The United States commissioner of

illiteracy among the colored people of
Ion years of age and 6ver in 1870 was

was 50. It is believed that, taken as n,

Experts have been looking into the
military features Of postage stamps.
They find that the coloring of the new
half-penny stamp consists of u mix
ture of Prussian blue and a chrome
color, without any lead, arsenic or
other Irritant. The gum is obtained
from Btnrch. It is" decided that the
stamp contains no Injurious substun
ces, "and, therefore, licking would bo
harmless." ' ' "

Misogynists have asserted that love
Is a disease. Xow comes a Frenchman
who has written u book on tho re
lationship of medicine to the mind,'
in which lie discusses with seriousness
tho cause and cure of love. Tho pn
Hent who is taken with tho grand
passion at the wrong time, or who
has fastened hjs aiVeotions upon some
unsuitable object, should, he says, be
treated as u broody lien.

A man in Massachusetts caught a
Bkunk in a trap and threw it, trap
and all, into a "brook, where It was
drowned. In less than two hours
tho odor was distinctly noticed in tho
water of a spring more than u quarter
of a mile away, though no connection
between the stream and the spring
had over been suspected. Tho man

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was born n
day later than Queen Victoria and has
long ranked as one of the world's
grand old women. Sho celebrated her
eighty-first birthday a few dnys ago
in Uoston, and a paper there says;
"Serene and sweet, this marvelous
woman shows no burden of years; the
calm, hopeful buoyancy 'of a youthful
vigor that has made her such a power
in the land is still hers, and she looks
out upon the world's affairs with un
dimmed eyes and optimistic faith."
It Is it lUnrli-NVinlnrt Triilnltiir.
One direction in which the colleges
of tho west excel the larger and more
influential institutions of tho east is
in tho training of thelv students in
public speaking. In spite of a popular
delusion to the contrary, there never
was a time in the history of tho coun
try when the man who is able to
think on his feet and to express his
thoughts eloquently had as much in
fluence as ho has to-day. Sensational
political developments, which are still
frcbh in memory, are sufficient proof
of this assertion.

Wlinn liner War llt-i;iiii.
Chicago, June 12. The price of
wheat Monday was the highest since
October when the lloer war began.
The wheat pit on the floor of the
board of trade was crowded with a
mob of excited traders. Wheat for
delivery to the purchaser in July
sold at 71 cents, three cents higher
than at the close of trading Saturday.
On May 15, July wheat ut the close
of business sold at 00',. In the ad
vance since that date there have been
two factors of the greatest impor
tance. The one first attracting atten
tion was the injury to wheat in Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan and in parts of
Illinois. In these states hessinn fly
ravages made the crop situation the
worst in years. .This distressing con
dition was far along when the lack of
rain in the northwest began to at
tract attention, but it was not till
Thursday that the seriousness of the
situation was fully renlized.
Tim Situation In FamlniStrlnkxii India.
London, Juno 12. Tho viceroy of
India, Lord Curzon, of Kedleston, has
cabled to tho secretary of state for
India, Lord George. Hamilton, an
nouncing that a good rain has fallen
in southern India, that there have
been scattered showers elsewhere and
that the meteorological reporter fore
casts a good but late monsoon. The
hot weather, however, still prevails
and the famine relief situation has
not altered. There are now 5,802,000
persons receiving relief.

Manila, Juno 12. Judge William H
Tuft and his colleagues of the Phil
ippine civil commisiion were beset
during their llrst week in Manila by
a multitude of callers of all nation
alities, professions and interests, wlio
presented a bewildering assortment
of recommendations touching mili
tary and civil policies. The commis
sioners admit that, while they antici
pated an enormous task, the complex
ity and difilculty of the problems and
conditions are well nigh staggering.
Ono of the foremost questions is how
and from what material to organize
a civil force with which gradually to
supercede, the army as a governing
machine. Spain's auxiliary, the
church, is barred from consideration.
American experience with the natives
discourages the hope of honest gov
ernment through them until a gener
ation or more have eradicated tho re
sults of Spain's tutelage.

to tho Filipino Hi-linU.
Manila, Juno 12 (correspondence).
The great store of insurgent docu
ments discovered by Gen. Funston
throw interesting light upon the Fili
pino government. Lint Iiucneamino,
the secretary of state of the Filipino
revolutionary government, who is in
Manila, says none of the really impor
tant secret papers were found. He
says that among the missing papers
was correspondence with foreign gov
ernments and letters from anti-imperialists,
including W. J. Uryan and
Senator Hoar. All of these, he says,
were sent to Hong Kong last Septem
ber for safe keeping in the. hands of
the junta. The purport of the letters
from anti-imperialists, according to
his recollection, was that the Fill--plnos
should adhere to their demand
for independence and they would
eventually be sustained by the Ameri
can voters.

Washington, June 10. Perhaps the
most thrilling and picturesque inci
dent of the entire Philippine war oc
curred at Catubig, on the Islnnd of
Sainnr, where, on April IS, last, a
party of 31 enlist ctl men of company
K, Forty-third infantry, volunteers,
held at bay a force of some GOO In
surgents during four days of fierce
fighting, reinforcements arriving just
in the nick of time. The war depart
ment has received reports from Capt,
II. M. Day, of the Forty-third volun
teer infantry, and First Lieut. J. T.
Sweeney, of that regiment, who com
manded tho rescue party, giving all
the details of tho attack, the siege and
the relief. The story follows:
The attack on tho Kiirrleon began with
out wnrnliin on Sunday mornlnB", April IB.
From tho hills on all stiles, from every
point of vantniTP In the town and from n
deserted church, directly adjoining, cam?,
u rllle and cannon Arc of terrlhlu Inten
sity. On Tuesday tnornlnt; hantlfuls of
burning hemp wore thrown Into tho bar
racks by the Insurgents In the church anil
soon tho soldiers' refuge was on lire. All
efforts to subduo tho nro failed, and, fi
nally, tho little band made n dash for the
river bank. Some wero killed before the
bank was reached, others fell dead In a
boat In which It was Intended to make the
opposite shore, and, when n trench was
finally dug with bayonets, only 1G of tho
3t wero left to man It. Here for two
more days Corporal Carson, handling his
men with the Judgment of a veteran, held
out under a terrible lire until Lieut.
Sweeney's command, which had been or
dered to supplement the garrison at Cat
ubig, and which was on Its way up the
river on the steamer Kao-Attg, arrived.
Not until within a quarter of a mile of
Catubig did they hear the noise of the
engagement. Then ho realized thnt he
and his men wero sorely needed and he
ordered tho captain of tho steamer to run
his hpat at top speed. Tho Lao-Aug
steamed up to Catubig under a rain of
Mauser bullets from both shores. The
Btnall boats wero lowered, a landing ef
fected and the rescuers fought their way
through the open to their besieged com
rades in tho trenches, burled tho dead
within reach, brought back to tho boat
the besieged party, numbering now only
13 men, and then steamed down tho river.

used to have considerable snort. Sometimes
he would lloor them with his repartee.
One day in spring Sambo had been burning
the college green in order to get rid of the
old withered grass. A freshman came along,
and, thinking to have some fun, shouted:
"Say, there, Sambo, you ought not to burn,
that stuff."
"Why?" inquired Sambo.
"Because," replied the freshman, "it'll
make that grass as black as you arc."
"Well, massa," retorted Sambo, "dat'sall
