FARM MORTGAGE TRACTS.
of the Farms in the
Country Are Free of Incumbrance.

Three-Quarters of The Farms in the
Country Are Free of Remembrance.
Three-quarters of all farms in the
brance. Only one-fourth Of the total
number of the total number OF farms
in the United States are mortgaged.
The average mortgage represents on
" one-third of the value of the farm
upon which it is secured. The total
amount of farm mortgages in the whole
country is hardly one-tenth of the to-
tai value of all the farms.
In 1880. nearly one-fifth of the mort
gaed indebtedness rested on farms;
but in 1890 farm mortgages represent
ed only one-Seventh of the country's
toal indebtedness on real estate Out
of every 100 families on American
farms, in 1890, forty-seven owned their
farms free of mortgage; twenty owned
but with incumbrance; and thirtytwo
hired the farms they lived on and
worked.
Four-fifths of the amount of debt on
farms and homes was incurred for the
commendable purpose of buying and
improving the property, and a like
portion Of the number of farms and
homes were mortgaged for the same
purpose. The toal real estate mortgage
debt that existed in the United States
in 1880 is estimated at $500. 900, 900.
equally divided between lots and acre
tracts. In 1890 the total amount of
such incumbrance had more than
doubled, but only 81 per cent of it was
on acres, and Sc per cent. on urban
property. The total mortgages on ac-
tual farms were about $50, 600, 900 in 1880,
and ten years later were about $500 0OO-
OO0, an increase of $3.50, 900, 900 in the
decade.
During these ten years no less than
100000 new farms were created in the
west and south. If only one-half of
them carried the average size mort
gage this would readily account for
the increase in the total debt on farms.
Mortgages on other acre tracts than
farms proper were in 1890 about ST.
I6S, 0OO,O 600, or an increase of $438, 00O, 900
during the decade.
The mortgages on lots-that is. on
city and town property-amounted to
$3.50, 100000 at the opening of the ninth
decade, but in 1890 were estimated aft
nearly $4,000 OOO,OO or an increase of
over 81, zoo, 100000 during the ten years.
The total mortgage indebtedness in
June, 1890, is estimated to have been
some $4,000 900, 900, as against 81. 5000
0OO,O In 1880, an increase of SO, 500, O00.-
Ihese fgures look large but show
that the total indebtedness on real es-
tate In the United States is only about
S92 per capita. Add to this the ner
capita amount represented by the pub
lie debts of the United States (s14,63
OF states and territories ($3.56), and Of
the counties ($2.2O-a total Of $40 40
and 1t appears that the public debt
and all real estate mortgages in the
United States amount to only S112 per
capita. -
In other words in June. 1890. the

raise their heads over it to take aim.
Snokeless powder makes it easier for
the attack to deliver such a fire; hence
the difficulties of the defense will be in
creased.
Further, in the absence of smoke,
men stationary on the defense cannot
escape the depressing influence of the
dead and wounded lying around them,
but the attack leaves all these evil
dences of the fight behind it. So here
again the advantage is on its side.
With reference to the question of the
use of snokeless powders by the artil-
lery. the general idea seems 70 be that
it was all a gain to the side which
thought more of killing its enemy than
Of avoiding being killed itself. 1t enor-
mously facilitates the maintenance of
fire discipline within the battery, per-
mits of continuous fire even at the
most rapid rate, for no smoke inter-
feres with the laying Of the guns. and
above all things cheers the hearts of
the men by enabling them to see the
results of their fire.
AS a means of concealment it is of
no use at all. for even at extreme
ranges of 5000 yards and upward the
flash of discharge is always distinctly
visible, and at fighting ranges the
flash enables one to note exactly the
not always possible with the old pow
ders, for the smoke obscured the OBJ
ject and prevented ones picking UP an
exact point to aim at.
The artillery will be far from regret
ting the loss of the two clouds which
hung, the one in front of their own and
the other in front of the enemy's guns.
Smoke is a, cover added to that fur
nished by the ground, and no one has
ever been anxious for his opponent to
have covers which he himself could
not turn TO advantage. If both are de-
prived of this cover victory will be-
long to him who, all else being equal,
can most sl1illfully supply the defic-
iency.
Maneuvers will hereafter probably
take place over larger areas before
actual fighting begins, and something
of an Indians craft and natural keen
ness will be needed on the part of
staff officers. Smoke has been so good
q, cover on many occasions that its alb
sence will impose new conditions, and
natural cover will have to be much
more extensively utilized. With the
vanishing poetry of the smoke battle
the prose of a new era will begin, in
which combat will be more like a game
of chess in view of the pieces as a
whole, and new dispositions of old
qualities and virtues will be wanted

WOMEN OF THE SEA.
Not Mermaids, but the Canny Stew
ardesses of "Ocean Liners"

Seasick condolences are recognized on
every line of ocean steamships as a pc
culiar and interesting variety of COM
munication. This form of illness above
ali others demoralized self esteem and
takes the starch out of human nature.

are reeled off to the officers the first
instant she can get together an appre-

The stewardess comes from all sorts
of positions in life. Usually she is the
wife of some dead captain, officer of
the line or attache whom the company
feels bound to look after. She has
cruised through many seas, TRADED"
as she calls it, in many ports. In these
wanderings she has taken on many of
the accomplishments of old salts,
among these taste for good stories
and an enjoyment of a hearty thirst.
She prefers gin. She may be of any
nationality-she is usually Scotch-and
as a raconteur her stories lose nothing
in the accent. AS curiously the en-
gineer is usually Scotch. Whatever
may be the flag at the peak or the
tongue of the ship, the engineer and
stewardess will be Scotch They are
accordingly great friends and talk
much about the bonny braes when
they are together. The stewardess is

confined and unsteady, but where she
reigns alone.
The profession, however. is not what
it used to be. On any passenger steam
ship each cabin used to be considered
as worth a pound each trip. The value
in the past few years has largely fallen
off. The stewardess is glad if she can
count on 81 a cabin. This is due to
several things, but chiefly to the quick
passage and greater comforts of travel.
There is less need of the ministrations
of the stewardess and less time for
them. The Stewardess has a keen eye
for estimating the social condition and
opportunities of the passengers and
directs herself accordingly. Yet with
what kindly feelings one remembers
the bluff, genial companionship and en-
couragement of this cruising old salt
