The American way is best. The real
root of the poverty and suffering in Eu-
rope is the vast standing armies the
Christian nations there think it neces-
sary to maintain in order to enforce the
gospel of peace and good will. A quarter
to half million idlers of the ablest bod
led male citizens of a country, to be sup
ported by the labors of women, children
and feeble old men, make difference
in the industrial resources and lower the
comfort and prosperity of the whole peo-
pie. In the United States, If q war
should come upon us suddenly, it would
take six months to year to make good
fighting soldiers out of our volunteers, as
it did in the last war. But that is better,
far better, than vast standing army.
Even If war should come upon us sudden
ly million well drilled militiamen could
be turned into soldiers with amazing rap
idity. But the United States needs an
ample and thoroughly drilled militia.

Flax Culture,

The department of agriculture has just
issued partial report on the culture of
fibTous plants, which is of interest to the
farmers of this country. 1t deals with
the fax and hemp culture in Europe, as
well as the present status of the same in
dustry in the United States. The author
of the report is Charles r. Dodge, special
agent of the agricultural department.
During the season of 1889 Mr.. Dodge
spent some six months in Europe, where,
among other things, he studied the
methods Of fibre culture there prevailing,
more especially that of fax and hemp.
He also gave particular attention to the
machines used in the manufacture of
fabrics.
Upon his return to his native country
he entered upon similar line of lnvesti-
CATION with view of bringing about q
knowledge of the progress and present
status of the fibre industry on both sides
of the Atlantic up to date.
After giving the results of his investi-
CATION of fax growing and the manufac-
ture of yarn and linen fabrics in Europe,
Mr.. Dodge says in relation to flax culture
in the United States: 1t is proper in the
very outset to look the facts squarely in
the face. There is at present produced in
this country very little fine fax that
would compete with the fine flax import
ed for manufacture into the higher
grades of yarn. He says that it is equal
~ true that the farmers in this country
do not now, nor have they for many
years, il ever, followed the careful
methods in culture, treatment, harvest
ing and retting the straw, practiced in
the flax growing countries of Europe.
AS there are degrees of skill in growing
fax so there are grades in its manufac
ture. Therefore, it must not be assumed
that because we cannot at once produce
q quality fit for table, domestic or linen
thread that we cannot produce fibre fit
for any form of manufacture from fax.
Mr.. Dodge is persuaded that, with pro-
per encouragement, fine fax can be pro-
duced in this country There is no rea-
son why hemp culture should not be OK.

The State Fair.

Hon. II. W. Stone, Sr., has received
letter from VIM M. Legget, secre-
tary OF the Minnesota State Agricul-
tural Society, under date of May 9TH,
in which he says:
II am hearing from exhibitors all
over this state and some from Wis
consin, nearly all promising to be on
hand; some that have not exhibited
before. We should improve over last
year % per cent. I hope TO have
eight or ten young herds for each
class, beef and milch breeds, bred and
owned by exhibitors. Can't you show
a young herd In this class?"
Attention Is called to the fact that
the premiums for young herds are
offered only on ANIMALS owned and
bred by the exhibitors, giving Just en-
enlargement to those who breed good
stock rather than to those who buy it !;
also to the very liberal premiums
offered for grade stock. Farmers who
are grading up their live stock by the
use of pure bred males are especially
invited to enter their best specimens
and compete for these premiums, and
every facility and attention will be
given to such as respond to this in
vitation.n

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
uuires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucus surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation OF
the disease, and giving the patient

Cremation OF Living Lunatics.

The fire fiend laughed when thin
tongue Of fame burst upward through
the ventilator shaft of the pauper lunatic
asylum at Tongue Pointe, in Canada, nine
miles from Montreal. It was the oppor-
tunity he had awaited for years. Here
were 1900 pauper lunatics. The prov
ince of Quebec farmed out their keep for
800 head, and the keep was according
to the price.
No attempt was made to enforce any
of the new plans for ameliorating the
condition of the crazy ones and restoring
their reason. The st. Jean de Dieu
asylum was prison for lunatics, moth
ing else.
Fires occur In asylums and are fright
full calamities. This all the world knows
Yet when the thin fame burst from the
top Of the air shaft, and the fire fend
laughed and rubbed his hands In glee,
there were no appliances for fighting
him. Engines were telegraphed for to
Montreal. They rushed to the rescue
over the nine miles with galloping horses,
but when they reached Tongue Pointe
and began to play on the buildings the
water supply of the whole great asylum
was exhausted In five minutes. They
were helpless. And sixty screeching,
gibbering lunatics were burned to death.
Two days later came that other CHASTITY
cremation Of helpless ones in Chenango
county, N. Y, where ten idiots were
roasted alive, locked fast in their cells.
VIII 1t be believed that here again, in
the enlightened and progressive United
States this time, ''there were no proper
facilities for fighting fre?" The lunatic
asylum, the poorhouse and the idiot
ward went up in flames that carried on
their wings ten hapless souls away from
this world, which to them had been so
cruel.
"No facilities for fighting fre!" The
buildings were not even Of brick. The
structures in which 100 unfortunates
were bolted and barred were three story
wooden barns. Let us have an overhaul
ing of all the asylums In the country.
Most of those who were burned persisted
because they huddled together and could
not be got out of the wards. Beyond
doubt the fire drill, which has been SO
effective in well conducted schools, could
be made available with q large number
Of paupers and lunatics, The drill would
be a means Of entertaining them. too.

Following grand old Albrecht Durer,
the first engraver, came a flood of cheap
and nasty imitators, who SO degraded
the art of engraving that the public Of
that time became Disguised with 1t and
would have none Of it for century or
more. If the same result does not follow
the great boom Of newspaper illustration
in our time, it will only be because the
picturesare made so good that the pub
lie cannot tire of them.
Few achievements of this generation
are more interesting than the processes
of newspaper picture making. Say a
woman is murdered at midnight. Her
portrait is wanted for next mornings
paper. What process will enable the
publisher to lay the best picture before
his readers most quickly There are two
main methods. One of these is called
the chalk process, the other the zinc pro-
cess By the former metal plate is COW
cred with a thin coating of chalk and
plaster of Paris. The image is then
drawn with a steel point upon the coat
ing, the sharp point cutting down to the
plate. Hot type metal is next poured
over the drawing and cast thus made
for printing.
The other, the zinc process, is the one
in use by The American Press lAssoci.
alton, which has the largest news Japer
illustrative plant In the world. It con-
sists in making pen and ink drawing
and photographing it upon sensitizea
zinc plate, into which the picture is Their
etched with acids. The defect of ths
chalk process for portraiture is that ar
lists say it is mechanically impossible tc
properly make sketch and an engraving
at the same time.
A rivalry has sprung up between the
advocates Of the two methods, which is
of interest to all who favor newspaper
illustration. A contest as to speed as
well as the quality of picture made by
the two processes recently took place.
Mr.. Wagstaff, of The Atlanta Evening
Journal, made by the chalk process q
picture of Gladstone, ready for printing
in about an hour and three quarters, Mr.
s. Fl. Horgan, photo-engraver Of the
American Press Association, then tried
his hand on the same subject, Gladstone
Mr.. Xenope, the artist, made pen and
l. 81 IS he oil o@o iorlr
teen minutes by the clock. Then the
photo-engraver took it in hand and com
pleted the cut, ready for printing, in two
minutes less than an hour, making The
whole time for the process an hour ant
sixteen minutes, the portrait being fa1
superior to that by the chalk process
Naturally pen and ink can produce more
delicately flowing and artistic lines thar
chalk and steel.
There are not many things new. OLD
Nicephore Niepce, the first photographer
more than sixty years ago in France hi

upon a metal plate and then printing

made some pictures in this way. Nice
phore Niepce was therefore the first photo
engraver. But he died in 1888, and nj
description of his discovery was extant
The knowledge diea with him, to b

piled to the pouring out Of such an ocea,
of newspaper pictures, good and bad, a
