lieve the country, their majority in Con
gress will devote themselves unreserv-
eddy to the removal of that cause. If,
on the contrary, they are placing the re-
sponsibility on the Sherman act simply
for political capital because that act was
passed by a Republican Congress, they
will complicate the question of its repeal
with other matters, like the tariff. The
conduct of the Democratic majority is
going to afford pretty good test of the
sincerity of their professions in regard to
the Sherman act.

TWENTY MILLIONS or HORSES.
Russia's Equine Possessions Far in Ad-
vance of Other Lands.
youths Companion. ]


The most populous horse country in
the world is Russia in Europe. 1t has
100000 900 of horses. The United States
comes next, with horse population of
more than 100000. In proportion to
the number of inhabitants the United
States is far richer in horses than Rus
STA. But in that proportion the United
States is in turn far surpassed by the
Argentine Republic. where, according to
the latest accessible figures, there are a
few more horses than people. The coun-
tries of Western and Southern Europe
are thinly populated with horses COM
pared with the American contingent and
Russia. Italy, with human population
of more than 30,000000 has only 10000
horses, but it has almost twice as many
mules and donkeys as horses. Spain has
only few more than 100000 horses, or
about one horse to every go people.
Most Of the cavaliers of Spain ride on
donkeys. The United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland has ON Y about 2, 000,-
600 horses.
The United States is the most popu
lous mule country in the world. 1t is
also, by many millions, the most popu-
lous pig country, possessing over 46,000,-
600 of swine. There is also, larger pro-
portion of pigs to the human population
than in any other country-larger even
than in Ireland, country that is popu-
larly, but mistakenly supposed to be the
Utopia Of the pig. The country of the
sheep, par excellence, is Australia. On
that continent there are few more than
100000 people, but there are 100000
sheep-that is to say, 20 sheep to every
man, woman and child. In the United
States we have only about 100000
sheep, which, though a larger sheep
population than that Of any other coun-
try except Australia and the Argentine
Republic, is not proportionately SO great
number as several other countries pos
sess British India has more cattle than
any other country, but the United
States has almost as many-upward of
81, 900, 900. However, the Argentine Re-
public again leads in the number of cat
tie in proportion to human beings. If
the cattle in Argentina were divided
equally among all the people, every man,
woman and child would have five cattle
to take care of, and there would be
enough left to give one additional critter
each to almost million of the people.
Considered from the point of view of
farm animals, the Argentine Republic is
probably the most important country in
the world.

Setting a Hen.
New York SUM-

Our esteemed contemporary, Uncle
Sans Live Stock Journal, utters a
clarion note of warning against foolhardy
precipitancy in settings hen. 'sThis is
the time, of the year," it says, "that every
one is setting hens or getting ready
and although there may be some few of
us here in New York below Canal street,
who are neither setting hens nor getting
ready to set them, we have no doubt that
the warning is timely.
Having placed the eggs in the nest, the
next thing to do is to secure hen for a
three weeks engagement. The best
time for setting hen is in the evening.
Select your hen and proceed cautiously.
Do not approach her with brass band
and torchlight procession, but go unat-
tended. Take her up tenderly and put
her head under your coat. Lower her
gently to the nest; never think Of setting
her with pile driver. Depart quietly
and say nothing about it. Do not go
cropping around in the darkness saying:
s'S-s-sh, there's hen onp'
After brief interval, go back and see
if the hen is still there. If she is not,
seek another hen of more sedentary
disposition. Nothing can be gained by
holding her on the nest with a mushroom
anchor. No harm results from picking
up one of the eggs and showing it to her
in friendly and confidential way, but it
is not advisable to break the eggs into a
saucer to convince her that they are fresh
The period of incubation is three weeks.
If hen thinks she can take week out
of this period. to scratch up the garden,
her tro1ly is off, and it is not worth while
to temporize with her.
Nothing is said by our esteemed con-
temporary about setting impatient hens
on eggs that have been Matching for
twenty days or so in a patent incubator;
but it is easy to see how such scheme
might lead to the utter Encouragement
of the others of the flock who were not
thus favored.
''You will fnd," says our philosophic
contemporary, that hens, like people,
are obstinate and differing in tempera-
ment.' Hence, it follows that one who
becomes successful in setting hens, ac-
quires at the same time something akin
to valuable knowledge of human ma
ture. Thus he is better equipped for the
struggle of life than if he had mastered
only that other lesson, necessary as the
knowledge may be at times; how to
break up setting hen.

SPEED OF CANNON BALLS.
How the Velocity of Projeetiie is Meas
ured When It Leaves the Gun.

The speed of every sort of projectile
can be measured now to the fraction OF
an inch per second, and by calculating
the resistance of the air, it can be deter
mined to the smallest fraction of sec
ond just how longit will take missile to
reach desired mark" said IAN engineer
at the Brooklyn navy yard.
"How? tits extremely simple. SO
simple that it's accuracy can not be ques-
toned. We have what you might call
20O-foot rule, and the time required to
pass over the first 200 feet from the
mouth of the gun is measured by it to
give the initial velocity of the ball or
she'll.
GA line 200 feet long is marked from
the mouth of the gun. At the 100-foot
mark fine wire screen is set through
which the ball must pass. Another
similar screen is set 100 feet beyond this
one, through which shot also passes.
The screens are made of very fine copper
wire and are electrically connected with
two strong magnets. From each of these
magnets depends steel rod held to the
magnets by the magnetic current. When
the shot breaks the wires OF the first
screen one of the rods is released and
falls. When it travels hundred feet
farther and passes through the second
screen the second bar falls and strikes
catch that releases sharp knife which
notches the first bar in it's descent. The
position of the notch is what we use in
calculating the speed of the shot.
''The slower the shot is travelling the
longer it takes to reach the second screen
and consequently the farther the bar will
fall before the knife is released to mark
it.
"By this means the speed of some can
n on balls has been found to be as great
5000 feet second where the charge OF
powder was heavy enough, but generally
the initial velocity of an ordinary mis-
sile is not over 1900 feet a second"

GERS of the government seem to be di-
vided into two factions-Till and
anti Tillman. The distinction between
them is that the former interprets the
CONSTITUTE III and the laws SO as to
please Tillman, while the guiding
principle Of Interpretation of the
latter is to displease him. 1t looks
as though the practical results of
this plan would be that all Of the Gov
ernor's official dispensaries would run
and all the unofficial rumshops also. To
the thirsty South Carolinian the situa-
ton bids fair to be an ideal one. Liquor
will be plenty, and competition will

Rev. Fl. w. Peck, of Honolulu, who is
now on a visit to Canada, is reported as
saying that the revolution in Hawaii was
not an American or planters movement
but general movement of whites, ire
spective of nationality, who believe that
the queen intended to deprive them of
their legitimate influence in her manage
ment of public affairs. Mr.. Peck adds:
"We appealed to the United States for
annexation because 80 per cent. Of the
trade of the islands goes there. If the
United States will not annex Hawaii we
will probably appeal to England or some
other foreign power. There can be no
going back, no retrogression, no mon
archy. Hawaii is the key to the Pacific,
and if the United States does not want
it other powers will not be backward in
profting by SO grand an opportunity"

The Portland PRESS is right in urging that
the first matter to be settled by the special ses
sion of Congress is the silver question That
was the evident purpose in calling the extra
session. 1t is demonstrab1e, however that
what is chiefly causing the timdity of capital
is the threatening position of the Democratic
party on the tariff But so long as the Demo
cratic leaders fear to touch the tariff question
and are disinclined to give the public any as
surance that they won't touch it within a speci-
fed time, nothing remains but to devote the
attention of Congress to the fiscal problem.
And to do this the tariff question should be
kept out of the discussion. Yet it is almost as
unreasonable to expect that it will be as it is to
hope that the Democratic party will tone up
public confidence with some definite assurance
respecting the tariff .-Kennebec journal.
The PRESS by no means believes that
the present financial distrust is due
chiefly, or even in large measure, to the
Sherman act. But that is the cause to
which all the Democrats are attributing
it, and Of course, if they are sincere in
their professions and are anxious to re-

There cannot be much doubt that if
the Democratic Congress would assure
the country that they did not intend to
NEEDLE with the tariff, business, espec-
tally the manufacturing business, would
be greatly helped. Nothing hurts bust
ness so much as uncertainty. There can
be no doubt but uncertainty in regard to
the tariff is an important factor in the
present depression of our manufacturing
Industries But the Democratic party is
pledged by its platform to destroy our
presentrevenue system, and of course it
is too much to expect that it will for
mally renounce all intention of doing SO.
The present uncertainty and distrust
bid fair to continue therefore until
Democratic intentions are formulated in
to laws. Whether business will improve
then depends on the character of those
laws.
