The Literary Digest publishes a
striking diagram illustrating the cost
of the war in the Philippines, in men
and money, to the United States; the
cost to the Filipinos in men, and the
value of the trade of the archipela go.
The data, taken from official reports,
covers the period between May, 1900
and June 30, 1901. IT is shown that
during that time 245 American soldiers
amounted to 1854 making the ratio
about l to 16. The American wounded
amounted to ago, and the Filipino
wounded to 1,193. The great disparity
between Filipino killed and wounded
has led to some severe charges Of
cruelty against the American troops by
an "anti-imperialist" league in New
York, as well as by certain members of
Congress. Ordinarily, it is claimed, the
number of wounded should be far
greater than the number of killed.
However that may be. there has GER
tainly been a sickenng lot of blood let
ting in the islands, not to mention the
suffering caused by disease and hard
ships on both sides.
AS to the financial side of the ques-
ton, the cost in money to the United
States during the period named was, in
round figures, $50, 900, 900. The total i'm
ports into the islands amounted to $780,
79,406, and the total exports to $685.
21494S. These figures include the whole
foreign commerce of the islands, of
every sort whatsoever. OF this total
of trade the United States sent into the
island for commercial purposes articles
to the value Of $685., 6S5, and received
from the Philippines articles of the
value of $2,572, 021. 1t is estimated that
the profits on the imports and exports
of the islands. calculated at 20 per cent.
amounted to s., 0S5,541. This showing is,
indeed, pitifully small when the cost
of it is considered. The Literary Di-
gest's article says: 1.-The total foreign
trade Of the islands would not pay go
per cent. of the cost of the war, the
total value of the trade of the United
States would not pay per cent; and
the profits on our trade with the ISL
ands would pay little more than / per
cent" 81
When peace has been brought about
there will be a revival of business, to
be sure; but will the trade ever be
large enough to pay interest on the
cost in blood and treasurer Many
statesmen. including such eminent Re-
publicans as Senator Hoar of Massa-
chusetts and Hale of Maine, think not.

Col. William Greene Sterett of Texas,

used to sit in a poker game In his ma
tive state, where ii is related the pas
sions of the players were frequently
expressed by violent means, says the
New York Sun. Casualties in Texas
poker games were not uncommon in
those days. The enemies of Col. Ster-
EFT relate with glee that on one occa-
sion, just as the morning sun was
reddening the horizon, the warrior
emerged from the game and into the
street with a haggard and harried
look. A friend, or pehaps an enemy,
meeting him at this crisis, clapped him
on the back and said jovially:

A bill has been introduced into the
New York Legislature to require street
car companies to refund fares to pas
sengers who ask for the return of their
money when the cars which they have
entered have been delayed for ten min
utes or more. There would be reason
in such a law, but serious difficulty
would be the manner of making an ac-
counting between the conductor and the
company, after the fares had been rung
up on the register and then returned to
the passengers.

IT is by no means settled that the
United States are to take over the
Danish West India Islands of st.
Thomas, st. John and st. Croix. It
appears that the people of the islands
are TO be permitted to vote on the
question, and then the matter has to
be passed upon by the Senate. The
dispatches from Washington are TO the
effect that while the sovereignty of
the isiands is proposed to be trans
ferred to THE United States. the resi-
dents thereon may continue their al
leGiance to the government OF Dem

without friction is not quite clear. II

A New Jersey man Is rapidly worry
ing himself into an insane asylum in
an effort to solve the old problem,
why does a dog wag his tail?" The
archaic answer, Because the tail can
not wag the dog will not apply, he
says, because he does not desire to
treat the matter as a joke. but as a
serious problem. The man processes to
be lover of dogs, but we cannot be-
lieve that he knows a great deal about
mans most faithful friend" or he
would understand the why of the wag
without asking. The dogs tail is the
vehicle for expressing his emotions, and
with it he can make known his vary
ing moods in a manner that should not
be misunderstood by dog lovers. The
happy dog wags his tail. with greater
or less energy according to the degree
OF his happiness. The sad dog permits
the point of his tail to droop. The
frightened dog sticks his tail between
his legs and runs. The expectant dog
elevates his tail to an angle of about
forty-five degrees and holds it rigid; if
he be hunter on the point, the tail
is held straight out behind on the level
with the back. The angry dog de-
presses his tail and holds it rigid. The
opinionated dog permits his tail to
dangle loosely, and may consent to
give it a staggering wag of about two
shakes by way of acknowledging an
acquaintance. All this applies, of
course, to dogs that have expressive
tails to wag. and not to the freaks
with tightly curIed tails or no tails at
all. The language of the dog is prin-
cipally in his tail, and no man who
watches his dogs tail need misunder-
stand the mood of his animal.

A leading hotel keeper of New York
CITY, quoted by the Tribune, says New
York contains larger number of ho-
tells than London, Paris and Berlin
taken together. He declares, further,
that there are almost twice as many
homes for guests in that city than
there were a year ago, and that new
ones are going up by the dozens, scores
and hundreds. But what is the effect
upon the home life Of New York OF all
these hotels? Does not the relative
number of homes decrease as the num-
Der of hotels increases? The line of
demarkation between hotel life and
home life is well defined. The influ-
ence of the latter is softening and re-
fining; the Influence of the former is
more than apt to be narrowing and
hardening. Manhattan real estate is
too valuable for New York to be city
of homes, but when it has become a
city entirely of hotels. its moral tone
is apt to suffer.

ORIGIN OF THE RACES.

The idea that all mankind is dis
family related in cousinship by descent
from Adam and Eve, is generally ac-
cepted throughout Christendom. But
there has arisen an iconoclastic an
thropologist who is ready to argue that
all mankind had not the same origin:
that the preponderance of evidence goes
to show the common origin theory to
be erroneous. This iconoclast Prof.
w. j. MCGEE, says, in an article in
Science, that those who assume man.
kind to have had a common origin
proceed to explain how the races differ
entiated; but they derive their explana-
ton, not from authenticated facts, hut
as a corollary drawn from the assump-
ton.
The great fact attested by all OBJ
servation of human development" says
Prof MCGEE, and which he says is sus-
ceptible of verification in every prov
ince and people, lis that mankind are
not differentiating in either physical or
psychical aspects, but are converging,
migrating, blending, unifying, both as
VI SohiSAAiS groups.
The population of the world is steadily
increasing. but the number of races is
not; while the number of distinct peo-
pies is progressively decreasing and
racial boundaries are slowly but surely
melting away" Present conditions, he
argues ARE in accord with the past,
so far as history runs, which makes II
fair to infer that the trend was the
same in prehistoric times Take any
race and study IT, says Prof MCGEE,
and it will be found to have grown out
of the absorption and assimilation OF
numerous groups or tribes. Everything
goes to show the coming together of
peoples. and nothing to show their d.
Vergence. 1t cannot be demonstrated,
he says, that at any period there was
such a divergent movement as would
have been necessary If the whole hu-
man race sprang from one source. All
of his Investigations. the Professor
says. indica& to him that the lines of
development of the human race, when
traced backward, diverge toward diff
ferent origins rather than converge to-
ward a common origin.
This theory will, of course, be warmly
contested, since it comes into conflict
with religious teachings.

There is a conflict between Attorney
General Knox and the Washington So
ciety for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Animals. The society asserts that the
Attorney Generals horses are checked
too high. and that when he drives
down the streets the animals are in
pain from the cruel pressure of their
bits. Notice has been served on Mr..
Knox's coachman that he will be ar
rested If he does not conform to the
rule OF the society, which is backed by
law. The Attorney General, according
to report, has told the coachman to
let the society go ahead and arrest IL
IL wants TO. that he will pay the fine.
since he knows what he wants in his
horses and does not propose TO he die
tated to by the society. II Is hard to
believe. however. that the Attorney
General would say any such thing. As
an officer OF the law he would natur-
ally be- one Of the first to respect the
law.

IT was published in New York a day
or two ago, and subsequently denied,
that the Standard Oil millionaires and
associate interests had bought control
of the Equitable Life Insurance Com
pany. 1t was the comment in Wall
street that the Rockefeller Nor
gan war had broken out again. :"
The securing of the great in
surarnce concern by the Rock
efeller interests, it was said, was
only part of the scheme of the STAN
dard Oil milllonaires to entrench them
selves against their rivals. Mr.. James
II. Hyde vice president of the Equita-
BILE and son Of the late president of
hataoompany. said there was no word
of truth in the report of the transfer

church, the women of the congrega-
ton sold hugs at church festival
The schedule of rates was as follows:
Girls under fifteen. two-minute hugs,
Is cents; girls under twenty, SO cents:
twenty to twenty-five, rs cents: an
other mans wife, 81: old maids. 3
cents. 1t is said that the hugging
booth. was well patronized. which is
a most peculiar circumstance. Ordi-
narify the hug that is bought and paid
for is not desired. 1t is the stolen hug:
the hug in the darkened hallway or
behind the parlOr door. that is most
appreciated. If the property hugs at

submarine boats will play a very prom
inent part, writes Lewis Nixon in Sue
cess. In the system of naval tactics
which has been evolved by hundreds of
years Of sea fighting, these small, in
conspicuous boats will bring about
changes which will be almost revolu-
tionary. The blockading of ports, as
practiced under out present system,
will be well-nigh impossible. The i'm
mensely wealthy seacoast cities, which
have trembled at rumors of war be-
cause of the likelihood that an enemy
would steal up to their doors and de-
stroy them, may put aside their fears.
A few submarine boats will be able to
clear any harbor of attacking ships of
war. Against the stealthy and under
hand. but terrifically destructive as
sault of such craft. a battleship can
have no defense but fight. At Santi-
ago, for example our men of-war
would never have dared to close in
around the mouth OF the harbor If the
Spaniards had had three or four yes
sells like the Holland scurrying about
and delivering quick and unforeseen
blows from the depths of the ocean. A
battleship cannot attack one OF these
naval sharks. for the very simple rea-
son that IL present no target. BE the
lookouts ever so vigilant, they cannot.
OF course, detect an enemy approach
ing beneath the surface to attack from
a water ambuscade. No armor plate
that has yer been devised is as ell
Client as a score or more feet OF water.
Ordinary torpedo nets will give no pro-
lection against submarine attack: the
assailanta will be able TO dive under
these nets, or send through them a tor

Lindsborg Thursday. The game ended
in a wrangle in the seventh inning and
was given to Bethany by a score of 9 to
o. The Manhattan aggregation in the
second inning with q score of 3 to ,
against them, began their attempts to
browbeat the umpire. Professor George
Eberhardt From that time on they per-
sisted in their tactics, wrangling at ev-
cry close decision and leaving the field
several times. till finally the game was
called. Such tactics will not win the
Manhattan team any friends in these
