Superstitious Regard for the Fighting Women of
the Philippines.
Reports all agree that the amazon lead-
ers in the Philippine army are rarely
killed, their very recklessness serving to
protect them by striking terror into the
hearts of the Spaniards, who regard them
as possessed by the devil. On the other
hand, their daring inspires the insurgents
with confidence and they fight like demons.
Mme. Rizal was the daughter of Irish
parents. Her father was James Bracken,
a sergeant in the British army. She was
born in the Victoria barracks at Hong
Kong and christened accordingly ‘‘the
daughter of the regiment.”” Her mother
died during her infancy, and the little girl
' was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Tauffuer of
Manila, who reared and educated her. She
became engaged to Dr. Rizal, the Philip-
pine hero, and married him only a few
days before he was shot. The Spaniards
forced her to witness his execution, and
she vowed vengeance—a vow she has well
kept. ‘Mme. Rizal declares that her hus-
band took no active part in the insurrec-
tion, and that his only offense was sympa-
thy with his people, and declares also that
his execution was an unprovoked and cold
blooded murder. As soon as possible
afterward she and Miss Rizal, sister of the
doctor, made their way through the lines
to Innis, where they were received with
great enthusiasm hy the revolutionists.
The two women went at once to the con-
vent Hacienda de Dejiras to nurse the sick
and wounded, who were there in numbers
and suffering sadly for the lack of attention.
There they found plenty of work to do,
and there they remained for nearly a
month ministering to the soldiers. While
they were engaged in this feminine duty
the Spaniards attacked Marinus, a village
two or three miles distant, and Mme. and
Miss Rizal insisted upon taking part in the
engagement, believing that their presence
would encourage and stimulate the insur-
gents, so well armed, they mounted on
horses and rode to the front. Mme. Rizal
is a good shot. She fired 40 cartridges
during the skirmish and is credited with
having killed the officer at the head of the
Spanish column. She professes to have
enjoyed the excitement and not to have
felt a bit afraid.

Declaration of Independence.
Looking at it through the long years
that have elapsed since its adoption, too
many of us are prone to the belief that the
Fourth of July, 1776, is the only historic
day in connection with the declaration of
Independence. But while the docu-
ment was officially given to the
world on the day that is now the anniver-
sary of freedom, the Continential Congress
deliberated over it many a long hour be-
fore the fateful moment for its utterance
arrived.
The Declaration of Independence in the
old Philadelphia State House was the cul-
mination of various uprisings in all of the
colonies. For some time the colonists had
felt indignant over their treatment by the
British crowa, and an English writer goes
so far as to say that among the documents
in the British offices is evidence that the
Americans had looked forward to political
freedom from the time of the Revolution in
England in 1688. Patrick Henry talked
of a Declaration of Independencedn 1773,
and Franklin entertained the idea in 1774.
The first steps leading that way were
when Rhode Island on May 17th, 1774,
proposed a council of the colonies, an idea
that was seconded in Philadelphia at al-
most the same time. In the same month a
town meeting in New York advocated a
similar scheme. Inside of a couple of
months every colony but Georgia became
infected with the desire to unite in protec-
tive bond, and on September 5th, 1774, a
Congress met in Carpenter’s hall, in Phil-
adelphia. A Declaration of Colonial Rights
was one of the acts of this first American
Congress. This was not a breaking away
from the mother country, but an assertion
of the rights of the colonists, and was fol-
lowed by a petition to the King for redress.
Congress lasted some two months, adjourn-
ing to meetagain the next year. North
Carolina took the first radical step in the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.
In April of 1776 the representatives in Con-
gress from that colony were instructed to
act with the others in declaring colonial in-
dependence. Massachusetts followed North
Carolina in instructing delegates in the
same tone, offering their lives and the
remanants of their fortunes to support the
measure. Virginia took a further step by
ordering her representatives to propose the
declaration, and Rhode Island gave similar
instructions. Pennsylvania had viewed
with alarm the drift of affairs and at first
repudiated such action. But she came in
finally with no instructions to her mem-
bers in Congress.
In May of 1876 the spirit had grown so
bold that Congress adopted a resolution
that such a government should be estab-
lished in the colonies as would conduce to
the happiness of the people. This made
the way easy for Richard Henry Lee, of
Virginia, to carry out the instructions of
his colony to propose a Declaration of In-
dependence, which he did on June 7th. It
was short, simply stating that the colonies
should be free and that relations with Great
Britain should be dissolved. Old John
Adams seconded the resolution, and a com-
mittee was appointed to prepare the docu-
ment. They were Thomas Jefferson, John
Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sher-
man and Robert Livingston, Jefferson made
a draft of the instrument, which with some
alterations was adopted.
* % *
The draft was presented to Congress on
the first of July, and for three days was
warmly debated, paragraph at a time. Up
to June 24th Pennsylvania was against the
measure, and Maryland was not won over
until June 28th. The Pennsylvania dele-
gation in voting gave the instrument three
favorable votes and two in opposition.
Two Pennsylvanians were absent. The
document was signed by John Hancock,
President of Congress, and announced to
the world on the afternoon of July 4th. A
month later it was signed hy all the rest
whose names it now bears. The act was
done and the colonies proceeded to set up
State government for themselves, and later
to prepare articles of federation, and to
prosecute a long and burdensome war.
The Declaration is in the hand of Thom-
as Jefferson. It was written from notes
‘made by the committee, which committee
appointed Jefferson and Adams a sub-com-
mittee to transcribe what had heen offered.
Because he was a clever penman, Adams
insisted that Jefferson should put the mat-
ter in manuscript, which was done. While
the whole committee are responsible for
the ideas set forth, the verbiage is Jef-
ferson’s. The changes made from his first
sketch are not material, although some
things were objected to and cut out, and a
few alterations made in what remained.
June Bugs in their Bed.
The special correspondent of the Altoona
Tribune, writing from Chickamauga, says :
‘‘The weather continues very damp ; never
a day passing without a downpour of rain.
The Fifth Regiment camp is situated on
low ground and while the weather was
dry we had the advantage of almost every
other regiment at Chickamauga park. Now
it is different, however, and we are all hop-
ing that General Brooke will allow us to
move to higher ground.
The other night there was a lovely time
at the quarters of the headquarter’s cooks.
About 2 a. m. Chief Bathurst heard some-
thing crawling in the straw under him.
He gave the alarm to Fisher and Thomp-
son, of his staff. Two of the men were on
their feet in a minute, but Thompson, who
is a sound sleeper, remained unconscious
of his danger. He was finally awakened,
and during the rest of the night the three
men reclined on empty boxes. An exam-
ination this morning of the three men dis-
closed the startling fact that Thompson’s
left arm was badly swollen. No mark of
bite or sting was to be found, but the fact
remained that the arm was badly swollen.
The sleeping accommodations of the cater-
ers consisted of a bundle of straw. This
was examined, and it was found that a big
June bug had caused all the trouble.
Thomson feels much relieved, and now the
doctors attribute the swelling of his arm to
rheumatism.

A Vandal for Revenge.
Former Lafayette College Professor in Jail—Con-
fessed to Setting Fire to Pardee Hall.
George Herbert Stevens, until one year
ago adjunct professor of moral philosophy
at Lafayette college, is under arrest in Eas-
ton, Pa., on the technical charge of mali-
cious mischief, and has confessed to van-
dalism about the college, including the cut-
ting of rare and valuable vines, tarring of
the chapel, destruction of the organ, throw-
ing of hymn books into a well, etc. This
was invariably charged to students, but
there was no evidence, and several young
men arrested charged with tarring the
chapel were discharged.
Last Saturday night another attempt at
vandalism was made in the college chapel,
and as a result Stevens is under arrest.
That night a watchman in the chapel was
confronted by a strange man. A scuffle
ensued and the intruder got away. The
watchman reported that he struck the in-
truder on the head. There is a bruise on
Stevens’s forehead to-day. In the door of
the chapel the key Stevens had during the
time he was instructor at Lafayette was
found. In the chapel was found a basket
containing eggs. Stevens’s valise was found
in a student’s room in a hall on the
campus.
A year ago Stevens was dismissed by Dr.
Warfield, president of the college, for re-
fusing to obey instructions. He appealed
to the trustees, who sustained the action of
the head of the college. Then Stevens
came out with an attack on the president,
but it was refused by the local papers.
Steven’s home is at Montrose, where he
owns a farm. He is a Princeton graduate.
When arrested Stevens broke down and
confessed to everything charged against
him. He also revealed plans he had laid
to burn all the college buildings except the
gymnasium. His sole idea, he said, was to
avenge himself against Dr. Warfield for the
loss of his position. He had determined to
burn building after building with the hope
that the president would resign or be forced
out of his chair. Stevens declares he brood-
ed so much over the loss of his position
that his mind became unbalanced, and lit-
tle by little he yielded to the awful desire
to destroy in order to gain revenge. After
he left the college, he says, he went to his
home, but could find norest. He careful-
ly concocted plans to destroy Pardee hall.
On the night of December 17th, he went to
Philipsburg, N. J., across the river from
Easton, in disguise and went to a hotel.
During the night he stole up to College
hill and entered Pardee hall with a key he
had retained when he left the college. He
went to the department of biology, of
which Prof. Davison has charge, and
against whom he had an imaginary griev-
ance, and piled rugs, mats, carpets and
every portable and inflammable article he
could lay his hands on in a heap. Then he
ran a gas burner under the inflammable
collection, turned on the gas and applied
the match. He then went back to Phil-
ipsburg and in the morning took a train
for New York city. He had ample time to
get away from the burning building as the
fire was not discovered for several hours.
Stevens stood at the railroad station and
calmly watched the awful work of destruc-
tion. At various other times later on he
returned to Easton and on each occasion
committed acts of vandalism. His next
intended step was to burn South college,
the chapel building and all buildings ex-
cept the gymnasium, until finally the
whole of the college and its buildings
would be destroyed.
Stevens is very bitter in his denuncia-
tions of Dr. Warfield, and claims that he
was confronted with statements from the
president of Lafayette every time he ap-
plied for a position since he was compelled
to leave Easton, declaring that he was dis-
missed for insubordination. These let-
ters, he says, invariably operated against
him, and he has not been able to secure a
situation for a year. His relatives are
said to be wealthy.
Health in Santiago.
Gen. Shafter May Have a Chance to Emulate
Butler's Cleansing of New New Orleans.
The santiary condition of Santiago de
Cuba is reported very bad. It probably
is. But the Spaniards are interested in
having the situation appear as bad as pos-
sible. It is good military policy for them
to report theirarmy at its best and sanitary
conditions at their worse. This was the
policy of the Confederates when Gen. But-
ler was about to occupy New Orleans.
They caused a partial panic in Butler’s
army by dwelling on the horrors of yellow
fever in previous years, and their represen-
tations led Butler to undertake one of the
greatest works of his life—a work for
which his most violent enemies gave him
full credit.
Butler discovered that the canals from
the river to Pontchartrain had never been
cleaned ; that the lake itself was foul from
the drainage of the city ; that the open
drains of the streets had not been cleaned
for several years ; that there was accumula-
tion of decaying matter near the market
houses, and that sanitary conditions were
not observed even in some of the most aris-
tocratic localities. On the 4th of June,
1862, he issued his famous order for the
cleaning of New Orleans. He was master
of the situation ; he was a dictator permit-
ting no evasion or disobedience, and the city
for the first time in its history was thor-
oughly cleaned under military rule.
Gen. Butler turned the unemployed into
the streets, drains and canals, paying each
man 50 cents a day and rations. He com-
pelled citizens to clean their back yards
and alleys. The punishment for any in-
fraction of his orders was imprisonment.
He succeeded with the help of ‘‘Northers’’
and rain, in cleaning drains, canals and
lake, and in keeping them clean. He put
the city in first-class sanitary condition,
and although yellow fever was brought in
from Nassau, the disease did not spread,
and there was no epidemic there during
the war.
Santiago is 200 years older than New
Orleans, and has about one-fourth the pop-
lation New Orleans had in 1862. It is on
the side of a hill, 160 feet above the bay,
and ought to be easily drained, but has
probably never had a thorough cleaning.
It is probable that Gen. Shafter will be
obliged to do for Santiago what Butler did
for New Orleans, and, by using the idle
men of the city, work a revolution in sani-
ary methods. But, whatever the condi-
tions in Santiago itself, there are locations
for camps near the city where troops may
be quartered under conditions as favorable
as in Florida.
THE HONEYSUCKLE.,
“The clover,” said the humming-bird,
“Was fashioned for the bee:
But ne’er a flower, as I have heard,
‘Was ever made for me.”
A passing zephyr paused, and stirred
Some moonlit drops of dew
To earth ; and for the humming bird
The honeysuckle grew.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
It is the duty of every man who marries
a woman without any source of income to
provide her with a certain allowance for
her own personal use. The amount should
depend on the man’s fortune or salary and
the position the woman occupies in the
world. The matter should be talked over
by them reasonably and sensibly, and the
husband should be made to realize that his
wife is entitled to her independent purse
just as fully as he is entitled to his.—Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.
The average American has no idea how
to dress. It is only here that a woman
will mingle two greys together cheerfully,
under the mistaken impression that be-
cause they are ‘‘both grey’’ they must be
right. ‘Better a contrast than a bad
match,’’ i= a motto which apparently never
enters her head. Isaw a girl tie other
day with six different shades of yellow
combined in one waist. Imprimis, her
blouse was yellow. It was a pretty blouse
enough and fairly well cut, but—there is
always a but—she had trimmed it with
ribbon frills of, I suppose, the nearest
match she could get, and the effect was far
worse than no match at all. Her hat was
a yellow straw plentifully adorned with
yellow chiffon, and the wings adorning it
were of another yellow ; at her throat she
wore a yellow bow, and the lining of her
brown serge skirt was mustard yellow, in,
I presume, the most bilious shade she could
procure. I walked after her for some dis-
tance and longed—yes positively longed—
to say to her: ‘Do get a contrast next
time.”” In contrast to this war of shades
was a charming blue serge just ordinary
English serge, neither better nor worse.
The skirt, a perfectly plain one,
was very long; in fact, though
not trained, it quite touched the ground.
The lining was of a dull heliotrope glace
silk, finished at the edge by a smart little
double frill. The coat, well, the best des-
scription of it is to say that it more re-
sembled a basqued and banded Eton than
anything else. Let me make my meaning
clear. The upper, or coat part was Eton-
like kept in at the waist by a smart band,
fastened by an antique silver buckle. The
basque fitted a merveille. and was without
a suspicion of dullness. It, and indeed
the whole coat, was lined with glace silk,
matching that of the skirt. The revers
were rather narrow ones, much and elabo-
rately braided with black silk military
braid, as were the sleeves and the jaunty
little collar, the latter, by the way, being
so fashioned that it could be worn either
up or down, and looked equally well both
ways.
The vest—for the coat being Etonesque,
necessitated wearing a vest—was of black
chiffon over heliotrope silk, tucked in a
truly wonderful manner when one consid-
ers what exceedingly difficult stuff to
manipulate chiffon is. At the throat it was
finished by an enormous bow, also of black
chiffon, clasped in the centre by a cut-
steel buckle. The hat worn was of dark
blue satin straw, somewhat inclining to
the mushroom shape, though of very mod-
erate size, in front two ostrich tips (black, )
were set either way, and were clasped in
the centre by a similar buckle to that worn
at the throat. At the back the hat turned
up sharply, and bore half a dozen upstand-
ing bows, wired of course, of heliotrope
ribbon.
There was, needless to say, the usual
bandeau, this time at the back, however ;
but it was completely concealed by a huge
bunch of black velvet roses with dull-gold
hearts, like nothing in nature, certainly,
but none the less pretty for that. The
gloves worn were of the plainest shade of
heliotrope, almost white, and daintily
stitched with black. Now can’t you
imagine how plenty of your friends
would have spoiled that serge? Doubt-
less it would have been well cut and well
hung enough, but their vests would have
been one color, their petticoats another, they
would have sported a sailor hat, or maybe
a Panama, trimmed with black satin rib-
bon and quills of the same hue. And I
dare wager, their gloves would have been
the ugliest shade of tan they could beg, bor-
row or buy. Now mind, I am not saying
one word against the Panama or sailor hat
and its trimmings, as a hat. It is not un-
duly expensive, which is in its favor, and
it is neat. which is still more in its favor.
A stylish white dress may be made with
no trimming but the ruffles. Those on the
skirt should be about an inch and a half
in width and should slope gradually up-
ward toward the back. They may cover
the entire skirt or half of ii, or merely
trim She edge. A pretty waist to go with
this skirt has inch ruffles running around
the bodice and half inch ones on the
sleeves. The ruffles on the bodice should
stop at the shoulder and leave a plain
yoke ahove.
One of the sensible fashions is the return
of the hemstitched handkerchief. There is
nothing so distressing as the ragged edges
of scalloped handkerchiefs. All of this
season’s mouchoirs have hemstitched edges.
The inner border of embroidery can be as
elaborate and expensive as desired, but the
welcome hem, with its accompaniment of
open work carefully done by hand, is the
only correct handkerchief for the woman of
fashion.
One of the best home-made floor and fur-
niture polishes come to us from the Japan-
ese. It consists of one pint each of linseed
oil and cold strong tea, the whites of two
eggs and. two ounces of spirits of salt.
Shake well before using. Put a few drops
on a pad of soft silk and rub hard, then
polish with an old piece of silk. The work
is tedious and fatiguing, but the effect is
almost equal to new.
To suit a long narrow face, the hair
should be dressed round, and it is always
best to show a coil or so from the side be-
hind the ears ; also endeavor to fill up the
nape of the neck as much as possible.
For a sharp featured face, always avoid
dressing the hair right at the top of the
crown in a line with the nose, as this so
accentuates the severe outlines. Dress the
hair low down, or else quite on the
top-crown to meet the fringe.
For a round face narrow dressings are
becoming, and can he taken well down the
neck.
For a broad face, narrow dressings are
Preferable, but should be kept somewhat
high.
Exceedingly tall people should keep the
hair dressed rather low and decidedly
round.
Very short ladies can wear their hair
dressed high, as it gives addition to their
stature. .
First and foremost is pique in white and
colors, with red or blue straps on white,
white on blue, and red and plaid gingham
on white. The ready made frocks of pique
are so pretty that no one need wonder how
they sell. They are light in weight and
altogether charming to the average woman,
and shoppers are not angels.
Rust AND WEEvVIL.—Things are not
looking as rosy for the farmers in this sec-
tion as they were a few weeks ago. At
that time Leiter had run the price of wheat
up to $1.50 per bushel, other grain had ad-
vanced in price in proportion, and the out-
look for this year’s crops was as promising
as could be wished. It’s all changed now,
however ; not only has the price fallen to
figures that ought to put to shame that
much boasted Republican prosperity, but
rust and weevil threaten to lessen the crop
to an extent hardly appreciable. In many
parts of the county, the blighting effects of
the weevil is plainly to be seen, while
there is scarcely any section that does not
show positive signs of rust. This later,
prevents the proper filling and ripening of
the wheat, while the weevil completely
destroys all that it attacks. It has been
many years since this last pest got in its
work to any extent in this part of the
state. When it first made its appearance
in 1854 or 1855, it literally destroyed the
wheat crop. For several years following it
did considerable damage, and since then it
has been almost unknown, except in isolated
cases. It is a queer little insect, red in
color, and so small as to be almost indis-
cernible. It puts in an appearance about
the time the kernel begins to form and ac-
complishes its work by eating the heart out
of the grain. As it does not attack the
straw, it is often unnoticed until the crop
is about ready to harvest, consequently the
full amount of damage it causes is unknown
until the harvest is ready to gather. We
hope, however, that the reports of the gen-
eral appearance of rust and weevil are ex-
aggerated, but from the character of the
gentlemen who have made them, we have
every reason to fear that they are all too
true.
Water Ices.
Water ices are inexpensive, delicious and
seasonable. They are a trifle more troub-
lesome to make and require a much longer
time in freezing, but their lesser cost is
more than compensation. The recipe giv-
en is for lemon ice, but with the variations
of alittle less sugar and of different fruits,
it may be used with either oranges, pine-
apples, raspberries, strawberries, cherries
and currents. A sherbet may be made
by adding, just hefore packing the
white of an egg beaten to a stiff froth, into
which has been mixed a tablespoonful of
fine sugar.
To make the lemon water ice, boil for
five minutes exactly one quart of water and
one pound and a quarter of white sugar, to
which has been added the rind of three
lemons and of one orange. Remove what-
ever scum arises and strain the syrup while
hot through a muslin bag. When cool mix
the juice of four lemons and of one orange
with the syrup ; strain a second time and
freeze.
Custard and Blanc-Mange.
Blanc-mange served ice cold with pre-
served fruits and rich cream is delicious.
By making a double quantity, dessert may
be varied the second day by serving it with
a rich egg custard. Custard baked or boil-
ed and floating island are most delicious
desserts. A pretty dish is made by split-
ting stale ladies’ fingers or sponge cakes—
any stale cake may he used --and spreading
them with some tart jelly. Cover with
custard, and on the beaten whites drop tiny
dots of jelly,
A cold rice pudding also makes a very
acceptable dessert, as do baked apples serv-
ed with cream.
