FARM LIFE.

The question has been raised and ID
being discussed In some papers whether
or not farm life can be made 40 attractive
40 other occupations. While discussion
is always beneficial a. fAr - II leads to
thought and investigation, there 10 little
prospect that this question will ever be
settled to the conviction and satisfaction
Of all classes for the very reason that
classes exist, and their Ideas Of what 10
attractive vary as much as the size OF
their shoes or the color Of their hair. II
Is worthy Of note, also, that the Ideas re-
gsrding any given situation In life are
not controlled by the present occupation
Of persons In question. Among mer-
chants we find men who are In love with
the business activity In which they are
engaged and would be lost and uneasy
in any other situation, and others who
are kept there by force Of circumstances
and are looking forward to the time
when they can close out and settle quiet
" on a farm where they imagine that
the ideal existence Of mankind Is found.
On the other hand we find farmers who
are fairly successful yet feel all the time
As II they were kept at the foot OF the
they were unable to rise, and that farm
life Is round OF drudgery.
The ideas will be found to differ a.
widely In the minds Of the young people,
who have had no experience to influence
their minds either way. II Is probably
q fact, however, that under the present
tendencies aud customs Of society there
are more young people on the farm who
are looking for some other situation than
there are In other occupations looking
toward the farms, though there are
many who have seen the farm In It's sum-
mer dress when they were enjoying =
few weeks escape from the noise and
dust OF city life, who think \ permanent
country residence would bring hsppi-
ness unmixed.
We are all victims Of habit in thought
as ~ell as In action, and whether posi-
ton or an occupation is attractive or not
depends on the circumstances OF our nrst
introduction to II and on the feature OF
the surroundings to which our attention
has been most largely called. To make
any business attractive there must be an
interest in Il and love for IL beyond the
mere killing OF time and procuring the
necesssries Of existence. There must be
q looking forward to the results OF labor
beside the pecuniary returns; an enjoy
ment Ia the endesvor to accomplish q
thing and in learning to take advantage
of surrounding forces and conditions.
And all this again depends on habit. II
= person gets the habit OF doing what
must be done for that reason and no
other, and going elsewhere for pleasure,
the business, whatever II may be, soon
becomes unsttrsctive and tiresome. But
IL the person on the farm gets In the
habit Of finding his pleasure In studying
the methods aud forces which he em-
ploys and In making everything under
his care comfortable and contented, and
can realize that In so doing he Is per-
forming noble work, and that his home
is the central point where he can enjoy
the fruits Of his labors and study the ex-
periences OF others, he can make farm
life Attractive.--0. II. Leavitt, In Weekly

All Foreigners and FiIipinos
Started Fires.

Were any confirmation needed that the
Aguinaldo party intended the massacre
of all non Filipinos in Manila and to burn
the city itself, it has been supplied by
Gen. Thomas NJ. Anderson (retired). He
was in command of the troops at that
critical time in Manila, and in regard to
the wild statements OF Senators Petit
grew and Allen he says in a signed com
munication
"Sir-In the report Of Senator Spoon
er's speech in relation to the suppression
Of the Philippine instruction, it appears
that Senator Pettigrew denied that Theo-
dore Sandico issued n proclamation or
derng the determination Of all inhabit-
ants of Manila-men, women and chill
dren-except Filipino families. i was
then in command of the district south Of
the Pasig river, and found the proclama-
ton posted in conspicuous places in my
part of the city. | had them torn down
and one translated. They were signed
by Sandico.
II had received letters from him and
knew his signature Moreover, soldiers
of my command arrested two Filipino
men in women's clothes setting fire to the
houses in the city. They were brought
to me and had them turned over to the
provost marshal general.
Senator Allen also asserted that Senior
Torres came into the city under flag Of
truce to ask for suspension Of HOSTILE
ties. AS know that Torres was within
our lines when the fighting began 1t is not
apparent how he came in, when 1t seems
almost impossible for him to have gotten
out. On the 9TH OF February white flags
were hung out from every Filipino house
in Manila, and the few Filipinos who
ventured into the streets carried little
white flags as an evidence of submission.
Senator Aliens reliable informant seems
to have forgotten to mention this circum-
stance in saying that he saw Torres going
to headquarters under flag of truce.
Torres naturally inferred, without con-
sultation, that Aguinaldo would like a
suspension of hostlities, for in front O.;
our first division alone the insurgents had
lost in one day 700 killed and drowned,
400 prisoners and seven cannon
ct send this communication to correct,
so far as my testimony is relevant, very
erroneous impression.
