HONORABLE MENTION.

A good deal is being said in the prints
just now upon the subject of the natural
increase of population, some portions of
this country as well as in Europe show
ing a ratio of decrease instead Of increase.
The last national census makes some
rather remarkable exhibits in this con-
nection, among them the actual decrease
of population in two or three of the old
est states of the east. In marked con-
trast with this, though, the south and
west furnish some notable cases of fe-
cundity. The most noted, perhaps, is
the case of Robert Packard and wife,
living on farm near New Hartford, la. +,
who are the parents of twenty-nine hv-
ing children. The Oldest, man of
forty-nine, is married and lives on a
farm adjoining the parental homestead.
The other twenty-eight are single and
live at home. There is only one girl in
the family. The first birth was single
one, but the next five produced triplets.
The others arrived by twos The young
est child is now sixteen years of age.
Mr. and Mrs Packard ara healthy and
enjoying ripe old age in the midst of a
numerous family. If they were citizens
of France or England they would be
placed upon the governments pension
roll. Their example is, to our notion,
the highest mark of patriotic endeavor
that could characterize the citizen in
time of peace.

WAR PREPARATIONS DO NOT MEAN
WAR.

Every day there is mention in the dis
patches of some test of ordnance or new
gun or device for war enginery in our
own country, and scarcely day passes
| but some reference is made to military
matters in other portions of the world
A quite distinguished English military
authority attacks the popular belief that
/ recent improvements in fire arms and
other war paraphernaia has had the eff
| feet Of reducing the duration of a cam
paign. The belief is that warfare has
! become so murderous that one or the
other of the combatantS will be COM
| PEELED 10 surrender within a very short
time. He shows that under the various
military leaders of two or three genera
lions ago, campaigns were COM
! pleted in far shorter time
than now, the mortality was
greater, more battles We're fought
and greater things accomplished. The
war between Prussia and Austria was a
brief one, it is true, but then very few
events were crowded into it, and it is as
nothing compared with some of Napo-
looms campaigns.
The magazine rifle, the machine gun,
the artillery of tremendous penetration
and range, aud all the other recent mill
tary invention, it has generally been
believed, tend to greatly reduce the term
of warlike preparations, but these views
have not been altogether realized and it
looks now as though the chief beneficiary
from these improvements has been the
nation carrying on defensive war. The
country on the defensive has great adj
vantages and, if well armed and
equipped, can lengthen out the war
for years. The whole tendency of
modern military warfare is to make the
contest more expensive, and it is this
more than the improved weapons which
has brought about shorter campaigns.
War has become so expensive
a luxury that even the armed peace
that Europe is now maintaining is
bankrupting it, and it is recognized that
in the event of hostllities, it would be
almost impossible for Italy to mobilize
its army for lack of funds A long war
is difficult today because few nations of
Europe are rich enough to stand it. The
need of money, not magazine rifles,
promises 60 reduce the duration and
ravages of future wars.
Ii proof of this last statement were
needed, the fact that the demeanor of
the Russian government towards its
Jewish subjects was radically changed
because of the refusal of capitalists to
furnish it money for the support of its
military establishments in the field in
anticipation of probable complications
with some of the neighboring nations,
would be sufficient to establish it, But
while ii is true that money may prevent
wars, as indicated. il is equally true that
II may be used TO coerce peacabie na-
tons into belligerent actions toward
others.

The Garden of Eden.

The true site Of the Garden OF Eden has
been the subject of almost endless con-
lecture. The three continents of the Old
World have been gone over by theoIogians
in a vain search for its most probable loca-
tion. From China to the Canary islands,
from the Mountains of the Moon to the
coast of the Baltic, each country has been
the subject of search, and no spot sup
posed to correspond in the slightest degree
to the Scriptural description of the first
abode of the human race has been left I'M
examined.
The most ancient opinion, which is given
by Josephus. is that it was in the country
which lies between the Gapges and the
Nile. This view imagines Eden as being
a very widely extended territory, embrac-
ing all Of the country from the Indus on
the east TO the Nile on the west.
As the Garden" Is said 70 have been
eastward ia Eden, it is placed definitely
in the valley Of the Euphrates. Won Ham
mer, the famous Oriental scholar. pisces
Eden in Bactria; others locate Il in Babylo-
MIA, at the confluence of the Eaphrates
and the Iigris.

Hindoo antiquities, has laboTed TO locate

PRICES FOR AMERICAN BEEF.

From the New York Evening Post.
Everybody does not know that the
carcass of bullock costs the retail
butcher of New York city or vicinity
from 9 to 81 cents per pound, while the
same carcass. if it were shipped to Lon
don, would sell at cent per pound less
Notwithstanding the cost of transporta-
ton. This statement will be made by
any of the wholesale exporting concerns
in the meat trade of this city and the
west. The Eastmans company, of Fifty
ninth street and North river. John Mel
sons Sons, of Jersey City, Schwarzschild
G. Sullberger, whose sIaughterhouses are
on the East river, Swift Bros. and Ar
mour & Co., whose headquarters are in
Chicago, all acknowledge the fact that
American meat is more expensive al
home than it is abroad, but they also
| agree in asserting that the New York
| consumer does not pay more than just
and normal price, while the Londoner is
benefited by the cheapening influence OF
excessive competition.
The metropolis of Great Britain con.
sumeS weekly from $4,000 to 90. 900 car.
cases that are shipped from this port.
Their local distribution is concentrated
in Smithtield market and in the hands of
incorporated stock companies, which
went into the business with large capital
and surplus and are prepared to keep up
the struggle for supremacy until the
time comes for assessing their stock.
One of the heaviest shippers in this city
showed some figures which went to show
that on a recent cargo of dressed beef
fNN 7 L.
exactly $40 on every carcass. On an
other cargo, which be said he had care
fully manipulated, he expected to realize
just what the cost had been to him, in
GLIDING the payment of transportation,
insurance, ETC., which amounted to
cents per pound.
The marrow of this bone of con-
tention is simply this" he said. IN
America the demand for meat is
greater than the supply. while in Eng
land the supply is greater than the
demand. Everybody in this country
eats meat. 1t is a necessity. Relative
", few persons in England eat meat.
There il is an imported article of lux
ury. like French preserves here In 1889
American dressed beef commanded such
good prices abroad that all our slaughter
houses went into the export business,
and a proportionate boom was given to
the trade in London. Since then compe-
tition las been cutting prices, and now
we are all losing money, but, like players
in game of poker, we are ali ayerse of
being caught -bluffing,"
Another reasop why meat is so expen-
sive in this market may he found in its
unfitness for foed before the lapse of two
or three weeks after killing. During
this period the cellular tissues disappear,
and the meat becomes tender. Com
parativeiy few retail dealers have the
refrigerator facilities for storing car
cases until this slow process is com
pleted, and they are compelled to buy
halves or quarters from the dressed beef
concerns Ia the west, and TO paw the
extra cost OF transportation IN refriger-
ator cars.
There will be no prospect Of the for
nation of a meat Trust Ia New York and
London until some Of the weaker ex-
porters have been driven out of the bust
ness.

aAN oLp-FAsHIoNEp FouaTn. !,
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.


Ii is going to be ian old-fashioned
Fourth" throughout the country. The
difficulties through which the country
has passed in the last few months has
aroused all the patriotic spirit of the
American, and he is going to show 1t
on the Fourth.
Nearly all the papers north, south,
east and west note the fact that there Is
going to be more enthusiastic celebra-
ton this year than ever before. In Phil
adelphia, for instance, and most OF our
cities, the day has hitherto been honored
by military parade, and nothing more.
This year the entire national guard OF
the city, as well as a number of other or
CARNATIONS, will march to Independence
Square, where the Declaration of INDIE
pendence, Washington's farewell to the
army and other patriotic papers will be
read and addresses made.
In noticing the preparations for the
celebration, the Press makes the follow
ing remarks about Philadelphia, which
could be made with almost equal truth
about any American city:
The meeting in Independence Square and
the reading of the Declaration are the old
and time honored way of celebrating the
day, and ought not to be allowed TO fall
into disuse OF late, Fourth of July has
been too often treated rs mere holiday,
and has received little special recognition.
This is a serious blunder; loss both for
the present and the future. The Sons OF
the Revolution have taken up public
duty in preparing for national ceiebra-
tion, and their committee deserves public
support in its undertaking.
We quite agree with the Press. No
better plan for bringing the country to-
gether could be proposed. A few more
years of hearty celebration of the Fourth
will develop a genuine patriotic spirit
throughout the country as opposed to
the sectionaiism, on which the politicaI
parties have lived.

THE SOLDIER CENSUS.

The census bureau is sending out cir
cular letters throughout the country ask
ing for fuller information concern ing
the soldier population. While it is be-
lieved that the enumeration of the vet
Grams in June, 1890, by the census Office
is as complete as could have been ex-
pected, yet it IS known that an occa-
sional omission of name occurred, and
that many errors were made in the de-
tails of service reported to the enumer-
ators, either by survivors themselves,
who failed to appreciate the importance
of correct replies or by relatives or
friends in their absence, who were more
or less ignorant of the facts. To correct
such errors and thereby to make the
statistics of the living soldiers as perfect
as possible is now the aim of the bureau.
Veterans (who were overlooked by the
enumerators) who served in more than
one organization are requested to give
the particulars of their service in each of
them. Following are the questions to
which specific answers are desired:
1. Given name in full. If widow, write
given naIpe only, and add widow of
supplying the soldiers name.
9. Name enlisted under if different
from above.
g. Rank at muster-out.
4. Letter of company. Number of
regiment.
5. State mustered from.
6. Arm of service-cavalry, artillery,
infantry or navy.
z. Date of enlistment.
s. Date of discharge.
9. Present postoffice address.
10. If a pensioner or applicant, num-
Der of certificate or application.
If in regular army, write .. S. A; if
in navy, U. S. N; if in marine corps. U.
