Charity and Charity has raised the question as to whether or not the estab lishing of cotton mills in a community ia in keeping with the spirit of educa tion. We think there is more than one point of view from which to con sider the question. We do not see very dearly why a community should be pronounced, un progressive education- uM3 beKuige ii builds cotton factories and fosters necessary industries, there by keeping at home much money of our people which has for a long time been going to New England. Admiral Dewey is to bring suit for the spoils of his Manila victory. He will claim the spoils from the yessels sunk under his command. The claims he will make will be, in accurate num ber?., $750,141.89. If he shall sncced in recoyewng the half of it, those who resisted the call to contribute money to build him a home will feel more than ever that they did right. But Admiral Dewey, as we have written in i his column before, will never have cause to leel alarm at hi3 pennilessuess ia old age. The lynching oi five Italians at Tal hilah, La., a few days ago may be the means oi trouble between Italy and this country. One of the Italians' oats had so troubled a Dr. Hodge that the latter had shot a goat. The I talian, whose goat had been shot, - at tacked Dr. Hodge while passing the Italian's shop and four other Italians joined in thj murderoua assault. Dr. Hodge was shot in the hands and ab iomen. . The Italians were all arrestedT and the plot for Dr. Hodge's murder eemed so clear, trio people seized the Italians, took tnem from the Sheriff acd jailer and lynched them by hang ing. It was all done in a short time. It was unfortunate and the lynching was a serious mistake. And still the war drags oa in the Philippines. There ia a great difference between the attitude of the people of this country now and a year ago con cerning the war. Then, all was anxiety and interest ; now, no one seems to give much heed to the matter. The papers report a fight occasionally, but really there is room for doubt whether or not we know here the real state of af fairs over there. The people would be ioH f.-ir hostilities to terminate. The llfcVh VS report comes that there are three thou sand sick soldiers in our hospitals and camps in the Philippines. This is sad news and many a heart in this country beats with sorrow for suffering of loved ones far away. And many mere are who cannot see any cause for the con tinuation of the life-sacrificing struggle. Col. Kobert G.

GBOSVENOE DA WE. Written for The Commonweatlth. ,Tne New Man-Spiritual. With hie brow fanned by the dawn-breeze of the p.w eentury, the new man faces the light and puts behind him the centur ies of black bigotry and burdensome superstition that have made man's struggle towards spiritual light' seem a cruel nightmare. The new man spiritual, declares im favor of a spirit ual explanation ot man's diversified powers and deeds, but at the same time he denies the right ot any one man or any set tf men to claim that those spiritual powers can be classified, label ed and cribbed into one form of be lief or into one pre-ordained mode of development. He admits this much pre-ordination that as Burely as the waters of a river gain in yolume as they flow and glide onward to the depths and breadths of the sea, so sure ly shall man develop in his spiritual experience onward from darkness and upward from material forms and cere" monies until he finds the power at the centre ot all things to be the truth of all things. Yet, filled with tender re gard for those who cannot see as he does, he contends for freedom of thought because all are not equally de veloped in spiritual understanding ; for as with the river so with the stream of human life, the drops that aio riven In the furious mountain torrent know not yet the full breadth to which they shail arrive and so do not even imagine it. The New Man Spiritual, sees nothing to be dreaded in the fuller knowledge that has come to us of how the worlds are and why they swing their circles with infinite accuracy. The more the discoveries the greater the advance away from the puzarins of the savage toward a knowledge that is more exact and that, being more exact, makes the creator of all things seem more wonder- ul and more adorable. The new man does not dread the gropings of scientists among the secrets of life and he welcomes every new fact that makes us understand the oneness of life a its material aspects throughout the ranks, in myriad forms, of all things that live. The law of evolution and the law that fixes species do not make him dread the dethronement iny hu man minds of a creator, blessed foreyer and in and over all. The more he knows the more certain does it seem that naught but an almighty power could have brought life to the surface of a planet whose elements were gath ered in the unimaginable heat of nebu-1 ous vapor : and the more certainly will be credit to the interposition of that almighty power the fact that human beings have within them a something tnat sets them above the other forms of life. The New, Man Spiritual, looks out over this great world and back along all the ages of struggle and of effort, and he claims for all the striving sauls ot men in whatever degree they have understood their superiority to the! beasts, a share in the spirtual progress of the race. He venerates as part of the spiritual history of the world every form ot belief, no matter how weird and unreasonable it may seem to us ; for he sees in it a proof of the reaching up of a soul to the understanding of a God. Loosing out with the .. unbiased eye of hopeful judgment he sees at work a gieat law of spiritual evolution, bringing the perfect light into evidence as a result 01 the glimmerings of spirit ual insight when they first began to show upon the horizon of the human mind. The new man spiritual, is ready to declare that a belief marvel ously remote from his one'is different only nfdegree and not essentially in kind. The new man, therefore, thrills with the sense that not one man but all men, that not one tribe but all tribes that not one generation but all genera tions are sweeping forward in one to wards truth ; and believing this in his soul be can be patient amid disappoint ment and self-possessed amid discords. The New Man Spiritual, denies that there ever has been bo far a time when the human race or any part ol it has understood in full the power or the will of the almighty centre of things. He, therefore, holds that all religious sys tm simply take their places as step pmg stones for the progress of the race t but as tnat progress jib Bwntlw iTha KiMToaHattuwajs A yet ceased, so no system elaborated in the partial darkness of the human soul has eyer yet been more then a stepping stone. He contends for the reasonable ness of this position because a system made up with human elements only represents spiritual truth crystahzed into the human ideas of the time, and as a consequence no sooner is a system formulated than it begins to grow old ; yet every truth buried in a creed soon er or later bursts the bands ot death, lays aside the grave clothes, and comes forth again to live. The new man spiritual therefore, is full of the in spiration that comes from feeling per fect knowledge to be nearer to us now than it has ever yet been in the history of the race. Also he cares but little for himself as to whether perfect knowl edge shall come during the temporary span of his material life, or whether its full glories shall be understood when the spiritual is no longer clothed and hampered and drawn back by the phys ical. His only care is that as he gains light he shall give light, and that as he rises into the clear atmosphere above the darkling canyons cf human wretch edness he shall lift others with him. Thus is he happy in getting simply that he may scatter again. - The New Man Spiritual loves all who love truth. Truth is his meat and his drink and in the strength of it he goes forward. He binds none. He forces none. Neither will he be bound nor forced. For all men of minds he hopes ah things and is serene. Talk to Your Horse. Horse World. Some man, unknown to the writer hereof, has given to the world a saying bat sticks : "Talk to your cow as you would to a lady." There is a world of common sense In it. There is more ; there is good sound religion in it. What else is it but the language of the Bible applied to animals : "A soft an swer turneth away wrath." A pleasant word fo a horse in ticie of trouble has prevented, many a disaster where the horse has learned that pleasant words mean a guaranty that danger Irom pun ishment is not imminent. a One morning a big, muscu'ar groom said to his employer : '"I can't exer cise that horse any more. He will bolt and run at anything he sees." The own er, a small man and il! at the time, ask ed that the horse be hooked up. Step ping into the carriage be drove a cou ple of miles, and then asked the groom to station along the road such objects as the horse was alraid of. This was done and the horse was driven by them quietly, back and forth, with loose lines slapping on his back. The whole se cret was in a voice that inspired confi dence. The man had been frightened at everything he saw that he supposed the horse would fear. The fear went to the horse like an electric message. Then came a punishing pull of the lines, with jerking and the whip. Talk to your horse as to your sweetheart. Napoleon's Memory. Selected. Napoleon I. had an extraordinary mind. He appeared never to forget anything he cared to remember, and assimilated information as the stom ach assimilates food, retaining only the valuable. An incident will illustrate this remarkable quality of his mind. When forming the "Code Napoleon" he frequently astonished the Council of State by the skill with which he illustrated any point in discussion by quoting whole passages from memory of the Soman civil law. The Council wondered how a man whose whole life had been passed in camp came to know so much about the old Roman laws, n many, cue or tnem asuea mm how he acquired this knowledge. "When I was a- lieutenant," Napo leon replied, "I was once unjustly placed under arrest. My small prison room contained no furniture except an old chair and a cupboard. In the latter was a ponderous volume, which proved to be a digest of the Roman Law. You can easily imagine what a yaluable prize the book was to me. It was so bulky and the leaves were so covered with marginal notes in manu script that had I been confined a hun dred years I need never have been idle. When I recovered my liberty at the end of ten days I was saturated with Jus tinian and the decisions of Roman leg islators. It was thus I acquired my knowledge of the civil law." Atjthis season of the - year there are always many deaths, particularly among children, from summer com plaint, diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera morbus, cramps, etc., and every one ought to know that a sure and speedy cure can easily be obtained by taking Perry Davis' Pain-Kiixer in sweet ened water every half hour. It never fails. Avoid substitutes, there is- but one Poin-Killer, Perry Davis'. Price 25c. and 50c. - THE GREAT UNIVERSE. ITS WONDERFUL MYSTERIES. Some Grand Lessons to Learn. Virginian-Pilot. The effort to comprehend even the mere boundless magnitude of the uni verse and its ever expanding length, breadth and depths makes the brain reel and shudder. He who allows his mind to dwell upon the problem and to venture further into spaee, -has to recall it in panic baste, with an awful sense that it was 4n imminent danger of falling into unfathomable abyss beyond all possibility of return. For all that, nevertheless, infinity and eternity are cognizable to our lim ited intellects ; for, if they are reliable as far as they can go (aad we must as sume them to be so, or abandon all at tempts to think, or reason, or believe), then infinity and eternity are necessi ties of space and time, for if we can neither measure nor explore either, ail the more are we incapable of fixing or imagining a bound to either. It is with respect to space and time as with a sum in division which carried ad in finitum still has a sum in remainder ; for space and time, pursued in any di rection ad infinitum each have a limit less beyond that appeals to research and computation. We understand at once how small a part is our solar system oi one stu pendous whole. And our world this earth is but one of the smaller attendants, or planets attached to the sum. The starry host visible to us tit night still minimize and depreciate thia paltry globe, and what we see in the heavens at immense distances, tells us of innumerable stars and worlds be yond of which these visible ones are but the outskirts; and astronomy, with all its means and appliances to boot, tells us that all its explorations, calculations and science but confirm the existence of thronging spheres on spheres in innumerable multitude throughout ail space, whoso . length, breadth and depth surpass all measure as they do all conception. As space is an Infinity, without beginning, end, or any limit, so is time and eternity, backward or forward, without begin ning, end, or any limit. What is the lesson of all this? Is itto exalt creatures who exist in this corner of the grand and terrible uni verse, on an insignificant clod of earth? Is it to teach them that they may do as they please with impunity, sure of being overlooked in so stupendous a scheme? Nay, verily; neither of these is taught by these sublime and magnificent surroundings, with their grand movements and illimitable ex tent. , It is humility we should learn from these environments a meek docility that should see that if the safety and prosperity of our solar sys tem and of our own planet", are secured and maintained by perfect order and never-failing obedience to the laws of nature, we poor mites must, to the measureof our feeble ability, con form to the divine order, alone capable of instituting and sustaining the im mensity of the universe and its works, and earnestly seek to follow the laws that make that order and that apply to our own safety and prosperity here and hereafter. It does not become pigmies like us, in the presence of such magnitude and might to be disorderly and sedi tious, scoffers and sorcerers, because we have been endowed with a reason which should make us all the more grateful to the Creator . and Ruler ol all things, and the more ready to serve Him in carrying out His laws and purposes. Under the circumstances our treacherous and unfaithful con duct exhibits a lack of decency that is a lack of proper sense, and proves that if in our willfulness and vain egotism, we are not arrant knaves, we can' hard ly be more than born idiots.

Henceforth, smokeless rowder will be exclusively used in civilized war fare, not only for the rapid firing ar tillery, but also for the new rifles which the Infantry will use in the field. In the manufacture of this powder distilled spirits play a promi nent part, thus opening up a new and quite extensive market for American corn. The fact is one that can not fail to interest the farmer, as all civilized nationsTiow use this powder, but this country alone grows the the corn. In the light of these facts the preparation ofBreat Britain, and the constant ru mors of a great European war, take on a local and personal interest for every Western corn grower. An extensive war among the great European nations would have a marked effect upon iIk market for spirits and corn, and as ttie whole world is to a large extent depen dent udoii Americafor this ingredient ol smokeless powder, and as this powder is a necessity in warfare, it Uad at any price. must be The Tables Turned. New Orleans Picayune. One pleasant sprinc: day, a number of years ago, a farmer living in the foothills of the Cat-skill mountains c!e eided that as he had -been working very hard for the few weeks preceding the time oi our story, preparing hit ground for the early crops he would take a little time for recreation and improve it by a run though the forests with his dog and gun. Accordingly, about nine o'clock on the day men tioned, he shouldered his gun and am munition, and, calling his dog, oil they started. They had not penetrat ed the forest very far when the dog started a rabbit. "Bang !" spoko the gun, and the little creature fell dead. A littte farther on the man saw a pretty gray squirrel sitting on the limb of a tree, nibbling at a nut, ali unconscious of danger and he shared the same fate. Thus they proceeded killing everything in the shape of bird or beast which they encountered, un til about noon, when becoming tired and hungry, the man sat down under a large tree with his dog at his feet and the gun lying beside him and proceed ed to eat, throwing the bits and bones to the dog. While thus engaged he fell asleep and his mind reversed the order of things and he had a dream which taught him the cruelty of what be had before thought sport. He dreamed that while he and the dog were asleep a company of bears stole up and, seeing them there, decid ed to go hunting themselves. One bear took charge of the dog and held him so that he could not' get away ; another little bear took his large hat, and sitting down with It between hie feet, explored the Inside, and the big gest bear of all took the gun and goine off a little ways pointed it at the man. who, not stirring, another bear came and lifted him up to a standing posi tion while the big bear was still point ing the gun at bim and trying to pull the trigger. He frit himself tremble with fear, his legs refused to support him and the tears laughed aloud, they were so amused at Ins plight. All at once the big bear succeeded m pulling the trigger, and the gun went off with a bang, which awoke him from his troubled sleep. He started up in great alarm, but great Leads of perspiration were rolling down his face, and he could hardly realize that the dream had not been true. After this experience he could take no more pleasure in hunting, for he imagined he knew how the animals felt when hunted, and he went home to relate his adventure and to say that he had resolved never to take life again for amusement.
