annual one days leave of absence talk en by his diabolical majesty, the devil, yesteFday-a leave of absence which his majesty spends in this earthly planet doing number of devilish tricks.
 It is a common belief among almost all MeXicans that on the day of San Bartolo, which was yesterday. the devil Is loose and many unpleasant things happen. The devil is supposed to be very busy all the year around roasting bad people in the inferno, but on the day of San Bartolo he takes a little rest and comes to the earth to see how things are going on. That is, he comes on a trip of inspection to see the pros poets for the coming year.
 Many people are so superstitious about this that they stay at home all day and refuse to receive calls because, according to tradition, it occurred one time that the devil disguised himself and called upon people whom he want ed to carry away. The object Of the visit was briefly explained e~@ .''
 terested parties were so scared that most of them dropped deAu, .... -..-.--. the devil carried away their souls.

The work is to be taken up systematically under a central commis- sion which will direct the operations of the district surgeons. The league will include in it's membership all physicians in active practice. and all prominent citizens who are willing to serve in that useful capacity, and who will devote themselves to the spreading of informa- tion and the collection of funds. The former service will be accomplished by using the rural school teachers, giving weekly talks to the poor and distribut- ing pamphlets.

A former hello girl of the Washing ton telephone exchange recently re- lated one of her experiences on the wire, which she said had made a deep impression on her mind, and has since caused her to do considerable thinking. Here is the story as she told it: A man who worked in a downtown store was in the habit of calling up 2 | lady friend of his several times a day. He had just the sweetest voice I ever heard, and his conversation was sim ply angelic. His voice had a ring that was both captivating and musical, and must confess fell in love with that voice. His charming tone and suavity led me to believe that he must be the handsomest man in this. part of the country, and was almost dying to see him.
 One day was excused from duty at the exchange and sauntered down to the store in which he was employed. I knew his name, having heard it called frequently over the line, and after en- tering his business place I asked lady to point out MT. Blank to me.
 There he is over wonder by that show case" said the clerk
 T looked in the direction indicated, and my dream of manly beauty was quickly and rudely shattered, Instead of the handsome fellow had expected to find, MT. Blank was as ugly a mortal as had ever set eyes upon. He was baldheaded, one of his eyes looked to the east while the other gazed in a west-by- north direction. His nose was crooked. his mouth large and irregular, and he walked with a -go-fetch- it. effect. In a. word, he was as ugly as mud fence that had been struck by lightning. "
 Several months later I was intro duced to MT. Blank at social function, and had a long conversation with him.. could have listened to him until day light; He. was so affable and interest ing. and smart-Whew! He could talk on any topic under the sun and carry you right along with him, I have often heard of descriptive writers. He

Warships can stop to coal and make re- ] pairs gives it a value that cannot be i overestimated. The long journey from San Francisco, via Honolulu to Manila, eXhausts the fuel carrying capacity of ocean craft, and they are glad to put , in at the harbor of Guam and get a 1 fresh supply.
 Tn addition, it is going to be the hub
 of many radiating lines of submarine 1 telegraph. At present it has the Com
 mercial Pacific Cable Company from | San Francisco to the Philippines and
 the German Dutch Cable Company has
 completed a line from Menardo, in Ce- , lebes, via Yap and the CarOlines, which
 will be extended to Shanghai next i March. Then as soon as the Russo i Japanese war is over a cable Will be
 laid from Guam to Yokohama. The harbor is a good one now, but it is ! capable of great improvement, both as i to procuring a greater depth of water and in the mater of Qualifications, which i at present are non-existent. Its de- fenseless position at present is of no i consequence, but would be a serious matter in case of war.
 ! There are on the island about 1000
 natives, who call themselves Chamor- ros. They are of yellow complexion
 resembling the Filipinos somewhat, but
 larger in size. These natives from the
 start have never given our Govern
 ment the least trouble; they are good natured, docile, easily manage1.
 '"The people, as I said, are of an
 easygoing nature, but they are also in- tensely religious. To them the Catholic Church stands for all that makes life worth livi lg. So devoted are they that they will not remaH. away flvm. the , town Of Agana, in waI:h is the only house of worship on the island, over night. They will go out on their cocoa
 nut farms, several miles into the coun-
 try, during the day, but at nightfall will come hurrying back by the hun
 dreds, to be in proximity to their be- loved church. It would be an enormous help to their progress if some charita- ble person would beb for these people two or three churches, to be located
 in the outlying districts. This is, in- deed, the only way in which Guam will ever be properly settled. A few American priests ought also to come over there, for their influence would be of untold benefit in helping the na- tives to understand their rightful rela- tions with the United States. I speak
 not as Catholic, but as a Protestant who believes in accepting facts and ary- ing to make the best of them.
 Schools are also sadly needed, al- though we are doing a good deal to- ward teaching the young. The greatest need is for few more American ladies to take charge of this work, as the pso- pie think it wrong to send their daugh- ters to male teachers. For this reason several of the wives of United States officials stationed there are doing splen- did work in the schoolrooms. Some of the soldiers are also detailed as instrrlc- tors, and the common verdict is that the native children are bright and an,- bilious to learn, and that they acquire the English tongue with great readi- ness.

RAILRoAD RATE 1EGIsL4rIoy

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.
 That is interesting talk which comes from Washington to the effect that President Roosevelt is dead in earnest on the subject of railroad rate legisla- tiOn and is just as determined as ever that legislative regulations shall be en- acted looking to Federal supervision of the freight rate situation. This state ment was made yesterday after con ference with President Roosevelt, by Representative Townsend of Michigan, one of the authors of the so-called Esch-Townsend railroad-rate bill, which passed the House of Represen- tatives last winter. II have no author ity to represent the Presidents views as to railroad rates,'' said Mir. Town send, but can say that he entertains now the same views in principle as he expressed in his message last Decem- Der. He believes that to either the h. terstate Commerce Commission or to some other body ought to be given the authority to adjust rates found to be unreasonable. The crux of the whole matter is not that the Commission should fix rates, but that it should have the power to substitute a reasonable rate for one found on investigation to be unjust. Without such authority the evils complained of could not be reach ed.''
 If President Roosevelt is dead in earnest about this matter and some ether folks are also dead in earnest there will be an interesting time.

Easygoing and Intensely Religious De-

ENCOURAGING.

They try to have pure food in New York city, and they make some prog ress toward having it. During the first six months of this year the total num- Der of inspections, made was little short of a million. Nineteen thousand quarts of milk were found adulterated and were destroyed; four million pounds of fruit and eight and half million pounds of meat, fish and other food were similarly disposed of. Be- sides this inspections have been made of the creameries along all the rail- road lines which bring milk to the city, to see that they are kept in proper condition. In this connection the work of the Nathan Straus pasteurized milk charity, which closed it's summer season on Sunday, should also be considered. During the last year it dispensed among the poor 2y66S,S97 bottles of milk and also sold S07,O7G glasses of milk at a penny glass. The result of all this care has apparently been the low ering of the citys death rate. During the first six months of this year the number of cases of tagious diseases reported was 17,456, as compared with 39,114 during the corresponding period of the previous year, while the deaths of children under five years of age, which were ninety-six per thousand in 1890 and 1891 prior to the use of pas teurized milk among the poor, are now only sixty-three per thousand.
 New York isn't abolishing the death rate as rapidly as Chicago seems to be, but what it is doing is encouraging.

IS IT WEAKNESS?

Henry Labouchere doesn't like the new treaty between England and Ja- pan, and he says so with his custom ary force and clearness. There have, he says, been many speculations dur ing the last twelve months on the ef- feet likely to be produced in India by the spectacle of one of the. greatest of European military powers vanquished on land and sea by an Asiatic people. In the natural course of things such an event must tend to encourage any hopes of regaining their own independ- ence that any section of the natives of India may cherish. But what is likely to be the effect in that direction when we are exhibited in the attitude of buy Russia to secure ourselves against a possible attempt of these same, Russians to oust US from India? In resisting the payment of an indemnity to Japan, the Russians were avowadly actuated by the moral effect which anything in the nature of the paymentof tribute to the mikado would be likely to have on their own relations, with their innumerable Asiatic subjects. We appear to have done gratuitously what the Russians refused to agree to under pressure of the direst necessity. At the moment when we have \the least to fear from Russia, we strike a bargain with the terrible mikado in order to purchase the assistance of his victorious armies against the nation which they have overthrown in an unbroken series of victories. We have often advertised our fears of Russian attack on India with frankness which reflected equal ly on our courage and our common sense. But nothing that We have done yet in that direction equals the wan ton folly of this proceeding.

 The work will be carried out under the direction of Catain B. D. Ashford, who for the past five years has been in Porto Rico studying the plague of anenlia, which affects the people of that Island. This is another name for the hookworm disease. Captain Ashford has been prominent in the investigation of health conditions in Porto Rico and has contributed much to improving san- itation there. It is now proposed to es- tablish a league which shall make the Suggested improvement permanent and operate as a safeguard of public health.

 Paris has many things, and it will soon have more. For instance. it will soon have a Mohammedan mosque in the neighborh0od of the Invalides. For some years a French Mohammedan. living in Cairo-M. Lambert-has been at work collecting subscriptions. and he has now received the consent of the Ministre des Cultes to build one mosque in Paris and another in Marseilles. The State is expected to grant free build ing sites for the structures. The estab- lishment of these mosques has been a matter of anxious concern to the Mo- roccan sheikh Abd-el- -Rahman-el-Mala- chi and the three other sheikhs of Ez- al-Haar University, and the news of the support given to the scheme by the French government is likely to enhance Frances influence in Mohammedan centers-an influence which has been rather on the wane of late. M. Lam bert has been resident in Egypt for forty-three years. He went there with M. Ferdinand de Lesseps. England and Germany have several mosques, and it has been a subject of complaint among the thousands of Mussulmans who visit Paris every year that no place of wor- ship had been provided for them. There is a very large floating Mohammedan population also in Marseilles.
 Perhaps little Mohammedanism wont hurt France.

Some of the French and German leaders of the anti-alcholic movement who attended the recent convention in behalf of their cause at Budapest, stopped over at Vienna and delivered adresses before the Medical Association of that city. Professor Forel, the great French authority on mental diseases, reproacIed the medical men of Europe with taking too mercenary view of their profession; many of them, he said, Rssume the same sophistical attitude Towards alcohol that the medical men in India do towards opium. He refer red to the fact that English insurance companies give special rates to ab- stainers, and said he knew a woman, a total abstainer, whose mind remained so active that she was able to write a poem on her hundredth birthday. One Aof the other speakers, Dr. Mathes of A[9raz, declared that only one-third of the mothers to-day could nurse their own children, and that of the other two-thirds forty-two per cent. are Thinkers and thirty-six per cent. hard drinkers.
