AMERICAN PROGRESS.

1t Is Due to Our Being the Most Cosmo-
pOiitau People Ever Known.
The growth Of cosmopolitanism resolves
itself into the abstract history of travel
When the human race has been unable to
travel prime element in mental culture
and social progress has been wanting. The
crusades gave to the sleepy population of
western Europe great desire to move
about and see the world, which could not for
some hundreds ofoyears afterward be fully
gratihed, for Europe did not become even
comparatively tranquil and safe till long
after the renaissance. From the beginning
of the world it will be seen that the first
travellers, the first pioneers, the first cos
mopoities, have been men of the sword. 1t
has been since the time of the patriarchs
the soldiers who have come back from long
campaigns and told their tales of the Won
ders they have seen in distant lands to as
sembled crowds in the market places and
still more interested circles about the fire
side, volumes that, unfortunately, were
never written
Taking it for'granted that travel is essen
tial to perfect culture, the question arises,
what nation is the most cosmopolitan 1t
would be the English, if they could have
learned the first principle of cosmopolitan
ism namely, respect for those of another
nationality, and the necessity of judging
each nation by Its own standard or that of
the world at large, rather than by a pair of
mental and moral balance which the traveller
carries with him. In this respect the
Frenchman, no matter how much he may be
infatuated with his own country, is far more
generous than the Eng!ishman. Il would
be hard to find more agreeable travelling
| companion than the intelligent and trav-
eled Frenchman. The Italians are modest
In regard to their own country and highly
appreciative Of what they find good abroad.
The bonhomie OF the Germans and Scandi-
nsvians renders their Affiliations easy with
all other people. The Russians are cosmo-
politan by instinct, habit, education and
| travel In France the readiness to appreci-
ate foreign excellence is augmenting.
Elsewhere in Europe it has long existed.
The spirit of antagonism to every thing
foreign remains deeply ingrained in the En-
| glish character, and will SO remain probably
! for some time to come. The American
character is receptive, says the San Fran
/ cisco Chronicle Ii is willing to initiate the
/ good wherever found. This Is the secret of
! our progress. 1t is not necessary for US to
! go abroad to become more cosmopolitan, our
! country is so broad and has within itself
| such variety of soil, climate and produc-
| ton, and so many elements of race and
nation. Every foreign people is known to
| US without the necessity of going to
see the countries whence they came. Add
| to these advantages that the people of no
country travel so much, and we have reason
| to hope that if the true cosmopolte is not
already to be found among US, the time is
not far distant when we shall have all the
| cosmopolitan qualities that are consistent
with an honorable patriotism.

FRAGMENTS FoR FARMERS.


CAErIEss milking has ruined many an
otherwise valuable COW.
YOUNG fruit trees should be cultivated IS
carefully as any o,her crop on the farm, if
they are expected TO pay Is We'll
y MAN who feeds correctly and intelli-
gently will save from ten to twenty per cent.
over a man who follows only a haphazard
method.
WHEN the feed in the pastures is dried
up so the cows can not easily get all they
want resort should be had TO green and even
dry fodder morning and night, to be fed out
at the barn.
Stock fBrming must be the foundation Of
all lOng-contiuued. successful farming. ANY
other system Is one Of slow exhaustion and
ultimate stCrility. Ignore the sheep, the hog
and the cow, and the land will grow poor
inevitably.
TIE progress toward making quality the
standard of value in milk and cream. both
for the factory and retail dealer, proves
that ii win not be long till the best COW viii
not be the one giving most pounds of milk,
but the one giving best milk
Fathers are apt TO give the boys the
poorest team and the poorest tools on the
place to work with, but it is bad policy if
the boys are to be encouraged to become
ed with farm work, the chances are that the
dislike will always stick to them.
IN the vicinity of cities and large towns
where land command high prices, it often
pays better to feed mich cows at the barn
than to pasture them; but when pasture
can be had at moderate prices, il is less
work and better for the health of the cows
to let them get at least half of their feed in
the pasture.
Do NOT purchase more than two colonies
OF bees TO start with. If the owner can
manage these successfully he will have in
the fall provided it be good season. four
good strong colonies and between four and
five hundred pounds of good honey. If he
should succeed his knowledge must increase
in the same ratio as his bees
AMONG the prime requisites of a good
farm horse are first sufficient size and
weight to give the necessary strength to

and second good bottom and endurance.

WOMEN AS LAWMAKERS.
Prof. Cope Tells Why He Has No Desire
TO BE Governed by Them.

Prof. Cope Tells Why He Has No Desire
To Be Governed by Them.
Most men, writes Prof Z. ID. Cope in the
Popular Science Monthly, who have associated
much with girls and women remember how
many needed lessons they have learned
from them III refinement and benevolence;
and how they have had, on the other hand,
to steel their minds against their simless-
ness and pettiness And from youth to
later years they have observed one
popularity for which no remedy has been
yet found, and that is, pronounced frailty
OF the rational faculty in thought or action.
This characteristic is offset by strength
and elevation of the emotional nature,
which shines with inextinguishable luster in
the wife and mother. II is to this that man
renders the homage of respect, admiration
and such devotion as he is capable Of But,
are these the qualities for our governorsl
Men who display personal bias in ever so
small degree, unless accompanied by un-
usual merits OF another kind, are not
selected by their fellows for position of re-
sponsibility and trust Strong under
standing, vigorous Judgment, and the
absence of fear, favor and Affection" are
what men desire in their governors; for
only through minds of that character can
justice be obtained.
On account of their stronger sympathies
girls always think themselves the moral
superiors of boys, who arc often singularly
devoid OF benevClence, especially toward
the lower animals Some women imagine
for this reason, that their entire sex IS
morally the superior of the male But a
good many women learn TO correct this
opinion In departments Of morals which
depend on the emotional nature. women are
the superior; for those which depend on
the rational nature, man is the superior
When the balance IS struck, l can see no in
feriOrIty on either side But the quality of
justice remains with the male. It is on this
that men and women must alike depend,
aud hence 1t Is that women so often prefer
TO be judged by men rather than by their
own cev
