to Reinsfate Latter Meet
With AntaEOnism.

MANILA July 10.-The Roman Catholic
authorities in Manila say they have no
intention of Withdrawing the friars from
the Philippine Islands, and reiterate their
belief that the friars will be welcomed by
the masses of the Filipino people as their
spiritual advisers when the people are
thoroughly assured the friars will no longer
exercise temporal authority.
The clerics bitterly charge the leaders
of the federal party. themselves Catholics.
with melting the people against the clergy.
They also say they would be willing to
substitute American for Spanish friars. ex-
cept for difficulties arising from the Amer
leans ignorance 6 Spanish and the native
dialects. The warm and antagonistic Ie-
ceptions given the friars by the people in
the provinces is retarding the experiment
of reinstating them.

Senatorial ReDartee,

Once in the senate chamber John j.
ingalls, was directing some remarks. to
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. The
other senator from that Stute. Mr..
Dawes, having come in while Mr.. In
gals was speaking. thought HE words
were meant for his ear, and so, inter
rupting, he asked Ingalls, if he was di-
recting the remarks at him. The tall
senator turned slowly around, for Mr..
Dawes sat behind him. and then. with
delicious intonation, but an instant
wit he said. Il was directing my re-
marks to the successor of Charles sum
ner and not to the successor Of Daniel
Webster"
The repartee has become traditional,
and the utterance was at once placed
alongside of that reply Of Conkling
to Senator Thurman, which is also ira
ditonal in the senate chamber.
Conkling was speaking, and Thur
man had said. interrupting him, docs
the senator aim his remarks at me;
he constantly turns to meT when
Mr.. Conkling. with delicious gravity,
bowling to Thurman, with whom he
was very friendly, said: when ! turn
to the senator. l turn as the Mussul-
man turns to Mecca; turn as would
turn to the common law of England

risprudence."

"Spellbfuders'" Ways.

"Spellbinding' is the happy name
given to the platform speaking which
plays such an important part in every
campaign. The national chairman de-
termines who shall be the stars in this
department. An ex-president Is most
In demand, a speaker or an ex-speaker
comes next as a rule, and senator's and
representatives are invited to speak in
the order of their usefulness. One
speech by an eX-president Is worth half
dozen efforts by other melt, though
they may be more logical and eloquent.
The candidate himself, when an ora
tor, will draw greater crowds than any
body else, but if he Is wise he will let
the national committee arrange his itin-
erary and schedule. Headquarters are
always overrun with volunteers for the
stump; the star, or man with repu-
tation, waits to be invited or urged.
Most of the lesser men are labOrers for
hire. but others are ambitious to make
a reputation as stepping stone to po-
litical office, and some are intensely in
earnest and eager to be useful to their
party.
The national committee settles for
the expenses Of spellbinders, unless
they Insist on paying their own way,
which Is unusual. Some Of the great
orators receive handsome sums for
their services and travel in state

The practice of reading aloud at reg
ular intervals is of great benefit to any
one affected with a chest complaint.
In all cases of lung trouble it is impor-
tant to indulge in those exercises by
which the chest Is in part filled or emp
tied of air. and reading aloud, singing
and whstling are three Of those exer-
cises.
There are many who cannot sing.
and we do not expect the fair sex to
whistle, but reading aloud can be prac-
ticed by all. Care must be taken not
to overdo 1t, of course, and the body
should be in such position as to allow
the chest to have free play.
Reading aloud, if we pay attention
to what we are doing, will not only
be beneficial from the standpoint Of
health. but will also have the effect of
making us better speakers by teaching
us proper modulations of the voice and
by increasing our knowledge.
This is where it has the advantage
over whistling and singing.

FRIGHTENED HIS WIFE.

Forty Cents Almost the Cause of
Catastrophe.
Before Mrs. Bromley was married
she scotfed at the misguided girls and
women who kept personal accounts.
Her argument was that II you know
how much money you had and 1t was
all gone what was the use Of piling on
the anguish by having your folly and
extravaganza in black and white to
stare you In the face. especially As you
had No more money at the end Of the
month than you had without an &C.
count book?
But since she has been running
house she has achieved not one but
nearly q dozen account books. There
is one devoted to the grocery man, an
other to the butcher, personal accounts
take a third. and so on till she spends
nearly all her glad Young life balanc-
ing sums. 1t is a matter # pride with
her that they shall come ont even. and
so there was woe last month when 40
cents refused to be accounted for. She
and Mr.. crowley had a grave and
lengthy discussion over the missing 40
Each accused the other of frivoling the
sum away and neglecting to enter it on
the proper book, "Sundries." Mr.
crowley insisted strenuously he was
not guilty. Mrs. Bromley looked pain
ell and urged him to confess. He left
for down town vowing vengeance. 1t
was late that afternoon when Mrs.
Bromley was entertaining roomful of
arjstocratic callers that telegraph boy
appeared. The maid brought in the
fatal yellow envelope, and at once the
bride knew her husband had been ia
tally injured and was sending for her.
Some one revived her with smelling
salts, lady in purple velvet famed
her with hastily snatched lamp
shade. and a third visitor with more
presence of mind than the rest opened
the telegram. The message read:
