A lover is one driven hither and
thither by doubt and longing; whose
every action gives to himself dissatis-
faction; whose every sensibility, 1nerged
into that of anxious excitability, poised
delicately as a magnetic needle, fuctu-
ates between hope and despair. Who
experiences the involuntary departure
of his own self worthiness to the in
crease of that of his idol, thereby rem
dering that object seemingly beyond
his reach.-Cor. Philadelphia Music and
Drama

PUBLIC OPINION.
ENCOURAGING.


Cleveland Leader.
In the ten southwestern counties OF
Ohio, which are certainly no more than
a fair average of the State, 80 per cent
of the farms are free from all mortgage
indebtedness. OF the 20 per cent. that
are mortgaged, more than four-hfths are
encumbered for purchase money, i'm
proyements, or in order that the farmer
could interest himself in some other
business. Not three farmers in one
hundred are in debt because of bad
management or crop failures. These
are census figures. They are the best
possible answer to the villainous Demo
cratic Misrepresentation as well as re-
markable tribute to the good manage
ment and business shrewdness OF the
farmers of Ohio, and proof of the general
fertility and prosperity of the State
No wonder the Peoples party made nc
headway in the country districts last

INTELLIGENCE AND IMMIGRATION.

INTELLIGENCE AND IMMIGRATION.
New York Press.
That is a good suggestion of Mr..
Charles Stewart Smith in the North
Aaoericdn Reoieac that an act of Congress
should be passed requiring all intending
immigrants over Is years of age to ap-
pear before an American Consul in the
country from which they desire to emf
CRATE, and receive from him certificate,
to be presented on arrival here, that the
immigrant can read and write his or her
native language. The adoption of this
suggestion in practice would exclude at
least the ignorant, and also large pro-
portion of the vicious, from the number
of those admitted to our shores.

HOW WE SELL BREADsrUFFs.


Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
Advance sheets from the Bureau OF
Statistics of the Treasury Department
show phenomenal increase in the ex-
ports of breadstuffs in March of this
year, compared with March, 1891, the
total being almost twice as much; while
for the nine months ending March 81 the
total value of breadstuffs exported was
nearly three times the value of the same
exports in the corresponding period of
last year.
The farmers of the United States sent
abroad in March of this year, breadstuffs
valued at $23,072, ,442. In March, 1891,
these exports were valued at l2,37o, l3O.
In the nine months ending with March
such exports amounted to the immense
value of 1926, ,15S, ,912, against $S5, 5,252,-
026 for the same part of the preceding
II months.
The bulk of these exports was wheat
and wheat flour, the shipments of the
former in March amounting to S,276, ,l05
bushels, valued at $8.500,347, against
4,961,0OO bushels and $4,462, ,19l in
march, 1891, and in the nine months
aggregating 124, 1852 bushels, worth
$l30,278, 1868, against 36,115,003 bushels
and $3l, 1882, 400 in the same time of the
preceding year. The exports of wheat
flour increased in March from 1,240, lo5

to 1,6O8,875, and rye, from none in
March, 1891, to 713,177 bushels in 1892.
These are notable increases in the
contributions of the United States to
the food supply of the world, and the
bounty of Nature to the farmer has been
ably supplemented by the benefcient
operation of the reciprocity feature OF
the Mckinley law, which has opened to

enabled him to lay down his produce in
foreign ports on advantageous terms,

The obiection to ster,lized MIlk.

All methods of sterilization that are
in use in this country have the disad-
vantage of giving to the milk the taste
which is peculiar to boiled milk, and
also of rendering it less easily absorbed
by the body. In France and Germany
a method has been adopted which ac-
complishes the purpose without injuring
the taste of the milk.-Professor II. W.
Conn in Popular Science Monthly.
