The Folly of the Farmer.
N. o. States.

N. o. States.
For many years past the press of the
South has been urging upon farmers
the importance of diversifying their
crops, of planting more grain and less
cotton, thus killing two birds with one
stone-lowering the price Of produce
and increasing the price Of cotton by
diminishing the supply. These appeals
have gone unheeded, the usual response
Of the wise farmer being: what does
q newspaper man know about farm
ingan
should. ere this long, have taught plant
ers at least a modicum of sense, but
such has not been the case !; at all events
not those of Louisiana and Mississippi.
The farmers of Georgia., who have been
in the land of their Southern brethren
ever since the war, have acted more
wisely. The Macon Telegraph has the
following paragraph, which goes to
prove the fact
The farmers are in good condition
and well up with their payments. In
fact, they are ahead of last year, and
there will be very little paper carried
over. There is no doubt that the farm
ers are in much better condition than
ever before, Notwithstanding the low
price of cotton. just as long as they
raise corn, and corn also means meat,
they can live happily and have plenty.
Cardinal Gibbons. says q Baltimore
special of Tuesday, who has just re-
turned from Upper Marlboro, Nd, the
scene of the recent lynching, said that
while he strongly condemned lynch
ings, as he would all illegal acts, he
thought that il there was any palliation
for such summary executions it lay in
the loose method in which the admins
tration Of criminal justice is carried
out. The cardinal referred to a para
graph in his "Our Christian Heritage
in which he said:
The many grounds of exception al
lowed to counsel, the appeals from one
court to another, with final application
to the Governor and the facility with
which signatures for pardon are OBJ
tanned, have combined to throw around
culprits an e~xtravagant protective sys-
tenn, and gone far to rob jury trial of
it's substance and efficacy. A prompt
execution of the laws sentence. after a
fair trial had, is that which strikes ter
ror into evil-dOers and satisfies the pub
lie confidence. The reverse Of this
among us has brought reprOach upon
the administration of justice and given
plausible grounds for the application
Of lynch law.

Only Twenty People Known to Have
Lost Their Lives.

only twenty People known TO Have
Lost Their Lives.
BUENOS AYRES, Oct. '2S.-The earth
gentine Republic yesterday was the most
severe in the provinces of San Juan De
La Frontera and Ria Many churches,
theaters and private houses were destroyed.
Twenty persons are known to have per-
ished. TIL inhabitants are in a state of
panic, fearing a repetition Of the shock.
The government is sending aid to those
who have lost their homes, and everything
possible will be done to alleviate the suf-
fering. Though the shock was felt in other
parts Of the country, it was less severe
than in the two provinces above men
toned.
A correspondent at Cordova teiegraphs
that DR.. Thorns, chief of the observatory
there, states the shock to have been a
slight one, lasting four seconds, with TWO
oscillations, one toward the cast and the
other north and south. A correspondent at
Rosario telegraphS that the shocks lasted
from five to seven seconds. No damage
was done. Clocks were stopped at all
points.
From Rio de Janeiro it is reported that
the wave Of disturbance was felt at 4
o'clock running northeast and southwest.
it's walls cracked and the safety of the
building menaced.
A later dispatch from Cordova says that
assures have shown themselves in the walls
of the cathedral and that several churches
are unsafe.

THE COST OF BREAD
FACTS OF VALUE IN .GOOD
DEMOCRATIC TIMES"
Figures Given by Prof. w. O. Atwatcr
That Show the Baked 'StaR of
Life' Is Much Too High.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-In view of the
crusade for cheaper bread, inaugurated in
a number of cities, including Washington.
where the price has been reduced from
5 to 4 cents per loaf as a result of the cru
SADIE, the Agricultural Department has
given out a bulletin on 'the cost Of bread"
taken from the forthcoming report Of
Prof. w. o. Atwater, on the nutritive
value of foods. 1t says: "In practice 100
pounds of flour will make from 1S3 to 137
pounds of bread, an average being about
136 pounds. Flour, such as is used by ba-
kers. is now purchased in the Eastern
States at not over "a per barrel. This
would make the cost of the flour in a
pound Of bread about IL cents. Allowing
one-half cent for the shortening and salt,
which is certainly very liberal. the mate
rails for a pound Of bread would cost not
more than 2 cents. OF course there should
be added to this the cost of labor, rent,
interest on investments, expense Of SELL
ing, etc, to make the actual cost to the
baker. Very few accurate weighings and
analyses of bakers bread nave been made
in this country, SO far as / am aware, but
the above sta tements represent the facts
as nearly as l ave been able TO obtain
them. The average weight Of a number Of
specimens OF 10-cent loaves purchased in
Middletown Conn.,, was one and one-fourth
pounds. This makes the price to the con-
sumner s cents per pound. The price of
bread and the size of the loaf are prac-
tically the same now as when -four cost
twice as much.
1.-The cost of bakers bread is a compare
lively small matter to the person who buys
only a loaf now and then. but in the East
ern States and in the larger towns through
out the country, many people, and es-
pecially those with moderate incomes and
the poor. buy their bread at the bakeries.
Six cents a pound, or even half that amount
for the manufacture and distribution seems
a very large amount. In the large cities
competition has made bread much cheaper,
but even there the difference between the
cost of bread to the well-to-do families
who bake IL themselves and the families
Of the poor man who buy 1T Of the baker.
is unfortunately large"
The report also goes into the chemistry
and scientific features of bread making.
The nutrients in bakers bread are pro-
team. 8 per cent: fats, 2 per cent: carbo-
hydrates, 56 per cent: mineral matter, 1
per cent. a total of 6S per cent. nutrients
ard 90 per cent. water. In wheat flour the
total nutrients are SO per cent and water
Il per cent, showing that the nutrients
are largely reduced by baking. The 20
tential energy in a pound of flour is 1900
per cent; in a pound of bakers bread.
1900 per cent. With the increase in the
proportion of water In the bread as COM
pared with the flour, the proportion of nu-
trients is diminished, but the addition Of
shortening anG salt brings up the fat and
minerals in the bread so that the proper
tons are larger than N flour.

The Value of Imnginatfou.

Amelia +. Barr, in North American Review.
No gift of the Almighty is so little valued
by the hand workers of the world as the
royal power of imagination. Parents near
ly always think ii a disqualifying prepara-
ton for money making. Yet imagination is
one of the grandest forces in actual life,
and only the ignorant despise il. The abil-
ity to conceive the absent as IL il were
present. would enable many a man to set
his temptation visibly before him and see
the consequences of his act. An eminent
English historian attributes the indian
mutiny TO Lord Dalhousie's want of imag-
ination; his inability to conceive the results
OF his provoking acts. Mr.. Disraeli finds
the same fault with the political genius of
Sir Robert Peel. Mr.. Mill says the want
of Imagination vitiates the whole philos-
ophy of Bentham. In the same way fraud
arises less often from conscious roguery
than from an inability to conceive the
absent as If il were present" and by the
power OF imagination see the results OF a
dishonest act We all know people who Will
weep over a novel or a play and yet care
nothing for the suffering around them. This
is because the novelist or the playwright
brings wildly before their imagination the
fictitious suffering; but they have no imag-
ination OF their own 10 realize the actual
suffering. Therefore, even men who are to
be employed in commerce or craftsmanship
might take a course of good novels to slim
ulate their imagination. for imagination aids
foresight and enables us to estimate prob
able results.
