the extract We have quoted. It is a safe
g assertion that no country ever sent to new
possession as its governing force an abler
body Of men than President Mckinley sent
to the Philippines in the Taft Commission
They were all picked men, with the very
ablest OF the group at their head. II the
country had been secured from end TO end
for the man best fitted by natural ability,
trained experience and personal character
for the work of starting the FllipinoS in
the way of civilization, teaching them the
tirst steps in self government, Judge TAFT
would have been the man agreed upon by
unanimous consent of all impartial auhori.

Long Quarrel Adjusted.

There has been an arrangement be tween the governments of Austria and Mexico, dating back to the time when the Austrian Archducke Maximilian was executed in 1867 by the republican government, after the failure of. the attempt to make him emperor of Mex ico. During this long periodthere has been complete suspension of inter course between the two governments, but recent overtures to end the es- engagement have succeeded. The Mex ican congress has passed bill reciting the fact of a reconciliation, and provid- ing for a minister to Austria; and Aus tria will take similar action.-Youth's Companion.

SELDOM SAVE A DOLLAR.
Most Women Wage Banners spend Nearly All They Earn on
 Their Dress.

No matter how large a salary yyomaniearns as tyPewriter amanuen- sis or private secretary, she is sell dom able to command dollar three days after payday. They are always in financial straits, and nine times out of ten their salaries are mort the Chicago Chronicle. A few-a very few-manage to have their lives in sured for small amounts and pro- portion are sufficiently practical to join societies that pay sick benefits, but that is all. The remainder of their earnings is spent for pretty frocks and parasols and falfals, for matinees and summer trips.
 To be sure, women do not make large amounts generally. There are few who draw a weekly stipend of even s25, but whatever they earn they spend One young woman who aal-. ways resolves that the next time her. salary is raised she will put the ex- tra amount in the bank each Satur- day finds invariably when the addi- tion to her wage comes that her ex- penses increase in proportion and the whole is spent before she knows it.
 Another young woman known to the writer who is paid S35 week for her labor spends every cent of it, while her brother, who receives but $25, saves five dollars each week and has made tidy little sum by in vestments. The sister excuses her self by declaring that women'si clothes cost far more than mems and that, while her relative can dress we'll on $50O5a year, she can barely maintain a good appearance on the $500 she sets apart for tailor, dinner and evening froclss.
 The remainder of her income goes in board, laundry bills, the small en- tertainments she gives and her an- nual trip to6 the seashore for months rest.
 Tn contrast to this case is that of young woman who was endeavoring to live on SIS a week, but whose eff forts were frustrated by the good of fees of an elderly friend who swept down upon this unprotected female every Saturday and wrested from her willfully three dollars. This the elderly friend put in a bank in her own name, so that the girl couldn't draw it out when she saw love of a boa. It drew interest at three and one-half per cent. Then when year later the young woman had an ex cellent position offered her in Chica- go she found to her amazement that her 1ong-headed friend had some thing like $16o to give her for the ex- penses of the trip.
 .1 This sounds like dream or fairy tale, but it is perfectly true, and it only proves that each working wom- an'' would be better off if she had some one to sweep down upon her and rob her temporarily of her hard earned lucre. Left alone, the chances are she won't have a cent.

 The secretary bird at the London zoo has been cinematographed while in the act of seizing, killing and car rying off rat.
 The street car system in Manila is inadequate, and it is the practice to hire cabs whenever one desires to go any distance in the city.
 London, to all appearances, was never more prosperous than now. cert rooms are crowded. Every ho- tel is full of visitors. Municipal music has become such an important matter with the Lon don county council that a musical di- rector has been appointed at a good salary to take charge of the depart ment.
 The present population of Athens, in Greece, is only So,0oo. There is no accurateSc of the city when in it's ancient glory, but it is supposed at one time to have contained 5O0,- 900 inha abitants.
 Dr. A. P. Grinnell, of Burlington, has been astonished by his investiga- tions as to the use of narcotics in Vermont. He says that in the regu- lar drug stores and in 160 of the 172 general stores in the state of Yer mont there is sold every month 3,3oo,000 doses of opium, besides what is dispensed in patent medicines, and besides what the doctors dispense, which gives one and one-half doses of opium to every man and woman in the state above the age of 21 years every day of the year.

Center School Graduation Held in the
 Town Hall Last Night.

Exercises of the fifth graduating class of the Center school were held at the town hall last evening before an audience which filled the hall to the doors. The stage was tastefully deco rated with palms, potted plants and cut flowers. The class emblem, which was suspended from the front of the stage with the class motto, was very pretty decoration. A chair draped in black, with cut flowers, in memory of James Currie, who died in December last, was one of the prominent fea- lures. The class colors, Yale blue and gold, were greatly in evidence every where, as were also the school colors, orange and white. The diplomas were presented by Paul Klimpke of Taft's school, who in a neat little speech gave the graduates some very excellent ad- vice. After the exercises the class, with their friends, adjourned to the court room, where reception was given them by the alumnae, after which ice cream, cake and lemonade were served The following are the graduates: J. B. McGowan, Mary Burton, Bertha Bothwick, Harold Rob-. ertS, F. H. Mattoon, Alice Nj. Skilton, Pearl Skilton and Jennie Trewen.
 A surveyor has been at work on the road from Greenyille to the residence of Thomas Frey during the past few days endeavoring to straighten out the boundary line. Though the width of the road was sixty-siX feet, owing to the extreme difficulties encountered the bounds will be placed at sixty feet.

Retgntng Fami1Ies, poor Reln

None of the reigning families of Europe are peculiarly graceful horse men, with the possible exception of the emperor of Austria. Emperor William and the duke of Connaught have been singularly unlucky in the matter of bad falls. The late czar was particu- Iarly unskilled horseman, and it is said that some uncomplimentary remarks of the German emperor on his riding which were repeated to him were the primary cause of the coolness which existed between the German and Rus sian courts in 1890. In this respect the present czar resembles his father.- N. Y. Sun.

Make nig stri1se of Cold.

s. A. Singlehurst has reached Van- couver from Omineca, B. C., with news that rich strikes just made in mining properties owned by Howard Gould and associates, of New York, will make their mine one of the richest in British Columbia. Singlehurst hurried out 200 miles to telegraph the news to his principals. He thinks Ptarmigan will become second Comstock. At the t5O-foot level the miners cross cut the vein and found it to be ten feet vice. Samples taken clear across the face of the vein average 500 ounces of sill Yer, four per cent. copper and two ounces of gold. The ore can be readily moved to tidewater by wagon
