Prof. Freeman on tho State of Europe.

Prof. Freeman OH the State of Europe.
Except Lord SALISBURY. there is perhaps
no Englishman better qualified to discuss
tho dangers that threaten the peace Of Eu-
rope than Prof. EDWARD A. FREEMAN. who
sets forth his views upon the subject in the
November number OF the Forum. Indeed.
although the head Of the British Foreign
Office has earlier opportunities Of discern.
ing the mere occasions Of war. the deeper
causes probably reveal themselves more
clearly TO tho prescience Of the historian
acknowledged to bo the highest English
authority on the past and present condition
Of those southeastern countries which con-
stitute one Of tho chief storm centres OF
European politics.
It Is common mistake TO look on war
as something depending wholly or mainly
ON the caprices Of princes and diplomatists.
We need not say that this notion is not
shared hy Prof. FREEMAN. He admits.
jpdeed. TINT there arc several persons In
Europe, any one OF whom could kindle the
flame OF war In moment. with reason or
without reason. But because ALEXANDER
III. or WILLIAM II. or even FRANCIS JOSEPH
might do this, 1t by no means follows that
any one OF them would. Consciously or
unconsciously. thoy are all influenced by
national interests and by powerful currents
Of public opinion. It is. therefore, these in-
terests and these currents which VIC should
keep in view.
There are. In Prof, FREEMAN's Judgment.
real causes at work at the two ends OF Eu-
rope which mako war possible at any mo-
ment. In western Europe. for example.
there Is IN abiding source OF danger 80
clear to the eyes OF all men that none can
overlook or misunderstood II. This is the
temper OF Franco toward Germany. and
the word France is used in the largest and
weightiest sense, for the feeling OF ami
mostly IL shared by every man In the na-
ton. Every statesman and every voter
longs to win back the lands lost In 1871, and
ts eager to 60 to war with Germany for that
end at tho hrst favorable conjuncture. It
is certain. on the other hand. that the Ger
man nation is rs determined to keep the
ceded parts Of Asace and Lorraine as the
French nation Is resolved to recover them.
Here. thon. is deadly opposition OF inter-
osts and wishes between two OF the fore
most peoples Of Europe. France-not
merely tho rulers OF France but the nation
itself--nisy at any hour sock for war; and
Germany-not merely the ruler OF the en-

Sheehsn and Vrooman.

The Republicans are sending out VRoo-
MAN pastors In grent numbers to Democratic
voters. Tho pastors are accompanied by
tho statement that Mr.. VRooMAN did not
want to go upon the ticket this year for
Lieutenant Governor. and that while he is
n pcraoual friend Of Mr.. FAssETT, he repro
scnts different lines Of political policy"
II this means that the Hon. JOHN w.
vRooMAN Is not PIArr Republican. the
statement is true. II 1t means that Mr..
vRooMAN is personally u respectable gen.
tleman, who is neither chiidishly silly In
his methods Of self-assertion. nor habitual-
~ and irresponsbly mendacious. we have
no doubt that the statement is true. like
,yise. But this Is certainly no reason why
any Democrat In the State Of New York
should DO expected to impose VRooMAN
pastor upon the name OF the Hon. WILLIAM
+. SHEEHAN for Meutenant-Governor, and
no good Democrat will do that thing.
II vRooMAN's character happens to be
superior to FAssErr's. it is VRooMAN's own
fault that he is now playing second fiddle
to that very light young gentleman. II
FAssErrs chances Of election are regarded
as so poor by Mr.. VRooMAN's friends that
they arc making an independent canvass
for the candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
their anxiety and efforts are OF no special
interest to Democrats.
The solid vote OF the New York Democ-
racy Is due to WILLIAM +. SHREHAN. both
because he represents with brilliant ability
the principles OF the party and because his
personal character and his record in public
life entitle him to loyal support from every
Democrat living anywhere between Mon
tsuk Point and Fort Niagara.

THESHAGBARK HICKORY.

This variety of the hickory takes its name
of shagbark, or shelibark, from the shaggy
and ragged appearance Of the bark when
the trees lave attained a fair age, the bark
hanging in long strips or pieces from the
main stem or trunk, making 1t difficult to
climb. II is q tree of slow growth, and.
like other varieties of the hickory, requires
a strong suil for vigorous growth. 1t is of
tall, upright growth, and has mover yet. to
our knowledge, been grown regularly for
its nuts. 1t is rot difficult TO grow, and
there is no reason why it could not be pro-
ftably planted, as its nuts are always
salable at good prices, confectioners aud
nut dealers calling for large quantities at
all seasons of the year. Being of slow and
upright growth from twenty to twenty-five
feet apart will be found sufficient space,
each way. to give it all the needed room
for many years. 1t is long lived, and its
wood being strong, exceedingly tough and
durable, it can always be sold at good fig
ures when it is desired to do so.

DOES PAY.

While there are numerous complaints
on every hand among farmers that their
occupation no longer pays. there is OF
man IN Berks county, Pa, who thinks
differently. This is DIR. James C. Liv-
ingood, of Womelsdorf, who is, undoubt-
eddy, one of the largest owners Of farm
land, all under high state Of cultivation,
in Eastern Pennsylvania. DR.. Liyingoed
is seventy-three years of age, and has been
engaged in the active practice of medicine
for over talf a century. He first invested
in farm land over fifty years ago, and has
been steadily increasing bis holdings until
now he owns about a dozen of the finest
and most prolific farms 10 the entire
Lebanon valley, a~ggregating about 1000
acres in extent. One farm is located on
the outskirts Of Womelsdorf, and none of
the others are located more than four miles
from the borough. Tit lowest which he
the highest price was s155 IN acre. DIR.
Liyingood has had frequent opportunities
to invest his money ID enterprises which
promised him a large return, but he con-
sidered none of them as safe as farming,
the profits of which, he found, while
not large, were always sure and sufi-
cient to pay for the investment.
1t is estimated that DIR. Livingood;s farms
are worth all the way from 600, 900 TO
$3.50, 900. He does not conduct any ofhis
farms himself, but has reliable tenants
who farm the places "on shares'-that Ia
for a certain percentage Of the crops
generally one-half. For some years past
DR.. Livingood made from 3 to 4 per cent.
on his investments, with which he is per-
fectly satisfied. During the war he says
he made as high as s aud 10 per cent. He
receives his share OF the wheat and other
grain products from his tenants, and sells
it him self when he finds a favorable mar
ket. During the time that he has been ia
the business be says that wheat has sold
as Low as seventy-fge cents. and as high
as 1920. His experience has taught him
that farming viii pay if a property can
be purchased at 500 an acre or less.

TnE LANGUAGE 0FaNInALs.

Every oue who has heard a dog or a hors
welcome its master with explanations of
JOY, or a cat plaintively moving for its
food, ought to believe that animals can
talk. The dog has different sounds to ex-
press hunger, pain, JOY, sorrow, thanks
and fear. Birds have different songs aud
notes to exnress their feelings. We re-
cognizc their n Of victory and OF love,
as well as the notes OF anger and fear. 1t
is evident that these notes are understood.
not only within the limits of one species,
but among other birds; for different tribes
often make 4 common cause Of joy and
battle. Monkeys express their passions,
fears and desires by ~ysIions cries and
gestures. Some Of the most uneisilized
Languages are but little richer than theirs.
Abbott tells us that crows have twenty
seven distinct cries or utterabees. Many
scientists believe that certain sounds made
by fishes are for the purpose Of expressing
their feelings. 1t is clear Ia the careful
observer that language is universal
wherever there is sensation, aud al animal
life more or less inter communicative.
