Saccharine in Fruits.

The discovery of that substance known
as saccharine has almost rcyolutionized
the business of canning fruits. This

IT is certainly worth while for the
living to ponder upon the significant
fact, viz, that the record of a good and
stainless life is the most cherished
recollection of those who have goue.
No tenderness or eloquence are ex-
pended on the property which the dead
left to be divided, or on any purely
worldly achievement. Those who love
to speak of departed friends or kindred
linger upon shining and noble traits
of character, upon deeds fragrant
with affection, with unselfish devotion;
upon exhibition of high honor, courage
Gus conscience, steadfast adherence, to
exalted or humble obligations. Is it
not ever recognized when all is over of
worldly life, that the legacy of pure
name is the best of all, the one to be
most proudly and fondly preserved In
family circles and in social circles and
public reputef And this being as
clearly so as any one thing of which
human minds take cognizance, it ad-
dresses distinct challenge to us all to
live according to a high and generous
code, so that we may out live the grave,
and do good when we are no longer
visible in the flesh.

The most plausible reason for the
persecution of the Jews by the Russian
Government is its desire to pacify the
growing discomfort of the Russian
masses, and divert their angry temper
from demonstrations against itself. The
poverty and misery of the people are
blamed upon the evil presence of the
Jews. Hence, if the Jews can be driven
out, the misery and poverty will be
relieved. Sure enough when the Jews
are driven out OF community times
are better for awhile. The reason of
the improvement is that the people of
the community come into possession of
most of the possessions of the Jews.
They are forced to sell their property at
great sacrifice and their trade is
at once absorbed by their Russian
neighbOrs.

wha. Farmers Must Compete Arain.,

What Farmers Must Compete Against.
Recently the pampas of South America
have been broken up and seeded down to
wheat. But few years ago the Argen-
tine Republic did not raise wheat enough
to supply the wants of her own people.
This year tits calculated that her export
will exceed 100000 bushels. The
method adopted by her of disposing OF
her lands must lead to large increase
in production and larger ratio Of ex-
portation. Instead of disposing of her
lands In small tracts, which would make
homes for small farmers, she sells by auc-
ton in large tracts upon which wheat
growing can be carried on in the same
: wholesale way in which it has been car
ried on heretofore on the ''big farms'
along the Red River of the North, and
with the same absence Of any considera-
BILE amount of resident consuming popu-
latfon. Frank Vincent in his recent
work on South America describes the
wheat growing possibilities of the Argen-
tine Republic in such way as to demon
strate clearly that her competition in the
wheat market today is but a slight fore
taste Of the future.
Does any one pretend that If 1t wers
possible for US to strike every import
duty from the list and we opened our
ports to the world Russia would not 90
right on breaking up and seeding down
her vast area of bread producing soili
VIII any one pretend that England
would pause in her work Of developing
the vast agricultural resources of India?
VIII it be claimed for a moment that
the flood of wheat from the pampas of
South America would cease? Such
claims would be idle. Our ports are to-
day open to nearly all the products of
the Argentine Confederation. We take
her hides free, but she goes calmly on,
adding TO her competition In food prod
udts with US.
What Is the remedy 1t Is not In Free
trade. It Is favorite theory with the
Free-trader that if we buy largely Of a
nation that nation will in turn buy
largely Of us. But 1t is only theory
Experience shows Its utter falsity as a
fact

COMMON SENSE NEEDED.

The following from tie Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazette treats on prevalent
custom and one the subject of criticism,
almost every place that a crime has been
committed. The more repulsive the
criminal and the greater the atrocity of
the crime, frequently the more is this
nonsense, which amounts to a positive
evil, displayed by light Drained and
diminutive minded women:
Without some measure of sentiment
ality the world might possibly be a
dreary place, but the extreme phase of
the article as exhibited by Unbalanced
women in their actions toward repulsivs
felons can well be dispensed with. A
case in point is furnished just at present
at Washington, Pa, where a man
charged with the murder of a family is
becoming the darling object of feminine
consideration, made much of and treated
as though the hero of some meritorious
act, if the report of his "talking freely"
to a party of women the other day, who
are not represented as angered by his
throwing kisses at them, can be credited
That man of that kind can be elevated
by his crime into an object of morbid
devotion by the sex POLITICALLY presumed
to walk closer to the angels than does
masculinity, is one of the things not
easily accounted for in the limits of
brief article, but that there is some cure
for it no one can doubt. The cure con-
sists in part, at least, in larger applica
tion of common sense by prison officials,
who can do much to prevent the foolish
exhibitions which have become so dis
gusting. That such attentions to crimi-
mails have their roots in spirit of mis-
taken kindness is very slight mitigation
of the evil. 1t is not the criminal whose
hours are made pleasantest with flowers
and delicacies who is most likely to turn
his face toward repentance. Kindness
to violators of law, to be beneficial,
should be judicious, guided by common
sense and prudence. Otherwise it Is
only harmful"

Have, you know!
What we've met OF stormy pain
And of sorrows driving rain
We can better meet again
Ii it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When our tears fell with a shower,
All alone.
Were not shine and shadow blent
As the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For, We know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
just be glad.
