LOVE OF FIGHTING. eemr to Be Inborn In the Aver age Human Being. e are all fond of fighting—that is, all love to look at a fight, and some is like to be in a fight. But we aii to see one. There are some super tietic and hyper refined humans of 1 sexes who think they do not like ree a fight. Some of them actually eve they are sincere. But deep vn in the average man and woman love of fight exists. It is ingrained; s congenital; it is in the human ba- When he screams, squalls and ks if his will is thwarted, he is fight lo with the same baby when, grown into a boy, he pulls his little sister’s r. It is partly, perhaps, the love of hting and partly, perhaps, the love of mg pain, for cruelty also seems to part of the makeup of the human imal. After little brother has fin led pulling little sister’s hair and she s dried her eyes she soothes her junded feelings by pulling off flies’ mgs .or legs or pinching the cat’s tail ;der a rocking chair. Of the higher ghts of juvenile cruelty to which her other rises when he ties two cats to other by their tails over a clothesline, here they fight till nothing is left but ieir tail tips—of these familiar facts e will not speak. When brother goes to school and then college, whether it be to the English public” school or to the American oublic” school, resembling each other aly In name; to the academy, to the reparatory school, to the university, * speedily becomes past master in cru *ty. In most of these institutions he mst fight. Hazing exists in every col *ge In the country. Even the United Itates government cannot stamp it out t West Point and Annapolis. In both hese institutions fist fights under prize ing rules are of almost daily occur ence. They are masterful battles, and Jiey have not a little to do with mak g stout hearted, stalwart fighters of >ur army and navy officers. To those irtio object to these battles the unan swerable reply is that the boys are Tiere to learn to fight and that the way learn to fight is to fight.—San Fran rtaco Argonaut. WAYSIDE WISDOM. Opportunity is the cream of time. Self conquest is the greatest of vic ories. The more you say the less people re nember. A mother’s tears are the same in all languages. Good breeding is a letter of credit all >ver the world. It is more profitable to read one man han ten books. A man cannot go where temptation annot find him. "People ruled by the mood of gloom ittract to them gloomy things. A fault which humbles a man is of nore use to him than a good action r hich puffs him up with pride. In the conduct of life habit counts or more than maxim because habit is living maxim and becomes flesh and istinct. —Detroit News-Tribune. The “Czar” Went to Bed. A foreign nobleman who, if report peaks true, is somewhat henpecked in ited some men a night or two ago to .ay cards in his house. The meeting 'as a convivial one, and all went nerry as a marriage bell.” It grew ite, and fears were expressed by the irty that they were trespassing upon \e kindness of the mistress of the juse, who, by the way, was not pres it. “Not at all, gentlemen; not at all. lay as long as you please. I am czar *ie,” said the master of the mansion. “Yes, gentlemen, play as long as you ease,” said a silvery voice, and all ise immediately as the baroness stood fore them. “But as it is after 1 clock the czar is going to bed.” He ent Wanted a Sure Thing. An English professor of mineralogy 11s a good story about a certain big nglish commercial magnate. He says tat the great merchant in question me to him to consult about the in •uction of the hopeful son and heir ho was some day to run the vast isiness interests from which “the ter” had made his wealth. “But mind you,” said he, “I don't int him to learn about strata or dips • faults or upheavals or denudations, id I don’t want him to fill his mind ith' fossils or stuff about crystals, hat I want him to learn is how to ;j.d gold and silver and copper in pay \ quantities, sir—in paying quanti s.

GARDENS OF THE ALCAZAR. One of Their Greatest Charms Is the Apparent Lack of Cultivation. The garden of the Alcazar is one garden composed of several, each open ing into the other by steps descending from a terrace or through arches in marble or living green. ; All the gardens are surrounded with wonderful hedges of myrtle, juniper or box. If the gardens of the Alcazar should be stripped of all but their! hedges, palm trees and magnolias,; they would still be most wonderful. In! some places Avails about eight feet ini height separate the gardens, andl against these walls are trained orange and peach trees, with a tangle of jas mine and roses climbing among them as they will. In fact, the flowers grow in such careless and natural profusion and there is seemingly so little cultiva tion that one might almost think the hoe of a gardener had not A'isited the place for a hundred years. This very carelessness was one of the greatest charms of the place and added to the effect of age that clung to everything. Modern gardeners would stand aghast at such apparent neglect. I recognized that the very lack of modern care was artistic and suitable and yet wondered, if the place were mine, whether I could forbear the use of shears, trowel and hoe. The hedges were trimmed. These, with some or ange trees growing in a solid mass of green along some fifty feet of palace wall and reaching to the very roof, alone bore signs of the gardener’s shears. The flower beds were of intricate shapes, filled with a tangled mass of flowers and always surrounded with box.. And such box! My heart sank within me when I thought of the box in my garden at home, where not even a hundred mild winters and a hundred rainy summers could give growth like the smallest of that at the Alcazar. The bouquet that Is considered in Se ville as a model of beauty and elegance was to our eyes a most hideous thing. In shape like a pyramid, about four teen inches high, it was formed by fas tening a magnolia bud to the top of a smooth, round stick and then winding flowers tightly around the stick, each succeeding row becoming larger, so ♦hat at the bottom the bouquet was probably two feet around. It was a frequent sight to see two men carrying a pole between them with from six to a dozen of these bouquets swinging, heads down, from the pole.—Scribner’s. Puzzled His Tutors. Lord Avebury, better known as Sir John Lubbock, was a naturalist even as a schoolboy at Eton. In his day there, however, the instructors cared for nothing except the classics and were ignorant of natural science. In his autobiography Lord Avebury says: “At that time Eton boys, especially if they were quick at writing verses and learning by heart, had much more lei sure than they have now. I devoted a good deal of mine to natural history and geology in spite of the remon strances of my tutor, who thought that it might have been better occupied on tbe classics. On one occasion we were given ‘The Bee’ as a subject for a theme. I took some pains with it, and my tutor sent for me and asked mo confidentially whether it was all true. F’-om what he said I inferred that they rather suspected I was quizzing them and doubted whether to com mend or to flog me.” Cats Fond of Olives. “I have often wondered if all cats like olives,” remarked a woman who Is very fond of the feline tribe. “All mine do, and I have six. Olives are usually an acquired taste with the hu man race, but cats seem to take to them naturally—at least mine do. An olive will set any one of them into par oxysms of joy. They will leave milk or fish or any other article of food for it, purring aud rolling over it much as though it might have the intoxicat ing effect of catnip before they finally eat it.have often tried olives ou other cats in the houses of friends and have found them equally appreciative, only they prefer their olives cut up in to pieces.”—Philadelphia Record.

MARCH 17. A WASHINGTON LETTER Missive of First President Found by a Librarian. WAS OPPOSED TO KENOMHATIOH. Manuscript Written In 1793 Telling About His Desire to Live In Re tirement on His Farm Was in earthed In Columbia University Llj brary—lt Was Directed to Alexan der Hamilton. \ Dr. James H. Canfield, librarian of Columbia university, while examining some old manuscripts recently, discov ered an original and hitherto unpub lished letter of George Washington, says the Ne w York Post. The letter is addressed to Alexander Hamilton and bears the date of Aug. 28, 1793. It is written on a single large sheet in Washington’s characteristic hand. The manuscript is in a remarkably good ■tate of preservation, there being few evidences of disfigurement or discolor ation. After commenting upon the loss of a watch by a British officer, Wash ington compliments Hamilton upon his political papers which had appeared over the signature of Publius, and in response to an inquiry of Hamilton, probably in regard to his acceptance of a renomination for the presidency, he expresses his desire to pass the rest of his life in retirement. The letter follows: Mount Vernon, Augt. 28th, 1793. Dear Sir: I have had the pleasure to re receive your letter dated the 13th—accom panied by one addressed to General Mor gan. I will forward the letter to General Morgan by the first conveyance, and add my particular wishes that he would com ply with the request contained In It.—Al though I can scarcely Imagine how the watch of a British officer, killed within their lines, should have fallen Into his hands (who was many miles from the scene of action), yet, If it so happened, I flatter myself there will be no reluctance or delay in restoring it to the family. As the perusal of the political papers un der the signature of Publius has afforded me great satisfaction, I shall certainly consider them as claiming a most distin guished place in my library. I have read every performance which has been printed on one side and the other of the great question lately agitated (so far as I have been able to obtain them), and, without an unmeaning compliment, I will say that I have seen no other so well calculated (in my judgment) to produce conviction of an unbiased mind, as the Production of your Triumvirate. When the happiest circum stances and fugitive performances which attended this crisis shall have disappear ed. that work will merit the notice of Pos terity; because in.it are candidly dis cussed the principles of freedom; the top ics of government, which will be always interesting to mankind so long as they shall be connected in Civil Society. The Circular letter from your Conven tion, I presume, was the equivalent by w’ch you / obtained an acquiescence in the proposed Constitution. Notwithstand ing I am not very well satisfied with the tendency of it; yet the Federal affairs have proceeded, with few exceptions, in so good a train, that I hope the political machine may be put In motion without much effort or hazard of miscarrying. On the delicate subject with which you oonclude your letter, I can say nothing; because the event alluded to may never happen; and because, in case It should oc cur, it will be a point of prudence to de fer forming one's ultimate and irrevocable decision, so long as new data might be afforded for one to act with the greatest wisdom and propriety. I would not wish to conceal my prevailing sentiment from you. For you know me well enough, my good Sir, to be persuaded that I am not guilty of affectation when I tell you it is my great and sole desire to live and die in peace and retirement, on my own farm. Were it ever indispensible, a different line of conduct should be adppted; while you and some others who are acquainted witli my heart would accfuit, the world and Pos terity might probably accuse me of incon sistency and ambition. Still I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain (what I consider the most en viable of ali titles) the character of ait ,honest man, as well as prove (what I desire to be considered In reality) that I am, with great sincerity & esteem, Dear Sir, Your friend and Most obedient H’ble Ser G. WASHINGTON The Honble Alex. Hamilton Esq. TO FIX COLOR AT BIRTH. Indiana Doctor Will Use Red Light to Make Negro’s Pigment Fade. Hoav to make a negro baby white is tbe problem on which Dr. Jacob \Y Hill of South Bend, Ind.,has been work ing and which he believes be will solve soon by an experiment at a hospital in South Bend. His plan is, in brief, to keep the child excluded from all light except red rays, says the Chicago Rec ord-Herald. Dr. Hill, who is a leading physician and surgeon of South Bend and has a reputation as a physiological expert, is assisted in his investigation by Dr. W. A. Hager. Dr. Hill’s theory is that the skin of the negro is far more sensitive than that of any other race and that for that reason more coloring matter is thrown out to his skin to protect him in the climatic conditions under which his forefathers were born, the inteus heat of the tropics making this neces sary. By preventing pigmentation. Dr. Hill believes, the child of colored rnr ents, -which is really born white, turn ing darker under the sun’s rays, will remain white. A prospective mother has consented to bp the subject of the experiment. A room in a hospital will be provided which will be completely furnished in red.. Walls, ceiling, flooring and fur niture, bedclothing and curtains are to be of that color; patient, attendinc physicians and nurses will wear r V gowns, while the only light will com--- through red globed lamps and red win dow panes.

It is rank foolishness to attempt to remove sallowness or greasinesi of the skin by the use of cosmetics, or local” 'treatment, as advocated by the “beauty doctors.” The only safe and sure way that a woman can improve her complexion is by purify ing and enriching the blood, which can only be accomplished by keeping the liver healthy and active. The liver is the seat cf disease and blood pollution. Green’s August Flower acts directly on the liver, cleanses and enriches the blosd, purifies the complexion.

I suf fered for nine months with suppressed menstruation which completely pros trated me. Pains wonld shoot through my back and sides and I would have blinding headaches. My limbs would swell up and I would feel so weak I could not stand up. I naturally felt discouraged for I seemed to be beyond the help of physicians, but Wine of Cardui came as a God-send to me. I felt a change for the better within a week. After nineteen days treatment I menstruated without suffering the agonies I usually did and soon became regular and without pain.
