A Collection of Cases Which Prove Thnt tho Stubbornest Quarrels Are Those' Between Kelatlve?-reople Who Lire Toselher ?nd Tot Never Converse. The other day I heard of a man of the name of George Gould living at New Rochelle, N. Y" Writes W. E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record, tvhose wife has lived in the sn inc house and sat at the same table with him with out speaking to him fer more than twenty years. They were married in 1863, and have four children who are grown' and three of them ore married. About twenty years ago husband and wife quarreled and the latter, becom ing angry at one of his remarks, de clared that she would never speak to him again until he apologized. He ls too. stubborn to apologize and she has become accustomed to silence. They sleep and eat and sit together like other husbands and wives. They drive to town in the same buggy, oc cupy the same pew at church; she mends his stockings, sews the buttons on his shirt and fulfills all the other wifely duties In the ordinary common* place-way, except that of conversa tion, and the husband has become ac customed to the situation by long ex perience. He talks to her without re serve, but when it is necessary for j her tb communicate with him she does so through her daughter. Who lives with them and plays the part ?of a telephone for the old lady. And yet people say. that a woman There ls another and a similar case at Vestal Broome County, N. Y" where two brothers and two sisters named Glenn, all unmarried, live to gether under the same roof, and one of the brothers, John Glenn, has not spoken to either of the rest of the f am-. | ily f~r fourteen years. He is sixty-five years old, a bachelor, and has always lived at home with his brothers and sisters. In 18S6 their father brought from town two suits of clothes for the two brothers, and William, the elder, was allowed the first pick. John be came indignant at this partiality and declared that he would never speak to them again. He has kept his word. I have been told also of two other brothers, John and George O'Brien, who have lived for sixteen years in the same house on Beaver Island, near Harbor Springs, Mich., sleeping in the same bed, eating at the same table and working in the same cooper shop with out exchanging a word. When they ?were boys they quarreled over some trifling Incident and vowed they would never speak to each other again. Since then they have kept their vow, although they are otherwise friendly. Down near Salem, Mass., are two old maid sisters of the name of With erspoon, who quarreled over the seats they should occupy at the funeral of their mother. The elder claimed the privilege of sitting next to the coffin. The younger assented, but when the service began took b/r chair around to the other side so that she sat next to the coffin also, and, as lt happened, on the right side. The elder, Indig nant at being outwitted in such a man ner, vowed that ?he would never speak to ber sister again, and has been stub born enough to hold her tongue. Living near Newburyport, Mass., are two slaters who, in 1879, quarreled over the best method of preserving tomatoes. They separated in anger, both refused to apologize and, al though they live in the same town, they have never made up cr spoken to each other since. Their husbands and families are friendly and visit back and forth daily. Near Rye Beach, N. H., lived a farm er who had two sons, both married and the fathers of families. The three were well known throughout that section of the country and respected for their intelligence, integrity and pi ety. Philbrlck, the younger son, was famous for his fervency in prayer and was always called upon to pray at church meetings and occasions of re ligious ceremony. He also led the de votions at family prayers every morn ing at home. The old man would first read a chapter in the Bible and then Invite Philbrlck to pray. When the angel of death summoned tbe father he called his sons to his bedside and told them that he had made no will because he had confi dence in their brotherly affection and unselfishness. He honed they would always live together in the future as they had done in the past and keep their property in common, but if the time ever came when they thought It best to divide he was confident that they could settle the estate bet weer, them without quar.cling. Tbe old man died about 5 o'clock io the morning, and a couple of hours later, as the household assembled for prayers, according to their custom, Jenness, the older son, took up the Bible and read a chapter, 'as his father bad formerly done. Then when he closed tbe book, be cleared bis throat ahd announced that be would jj?ter prajrer himself.

"This is .the first time that he has had nothing to say about lt," retorted Jenncss, with some temper. "I will lead in prayer." The next morning Jenncss and bis family held their devotions lu one room and Phllbrlck and his family held theira in another, which was thc beginning of ft quarrel that finally in volved the whole neighborhood, and, after numerous attempts at ft settle ment by arbitration, it was found nec essary to sell at auction every inch of ground, every head of live stock, every article ir. household use and every piece of property because the brothers could not agree upon anything. When the auction came they bid against each other fiercely over certain arti cles that both wanted. At the close of the sale each took his own purchases and his share of the money pal l to the auctioneer and went his own way. That was early in the 70s, and, al though they have lived iu the same township and have experienced th; joys and sorrows that con.e luto the lives of men, they have never spoken to or communicated with each other in any way. THE TOMBS OF CHINA. At First Sieht tho Land Looks Like a Ilaire Cemetery. The banks of the hills of thc Ynng tse are sprinkled and clothed with the LumY\r\" or generation, impjLjyDeratiou. Chlna looks like one huge graveyard. Worship of ancestors, observance for' the fathers that begat them, ls tb* great fact of Chinese religion-the only vital point in all the systems of the Flowery Land. Consequently, to dis turb the bones of the dead, except for heavy compensation, is an offense against society of the gravest kind. Miles of country, mostly hills, are given up to the burial of Celestial dead, and none of this ground is used for residence or cultivation. When a graveyard is required, in whole or ia part, for the purpose of foreign trade, or for the extension of a foreign set tlement, a large sum has to be paid to the ascendants or descendants of the corpse, as each grave is leveled, in order that the bones may be transport ed to another resting place. Profes sors of light and air make many taels out of dead men's bones. They tell the family that the Feng-shui of the family grave is of ill omen, and at much cost a new plot of ground Is'pro cured, and the lowest available ledge walled up with a semi-circle of brick, painted white and blue and red. Only then do the patriarchs slumber in their graves. The reinterment of the dead is almost as frequent as the Interment, where, as at Hankow, the "foreign devil" is demanding concessions of land. Any day you may see a family party squatting around a new made grave, to contain all that is left of a lucky ancestor,whose very bones bring dollars to his clan. Of real reverence in all this there Is hardly any. A Chi naman burns his "joss-stick" and pro longs his mourning from months in*-? years, in order that his father spirit may not haunt him, and that the ghosts of those who have gone before may not hover about, without food and raiment, and bring bad luck to him and his. It is all fear of "bad joss." Besides, the Chinaman does as he would be done by, and he ex pects his son, or the son he has adopt ed for the purpose (It ls the .whole purpose of Chinese adoption), to care for his "manes," as he did in his .turc. So both banks of the Yang-tse owe to the Taiplngs and their turbuent pre decessors many thousands of dead men's acres in real mortmain tenure. -London Dally Telegraph. Statistics ol Two American Families. About the year 1720 one Max Jukes was born. Very little ls known about him, but his descendants have man* aged to keep themselves constantly In the eyes of the public. Some expert student of heredity devoted the better part of five years to a study of the family, and located about 1200 of them, every one of whom was either a criminal, r. pauper, an imbecile, or insane. Only twenty of the number ever learned a trade, and ten of the twenty learned trades in a State prison. Twenty years ago his progeny had cost the public more than $1,250,? OOO. In 1703 Jonathan Edwards was born, and the history of 1500 of his descend ants was presented to the American Institute of Instruction, at its meet ing in Halifax, N. S., last week. There were only six criminals in the whole number, and not one pauper or imbe cile. In education, literature, states manship, mining and railroading, law, .medicine and theology the descendants of Edwards have filled the highest ?places. Among their number were 283 college graduates and thirteen col liege Presidents. It may or may not .be true that the law of heredity ls las constant a factor as the law of gravitation, but the vital Interest ot (the general public iq the regeneration of the descendants of Mas and al] bis kind ls shown in theso luminous , ugurss.-Zioa'? ?eeofd, w ? "_ ? ID THE PHILIPPINES IN Luzon Method ?fohn T; Mccutcheon Philippine cor respondent Of the Chicago Record1! writes as follows: It i's t'ery difficult, even here in Manila, to get a compre hensive idea of "the situation in tho Philippines." The most we know is that our troops are scattered over every province in Luzon, as well as in the chief cities of the other islands, and that in Luzon alone there are 210 separate garrisons holding cities and villages Ghd strategic points in the twenty-seven provinces of the isl and. The Filipino method of Warfare has changed from their old, defiant meth ods to a new and more Insidious one, TENTS AND 80LDIERMADE HUTS OP '. 8?LU, OUR SOUTHERNMOST TO that is as much if not more to he feared. Long before Ta riac was taken Ag uinaldo realized that his troops could not 6tand against ours. Even a force numerically much stronger could be driven at will by comparatively small American forces. This was where dis cipline, morale and esprit du corps combined to make the smaller force vastly superior to the larger one, be cause the latter lacked these elements, Soon after this discovery, which he seems to have been long In making, he heard that thc United States was going to increase thc Philippine army to about 03,000, a force that could annihilate him if he contested its ad vance or will. He then Issued, along in October, a proclamation advising many of his followers to retnrn to their Romes, hide their rides nnd await a call at some future time. Others -O^iiu^lf?^ fare in the territory held by the Amer icans at that time, or to be held by them later on. That proclamation, which was un doubtedly forced by the vigorous cam paign Inaugurated nt the time by Gen erals MacArthur, Lawton, Wheaton nnd Young, marked the end of organ ized resistance on a large scale. It will be remembered that Tarlac was SPANISH FILIPINO MESTIZi 6IRL3. taken without a shot, and that our troops occupied in turn all the prov inces of the north with fewer than a dozen fights of any consequence. From that time on It became a foot race after the demoralized bands that were leaving the Tarlac lowlands. There was no established capita), no machin ery of government, no grand army and half the cabinet surrendered or were captured. Officially the revolution was crushed, but General Concepci?n, Aguinaldo's chief of staff, uttered a dissenting opinion which, as since proved, was prophetic. "You think it is over, but it isn't. You have now disrupted the army and scattered Jt far and wide. You have some of the leaders in prison and your troops occupy the whole north coun try. ' But how many rifles have you captured? When you've got the arms, then and only then, will the revolution be over." They have a curious custom nt the Filipino balls. All the girls sit in a row on one side of the room and all the men on the other. When a man wants to dance he goes over across the dead line, selects his girl, and, af ter dancing, delivers her back to her chair. He returns to his own side. There is no chance for any flirtation. The Filipino girls are not flirtatious. On great occasions they always seem to be overwhelmed with a sense of rigid propriety. There are no soft .v-.?...

By ex hibiting Industry In passing things I finally won their friendship and re stored confidence. Everybody his own salt-maker, so the Ilocanoes and Pnngasinans of Northern Luzon believe, and they fol low out the theory in practice, for nearly every family living on the coast of thc great Lingayen Gulf manufac tures snit for home consumption, and sells the surplus to th ? villages of the Interior. In one settlement near Dagupan the occupation reaches the dignity of an SALT MAKING IN NOBTHEBN IiUZON. Industry, and an entire village Is-en gaged in crystallztng the salt out of the earth. The process ls the exceed ingly simple one of scraping ?Ixe salt soaked land of the low coast coun try with a wooden harrow and allow ing the sun to evaporate the moisture until the ground takes on a condition of dry powder. This almost Impalpa ble dust is scraped up in baskets and packed into a narrow bamboo splint woven trough, some six feet long, plastered with clay. Water is then poured upon the dry salt earth by the Jarful, and leaches through, pass ing out by a small tube at the bot tom. The clear water with salt In solution is then boiled down until it crystallzes in an iron kettle built In the top of a clay oven, as seen In the foreground of the picture, which is reproduced from Harper's Weekly. In the south, among the Tagalogs of A FILIPINO BAMBOO BAND. Cavlte province, the process varies somewhat. Every family living on the coast has its own salt-ponds, which, skirted by beautiful bamboo clumps and great mango-trees, make very pic turesque artificial lakes. These ponds are shallow basins, sometimes more than an acre in extent, walled in with a low mud dike, and provided with an entrance sluice, through which the tidal waters may overflow the ground and be penned in. Over the entire surface of these Huts are raised cir cular beds, ten to twelve feet in diam eter, flat on top and a foot in height The salt water of the ocean ls allowed to come in till lt reaches just to the [OST SOUTHERLY POSSESSION OP THE STATES. tops of these circular beds, soaking them through and through. The sun does the rest of the work by rapidly evapora tin g the moisture from them, and the salt appears as a white efflor escence at tho iufttoe, to be carefully scraped off by tho owner. In thia woy they become practically self-feed ing salt-machines of an exceedingly novel character, though the ontput of salt per diem from each bed is very small. Tho native music of the Philippine I lSlander8,nccordIug to Harper's Week ! ly, is rendered almost exclusively on home-made instruments. These are baili of bamboo, tho big horns having j but one note each, while the reed (at ! the left in thc picture) carries the air. CLEAR WATER FOR SOLDIERS.

A LOCOED TOWN, Every Inhabitant of lian ???oe Is as Mad a* a March Jin. c. Indo-Cliliin hoe the only village ot mqdmen in the world. This village*, which is called Ban-Keune, is com posed of some 300 families, is highly organized ns a community, ls In dustrially prosperous and pays yearly n goodly tribute to France. Yet it has not a single sane inhabitant. Admission to Ban-Keune is, It must he confessed, a trying affair. No mere victims of melancholia, or "shat tered nerves." of hyponchondrla or ?ny of the similar ailments so fashion able in the opposite quarter of the world are granted a dwelling place in this most exclusive of towns. To enter it one must be downright mad-or, ns the natives call it, "plpop." The conception of insanity prevailing In this part of thc world is not that of n disease, but of a "possession." Therefore, if an inhabitant of this ie- , gion, ns is frequently the case, d s- | plays hallucinations or conducts him self in a fashion npt consistent with Iudo-Chlnese etiquette his nehhbois take lt upon themselves to determine whether any malign spirit possesses | him-In other words, whether he ls "plpop." This is the way it is done: The unfortunate person, whether it be man, woman or child, who has fallen under suspicion rt "possession" is made the subject of a ceremony on the hanks of the river Namugume participated iii by hundreds of persons gathered together from all the country for miles about The victim's hands and feet are first hound by the native priest, who lg the master of cere monies. Absolutely helpless from this time on, the supposed maniac, in spite of his cries and struggles, is cast into the river. It ls firmly believed by the natives that supernatural agencies then reveal the victim's true state. If he Is genuinely "plpop" he sinks ti the bottom of the river and stays there until he is rescued, revived and for mally committed to the famous village of madmen. On the other hand, if h: is not "possessed" he rises again like au ordinary drowning person to the top of the river, where he is more easily rescued and tuen set free. Probably no secret society, In the world has so severe or dangerous ini tiation ns this. Yet so conscientious ly ls lt performed and so carefully are the half drowned victims .watched and rescued that the immersion, it is said, never proves fntal. Nor hag tlie justice of the performance ever been questioned. So generally topsy-turvy are the con ditions in the Laos, that rortion of In do-Chinn through which the XaniD gume river flows, that only nc of social relnnoirVrartw; J^?- *nrt \ majority of the people lead a solitary life, dwelling at the most in groups, of twos and threes. Ban-Keune, with Jts 300 families, ii, therefore, the most densely populated spot in the country. Its Inhabitants cultivate in their hearts' delight the Idiosyncrasies which have served to commit them. They not only live peacably. but fnll in love, many mid have children, who in most cases are even more eccentric than their parents. Nobody ever recovers or is "dis charged." They remain "plpop" to the end of their days.-Phlladelphla Times. POLITICS AS A PROFESSION. ChlraRO Edncatati Favor tho View That It III a Business. "Shall politics become a profesi?n for wliich young men should undergo training?" This question, asked by President Tucker of Dartmouth col lege, in his address to the graduating class at Hanover, has aroused much discussion among educators and men in public life in Chicago. Dartmouth's president urged that politics should be recognized ns a business, and that young men should bc instructed in college to become politicians. Decided views on the subject are ex pressed by President Harper of the University of Chicago and ex-Judge Thomas A. Moran. President Harper said: "I fully ogree with the president of Dart mouth. 1 certainly would ndvis: young men so inclined to take up politics as a business, with a view to moklng it their life work. I be lieve lt would be a good thing for politics." Ex-Judgo Moran said: "I certainly would advise them to take nu interest in politics, that they may be able In telligently to discharge their duty as citizens. We have too many men in the country now who are professional politicians." A. S. Trude said: "I always main tained when I was president of the school board that pupils In the public schools should be given such instruc tion ns will give them a thorough in sight into political affairs and mnke them intelligent voters. Our business men. most of them, do not under stand our political system beca:'. they never have -been taught it Would I advise young men to go into politics to make a business of it? No, a thousand times, no." Ex-President Henry Wade Bogers of Northwestern university upholds the advice of Dr. Tucker. "In some countries there might be a question as to the wisdom of the suggestion made by President Tucker, but in the ?nited States there will be few who will question the wisdom of his advice to young men to make a calling of politics. It would unquestionably be a good thing for the country If this advice were followed."-New York Times. Lime ami Teeth.
