The Census Of France and the United
States present singular contrast in the
growth Of the two countries, very favorable to
America. The population Of France by a re-
cent census, is IS. 1O2, s21, decrease Of 966,-
955, since 1866. This is attributed to small
pox, to decline in matrimonial alliances, and
to war. In 100 the population of france was
19,669,35O. In 1862, when great care was taken
IN the enumeration, the population was 21,-
769,163. In 1901 it was p, ,349, 900. In 1921, in
spite of the long wars, it had increased to 3O.-
461, 900. THE average annual increase of pop
ulatiOn in France from 1861 to 1866 was only
1876, ,186, or $50, coo for the five years. This is
a slow growth compared with this country. A
hundred years ago this country had about
seventh of the population of France Those
three millions have increased to forty, while
the twenty-five millions IN France are now but
thirty-eight. Between 1851 and 1866 the de-
partment of the Seine, in which Paris is in
cludel, was the only department where the
population had materially increased.
The sewing machine patents are about to
expire, and according to the New York Bulle-
tin, there is a formidable combination of inter
ests to lobby their extension through Con-
gress. The royalty alone has yielded several
millions of dollars, which were divided among
five companies, whose patents cover essential
points IN the machine. To this large sum is
to be added the far greater amounts derived
from the combination ring which renders the
sewing machine interest the most compact and
powerful corporation in the world and perhaps
the most unscrupUlous. These companies
charge American people one-half more for ma
chimes than the rates at which precisely the
same articles are sold in Europe. The Bulle-
tin tells that for series of years the public
has paid from $50 to $50 apiece for machines
that never cost more than from $5 to SS each,
and which could be sold for S15 to $50 each.

THE BwIAL OF MOSES.

DUET. xxxyu: 6.
BY Nebo's lovely mountain,
ON this side JOrdans wave,
In vale in the land Of Moab,
There les a lonely grave;
Ana no man dug that sepulchre;
And-pO man saw il e'er,
For the angels OF God upturned the sod
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grsndest funeral
That ever passed earth:
But no man heard the trampling
Or saw the train 20 forth.
As nOiseless as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on ocean cheek
Grows into the great sun.
As noiseIess as the spring time
Her crown Of Terdure Weaves,
And all the trees ON all the hills
Open their thousand leaves;
50 without sound of music,
Or voice Of them that wept,
In silence down the mountains crown
The great procession swept.
PeFchance the bald old eagle
On gray Beth-Peor's height,
Out Of his rocky eyrie,
Looked on the wondrOus sight.
Perchance the lion, stalking,
Still shuns that hallowed spot:
For beast and birds have seen and heard
That which man knOweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muffied dTnms
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell OF battles won,
And after him lead the masterIess steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest Of the land
They lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an heHOred place
With costly marble drest,
In the great minister transept,
Where lights like glOries fall,
And the sweet choir sings, the organ rings,
Along the emblazoned walls.
He was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed a word.
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen,
On the deathless page, truth half SO cage
As he wrote down for men.
And hath he not high honor7
The hill side for his pail,
To lie in state while angels wait,
With stars for tapeFs tall
And the rocking pines, like tossing pluIaes
Der his bier to wave
And Gods own hand, in that lovely land,
To lay him in his grave.
In that deep grave without a name,
Whence his uncOfhned clay
Shall break again-mOst WOndrOus thought
Before the Judgment day.
And stand with glory wrapped around
On the hills he never trOd,
And speak OF the strife that won our life
With the IHcarnate Son Of God.
0, lonely tomb in Moab's land!
o, dark Beth-PeOr's hill
Speak to the curious heart of ours
And teach them to be still.
God hath his mysteries of grace
Ways that He cannot tell;
He hides them deep, like the secret sleep
OF him him He loved so well.

News of the Week.
DOWN EAST

The Coroner's jurors in the case of the
murder of Durged by Simmons, returned a
verdict that deceased died from stab wounds at
the hands OF Simmons but TO this they added
their belief that the murderoHs assault was
not premeditated; that the prisoner from pre-
vious threats made by deceased toward him
may have considered his life threatened. THIS
is regarded remarkable. Twelve millions
are said to be represented in Simmons family,
and the jurors are men whose standing is ques-
tionable. Simmons was held by the Coroner
for the murder Of Durged in a bail of $40. 900.
Representatives of the Children's Aid So
eiety declare their purpose to insist upon their

When Should Milk Be Skimmedl

MANY dairymen who make excellent
butter contend that better results are OBJ
tanned by allowing the cream to acquire
slightly acid taste than to churn it
sweet; but this acid condition of the
cream must not be confounded, however,
with sourness, which is altogether differ
ent and arises from different causes, such
as standing too long, or from close at
mosphere, or from badly cleansed uten-
sils, or from a general want of care and
cleanliness. Y. A. Willard writes When
milk is allowed to sour before it is skim
med, the layer of cream appears more
bulky and of greater consistency, but it
does not produce so much nor so good a
quality of butter as cream properly raised
and skinned from milk before it sours.
On this point we possess some interest
ing experiments by Sannet, who put aside
two equal quantities of milk, of which
the first, skinned after thirty hours,
yielded thirty pounds of butter, and the
second, SKINNED after a lapse of sixty
hours, only twenty pounds of butter.
In another experiment two equal guam
titles of milk yielded-the one when
skinned after thirty hours, thirty-one
pounds of butter; and the other, after
sixty hours, twenty nine pounds of butter.
In both experiments, in which the milk
was SKINNED after thirty hours standing,
the skinned milk was still sweet and
the cream not so thick and less in bulk
than that which was thrown up after
sixty hours standing.
The cream which arises first is always
richer in butter than that which is thrown
up later, and it also possesses more of that
peculiar aroma which gives to butter that
rich nutty flavor and smell which impart
so high degree of pleasure in eating it.
When proper regard has been had to
keeping the milk at the right temperature
while the cream is rising, and the proper
appliances are had in the dairy, all the
cream that will rise at all viii have to
come to the surface in about twenty.four
hours. Some claim that they can get it
all up in less time. OF one thing we may
be assured-the quicker cream can be
made to rise the better its quality; for
cream, like all perishable substances,
does not preserve its original properties
for any great length of time.
The best as well as the highestpriced
butter that now goes into the London
market comes from the Continent of
Europe, where the greatest attention is
paid to butter making. In Holstein one
of the points considered most essential in
buttermaking is to skim the milk just at
the proper moment; and this must always
take place before the milk can become
sour. Choice, keepable butter can only
result when the milk has been kept sweet,
as the souring develops curds. The
Orange county butter.makers observe this
principles and the experience of the best
butter-makers, both in this country and
in Europe, appears to have settled down
upon this principle as the correct one to
practice. But while the cream should be
taken from the milk before it is sour, the
pleasant acid taste before churning.-

How to Destroy Rodents.

THE Los Angeles, Cal, Star gives the
following as successful method to de.
stroy gophers and squirrels. One farmer
has just successfully poisoned some thou
sands of squirrels that had partly destroy.
ed grain field. His plan was as follows:
:" First he purchased four bits worth of
strychnine which he dissolved in a teacup
of vinegar; this he let stand half day,
stirring it occasionally. This cupful of
vinegar and strychnine he then poured
into three gallons of water, into which he
added pint of brown sugar, which de-
stroyed the taste of the vinegar and poi.
son. He then distributed the preparation
about the field, placing it in little earthen
or other vessels as near the color of the
ground as they can be procured. During
the warm parts of the day the rodents
went to these vessels by hundreds, and
never had time to get to their holes any
more, and so deadly is the poison that
four bits worth of strychnine will lay out
from three to four hundred rodents" We
presume that the plan which has been so
successful in California with gophers and
squirrels would be equally applicable to
rats, mice, and other small deer.

THE OLDEST SHIP AFLoAT.--A Phila.
delphia paper reports that the bark True
Love- which has just arrived at that port
from Greenland, with cargo of cryolite,
is the Oldest vessel known. She is quite
primitive or peculiar in structure, having
been built in the year 1894, and is conse-
quently 100 years old. In shape the bark
is very much like the one in which Will
liam Penn arrived at the time he made
the treaty with the Indians. The sides
batter inward to the top of the gunwale,
and this makes the vessel much broader
at the water line than on deck. This bark
was built in Philadelphia, but IL cannot
be ascertained with any degree of certain
ty atwhat particular point. The Custom
House register does not contain the rec
ord, because the vessel was built twelve
years before the beginning of the Ameri-
can revolution. The bark was built for
parties residing in Hull England, and
still halls from that place, and for forty
seven years was engaged in the whaling
business in the northern seas, and appear
ed to be at home among the icebergs of
the Arctic region. 1t is understood that
the vessel has never required any consid-
erable repairs. The original timbers ap.
pear to be as sound as the day they were
erected on the stocks in old Kensington.
The bark registers 296 tons, but will car
ry much more.

manufacturers. His success, like theirs,
depends not alone on capital, or skill, or
labor, or machinery, or science, or expert
ence; on none of these separately and ex-
clusively, but on all of them combined,
and on the judgment with which they are
blended in due proportion, and on the
clear.sighted sagacity which is everywhere
applied to his operations.
There is no reason, then, why the busi-
ness of the farmer, IL conducted under
right conditions, should not yield as fair
a margin Of profit as other manufacturing
industries. In his case, as in theirs,
whatever reduces the cost of production
adds so much to the net results, and helps
to make him prosperous man.
The problem for the agriculturist is, To
get the highest agreeable product mot OF
quantity merely, but of value,) from the
smallest cash investment, and the practi-
cal mode of solving this problem makes
the whole difference between the thriftless
and the thrifty farmer.
Just here there arises very important
inquiry Does the highest yield per acre
necessarily give the lowest net cost of the
article raised, or is there any relation be.
tween these two factorsS The obvious an.
swer is, that though the largest yield does
not always give the least cost, yet the
chances are greatly in its favor if reason
able care and economy are used There
is, of course, limit of outlay on every
crop, beyond which it will not be profita.
BILE; but inside of this limit, it is safe to
say that, as general rule, the more bush.
els or tons you get from an acre, the less
each bushel or ton will cost.
The reason of this is so perfectly plain,
it seems incredible that our farmers dc
not give more attention to the principle
and take advantage of it to increase theil
profits. The usual explanation with most
of them is, that capital being limited
they cannot put more than a certain
amount of expense on each acre, ever
though every additional dollar should
bring back hundred.fold-Co Rura
