Presuming gome ancient supers! itions to be accurate?and the ancient superstitions in various symbolic and fantastic forms teach a vast deal of common sense and the facts of human nature?let us suppose that the kindly .fates had general control of a birth and that the adverse fates or the infernal furies were allowed to bestow but one curse apon the newly born infant. The kindly fates might bestow stores of blessings?wealth, beauty, talent, genius, strength?and all would be in vain in the bestowal of happiness if the furies were per mitted to curse the new arrival with that peculiar facility for going against the grain of humanity with which many men and a fsw women are afflicted. We have all seen and known the sufferers from this curse. The instincts, tastes, loves and hates, mental, moral and psychological fibres of humanity run to grain as certainly as wood. Some of the people we know run with this grain; others run directly against it always and on all occasions inevitably, with the general effect of drawing a cross .cut file through the teeth. No matter what the tendencies and tastes or the special prejudices of people may be the man or woman cursed with this baleful talent will surely run against them. If we have a particular pet like or dislike, friend or foe, they will disparage or praise ftj JhPMqfl mav be. Thev seem to have been born beneath a planet in opposition. "Whatever position we may chance to take they * ill chance to be opposite, and the more in earnest we are, the more thoroughly our feelings are enlisted, the more certain and offensive their adverse contention will be. People of that kind are doomed to misery, because they are doomed to cause wrath and carry unhappiness. They slaughter friendships and as they go dislikes and crafty traps for their humiliation and punishment spring beneath their feet as flowers grew in the trail of the nice girl in the fairy story. They create a new enemy every day and no fortune or gifts can endure against a constant accumulation of grievances. We meet few people in life who can not at some time?perhaps after the lapse of years and in far places and strange conditions?do us a good or an ill turn. These who are doomed to go ^against the grain of humanity <ncounfcer the ill turn always because they invite it. The naturally accursed in thi3 regard are comparatively few, fortu nately for the world's peace. Too many of us, from carelessness or a sinister, left handed disposition not incurable, fall into the way of going against the grain. We do it with those who are nearest and dearest to us. We ruffl3 and disturb them without cause and persistently aliienate their affection by the daily and hourly sawing, hacking and cutting against the grain with word, act and gesture. Nothing is more pro6 table for aDy of us to study than the grain of the humanity with which we are in contact, no matter how high or low or apparently unimportant it may belt is about as esay to make a friend as an enemy always and we can not at any time or place make a friend who may not at some other time or place be useful; yet too many cf us seem to prefer to make enemies for tie sake of making them For the fortunate people who are born that way, who have the talent for goiDg against the grain and the ineradicable tendency for doing it, we 6hould feel only pity, even while they go against our grain. They are miserable and can not help being so and make others miserable and can not help doing it. For ourselves we should learn some sense from their unhappy example. Going with the grain is always the smoothest cutting. We need not surrender any principle to do it. All of us have known folks who could differ peacefully and pleasantly and other folks who could agree only discordantly and unpleasantly, men who could 6ay "nov so as to make a friend and other men who could say "yes" so wretchedly as to make an enemy of whoever it was said to, no matter how important the favor granted might be. It pays to study the grain of people and to go with it; and to continue to study ii; for we never know exactly when we may strike a koofc. We have read of men and women who have quarrelled, separated and learned to hate each other bitie.ly after forty years of married life and mutual endurance of storms and good weather. The danger of going against the grain is nttver quit? gone 1620 MAIN STRI UDtil the last when the soul has gone out and the peculiarities, prejudices, loves and hates, likes and dislikes, fears and memories so long carried about in the mortal frame have de parted to be judged and accounted for. As we look down into dead faces it is comfortable in any stress of grief or passion of sense of deprivation to feel that we have been at some pains, have given some thought and care, to understanding and respecting all these things and to avoidance of doing or saying anything to cause the racking of nerves and the torture of fibre that come from going against the grain. No enemy we can make or meet in this WUriU C'ilU iiuuuie uo ey wuvu ui wound us so deeply as th8 face of a dead friend on which our own consciences may stamp an aspect of reproach against us. Gov.

Gentlemen:?Your Pe-ru-na, as a tonic, is certainly unexcelled, and in a number of cases that have come under my observation where it has been used for catarrh, or an}' disease which has its origin in that malady, it has been of great benefit. Pe-ru-na has my hearty recommendation, both as a tonic and catarrh remedy. W. A. MacCORKLE Pe-ru-na is a permanent and scientific cure for catarrh.

Either No Annexation or a Bloody War. Hong Kong, Jan.. C.?The newspapers here publish the following 1 dispatch from Iloilo, evidently from a Filipino source: 1 "When the Americans arrived at 1 Iloilo they found absolutely no loot1 ing upon the part of the Filipino force, or conduct of any kind unworthy of civilized people. 4In conformity with their agreement with the Spaniards, the Filipinos entered Iloilo in an orderly manner and formally hoisted the Filipino flag. The Americans found a good government and meeting with the complete approval of the foreign residents. The j po9toffice, customs and other depart- ! ments were working smoothly under the entire control of the Filipinos. This disposes of the allegations of the inclination of the Filipinos to loot and kill. The Filipinos occupied Iloilo on the same humane principle which have guided their actions against their Spanish oppressors." The correspondent add9 that the reports of an opposition republic having been established are refuted by the fact that the governor and general commanding at Iloilo have assured the American delegates from the warships that'they could settle nothing without orders from the national government at Malolos. SITUATION SEEMS GRAVE. Manila, Jan. 6.? A dispatch to the Independencia from Malolos, the seat of the so-called Filipino government, says the governors of all the province! of Luzon have assembled at Malolos for the purpose' of offering their lives and property in adhesion to the policy of the president and government. Continuing, the dispatch says: "They say they fought only for the independence of the Filipinos and are unwilling to surrender to strangers." Commenting upon President McKinley's proclamation to the Filipinos issued on We?*n:sday by Gen. Otis, the Independencia, which is a native paper, says the problem presented is most grave. It admits that there are only two solutions possible, namely, the - Americans' abandonment of their annexation policy, claiming that the people are not desirous of absorption into their nationality, or a prolonged and bloody war. It then cites the example of the "noble patriots of Iloilo defying Gen. Miller" and expresses hope for a pacific termination of the crisis, but bints of trouble. The official organ, The Republican, is less aggressive, but indisposed to accept the suggestions of Gen. _ Otis in their entirety. The Spanish papers are evidently "I afraid to comment on the situation. The California regiment is still on board the transports here awaiting ( orders. $100 Seward $100. !

If it was a proud distinction once to be called a Roman, how much nobler it 9eems to be an American now. America, who battles not for treasure or conquest, and pays a fallen foe for what might be justly claimed, and spares neither treasure or life in defense of the rights of the starving and the oppressed. With such a record her valiant sons and patriotic daughters will teach the rising generation to pity and respect the lives of every living fhing. The tocsin of war sounds no more, and today our beloved Stir Spangled banner floats its protecting folds over millions redeemed from the cruel bondage of ages, and gracefully receives the salute of former enemies, a9 well as friends, and the homage of nations.

Greenville Ngt.<. The army of the United States on a peace footing consisted of 27,00 0 men, all told, and cost $49,000,000 a vear. As we figure, that made each tuari in the army, rank and file, horse, foot, dragoons aad artillery, from general to private, co9t the government a little over $1,800 a year. Now we are to have a standing army of 100,000 men. That seems to involve a cost of $1.80,000,000 a year to begin with. Who is going to pay these bills? On the scale we seem to be going we will presently have an annual budget of two billions of dollars and we are already spending $112,000,000 a year more than we are receiving and have just increased our debt $200,000,000. The people ought to study these figures and the question who is going to pay the bills? "Will the Philippines, the Carolines, Porto Rico and Hawaii do i:? Unless we grind and squeeze and neglect them worse than the Spaniards did they will cost us more than we will get from them for years to come. Then, who will pay? The answer is easy. We will pay. We will pay in taxes on all we eat, drink, wear and use. The dollars will go out of our pockets, and what will we get? Can anybody answer? Will it be glory? Our soldiers and sailors won glory for the American name, but our statesmen and citizens have smirched it sadly.
