SAGE AND sAvORY.


AS FERvoR wakes strong it becomes
ardor.
EXPERIENCE ripe IS in the field of en-
deavor.
ONE cannot show displeasure and hide
chagrin.
EXTREMES meet when the cynic en-
counters a philanthropist
EFFORT finds congenial companionship
when it meets with approval.
He who would better his circumstan-
ces must improve his opportunities.
IT is essential that ability be marked
1t might be lost sight of in the crowd
else.
BECAUSE speech has failed it does not
follow that the mind must needs be
bankrupt.
ONE trouble with the matrimonial
match is that young people are too apt
to make light of it.
IT is safe to say that he who nurses
his wrath does not draw on the milk of
human kindness for the sustenance.

Canadian stumpage would be increased,
not lowered, and the import duties now
part of the revenue of this country
would be lost; that, the question, there
fore, is whether the lumber resources
of Canada shall be developed, or the
lumber interests of this country, partic-
ularly of the Southern and Pacific Co.'s
section, be protected; that. in view of
these considerations this convention
earnestly and respectfully protests
against the passage by Congress of any
legislation looking to the removal OF
duty on imported lumber.

method of attacking the Mckinley tariff
law, which is stronger tnan ever since

be defeated, which would kill the free
coinage bin for the present. No caucus
has been held and none is probable.
and it is regarded as certain that few

obvious; and. as Secretary Rusk OBJ
serves, an increase in our crop exports
of only 10 per cent. would put sixty
million dollars year more in the
pockets of our farmers. The vaiue
of our crops for 1891 was seven
hundred million dollars greater than il
was for 1890.
This is a good showing, but in numer-
Gus ways, the Department Of Agriculture
is working TO make better and still a
better showing hereafter. not only i'm
proving the yield of land now under
cultivation but making land more
cultivatabie. and lowering prices by
bringing the farmer and the consumer
into closer relations, and thus eliminat-
ing the huge profits of the middleman.
For one thing, experiments have been
making in sugar manufacture, with a
view to retaining for ourselves the hum
bred million dollars that we 1nually
pay for the imported article. Sugar
cane, sorghum, and beets, are the three
sources of commercial sugar.
The Department has shown that the
southern belt of our country can profit
ably produce the first, the middle belt
the second, and regions farther north
the sugar beetsA A process has been
discovered whereby sorghum, treated
with alcohol, yields double the amount
ofsugar thatit has been hitherto possible
to obtain from it. Our beef resources
are incalculable; and altogether the
prosperity of home made sugar is as
sured. Again, a thorough study of
forage grasses has been made, in order
to discover which varieties are best
adapted TO given localities, and especi-
ally to obtain grass which will flourish
IN arid regions without irrigation. Such
a grass las been found; it is as good as
that in the moist lands, though it is
slower in its rate of growth. In the
course of few years millions of acres,
now barren, will have been given to
agriculture by this discovery. which
but for the Department of Agriculture
might never have been made. Scarcely
Of less Importance is the investigation
of the best means whereby swamp lands
may be reclaimed. and of the preserva-
ion and distribution of forests, so as to
both prevent disastrous floods on the
one hand and to restrict arid areas on
the other. -.Iulian Hawthorne IN Ltppt1s-

The Good Work Goes On!

The Secretary of Agriculture is not
satisfied with wringing from the officials
of foreign nations reluctant consent
10 allow our good things to reach their
hungry populations; ne aims to appeal
directly to the populations themselves.
Until very lately, for example, the use
of corn and corn moal as human food
was almost unknown in Europe-the
people imagined it was fed to animals
only. Mr.. Rusk dispatched agents to
the other side to educate these benighted
people. The success Of these agents
has been great Corn bread is likely
to become as popular on English break
fast tables as mullins and crumpets are
now: and in Berlin "corn kitchens
have been arranged for, and mixture
of rye and corn is to constitute the
bread ration supplied 10 the German
army.
This is only the beginning Of the
good work in the case Of a single cereal,
In its relation to foreign consumers
alone. The prospects for the future are

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pronounced it
q local disease, and prercribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven ca.
tarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t

BLOODY FIGHT IN KENTUCKY.

Negroes Attack a Party of White Men
and -Four of the Former Are Dead.
EDMONTON, KY, March News has
just been received of a bloody fight
which took place at Clarlk's cross
roads, 5 miles east of this place, be-
tween a party of twelve wagoners
(white) on one side and eleven negro
farm hands on the other, in
which four of the negroes were killed
and three or four wounded and two of
the wagoners seriously hurt One of
the wagoners, while passing along the
road, struck a negro with his whip
and cursed him. The negro gathered
ten of his friends together and
started for a distillery where the
wagoners had a habit of stopping.
When they arrived at the dis
tillery all of the wagoners were
inside of the house purchasing whisky,
except two. These the negroes set
upon with rocks and clubs and would
have made short work of them but for
the timely appearance of the ten 9TH
ers, who sprang among them and in a
short time shot and killed four and
wounded three or four others, two of
whom, it is said, cannot recover. The
sheriff and a posse have gone to the
scene of the trouble.
