Cost of british Defenses.

The British Empire spends as rule
upon defense from $3.50, 100000 to $780,
100000 a year, of which the military
expenditure Of India on mobile land
forces at home, forms the largest item.
Almost the whole of this vast sum is
expended out of British loans or taxes
Under the control of the parliament Of
the United Kingdom, and out of Indian
taxes under the indirect control of the
house Of commons through the secre-
tary Of state, who is 4 member Of the
government of the day. This expendi-
ture, although vast, although open to
the reproach that it does not do more
than maintain feet slightly superior
to that Of France, and an army of very
small numberS-iS o fieahite as COM
pared (in it's i'll effect upon the wealth
of the natiOn) with the military ex-
penditure of Italy, or, In a less degree,
with that Of other continental powers.
The evidences Of the overpressure of
taxation in India itself, many as they
are, are slight in comparison with those
which are present in the case of Italy !;
and it may be assumed, therefore, that,
while the taxpayers of the United King
dom and Of India may make their
voices heard in insisting upon better
value for their money, the expenditure
will not in itself be brought to an end
by bankruptcy.-Sir G. W. Dixie in the
North American Review.

The Episcopal view of Heaven.

The Episcopal view Oh heaNen'
Probably every man has at some time
or other asked himself the question,
speculated or wondered what heaven
Is. What may we believe with regard
10 it? Very few words viii suffice to
tell what the Episcopal church has had
to say on the subject. 1t is not one on
which she has spoken definitely or ex-
cept in q very general way, and for the
best of reasons. There is little definite
ly revealed If we turn to the two
great symbols which she has adopted as
The expression of her faith, the ApOs-
ties and the Nicene Greed, all that We
shall find there are the articles: Il be-
lieve in God the Father Almighty,
Maker Of Heaven and Earth" He"
Jesus Christi ascending into heaven
and sitteth on the right hand of God
the Father Almighty, from thence he
shah come to judge the quick and the
dead" Il believe in the communion of
saints, the resurrection of the body and
the life everlasting" These in the
Apostles Greed, and in the Nicene the
additional clause: who for us men
and for our salvation came down from
heaven" and the somewhat different
phrascology of the closing sentences:
Il look for the resurrection of the dead
ami the life of the world to come" If
we turn to the Articles of Religion we
discover absolutely nothing but the sin
gle sentence in Art. ". answering al
most exactly to the language of the
Creeds: "Wherewith he ascended into
heaven and there sitteth until he re-
turn to judge al men at the last day"
In her Prayer Book are constant and

CoDrcrt Wheat Into Pork,

The low price of wheat and the high
price Of hogs should cause wheat holding
farmers to turn their wheat into hog
products, Wheat is about 10 per cent
better than corr faR feeding to pigs when
fed separately, but a mixture OF wheat
and corn will probably do better by %
per cent than either fed separately. Fif-
teen pounds of pork can be made from a
bushel of wheat with shoats that have
run on good pasture and are lank, but
with good frames and hearty digestion.
After six weeks feeding probably not
over twelve pounds can be made, as the
last portion of long fattening period
costs more heavily for feed.
On Aug. : wheat was quoted in Chi
cago at 81 3-4c per bushel for September
raising. The farmer on his farm would
realize much less than this figure on ac-
count of transportation charges. Hogs
on the same day We're quoted at $3.50
per cwt., which is fair price. BY fat
tening hogs on wheat, the wheat may be
sold by the grower in the fern of hog
at 81 or more per bushel. Wheat is
low, and prices are not strong, while in
the hog markets the opposite seems to be
the case. The largest car load of wheat
1000 bushels) in Chicago is worth $617,
while a car load of hogs of the same
weight 10000 pounds) would be worth
$3,4S0, A farmer in Central Illinois,
thinking that 35 cents was too low a
price to sell his wheat, put this expert
ment into operation and converted his
wheat into pork. He had $1,000 worth
of h9gs, which were matured in from six
to nine months. His method was to
soak the wheat in warm water twenty
four hours before feea;ng In cold wealth
Pr he let the water GONG 10 a boil in
the kettle and then poured in the Wheat
and put out the fire. When it cooled it
was soaked enough and ready to feed,
which he did Immediately. He weighed
the hogs before beginning to feed, and
kept a strict aeeoEpt of the weights of
all grain fed, also figured the corn at 30
cents and the fat hogs at 4 41-2 cents.
The wheat brough just $1.01 per bushel.
From this statement it would seem that
wheat is worth 81 per bushel to feed
when hogs are worth LIZ cents pei
pound. The present price of hogs in
Chicago market is 6 cents, which on the
above basis would make wheat worth
$1.35 per bushel.-Nationai Prayisi0ner.

Equitable Distribution Wanted.

1t is useless for any intelligent man to
try and deny thatAmerican manufactur-
ers, under the fostering care of pro-
tective tariff, have made an enormous
lot of money. There is no desire on the
part of the general public to curtail
these profits to a ruinous extent; what
is wanted is a more equitable distribu-
tion, for the benefit of wage-workers
and consumers, and, when this point is
reached, the meddlesome occupation
of the tariff-tinker will cease. He will
be completely disar1hed, and manutac-
turing business win no longer be at the
mercy of conscienceless demagogues.
Upon this point all intelligent friends
of protection ought to be able TO agree,
and now Is the time for coming to a
thorough understanding and perma-
nent conclusion to this effect.-Phila-

Thla4ilnn riremorlra.

The people Of Lcndcn are very much
interested in the wbistIing fireworks
which have long ceased to be regarded
over here as a pyrotechnic marvel
The popular notion among the Britons
is that gas generated by the combus-
tion of the fiery composition actually
blows whistle, but this supposition
il erroneous. SO far as can be deter
mined by the protechnists themselves,
the screaming noise is due to the vio-
lent combustion to the picrate or pot
ash with which the little tubes OF the
fireworks are stuffed. Experiments
have been made with ether materials,
but picrate Of potash is the only COM
bustible substance discoverable that
will give anything more than faint

HQw He Fooled the OLD Professor
with a Watch:
The examinations OF q certain :'prep"
school were in progress, says the New
York Sun. The boys were working
busily over their papers, and the grim
old professor was watching sharply
from his desk.
Presently he noticed that one of the
students, a prominent ne'er-do-well,
was consulting his watch with consid-
erable frequency. The professor studied
him. In five minutes he had looked at
the timepiece three times.
This was enough for the guardian.
He called the student to his desk and
demanded the watch. 1t was given
him and he opened it. Across the face
was piece of paper bearing the legend
''Fooled."
But the worthy professor was not to
be so easily deceived. He gave the stu
dent sharp, knowing glance, turned
the timepiece over and opened the back
cover. 1t opened with considerable
difficulty, and behold there was another
slip of paper bearing the information
''Fooled again, old fogy.''

The Largest Gold Nugget.

The largest nugget of gold ever
found was dug up at the mines of Bal.

"hole" had gone away to lunch, leaving
hired man digging with a pick-ax.
Suddenly he struck something. The
workman dug around it to see what ii
was and then he tainted. Presently
the owners returned and, seeing the
man lying in the hole, they thought he
was dead. One of them jumped in,
turned him over to see what was the
matter with him, and then he tainted

and immediately digging was wildly

exposed. The mass was so great that

they got it out 1t weighed $50 pounds
and few ounces. It's value was SAL,

Petitions VS.. Ballots.

petitions is novel one. But if the peti

This beautiful tariff, which increased
the duties in all the schedules save
two, went into effect July 1, 1850. From

there was surely opportunity to test its

IDLE Land-sell Every Foot Of II.

If there is any land upon the farm
which is not earning anything, it is a
direct menace to the prosperity Of the
rest of the farm. The taxes and the
interest on its cost go on just the
same as il were earning something,
and this detracts from the profit of
the whole. Often these idle and waste
places are but o harbor for vermin
and weeds, or IL they do not become 80.
1t is because there Is constant expend-
iture of labor to keep 1t clean, and this
labor might far better be expended
In the cultivation of some crop. It will
