The People Sympathize, But
The Government Does Not.
| On Jan. 2l at the Grand Opera
house the largest auditorium in Wash
ington City, q notable gathering of
Bocr Sympathizers ives held. 1t was
addressed by Senator Mason of Illi-
nois, Allen of of Nebraska, Congress
man Bailey of Texas and Clark of
Missouri and De Almond, Cochrane,
Rhea Lentz aud Van Siclen and others,
all Of whom expressed strong sympa-
thy for the Beers in their fight for
their homes against grea. odds. The
house was packed to the doors, and
at the conclusion of the meeting the
following ringing resolutions were
adopted.
"Whereas, the American people still
cherish the lessons and memories of
l77G, and therefore fully understand
and realize the rapacious war which
Great Britain is waging against
small, bnt patriotic people, whose mis-
fortune is the possession of natural
wealth coveted by British greed.
Whereas, In the prosecution of
this cobber warfare, Great Britain has
has been balked as yet, of her tyran-
nous designs, and las, therefore, re-
sorted to unlawful and barborus war
tactics, as Is her wont, to-wit:
81. The arming and mobilizing of
savages.
90 The distribution of dum.dum
bullets to her soldiery, coupled with
the boast that the British government
posses 1OO,OOO,OOO such bullets.
"3 The illegal seizure of peaceful
merchandise ell route from the neutral
ports of the United States to friendly
Portuguese markets.
"Whereas vha president of the Uni
ted States has not taken proper no
tice Of these outragas, making it nee.
essary for the people at large to ex-
press their will through public
assemblages, and serious warnings
therefore, the citizens Of the Ameri-
can capital in mass meeting assem-
bled, have
''Resolyed. That tue people of
the Orange Free States and the South
African republic are and of right
ought 10 be independent, and their
civilization is recognized to be equal
morally to that OF any other people,
the false witness of the British press
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Therefore the precipitation upon them
of savage foes in alliance with trained
soldlery threatens the repetition of
the horrors Of Wyoming, Fort Darien
and other events, bitterly remem-
bered by the American people as ruth
less instances ofBritish perfidity and
.dishonor. The attention of the pres
ident of the United States is respect
fully directed to this feature, which
is notorius matter, of common
repute throughout the world.
"Resolvcd that this meeting, in
concert with the American people
throughout the land, sends its sym
pathy and good will and heartfelt
encouragement to the Beers, and re-
minds them that as we triumphed
against the same foe, so may they.
"Resolved. that we beseech and
strenuously urge tho president of the
United States to exercise the preroga-
tive vested in him by the peace con-
ference lately arranged by the powers
OF the civilized world. We beg him
to offer his good offices as mediator
between the Beers and the British,

tunate En- glishmen and their families,

should be more carefully raked over
than the lawn, for the reason that
some OF our orchard pests live over on
those that have fallen. This gathered
brush should not even go to the wood
pile, if the latter is near the orchard.
The writer remembers a woodpile that
was part of great orchard, and to
that woodpile was brought all the
limbs and other material that came
out of the orchard. The piles of brush
would remain for more than yeai
sometimes, and the enemies of the
orchard found in them safe harbor.

Value OF a Laugh.

The value of good-natured laugh
may be rated low by some people,
but many writer's have attested its
worth in no measured terms.
1t is not surprising that the merry
Charles Lamb should have said, "a
laugh is worth a hundred groans in
any Market" but from the lips of the
sombre Carlyle one is scarcely pre-
pared to hear, ''No man who has
once heartily and wholly laughed can
be altogether or irreclaimably bad"
1t was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that "What was talked of as
the golden chain of Jove was nothing
but succession oflaughs, a chromatic
scale of merriment reaching from
earth to Olympus"
II am persuaded" wrote Lawrence
Sterne, 'that every time man smiles
but much more so when he laughs
it adds something to his fragment oi
life."
Last of all comes the verdict oi
Doctor Holmes. given with his own
inimitable humor: '"The riotous
tumult of laugh, I take it, is the
mob law of the features, and properly
the magistrate who reads the rio
act"

sunshine and influenza.

In view of the known bactericidal
influence of sunlight it would not be
surprising to learn that an inverse re-
lation exists between the amount of
sunshine and the prevalence of infec-
tious diseases. providing, however, the
temperature is not excessive. Some
observations recorded by Ruheman
appear TO indicate that influenza is
more prevalent when the amount OF
sunshine is less, and it is not impos.
sible that similar rule would be
found to apply to other infectious dis.
eases also. In the eight years from
1898 to 1900 the number of hours oi
sunshine during the month of Janu-
ary, when influenza was exceedingly
prevalent, was between 9.S in 1900.
and 62.3 in 1S99-the mean being
1914. A similar state of affairs was
observed in Madgeburg, where from
1882 to 1900 the number of hours OF
sunshine varied during the same
month between 10 in 1900 and S6.3 in
1888. Similar figures were obtained
in observations made in other cities
of Germany.-Philadelphia Medical
Journal.
