A Spanish War CritlcUm.
When the Spanish war came upon
us Commodore Dewey was at Hong
kong. The navy department had sent
htm no preliminary orders. He didn't
know anything about the ultimate pol
icy or what the ultimate plan of cam
paign would be. The navy department
didn't itself know. Dewey should
have moved two or three days sooner
than he did, and two or three days
tometimes are vital. But our Wash
ington officials were only aroused to
the necessity of giving Admiral Dewey
an order by u cablegram from Dewey
informing them that the British gov
ernor of Hongkong Insisted that our
fleet must leave there. We were so
dazed by the immediate exigencies of
war that the English government had
to prod us In the ribs to wake us up.
Then our Washington authorities is
sued an order and not till then. They
told Dewey to proceed to the Philip
pine islands and capture or destroy
the Spanish fleet. In other words,
they gave him the stereotyped war or
der in the phraseology of the signal
code, which, literally translated, read:
"Go ahead and do the best you can.
We give it up."—Collier's.
The Silver Thread.
A matron in Harlem was calling
apou another matron in Harlem. Nei
ther was young, but one looked
more so.
"Really, ruy dear," said the one that j
looked more so. "you ought to have j
your hair treated, it's becoming quite |
gray in spots. See what a difference j
it lias made with me. You would look |
much younger really."
"But 1 don't care to look much j
younger If 1 must dye my hair to do
so," was the reply. 'I prefer to lie
.natural. If the Lord sends me gray
hair there's a good reason, and I'm sat
isfied."
"But think of your children, ray
dear. They're grown up now."
"What have they got to do with it?" |
"Why, don't you see? The younger
you look the younger it makes them
appear. And your girls are way past
twenty, you know."
The matron who was gray in spots
was still looking dazed when her vis
itor departed.—New York Globe.
Costly Law Robe*.
An English Judge's outfit in the way
of robes Imposes a heavy tax upon the
newly appointed judge, although the
cost Is not nearly so great as It was
in the early days of Queen Victoria.
Then it was the custom for the law
luminaries to attend court functions
in figured damask silk gowns, with
costly lace bands and ruffles. Thesi
ger, a celebrated legal dignitary of
that day, is said on one occasion to
have spent £IOO on bands alone. The
lord chancellor's robes cost something
like flso, and even a judge's stockings
are an expensive Item. The wardrobe
:>f a judge costs anything from £SOO
to £OOO, and if the newly fledged "my
lord" Is attached to the king's bench
division he will require Ave gowns, a
girdle, a scarf, a casting hood, a black
cap, a three cornered cap, a beaver
hat. a cocked hat, n silk hat, lace
bands and two full court suits, swords,
etc., to keep up the majesty of the
law. -London Olobe.
What They Said.
"Did the girls say anything when
they heard of my engagement?" she
asked, with a little curiosity.
"Very little," was the reply of her
dearest friend.
"But they said something?"
"Oh. yes; they said something."
"Well, what was it?"
"Well, most of them merely ex
claimed, 'At last!" "
There was a pause, and then she
asked;
"Well, what did some of the others
say?"
"One of them said, 'Who'd have
thought it?' Another, 'Will wonders
never cease?' And a third"—
"Oh. never mind the rest," inter
rupted the fiancee. "I never did have
much curiosity."
Was He Delirious?
"Almost every man."says a Balti
more specialist, "learns sooner or lat
er to think of his doctor as one of his
best friends, but this fact does not
hinder the world from laughing at the
profession.
"'How is our patient this morning?'
asked a physician, a fellow graduate
of mine, of a patient's brother.
" *Oh, he's much worse,' came from
the other in a tone of dejection. 'He's
been delirious for several hours. At "
o'clock he said, "What an old woman
that doctor of mine is!" and he hasn't
made a rational remark since.'Lip
plncott's.
A Rising Fall.
A certain member of the British
government who was admittedly a
great failure was being discussed by
two of his colleagues.
"And now," concluded one, "they
want to make him a peer!"
"No," said the other, with greater
acumen; "they want to make him dis
appear."

Hotel Grafters.
The proprietor of one of the largest
hotels in New York, speaking of the
uses made by nonpaylng customers of
his house, said to a rural guest a few
days ago; "We have a large number of
patrons from whom we never collect
a cent, although we have no such
thing as a free list. They come here
In the morning, pick up a castoff pa
per, which they read, keeping an eye
open for another, which they grab as
soon as It is dropped. After reading
awhile they stand at tie ticker, often
giving long lectures to their fellows on
financial conditions and stock possi
bilities. The overcoat becomes burden
some, and it is taken to the check
room, where its owner knows it will
be perfectly safe. Then, if they can
tear themselves from the ticker, let
ters are written on our stationery.
They do not use our telephones be
cause we charge an extra 5 cents for
the call, but they carry home matches,
toothpicks, blank cards and blotters
and use up the soap in our lavatories.
They also take generous nibbles of
the cheese and crackers in the cafe.
The strangest part of nil is this—that
the majority of this class are well to
do and highly respectable, and on that
account we do not shut them out."—

The Sleeping Sickne s.
The terrible sleeping sickness of
tropical Africa is discussed at length
In an article in Popular Mechanics.
The disease, which long baffled scien
tists, is spread by the tsetse fiy, a
bloodsucking, day flying insect. On the
approach of either man or animal at a
river crossing in the densest forest
the victim is soon scented out by the
fly, if there is one in the vicinity, and
then, either silently or with a peevish
buzz, it makes straight for the most
accessible spot and gives its stub.
The usual course of the disease is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are headache, a feverish
condltou, lassitude uad a correspond
ing disinclination to work. The factal
aspect changes, and a previously happy
and intelligent looking negro becomes
instead dull, heavy and apathetic
Later, tremor in the tongue develops,
speech is uncertain, and mumbling,
walk shuffling r .d progressive weak
ness, drowsln./»s and oblivion to his
surroundings afflict the sufferer. The
last stage is marked by extreme ema
elation and a coma deepening Into
death
tnrst Tramp You won't get nothing
decent there; them people Is vegeta
rians. Second Tramp—ls that right?
First Tramp—Yes, and they've got a
dog wot ain't—Philadelphia Inquirer.
There is more Catarrh in this sect
ion of the country than all other dis
eases pnt together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Cat
arrh Cure,manufctured by F. J. Chen
ey & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

fulfills almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,

effects following use of liquor, wine or
