Little WiIIie's Base Hit.

He had been hanging around my girl
for some time, and l saw that unless
something was done before long, he
would soon become a member of the
family, says the fond father, in the
Detroit Free Press. l had frowned up
on the matter right from the start, as
l didn't think he was good enough for
my daughter. But from the beginning
l simply constituted a hopeless minor
ity, as my wife thought he was a per-
feet paragon. l thought l knew bet
ter, and when, one Sunday, / saw him
at a ball game, l was sure of it.
l am a great lover of the American
game, and Sunday is the only day l
have time to attend. l have always
been very careful to keep from my
wife the fact that 1 ever attended a
game of ball on Sunday, as she is a
very strict church member, and views
with horror any one who seeks pleas
ure on the Sabbath. So, when l saw
the young man there at the game, l
thought 1 had found way to bring
her over to my side, knowing full well
that if 1 did, his chances of becoming
a member of the family were mighty
slim. l hadn't the slightest idea that
he had seen me there, and l thought l
could startle ain admission from him
that would show him up in his true
colors, and without danger to myself
So when he called the other night, 1
said suddenly:
Young man, where were you last
Sunday"
"Oh, 1 just sat two rows ahead of
you" he answered easily.
That threw explanations back on me.
and left me gasping for breath.
Fine sermon, wasn't?" he added a
moment later, coming to my rescue like
the trump he is.
"Oh, you dear fellow, did you go to
church and say nothing to me about
it 2" cried my wife. How lovely! What
was the text?"
/ was simply incapable of answering,
and again that young man filled the
breach.
Ninety and nine" said he.
The score wasn't quite as bad as
that-almost, though. Say! he's the fin
est young man that ever drew breath.

The Woes of Lane.

dear little boy whose winter home
is in the Oranges in New Jersey, and
whose summer home is at Glen Summit,
Pa, but whose identity shall not be
further disclosed, attended a dame
school last winter and on an occasion
when visitors were announced, took
part in exercises in their honor, So Us
the Brooklyn Eagle. The exercises
comprised recitations by the brighter
children, and among them this dear
little boy was called on. He recited in
perfectly good faith the following,
which he had learned or caught from
an indulgent nurse with -poetical
instinct:
Jane ate cake and Jane ate jelly,
Jane went to bed with pain Ia her
Now don't get excited,
Don't be misled
For what Jane had was a pain in her
head.
When the youngster told of this to his
entirely surprised and somewhat shock
ed parents they asked him. What did
the teacher say?" He replied: "She
said nothing. She just turned around
and looked out of the window, but the
scholars and the visitors wanted me 10

THE RAvAGEs OF PNEUMONIA.

At the recent annual meeting of the
American Medical Association at Sara
toga pneumonia was the disease that
received most attention. Writing in
the New York Journal, Or. James ].
Walsh says: I'VE hear much of the
ravages of diphtheria, the whole coun-
try is disturbed by the thought of
smallpox but at their worst these dis
cases are only trivial factors in the
death rate of our cities and pneumonia
is responsible for about one in seven of
all deaths that occur" This gives an
idea of what ravaging monster pneu-
monia is, and with what dread it
should be regarded; and yet very little
progress has been made in it's treat
ment in fifty years. There is no drug
that will check or cure the aiIment,
and the best that can be done is to give
the patient careful and unremitting
nursing past the crisis.
In the popular mind pneumonia has
| been regarded as a winter disease.
Medical men know that it occurs at all
seasons, though more frequently in
winter than in warm weather; and,
whatever the season, the mortality
from the complaint is as high as one
in five. 1t is clear, then, that the study
of the disease and the means of its
prevention is a matter of the highest
Importance.
At the Saratoga meeting the doctors
seemed pretty well agreed not only
that pneumonia is a germ disease, but
that it is contagious at least to a limit
ed extent. Consumption, the authori-
ties say, is contracted by the breath
ing in of tuberculosis germs, in the
form of dust, hence the edict that has
gone out against splitting. especially in
| public places. DIR. Walsh says pneu-
monia must be combatted in a similar
manner. The sputum of the pneumo-
MIA patient must be burned or steril-
lied. 1t must never be allowed to be-
come dry so as to be blown about as
dust. 1T seems to be a very preva-
lent opinion he says, that dust is an
important cause of pneumonia. By
this is meant not the coarse dust of the
streets, but the fine, impalpable dust
that occurs in houses. This contains
organic material on which the germs
of pneumonia may live for a long time.
They are so common in the atmosphere
that most people have them in their
mouths all the time, even when they
are in good health"
The dust of theaters, public halls,
closed street cars and other places of
| public gathering is said to be especially
! germ-laden, and numerous instances
have been noted in which pneumonia
developed within a few days after the
patient had been in crowded place
for some time. A means of prevention.
then, Is TO secure cleanliness in houses
and public gathering places. Splitting
on floors should be regarded as moth
ing short of criminal, and an unremit-
ting war should be waged against dust
and dust-catching carpets and uphoi-
stery.

THE COST OF THE PHILIPPINES.

| Our possession of the Philippines has
been costly, and there is reason to be-
heve that they will continue to be a
burden to us to the amount of many
millions of dollars a year. In the state
ment that Secretary Root sent to the
House on Thursday it appears that
/ our total outlay in connection with the
| islands, from the signing of the treaty
1 of Paris until the present time, has
| been about $40 1000 900. OF course the
| lives which have been sacrificed in sub
DUNG the Filipinos are not taken into
account. In his speech on the Philip
pine civil government bill in the House
on Friday Representative Jones said
that it was probably a fair estimate
that 10000 Filipinos and 10000 Ameri-
cans had been killed in the war IL the
Philippines.
The actual fighting in the islands
is about over but the people are not
subdued. They are not accepting
American rule willingly. The testi-
mony of the ex-insurgent leader NAL
var that was given in the Major Gar
dener inquiry in Manila last week must
have astonished the members of the
Philippine Commission and the army
officers there. He said in effect that
in the province of Tayabas, in which
he operated, the Filipino officials of
the various municipal and other gov
ernments which had been established
by the commission, were at all times
furnishing them with supplies and in
formation, Notwithstanding the fact
that they had taken the oath to be
loyal to the American government and
were receiving pay from the commits
sion. This would seem to indicate that
though we may have conquered the
Filipinos to the extent of forcing them
to abandon their fight for independ-
ence they are no more friendly to us
than they were the day the war be-
gan.
And it is doubtful if we shall ever
be able to make them feel that our
rule would be better for them than
their own, and that our chief aim is to
benefit them. If they remain sullen,
unconquered in spirit, looking all the
time for an opportunity to resist our
authority, never approaching anything
we do for them. it is evident that the
task we have undertaken in the Phil
ippine Islands has been scarcely begun
and that the cost thus far is small in
comparison to what it will be.
We are now about to pay $5.OOO,0OO
for the friars' lands, simply to crafty
the Filipinos, but it is doubtful if that
act will advance us much if any in
their good will. Looking at the situa-
ton from all points of view there is
no good reason for doubling that the
policy of the Democratic party for
dealing with the Filipinos, namely, to
announce to them that they are to have
their independence as soon as they
have a stable government, would be
better for them and for the American
people.

The trial of al" Adams, the poll
cy king of New York, has developed
the fact that the winning numbers in
policy are never drawn, or rather ar
ranged, until after the numbers and
combinations on which bets have been
made are received at the central Office
of the policy gang. That is. the policy
men fix the winning numbers to suit
themselves, and only permit winnings
to be made when and where they
please. In short, they play no game of

1t has not been many years since
the peach season in the United States
was only four or five weeks long. The
crop for the markets came almost
wholly from Maryland and Delaware
and was not matured until August.
Now there is more than four months
of peaches. The season starts in Geor-
gia in June, with the delicious Elber-
tas following in July, and moves north
ward gradually until it ends in Canada
in October. The outlook this season is
that the crop will be very fine in quail
ity in all of the peach sections, though
not so large as was expected some
weeks ago. THE Georgia peach" says
the Philadelphia Press, has done much
more than to put money into the pock-
cts of the growers and to tickle the
palates of the consumers. 1t has helped
to close the bloody chasm between the
North and South 1t made it easy to
believe there is much good in a region
that can produce the liberia peach"
The peach acreage has been largely
increased within the past few years,
but there is room for thousands more
trees and their fruits.
