Dcwey's WAY and McKinIey's.

"The Filipinos are capable of
governing themselves"
al have never been in favor OF
violence toward the PHILIPPINES"
"The islands are at this moment
blockaded by fleet and war reigns in
the interior. This abnormal state OF
things shonld cease"
"The only way to settle the insur.
rection and assure prosperity to the
archipelago is to consede self-govern-
ment to the inhabitants"
These are the crucial sentences from
Admiral Dewey's interview with a
correspondent of the London News'
Every sentiment in that interview is
in accord with Admiral Dewey's Of
iicial reports and in harmony with
his conduct in leaving Manila after
Mckinley had committed himself to
a war OF conquest, although he had
said he would not leave under any
circumstances until tranquility was
restored. The authenticity and &C.
curacy of the interview is established
beyond reasonable doubt.
But Admiral Dewey is mistaken.
The way of justice and honor, freedom
and peace, the Dewey way, the Ameri-
can way, is not the only way"
There is another way-the way OF
bloodshed and hate, the way OF con-
quest and extermination-the Nc
Kinley WAY.

Obelisk Must Be Removed.

Twenty years ago an obelisk was
placed in Central Park, New York. 1t
is relic OF Thotmer III, and Rameses
H., and in its native Egypt had been
preserved 5000 years. During the
score of years in New York it has suf-
fered more disintegration than during
the 5000 years previous, and ut pres
ent the world deplores the fact that it
is rapidly crumbling to atoms. There
is not a building in the great me.
tropolis that offers sufficient accom-.
modations to the gift of the Khedive
of Egypt to America. A glass case
built over it would not preserve it, but
lately it has been suggested that it
be placed in the east wing OF the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, now in
process of construction. This is the
only solution OF the problem as to how
this wonderful relic may be preserved
to posterity. William II. Vanderbilt
spent 100000 in getting this granite
block to the new world. At the pres
ent time New York is greatly bestir-
ring herself in the interest OF the per-
petuation OF this great gift.

They Worked Il" Just the Same.

The door of the saloon opened and
two men pushed in q tall, bulky ar.
rangement covered with canvas.
alt doesn't look like coffin little
bit," said one OF the steady company,
cor I'd think had 'em again."
The two men pushed the thing up
beside one of those automatic nickle-
in-the-s.ot banios that make life
melodious nowadays. The patrons Of
the place kept running fire of COM
ment, but the men made no reply.
Finally they took off the canvas, and,
behold! it was another banjo, exactly
like the other.
whats the matter with the old
man?" asked the barkeeper. "Worn
out?'
NO." said one of the men, "but
some of the loafers that hang out
here have been feeding the old ma
chine iron washers. And it don't 60
no more, see?"
Is that so?" said the barkeeper,
with ready sympathy. "That amt
right"
"Well, iron washers are no good
with this machine" said the man.
I" It's got magnet in it that just
clamps on to everything but nickels."
Here the man took from his pocket a
piece of iron just the size and thick
ness of a nickel and held it up.
Here's one of the washers some OF
your customers palmed off on the un-
suspectin' old machine. Just watch
it" He dropped it into the slot, but
never move did the claws of the
banjo make. Then he put a nickel in
the slot and the machine began to
grind out rag-time waltz. Where
upon the man grinned superior and
covered up the old one, and he and
his companion pushed it out of the
door.
Let this be a warning to you gen.
tlemen," said the barkeeper, "that
there amt any good in ringin' cold
deck in on anybody, not even a slot
machine. Gustave, git the wire and
we'll hit her up bit."
Thereupon one of the walters pro-
duced from its hiding place long,
thin, straight wire and stuck it in the
slot. And the new machine that was
proof against iron washers struck up
with great gusto, "Oh, / Don't Know /;

A Kentucky Comedy of Errors.

This is a story of a young girl who
was much admired and courted by a
young man, who one day kissed her
against her will. 1t made her furious,
and she Indignantly exclaimed: "If
you dare kiss me again, III tell my
fatherW
Sine meant it, but he took it for the
usual femme bluff of such occasions
and repeated the dose on the spot.
She ran out of the room to the back
porch where her father had just fin
ished oiling his gun.
BY the time she arrived there she
found out she wasn't as mad as she
thought she was, and Matching up an
excuse for her sudden appearance
said: Papa. go in and show Mr..
Blank your gun. He is good au-
thority on birds and guns!" al will"
said the father, who is an enthusiastic
sportsman, and he made for the parlor,
gun in hand.
When her father entered the parlor
that young man didn't even wait to
say goodbye; nor was he particular
about the manner or place of exit.
He broke through the window and
struck speed he thought would dis.
tance the gun as we'll as the old man.
1t was with difficulty the father
cornered him few days later, and ex-
planned; then it was q month later
before the girl could persuade him she
had not intended a practical joke.
But he is modified now, and goes to see
her, and, maybe, repeats the microbe
doses, but she don't "tell papa" any
more.

What to Train About Windows

Do not plant grape vine, honey
suckle, or climbing rose to frame
about window; use instead for this
purpose morning-glory, cypress, ma
deira, cinnamon or other annual vines,
which, when killed by frost, may be
pulled down and no bare, unsightly
branches left across the panes to OBJ
struct the view.
In the long ago planted the white
evergreen honeysuckle at each corner
of the house, and had them framed
and trained over the windows. The
long branches would reach in the
room, and nod and sway with every
breeze, and the fragrance of the
blooms was delicious; but sometimes
at night | would find that creeping
things had made their way into the
rooms, and would be discovered run
ming over the hoor-spiders of all
sizes, bugs, worms, earwigs.
l was in despair until l discovered
them dropping off those long branches
of honeysuckle after the lamps were
lighted at night. These vines had
been growing for years and were beau
tiful, but were forthwith cut down,
root and branch, and | have not been
troubled since.

Forced Education,

"DO American men and women real
ize that in five cities of our country
alone there were during the last school
term over sixteen thousand children
between the ages of eight and four
teen taken out of the public schools
because their nervous systems were
incapable of going on any further in
the internal examining system which
exists today in our schools" inquiries
Edward Box in the January Ladies
Home Journal. "And these sixteen
thousand helpless little wrecks" he
continues, care simply the children
we know about. Conservative medical
men who have given their lives to the
study of children place the number
whose health is shattered by overstudy
at more than fifty thousand each year.
1t is putting the truth mildly to state
that, of all American institutions,
that which deals with the public edu-
cation of our children is at once the
most faulty, the most unintelligent
and the most cruel"

Honest Simplicity.

Lillian Russell, who is rather care
less with jewelry in the theater, left
very valuable diamond ornament in
her dressing room one night during
the run OF "Erminie" at the Casino.
She did not miss the article until the
next morning, when she started out
for drive, going TO the Casino first.
The woman who had charge of Miss
Russell's dress-room had finished her
work and had gone away. Miss Rus.
sell FASTENED to the dressing room,
looked on the table, but could not find
the jewel. Then she turned to the
looking glass naturally to see if her
hat was on straight, when the follow
ing announcement met her eyes, writ
ten on a piece of yellow paper, and
stuck in the corner Of the glass:
"Miss Russell: | found yonr jewel
when l cleened up. hid it in the
tow of your wife satan shoe and hid
the shoe in the bottom draw of the
buro were you can find it."
AS several other persons had access
to the dressing room, nothing but a
sense of honesty prevented some one
else than the owner from finding the
jewel ain the tow of the satan shoe in
the bottom draw of the buro." But
Mary's good intentions were remem-
bered in a most liberal manner by
Miss Russell.
That puts us in mind of the pro-
testation of Capt. Crosby, of Tum-
water, when his store safe was robbed.
1t was an old.fashioned affair, locked
with An immense key. The captain
said he could not account for the sue
cess of the burglar, for he distinctly
remembered that he had locked the
safe and hung the key in its accus-
toned place, II nail in the wall just
above the stronghold for his valuables.

Resting the Muscles.
Pltlsburg Dispatch.

When a man is tired he stretches
his arms and legs and yawns. Birds
and animals, so far as possible, follow
his example.
Birds spread their feathers and also
yawn or cape. Fowls often do this
Fish yawn; they open their mouths
slowly until they are round, the bones
of the head seem to loosen and the
gills open.
Dogs are inveterate yawners and
stretchers, but seldom sneeze unless
they have cold Cats are always
stretching their bodies, legs and claws,
as everyone knows who has had cat
for pet.
Horses stretch violently when and
after indulging in roll, but not, as a
rule, on all fours.
a stag when stretching sticks out
his head, stretches his forefeet out,
and hollows his back and neck As
though trying to creep under bar.
Most ruminant animals stretch
when they rise up after lying down.
Deer do it regularly, so do cows. This
fact is so well known that if COW
when arising from lying down does
not stretch herself it is a sign she is
ill.
The reason for this is plain-the
stretch moves every muscle of the
body, and if their be any injury any.

Derivation of the Word SUNDAY.

The word Sabbath" is a Hebrew
term for a period as we'll as quality OF
time, and means "rest," says Mary +.
NJ. Richardson. In the Bible it is
used only with this meaning. Periods
of one year or of seven years were
thus characterized. Every seventh
day was observed by the Hebrews rs a
weekly Sabbath. In addition to this
day others were appointed in which
the obligation to cease from labor was
as binding as the observance of the
weekly Sabbath. Sunday is so named
from the day which was dedicated to
The worship of the sun. Christian ma
tiOns observe it as their Sabbath; but
Sabbath is not Sunday.

Pipe Valued at SdOO. 900.

Of kings, the present ruler of Persia,
owns the worlds costliest pipe. 1t is
the " kallian," or State pipe, and is
used on special occasions. 1t is val.
ued at 100000, and is ornamented
with diamonds, rubies and smaragdites.
The long, snakelike stem and the
bowl are of pure gold.
The Sultan of Turkey also possesses
pipes of great value. In 1862, when
the Prince of Wales was on a visit to
Turkey, he was invited by the Sultan
to smoke II narghila, an oriental pipe,
i'll which the smoke passes through
water. The pipe was studded with
diamonds and was worth $4,000. 1t
was given to the Prince as u momcnto
OF his visit to Constantinoplc. Another
pipe, made entirely of meerschaum and
amber and belonging to Prince Ferdi-
nand of Bavaria, is reported as costing
$4,000.

ROLIvIA'S QUININE GROVES.
interesting Account of Production o! Pop
ular Drug.

Chicago Record.
The quinine plantations, or qui
males, as they are called, which have
been started in this country by the
Germans, are usually found on rough
and broken mountain sides and and at
attitudes of 5000 or 1000 feet above
the sea. The trees will grow at an ell
ovation of 5000 feet, but they flourish
best at about 1900, for they require n
great deal of sun, rain and wind to
reach perfection.
Most of the groves have been raised
from the seed, which is gathered in
the early summer months and planted
in hothouses. When the plants are
about six inches high they are trans
planted upon the hillsides, which
have been cleared of underbrush and
plowed up beforehand, SO that the
young roots can secure the benefit OF
all the moisture and plant food in the
soil and the heat of the sun. For
shelter they are partially covered with
twigs, straw or other light stuff, which
also serves to keep the moisture and
heat in the ground. After about two
years this shelter is raked off, the
plants are carefully inspected and
those which are not promising are re-
placed by new ones. The ground
around them is kept clear of weeds
and the young trees are carefully
trimmed twice a year. In five or six
years the tree will have reached a
height of twelve or fourteen feet, and
its trunk will be straight and slender,
with diameter OF about six inches.
1t resembles the orange tree in size
and shape and the peculiar gloss Of its
leaves.
Two or three times year, three or
four strips of bark about two inches
wide and from two to eight feet long
are cut from the trunk and thrown
upon paved yard to dry, where, as
the moisture evaporates, they curl up
like cinnamon. Within a year or so
nature replaces the bark that has thus
been stripped off and the tree is
stripped again in other places. AS it
grows older smaller strips can be
taken from the stronger branches,
and mature tree will produce an an
nual average of about four pounds of
bark.
The bark dries in few days and is
packed for shipment in rawhide bales.
The most of it is shipped from Africa
and Molendo.

Wlln ITtSU water, anu tll~t siic pito
the cereal where it will cook. Then
take her into the dining-room and
show her how you wish the table to he
arranged; also tell her about the fruit
and where to place the iruitl latcS,
and the tingerbowlS, ii you use them.
Where only one maid is kept it is
much easier and far better to make
the coffee at the table. This should
he arranged for at the same time.
Teach her when she has taken the de-
sired quantity of oatmeal from the
package to return the package to its
place Immediately. If you intend to
have eggs let her bring up just the
number wanted; and if butter and
cream are kept in the cellar teach her
that one trip will be sufficient to bring
up everything il she carries a tray.
After the coffee is measured see that
she covers the canister and puts it
away, and wipes OIL the tablespoon or
cup which she has used and puts it
back into the table drawer or closet.
When she turns the oatmeal into the
serving-dish instruct her to fill the
saucepan with water, SO that it may be
easily washed. Then when breakfas
is served the kitchen will be in order.
After everything is on the table,
and the fruit and oatmeal have been
taken away, allow her to get her own
breakfast. Directly afterward let her
wash all the pots and kettles which
she has used. If they are allowed to
stand, twice as much time will be re-
quired to clean them. To aid in the
quick cleaning of omelet and oatmeal
pans use twig brush or wire dish
cloth.
When her services being no longer
needed in the dining-room, allow her
to get her own dinner quietly in the
kitchen. A full half hour should be
allowed her for this. Do not hurry
any one at meal time.
When you think she has quite fin
ished eating, so to the kitchen and
show her how to put the food away.
Transfer everything from the serving
plates to those for refrigerator use.
Insist npon having the plates careful
ly scraped and piled as soon as they
reach the kitchen, and that all the
garbage be burned or put into the gar
bage bucket. If garbage is allowed to
remain five minutes during the sum-
mer it will draw flies.
Let her repeat the second week the
menus which you have taught her to
prepare the first. In this way good
results are obtained. Be patient. Do
not expect too much, and never forget
to give deserved praise. Preface each
request with "if you please" and do
not forget the thank you." Polite
ness begets politeness; kindness, kind
ness; and if they do not in your house
bad selection of character has been
made. When giving an order you
need not say, "Jane, please sweep the
dining-room." That is her regular
work and she should do it without the
asking. But if she must stop during
the sweeping and run upstairs to
bring something that you have forgot
ten, ask it as favor and acknowledge
it as such. In the relation of mistress
and maid the mistress must be the
leader. She must cease bewailing the
difficulties of the relationship and be-
gin at once to conquer them. Pay
good wages and demand in return
good service.

Mckinlsy's huge Corruption Fund.
Irish World.


One good turn deserves another. A
syndicate OF bankers helped Hanna to
place Mckinley in the White House
and now this beneficiary OF the money
lenders places at their disposal mil
lions of the peoples money which
they loan at a good stiff interest al
though they themselves do not pay Il
cent OF interest for its use. BY Il
stroke OF his pen McKinley's Secretary
of the Treasury has diverted IL golden
stream into the vaults of the National
City Bank OF New York, o. which
Rockefeller, head OF the Standard Oil,
Havemeyer, OF the Sugar trust, Pier
pont Morgan and the representatives
Of the Vanderbilt and Union Pacific
interests are directors. BY order Of
Secretary Gage the daily receipts of
the internal revenue are to be placed
on deposit with the National City
Bank. When it is stated that these
receipts average million dollars
every working day or two hundred
and fifty million dollars u year, we
can estimate the. favor VIM. Mckinley
has conferred upon his political crea-
tors.
The money kings, who have control
of these enormous sums without the
payment of a cent, can loan these
millions in Wall street at rates of
interest varying from 6 per cent. to
100 per cent.
Who shall say that William Nc
kinley is wanting in gratitude to the
Shylocks who have placed him in the
White House? Gratitude has been
defined as :" n lively sense of favors to
come" The present occupant of the
White House has evidently a lively
sense of the favors the Rockefellers,
the Havemeyers, the Morgans and the
Vanderbilts can render him next year
by liberal contributions to the Repub-
lican campaign expenses. Hence the
eagerness he displays to place the
peoples money at the disposal of these
millionaires.
How we are forced to contribute in
directly to this corruption fund is
thus set forth by the New York
World:
"The law forbids the Secretary of
the Treasury to use the customs re-
ceipts of the United States to enrich
persons and interests friendly to the
Administration. But it leaves him
free to be benevolent and appreciative
with the internal revenue receipts.
Therefore you are contributing to the
wealth and the happiness of the Nc
Kinley-Hanna syndicate's pet bond
syndicators and railway kings and
trust barons whenever you draw a
check, or smoke cigar or cigarette
or sleep i'll Pullman car, or send a
telegram, or give n promissory note, or
send package by express, or drink a
glass of beer"
In this way the taxes, which were
imposed for the purpose of defraying
the expenses of war ended over II
year ago, are made to swell the enor-
nous fortunes of multi-millionaires
who in turn will devote percentage
of the tribute wrung from the people
to the reelection of their tool in the
White House. Rockefeller, Morgan,
Havemeyer & Co. have taken the
measure of Mckinley and can be
counted upon to work zealously in his
behalf for the next eleven months.
