The most entertaining lies told about
the British troubles i'm South Africa
may be found in a FIR ench newspaper
printed in the little fir away French
colony of Pondicherry,, in India, says
the New York Tribune. They are so
dfverting that the English themselves
see the joke. One of the best things
that passed for news in Pondicherry
was an account of Gen. Buffers all
legged capture by the Beers:
Gen. Butler stood in humble and
suppliant attitude before Gen. De-
Wet. Greatly moved by this heart
rending scene, Gen. DeWet, who looked
like God himself asked Butler if he
had anything to say. Gen. Butler re-
piled in these words: Sir, l am a
poor man. L entangled myself in this
war owing to my inability to bear the
worry of the British government.
Grant me my life and 1 will co.
Butler was thereupon released. Gen.
French. however, was shot, after hav-
ing broken his parole. King Edward,
it is reported, has given medals to
three thousand runaways from the
British army, to keep up appearances.
But the British money chest is so low
that the government now robs London
residences by night"

Consum ption-the most dreaded of all
diseases OF today-iS durable. For cent
uries this fearful malady has stared the
people in the face, with no hope, no
haven of refuge, no relief to turn to, but
now-science has made sufficient strides
to be able to cope intelligently with all
the various forms of pulmonary affec-
tionS.
Few people realize what anatomical
wonders the lungs are. Just imagine two
great sacks, one consisting of two and the
other of three lobeS or compartments
each made of delicate membranous sub
stance as light and thin as piece of silk,
expanding and contracting as we inhale
and exhale the air that supplies life.
No one approaching the work expected
of them would abuse his lungs if he
could look at them and see with his
own eyes the effect produced. The lungs
are almost like paper-mere tissues-that
are susceptible to the least aggravation.
A cold, though ever so Slight if on the
lungs, weakens them. A cough, though
only occasional, means a rasping at these
precious organs, a. sore result of colds
and coughs) means an irritation that is
hard to heal. When aggravated and it
reaches an advanced stage, the lungs
shrvel up and wither away Consump-
ton invariably begins in the upper part
of the right lung.
Coughing does not always accompany
diseases of this character, and consump-
tives sometimes goto theirgrave with little
annoyance in this direction and little ex-
pectoration. Their lungs, like an apple in
the sun, simply waste away and fall
to pieces. If a flower becomes hfeless
and droops its head, you give it nourish-
ment water and sunlight Your lungs
are just like plant, they need nourish-
ment continually. Your blood flows
through every part of them and gives
them life. 1t sootheS and heals them,
keeps them fresh and healthy. If your
blood possesses the right nourish ment, it
makes. your lungs SO strong that germs
can't live in them, for germs only live
where there j weakness. You must
have proper medical assistance and you
must also have sunlight, plenty of rest,
plenty of outdoor air and good food.
The first has always been hard to get but
the other requirements are within the
reach of anyone. There is a medicine,
famous French compound, remedy

upon by celebrated chemists from all

Not Up in Lingerie.

Rear Admiral Schley was visiting in
Nashville last week, says the New
York Commercial The committee in
charge of his reception, wanting to do
the right thing by their guest, tele-
graphed last Friday to their congress-
man, John Wesley Gaines, to know,
what salute or other honors should be
accorded. Mr.. Gaines at once made in
quiry of the Navy Department and
wired back the information:
"A salute of thirteen guns, with two
ruffieS and flourishes.'
OF course, this meant the ruffies of
the drums and the fiourishes of the
trumpets. The Nashville people, how
ever, were at a loss to understand.

Unfortunate Quotation.

The first issues of Perry Heath's new
afternoon paper in Salt Lake City, the
Telegram, appeared a few evenings
ago. Among the articles which enliv-
ened its columns was complimentary
sketch of Senator Kearns, says the
Washington Post. In the course OF
the tribute to the Senator's abilities
the writer INDUCED in the scriptural
phrase which says:
He that is dIligent in business shall
stand before kings.
The quotations was all right in the
manuscript, but when it appeared In
print 1t read:
He that is diligent in business shall
stand by FOUR kings.
The rival newspaper has been hav-
ing a good deal of fun at Senator
Kearns' expense. and it has even sug-
gested that If the Senator has to gel
his poker knowledge out of the Bible
he had better come home at once.

WHERE RICHES TAKE WINGS.

1t was not generally known what
compensation the members of the
Philippine Commission received until
mission, stated the amount of their
salaries in his testimony before the
Senate Committee having charge of
Philippine matters. Judge Taft re-
ceives $4,000 a year and each of his as
sistants 5000, Such salaries in this
country suggest not only all of the
necessaries of life but about all the
Injuries, and yet Judge Taft says that
at the end of last year he had only
$500 surplus, and his understanding
is that the other commissioners did
not have as much.
1t has not been so many years since
the salary of the President of the
United States was only S25, 900 a year,
and he did a good deal of entertaining
Some of the Presidents saved money.
The conclusion is that it costs more
to live in Manila than in Washington
or the civil government of the Philip
pines is conducted on scale of greater
magnificence, from a social point of
view, than our government was prior
to the Civil War. 1t seems that Judge
Taft lives in palace which costs him
a great deal of money to keep up. He
pays $4,000 year for servants and $125
a month for gas for lighting purposes.
1t is easy to see, of course, where his
money goes. but is it necessary for him
and the other commissioners to do so
much entertaining? Are they trying to
placate the Filipinos by giving them
terrapin and champagne, or is the
money spent upon army officers and
their families? If on the officers it is
questionable whether the cause of
American rule is being advanced by
the lavish expenditures of the COM
missioners, but if on the Filipinos the
salaries of the commissioners may be
fastening the approach of the period
of pacification.
If the army officers find living in
Manila as expensive as the commits
sioners do they doubtless look upon
it as a place where riches literally
take wings.
We are not surprised that equity old
senator's and spry young representa-
tives become restless when they hear
Judge Taft talk about his 500, 900 SAL
airy, since they are receiving only
$4,000, but they must not overlook the
fact that if they are economical they
can save more money than the Philip
pine Commissioners appear to be able
to do.

SUCCESSION TO THE PRESIDENCY.

1t seems strange that so able a con-
stitutional lawyer as Senator Hoar
should have Numbered when he intro
duced and had passed his bill provid-
ing for the succession to the presi-
dency in the event of the death of
both the President and Vice President
Ard how such a bill could have passed
both the House and the Senate with
their scores of able lawyers without
strange
Now it seems to be admitted, even
by Senator Hoar, that the succession
law, which caused an easier feeling
throughout the country when it was
enacted, is unconstitutional The law,
as is well known, provides that in the
event of the death of both the Presi-
dent and Vice President, the Secretary
of State shall be President until a
President is properly chosen, and in
the event of the death of the Secretary
of State the next cabinet officer in
rank shall become President, and so on
through the list of the members of the
cabinet
1t being admitted that this law is
not warranted by the constitution Sem
| ator Hoar has introduced a bill, con-
tanning an amendment to the consti-
tuition, providing that in the event of
vacancy in the Presidency it shall be
temporarily filed by Congress.
1t is already apparent that the bill
will meet with opposition, notwith-
standing the fact that it has been
passed by the Senate A bill has been
introduced into the House providing
for a constitutional amendment MAX
ing the President pro tenn of the Sem
ate the successor to the presidency in
the event of the death of both the
President and The Vice President, and
providing against a vacancy in the
presidency pro tenn of the Senate
Some of the objections against Sem
ator Hoar's new bill are pretty strong
ones, so strong, in fact, that it would
not be surprising if it should not meet
with approval in the House. No doubt
more care will be taken with legisla-
ton on this subject than was taken
with the present succession law.
