 Let's think on our marcies."
 Mrs. Stowe probably did not intend this saving, which she puts in the mouth of Uncle Tom, for lfumor, but under the circumstances it was the bitterest satire. The negro was sitting in his cabin wait ing for the trader to whom he had been sold to take him from all he loved. His wife was lameuting and the children were sad. But Uncle Tom rallied for a desperate effort, and tried to think of some good in his lot to be thankful for
 Time has been-yes, many times have been-when mankind was fully justified in refusing to be content, for surely it cannot be that Infinite Wisdom desires the creature to be satisfied with misery: but that time is not now. If there ever was an era when the human race could congratulate itself on exemption from many evils, and hope for the early re- moval of many more, we are now in that era. Outside of Russia and Central Africa it is not easy to find a region where there has not recently been an im- proyement. So let us think on our marcies," and specify few of them.
 Peace is now the rule, war the rare exception. Few people realize how short hat ls said. Historically it was but yesterday that every man was occasionally sol dier, and very many men were never anything else. Consider this one fact, that in the short interval between the English settlement of our Atlantic coast and the general peace of 1Sl4-15, there were six long and bloody wars between England and France alone Counting the Napoleonic wars as but one), and that these followed upon two centuries of al- most continuous war, in which religion was the chief factor.
 The thirty years war in Germany 1e- stroyed, as some have estimated ,one- third of the human race in an area of near ly 5000 square miles, made one third of that area a desert and reduced non-com- batants to such misery that every sort of animal was eaten, the bones of horses killed on the battlefield were boiled to secure a little nutriment, and such things as nettles, tongue grass, grass seeds and the buds of various bushes were greedily sought as palatable addi- tions to the scanty bill of fare. The wars of Louis XIV reduced the French peasantry to such misery that in the mountain region they fought with wolves and dogs for refuse bones and stuffed themselves with nettles, and the traveller often found by the wayside the corpse of the laborer who had fallen dead at his work, and in his mouth the grass which he had chewed in the rage of hunger.
 And such horrible wars as these were! Whole cities were swept from the face of the earth. whole provinces were given up to hcentious soldiery, whole sec

and a years supply of flour for one man
 can be sent from Minneapolis to Man
 chester for two days wages of an En-
 glish cotton spinner. One important
 consequence is that the proportion of
 overworked and underfed people is vast
 ly reduced. Despite the growth of pop
 ulation, pauperism in England has de.
 creased by one-half in forty years, and
 the increase in the United States is due to extraordinary causes which, let us
 hope, will soon lose their potency.
 We have almost abolished famine
 We are fast going on to abolish epidem- ics and contagious diseases. Already the word "plague" has but vague pop
 ular significance. The Sweating Sick ness" and the "Black Death" are thought of, if thought of at all, only as historic horrors; the cholera is found to be pre- ventable, and yellow fever is shorn of half its terrors. The smallpox, says Macaulay, was once "most terrible of all the ministers of death, filling the church yards at frequent intervals, al
 ways threatening, always tormenting those not yet stricken, leaving on the few it spared most hideous traces, turn ing the babe into changeling at which the mother shuddered, and making the maiden's eyes and cheeks objects of hor- TOT to the lover" Today how many can count among their acquaintances a per. son under fifty years of age who is pit ted?' Each annual convention of med ical men adds to the list of preventable diseases. Even the dreaded diphtheria and scarlet fever are held within mar row bounds, and in many sections to have the typhoid fever is counted as sort of anti-hygienic sin.
 "Let's think on our marcies." The United States has now enjoyed the longest peace in its history. It is certain that days work will produce twice the amount of good things it would in 1900, and some say thrice. The average of health is much better. The average length of life has increased. Neverthe- less there are those who maintain that material progress has been contemporary with sort of moral retrogression. in- sist upon the contrary, but concede that it is not so easy to set forth the proofs, as they are not of statistical sort. Yet if it were worth while I am very sure it could be clearly proved that we are on the whole far more humane and gen. erous than our ancestors, that there is less intentional cruelty and far more un- selfish charity, that fewer masters op- press their servants, fewer parents are harsh to their children, and very, very few husbands are unkind to their wives. In short, by natural selection and sur vival of the sweetest, humane sentiments | have become organic in our race. Once | more, therefore, "let's think on our J. H. BRADLE.

 The creased trousers have had their day. The lesser swells have just begun to emulate this fashion as it goes out of favor with the tip-toppers The fact that various plebeian devices were re- sorted to to secure an imitation of the correctly creased effect, as for instance by pressing the neither garments over night between the mattresses, bereft the fad of its exclusiveness to the minds of the swagger set, and when it latterly be- came noised about that one object of the crease fold was that the trousers would hold their shape longer, this was the final straw-for a true swell can never be at comfort when abroad with badge of economy in his makeup It is curi- ous fact that this peculiar tangent of fashion never was made manifest in the trousers of full dress!-Clothier and Furnisher.

L>0R SOME TIME A GREAT WANT HAS
 II been felt by the orange grower of southern California for Fertilizer adapted to this fruit. We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange Srower our "0range Tree Fertilizer" It is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid ammonia and other ingredients, and Is complete manure for growing trees, from time Of setting out to full maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is used, on account of their dfstaste for the phosphortc acid, which is very helpful to the tree--either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduOus fruits in California the use of fsuperphosphates. according to Prof. HilRRrd, will be found much better adapted to the purpose than either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- prived by It's long continuance m the cultiya- ton of such crops. In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly mixed with the seil before irrigating. The quantity used on old trees eording to the age Of the tree--tree years otd, pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. lf the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, a greater quan tity may be used to good advantage. The fer. ,ilizcr may be applied at any time before rain or irrigating. Price, s36 per ton.
