The Co1onel,s Romance.

"Cctenel,'' said the romantic girl,
"tell me how you got that scar upon
your left cheek. Oh, l just know it
must be a thrilling story. Was it made
by bullet or a saber thrust? prefer
a saber thrust. 1t seems so much more
like the knighthood of old. You can't
see bullet coming, and there Is no
way to escape it or combat it, but when
your enemy rushes at you with his up
lifted saber there is the possibility Of
parrying his blow and cutting him
even if the victor in the fray does re-
ceive wound or two, than to just be
laid low or to lay the enemy low by
bullet that cannot be seen. There is
no bravery in shooting man. but
there is something knightly in meeting
another face to face with sword.
Your scar looks like one that was left
your enemy must at least have been
rendered hors de combat. Tell me all
about it. celonel-when it happened
and how. 7 am SO interested in war
stories."
Yes" he replied, 81 agree with you
fully about the sword and saber bust
ness There isn't much bravery in
shooting a fellow. and there is some
thing knightly about standing up and
thrusting and parryng with a blade.

Cut Their Sentences Short.

Many people in every walk of life,
and particularly travelling men, seem
to have a craze for abbreviation. On
almost every page of the hotel register
may be found some unique freak. of
abbreviation.
Two authorizations that have been
noticed are N o. and ~. o." Any
where but in the residence column of a
hotel register they would be very puz-
zling. OF course it is easy to under
stand that the 20" means Ohio, and as
there is but one town in that state that
begins with IL" GAINESVILLE, and but
one the name of which begins with
az" Nenia. it is easy to understand
the Authorizations, and they save lot
of time and ink.
"11worth'' is not so easy to under
stand perhaps, but when kansas" is
written after it is easier. Another
puzzlng abbreviation is 40" but
when it is chattanooga, 10,' it is not
hard to read. Columbus Is usually
written Coils" and Chicago ego.
The final Oh in the old fashioned way
of spelling Pittsburg. which has beer
almost entirely dropped elsewhere, is
usually used in the Authorization which
most Pittsbursers write ('.Pgh.'') nowo
days. Chicago Chronicle.

The soldier and HIS Heart.

Very few soldiers who have seen
much service escape what is called
battle heart.
The ordinary state of the heart in
healthy people is one of irritability,
but in the soldier of five or six years.
service the irritability is so great that
i constantly affects his temper.
The soldier wears such tight clothing
that his heart has not room to beat
freely, and the perpetual struggle to
do its work under difficulties Injuries
it. The soldiers trousers are tight at
the waist. His coat is buttoned as
tightly as possible and very often he
squeeZes himself with belt.
Then when on the march his chest
is compressed by the weight of his
knapsack, canteen, great coat and
heavy cartridge belt.
If you watch a company of soldiers
when they are doing long march.
you will observe that most of them
have flushed faces, red ears, red noses,
swollen Notwithstanding that the heart
is greatly oyertaXed. Some, on the
other hand, are pale, which proves that
their hearts are not equal to the work
thrown on them.
When, after very long march, the
men have to deploy into fighting order
and perhaps rush a hill, very large
number break down altogether. Thei1
overstrained hearts never become
really strong and healthy again.

"Whatevtr government IL estab-
lished in the island" says the commits
sion, should promptly provide for the
fulfllment of this reasonable and
praiseworthy desire by the establish
ment of an adequate system Of secular
izeu and free public schools"
During the years, or at least the
later part of these years, that Spain
held sovereignty over the Philippine is
lands the people were not entirely
without schools. One Of the more re-
cent regulations OF the government
provided that there should he one male
and one female primary schoOl-teach-
or employed for each 5000 of inhabit-
nnts. But even this meager provision
was never fully complied with, and the
best record that Spain can show is
total Of 1,9l4 teachers Of both sexes
for II population of 6, T00,sl0 for which
they attempted to provide educational
facilities. For this population, to com
ply with tho provision made by tho
government, there should have been
employed 2,6S4 teachers.
Nor was il the thinly settled or saw
age districts that were allowed to suf-
fer most from n lack OF educational
facilities. In the city Of Manila, with
u population Of $4,000 people, there
were employed but 10 male and IL fe-
male teachers in the free primary
schools, Malolos, for time the In.
snrgent capital, with population of
1880, had but one teacher of each sex.
Cebu, one 81 the three open ports Of the
islands, with a population of 35,2l3,

Spanish in this class of schools was of
the most superficial kind, and the in

impossible because of the utter lack of
either text books or maps and
charts. A carefully censored his
tory of Spain was taught orally in
nearly all schools. Agriculture and
vocal music were neglected entirely.
In the schools for girls in the place OF
geography, history and agriculture
