Count Won Moltke believes firmly in the ad-
age sin time OF peace prepare for war;" In the
debate on the army bill in the German Reich
stag he urged the enlargement of the army, say
ing that while there was no indication at pres
ent that the peace of Europe would be dis
turbed, the only way to maintain tranquility is
for Germany to have an army so large that her
demands for peace will always be respected
He called attention to the fact that while other
European nations have but one exposed border,
Germany and Austria could be invaded from
two sides. Such arguments as these are put
before the public, but the true object in view in
enlarging the German army is no doubt to keep
pace with the increase in the military forces of

The nihilst assassin who fired at Gen. Nell

better marksman than his conIederates who
several times fired at the Car. He hit his

the nihilists to shoot one of the Russian rulers

The Generous Car who Wouldn't De.
Driye the Monks of Treasure.

During the Crmean war Gar Nicholas
deigned to borrow vast sums of money
from the wealthy Russian monasteries,
and among others, of the Petsherskaia
Laura, renowned cloister built over
the Kiev catacombs, which was totally
destroyed by fire recently. The patri-
otto fraternity of Petsherskaia lent his
majesty 100000 roubles, for which
they received bond entirely written
with his own august hand. When the
emperor Alexander last visited Kiev he
took occasion to inspect the famous
Laura, which contained inestimable
treasures in the way of documents con-
nected with the early history of Russia.
The prior, deeming the occasion oppor-
tune for obtaining payment of the loan,
granted some "a years previously to his
majesty's father, extracted the bond
from the jeweled casket in which it had
been reverently preserved, and handed it
to the car with profound obeisance.
Alexander pressed the parchment to his
lips, exclaiming, GIN this you possess,
indeed, a treasure worth ten times the
sum it represents, and gazing fondly on
the lines traced by his fathers pen. The
prior's heart beat high with the hope
that his sovereign would keep the bond
and straightway ordain the payment of
theloan, perhaps even of the accumulated
interest upon the original principal. To
his crushing discontinue, however, the
emperor handed him the bond, ejacu-
lating with voice shaken by emotion,
"No, no. I will not rob you of this
priceless treasure. Keep it as q thing
holy, of far greater value than all your
relics Of saints and martyrs. 1t is my
fathers own handwriting have not
purchased 1t too dearly~

resin and renders it soft. It is then put
on a large stone grinder, with water
pouring on it all the time. The grind
stone wears of the fbres until they are
finer than sawdust, which float away into
a receptacle. The water is drained of
by means of o fine sieve, leaving the
pulp, which consists Of fine fuzz or
splinters of wood. It is white and re-
quires no bleaching, but is ready to be
mixed with rag pulp or anything else
that has fine fiber and receives the
proper constituents to make it into paste,
after which it is run off into paper sheets,
whereas rags have to be washed and
bleached with chloride of lime, soda ash
and alum and such strong chemicals to
take out the color. Then they are pick
ed to pieces and made into pulp. The
process by which wood pulp is made is
purely mechanical. 1t can be made
cheap, say at about one cent pound

Grass. an Orcnar0s
(From the New York SUM-
Seeding down orchards and leaving the
land in meadow may answer in moist
climates or where the soil is naturally
wet, but it is poor practice where the
trees are likely to suffer for moisture
about their roots in summer. We have
heard farmers say that they thought
shading the ground with grass of some
kind of crop growing thereon would help
to keep the soil cool and moist; but this
is an error, for the evaporation of mois-
ture through the leaves of growing plants
is many times greater than from the ex-
posed surface of the ground, even in the
driest and hottest weather. Any one
who desires to see for himself the differ
ence has only to dig under the turf or
about the roots of growing plants in a
dry time, and then examine the condition
of soil that has been worked over and
left fallow. Many an old stunted orchard
that has long been seeded down would
be greatly benefited by having the sward
broken up this spring, and the grass and
its roots left to decay during the coming
summer. If the farmer thinks he cannot
afford to leave the land fallow, he may
add manure and plant it with potatoes,
beans, or some other low-growing crop
requiring cultivation.

Soil and Sowing Peas.
(From the New York Sun.1

For garden culture OF peas the soil can
scarcely be too rich, provided the manure
used is not too coarse and fresh. When
fresh barnyard manure is used it is a
good plan to spread it upon the garden
in the fall and pillow under; then, by
another blowing in the spring, it be-
comes well-mixed and distributed
through the soil. For an early crop the
peas may be sown as soon as the ground
is in workable condition in the spring,
because the pea is quite hardy, and a
little frost will not injure it, as it does
beans and some other closely allied
plants. It il also well to cover the seed
quite deep when sown early, to avoid
freezing, If cold nights should follow;
and if the soil is light and sandy, seed
covered three or four inches will produce
u heavier crop and the plants continue
longer in bearing, than if covered half
the depth or less, probably because the
roots Of the deeply covered obtain a more
constant and larger amount of moisture.
When the soil is not made rich enough
before planting, top dressing of ashes,
plaster, or some other good fertilizer
should be applied just before or soon
after the plants appear above the surface.
For tall-growing sorts, brush or some
kind of support is required to keep the
plants from trailing on the ground, but
the dwarf sorts will usually do well
enough without it.

THE PRICE OF PRINT PAPER.

INC MllHdukcC w ISCOQSln.
1t has become a source of ANNOYANCE,
and will be of embarrassment, to all the
newspaper publishers of the United
States that print paper has taken so vast
rise. 1t isnow fully go per cent. higher
than it was five months ago. In the
meanwhile most publishers have contin-
ued their old prices, and while so doing
they are certain they are losing money
st. Louis appears to be the only city
in which the rise is distinctly recogniz-
ed. The larger journals of that city have
put their prices up from twenty-five to
thirty cents per week. Soon in all de-
partments of the printing trade this rise
Will have to be recognized, and the pub
fishers VIII have to charge more for print
paper, inasmuch as they are paying 60
per cent. more.
Business never can be long continued
where the loss is steadily on one side.
In view of the extraordinary advance in
white paper, 1t has been suggested that
the United States should abolish the
present prohibitory duty on print paper,
and admit it duty free, and, as a fair
compensation in return to the manufac-
turer here, congress should likewise
abolish the duty of 1896 per ton on So
da ash, and likewise the duty on chemi-
Gals which enter into the composition of
print paper.
1t is probable that the present price of
white paper will continue, because the
market has only touched the scale of anti
war prices, when we had a gold cur
rency. The depression in the paper
market was unnatural, and could not
continue any more than that nails could
continue at $40 per 100 pounds, which
was the lowest price ever reached by the
nail market in the history of modern
civilization. The rebound has come in
iron, and SO it has in print paper.

POPULATION STATISTICS.

Alabama is as large as England, and
yet has only 100000 of people to Eng
lands q, 100000. California, with less
than 100000 of people, is very little
smaller than France, with $4,000, 900.
Nevada is little smaller, and Oregon
is larger than New York and Pennsyl-
vania combined; as either of these
new states could easily hold the two
older states combined population of
8,5O0,O0O. We do not think Massa-
chusetts overcrowded with 800, 600,
nor Ohio with less than 100000,
nor New York with $500. 600.
And yet, if Texas were settled as thickIy
as New York, its 100000 of people
would grow to 100000; if like Ohio,
il would have 81, 100000; if like Massa-
chusetts, it would hold $4,000 900, or
more than the whole present population
of the Union. There are only 10 states
out of the 80 which have each more than
1000, 900 of people, while there are IA
states which each have a larger area than
England with her 81 ,000, 600. Settled
like England these states would have
more than 300,O00,OO0. The states to
ward which emigration is now main
ly setting are Minnesota, Nebras-
ka, Kansas, Texas and Colorado.
These about equal Missouri, in popula-
ton, while their area is ten times hers.
So to be evenly populated like Missouri,
sparsely populated as that state is, these
five should have 20 600 600; and to be
settled like Massachusetts, being ninety
times as large, they must have 135 CO.,
600, OF, three times our country's present
population. If the whole territory of the
Union were settled like New York, il
would contain 270 1000, 600; if like Massa-
chusetts, $50, O00, 900; and If it reached
England's ratio of inhabitants to the
square mile, its population would almost
equal the preseRt population of the
globe.
