may he TO the old ruts Of impotence, pre-
tense and collapse" writes Rudyard Kip

This pungent sentence voices the National
feeling that has prevailed this week with
out regard to party politics. Very much on
these lines all the weeklies regardless Of

The Spectator, although among the most
cautious of the governments supporters,
comes out boldly not only with a declara

demand that Lord Kitchener be recalled.

A nes for Mafrimnnv.

Between Is and 10 only one girl out
of seventy-three marries. Marriages
used to be much earlier. In the old
novels 10 yaS about the extreme limit
of age for heroine and II was per-
haps the most popular.
Between 20 and "a one girl out of
thirteen marries, but the most-marry-
ing age for spinsters Zone in eight is
between % and 20, after they have
''coiffed st. Catherine" After % young
ladies were called ''thornbacks" by the
much-marrying puritans of New En-
gland, who preferred widows.
Widows throughout life have a great
err chance of remarrying than girls
have of marrying. The elder Mr.. Weller
has prophesied in vain. "a little widow
is dangerous thing" probably be-
cause it is easier to glide into conf
dences with a lady who has known
afliiction. Widows from 20 to 81 are
especially noted for what, from the
point of view of girls, is mere poach-
ing.
A widOwer remarries more frequent
" than bachelors marry. A widower
thinks he knows the worst and mar
ries again at large. Appetite grows
with eating" as Bluebeard may have
remarked. A widower from % to 81
belongs to the most-marrying group in
existence, except. perhaps, tutors OF
colleges.-New York World.

are only few of the items which the
Philippine commission has sent to the
Secretary of War as relates to offices
and salaries in the Philippine civil SER
vice:
The secretary to the Philippine COM
mission is to receive $500, treasurer
of the archipelago $4,000, his chief
clerk S2,250, auditor $4,000. deputy au-
ditor $4,000, collector of customs $4,000,
deputy collector and captain of the
port $4,000, custom house cashier 49,
900, collector of internal revenue S4,-
600. deputy collector $4,000, director
general of posts $1,000, his chief clerk
50. 800, postmaster of Manila $500, his
assistant $3.50. Philippine civil ser
vice board $500 each, general super
intendent of public instruction $4,000,
collector of customs ut Iloilo $500, at
Cebu $4,000, at Jolo Zamboanga and
Sissai $1,000 each, chief of the bureau
of statistics $500.
The office of military governor is
provided with forty-six clerks, one pri-
vate secretary and one law clerk; the
Philippine commission with a private
secretary for each member, an assist
ant secretary to the commission, one
recorder and twelve clerks and one in
terpreter; the treasurer with four
clerks; auditor, thirty-two clerks; col
lector of customs, seven chiefs of di-
vision, two clerks, 100 inspectors and
203 employees; the collector of internal
revenue with seven inspectors, seven
teen employees and twelve clerks; de-
partment of posts, one chief clerk, dis
bursting officers, postoffice inspector,
four clerks and one coachman. In the
Manila postoffice fifty-one clerks and
ten drivers.
In 500, the best of all years, the total
market values of the imports and ex-
ports of the Philippines were only
about $30000,O00 in gold, in which an
estimated 10 per cent profit for traders
gives only $3,000,000. This is just
about one-half the annual interest
charge upon the expenditures, thus far
incurred in the Philippine war. TAX
ing salaries, interest on the war debt
and other expenses and considering the
small profit that he derives from the
islands, it is difficult to see wherein
the average individual is going to be
the better off for American control or
the islands.-Des Moines Leader.

Among many savage tribes the sense

periments that negroes and Indians can
distinguish persons in the dark by their

that certain natives who habitually alb

of smell which is so eXQuisitely deli
