VALENTINES DAY.

The celebration of Valentines day, II
the spirit and not the form Is had In
view, dates back to pagan times. The
ancient Romans observed the so-called
LupercalIa during the month Of Feb
ruary, In honor Of the birth of spring,
and this custom was adhered to by the
so-caled Christian Romans, although
these discarded the pagan worship. In
order to give the celebration Chris

THE RABBI AND THE COLONEL.

Attention Is directed to a strong APP
peal against Russia by Rabbi Reynolds,
in this issue OF the News" We must
confess that out sympathies are, to a
large extent. with Japan In the con-
Dict that threatens to affect The entire
civilized world and a portion at least
Of other parts Of the globe. As to the
ISSUE taken by the Rabbi with the opin-
ion expressed by Col. t. f. Holmes IN
a recent interview, we think a little too
much is made Of the point presented.
The Information impaired by the Col
onel Is very valuable at this juncture,
and what he evidently intended TO con-
vey was, that those vast Improvements
that follow the course OF Christian
civilization" are so far In advance OF
the works Of paganism, that II Is hard
TO see why the powers OF Europe want
to have them retarded by the expulsion
Of Russia from Manchurla. We do not
understand the gentleman as adyocat-
ing, or condoning, the course Of Rus
STA toward conquered provinces or It's
own native people; nor that he accepts
Russian notions Of religion as true
Christian doctrine or practice. he SIM
ply referred to the opening up Of vast
tracts OF country and providing means
OF travel and intercommunicatlon by
Russian enterprise, In contrast with
the stagnation of paganIsm. The Rab.
bis indignation against Russian afro
cities Is very naturally aroused, and
that which he portrays is worthy the
attention Of all Chrlstendom as well as
heathendom. We believe Divine Provl-
dence Is over all human affairs, nation
al as well as individual, and that even
war, with all It's horrors, will be over
ruled to bring about the overthrow of
oppression and the establishment OF the
reign Of Righteousness and liberty.

HERO AND THE TOOTHAcHE Remarks Thereon by Disillusioned Girl-He Had Faced Death
 at Santiago.

"I used to be given to hero worship" said the girl with the Russian sable huff to her companion of the long, dark eyelashes, according to the New York Sun. "But, dear, we change. do we not? Do you recall how spent the last of my pin money to attend reception that the club arranged for a certain hero?
 "Well, the week before lest I was coming up from Palm Beach. On the train was a hero who had withstood a dozen hostile fires at Santiago. He had a toothache, a simple little toothache, and he bel lowed like calf. I thought of the five teeth that I had pulled out in one afternoon without gas and asked myself if the man was real ly brave. I decided that a hero must have toothache such as the ordinary mortal never dreamed of.
 "One of the train hands who sympathized with the hero said The best thing for a toothache is whisky. If had one I'd fill up'- and he did. I mean my hero, that was, did. Don't talk to me in fu- ture of hero worship. Facing death may be one thing, but I'd rather face death than be afraid of a toothache. Have a bon bon ?''

AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
Kate, the Bumboat Woman, Who Has Haunted Washington's Navy
 yard for Forty Years.

Kate, the bumboat woman, is the title applied to an odd crea- Ssre who has been haunting the Washington navy yard for the past 40 years, says the Washing ton Post. Her name is Kate Royal, and as far back and further than the oldest man connected with the yard can remember, Kate has been making her daily trips with her basket of candy, fruit and notions to sell to the sailors who visit Washington on Uncle Sam's boats. Kate has speaking acquaintance with all the great men of the army and navy. She has letters and presents from most of them, including Amirals Dewey, Sampson and Schley.
 Kate made her first visit to the yard during the civil war. She was young woman in those days, and Her bright Irish ways made her a great favorite. In later years, when age began to creep upon her, she began to form an opinion that she was an active and indispensable part of the navy. She considered herself an enlisted person and became as de- voted to the cause as the most loyal man. It is just 40 years sincs Kate began to consider herself a sailor.
 She has had ten red enlistment stripes, representing four years each, placed upon a field of blue cloth, and this she wore to cele- brate the anniversary.
 Kate is a picturesque charac- ter. Her form is bowed beneath the weight of 70 years, and her face is scanned with the marks of time. Only her eyes still retain the Drllllancy Of youth, and they sparkle with the same Irish hu- nor and good nature that gleamed from them 40 years ago.
 Kate has no regular hours If business. She is on hand with the rising sun, and the late hours of the evening find her still on duty. She gathers her little stock of trade around her-under the fore castle of one Of the United States boats lying up at the yard, and with the sailor boys lying around her onthe floor she will tell them tales of her youth or crone~Ir Irish melodies for them until the signal for lights out is passed around, and the sailors seek their swing ing hammocks, and Kate shoul- ders her basket of goods and wan- ders home.

"Radiurn Sirup. D

A practical joke, now common among Parisians, is to go into a drug store and ask for three cents' worth of radium. At first the chemists took 1t good-naturedly, but latterly it has become quite a nuisance. One chemist in the Rue de Ri7oli has just hit upon a way of getting even with the would-be jokers. He has made a concoction which he calls "radium sirup," and when the practical joker arrives gravely hands out a small quantity, charging 1-. two cents for the bottle. en e4esa
