Medical Examination of Conscripts.

Owing to the prevalence of consump-
ton in the French army, strict instruc-
tions relative to the medical examina-
tions of conscripts are about to be is
sued by the war minister, Gen. Andre
1t has been discovered that many
young fellows, bearing in them the
seeds of tuberculosis have been hastily
passed for service in regiments by
medical officers who were evidently
either anxious to get through their work
as quickly as possible, or periodically
eager to increase tahe army at all haz-
ards. In the circular, addressed to the
principal medical officers, it is stated
that the parliamentary health commits
sion has been justly preoccupied about
the ravages made in France by con-
sumption After the returns have been
received measures will be taken for
the purpose of eliminating consump-
tive men from active service, wherein
they are liable to cOntaminate their
healthier and more robust comrades.
By these means it is expected that in
time the terrible malady of consump-
ton will be, if not stamped out, at
least localized and restricted in its
baneful influence Chicago Journal.

Sectional Preference for Hotels.

A lawyer who was looking for q
western man in the Broadway hotels
on Monday night was advised by the
clerk in one of them to go to a certain

the lawyer Merely because most of
the people with money from his part

GIRLS SOUL IN A PUPPY.
Singular Belief of California Woman
Recently Bereaved.

Recently Bereaved.
Mrs. NJ. Z. Halpr4ner of Alameda,
Cal, believes that the soul of her dead
daughter, Lillian May Halpruner,
dwells in the body Of little spitz dog
she possesses.
I treat the dog as l would my own
child" says the mother with confident
affection, and she gives reasons for her
faith. A year ago, on her daughters
birthday, she had been told a snow
white spitZ pup was to be given her
by neighbor The white puppy ran
away from Mrs. Halprunner. In its
stead darted out and nestled to her
golden haired puppy. At once l saw
my daughters gestures duplicated by
the dog, and, believer in reincarnation
that l am, l knew Lillian's soul had
come back to be near me. The soul Of
my daughter had entered the body of
my golden spitz dog, Earl of Glen
COVER, and l treat him as l would my
child" At night this dog sleeps on a
slik-covered down pillow beside his
owners bed. HE puts his little paws
together for few minutes in prayer
just as Lillian did," declared Mrs. Hal
primer. Then he stretches his limbs
with just her motions, rolls his head
from side to side, and with a child's
happy sigh goes to sleep. Yes, know
that my darling's soul dwells in his
body."-St Louis Republic

Lack of POliteness in Our Intercourse
with Them Is Injurious.
Great injury is done not only to the
present happiness of children, but to
their future character and conduct by
lack of politeness in our intercourse
with them. Their possessions are
their own. How often do we forget
that? They are Ridiculous trif1es;
they are worthless and in our way, yet
we have no right to throw them out
and burn them without warming or
consultation. A sisters or an aunts
gentle persuasion will do much to gain
pleasant consent to yielding up the
treasures which cucumber too much
space or are laid down in improper
places. A box or basket provided to
hold these priceless sticks and stones
and once or twice little pleasant aid
in gathering them, and the collector
will be gained over to what he sees
will surely preserve his property and
at the same time the little fellow
will have learned respect for
other peoples property and the
proper way to ask leave to
touch and handle. While mothers are
busy with their often overwhelming
duties, it often happens that to an
elder sister much care of the children
who are able to amuse themselves is
given, and here she will have a de-
lightful chance to help them to ac-
quire the attractive manner which is
such a help in future life, and give
them practical demonstration of the
comfort and joy of a home governed
by courtesy to old and young alike

with the legality of the exaction of du-

Rico into New York after the passage
OF the Foraker act providing for duty
upon goods shipped from the United
States into Porto Rico, and also on
those shipped from Porto Rico to the

constitutional. The point of the two

By vote of five TO four the Supreme
Court of the United States Monday
handed down what is undoubtedly the
greatest decision ever made by that
tribunal.
l. The Constitution does not follow
the flag ex propria vigore-of its own
force.
2. The United States may enter upon
a colonial policy-has already entered
upon it-without violation of the Con-
stitution.
8. This nation has all the powers
that rightfully belong to a sovereign
international state and may acquire
territory without Incorporating such
territory as an integral part of itself
4. The simple act of acquisition by
treaty or otherwise does not automati-
cally bring about such Incorporation;
and incorporation is effected only by
the will of the states acting consciously
through Congress.

United States, but "a territory appur-

goods shipped between their ports and
the United States are entitled to the
same treatment as though they were
shipped between New York and New
Orleans.
By its various decisions the supreme
court is quite generally admitted to
have decided:
That (dicta obiter) congress would
not have authority to pass any law
abridging the rights Of the people Of
the new possessions to free speech,
freedom Of conscience In religious mat
tiers or any of the other immunities in
the bill Of rights.
That the constitutional limitations
apply to congress and that this feature
of the constitution goes to the new
possessions Of it's own vigor and with
out specific act of congress.
Opinion Is divided as to whether the
Spooner act, delegating to the presi-
dent authority to govern the Philip
pines, makes good this defect. WILL
lam E. Chandler and others hold that
this would be delegation of the legis-
lative function and that there is no
alternative between free trade at once
with the Philippines and an extra ses-
sion Of congress to pass Philippine
tariff.

Churches Cafcb 6rusf Craze.

Shudderers at trusts have nov new
cause to shudder. The evangelical
churches of Toledo propose to organ
ize a religious trust, to combine their
forces to fight in union against sin
and evil of all kinds. Those faithful
Bryanites who look upon the octopus
as the worst of sinners may well cry
out in pain. How can the devil fight
the devil? But association and COM
bination are the master words Of this
century. In borrowing a favorite
form of business for their work the
Toledo churches show a practical in
stinct which will do much more for
them than suffering sentimentalities.
Instead of sporadic individual efforts
they will have a common plan; and
the results show the wisdom OF it.

name of this parsonage was Mannanan-

see village where, report limited,
some valuable old books had been pre-
served. He adds: 1 got lost and
passed the night in small clearing
where a fat and handsome roam horse
was tied. On seeing me the animal
broke his picket rope, ran furiously
round me for or five times in circles,
and then advancing put his nostrilS
close to the nostrils of my horse and
seemed to talk to him. His owner, an
old Paraguayan, told me that the crea-
ture had been with him far into the
interior and for year had never seen
another horse. But" said he. God
has given every animal speech after its
kind, and he is glad to see your horse.
No doubt he is asking him the news"

The Talent of Persuasion.

is your talent that OF persuasion?
Make good use of it. We all have it
to some extent. yet none of us thinks
of it as a talent. But it is the
mightiest of talents: Do you know
that this one talent will fetch the
world back to God? Do you know it is
the mightiest talent of the high heav-
ems? Do you know that it is the one
talent chiefly employed by all the angels
OF God when they descend to our world
the talent of persuasion? Do you real
ize that the rough lumber lifted into
cross on the hill back of Jerusalem
was in persuasion as well as sacrifice?
That is the only, absolutely the only,
persuasion that will ever induce the
human race to stop it's march toward
the city OF destruction and wheel
around and start for the city of light.
Now may the Lord this moment show
each one of us that to a greater or
less extent we have that one talent of
percussion and impel us to the right
use OF it. You say you cannot preach
