In the May number OF the North
american Reuiew Mark Twain under
takes "a Defense of General Funs.
ton" Despite the pretence of the
title, the famous humorist's article is
perhaps the most scathing and inex-
orablc criticism which has yet been
made Of the methods employed in the
capture of Aguinaldo. By the Gus.
tom of war, Mark Twain admits all
the things done an General Funston's
expedition-except one-were justi-
fable, and had been done before. The
one exception was absolutely new,
and put shame upon an ancient senti.
ment and custom of humanity. When
they were only eight miles from
Aguinaldo's rendezvous General Funs.
ton and his men had exhausted their
food, and were too weak to move.
A messenger was despatched to Agui.
naldo to beg for food to save them
from starvation, and the Filipino
chieftain promptly responded by send
ing a supply Of rice. Now, by the
precept OF all ages and all nations, if a
man is exhausted by hunger to the
point where he is too weak to move,
he may supplicate his enemy for food,
but il he takes so much as a taste of
that food he is barred from lifting his
hand against that enemy for that
time. But Funston and his men EN-.
ployed the strength derived from the
food given to them by Aguinaldo to
invade his rendezvous, kill his people
and capture him. And we promoted
him for it. There is danger, Mark
Twain insists, in the public admira.
tior Of such deed:

Washington's case: he became colos.
sal example, an example to the whole
world, and for all time-because his
name and deeds went everywhere, and
inspired, as they still inspire, and will
always inspire admiration, and COM
pei emulation. Then the thing for
the world to do in the present case is
to turn the gilt front of Funston's
evil notoriety to the rear. and expose
the back aspect OF it, the right and
black aspect of it, to the youth of the
land; otherwise he will become an
example and a boy -admiration, and
will most sorrowfully and grotesquely
bring his breed of patriotism into
competition with Washington's. This
competition has already begun, in
fact. Some may not believe it, but it
is nevertheless trpe. that there are
now public-school teachers and super
intendents who are holding up Funs-
ton as model hero and patriot in the
schools"

moss But he doesn't paint the picture
of the man whose tongue is parched
with fever, who tumbles and losses in
his hot room and narrow bed while the
bacilli of the bucket and the we'll are
striving for his life That wouldn't be
a poetic theme, and he has nothing to
do with q theme that is not poetic.
AS a matter of fact the old well and
its familiar bucket have been the means
of diseasing whole neighborhoods. The
microbe is everywhere, and the easiest
vehicle for its introduction into the body
is perhaps the water we drink. We
can't keep the microbe out. We can
prevent its harmfulness.
THE DANGER OF DISEASE
does not lie in the strength of the
microbe but in the weakness OF the
body. When the blood is impure the
microbe has a vantage ground from
which to operate. When the blood is
pure disease fails to find a breeding
ground, and the microbe strives in vain
against the man. Nobody can be healthy
when the blood is impure. faint the
blood and every organ fed and nourished
BY blood must share the faint. Keep
the blood pure and plentiful and the
body is made strong to resist the assaults
of disease.

He had an immense correspondence
to take care Of, and found it necessary
to employ stenographer. The younl
lady was pretty. 1t is not to be in
ferred that there are any but prett,
lady stenographers, but the ope EN-
ployed by DR.. Barrows was especial,
comely. The doctor fitted up a work

The work of preparing for the Con
grsss was still going forward on the
18th Of February, when the doctor.
little son became excited over the
sending and receiving of valentines
The boy had been running about the
neighborhood handing love tokens
to the children he knew and many
had come to him, when he remem.
bered he had a father up on the third
floor, in addition to the One in heaven.
Going to his mother, he proposed they
send up valentine.
WE'LL" said Mrs. Barrows, at is
very nice of you to remember father.
How would it do for me to write a
valentine for him and let you take it
up?"
The boy was delighted with the
idea, and his mother wrote upon a
sheet of paper:
"Please kiss the bearer"
This che placed in an envelope
which was properly sealed and ad.
dressed to the doctor. The boy start.

had been running a good deal during
the morning, and his legs were weary
When he had reached the second floor
he met the pretty stenographer, who
had started out after postage stamp,
or something, and asked her if she
wouldn't be kind enough to hand the
note to his father.
She took the envelope, gave the
child pat on the cheek and ran back
upstairs, where-perhaps prompted by
femme curiosity-she waited while Dr.
Barrows opened his valentine and
read, in his wife's handwriting:
"Please kiss the bearer"

THE OLD WELL.
A Story of Moss, Microbes

He paints pretty and pathetic word
pictures which touch the heart and dim

of physiology or pathology. When he
sings song of the old we'll on the
farm and of the moss grown bucket in
which the water was drawn, he hasn't a
thought Of the bacteria which find a
fertile breeding ground in many an old

Divorce in Europe.

Divorce was established in Ger.
many in 1875. From 1881 to 1885
the yearly number of divorces was
about 5000, while OF late years it ex-
ceeds 10000. In England divorce was
established in 1857. During the
years 185S-lS62 the annual number
was about 200; in 1894 about $50; in
1898 about 655. In Austria, where
only non.C Catholics can apply for di.
vorce, the number OF demands for d.
vorce increased 25 per cent. in four
years, aud in Belgium about 20 FER
cent. in four years.

SUGGESTION TO HOUSEWIVES

To preserve the fresh color OF yegc-
tables boil last in plenty OF water, with
cover Of kettle of.
MAKE tough meat tender 10y washing
1t in vinegar, rinsing this OF teiore
cooking the meat.
Ammonia and powdered borax in
warm water should be used frequently
for washing toilet spOnges.
Rub articles stained with eggs or
from baking custards, etc, with salt
The brown stains at once come of.
4 sponge should never be used I'M
less it be sweet and clean. After
washing it, dry in the air and sun
shine.
Never Use soap when cleaning mat
ting. When washing is necessary use
warm soft water, with little salt dis
solved in it.
To put wide wick. in lamps or oil
stoves thoroughly starch, dry and iron
the wick and it will Sip in easily with
out interference with its duty as con.
ductor Of oil.
For the small pieces that are in
everyday use, such as the knives and
forks, plenty Of good hot suds and a
vigorous rubbing after they are washed
will keep them in good condition with
very little cleaning.
The picture hats are quite the most
beautiful La Mode has ever seen. The
extraordinary predominance OF lace
may account for this. For the mo-
ment, flowers are little more popular
than feathers, but that is always the
case when we arc anxious to welcome
the first signs of spring, though in
reality the perfect picture hat is in
complete without its ostrich plumes.
To remove a tight ring from the
finger pass a piece OF linen thread or
fine Irvine under the ring, and wind it
round and round the finger toward
the tip. Then take the end below the
ring and gradually unwind it. During
the process the ring will be gently
pushed upward till, little by little,
it has moved along the string to a
thinner part of the finger, whence it is
easily removed.
A goodly supply of doilies and car
vers will protect the tablecloth and
will make it possible to avoid spots.
The carvers may be easily made at
home, and if the linen is bought by
the yard and the cloth hemstitched
and little embroidery put on them
they will add greatly to the appearance
of the table, and the work may be
done between times when some light
or fancy work is desired.
The new glass washboards are clean,
durable and good for the clothes.
Their one drawback is that they are a
trifle heavy. Sanitarily they are far
and away better than the wooden or
zinc-faced sort, which absorb dirt and
hold all manner of taints. Indeed, it
is unsafe 10 use wooden washbOards
unless they are carefully scalded and
dried at the end OF washing. One that
has been used to wash clothes from q
sick room, even if there is no contag.
ious disease, should be scalded with
soda water and treated after drench.
ing with chloride of lime.
