Iittle Hero-wor,hIncr.

The most touching memorials maze
by hands are not the statues, tablets
and inscriptions erected over the dead,
but the simpler offerings of spontane-
Gus affection. In the crypt OF st. Paul's
cathedral in London lies buried Lord
Nelson, chief among the naval heroes
CT England. Leaning against the mar
BILE tomb is small square of per-
forated cardboard worked as a sam
pier, which for six years has remained
there undisturbed 1t bears these
words, spelled in worsted letters: In
loving memory of dear Lord Horatio
Nelson. Thy will be done,'" and was
brought thither by child whose heart
was in this tribute to his hero. The
rules forbid the encumDrance of the
stones by miscellaneous offerings, but
the verger stood by and watched the
offense committed, and the authorities
have never ordered this true I'm
Memorlam" to be removed.

Bubonic plague, the terror of the
orient, has made its appearance almost
simultaneously at Manila, Adelaide
and Honolulu. In the Philippines, in
Australia and in Hawaii, fortunately,
energy and intelligence are in COM
mand and every precaution possible
will be taken not only to limit the
plague but to stamp it out at once.
In Manila the military government has
already inaugurated an effective quar-
antine. Vigilant efforts are especially
necessary, as there is no sewerage in
the capital of the Philippines. In Homo
lulu drastic measures have been re-
sorted to in the burning of the Chinese
quarter of the city, where the deadly
disease had effected a Judgment. With
energetic action it is to be hoped the
plague may be stayed.

Hoot, charged with the crime of send
ing an Internal machine to his wife last
October, has been captured at New Or
leans. Never in the history of Iowa
has a case, short of cold-blooded, pre-

his wife's life. The police say they
have conclusive evidence of Hoot's
guilt.

THE PROFESSION OF spy.
Necessary to Warfare and, Although
Hazardous, 1t Is Lucrative.

NECESSARY To warfare
Hazardous, 1t Is Lucrative.
From the London Mail: The word
| Spy" has an ugly sound owing
to its many unpleasant associations,
yet in war times spies afford an army
sid which is as valuable as it is highly
remunerated One of the maxims of
commanding officers, in book for
their guidance written by Lord Wolse-
ley is that a successful spy must be
petted and made much of. ; The man
agement of spies is very difficult. Out
of every ten employed by an officer
commanding a war district he is for
tunate if one gives him truthful in
formation. 1t is a most important
thing that spies should not be known
to each other. Great care is generally
taken by officers that each spy shall
imagine that he is the only that is en-
ployed. 1t is very necessary that all
bona-fide spies should have about their
persons some means OF proving them
selves really to be what they represent
themselves. For this purpose a coin
of certain date, Bible of a certain
edition, a testament with the seventh
of fifteenth leaf torn out are generally
employed. BY their means spy who
was employed in a neutral state, max
ing his way to the headquarters OF the
army in the field, could thus make
himself known to the intelligence de-
partment there. In some instances it
is considered that a sign or password
should be employed, as it is less COM
promising. The putting up of the
right hand to the ear and then to the
left ear, or some such gesture, is gem
orally employed. The more extensive
the ramiications of the system the bet
ter are the chances for escaping detec-
ton. 1t is very necessary that officers
of the intelligence department should
be provided with specially prepared
paper, upon which letters can be writ
ten in ink that does not become visible
until it has been subjected to some
chemical process. 1t is also necessary
that letter in ordinary ink should in
variably be written on the same paper
containing the information that it is
required to keep secret. Although a
spy runs the great risk of immediate
death if he is detected, yet the service
is not without glory at times, and IL is
certainly extremely lucrative.

AFTERTHOUGHTS.

Many a man wouldn't be nearly SO
lucky If he depended on luck.
Ones admiration for oneself is large
ly due to the limitations of mirrors.
1t is when we become rich or famous
that we find out where are the friends
of our youth.
Don't abuse the world because il
abuses you, because the percentage is
always against you.
The shrewd man does not openly
condemn another for being an ass; nor
does he cry him down; nor yet shun
him; for he knows that the ass, though
a little slow of movement and compre-
hension. is a very convenient beast OF
burden, and. remembering work of his
own that should be done. he profits by
his knowledge.

it has not been the practice of the Sec

conversations. 1t may be said, how
ever, that in the transaction of bust

either by telephone or face to face,
which has had any reference to any
relations, official or private, otherwise
