Progress of our Country.

Professor Creasey, the able occupant of the
chair of ancient and modern history in the Uni
versity of London, thus refers to this country
in terms that do credit to his liberality;
By the foarth great power of the world,
mean the mighty Commonwealth of the West
ern continent, which now commands the admi-
ration of mankind. That homage is some
times reluctantly given, and is sometimes ac-
companied with suspicion and ill-will. But
none can refuse it. Allthe physical essentials
for national strength are undeniably to be found
IN the geographical position and amplitude of
'territory which the United States possess in
their almost inexhaustible tractsrof fertile, but
hitherto untouched soil h their stately for
their beds of coal, and stores of metallic
wealth; In their extensive seaboard along the
waters of two oceans and in their already nu-
merous and rapidly increasing population
And when we examine the character of this
population, no one can look on the fearless en-
ergy, the sturdy determination, the aptitude
ioi ioSd SeilSoNeItiieht, Inc versatile dlaCrlty
and the unresting spirit of enterprise which
characterize the Anglo Americans, without
feeling that here he beholds the true elements
of progressive might.
Nothing is more calculated to impress the
mind with sense of the rapidity with which
the resources of the American republic advance
than the difficulty which The historical inquirer
finds in ascertaining their precise amount. If
he consults the most recent works, and those
written by the ablest investigators of the sub
ject, he finds in them admiring comments on
the change which the last few years before
those books were written had made; but when
he turns to apply the estimates in those books
to the present moment, he finds them fully in
adequate. Before book on the subject of the
United States has lost its novelty, those States
have outgrown the description which it con
tains. ~

The Spanish Dollar.

The word, dollar, is as frequently in the
mouth of every American, as the word dress Is
in that of his mother, sister, or sweetheart,
yet few men can decipher the hieroglyphics
which roughen the face of any coin. To ex-
plain the multitudinous devices which have
figured in the coinage of all nations, or even
of some single nations, would require nu-
msmatical folio. But short paragraph will
be of interest to all who will compare it with
a Spanish pilared dollar, or with any of the
coins representing It's parts, for the image and
superscription on them are all the same.
The diverse of the specimen before me,
bears a laurel-crowned bust, with the words,
1906, CARoLus oUARTus, DEL GRATIA. On
the reverse the inscription continues, HIsPAN.
(Hispania) EFT IND. (lndiarnm) REX p. S.
s P. P. l., that is, Charles the Fourth, by the
grace of God, king of Spain and of the Indies
Potosi, eight reals. The letters P l., sup
pose to be the initials of the mint-master, under
whom the coin was struck. The real, Cor
royal piece,) or our ninepence, would seem
to be the unit in Spanish coinage. Instead Of
P. s., many dollars bear letter NJ, with a
crown over it, to show that Madrid, or with a
letter o. over it to show that Mexico, was the
place of mintage.
But the most interesting part of a coin is IFS
blazoning. The pillars, which give dollars
among Italians the name of colonndti, stand
for the pillars of Hercules the words plus
ultra, (more beyond) written on the scroll that
flows round their shafts, alludes to the classic
notion that those pillars, or the Straits Of Glib
raltar, were the ne plus ultra of geographical
discovery the two lions were the armorial
bearing of the band Of lions, Leon, and the
two castles that of the castellated region, Cas-
tile; the castle and lion side by side under one
crown, betokens the Union of CASTLE and Leon
in one monarchy; the three crosses in the cen
tire show the trinitarian Christianity of Spau ;
the frame on which the crosses, castles, and
lions are craven, is an heraldic shield.
Some say vine is figured in the lower part
of the shield, with allusion TO the Spanish
vineyards. If not will some one who has
dived deeper than into the mysteries of the
dollar, tell me what it is we see there shooting
up in the angle between the lower castle and
lion
The dollar | have been describing has his
tory. 1t was rifled last year from the sunless
treasures of the sea, in sixty fathoms water,
off the coast of Venezuela, by Capt. Tower, of
Cohasset. 1t was one of five millions like it
self which sunk there in ls4l, when the flag
ship of a Spanish Admiral was blown up

Harvesting Winter Apples.

In harvesting apples, especially those in
tended for winter, they should be carefully
picked by hand in bright clear weather. All
bruises are not only injurious as tending to
decay, but they render the fruit partially
worthless. Some fruit growers pick theirs
the last of September, before completely
ripe, and allow il TO shrivel little before
packed in barrels, as it will keep well un-
der this treatment. Such fruit is not equal
in quality TO that well rpened on the tree.
In very warm loca tions, winter fruit is Ire
quently ripe by the last of September. Most
fruit-growers allow their winter apples 10
remain on the trees until October, and be-
come thoroughly ripe.
After picking the fruit, pack carefully in
barrels. and head up closely. The follow
ing is the mode of management in this sec
ton. The barrels are piled up horizontally
in cool, open sheds, or in The Shade OF trees
or buildings, and sometimes in open space,
covered with boards laid over the barrels, TO
keep off the sun and rain, and allowed 10 re-
main out till November, Till there is danger
of their freezing. Apples thus managed
will escape severe frost. The thermome-
Ter may be ten or twelve degrees below
freezing, or the weather cold enough 10
freeze ice half an inch thick. We have
known apples TO escape when the thermom-
eter was twenty degrees below freezing but
there is risk in leaving them our in so cold
weather. When the weather becomes too
cold for them 10 be safe ont OF doors, put
them INTO The cellar Immediately after lar-
ves,ing. Whether apples are put into The
cellar early or late, the cellar should be well
ventiated;n clear weather, when the wind
is north or west bu, kept shut up closely
when The wind is in other directions. Thus
should be practsed even in winter, when
there is no danger of apples freezing. ~.

Cure for the Canes.

All who have tried raising poultry on old

tending with the gapes. disease which car
ries off millions every spring. A remedy has
been discovered and thoroughly tested 'in

raising young poultry, when her husband sug-
gested TO her that as the gapes were undoub-
tedly occasioned Ivy the little worm found in

Vegetarians.

A Convention has been held in London BY
those persons opposed TO meat eating, and in
favor of vegetable diet. Mr.. Brotherton,
member of Parliament presided, and stated
that an experience of forty-two years absti-
nence from animal food, his healthful appear
ance attested the virtue Of simple diet, con-
fined to the fruits and grains-the natural ali
ment of man. He was particularly severe up
on that "scrofnlous and nasty animal" the
hog, which furnishes so large proportion of
food. Man, physiologically speaking, is
doubtless an omniverons animal, capable Of
great variety in his diet but it is equally well
ascertained that a vegetable and fruit diet is
favorable to his health, strength and longevity
The Arabian with diet of which dried dates
form the largest part, is a healthier and longer
lived man than the American with his msa
three times day. But the philosophy of diet
has very little to do with the general practice
of mankind As general rule they will eat
what they like best, and as often as they please
or can obtain 1t, without much regard to the
advice of the medical faculty which flourishes
mainly upon their excesses. One thing we
are certain of, that the nations of antiquity, the
most remarkable for their physical strength
and prowess, partook sparlngly of animal food
and they had no spirituous liquors, tobacco, tea
or coffee. These FIVE stimulanls, flour of
which are new) the modern world use freely,
some of them in great excess, and whether or
not the result in the course of ages will be the
physical deterioration of the race, time must
determine. There are many who suppose that
the New England race have diminished in
stature and strength from what they were a
hundred years ago; they have certainly varied
very much from the original type of the Eng
llsh settlers, partly, perhaps, from the effects
of climate. Be this as it may, the world in
general find it hard to conform to the simplici,
ty of the vegetarans, and prefer to live better
and faster, in spite Of the promises held out to
them of greater comfort and longevity .-ProU

WINTER WHARF.-The experiment Of rails
ing winter wheat in Maine Tor the past sea-
SOD, has been successful beyonl all eXpec-
tarion. More wheat will be put into the
ground this fall aud next spring than was
ever before sown by the farmers of Maine in
a single year. If the yield Of the next har.
vest from the fall sown wheel should he il
proportion TO that Of the past season, Maine
will nearly supply her home consumption
thing she has never yet done for single
year. This winter wheat movement is wor
thy of all encouragement. We ihink it il
destined to be permanently successful. The
only fear Of failure in any season is from
an open and cold winter; and the danger
from this cause will be limited chiefly to
crops upon cIayey soil. The yield this sea.

And in the morn the balmy air

The moon upon the snow-drift CLEANS,
So fair. and yet withal so bright,
That rose looked in upon my dreams.

1t grew still dearer to my heart
Betwixt myself and grief it lay,
A shield from sorrows fearful dart;
Then was happy as the day,
Nor thought of future veal or woe,
Nor dreamed that it might pass away,
Or that it e'er should anguish know.
One morn the gardner bade them bear
My idol to some unknown shore,
Beyond the reach of all my care,
Where l should never see it more;
My grief seemed more than could bear,
wept sad tears OF bitterness,
Yet still there was an influence near,
That would not leave me comfortless.
Oh . Anne, in mine hour of woe,
When mem'ry turns with whelning tide
almost sink beneath the blow
That took thee, sister, from my side;
How sweet, thou ever gentle one,
To feel thy spirits soothing love,
That never leaves, but leads me on,
To meet thee in thy world above.

A CLERGYMAN's OPINION OF NEWSPAPERS,
Rev. DR.. Daniel Baker, of Texas, says he has
travelled through great many States, mixed
with the people, conversed at the country fire
side, and preached in the open forest as well
as in the thronged city. Where he found
newspapers he found inteligence-peoplet to
whom he could talk or listen with pleasure,
and amongst whom his good works prospered.
As general thing, where a newspaper is not
taken, he could tell it in the sloveniness Of the
household, the ignorance Of the children, and
the uuinformed parents. So marked is the
difference in civilization between those who
do take newspapers and those who do not, that
the traveller in the country will be pleased and
the difference is attributable.

YACHT 'AMERlcA.-The Buffalo Com
naercial notices the fact that the America was
but second class vessel in our waters-she
having been beaten by the Maria, and relates
the following, anecdote:
We heard Of circumstance, somewhat
similar 10 the late yacht race, that occurred
in the Mediterranean few years ago. A
down east schooner, named Jemima, in ma
king the run from Masslna to Gibraltar, fell
in with crack vessel belonging to the Royal
Yacht Club. The wind was fair, and the
Engishman squared away for race. JON
a,han packed on all the canvas he could mus
ter and the result was, he beat the yacht at
least knot an hour all the way TO Gibraltar.
When the EnslishnIan reached there he
waited OH the Yankee to express his surprise
and chagrin-athrming, at the same time,
that his vessel had never before been beaten.
Just like my Jemima,' said Jonathan, she
never beat nolhin afore.'
