Though the Spaniards were in possession of the islands for three cen­ turies and more, Spanish had not be-' come the universal language of the na­ tives when the Spanish rule was ter­ minated. There were several different languages and between twenty and* thirty different dialects, and many of the people knew no Spanish at all. pime ha<l simply sufficed to make it 'common near the seats of Government. In such neighborhoods it is now the language of the people, and it has greater claims than any other to be adopted as the language of communi­ cation between the new government :i$lkdthe native population.

Of course charity will be the excuse, but London society will be none the less pleased and relieved for all of that. The Duchess has arranged to give a great fete at Stafford House on June 26, the proceeds of which will go to the Life­ boat Saturday fund, a charity that has suffered considerably since the Boer war began. Tickets will cost $15 each. The number of guests will be limited This year's convention of the Chris­ tian Endeavorers International socie­ ties at Cincinnati will continue for five days, July 6-10.

In all that is said at university com­ mencements this year nothing will merit more serious attention than the references to coeducation wh ch occur in the annual report read by Dr. Bon- fa right at Northwestern. The Evan- ston institution is not one from which we should expect to hear any doubts as to the advisability of the system. It has been thoroughly commi'tei to t and one of its most conspicuaus ex­ emplars. Yet Dr. Bonbright exclaims: Is the system of coeducation in Northwestern Univers'ty still on trial? Perhaps! The facts here, as at Stanford, seem to show that it is a system which can­ not be kept In a state of equilibrium, because the phenomena of the' hi?h schools are repeated at the universi­ ties. The latter tend to become girls' colleges. In ten years, for example, the girls' attendance at Northwestern has Increased from 36 per cent to near­ ly 50 per cent, and this year thre are more young women tvan y un; men in the graduating class. The gen­ eral tendency has been iocr ased by the policy of encouraging gifts for dor­ mitories for the young women in pref­ erence to the young men, and Dr. Bon­ bright suggests that the girls' enroll­ ment should be limited by the capacity of the dormitories.

Dr. George Coughlin, a dentist of In­ dianapolis, has caused something of a sensation among his fellow practition­ ers by declaring that the use of forceps In pulling teeth is barbarous. In hi« own practice he pulls teeth with his fingers, with the* result that the process is almost entirely painless. Dr. Coughlin ex­ plains that he has merely adopt­ ed the old Chinese method, which was described to him by an army officer who was treated by a Chinese dentist during the BOXerln- surrection. Among the Chinese den­ tists forceps are unknown and the Chinaman who suffers from an aching tooth which he wishes removed has no fear or hesitancy in going to have the work done.

Philadelphia V JVefep ttPakener. A useful adjunct to the parapher­ nalia at one of the Philadelphia hos­ pitals is known as "the awakener." This is a wooden paddle about two feet long, designed to restore conscious­ ness to patients who have either taken poison or who have lapsed into a comatose condition from the effect of too much liquor. This little instrument is decorated with such legends as "The way of the transgressor is hard," "Slumber, sweet slumber, nit!" and similar sentences purporting to be in a jocular vein. "The awakener" is used upon the soles of a patient's feet. The shoes and stockings are removed, and then the paddle is applied with full force. Most of the patients respond to this treatment within 10 minutes, but sometimes, where drugs have been used, "the awakener" is kept busy an hour or even longer. eat say tlos o» hl* ia the purple, and mnch to he because he was so In a urn dajnJ* Se»So#id man made a call tte tteee pet* SSaf to play, and got _ trying to entlee th« trio 1st* the game.

UN Ctood Man's XNseavwrta* m ' the Mwi* WMtofc "For twenty-five years John Mulr has made out of doors his realm. For more than half this time he lived and! wandered alone over the high Sierras, through the Yosemite valley, and among the glaciers of California and Alaska, studying, sketching, climbing. At night he sometimes rested luxuri­ ously, wrapped in a half-blanket beside a camp-fire; sometimes, when fuel was wanting, and the way too arduous to admit of carrying his piece of blanket, he hollowed for himself a snug nest in the snow. He is no longer a young man, but when last I saw him he was making plans to go again to the North, to explore the four new glaciers dis­ covered last summer by the Harriman expedition. *What do you come here for?' two Alaskan Indians once asked him, when they had accompanied him as far, through perilous ways, as he could hire or coax them to go. 'To get knowledge/ was his reply*. The Indians grunted; they had no words to express their opinion of this extraordinary lu­ natic. They turned back and left him to venture alone across the great gla­ cier, which now bears his asms. So trifling a matter as their desertion could not deter him from his purpose. He built a cabin at the edges of the glacier, and there setttled to work, and to live, for two long years. He made daily trips over that icy region of deep gorges, rugged descents and vast moraines, taking notes and mak­ ing sketches, jmtll he had obtained the knowledge, and the understanding of the knowledge, that he was after. Mulr Glacier Is the largest glader dis­ charging Into the wonderful Glacier Bay on the Alaskan coast Being the most accessible one in that region, tourists are allowed to go ashore to climb upon Its sheer, icy cliffs, and watch the many icebergs that go tum­ bling down from it This Is a thrill­ ing experience to the globe-trotter, tat to dwell there beside the glacier, to study the phenomena, encounter perils, alone and unaided, is an experience that few besides John Mulr would~ court"--Adallne Knapp In Alnsleefe. ̂ BnM nd Che--. A couple advanced in years got mar- vied lately. The husband had a room In the house securely locked, the in­ side of which his wife had never seen, and, being curious as to its contents she begged again and againtoseethe room. At last he consented, and, lo and behold the room was full of whole cheese! He explained matters by tell­ ing her that for every sweetheart he had In his young days he bought a cheese. His wife began to cry. "Don't cry, dear," he continued. 'Tve had no sweetheart since I met you." "It's not that," she replied, still sobbing, "I only wish I had been as thoughtful as you and bought a loaf of bread for every man that kissed me. We oould have had bread and cheese enough to list us all our days."--London Tit- Blts.
