While it is altogether probable that all
the hostilities between this country and
England over the Behring Sea matter
will be on paper, and that eventually the
controversy will be settled to the salts
faction of both nations it cannot be de-
MED that there are some disquieting in
dications. That England has definitely
refused to renew the na0dus vsuendi APP
pears to be practically certain. That
means, of course, that she will not join
with us tc protect the seals against
poachers during the tendency of arbitra-
ton proceedings. If, therefore, the seals
are to be protected the United States
must do it alone. This would give us no
serious trouble provided England would
remain passive But if as Can
ada is appealing to her to
do, and as fairly well authenticated
reports indicates she has determined to
do, England should resist the seizure of
vessels belonging to her American DEEPEN
dency then a very grave condition of
things would be precipitated by the cap
ture of a Canadian poacher by our reve-
nue. cutters. The people of neither ma
ton desire war, and that of itself is q
pretty strong guarantee that there will
be no war. Yet it is not an absolute
guarantee, and it is within the range Of
possibilities that the pacific intentions of
the people may be nullified at any mo-
ment by the hot-headed act of some ma
val commander, if an American and an
English fleet make their appearance in
Behring Sea.

power required to move the machinery.
For electrical purposes 1900 horse
power is supplied, which is three times
as much as that provided at the Paris
exposition of 1889. The number of
electric lights utilized is 90, 900 sixteen
candle power incandescent and 5000
two thousand-candle power arc lights.
In the erection of the buildings named
100000 feet of lumber and 10000 tons
of iron and steel were used.
The Manufactures building is the
largest structure in the world. The
steel trusses supporting the roof span a
space of 1858 feet wide by 210 feet high,
and are by far the largest ever built.
The building required 1900, 600 feet Of
timber and 100000 pounds of iron and
steel. The flooring alone required
100000 feet of lumber and five car
loads of nails. Eleven acres of the roof
are glazed, requiring 40 car loads of
glass and $50 tons of putty. A million
men could stand at once on the floor.
Enormous as is this building, the APP
plications for space for manufacture
exhibits alone aggregate four times the
available space.

always. Its origin was with the artist
Apelles, who lived about 800 B. c. He
was the friend of Alexander and paint
ed his portrait. Apelles was won't to
place his pictures, when they were
nearly finished, outside his house, and,
conceaing himself behind them, listen
to the criticisms of passers-by Once
cobbler stopped to examine a picture
and pointed out to bystander fault

found the cobbler's idea was correct
and rectified the error The picture
was again displayed. The cobbier saw
it the second time, and, observing that
the blemish he had discovered was cor.

Items in Pear Culture.

A member of the Michigan State Hor-
ticultural society recommends cutting
back nearly two-thirds of the young
growth of dwarf pears. If this is not
done and they are not planted deep
enough to become half standards, he
says they will become top heavy and
tip over. A writer in Field and Farm
advises those who anticipate planting
pear trees next spring to select the rich
est ground for them. Pear trees under
ordinarily good conditions are heavy
yielders, and SO make heavy demands
upon the soil for plant food.

outdoor culture are endless SUGGESTIONS
of flowers during the summer season,
blooming at the north until stopped by
freezing weather. The Marie Van Houtte
is a tea rose worthy of admiration. Elk
quisite in form and color, vigorous in
growth, hardly less free Towering than
the common China, this rose is invalu-
able to every rosarian. For exhibition,
for buttonholes, for bouquets, for gen.
eral cut flower purposes or for making a
display in the garden (see illustration) it
is alike admirable.
The polyantha rose makes an excellent
stock for Marie van Houtte, which grows
and fourishes upon it especially well in
very light and sandy soils. Marie Van
Houtte was the first tea scented rose sent
out by the late M. Ducher, of Lyons,
having been first distributed in 1871.
The coloring of the flowers is charm
ing in its combination of lemon, yellow
and peach, and the beauty of the plant
itself is great. This valuable rose sue
ceeds everywhere, is not particular as to
soil, grows vigorously, blooms plenti-
fully and is of delightful perfume.
Other tea roses well suited for house cul-
ture are Bon Silene, flowers purplish
carmine; Niphetos, flowers pure white;
Perle DIES Jardins, sulphur yellow; La
France, lilac rose, and Hermosa, light

success from the application.
A member stated at a Missouri meet

uses a trowel. The plasterers trowel is
best. with the handle in the middle; the
masons trowel is too narrow.
The American Cultivator says: "There
are few plants, like pansies, primulas

thrive in northern light, and northern
window is useful to place blooming
plants in from time to time, thus pro-
longing the short life of the sprays of

Euchsias.

For general decoration few plants RI
val the fuchsia, and no house collection
is complete without one or more varie-
ties of this graceful flower. When a
compact, bushy specimen is desired,
pinch off the top of the plant when
young. This will cause shoots to start
out all along the stem. When the plant
has sent up a leader a few inches high,
pinch it off again, and thus repeat the
operation of pinching while the plant is
growing until the desired form is at
tanned. On the other hand, fuchsias
may be trained on trellises. Indeed this
is preferred by many. They can be
trained over an upright trellis, but Shee-
han thinks that the best form is that of
an umbrella. His directions are as fol-
lows:
Secure a strong, vigorous plant, and
allow one shoot to grow upright until
about two feet high; then pinch off the
top of the shoot. It will branch out and
form head, each shoot of which, when
sufficiently long, may have fine thread
or hair wire attached to the tip, by which

the plant, and all the shoots will then be
pendent. When each Of these branches
has attained length of eight inches,
pinch off the tip, and the whole will
form dense head, resembling an UNI
brella in shape, and the graceful flowers
pendent from each shoot will be hand
some indeed. Remember to keep the
stock clear of side shoots in order to
throw the growth into the head.

GROOMING HORSES.

low to Keep the Animals in a Healthy
and Thrifty Condition.
The principal object in grooming is
to secure cleanliness The system is
continually throwing off waste matter
through the pores of the skin, and if
these are allowed to get closed up it is
apt to produce an unhealthy state of
the system that if kept up will prevent
the best thrift.
By keeping the system healthy less
food is required to keep the animal in
thrifty condition. In addition to the
better health maintained careful
grooming is one of the best preventives
of lice. An animal that is allowed to
run down and At the same time to be-
come filthy is far more liable to become
lousy than if kept clean. 1t is not so
much the quantity of grooming done as
it is the regularity. A thorough brush
ing every morning will be of more
benefit than using the currycomb and
brush once or twice week.
The grooming should not be done IL
a way to hurt or fret the animal The
currycomb should not be too sharp, as
the skin Of some horses is very tender
and hard rubbing with a sharp comb is
positive torture, In many cases the
brush could be ussd to much better
advantage and the animal would en-
Joy it. When the team is at work in
many cases considerable trouble could
be saved by washing off the legs at
night when the teams come in, then
rub dry with cloth. This will not
only lessen the work of keeping clean,
but avoid the risks of scratches, as al
lowing the mud to remain on is lead
ing cause of this disease.
BY grooming regularly and keeping
in good, thrifty condition during the
winter the horses are in a much better
condition to do the spring work than
when they are let run down during the
winter It is often the case that it is
necessary to push the teams somewhat
in the spring, and if they are able to do
this it is very important to have kept
them in good condition during the win
ter. One Of the most important items
in doing this economically is careful
grooming. Feeding and caring for the
stock are the most important work to
be done on the farm during the winter.
1t always payseto take all reasonable
pains to keep the stock healthy and
thrifty.-St. Louis Republic
