The American Type.

immigration Commissioner Weber is
of the opinion that the highest type of
civilized man will result from the blend
ing together of the various races that
come to America from Europe. He
believes that the highest qualities in a
race are the staying qualities, and these
are the ones that would reproduce in a
series Of generations in this free repub-
lie. Then from tile blend will come IN
time the finest type of mankind known,
the American type.
This may be true, within limits. It
is doubtful, however, whether the
swarms Of swarthy, squat Italians who
come to us from south Italy would dc
much to improve the American type.
They certainly would not, unless in
course Of time the American genera.
tions of them should become taller and
cleaner and less given to living sixteen
in room. But this possibility brings
us to the point we wish to make, Which
is that there is something in our climate
and spirit that tends to make the chill
dren of foreigners taller, more delicate
and more refined of feature than theil
parents. Their hands and feet are
smaller, and they show Discrimination
for the rough labor their ancestors were
So glad to perform. This Discrimination
for rough work appears to be marked

The Fence of the Future.

There are number of strong points in
favor of the Tuna Hedge as the fence of
the future, the advantage of this kind of
fence may be briefly Enumerated as
follows: It becomes a perfect barrier
against all kinds of domestic animals
after three years growth; does not sap
or impoverish the ground, being a strict
ly atmospheric plant, and will not grow
from the seed or by cutting the roots
hence will not spread, it grows only to a
certain uniform height and therefore
does not require trimming, it has been
thoroughly and successfully tested in
northern climates and does not kill out
in the winter time, it serves the double
purpose of usefulness and ornamen-
tation, as it is an evergreen and blooms
during three months of the year, an in
vitation is extended to thoroughly test
its merits, and every one will be con-
vinced that it possesses all the advant-
| ages claimed for it. Messrs. Johnson &
Payne are now taking orders for the
Tuna Hedge and have met with uniform
success. Any one wishing g living grow
ing fence something that will not spread
and will be a fence for all time to come
should give their orders now and get
| their fence started this fall.

Every year brings its evidence that
railway facilities are inadequate to the
full transportation of the immense
masses of freight which this country is
capable of turning out. Every year re-
peats its lesson in the freight blockades
and car famines, which show that the
railways are unable to perform the full
work they have undertaken. Yet the
production of the country is but frac-
ton of what it would be if cheap and
reliable water transportation were
opened from the headwaters of the Col
umbia and the Mississippi to the oceans.
Under such development the transpor-
tation of the higher classes of freights to
which the canals are unsuitable would
yield the railways constant and profta-
BILE traffic, while the waterways would
transport the large masses of cheap
freights at prices which would relieve
the railways of their burden. However
the policy of improved waterways may
be hampered by corporate greed and
jealousy, it is bound to succeed. 1t will
soon come to be recognized as a case
of the public interest versus the rail-
ways. 1t would be wise on the part of
the latter to acquiesce gracefully in the
policy of improvement before the issue
takes that unpleasant form.

rison's proclamation, but whom will en-
dorse Its every word. Truly have we
much for which to be thankful. Mr..
Harrison says:
''The gifts of God to our people during
the past year have been so abundant and
SO special that the spirit of devout
thanksgiving awaits not the call but
only the appointment of day, when it
may have common expression. He has
stayed pestilence at our doors. He has
given us more love for free civil institu-
tutions, in the creation of which his di-
recting providence is so conspicuous.
He has awakened a deeper reverence for
the laws. He has widened our philan-
thropy by a call to succor distress i'll
other lands.
He has blessed our schools, and is
bringing forward a patriotic and God
fearing generation to execute his great
and benevolent designs for our country.
He has given us great increase in mater
ial wealth and wide diffusion and con-

our people. He has given his grace to
the sorrowing. Now, therefore I, Ben
jamin Harrison, president of the United
States, do call upon all our people to OBJ
serve, as has been their wont, Thursday
the oath day of this month, November,
as day of thanksgiving to God for his
mercies and a supplication for his con-
tinued care and grace
This proclamation lisa timely reminder
that, despite all political differences and
our troublous campaignings, party
against party, we are still one people,
with one common country, and that a
glorious one. On Thursday next we
shall be prepared to observe after our
usual fashion our national fast day, but
not by fasting. We got over that long
ago and substituted feasting.

mufled tone, stands the old-fashioned house

As I passed within the door and up the

interest that the walls were lined with

only one head instead of two, of Edward

the bar sinister running right across it,
specially attracted my attention. The study
itself, q delightful room, lit up in the fam
