ter If we We're natural and honest
about it we should proceed toward that
end by doing all the damage to the
enemy we could in as many different
ways as we could. But ambassadors
and ENJOYS have got together like sec
onds before duel and agreed that we
must be polite and make Our,ymutual
hate look pleasant while it is having its
picture taken. SO we dress up its
horrors in attractive garments and
agree to use weapons of relatively
small efficiency and great tardiness Of
execution. We may kill the enemy,
but we must kill him politely. We can
not shoot him with an exploding rifle
ball because that kills him too rudely
and shocks his nervous system too
much-as IT, when nations went to war;
they were not like ravening beasts,
drunk with the lust of blood. We can
not adopt any means at our disposal
We can kill man with jagged, sharp
edged piece of shell. but mustn't shoot
with old nails and broken glass. 1t is
permissible to sweep down whole com
panies at once with the fan fire of an
automatic gun, but we mustn't dispose
of our foes by introducing even the
gentlest Sedatives into his water sup
ply. These things are ridiculously in.
consistent with the purposes of war.
1t Is like saying it Is laudable to shoot
man through his lungs, but unfair to
shoot him through the liver. 1t sug-
gests the story about the fellow that
proposed to his big antagonist in the
duel that the latter should mark on his
person the outline Of a man of average
size, and any shot that struck him out
side the mark shouldn't count. Would
1t not be more consistent If nation
used against an invading enemy, for
example. all the resources and ingeuu-
lty at its command?

How to Cook Husbands.

a good many husbands are entirely
spoiled by mismanagement in cooking,
and so are not tender and good. Some
women keep them too constantly in hot
water; others freeze them, others roast
them, others put them constantly ia n
pickle. 1t cannot be supposed that any
husband will be good and tender man
aged in this way, but, as a class, hus-
bands are really delicious when prop
erly treated. In selecting your llus.
band you should not be guided by the
silrery appearance, as in buying mack
erel; nor by the golden tint, as if you
wanted salmon. Re sure and select
him yourself, as tastes differ. DO not
so to the market for him, as those
brought to the door are always best.
1t Is far better TO have none than not to
know how to cook them properly. 1t
does not make so much difference what
you cook him In as how you cook him.
See that the linen in which he is
wrapped is white and nicely mended,
with the required number of strings
and buttons. Don't keep him In the
kettle by force; he will stay there him
self If proper care is taken. If he sput-
ters or fiZZes do not be anxious. Some
husbands do this; add little sugar in
the form of what confectloners call
kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any
account. A little spice improves them,
but 1t must be used with Judgment.
DO not try him with anything sharp to
see If he is becoming tender. Stir him
gently the while, lest he stay too long
in the kettle and become fiat and taste
less. If thus treated you will find him
very digestible, agreeing nicely with
you. and he will keep as long as you
want-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Sir Donald Smith, Lord Strathcona
was born in Scotland rs years ago. He
emigrated to Canada at an early age
and reached this side of the Atlantic
with but little money in his pocket. He
was of an adventurous disposition,
however, and plunged into the life of
pioneer in the undeveloped Canadian
West. He grew up with the country
and amassed a fortune. He has long
been one of the wealthiest men in Can
ada and is President of the greatest
concern in the Dominion, the Montreal
Bank. He is also President Of that
great corporation, the Hudson Bay
Company. AS director Of the Cana.
dian Pacific Railway and one of the
largest stockholders of that railroad,
he has been an important factor in de-
veloping the West. Sir Donald has
been for nearly forty years connected
with Canadian politics and has been
during the greater part of that time
one of the most prominent figures in
Canadian national life, both as a
shrewd, practical politician and great
financial power. AS a patriotic Cana
dian and distinguished philanthropist
Sir Donald stands without a peer in
the Dominion.

The dictum is no less applicable to each
inquirer to-day.

There are few people still convinced
that the twentieth century has begun,
and there are others who are halting
between two opinions concerning the
matter Most of the accepted authori-
ties of the world agree that the twen-
tieth century will not begin until Jan.
l, 1901, and this will be the accepted
decision the world over of this much
discussed question. 1t is evident, or at
least it seems that any one ought to
consider it evident that the nineteenth
century will end after 1900 years have
been completed or at midnight of Dec.
81, 1900. This being the case, the new
century will be ushered in at the first
moment of time Of Jan. 1, 1901. 1t is
curious that such simple problem
should have proved so veXatious, but it
illustrates how easily bubble may be
made to appear logical. Those who are
convinced that this is the first year Of
the twentieth century will doubtless
continue to hold that notion until pub
lie opinion has become so settled that
to 90 opposite to it will result in rldi-
cule. That will end the debate.

BLACK WALNUT.

a Discarded American Timber Which
Europeans Appreciate.
The great size often reached by the
walnut tree, the richness of the dark
brown wood, the unique beauty of the
grain sometimes found IN burls, knots,
feathers and in the curl of the roots, all
conSpire to make this the most choice
and hgh-priced of all our native woods.
Twenty-Five years ago walnut was eX-
tensively used in the manufacture of
fine furniture and tinishings in this
country, but manufacturers adroitly
drew attention to the beauty Of darbly-
stained quartered oak, and the Use Of
the rarer wood has greatly declined.
But all this time the search for ine
black walnut logs has gone on sySte-
matically, though quietly, the trade at
tracing little attention, though the vol
ume of lumber handled has been large
Though found to some extent IN the
Atlantic States from Massachusetts
southwark, the great source Of supply
has been the central portion of the Mis-
slssippi Valley. The walnut is at home

Western streams and in the stony lime
stone soils of the hills and mountains,
and in such localities the buyers have
left few trees unsurveyed. Throughout
Eastern Kansas, Missouri and Arkan-
sas, as well as the States along the
Ohio and its tributaries, may be seen Il
few logs at this little station, Il car or
two at that, with carefully hewn sides
and painted ends, ready for the market.
If you ask where the market is you
will find that the great bulk of this rare
lumber goes to Europe.
While we have been led into an IN
thusiastic admiration for tue Oaks
stained according to the degree Of an
tiQuity it is supposed to represent, our
European cousins have been paying
fancy prices for the rich black walnut
that we have allowed to go ''out Of
fashion. ."-Berea Quarterly.

Lord Strathcona Will Equip a Forci
of Canadian Rough Riders.
The offer of Lord Strathcona, Cana.
dian high commissioner in London, to
equip at his own expense a corps of
400 mounted volunteers, for service
with the English in Their war against
the Beers, has attracted considerable
attention. This splendid offer has been
accepted by the Dominion government
and picked men will be recruited from
the northwest and Manitoba. The es-
timated cost of the force even for a
short campaign will be over $500,00C
and If the war lasts unusually long the
figures may reach $2,000000 or $1,000
600. This act crowns many princely
donations made by Lord Strathcona to
various philanthropic and educational
enterprises in the Dominion.

Prison Babies.

Very few people outside official cir
cles know what a large number of ba-
bies are born every year in the infirm-
aries of prisons and penitentiaries, the
little people always causing quite a
fiutter of attentiveness and excitement
among female Warders and prisoners
alike.
OF course there is vast difference in
prisoners, and sometimes the person
least attentive to the prison baby is the
mother herself; but, OH the other hand
the general body of the women prison
ers make the most pathetic efforts, by
means of all manner of trifling scraps
and odds and ends, to fabricate articles
of wear and ornament for the out-of.
place little stranger.
Quite three -fourths of the women
volunteer to tend it, and it is often the
case that the most refractory and diff
cult of the prisoners soften and greatly
alter by being allowed to do little
things for it; indeed, it acts through
out like veritable ray of sunshine
who generally manage to get themselves
into great good humor by suggesting as
volubly as the prison rules will permit
fantastic names for the child. Within
certain period of their birth these
children are taken away from the
mother and arr tended elsewhere with
the utmost care and humanity.
