Prince Krapotkine ON the Develop
ment of Productive Farming In the
Future.
From the Boston Herald
Prince Krapotkine, who was exiled from
Russia on account of his radical opinions,
and who recently passed a term of imprison-
ment in France for his extreme views on
social subjects, points out that the possibil-
tiles of agriculture are but family understood
by those who have not made careful study
of his subject, or who have entered upon it
with minds prejudiced by the opinions of
Malthus as to the congestion of population.
He asserts that there is not country in the
world that begins to contain the number of
people that might easily be supported upon
its own soil without importation of food or
agricultural supplies of and kind from
foreign countries; that where there has been
an assumed pressure of population, as in
England and Ireland, the causes have been,
not that land was not abundantly able to
procure for them all, and more that all that
was needed for full and satisfactory sup
port of existence, but because in these
countries the land laws and the monopoly
of land by private ownership have been
such that the people have not been able
to utilize its resources as they should,
and, under other circumstances, probably
would.
As an illustration of the productive cspac-
ity of the earth under proper treatment, he
gives number of instances borrowed from
the experience of the market gardeners in
the country districts around Paris, where the
soil, even in the hands of relatively ignorant
men, has been utilized so as to be enormous
ly productive. he refers to one farm of 81
acres in extent, from which there are annu-
ally taken one hundred and twenty-five tons
Of market vegetables of all kinds. The far
mer in this case-and he is but sample Of
his class-has found out q part of the secrets
Of nature, and by the building Of walls to
protect his lands from the cold winds, by
whitening these SO as to secure all possible
radiated heat, and by constant and judi
cious use of fertilizers, has his little farm
constantly In productive condition from
January 1st to December 31st He has in
effect, by simple and inexpensive means,
produced result equivalent to what would
have been obtained If the farm had been lo-

AN OLDEN ALLEGORY.
The story of the Birds Found in Monk
ISh Chronicles.

Ish Chronicles.
[From the Youths Companion.l
The monkish chronicles of the early ages
of Christianity wrapped the truths, which
they wished to teach, in quaint allegories to
attract their heathen readers. One of these
fables may interest American boys and girls.
| II is as true in significance as it was in the
l days of the Caesars.
A flock of birds mysteriously appeared one
day in a city out of a clear sky, and sought
refuge in all manner of strange hiding places.
One few into bare stone cell, where it
died of starvation; another into the gaping
throat of wild boar, and was stifled by fat;
third was placed by princess in beauti-
full cage At first she counted the bird as
her chief treasure and fed and cherished it.
Then she began to decorate the cage with
gold and jewels, and forgot its inmate until
one day she found it starved and dead.
But another took refuge in the breast of q
woman 80 poor that she had only rags to
keep her warm and crusts to eat. The bird
was her only happiness.
When the winter night came call sound
ed from the sky for the birds to return.
There was but one of them yet living. 1t
few from the breast of poor woman who
lay frozen to death by the roadside, and
heaven opened to take it in.
The allsgory needs no Interpretation.
As we walk along the street to-day and
look into the faces of the passers-by, we can
read the story of the bird from heaven
which was given to each one of them at
birth In that mans breast it died of cold;
in this it was stiied by swinish appetites;
that woman's body is q beautiful cage which
sae 30 loves to adorn that she altogether for
gets its holy tenant.
But there are men and women who meet
US every day, whose every word and action
are fragments of harmony from the divine
dweller in their hearts.

THE EFRENoH sPoLIATION CLAIM

TH &C FRENCH HSPOLHATION CLAIMS.
A great many Connecticut people are inter-
ested In the settlement of the French spolia-
ton claims, and they and all others interest.
ed think it high time that these claims were
settled. But the outlook for settlement of
them soon is not as good as might be wished.
'Webb, !" of the Boston Journal, gives clear
account of the situation.
At the beginning of this session of Congress
the representatives from the States in which
most of the claimants reside determined that
the decisions of the court of claims should
not be defeated if they could help it by any
technical opposition in the committee on ap-
propriations nor by mere fat on the part of
those who control that committee, that the
judgments, whether right or wrong, were too
large to look well in an appropriation bill
and should not be paid. Accordingly, these
representatives succeeded in passing through
the House by large majority resolution
directing the committee on appropriations to
incorporate in the deficiency bill a sum suff-
cient to pay these judgments of the court of
claims. The committee had no discretion in
the premises; they were under an express or
Ger from tu6 EOuS0. 4nSsr WAtA
to these judgments was merely clerical.
They had no jurisdiction to consider the mer-
its and the committee has reported an amount
of money sufficient to pay these judgments.
But some members of the committee in the
House will endeavor to defeat the very order
of the House in accordance with which these
sums were incorporated in the bill, and will
try to defeat the appropriation. A nominal
pretext will probably be the claim that there
is newly discovered evidence, but the actual
reason is an uncomfortable desire on the part
of some who seem to think they alone are the
true censervators of the public interests in
the House of Representatives, while all the
rest are robbers, to prevent the payment of
these claims on the ground thut they are old;
that if they had merit they should have been
paid long ago; that those who incurred the
original losses are dead and that for the rest
the appropriation is large one and the mon
ey ought to be kept in the treasury and not
squandered in the payment of such claims.
If this scheme is carried out it will be
pretty small business. But nobody need be
surprised by anything that this House does.
