FARMERS, ATTENTION !
A SPLENDID PAPER VERY CHEAP.

The american Farmer is the oldest agri-
cultural paper in America, having been
published in Baltimore since 1913.
Last Winter it passed into the hands Of
new management, who have greatly enlarged
and improved it. 1t is now superb journal
of 80 large pages, with handsome cover,
and finely illustrated. 1t Is issued on the
LIST and 15,h of each month, and gives
larger amount of better reading matter for
the money than any other agricultural paper
in the country. All the leading agricultural
writers contribute TO il, and great amounts
of money are constantly being expended to
secure the best available information on all
farming matters.
Tie american Farmer is thoroughly nom
partisan in politics, but is a strong advocate
Of protection upon every farm product which
comes into in uriOus competition with those
of foreign countries. 1t Is particularly
earnest in its support of the tariff on wool
and the development of the sheep-raiSing
industry of this country until our own
farmers will supply every pound OF wool
and mutton that our people require. 1t
deyOtes considerable space every issue TO
information in regard to sheep-raising and
the discussion of matters of interest to flock
owners. Besides this it has departments
devoted to Dairying, Poultry, Bookkeeping,
Horses, Swine, Grain-grOwing, Stock and all
branches of farming.
One of its peculiarly valuable features is
that it publishes in every issue the latest
issued maps of the Weather Bureau, giving
the temperature and rainfall all over the
country for the previous two weeks. This
information is of the utmost Importance to
every farmer in Judging the probable course
of the market. 1t is precisely the intorms-
ton that the grain spectators have been
securing at great expense, in order to shape
their operations. By means of these maps
the readers of The american Farmer are
given Just as reliable information AZ to the
condition of the crops everywhere as the
Spectators and operators have, and thus
are placed in exactly as good position to
Judge the course of the market.

The Marquis Of Boglia, Italian Ambassador TO
Spain. protested short time ago against the
speeches made at the Congress Of Spanish Cath
olics in favor of restoring the temporal power
OF the Pope, and against the projected organize
ton IN Spain of society to that end. Such
society, he said, would be direct affront to the
Italian Government.
To this protest the Duke of Tetuane, Minister
OF Foreign Affairs, replied that the Government
could not act in the matter OF the discussions Of
the Catholic Congress- as the laws of Spain per-
mitted free speech. But the society in question
would not be tolerated, as it would be illegal.

as result of study of strikes from 1854 to
1890. The Department has not yet collected
data for 1891, but from other sources it can be
shown that the decrease in the number Of
strikes apparent during the years 1889 and
1890 has been even more marked during the
last year and half

tion at Baltimore. contains some interesting
figures relating to the work of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States. After

Church in facts and fgarssas follows: Bishops,

was I'll, it has been 9l2 during the triennium
just passed, al increase oil over 20 per CENT,
and this increase is likely to continue, for the
number of candidates for holy orders is now
5S2, against All three years SINCE Or over 30
per cent.
The number Of lay readers has increased
from ,374 to 1905, or over 81 per cent. Church
edifces have increased from 1858 to 1851, an
increase of 61S. In other words, not taking
into consideration the number burned or other
wise lost, there has been church completed
every two days. The result is doubtless largely
due to the kindly aid of the Church Building
Fund.
The proportion of free churches to those
otherwise supported has increased from 46 per
cent to 40 per cent There has been marked
increase in the number of rectories-from 1,45S
to ,521. There is but one rectory to three
church edifices. On the other hand, there has
been q gratifying increase in the number of
church institutions: Church hospitals from 81

entire number of institutions from 362 to 49,
There have been IL, 179 more baptisms during
the last three years than in the three years
preceding, and 12,741 more combinations. We
are compelled to note, however, that while
,73s persons have been confirmed, only
80, 1876 are reported as added to the number of
communicates. The number of communicates
has increased from 43s, 1876 to $40, $50 or CO. 1855

A Noted Duelist,

Harry Vane Milbank, the duelist who
gained so much notoriety through his connect
ion with the Coleman Dray ton Borrowe scam
dal, died last week in Switzerland. The NOR
phine habit and fast life proved his ruin.
He was the only son of Sir Frederick Acclom
Milbank, Bart, and grandson of Mark Milbank,
who married the eldest daughter of the first
Duke of Cleveland. On the latter side of the
house he was thus descended from Sir Henry
Vane, who was knighted at POictiers in 1856.
Harry Vane was born ut Bedale on Dec. 29,
1s4S, and was educated at Elton. He passed
through the war in the Soudan as member
of the Blues, and since that time his principal
occupation has been to spend money, fight
duels, and gamble.
How many duels he has fought no one exactly
knows, and he seldom discussed them with
his friends. who assert that he never provoked
quarrel. He was considerable Of Don Juan,
and out of this fact most of his duels resulted.
The most sensational story about him is that
upon one occasion in Germany he dared to
escort 3 woman of high rank home from Q
ball. when her husband, brother-in-1aw. and
father, in succession, challenged him. In order
to s8vehis own life he killed each one of them.
He met the husband and was himself wounded.
Recovering after several months in hospital. he
was challenged by the brother-in-law, when he
was again wounded. Finally he fought the
father, and he too died as the result of his
wounds.
When the scandal growing out of the al
legged relations between Hallet Alsop Borrowe
and Mrs. Coleman Drayton arose, Milbank
was prominent figure in the long discussion
which followed. He represented Borrowe in
the trouble aud among right-thipking people
his and Borrowers conduct was strongly con-
demned. Out of this scandal grew duel he.
