land has destroyed the manufactures of
India by the competition of her cheaper
machine-power with the hand-looms of
the Hindoos, and has inflicted appalling
suffering upon the people of that subject
country. The population of India has
probably been reduced within century
by number equal to the entire popula-
ton of Great Britain and Ireland. Now,
however, England is seriously trying to
make 200, 900, 900 of people available in
agriculture alone in Hindostan without
manufactures. Such is the need felt
there of reviving the native manufac-
lures that although there are only 167,-
600 white persons in India, apart from
the army, the Council of India actually
adopted system of protective duties
for shutting out English goods and de-
veloping native manufactures, which
was only prevented from taking effect

the ground of Hindoo, but exclusively
on that of English interest.

culean efforts to employ the native ryot
population in agriculture, and wheat
being almost the only agricultural pro-
duct that will bear transportation to
England, the entire convict force of In
dia is employed upon these works of
irrigation and of railway building. In
dia's capacity for the export of wheat
has now become a fourth as great as
that of the United States, and Is strid-
ing upward with great rapidity. 1t is
quite within bounds to say that the In
dian capacity of production is likely to
supply the whole English demand before
the close of ten years more. That means
lower prices on our wheat export and
that in turn means cheaper cost of pro-
duction. While England is fighting our
wheat crop in India with her big canals,
our chief resource for fighting her will
be our bonanza farms. They could con-
tinue to raise wheat at a profit if wheat
should drop to so or even 80 cents a
bushel, as the figures concerning many
of them show. Irrigation, however.
would enable us to extend our bonanza
farming over broad regions which will
otherwise remain as bad lands, but
from which the transportation will be
less than from Dakota or Wyoming.

Hvdronhnhia.

For some time M. Pasteur, the French
investigator, has been experimenting
with view of discovering whether the
fatal infection of rabies can be disarm-
ed of its power by incubation. 1t is
said that he now possesses four dogs
which are proof against the infection,
whatever may be the method of inocu-
lation used or the virulence of the
matter, while other dogs inoculated
with the same virus invariably perish.
The expe imenter raises the question
whether these four animals owe their
impunity TO spontaneous recovery from
a mild attack, which may have escaped
observation, or whether they are natur-
ally refractory to the disease. One OF
the three dogs which he inoculated in
1881 survived, and though twice inocu-
lated in 1882, he did not become rabid.

Our Millionaires.

IL is q curious circumstance that
wealth concentrates in few Sinds more
readily in this than any other on earth.
We have followed out the traditions of
Jefferson in this country, and given ev-
cry one an equal chance in the making of
money, upon the theory that this would
result in an equalizing of fortunes. To
help to bring about this desirable result
our laws call for an equal division of
property on the death of the parent
But unrestricted competition has not
borne out the claim of the Declaration
of Independence that "all men are
equal" The facts of the last fifty years
show that opportunity, brains, and un-
scrupulousness will enable individuals,
within a short lifetime, to gather to
themselves enormous sums of money,
which, under different institutions,
would be diffused among the masses of
the people. France, for instance, is n
very rich country, but outside of the
Rothschild family, has very few million
aires. 1t has poor and frugal working
class, but the great bulk of the French
people belong to what is known as the
"middle class" and are well to do. In
Great Britain there are greater contrasts
of wealth and poverty, but facts recent
ly published go to show that the number
of very rich is not large. 1t is safe to
say there have been more millionaires
created in the United States since the
beginning of the Civil War than have
been developed by century of banking,
manufacturing, and trading in Great
Britain. There are no single fortunes
in England comparable to those of
Vanderbilt, Gould, Mackay, Flood, the
Aston and Stewart estates, and proba-
bly, fifty others which might be mention
ed. The great fortunes in England have
been aggregating-some of them-for
centuries; ours date back to the first
year of the Civil War, when vast &C
cumulations were rolled up in contracts
for supplying our armies. Then the
Jeffersonian theory, which said to the
government Hands off," left the trans
portation field open to the monopolist.
Our railway magnates have taxed the
public, the government declining to in
terfere until very recently; but our
highest Court has at length decided
that the nation is supreme, and has n
and freight charges, The freedom of
our institutions had been vastly more
advantageous to the capitalist than the
poor workman. Should the present
tendencies continue, the middle of the
twentieth century will see the United
States with a vast laboring population,
q small middle class and few hundred
millionaires, who will monopolize the
great bulk Of the property of the coun-
try. But the signs of the times indicate
that before the close of this century the
people of the United States will make
such changes in our institutions as will
discourage vast accumulations of prop
erty in few hands. -Demoresr Month

A Double Roof Hotel.

The Railway Hotel at Yuma. Arizona
Territory. is constructed with double
roof, a delightful feature in hot coun-
tries, as it permits the free circulation
of the air between the two, a great adj
vantage for rooms in the upper story,
as they are thus protected from the d.
rect rays of the sun. The space between
the roofs is filled in with lattice work,
the upper roof extending out so as to
form the roof for the upper veranda as
well and projecting five or six feet even
beyond that. The verandas are also
very wide, ranging from ten to fifteen;
feet, which together with the projecting
roof keep the sun from striking the side
walls of the house, which thus escape
becoming superheated. These precau-
tons are necessary in this land of fervid
heat; and with them house may be
made extremely comfortable.-Cor B,J-

those loads are conveyed easily over
hard, smooth surfaces, or dragged
through mud and against stones with
severe labor to the team, fatigue to the
driver, and wear and breakage to the

more or less, go to the village for num-
berless errands, or to church on the

over billion dollars! Does any one

How to Protect Fruit from Insects.

Fruit and forest trees, shrubbery,
vines and flowers have been more in
tested with bugs and worms this year in
this part of the country than for long
time, and gardeners are put to their
wits end TO know how to get rid OF
their enemy.
The advice given below is selected
from the writings of experienced horti-
culturists, and Forest, Forge and Farm
recommends the trial of some of the
remedies.
"Oils of all kinds are deadly to most
insects. Kerosene can only be used by
diluting with water. To mix oils with
water, first combine them with milk,
then dilute, as desired, with water.
Sour beer and molasses attract moths,
spread on boards placed in the orchards
or on trunks of trees. Paris green is
very effectual when it can be well APP
piled; one pound mixed with twenty-five
pounds of flour or plaster is sufficiently
strong. Of London purple use only one
part by weight to fifty parts of flour or
plaster The common ground beetles,
the lace-winged flies, and the we'll
known lady bugs are old friends of the
anu SlOulu DO plObCCLCu.
AS regards the noXious insects, the cod
ding moth ranks, for destructiveness,
nearly at the top of the list. Paper or
cloth bands are used, applied every ten
days through spring and early summer,
and in connection with the use of prop
er wash. The apple tree bearers, of
which there are several kinds, are ene-
mics of the apple, the ounce, and some
other trees. When observed, cut the
larvae out with knife and place sheet
of tarred roofing felt about the collar of
the trees to prevent further ravages.
Dustings of lime are effectual with the
cherry and pear slugs, abundant in most
regions, such rs about Puget Sound.
The plum curculio, which is not here
yet, but is perhaps on the way, is an
enemy that at present cannot be con-
quered. There is no remedy known ex-
cept the Earring process, to commence
as soon as the fruit sets, and jar the
tree three times a week for month.
This shakes off the curculio bitten fruit,
and it should be gathered in and de-
stroyed. The steel blue beetle known
as the grape flea beetle nips the vine in
the bud; the larvae feed on the leaves in
the summer. The beetles are Jared off
the vines in the early morning, over an
inverted umbrella, or lime is used; for
the larve, alum water. One ounce of
alum to a gallon of warm water de-
stroys the strawberry worm; so does
white hellebore. Hand picking is about
the only remedy for the goosberry fruit
worm. The currant borcr is trouble
some. Cut out and burn all infested
branches. DO the same with the rasp-
berry twig girdler."

CAPTURING INCONSISTENCIES.
Eight or ten years ago one moonshin-
er could not have been bribed with
$1,000 to give another away. They
were a fraternity in which every man
changed. When still was captured by
some stroke of good luck it was given
out that this one or that one had betray-
ed the locality. Thus suspicious were
aroused of each other, and in order to
get even actual informers came to the
front. Moonshiners who were arrested
were promised immunity If they would
betray others, and in this way the fra
ternity was demOralized and at this time
is nearly broken up. There is not now
in operation one still where there used
to be ten, and every third resident of the
mountains is spy upon his neighbors.
Whenever raid is made and n still
captured, an informer leads the officers
to the spot. For promises or cash he
leads the raid against neighbor whom
he has known all his life, and in some
instances it is man whom he encour-
uSCu W ChtCl buoihCoo. hC
result is to create thirstfor vengeance,
and when the moonshiner is again at
liberty he will demand blood. 1t is rare
ly that resistance is offered the revenue
officers when their identity is known,
and the moonshine informer who has
any prudence will keep far away from
the mountains. Many of them have
been shot. and family feuds have cover
ed many dark rock with splashes of
blood.
While the moonshiner must obey the
law, he has more excuse than any other
criminal for breaking it. 1t is ques-
ton with him whether he shall live or
starve. No man reasons with him, but
one set betravs him and the officers cap
ture him. He is flung into Jail to be
tried when convenient, the witnesses are
mainly men who are worse than HIM
self, and the punishment is in most cases
far greater than man in other circum-
stances would receive. M. Quad IN De-

all forms OF hydrophobia is magnified
by two facts brought to light by the re-
searches of M. Bert. One of these Is
that even if the saliva of a mad dogj
does not communicate rabies 1t may,
prove fatal by producing serious locai
injuries-in other words, the .secreeion'
of rabid animals have poisonous prop
critics over and above the special radio
virus. The second fact is that it does
not follow because dog which has BIT
ten any person does not die that the
animal is free from rabies. These con-
illusions will add to the terrors OF the
disease. But there is some consolation
in learning from M. Bert that the mere
salivas of rabid dogs do not always
communicate the deadly virus, and APP
parently never communicate it unless
they contain the mucus from the respir-
atory organs, which seems to be the Ia
tai portion of the saliva.

With music quaint and rare.
Like the sound of human heart-throbs
On the silent midnight air,
Or the tears OF angels falling
When they weep with those who weep
Or the lullaby of mothers
When they rock their babes to sleep.
Like the drowsy wine of peoples
With its weird, enchanting powers,
Coming to the weary istener
Like the dew to dropping flowers;
Like calm sleep TO those who suffer,
Or like tears TO those who mourn;
Like remembered words from loved ones
From our aching bosoms torn.
Strangely sweet, bewitching music,
All enthralled my senses lie,
As watch the mystic Future
With the shadowy Past go by,
While q calm and holy quiet
Steals upon my heart and brain,
Then fall asleep, still listening
To the murmur OF the rain.
So, mayhap, sometime hereafter
j shall lay me down TO rest q
Overweary, and shall listen
For the music loved best;
When, its gentle cadence falling
Through the midnight silence deep
Softly s0othes my troubled spirit
While II lulls me into sleep.
When at last my soul has fallen.
Into sweetest, glad repose,
That on earth sunshine nor shadow
No awakening ever knows
Like the voice of waiting angels,
Or the vesper bells in toll,
May the softly falling rain-drops
Chant requiem for my soul.
