, TODAY ISTOMORROW IN MANILA.
rnrndoz of Time I.enilit to All Corta
of Oncer CotiMcqiicnccit.
Tlio wnr with Spain hns been full of
mirprlKi'H, but perhnjm Hh oddest out
come I that Uncle Ham now Iiiib nil
IiIh holldayH not to mention other dayn
In dupllcnte. Kor this we lmvo to
thank Admiral Dewey. Territorial ex

islon n!no. It la a curloualy literal fill
II 1 1 in en t of the Spnnlnrd'H il renin of
"mannnn." Today la nlwaya to-morrow
In the Philippines. This pnrndox
of time leada to all norta of queer con
Hcquencea. The cablegrams received
to-dny nre dated to-morrow. Only the
breaking of the cable at Manila pre
vented our hearing of Dcwey'a victory
the day before the battle was fought!
If you should stnrt nt noon to-day nnd
travel westward nt the rate of about a
thousand miles an hour, It would still
bo noon In every region you passed
through all the way around the world.
You would catch no Kll.n8c of nlRbt;
you would boo no huhuci nun no uu
rlt?. Vet when you reached home
again, twenty-four hours later, It wduld
be to-morrow. Proceeding In the op
posite direction, you would, of course,
get Just the opposite result. You would
gain a day, apparently.
The day of the mouth Is a purely ar
bitrary arrangement. Nature does not
define It. One dny slides Into another
Just as yarn goes round the reel. Yet
It Is necessary to mnke the chango
somewhere. So we draw an arbitrary
line from north to south, on the one
side of which It Is to-day and on the
other to-morrow, even In plnces not a
mllo apart. Theoretically there nre
points where n single step would carry
you from Sunday noon Into the middle
of Monday. This Is the so-called date
lino. Here nil ships as they cross drop
: or repeat a day, throwing your diary
1 sadly out of gear. Sailing eastward
you go to bed Sunday evening, nnd
j when you rise In the morning It Is still
Sunday. Sailing toward the west, you
And that you have slept till Tuesday,
, though you got only your usual rest.
The true date lino Is rarely shown ou
maps. The accompanying chart is
therefore worth preserving.
Roughly, tho course of tho lino Is as
follows: Starting nt the north polo It
passes through llehrlng strait, then
slants to tho westward to clear the
long horn formed by the Aleutian chain
of Islands and give them the Bnme dny
Ins tho United States, to which they
' belong. This accomplished, It returns
' to tlio one hundredth nnd eightieth
meridian nnd drops southward Into tho
tropics, keeping far to the east of the
Japanese group anil tne I'lunppines,
until It approaches the latltudo of tho
FIJI Islands. As these and some neigh
boring groups belong lo Great Britain
and do business chiefly with her Aus
tralian colonies, tho date lino hero
makes a sudden swerve eastward, so
as not to cnibnrrnss the local commerco
with n change of day. When wo pur
chased Alaska wo annexed the Siberian
dotf which nt that time cut Into tho
Amcrlcnn continent, though occupying
a remote nnd dosolato region. Wo
quickly revised tho date lino, however,
to suit our own convenience.
Tho cnoo of tho Philippines Is singu
lar. For n long time they eujoyed tho
American day, though tho Asiatic cal
endnr prevailed nil around them, thus
dragging tho dato Hue far out of its
natural course. Somo who ought to
know hotter seem to sur.poso thnt this
absurd practice Is etlll maintained. A
Btntcmont to that effect appeared In a
well-known mngazlno not many years
ngo. But In 1844 tho much-needed
chango was inndo by Nnrclso Olaverla,
then Governor General and Arch-
bishop, the 31st of December of that
year being dropped from tho calendar,

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.
Mrs. W E. Paxtos. Youngtown,
North Dakota, writes about ncr strug
gle to regain health after the olrtb of
her little girl:
" Df.aii Mna. PrxKiiAii: It Is with
pleasure that J add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induco
others to avail themselves of your val
uable medicine.
" After the birth of my little girl,
three yenrs ngo, my health was very
poor. 1 had leucorrhcea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until 1 could do
to work. Also had headache nearly
till the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
struations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks
" I took medicine from a good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for a bottle of
LydVa E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd. and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that I
cend for two more After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
" I think It is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend It to every Jady I meet suf
fering from this trouble "
Maternity is a wonderful experience
nnd many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mr3. Pinkham Is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
ber advice i3 beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs P:ckham be
fore confinement she would have beea
